Hey guys, I've got a quick question I'm hoping has a quick anwser. I'm on a Samsung galaxy s5 with verizon, I've rooted by jkruse's very nice root method, I've installed busy box, installed safestrap and all of that. When I go to update my binary in super su it always tells me it failed. Any suggestions? I've rebooted several times and I'm sure there might be a post on the site just couldn't locate it. Thanks for your time
Only method I've found to fix that, is to uninstall SuperSU, and root again from scratch
Might be other methods, but none that I know of

Hi, Everyone
First of all, I'm new to rooting and this is the first time I've ever tried this. I rooted my G2 and everything seemed to go fine but when I run adb shell and check for su it says su not found. I checked my phone and superuser is actually installed but it says not found when i check for it. I tried rooting again and the process failed because it said superuser was already found on my phone. I can't tell if my phone was successfully rooted or not and this is all very confusing. Can anyone help me with this?
try towelroot
what model? 4.4.2? used IOroot25?
Hi I need serious help with rooting my phone.
2 weeks ago, samsung released a firmware update for the galaxy s4. The new firmware is called "KOT49H.I9505ZHUFNK2", which i believe is only available for hong kong galaxy s4 after doing a bit of research online. (My phone was bought in hong kong) I did the firmware update as I saw that it was nothing major and the phone would still be on Android 4.4.2. Little did I realize, this new update would not let me use towelroot anymore. Before the update I was able to use towelroot to root the phone. However the new firmware update made towelroot unsupport the phone. Now I cant figure out a method to root my phone
The reason why I need to root the phone is because there seems to be a problem with connecting to the playstore. Everytime I try to log in, a message that says "cannot make reliable connection with..." appears. It seems that in order to fix this problem I would have to root and fix the host file in my phone. I tried a factory reset (power +volume up method) and still does not work.
Someone help me pls?
Sorry for the long post, just trying to give as much detail of my current situation.
bump. someone help me please?
Also need help
I have the same HK variant of the i9505 with the same build number. All root methods seem to fail and an incomplete superSU shows "there is no SU binary installed, and superSU cannot install it. This is a problem!" Please help..i'm just an amateur programmer and can use some guidance. The cost of this phone was 300 dollars...cost to my sanity, immeasurable and now can't gain root access for full functionality of the device...

I can install twrp but it is no use flashing the SU. I tried flashing SU, SU update, Adam kernel. I am wondering is the problem because CM security detects "Broad Anywhere" and "towel root" and then these two are deleted that that's why the root is never completed? SU is installed, just no binary, updates from google play any 1mobile market do not work. BusyBox detects an error while opening the "shell". I'm trying to explore other possibilities...also updated to new firmware NL1 build released Dec 05, 2014. Will keep trying.
have you tested srsroot ?
Warning : I do not know this software but a google search "KOT49H.I9505ZHUFNK2" find it recently.
i tried srsroot, kingoroot, manually odin flash but none work.. at this point i might go to a root service provider somewhere around here (guangzhou, china) and inspect the software they use to test for any exploits before the rooting process (if they let me), or not agree to it....for $10 very well worth it..another alternative is to stick with non-root...after flashing the new firmware NL1 (December 5 2014 build) antutu x benchmark increased 4000 points to 28k and cpu identifier (bartoloni) increased 10k points to 37k....for now the device seems quite good...
Hey Guys, I'm brand new to these forums, and to this whole community so bare with me.
Basically I bought my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S5 phone around the time it came out, and I also had installed root on it via towelroot when Towel Root was first released. I did not update the phone at all for a long period of time and everything was working fine, until one day I was browsing under settings and accidentally tapped the "Software Update" button, then T-mobile auto-pushed an update onto my phone.
This update has caused the root on my phone to not work at all (Deemed useless) So I clicked SU and only a black screen popped up when I tried to open the app, so I uninstalled it, reinstalled it then got a message saying "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU Cannot install it. If you just upgraded to Android 4.3 you need to manually re-root your device" So I tried to re-root via towelroot method again. It seems the T-mobile update made my phone "Unsupported/Uncompatible" with TowelRoot's obsolete techniques, so now I'm in dire need of help.
My phone tried to push another t-mobile update (This time to upgrade to Lollipop) but it failed after attempting to install it after a reboot. So not only will my phone not update to Lollipop, but I'm not even rooted anymore and am unsure on how to get back rooted, or what to do next since I used rooting as a primary source to store apps on my SD Card. Kind of like i'm stuck in one spot? (Can't update your phone/can't root it the old method)
I'm brand new guys, Please can you break down to me what I should do, in order to obtain root again, and possibly be able to upgrade to Lollipop As well as prevent further pushed T-mobile updates? Here's some info if you need it
S5 Model Number: SM-G900T
Android Version:4.4.2
Kernel Version:3.4.0-262.. etc. (Tell me if you need the full kernel details)
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank YOU!
Flash this with ODIN

(Will trip KNOX and void warranty)
Or flash a pre-June 2014 KK Kernel, root with Towelroot again, then flash back your current Kernel
Is this the only solution? And also is it the right one? o.o
Can anyone else please give me some feedback on the situation? I want to make sure I do this right, please just a little helps.

Hey I did exactly what you said and it worked I got root back, but I was wondering how to flash back to my current kernel and keep Root?
Hi everyone guys, my nickname is AndresPiggy but you cal call me just Piggy as my friends!! :cyclops:
My problem is this:
I used to have my phone perfectly rooted with chainsfire(SuperSU)!! But... A time ago, I installed KingRoot accidentally and the apk started to install the root, after the root instalation failed, the Superuser(Apk from KingRoot) of KingRoot was there in my phone installed and that ruined the root on my phone, I tried to eliminate it but I can not, then, the SuperSU started having problems manage the aplications that need root access, after that I verify my root in my root checker and it said "Sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device".
"Root Checker App" : i66.tinypic.com/2re79n9.png
All these after I installed accidentally the KingRoot... After all this mess, I made a reset factory, but saddly, the Superuser was still there, and the SuperSU too. Now I dont know what to do I and searching help from you guys. :crying:
Searching more information from another apps I saw this:
"Simply Unroot App": i66.tinypic.com/ht5khv.jpg
"Unroot My Phone App": i68.tinypic.com/10ng7sp.jpg
"Superuser App" By ChainsDD: i63.tinypic.com/25gqc1w.png
I hope those pics help :good: Now I have the Kingo SuperUser deactivate it, and thats another thing, when I wanna install the bin of SuperSu, its failed, I tried by teh 2 ways and failed.
What Can I Do?
Hi Piggy! (As your friends call you)
The only thing I could think of in this case is to flash the stock firmware again. (Will cause a full wipe of the device though, so make sure you back up your stuff!). Unless your problem is solved by now of course.
-RFB
Just like @RealFreddyBananas said. Flash a new stock firmware via odin. Then you can root your device again.
SOLUTION: Disable secure startup, found in Settings > Lock screen and security
I have a G935V Verizon GS7e. I rooted it using root.bat from SuperSU-v2.74-2-S7QC that multiple guides seem to call for (after flashing whatever it was, I don't remember what guide it was). I already had PF2 firmware when I started.
The guide I used didn't say not to update SU binary, and nothing works with root, and it wanted to (only "needs to be updated" -- it wasn't saying it wasn't installed at all, so that's good), so I tried several times and it failed. I re-did root.bat in case that caused any issues.
Root Checker by Super User says I'm rooted and SU binary is present.
Root Check by JRummy Apps says I'm not.
and I can't run anything as root (FlashFire, Build Prop editor from JRummy).
What should I do? What's going on? I did notice my phone got a little laggier
Also, the VoLTE icon(s) appear at the top now, and they didn't used to before.
