Problem with SuperSU Lollipop 5.1 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I just installed Lollipop 5.1 and my problem is that when installing SuperSU and asks me to update the binary, I click on Normal and I get this error:
Error in installation!
Reboot and try again, please.
What do I do?

Then why don't you use recovery installation?
And second, almost every 5.1 is already pre-rooted ...

Have you changed SU too a system app? Then it's often normal that you must install over Recovery or Odin.

what rom you on ?

Have you asked over on the SuperSU thread? You're likely to get your answers there, once you provide Chainfire with a logcat.

Whether it is solved , I installed SuperSU with recovery , and it works properly.
Thanks!! :laugh: :good:

Thanks a bunch, it did. However I'm having trouble replacing the chinese SU program with SuperSU. It keeps failing when it tries to update the binary. May I ask if you had the same issue? And also, which custom recovery did you install onto yours? I see that both CWM and TWRP do not support this tab, so I'm a little stumped as to how to proceed.

..install first root checker. check if your really rooted.
....install busybox
....install SuperSu
....update binary in normal, if successful it will ask for a REBOOT
How to update
I need to update to kitkat my lenovo s5000

[Q] SuperSU gives me an error - "There is no binary installed" (Android 5.0)

[Q] SuperSU gives me an error - "There is no binary installed" (Android 5.0)
I have just updated my nexus 4 to Andorid L 5.0 and I rooted the device using CF-Autoroot.
I have the SuperSu app but I dont have access to root and when I open it, it says :
"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!
If you just upgraded to Android 5.0, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device."
I am quite tired of unlocking my bootloader over and over again.
Is there a flashable zip that can fix this problem ?
Thank you!

Download Supersu beta 2.27 zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
But you need to have a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP to flash it.

you need to flash .img file of modified kernel from chainfire. and yr .zip of supersu will work
SuperSU 2.2.7 will work but CF-Autoroot flashes a modified kernel so you need to flash a stock kernel first then install SuperSU from TWRP. You can leave you bootloader unlocked.

(REQ)Samsung A700YD android 5.0.2 root

Hi everyone,
After my A700YD upgrade to android 5.0.2, I cannot find a feasible solution to root my phone. I have tried the CF root or TWRP recovery of other A700 model but my phone stuck at samsung logo after reboot. Could anyone help me to root my A700YD? Many thanks.

I've tried to dig more in it, and what I get is
1. The only way I succeed is by using KingRoot, and the method it's using is by exploiting and keeping a daemon background and the su file for calling the daemon. So that means after reboot, root is lost.
3. Replacing KingRoot with SuperSU's su file will lead to a bootloop, same as goes to installing zip by twrp.
4. In the bootloop, logcat shows that it is repeating a particular normal boot process
5. In the bootloop, using adb shell and typing "su" will not get into root, despite su is located in xbin.
6. Busybox functions normally.
Any ideas?

Hi, I'm very interesting to this discussion, because yesterday my a700yd update to lollipop, then I root it with king root, but many app eg. leandroind not function with kingroot, so I use kingroot remove script but i'm occurred in bootloop, so I reflash original kitkat firmware but the phone does'nt work correctly, so I reflash lollipop firmware and all work perfectly. Now I would ask you if there is a functionally root method for a700yd?
Ps:when I do a wipe data in recovery mode, I have an error: E:can't mount /preload.

From my current experience, no. The sad thing is I'm not skilled enough to do it myself, and seemly there is no reason that skilled devs are willing to have a head in to this not-quite-popular device.
Btw, you need to format /system partition before you flash the kitkat(well, maybe it works maybe it don't, it's just my experience.)

Nope, it will only do that if you attempt to replace Kingroot with supersu.
If you apply supersu to a clean stock boot and system partition it shouldn't boot loop.

If you have twrp installed I will upload a modified version of SuperSU which will allow systemless root on 5.0.2.
This will patch the boot image and should prevent a bootloop.

Weird, I did format my /system, /data and /cache before pushing in stock rom and supersu...
Isn't it sufficient to remove KingRoot?
Edit:
Or did I just messed up something?

If you flashed the stock rom that should remove the Kingroot and Super su binaries.
Are you using a stock kernel?
Usually only 5.1.1 and 6.0> need a patched boot.img as Samsung don't use root protection on 5.0.2 firmware.
However never say never and Samsung may may now be using root prevention in the later 5.0.2 kernels.
This means that a patched boot image is required to circumvent Samsung's root prevention.
If you have the boot.img I can patch it manually.

Hi everyone!
I found this two files, they are recovery.img and supersu 2.46. I still haven't tested them, because recovery is in img format and it has only the Chinese language. If anyone can help me translate the recovery and convert it in tar.md5 format. I found this 2 files on a700yd chinese forum. Thanks!
Same device platform. So should be compatible.

I wiped my phone again and tried it
Here's my procedure
Wipe everything excluding external storage
reboot to bootloader and odin in stock rom
reboot to bootloader again and odin in twrp
reboot to recovery
twrp pops up patch notification(agrees and applied)
install SuperSU 2.65(stable) via sideload
reboot into system
Bootloop. ):
What does not cause bootloop
Stock ROM
TWRP installed only with stock ROM
What causes bootloop
installing SuperSU just after TWRP install (via zip or sideload)
Other problems
installing SuperSU from TWRP built-in will cause a recovery loop(unable to get past recovery screen)
=========
the recovery works good! (a good news at least)

I don't have any custom recovery installed on my phone, i can't flash what u mentioned. Kingroot also fails

[Q] Successful rooted, but /system is read only?

Hi guys, I have successfully rooted using temporary TWRP + modded magisk method, but now I gain root and checked via Root checker. But the problem is most of the root functions don't work as /system is read-only. Any idea?
Ya i have an idea.. Happened to me as well. I tried almoat everything but system won't be accessible anywhere.. I followed the same tutorial and installed magisk 13.4.
The only solution i could find was flash the latest factory image, and root again using supersu. I used the AIO tool by ghpranav and have got my phone rooted with xposed working without any issues.

Guys, this is Magisk from Pixel. You can't expect that it is working. I wrote to MagiskDevs already, they are working on a own Version for Mi A1. Use for that time normal SuperSU (Xposed works normally )
how to??

You need flash back stock boot image first, due to some limitations you can't have TWRP and SuperSU root at the same time. If you don't have the stock boot image. I suggest download the ROM from MIUI and then flash it. You can choose "flash_all_except_storage" option, this will keep your data.
http://en.miui.com/download-333.html
After flashing. Reboot back to fastboot and then:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
After that just run root.bat from the cf-auto root folder you downloaded and wait for it to automatically reboot your phone. You should have root now, if you wish you can download SuperSU from the store.

I actually tried before, and I tell you the results:
Option 1 TWRP installed + Rooted with Magisk
= Pretty much useless as /system is read-only. Every root app doesn't function, unless it is system-less. But system-less modules nearly all doesn't work as the Magisk version too old. And this method won't trip safetynet
Option 2 no TWRP + Rooted with SuperSU (cf-root method) -- Currently using this state
= Got proper root access, Xposed works but will trip safetynet
Option 3 TWRP installed + Rooted with SuperSU (cf-root method)
= Don't try this, will cause your phone stuck in boot loop

No, it will cause your phone stuck it boot loop if you try to flash the SuperSU zip directly from the official ChainFire site. I think probably is the AB partitioning problem or some sort (unsure). As I said you need to run CF-Auto root to get proper root access, otherwise flashing Magisk through TWRP will makes most of the root apps does not work properly unless it also uses system-less root function.

No if you want proper root with CF-auto root you must not have TWRP installed. You either choose TWRP + Magisk (non-working root) or no TWRP but with SuperSU (working root, Xposed works too).
