Have you tried rebooting the phone? Or try installing superSU from Play and try again.

MJ7 Root Without SuperSU?

So ive finally achieved root with MJ7 when I tried with Win8. Only problem is I tried to replace the SU from kingo. Now every time I try to use Framework or Xanam it says there is no SU binary installed and SU cannot install it. Any suggestions? I know I cant be the only one.
Thanks in advance!
no reason

I don't see a reason to not use the SuperSU that came with kingo, I know there's a zip file on here that has a different SU if you look, but I used K root without any issues.

root and superSU

I was updating superSU on my note 3 after root. I tried to use game killer, only to get the message that root wasn't available. I loaded up superSU and was told that the binary couldn't be found... I downloaded a root checker and it said that root access was there... So I unrooted and re rooted. Same deal.
I'm not sure how to fix the issue.
Can anyone please help

Have you deleted then given Super SU privileges back? I find installing a new rom can sometimes screw with them....

When I first got the phone it had a rom full of provider bloatware. I flashed another stock Roma to get rid of it. Then I flashed xnote and decided OT wasn't for me, so I went back to stock (without bloats)

Delete the apps from SU then when prompted give them permission again - like normal you will need to re-open them again and get the "Grant root access" prompt from SU...This may work, has for me everytime...
Only other thing I would do if this didn't work would be re-stock and start from scratch...

I have already reflashed stock back to my phone, re rooted and the problem still exsists
Currently I'm on stock again (downloaded from sammobile)
Every time I open superSU, it tells me there is a problem with the SU BINARY (when I was rooted. I'm not trying to use super SU unrooted lol)
Just rooted again and its still the same...

Yeah, done all of that. Is there a way to manually wipe the SU binary and reinstall? The root checker app says root access is allowed
Is there another way to see if it's the SU binary or game killer having issues?

If you attempts to fix root access denied on game killer then it won't work. Gamekiller/gamecih/gameguardian doesn't work with android 4.3 and above.
I however tried gamecih with cm based rom last week & it worked

OK, so you're saying those kind of apps will no longer work?
What about the SU binary issue?

Its not a superSU issue, guess the dev needs to update the gamekiller app. Do you have root privileges with other root apps?

Try unrooting superSU from the app itself and reflash the latest (1.94 i think) superSU.zip in recovery or with Flashify (if compatible ,Playstore) flash CF Root in downloadmode. Hope that helps.

Your SU binary got issue but yes even you solve it those apps won't work.
Try uninstall it from playstore. There is also flashable supersu
http://download.chainfire.eu/204 but I never use it either or maybe reroot

ES explorer can't get root access either.
Should I flash superSU.zip straight over the top using recovery? Or is that not a good idea?

I have unrooted (flashing stock rom using recovery) and rerooted (using CF auto root... Or whatever it's called) many times.

[Q] Root problems

I'm having problems with my root on the Canadian model of the S5. My phone is for sure rooted but only some apps that I grant root permission to actually get it. For example, Power Toggles gets the root access that it's granted but GameCIH doesn't. Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?

Sorry, should have included that I'm using SuperSU already. I flashed superuser via zip file anyways. I tried different ROMs that were prerooted but the same thing happens still.

hmmm, try disabling knox? I heard a few people say that knox interferes with root, not TOO sure about it. But worth a try i guess

Ok thanks
Kingo Root Works for Metro PCS Zmax
Try That and there is twrp for zmax just look under model number .
not sure about roms yet will research an let you guys know.
It can be rooted, but it's very hit-or-miss; you can do it perfect fifty times in a row and fail all fifty. There's no reliable way to do it yet.
Latest version of KingRoot (NOT KingoRoot) works fine right after a factory reset. Root using KingRoot, enable Root Permissions in KingRoot, run the TWRP installer APK, uninstall KingRoot and any other apps it installs, boot into TWRP, flash SuperSu Update zip, reboot.

That's what I did, and it worked, but doing a factory reset beforehand sounds like a good idea.

[Q] stump root being weird? any help appreciated!

hi people,
i am on firmware 800d20y, just bought the d800 today. i did the 'brute force' method, which initially worked, but after a short while, i lost root access. I literally have no idea what happened, the stump root app still says 'device is rooted', but the root checker app says i don't have root access. I tried a couple of different apps to check for root access, but to no avail.
any help, ANY at all to get root would help immensely! I'm trying to get a custom recovery (prob twrp) so i can flash a cm12 nightly rom...
im still a little new to this, any help would be appreciated!
You could try LGroot

Try to flash supersu through recovery
Do you mean through a custom recovery, or the stock one? I'm only asking because I don't have a custom recovery yet. And if you mean through the stock recovery, I don't know how to do that :/
