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.

I recently got a new phone - LG L Fino (D290) - after some time I googled how to root it and found the PurpleDrake method. People said that it works and it saved their lives.
I tried it - PD said that everything was successful.. so I installed SuperSU and can't get it to update binaries, all I get is an alert that says "Installation failed"
There is no CWM nor TWRP recovery compatible with my phone.
Even after hard-resetting the phone I have the same trouble
Can anyone help?
I changed SuperSU to Superuser. When I try to update binaries on this one, it fails on downloading the manifest file.
Seriously, I need help...
Well firts of all sorry if my english is bad. I root the phone with purpledrake method and it was completely succesful. Then i went to Google Play and i downloaded this apphttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu Open it, click in update, normal and thats all. You will have supersu and your phone rooted. (If you have reset the phone try to do the purpledrake method again and then download the app)
Im guessing this is a unique problem with your device. Try reflashing a stock KDZ and trying again.
Hi,
Sorry for the late reply. I found a really nice way to root the L FINO with no issues.
Get Kingo root app, It's an installer. It will install root and a SuperUser which is Kingo SuperUser or Something like that.
If you need screenshots, I'm here !
FIrst of all I followed the steps mentioned here: www . thetechnotriad . com /326/how-to-root-yu-yureka/
All the steps worked flawlessy, and I have the superSU app installed too but when i check root checker app , it says the phone is not rooted,
and I am not able to uninstall any pre installed apps or stop auto starting apps, there is no root request going to superSU
Also I am not able to uninstall Super SU app.
Please help

Try restoring YU by flashing factory images. It may help as u have to start rooting from scratch
yes it worked as mentioned earlier restored old OEM rom
Hello!
I have spent around 5-6 hours tonight fixing my phone. Before it had CM13 working just fine but my recovery didn't work (got an error when trying to enter recovery). I manged to solve that problem by doing lots of things I have already forgotten about now and to be honest I didn't really have any idea what I was doing as I am very new to this and have no knowledge about it.
Right now my CM13 works just fine. No problems booting. My recovery works just fine. I have CAF bootstack and the latest TWRP recovery that was mentioned in the guide. However, my SuperSU doesn't want to work properly. At first, I had to download the SuperSu app from Play Store. I don't know if that's how it is supposed to be. When I start the app it says "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?". I press Continue and it says "If you have a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM, that can be used to (try to) install the SU binary. This is recommended for HTC devices. How would you like to install the SU binary?". I have two options: "NORMAL" and "TWRP/CWM". If I press "NORMAL" it proceeds to installing and the circle is spinning and spinning... "Installing, please wait..." After about 30 seconds it says "Installation failed! Please reboot and try again". Rebooting and trying again doesn't help. If I try the TWRP/CWM option it reboots me into TWRP Recovery but nothing happens there. If I reboot system from recovery the problem remains. I googled a bit and found some thread where they said I needed to download some SuperSU zip-file and install it from recovery. I did that but that just broke it even more giving me some error saying SuperSu wasn't installed at all, or something like that. I ended up re-rooting the device and installing bootstack, CM, and GAPPS again.
I have enabled root access in the CM developer options menu, for both apps and ADB. I have downloaded Root Checker and it says i am rooted. In download mode it also says rooted.
Is there some step I have missed? Please help me. I just want CM13, Recovery, and SuperSU to all be working at the same time. Not just pick two, like I have done before.
I had the same problem on my d802. That thing you did in development settings worked for me. Is supersu so neccesary?
EDIT: This can be marked as resolved -- I used ADB to succesfully send a reboot recovery command to the phone and it worked!
Hope I don't run into any more issues down the road.

Hi guys
In short, my LG D802 International model has lost it's ability to enter DL mode, and the recovery is also missing.
It is now running Stock Lollipop (Custom version) which I installed according to instructions with no problem
However once it was installed I then realized TWRP is no longer accessible. My next step was to then go to the Play Store and download Autorec Lollipop for LG G2 D802
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=b007.autorec2&hl=en
Once that was installed I tried to install the recovery, but the app was unresponsive. The author of the app then mentioned ->If you experience unresponsive button (the button flash doesn´t work) look up this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65698392&postcount=797
I went ahead to uninstall SuperSU using it's full cleanup and remove function. BIIIG mistake!
That's where the problems compounded, because now SuperSU is not even working and won't let me install the SU Binaries, and the app is telling me to search forums for help
Basically: No TWRP -- No Download Mode -- No Root -- Cannot install SuperSU either!
I'm now stuck with a very unstable phone that hangs and crashes every 10 minutes. I have tried to factory reset but to no avail -- I still cannot use SuperSU.
Thanks in advance
