I tried a couple of root apps, they didn't work. F***. Adaway and Music2SD. Both tell me that my rooted S4 isn't rooted. I have prerooted MF9, flashed via TWRP. It included SuperSU, with 1.1.3 binary (I think). Okay, after no search results I decided to do something on my own.
First, I opened SuperSU and told it to install itself as a system app. Then, I installed ChainsDD Superuser. That's when I found out my binary was out of date. I chose to update it via Superuser. For some reason or another, it said it didn't update. I went to app manager, cleared data and uninstalled updates for SuperSU. I updated it in the play store and opened it. Then, it told me my binary was out of date - woo! Wait.. normal method didn't work - "Installation Failed!" Okay, try TWRP/CWM method. It rebooted into recovery, flashed some stuff before I could read it, and restarted. Booted right back up. I opened Superuser and it said I was on v0. Went to ChainsDD's site and downloaded the 3.1.3 ARM to flash in recovery. I did that, still nothing. Now SuperSU and Superuser are permanently installed apps (I now have no root to delete them). Whatever. I ran CF-Auto-Root in Odin. After that, both SuperSU and Superuser were removed. I have nothing now.
My question is, what's the best way to get the latest binary on MF9? If i restore from Nandroid, how should I update? If I start from scratch, what binary will I get from CF-Auto-Root?
UPDATE: I'm back to rooted, with SuperSU. I got the update binary notice and chose the normal method. It updated just fine, but I still can't use Adaway or Music2SD. Superuser by ChainsDD still shows v0.. all of my normal apps have root access just fine.
FIX!: My ignorance is to blame here - XPrivacy blocks root access by default on Adaway and Music2SD... I didn't realize it did that!
I updated JDCTeam's optimized CM12.1, and that newest update messed with my phone. Factory reset (using TWRP), installed the rom i had before the update, as well as opengapps and SuperSU, and now when I try to download GPlay apps it's stopping at somewhere about 75% for every app I download.
On top of that my phone keeps freezing in the gplay store (can't do anything, need to pull battery)

FIXED! I had installed opengapps Aroma and I guess I had an old version or something, I downloaded gapps nano, wiped, reinstalled the rom and gapps and it works great. No superSU this time, so that might be the cause but I've never had supersu mess up on me so..
i installed an old version of supersu (1.94) and that was the issue, installed 2.52 and everything is fine

supersu is completely unrelated to the problem you were having.

Yeah, I'm not the most knowledgable about this stuff. I didn't want to completely rule out supersu so I just included that little bit
update! gapps wasn't the problem
turns out it actually was supersu, i was installing 1.94 instead of 2.52 (the first result in google is chainfire's website to the download of 1.94 with no other mention of any other versions)
it messed up gplay, my SMS and a lot more, my fault I guess. now i know i guess
So I'm currently running on Verizon S7 Edge(G935V) on the latest QA4 Nougat 7.0. Followed the older rooting procedure before and I'm stuck with SuperSU 2.76. Started playing with my phone again tonight and flashed the S7E fixes.zip in Flashfire and afterwards the IMS Service has stopped message kept popping up. To fix this I downloaded root uninstaller from the market and simply uninstalled the IMS apps. Hope this helps somebody!!
For updating your SuperSU binary from 2.76 to the latest 2.79 you must flash the zip in Flashfire as well. Afterward you must refresh the engboot in download mode for it to work properly.

Hi All,
So recently, I got another s7 edge because my original one was faulty.
-I installed the latest version of 6.0.1 (Australia) because I want to use xposed .
-I have used all the latest versions of SuperSU binaries (2.79) and it makes the phone LAG! I had to do a lot of troubleshooting to find out it was this.
-So i went back to my old files and used the CFAutoRoot and realised the binaries are 2.74 (phone started running perfectly!)
-After that, SuperSU updated in Playstore and it asked me to update the binaries again.
-I did this and it was lagging again....
-After all this, I've reverted back to the CF-Autoroot using the 2.74 binaries.. and disabled auto update in playstore.
My main question is, what do you all recommend me to do
(I want to continue using 6.0.1 for xposed)
-should i update the playstore supersu and not update binaries? the update message keeps coming up and I don't like it (i tired to unlink it from play store but can't find it in Titanium backup)
-Will there actually be a fix for it? Can I stop updates?
-Will there be future issues?
Thanks
update: I updated SuperSU from playstore and hadn't updated the binaries yet. it was lagging again. zzzzzzzz
Can anyone run Magisk 25 versions on ALE-21?
My phone can't run it. I'm using the latest stock rom based on EMUI 4.0.3 (B638) and TWRP 3.2.3.
I can install all versions till 24.3 but can't install 25.
For example: If I flashed Magisk 25.2 via TWRP and then install App version 25.2 and then tried to open the app it loads only a green background with the Magisk logo and that's all, the app is not work and if I need root for another app then every time I see a prompt for root. Even If I checked "Forever" it's not forever because Magisk doesn't work and can't remember.
If I flashed 25.2 via TWRP and tried to install an older version like 24 or 23 then Magisk uninstalls itself and I lose the root.
If I flashed 24.3 via TWRP and tried to install the 24 version or older Magisk App then it works and asks me to Update the app version to the latest 25.2. But If I updated to the latest 25.2 then again I see only a green background with the Magisk logo.
If I uninstalled Magisk root via TWRP using Uninstall.zip and then boot into Android and install App version 25.2 it opens normally but it says that I have no root, so 25.2 app work only if you have no Magisk
I think 25.x version is bugged for Huawei P8 Lite ALE-21.
Magisk 24.3 with 24.3 App works fine at the moment.
