Supersu is installed

Did you give these apps root access with supersu?

Is is supposed to prompot for root access as it is set on Supersu, but it only says the system deny to root(gamecih2)(other apps kind of the same).
Supersu it is on default settings, and when open check root and click verify root it says it's root(no prompot for root access).

You can install the app Root Checker. When it says your decide isn't rooted, then try to do it again with odin

Use the philz method..
•Flash philz recovery
•Run the denox script
•Root it from there using supersu
•Update supersu binaries after turning your phone on
This is the safest known method which might know play with your wifi and other stuff.
And if you want to use CF-Autoroot
Go to Chainfire's thread and download your model number's root package.
Press Thanks if I helped

I got you sir.
Try the philz method or TOWELROOT from here
Towelroot.com
CF Autoroot fails if you have not downloaded your phone's required package..
Plus if it a screen is coming like recover via KIES...flash your official firmware and try rooting with the desired package...
You shall get your root access...

Help me to root my Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 XXUGNH6.. I have tried all the rooting apps like: Kingroot, Iroot, Towelroot, Oneclick root etc!!

Actually I get superSu installed but while updating binaries it detect Knox and ask for to diaable when i click to disable it fails Again to disable knox I used various method downloaded superlocklite apk, Packages disabler apk, Non the app worked :'( Plz help..

Are you flashing the latest version of supersu.zip?

Yes sir!

I suggest flashing back to a completely stock 5.01 ROM, then flash TWRP, then supersu. I did this on several s4 i337m (Canadian version of the s4) running 5.01 and it always disabled knox and gave root access. I know the 9505 and i337m have the same processor.

CF autorrot fails to root G900F

Greetings.
So i am using my sgs5 wit android 6.0.1 for a while and i was able to root it with CF autoroot. Yesterday my phone just restarted itself and i just discovered that i lost root. I re downloaded the autoroot for 6.0.1 and odin 3.07 but after the second restart i still have no root. I tried reflashing and watched what the script is writing out. It says that the device is patched but i dont know what it means.
Have someone any idea what is preventing the root?
Thanks in advance for the help .

Flashing cf auto root for sm-g900i with different firmware

please help,its been a while since i rooted a phone as my sgs4 lasted for years and i am a bit unsure and feel a bit noobish.
can i use cf auto root version MMB29M.G900IDVU1CPG2,whilst i am on firmware G900IDVU1CPL1.
device type is the same klte and product name is the same kltedv.
also csc code SM-G900IZWAVAU.
build no. MMB29M.G900IDVU1CPL1.
please advise and many thanks in advance

I would try it personally cf auto root flashes a stock recovery and cache partition with some changes to help you root the phone it should work but if you are worried flash the exact firmware the cf auto root file is made for

Tried twrp and su sr3. Device rooted :good:
