[Q] Note 3 Rooted But SuperSU Fails to Update Binary - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Used Towel to root device. Confirmed various apps (AdAway, Super Backup, and Xposed Installer) work and I have access to what I need. However, SuperSU will not update binary. I keep getting, "Installation failed ! Please reboot and try again."
The device is currently on NC4. I found the following steps via root instructions for a Note 3 on Jelly Bean:
IF YOU ARE ON NC4 (Official VZW OTA) Follow The Below Instructions

WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR DEVICE IS COMPLETELY YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY
Step- 1 - Root Device with TowelRoot courtesy of geohot
Step- 2 - Install Busybox from play store and install busybox itself
Step- 3 - Install Safestrap 3.75 courtesy of Hashcode
Step- 4 - Boot into Safestrap, Select Stock Slot
Step- 5 - Wipe Data, Use Factory Reset Slider
Step- 6 - Install The Latest BajaROM courtesy of Bajasur
Step- 7 - Reboot into Download mode From Safestrap
Step- 8 - Unzip & Install In ODIN This NC2 Kernel .tar courtesy of Beanstown106
I have all my data either saved to my SD card or backed up via Google. I presume these steps work but I am not familiar with a lot of the terminology. Does anyone have a guide (video guide would be great but at least something for the layperson) that can guide me through the rest of the rooting process?

...someone else reported this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-note-3/help/supersu-wont-update-t2846970#post54806991
Does anyone have any ideas on how to properly resolve this?

For those who care...
From computer:
- Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
- Download the latest version of SuperSU to computer
- Unzip compressed file and saved the output to another location
- Sync all files to device (I saved everything in a folder called "SuperSU." I cannot confirm if all the files are needed)
From device:
- Open My Files and navigate to the folder you just synced
- Open Common folder and click on Superuser.apk
- Confirm update (you will not lose your current granted apps within SuperSU)
- Once update is complete, open SuperSU and update binaries using TWRP (device will restart)
- Once restarted in TWRP, select the option to reboot device (device will restart as normal)
- Once restarted as normal, open SuperSU
You will not be prompted to update binaries and you will have full access to the app. I do not know if this would be any quicker if done directly from the device but this should help anyone who may be stuck in the same loop.

Alliance rom
So whenever I've installed Baja alliance rom Nc4 it won't fully boot. On rom slot 1. Would I still be OK to run this rom and wipe the main rom. Should I right over the main rom?

[Q] Why I lost my ROOT when I install another ROM?´

Hi!
This is my question, Why I lost my ROOT when I install another ROM?
I have the following case.....
- CM with Android 4.3 and Rooted, working without problems.
- I install the ROM [JB 4.3 JWR66Y] [Linaro gcc 4.8] ♦ PURITY ROM ♦ (Mako) 24/10 with the CWM (before formating everything)
- I install the last SuperSU version with the CWM, without problems.
- I start the Nexus4, I try to open SuperSU but I receive the error "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it."
- I format everything again with CWM, and I install again only the CM Android 4.3, without SuperSU or something similar.
- I have root permisions.
What I´m doing wrong, to don´t get the Purity Rom with Root??
Problem SOLVED!!
- With the CM Rom, install the SuperSU via CWM.
- Download TWRP (http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/129) and install it, but not "activate" the recovery jet.
- Open SuperSU and desactivate activate the "Super User" check, some times, but leaving at the end activated.
- Open TWRP, give root rights!!! and in options, select "Install open...:"
- Install the Purity ROM via TWRP
- Enjoy
All custom ROMs come rooted. Of course SuperSU isn't going to work; the original SU application and binary are still in place. You never had to flash anything root related.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
not true. many custom roms come without supersu or superuser, where it would be the users responsibility to flash either supersu or superuser.
This PURITY ROM comes without Root, thats why they say that you need to use SuperSU

[Q] Unable to Reroot with TowelRoot after Odin restore?

Howdy,
I am stuck and not sure what to do at this point. I have rooted this phone in the past with no problems with TowelRoot and I do not think anything has changed. I had JasmineRom installed but then I mucked up my SafeStrap install so I had to restore with Odin.
This is what I have done:
1) Flashed phone with NC4 firmware from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524572
2) Used the HLTE_USA_VZW_32G.pit file as well
3) Let Odin complete until it reached "Pass" state.
4) Pulled battery (as phone was stuck at the VZW logo), and booted into recovery mode then did a factory reset.
5) Booted phone fully.
6) Installed TowelRoot, BusyBox, SuperSU. TowelRoot said it worked. Neither SuperSU nor BusyBox will get me anywhere. By this I mean BusyBox complains about permissions and SuperSU eventually gets to the Disable Knox prompt but fails to do so then closes out. Check Root says device is not rooted. SafeStrap also fails of course, reports no root and busybox is not installed.
7) I did a factor reset from System. Let this completed and repeated the steps in 7) but with the same results.
I looked at TowelRoot thread, while I have not taken any additional updates after restoring with Odin, I do see that the dev has left his project to work for Google and fix such exploits. However, looking at other threads looks like people are still rooting with success so not sure what to think or what to try at this point.
Happy to provide any additional information if requested.
Thanks!

Pls Help Re: Rooted Lollipop & Xposed

I recently had to replace my phone through warranty and so now I'm new to Safestrap.
So please bare with me!
So what I am trying to do is root my phone keep the stock lollipop and put Xposed on but when I flash Xposed my phone gets stuck on AT&T.
The other day I ended up trying something different and yes Xposed work but I was getting gasps and google play not wroking.
Here are my steps for when my phone gets stuck on AT&T ( These are also my notes for me that I keep and follow)
1. Odin through computer and put I337UCUFNB1_Rootable_Full_Odin.
2. Once installed and gone through set up steps, installed Towelroot, and Root Phone.
3. Install Super User. (Sometimes after it disables Knox it requires to reboot or If disabling Knox takes WAY too long get out of app press menu key and close out all apps and clear ram. Re open super su and it will disable Knox and no reboot is required)
4. Install Flash Fire.
5. Flashed - I337_OC3_Stock_DeOdexed_ROM.zip through Flash Fire (Flash Zip or OTA). Once it tries to restart for about 10-20 minutes there will be AT&T logo.
6. Once installed and gone through set up steps again, install Busy Box, Safestrap, & NC1 Flasher.
7. In Safestrap app - clicked on Install Recovery
8. NC1 app - Flashed and reboot.
9. Safestrap loads up.
10. Wipe Factory reset
11. Install ATT_OC3_modules
12. Install I337_Stock_OC3_kernel_recovery_flashable and then reboot. Again AT&T logo sits for about 10 - 20 minutes and I do a battery pull.
13. Install Flash Fire and XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk
14. Flash xposed-v74-sdk21-arm.zip through Flash Fire.
15. The phone will sit at the AT&T logo for ever. I do a battery pull and still the same thing. Will not Boot up.
I DON’T THINK THIS IS PROCESS IS RIGHT BUT XPOSED DID WORK AND GASPS AND GOOGLE PLAY STOPPED WORKING.
-Note the Colored lines is what I did differently from up above
1. Odin through computer and put I337UCUFNB1_Rootable_Full_Odin.
2. Once installed and gone through set up steps, installed Towelroot, and Root Phone.
3. Install Super User. (Sometimes after it disables Knox it requires to reboot or If disabling Knox takes WAY too long get out of app press menu key and close out all apps and clear ram. Re open super su and it will disable Knox and no reboot is required)

7. In Safestrap app - clicked on Install Recovery
8. NC1 app - Flashed and reboot.
9. Safestrap loads up.
10. Wipe Factory reset
11. Install I337_OC3_Stock_DeOdexed_ROM.zip
12. Install ATT_OC3_modules
13. Install I337_Stock_OC3_kernel_recovery_flashable and then reboot. Again AT&T logo sits for about 10 - 20 minutes and I do a battery pull.
14. Install Flash Fire and XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk
15. Flash xposed-v74-sdk21-arm.zip through Flash Fire.
16. The phone will sit at the AT&T logo for ever. I do a battery pull and still the same thing. Will not Boot up.
17. Battery Pull and go into Recovery Mode.
18. Wipe Clean and then Installed I337_OC3_Stock_DeOdexed_ROM.zip
19. I believe this is the time when it was able to restart the phone. Xposed work but got GASPS and GOOGLE not working.
I have also tried to install Xposed through Safestrap but I believe it didn't work.
I know this is long but I've finally been trying to keeps notes on what and how I've been doing this.
Can someone Please help me with this process?
You need to sdk22 version of xposed for the S4.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using XDA Free mobile app
Actually you need the unofficial xposed for tw, look here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3113463
Unless the official xposed works now, I haven't checked the thread lately.
I had the same problem. After some trial and error and many bootloops later, I found the right files. I've attached the ones I use. I use GoldenEye ROM, but it should work on OC3 Deodexed ROM too.

[request] step-by-step guide on how to get from stock to CM12.1 (I9301I)

Hi,
I want to go from 4.4.2 stock unrooted device to the official CM12.1 ROM. However, I am not sure what I need to do/have and the order in which I should proceed in order to make the process safe and optimal. I think that if someone more knowledgeable writes a simple guide here on in a separate thread on this topic it will be immensely helpful to the community.
Thanks in advance!
You only have to follow three guides:
1. Root your device
2. Install TWRP
3. Flash CM
Download-
1. Kingroot android app
2. Twrp manager app
3. Cm12.1
All you need to is-
1. Root your phone using kingroot app.
2. After rooting install twrp recovery by twrp manager app.
3. Then boot your phone into recovery mode and click on "install" then choose cm12.1
You don't need a pc for this... GOOD LUCK
Download-
1. Kingroot android app
2. Flashify (from the play store)
3. Twrp manager app
4. Cm12.1
5. Open Gapps (ones you prefer, I use mini)
All you need to is-
1. Root your phone using kingroot app.
2. Install Flashify & make a backup of stock kernel & recovery.
3. Install twrp recovery. Boot into TWRP recovery using power + volume down keys (while phone is off). THEN USE IT TO MAKE COMPLETE COSTUME BACKUP! Check every single partition to make a backup of (you may consider for the size reasons skipping the data partition, that is one containing apps you installed). Transfer this backup to a PC or other safe storage & take a good care of it because when ever you screw up things this one will allowe you to get back to stock. Also do the same with Flashify Kernel & stock recovery backups.
4. Boot into TWRP recovery using power + volume down keys (while phone is off). If not already there. Do the wipe! Install CyanogenMod 12.1 (I strongly recommend last official build) & after that install Gapps.
You are done with installing.
Lett it boot for a first time (which takes some time), do a initial required setup & after that go to options about the phone & tap on revision number until you enable developer options, then go into developer options & enable root access (to regain it) for apps & ADB.
& there you go. I leave future installing & adjusting what ever you want to your preferred choice.

Rooting Question

Hello all,
This may seem like a stupid question, but I want to make sure that I know what i'm doing before I mess something up and become
So I'm running a Samsung Galaxy S5 (G900V ovbiously), and it has the tobisha emmc chip
Is the only way to gain root on Marshmallow/Nougat or whatever is by reverting to Lollipop, gaining root access, installing TWRP, and then flashing LineageOS/some ROM?
Directions For Users With CID 11 Toshiba eMMC
1. Download EMMC_11_ Root S5_QB2_PB1.zip
2. Unzip
Copy the following to your External SD card:
Root S5 Folder,
EMMC_11_PB1_5_0_1_LL_Firmware_Bootloader.zip, EMMC_11_QA1_6_0_1_MM_Firmware_Bootloaders.zip,
and the TouchWiz ROM you want to install.
3. Reboot Phone to Download Mode (Pwr +Vol Dwn+Home)
4. Use Odin 3.12 and load the COMBINATION_VZW_FA44_G900VVRU2APA1_VZW2APA1_257265 6_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 in the AP Slot
5. Flash and let the phone reboot. It will reboot to recovery and finish install then it will reboot and take about 20 seconds to boot.
6. If you do not have an External SD Card, copy the following NOW to your Internal Storage:
Root S5 Folder,
EMMC_11_PB1_5_0_1_LL_Firmware_Bootloader.zip, EMMC_11_QA1_6_0_1_MM_Firmware_Bootloaders.zip,
and whatever TouchWiz ROM you want to install.
7. Use the File Manager in the app drawer of the phone and install Apex_Lancher.apk press home button and set Apex as the default launcher.
Install Superuser.apk, Busybox.apk and SafeStrapKK.apk do not open anything yet.
8. Now Install tr_v2.apk.
Open TowelRoot and CLICK MAKE IT RAIN . It should tell you you have succeeded.
9. Now Open Superuser app and click "New User" to install it.
Once done, open SuperSU and update the SU binaries using the "NORMAL" method. It will tell you you need to reboot. You can skip doing this. (If the Superuser install hangs for more than 5 minutes reboot phone and try to install it again.)
10. Now open the BusyBox app, grant SuperSU access and install BusyBox.
11. Now open SafeStrap, grant SuperSu access and click "install recovery". If the SafeStrap recovery fails to install, make sure BusyBox is installed by rerunning the BusyBox app (it will tell you if BusyBox is installed) if not click "install" again, reboot phone and open SafeStrap and try to install recovery again
12. Once SafeStrap Recovery is installed click "reboot to SafeStrap Recovery".
13. Once in SafeStrap Recovery, choose what firmware you want to be on:
Lollipop 5.0 Firmware=EMMC_11_PB1_5_0_1_LL_Firmware_Bootloader.zip
Marsmhallow 6.0 Firmware=EMMC_11_QA1_6_0_1_MM_Firmware_Bootloaders.zip
14. Install the firmware zip, and then flash a TouchWiz Lollipop ROM. (Here is the latest stock rooted Lollipop Rom: VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V9.zip). You may want to download a copy of the latest SuperSu zip, and flash if installing a Lollipop ROM that is not rooted. Remember, you cannot root Marshmallow ROMs, so do not try and flash the SuperSu zip on a Marshmallow Rom (you will softbrick if you do).
15. After you install any Lollipop ROM, you may need to reinstall SafeStrap Recovery. Most of the time you don't have to and SafeStrap can be reached by flashing the KitKat Kernel in Download Mode with ODIN. But, in some cases, when flashing a ROM that flashes a system.img instead of a system folder, you may lose SafeStrap during install. This will be the case if you install the above ROM. You can reinstall it after the ROM is booted up. A Safestrap-G900V-4.04_LL_MM.apk is included that will flash a version of SafeStrap that will allow you to reboot to SafeStrap Recovery without flashing a KitKat kernel in Odin. Install BusyBox again from the BusyBox App in the RootS5 Folder. Install Safestrap-G900V-4.04_LL_MM.apk and make sure to grant SuperSU access. It may take a few seconds to prompt. If SafeStrap is not installed, click "Install Recovery". If Safestrap is still installed click on "Uninstall Recovery", close the app, and reopen it. It should say recovery is not installed. Now click on "Install Recovery". If this doesn't work, reboot the phone and try again. Once installed, you can just click reboot to SafeStrap from the SafeStrap app and you will reboot straight to SafeStrap. Remember to flash the appropriate Kernel when leaving SafeStrap!
Download and place these on your device:
LL_KERNEL_SS-FF_Flashable.zip, and
MM_KERNEL_SS-FF_Flashable.zip
If something bad goes wrong you can usually get back to SafeStrap by simply rebooting the phone to Download Mode and flashing NI2_stock_kernel.tar.md5. When the phone reboots, watch for the SafeStrap splash screen and enter SafeStrap.
16. Do NOT change ANY boot options in SafeStrap. ROM slots cannot be used, so you must flash to the Stock ROM slot EVERY TIME OR YOU WILL SOFTBRICK. Some functions don't work in SafeStrap, like choosing an image file to flash directly. All image files must be flashed via zip file.
