I recently rooted my Verizon note3 using towel root checked with root check to verify proper root and it does. Installed SuperSU and installed like it should but when I go into settings within SuperSU it says installation failed even though it does grant superuser permissions. I'm still learning so if it does grant superuser privileges then why the notice about installation failed? Should I try another SuperSU program? Experts I'm waiting for advice. Thanks. Jesse

Did you restart anytime during that? Happened to me, rebooted and its fine
Yes I did reboot but didn't change the message

Actually everything that I have added that required give giving it permission for access has worked flawlessly so I'm not sure that that message interferes with anything but I would like to be sure.

Last night I installed SuperSU on my Nexus.. it's awesome but I'm having issues with some apps. Though 98% of them are still recognized from before I installed SuperSU couple are now not compatible.
Anyone else run into this issue?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
What does not compatible mean. SuperSu doesn't recognize some app's or won't grant them 'root'? Are the app's in SuperSu but won't complete root actions?
Iffn it was me I would tell SuperSu to forget all app's. Then wipe data in manage app's in setting. Then uninstall and reinstall SuperSu. Of course you will lose your 'remembered' app's but I can't see that being a very big deal.

I'm not trying to root this app, I had it installed on my tablet prior to SuperSU but now it says "your device is not compatible with this version"
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I was using device perfectly till today. I've installed nocturnal kit lastly. Don't know if it's related to this or not but it seems i've lost my root access. Now I can't use CM file manager which was working well and can't edit any app's settings in paranoidandroid. Both need root access. It keeps saying "couldn't get privileges" So is it possible to lose root by installing apps, mods or any software issues?
Not likely. Just go to your superuser app and make sure root access is being given.

checked su app and all root needed apps are seems to have access but they don't work I'm gonna wipe and reflash I think.
Try wiping cache for superuser. And you can try switching to superSU, it's better than the original.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
get the supersu app from the market, free. install it, open it, then press yes when it asks you to update your su binaries. supersu works well for jelly bean, superuser is hit and miss.

Tried that too. Also wiped cache & dalvik and didn't work.
I hope someone can help me.
After my KF HD 7" running 7.2.3 updated itself to 7.3.0 i lost my root but I have now rooted it using v27 binary and qemu root as the guide on here shows. Everything worked perfect and i can use blackmart alpha again. But when I click on SuperSU I get the message The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue? I press continue and get the option to use normal or custom recovery so I press normal. Then after a minute or so i get the error installation failed!
I have searched for a solution but nothing is the same as my issue on this device.
I have SuperSU installed and superuser (when I try and open this I get superuser has stopped)
I have tried uninstalling SuperSU and re-installing it but still the same!
I can still install apps by downloading them on blackmart alpha then using ES explorer to install them. Where before blackmart used to do it itself.
Are you sure you aren't updated to 7.3.1 and have lost root
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
No, definitely 7.3.0 in the about section of the device
In fact your are right! I've just had a look and its running 7.3.1, so I'll root it again. Thanks

Problem for you over here
Has anyone tried this method? SuperSU has a full unroot option in its settings. I have read many posts saying it is impossible to unroot at this time.
I did a little searching around and didn't find much. Just suggestions to try it and no one ever reported back if it works or doesn't.
I personally don't have the OTA and have a custom ROM, but i would like to know any confirmation of it working or not working by anyone that has tried it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I did the ota to mf3 and successfully rooted it I then realized that I had like 6gbs missing so in an effort to restore I went into the SU settings and chose the remove root option and it seemed to work I checked with root checker and I no longer had root access I still was unable to restore it just bumps me into Odin mode and I have to boot power+home+volume- then cancel to reboot my phone into working order
But as far as I can tell I have no root
Since I can't restore and try and clear up my missing storage I wanted to take it in and try and get a new one under warranty but I'm afraid to use triangle away so I'm just gonna wait it out until we get a mf3 restore firmware for Odin since my phone works fine for now
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
So that is 1 confirmation for an unroot. Basically hit unroot, it sends the phone to bootloop. Remove battery, put it back, then boot to download mode with power+volume down, then hit volume down again to cancel and reboot to a fully functional phone with no root. If that doesn't work, use power+home+volume down. Anyone else?
Btw,
Don't use triangle away. It flashes a temporary recovery to reset the binary. It will brick you or just fail.

I fully un-rooted using the method in my post here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44495559 . For me, it just threw the custom-lock icon boot up screen and showed "Custom" status in the "About Phone" menu when using the SuperSU's un-root method.
The problem was busy box. The MF3 root scripts install Busybox files into the /xbin directory, but SuperSU's "full unroot" doesn't touch Busybox's files. Not even any Busybox apps can remove those files.
So delete the busybox files first, then unroot. That is 2 confirmed unroots.

this may be a stupid question, but if you went through the trouble of rooting after the mf3 update.. why would you want to unroot?
Warranty replacement in case of a hardware issue, testing purposes, also, some people only want a temp root to remove bloat. After that, they don't want root anymore.

So to summarize the steps from what I've read on rooting & unrooting MF3:
Root:
Use this guide by jortex: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387577&highlight=mf3
Unroot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44495559&postcount=39
1. Re-root again using the same method you did before for MF3, then:
--a) Reboot, update SuperSU app and it's binary
--b) Reboot again, verify device status is back to"Official"
--c) Reboot again, verifying that, this time, the boot screen is back to normal again
2. Download a file manager app in the Play Store called "Total Commander" and enable "Root functions everywhere" in its settings.
3. Navigate to a folder called "/system/xbin"
4. Delete ONLY files in that folder with the word "busybox" within its filename or symlink path. You should end up with three files left. I did. Two of them are SuperSU related. DO NOT DELETE ANY OF THEM!
5.Open SuperSU and, in its settings, select the "Full un-root" option. Once SuperSU closes, reboot.

Follow step 1 if not rooted or messed up somewhere during unrooting process.
Just double checking step 2: We can use es file explorer with root explorer option as well correct?
Also I noticed superSU got updated today:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
05.09.2013 - v1.60
- Added SELinux+Enforcing compatibility (for new SGS4 ROMs)
- Fixed (newest) CWM versions asking you question that break root if answered wrongly
- Fixed issue with the TWRP/CWM binary installer
- Fixed 4.3 OTA survival looping

Does the new update have something to do with our mf3 baseband like SELinux?

This worked for me! But I skipped all the steps in the beginning. They sounded useless to me. Rerouting to unroot? Hah
I deleted all busybox files and was left with 3 files then went to SuperSU and did the full unroot and restart.
I check with root checker and installed SuperSU as well. Root checker said I have no root and SuperSU fails. Status is official.
Going to restart a few times to be sure.

I was able to unlock as well. However my phone stopped showing the custom unlocked symbol at bootup a few days ago (before doing this) and I am at a loss as to why. So I am not sure I can count as a real confirmation.
I did your unroot process, root checker confirms I no longer have root and the unlock symbol has not come back.
Stay tuned guys. Getting everything ready to quickly make a more organized how to.

It's very simple, just download TowelRoot, SafeStrap and SuperUser. Install TowerRoot, hit root then wait for the device to reboot. Then install SU, open it and hit update binaries (normal method) and then install SS, grant it SU permisions and hit install recovery.

It's best to place the backups on an external SDcard, that way if something happens and you need to flash a tar file in odin the backup is safe.
I'm glad you got it rooted, enjoy.
