having the same issue but on the i9505. mine was on I9505XXUEMJ5. recently updated from 4.2.2 to 4.3 without any issues. Rooted with cf auto root and installed perfectly. But after reboot, superSU was not on installed and device was not rooted (verified through titanium backup and root checker). tried installing supersu through google play but says "there is no su binary installed..."
im also having trouble with recovery (recovery is not seandroid enforced) with the dead android (red triangle icon) when booting into recovery
don't know what happened. same procedure i followed before when i upgraded from 4.1 to 4.2.2 and did not encounter any issues.
i would appreciate any help. thanks.

ok, after reading and trying some things i read on the forums, i managed to 'repair' and install CWM recovery on my phone.
CWM works fine when booting to recovery but after normal boot, still no root access.
tried wiping dalvik cache, fix permissions, re-flashing supersu update (v1.65) but still after normal boot supersu still says "no su binary installed".
will try a few more ideas but if anyone can help, would greatly appreciate it.

Can't Update SU Binary on Note 3???

So I just got done rooting my Note 3 with towelroot and everything went fine. I checked to make sure it worked with "Root Checker" and it said I successfully had root access. So next step I took was to download a SuperUser app from the PlayStore, and no matter WHAT SuperUser app I use, NONE of them can update the SU Binary????? so I went and downloaded "Busybox Installer" and downloaded the latest Busybox version to my Note. Then went back to retry to update the Binary but still no progess!! I'm stuck and I really don't know what else to do! I'm not trying to install any ROM or Safestrap. Just want my phone rooted to mess around with some permissions and hacked apks. So can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong???? I've rebooted my Note COUNTLESS number of times and still SuperSU still says it fails to update the Binary! It successfully disable KNOX tho. So what can I do so that I can use my root to my full potential and update the SU Binary???

I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that its just a problem with towelroot.. And that same thing happened to me on my note 3. I'm pretty sure what I did was download safestrap (you can I install it after) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517610 and flash this (chainfires supersu +binary) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517610
If that doesn't work just either pm me or comment that it didn't and I'll see if I can find another way! And you can always uninstall safestrap once you flashed the package (don't forget to clear cache and dalvic)

clarify your Super user app from google play is 1.99r4 ....you should check THIS thread for latest SuperSu app (2.00)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
keep in mind Vzw recovery is locked, you cannot flash files on stock rom.
SS will relieve big headaches....so install it.
check upload... you get one free today
:good:

Once rooted with towelroot, I uninstalled the towelroot app. After the next reboot, SuperSU was not complaining anymore for me.

Thanks for all the help! Got it up and running in no time!

I put Safe strap on and installed it, then updated the SU Binary through custom recovery via SafeStrap.

Download the flashable zip of supersu. Then instead of flashing, go to the Commons folder inside it and extract the apk. Install it and then run it from app drawer.

This just prompts SU binary update and fails.
I managed to download safestrap and have the su zip in my downloads, but dont knwo where to go from here.
I also don't use anything but stock ROM, won't I trip KNOX by flashing my stock?
First time rooting so I probably shouldn't play around with things alone. Thanks

Still not downloading the binary. Now I can't even uninstall it through drawer, did the flash make it a system app?
I think I should've uninstalled it before the flash.

It might've, sorry but I'm not clear on what I did..(I think I just flashed a rom) Just go to system/app and see if it's there. Delete it and reflash.

Replacing KingUser with SuperSU

Hi all, I just want to share this. Regarding to Kinguser cant be replace by SuperSU, I just solve this issue. But, I want to make it clear,
I FOUND THIS METHOD ACCIDENTALLY(by experimenting).
I just got Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos I9082, with home button not functioning. So I cant root it by custom recovery, which made me use Iroot(known as Vroot), 1 click rooting app. It will root using Kinguser binary. Which will give problem to replace it with SuperSU. Then install busybox.
So I reroot my phone using KingO root which will install SuperSU v2.02. I guest this is the point where SuperSU bin get hook in device(I tried installing various ver of SuperSU without success,"Installing Failed". And KingUser give perm to SuperSU using KingO root method.
So I go into SuperSU, install as system, reboot, install custom recovery, install SuperSU.zip thru recovery, reboot, uninstall KingUser(it will warn this will unroot your device back to normal, i just ignore and proceed), and this will erase SuperSU app too, but I guest it leave the binary installed. And again I reinstall SuperSu in normal way, with success.
And again, I'm not telling the best solution, just want to share what I've done. Hope this will help someone.
Good Day

I try to replace King User with the Terminal Emulator Method, and King User gone, but it unroot mi device
I have a Samsung i8200L.
After, I re-root my device (now with Kingo Root, thanks for mention it in your thread), and everything is ok, with SuperSU

Easiest method that worked for me!
Use es file explorer
change permision to /system/bin to rw, tick all
run updated supersu, it will ask to update su binary, use the normal option
Kinguser will ask permission from SuperSu, DENY!
Then you can successfully remove kinguser

I'm assuming you used SSU 2.49? As Chainfire said, he made this mostly for lollipop comparability, also for Kinguser replacements issues.
And thanks for sharing the workaround you've figured.:thumbup:

Hope this will work
Worked on Galaxy S3 NEO ( GT-I9300I ) Android 4.4.4
The Steps that worked for me are as follows:
Start from HERE
1. Same steps untill SuperSu installed
2. When SuperSu launched itself (or you can launch it manually ) , it
will ask to update SU Binary, Click Normal.
3. Wait until SuperSu says other user management app detected (in my
case) and will ask you to remove it. Click cancel ( very important ).
4. When you Click Cancel, it will say Binary updated Successfully. And
will ask you to Reboot or OK. Click OK ( very important ) and not to
Reboot.
5. Now SuperSu will open normally but KingUser app will still be present
( in my case).
6. Now go to Settings in SuperSu App and Go to Clean Up options and
there you will find an option to remove other User Managemnt apps, just
click the option and Boom SuperSu will remove it completely from your
System.
Hope this will work for someone else also.
2nd Method:
Just simply install SuperSu from Play Store and follow the above steps
from Number 2 onwards. (Confirm if it works for you)

Ya if u have twrp factory reset will fail from setting I belive but u can factory reset from twrp or u can odin stock and start over cf auto root shouldn't mess with anything. What I do is flash stock with odin then twrp with odin then upgrade twrp by flashing the latest Img with twrp then I flash a custom rom wich comes rooted.

Permanent Root?

After installing the lollipop update I lost the rooting to the phone.
I rooted my phone again but to be sure for the next time,is there a way to root Lenovo a6000 plus permanently?

When u flash new rom, you have to root again, no way for permanent exept root option include in the rom

You wanted to root again hah? Flash SuperSU.zip (based on my knowledge stock LL cannot/hard to root withe root.apk like kingroot. So, i think the latest tricks is flash the supersu.zip) but still... if you are Advanced User if not dont trying it

Dude sometimes root doesn't install properly i don't know why... I am on stock with 1.4Ghz oc kernel... Thing happens to me is that whenever i reboot my phone. Root stops working and says su binary needs to be updated.. I just have reinstall again and again to keep it working after boot.. So do u have any to solve it?

For me root still work even on reboot. To root my phone, i flashed SuperSU.zip with custom recovery twrp. How about you? Did you using same thing like me or by apps like KingRoot.apk?

Yup obviously.. By SU... I never use kingroot... Well i know it shouldn't have happened... Btw fresh rom install will solve it.. But i don't wanna do that.. Setting up phone again and again suks.. I just asked it because i thought if you might have had this problem! Thanks btw

To clear things up. Think of root as a system module (binary) ("su" module located in "xbin"). Each time you install a new OS, core partitions need to be formated (/cache, /data, and ofc /system). If the SuperUser module is not pre-installed in the new firmware you are flashing, it can be additionally obtained through Chainfire's installation zip. Nearly all custom ROMs have it and will work just fine, with some needing user input to activate it (Settings > Dev Settings > Root Access). While stock ROMs will NEVER have root capabilities pre-loaded.
So, all in all:
No, there is no such thing and will never be, as permanent root. Everything is being overwritten all the time.
Rooting and re-rooting the A6000 is safe and easy.
