Hello, i have a gt-n8010 tablet and just updated it to 4.4.2, from 4.1.2 i had root, worked any method cwm or autoroot, but in this version cant make root work well, i use SuperSU as root app, i do this: (debugging is on)
1 install SuperSU through autoroot (using odin) it installs and everthing goes well, reboots and it says something about disabling knox i just hit yes
2 install pro and configure the SuperSU app,
but at some point after using the app (granting root access), when i access the SuperSU interface it tells me that SuperSU has to update the "su" binary it asks me "normal" or "CWM", i hit normal as always because i didnt install CWM recovery, but this time fails installation and closes the app unlike version 4.1.2 wich didnt have any problem, and doesnt let me to access the app interface because it keeps telling me about updating binary, but when an app asks for root access it still asks me to grant it, and any app previously root granted stays granted.
the apps i use with root are: root explorer, root uninstaller, game killer, triangle away
wich seems strange is that root explorer, root uninstaller and triangle away once i grant root access they work fine, i can access root folders and modify them, uninstall system apps and even reset flash count, but game guardian, game killer and gamecih dont work as they should, they open well but cant use them to read memory and change any ingame value.
gamecih just never shows that has root access even if i granted it and doesnt respond to hotkey
game guardian opens and appears to work but when searching for a value shows 0 results everytime, every game
and game killer opens, but the message saying "Rooted" never shows and after like 20 seconds it closes and opens again in an infinite loop without letting me use it, it also doesnt respond to hotkey.
i have also tried the CWM recovery method and install SuperSU through recovery, it install without problem and just as previous method after some time of use it tells me that SuperSU has to update binary and fails installation and still cant use apps like game killer, i go back to CWM recovery and reinstall it, it reinstalls but this second time, it tells me something about disable recovery flash i just hit yes and after that it warns me about root access loss and ask me to fix it, wich i say yes, then i hit reboot now and everything goes well, but same problem, updating binary problem and no game killer type apps.
i have tried uninstalling every knox app, but still the same. i like to hack games rooting for anything else doesnt matter, any idea what can be causing this? and how to solve it?
do you disable KNOX?
Same Problem without knox.
What can I do? Many apps don't work.

I have a problem with superuser that I can't understand.
So I bought this new Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and I rooted it by flashing my phone with Clockworkmod 6.0.4.5(1116) with Odin, and then installing UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip through the recovery window.
To be honest the process didn't go ideally smooth. Since I misunderstood how to proceed with the process, I had to reinstall Clockworkmod a few times.
After finishing from that, I started trying to use software that needs root access (like LuckyPatcher), and lucky patcher was hanging at the beginning black screen and not proceeding. And I tried many other programs, and they always don't proceed and stop.
So eventually I went to the Application Manager and select Superuser, and chose to "Uninstall updates", and only then, all those Superuser prompt messages started popping up asking me to grant LuckyPatcher and all other software that tried to access root... and since I chose to Uninstall updates, the phone restarted.
Of course, after the phone restarts, we're back at square 1, but the programs, to whom I granted root access get root access for some time...
I tried updating Superuser from the market, but when the program starts, it says "The Superuser binary (su) must be updated.", and I have a option called "Recovery Install", when I choose it, the phone keeps showing a message saying "Installing Superuser..." and it never finishes. Yesterday I left it and went to sleep, and eventually it gave an error message. I would say that Superuser update itself requires root access which it couldn't get... but that's as far as I know. I tried the "Uninstall updates" trick but it never worked.
Also I have to say I tried to install Superuser versions 1.51, 1.60, 1.65, 1.80 through recovery with a zip file, and it didn't fix it. And I installed CrashROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535355
and it didn't help either.
What do you think? How can I repair that and have normal Superuser permission asked normally? Please advise.
Thank you.
Any help, please?
Problem solved
The solution was to specifically install SuperSU from the market and not superuser. That fixed it.
Does anyone know of a temporary unroot solution that works on an S4 with Android 4.4.2? I'm trying to run the Three Intouch app and Rootcloak/RootCloak Plus don't do the trick for me.
what i'm doing now works...but it's kind of long winded.....good solution if you want TEMP ROOT, but usually NOT ROOT. Maybe not so good the other way around, but it will work still.
1 - root with towelroot
2 - install SuperSU from PlayStore and attempt to open and update binary (it may fail)
3 - reboot and open SuperSU again, if it again asks to update binary it will work this time, reboot once more).
4 - set up your options in SuperSU (e.g. no notification, trust system user etc).
5 - do whatever you need to do with root
6 - to UNROOT just choose "Full Unroot" option within SuperSU app, THEN also uninstall towelroot.
7 - Reboot and you'll be UN rooted and apps like SkyGo etc will work perfectly.
8 - If you need to re-root, repeat the process from step 1.

Thanks. I'm already rooted with CF-Auto Root but will bear this in mind. I was hoping for something I could run from a command line which would temporarily disable root while I wanted to run the app.
Yeah, I'm not sure that any of these really work well. It seems that some apps work fine using the temp unroot/rootcloak/hide root solutions, but any apps that are not working with those need a full unroot before they will play ball. At least until geohot comes along and makes a magic one button root toggle (which of course will also reset Knox trip back to 0x0)

I did see someone on a message board who managed to get the app working with RootCloak/Cydia, but don't know which phone/OS he was using
interesting......if you find out, be sure to post back, as this app is the main reason why i need to stay unrooted, most other apps i care about work either with root or while root is hidden.
Hi All,
For some reason, just in the past week or so, with no changes to my vs980 except updating twrp to 2.8.1, i've lost all capability of superuser apps but all the apps that have that require root access continue to work. I use Carbon ROM, am on 4.4.4 and do my own builds. It has it's own built in SU but I've been using SuperSU. When a new app tries to get su access via SuperSU, the "grant" button won't press so the app eventually gets denied.
I uninstalled SuperSU and now only using the built in SU app that comes with Carbon ROM. It doesn't seem to be doing anything. No logs are being generated (yes, they are turned on) and I get no toast notifications when apps request root access. But they all still work fine... which seems very odd.
What does all this mean? Can the new twrp be causing it? How can I get SU apps to work again? I've run "root checker" and it says I have root. But when I first run the app, it never asks for root access.
Thanks.
Hey guys, is sky go still blocked on rooted devices? I have an S5 that i rooted a while ago but returned to stock for the purpose of sky go, Has anyone found a way around it? i know there was rootcloak and a few other apps to try and prevent it but those didnt work back then, Hope for a reply. thanks alot guys.
Wasn't there a sky go xposed module for this? I maybe wrong... I use "hide my root" and a stock kernel when using the "all 4" channel 4 on demand app. Maybe the same will work for you? Root cloak didn't work me, the normal or xposed version both were fails for me. But the app I mentioned did the job.

I felt I had a simile but without effect hoped for , try this
There's finally a way round the restriction that prevents people with rooted Android devices from being able to use Sky Go.
Follow this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/mod-magisk-v1-universal-systemless-t3432382
It involves:
1) returning to stock ROM (unrooted)
2) installing a custom recovery such as TWRP and booting into it
3) installing Magisk
4) installing Magisk's version of phh's Superuser
5) rebooting into system
6) installing phh's Superuser app
7) installing Magisk's management app
8) whenever wanting to use Sky Go, disabling root in Magisk's app
9) re-enabling root afterwards in the same app.
I can confirm this works reliably. I have it running on my rooted LG V10, having never managed to get Sky Go to run on a rooted device before.
Do bung the developer who invented Magisk a donation if it's worked for you and if you can.

My device: Gt-p7500 with lollipop aosp.
Sky go was detecting the rom (not rooted ) wasn't stock and it considered that as a root problem showing the error message. After many tests I assumed sky go was detecting the aosp rom by reading a string "key tests " in the build number and looking the SeLinux mode permissive.
The solution was: rooting the device, mounting system with twrp, downloading app "prop-editor "(play store) , edit the parameters of the build.prop file (under folder system) and replace every "key tests " string( with whatever you want) in the parameters., set enforcing mode of Se Linux by flasing a zip file ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=12047) After that full unrooted the device, reboot....and finally everything works. I hope it will be useful. Ciao.
I downloaded Kingroot today, ran it & achieved ROOT. SUCESS! If I had only stopped their. I downloaded Rootchecker Pro & it said I had Root. Great. Then I uninstalled Kingroot & installed SU from the play store. SU tried to update the Binary & failed over & over, reboot, failed over & over. THEN I did some reading & realized you cant delete Kingroot. I figured I could just re-download & re-install it & get ROOT again. During the process Google Security popped up over & over & I accidentely clicked Enable. Kingroot said it was installed but at the end of the apk Process where it usually says "DONE" or "OPEN", Open is Grayed out I cant click it & Kingroot isnt installed. I cant get it to install now. Rootchecker now says Root is not Properly installed. I went in to Google Settings & turned off the App Security, I verified I have Allow Apps from Unknown Sources checked. I can NOT get Kingroot to re-install so I can have ROOT again. Any help will be much appreciated. Would a FDR allow me to re-download Kingroot & Install it? I dont want to FDR but I really dont want to do it if its not going to help me achieve ROOT. Thanks Jason T
