LG-D802
4.4.2
Im on stock LG rom I just rooted my phone and did nothing else
I first tried this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48709232&postcount=869
could not see superuser in my phone so i tried this one with ioroot10
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887
I did nothing special after the first one i jumped directly to the second one without doing anything else
Ok so I already rooted my phone now my problem is that superuser cant update its binaries always says download manifest failed
and non of my app ever request root access they just automatically have access to root
I even tried changing settings in superuser to deny all root access made from apps but nothing happens it's like the apps are just ignoring the superuser
I also tries SuperSU but it always says "installation failed please reboot and try again" i did reboot and but nothing
now I have uninstalled both of them and everything works like they used to its like the app superuser and superSU did nothing
My apps still have root access
I really want to use SuperSU can anyone help me? i dont want to have clockwork recovery or what else that is
is there a solution to this?

try towel root. run it it should reboot after rooting.. this should update your su binaries in the system
after it reboots install and run SuperSU from the play store

anyother mirror link? main site download link does not work -
Scratch that only has problems with firefox trying to install now will update l8tr
UPDATE: wow it actually works this has to be the best rooting tool

[GUIDE] Update Superuser From Market FIX!

I am running LeeDrOiD, but I know many people have this issue.
If you are trying to update Superuser from the market, and you get invalid signature and installation fails. This is my work around, which works for me.
My rom had superuser.apk and not Superuser.apk, which linux takes as two files whilst windows references everything in capitals.
Download Superuser Update Fixer.
Run the application, which will say that signature fails. Then run the fix, which will say okay all the way through and the signature still fails.
Download Root Explorer, and mount /system/ as rw.
Go to /system/apps/ and you will find Superuser.apk and superuser.apk, rename or delete superuser.apk and then rename Superuser.apk to superuser.apk.
Restart your phone.
Go to app drawer, and launch Superuser. Your whitelist and blacklist has been erased.
Run Superuser Update Fixer and you should see signature match is okay, now click update from market and enjoy.

I don't think there is. There may be another app that does this job though. You need something that can mount system rw.
It may be possible to do this step with ADB, however I just posted how I did it.
ES file explorer has this system rw option, it says that it only works with CM and some other rom but it works for me and I'm running leedroid. Only problem is you have to unmount and mount it again every now and then.
Yeah to make it work just select the non CM7 mod option, HIAPK i think it's called? either way just select that one, apart from what the guy above me said about the remounting every now and then, should be a good substitute for root explorer
I downloaded superuser from market and the fix but wen using es explorer i only see one superuser?

I only have the Superuser.apk, but still have problems on the update. I had lost root and just decided to reroot, but got the Ninja Icon app. I tried to update - sig failed. Tried the Update Fixer and on changing to 644 fail, check sigs fail. Then I tried this.
Any other ideas on how to get it?
Wat rom u using?

Go to the play store and download the free version of Titanium backup or Rom Manager.
Titanium backup and Rom Manager both require ROOT access and they will ask you to allow it.
Forget about the "root checker" app, it's not needed and perhaps it's even faulty.
If Titanium backup or Rom Manager asks for root access and you grant it, it means that you are
fully rooted and you don't have any issues with root.
If trying the above does not show you that you do indeed have root access then download
cf-autoroot and unzip it and flash the TAR file using Odin.
CF-AutoRoot will give you full access after flashing it, but even then use Titanium backup
or Rom Manager to make sure you have root, not that "root checker" app you have.
Here is the direct download link for cf-autoroot:
http://download.chainfire.eu/316/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip?retrieve_file=1
This zip file contains cf-autoroot.tar and the Odin files in case you need it.
Unzip all the files into an empty folder on your desktop.
Good luck!

I have rooted successfully Desire 626 (At&t) that's on Android Version 5.1, Steps on how to root below:
First Enabled "Unknown sources," Settings->Security->Tick the Check Box and Click yes.
Return to App Drawer, open File Manger and install "KingRoot-4. 1 .0.249.apk" when finish installing open the app

Sorry bout that....link has been Updated.
Thank you for the quick reply. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I downloaded the zip file, installed KingRoot and opened the app, but the root keeps failing. I've tried multiple times and KingRoot fails at around 60% every time. I updated KingRoot and that failed, too. Based on your screenshots, it seems like we have the exact same phone with AT&T. Would really love to root if you have any suggestions. ("Unknown sources" is enabled and Bootloader is unlocked ) Thank you!

use the kingroot app provided...if your bootloader is unlocked then it should work.
uninstall kingroot and restart your phone.. connect to WiFi or Data, reinstall kingroot open and try root again..if it fails try again at least 3 more times.
Worked perfect for me
