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.

Hey all-
I'm having some serious issues with my Spica, including it shutting off during calls, randomly changing settings without me prompting it.
I had previously attempted to root it using z4root because I don't feel totally comfortable messing with Odin. The problem is that z4root changed my Kernel version in my settings to 2.6.29 root sep-57 #2
but the phone isn't actually rooted and never was. superuser wasn't installed, and apps that need root don't recognize my phone.
when i go back into z4root, there is supposed to be an unroot option, but because the phone isn't actually rooted, the only option is root, which would just attempt the process again and call it successful when it isn't.
i want to at least try getting my phone unrooted before i give up on it.
thanks for any advice.
I also forgot to add the worst problem:
My lock screen no longer activates, at all. I have no more lock on my phone.
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 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.

Just like @RealFreddyBananas said. Flash a new stock firmware via odin. Then you can root your device again.
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
Pretty much the title. I've used the newish method. Using the engineer eng_usa AP. I've used the original supersu download that floating around. And also the one that's from aole..something? I forget what it's called.. it was on page 664 or something of some verison s7 thread. No idea where it is now.. needless to say in both adb supersu commands, I get it to work, it roots. But continuously loses root after a few hours, if that. It tells me to update the binaries and the only way that I can find to fix to get root to work again, is a complete reinstall process of the original stock, then modified Ap, the adb su command. I'm so tired of this. Please, why is it losing root? I've reinstalled this b.s. so many times. The only thing I can narrow it down to is (probably nothing) the very last thing I did was change my theme and icons though the Samsung store. Why does it keep losing root? I'm using 7.0 N
