Did you give these apps root access with supersu?

Is is supposed to prompot for root access as it is set on Supersu, but it only says the system deny to root(gamecih2)(other apps kind of the same).
Supersu it is on default settings, and when open check root and click verify root it says it's root(no prompot for root access).

You can install the app Root Checker. When it says your decide isn't rooted, then try to do it again with odin

[Q] Not booting into CWM

Hi,
I have a Galaxy S4 GT-I9505. I want to make a nandroid backup.
I installed Rom Manager via the Play Store, and I clicked on; Install CWM.
After installing CWM I pressed on the firmware backup button.
My phone rebooted and showed blue letters: Booting Recovery. But I came into the default recovery from Android, not into CWM.
Why can't I access CWM? Rom Manager said it's installed.
Regards,
Michael
Maybe,you need to install a different kernel.

I have stock ROM from Samsung, rooted with Kingo Android ROOT.
Rom Manager said CWM is installed, how to un-install it if it doesn't work?

Using Kingo method you wont be able to flash custom rom/recovery. Root your phone by flashing CF-Auto root via Odin n then you can install CWM. Knox will be triggered.

Thanks for your answer. Do I need to un-root Kingo first, or does Odin overwrite it when I use CF-auto root?
And what will happen with my apps when I un-root kingo? (I have a few apps that require root).

Yes you have to unroot.You can do this from the Superuser app by clicking unroot. Cf auto root works best if the phone is reset to factory settings as this may prevent flashing errors of Odin. For your apps which require root , you have to back up them for future use as reset will wipe them. Hit thnx if helpd.

Problem with root/ supersu

Hello Friends,
I just updated to 4.4.2 with Odin
then flashed CF Auto root with Odin
The result is: "There is no binary installed and SuperSU can not install it. This is a problem...".
I flashed TWRP already, but I have no idea how to update/install the binary in order to get proper root access
Can somebody help me please?

Sometimes u need root it 2 times. If u dont see the SuperSU icon later, you will have to factory reset ur phone :highfive:

Get philz touch recovery. It has an option to reroot (install su binary) option in it

I solved the problem.
I figured out that I used an older version of CF Auto Root which (I guess) contained an older version of SuperSU. I assume that this version had an outdated binary.
Downloaded CF Auto Root again, flashed it with Odin and everything is fine.
Thanks for your help, guys!

Root and disable Knox

Help me to root my Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 XXUGNH6.. I have tried all the rooting apps like: Kingroot, Iroot, Towelroot, Oneclick root etc!!
I even tried CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505 from #Odin, It also failed..
Actually I get superSu installed but while updating binaries it detect Knox and ask for to diaable when i click to disable it fails Again to disable knox I used various method downloaded superlocklite apk, Packages disabler apk, Non the app worked :'( Plz help..
Are you flashing the latest version of supersu.zip?
Yes sir!
I suggest flashing back to a completely stock 5.01 ROM, then flash TWRP, then supersu. I did this on several s4 i337m (Canadian version of the s4) running 5.01 and it always disabled knox and gave root access. I know the 9505 and i337m have the same processor.

Help me root s4 please

I've tried every recomended root without pc app for my 19505 s4 on 5.0.1. I've rooted a few phones, so i know about the settings to use, but nothing is working. Also tried knox disabler with no luck. Any ideas? Thanks.
check cf auto root

You can also flash twrp with Odin and flash supersu with twrp.
