I factory reset my rooted LG optimus net l45c and when the reset was finished, super user was still there but some root apps weren't working. Whenever I went into a root app, super user granted permissions, but the app wouldn't work. There are two root apps that I use that works: Link2SD and Root file explorer I use all the root features of those apps successfully. As for all other root apps I use, they don't work (AdFree, Busybox, and various other root apps don't work.)
So I went to Superuser to check my binary and it was out of date, so I tried to update my binary but here's what I got: updating sutools_okay!
Checking current install path /system/bin/su okay!
Downloading new binary... okay!
Gaining root access fail!
I can't gain root access I tried re rooting and unroot but I got a error like this: failed to chmod file: rootutility.
BTW I used unlock root to root my android 2.3.4 lg-l45c optimus net. So is there anyway I can fix this? I am also afraid of my phone bricking if I factory reset or if I ever get an OTA update. I want to do as little bricking as possible. I really want my AdFree back.

There have been a couple similar posts, but none seem to provide any help, so I apologize for creating a new one if the answer is already out there.
With that said, I recently purchased a new LG Nitro HD and promptly used SuperOneClick to root it. Everything seemed to work fine (on the first try); I rebooted the phone, SU was there, all seemed well. The first thing I tried to use the root access for was to change the LCD Density, and that didn't work - so I tried to update the BusyBox on my phone, using "BusyBox Installer". After I did that, my root access seemed to "break", by which I mean superuser is still installed, and SuperOneClick reports my phone as rooted, but SuperUser cannot authorize apps (or doesn't even try) and attempting to run an app that requires root access simply fails, suggesting that my phone is not rooted. Typically, I would ODIN the SOB and be done with it, but I cannot find any PIT files for the Nitro HD (and I am assuming that would be necessary for me to do anything with ODIN). I've also tried using SuperOneClick to unroot and reroot the device, but now it hangs on step 7 every single time.
Does anyone out there have any suggestions at all?
I believe I fixed this issue. "Super Manager" appears to use its own busybox, which is enough to open the system directory in r/w mode and delete the busybox directory from system/xbin. This seems to have restored root access, though a lot of apps are still not working for me. Still, apps are prompting for su access and are showing up in su's list of approved apps - which is more than I could get before.
Please advise - I am seeing this as well

The new MeanROM ICS uses the new SuperUser - however, it breaks root access as you mention. Please advise the corrective action. Send PM if ncessary
Hey guys I have a very odd problem, I'm hoping to find the solution if possible.
I'm running gingerbread 2.3.3 with the latest update to build150 I attempted a one click root method for the Casio from android forums it failed to chmod on the attempts and failed. A couple of times I thought it rooted but the one click root method installed es file manager and universal unroot I installed super user( which is now a system app that I cannot remove) titanium back up fails to gain root super user fails to update the binary at gaining root permission super user has been denied permission.
So my question is even after a factory reset I still have a super user app with no root access and no way to uninstall the app I have super user app in the system with no root access so even titanium backup can't remove it does anybody have any ideas or suggestions?
Sorry if this post is confusing guys thank you again

Hi,
I have a banking app refusing to run since it thinks thatmy phone (Nexus 5 running 5.1.1) is rooted. Only problem is that it's not. Or at least i think so....
I have understood that the banking app concerned checks if the phone is rooted by checking for SU binary in system\bin and system\xbin, and fair enough, by xbin contains the SU file. I was rooted on 4.4 (or 5?) using towelroot. The bootloader has been locked all the time. I never rooted on 5.1 and above since I didnt want to wipe, and as it didnt matter much to me.
My questions are
1) Can I restore the root in some way, given that the SU binary exists without wiping the data? I tried Superuser app but naturally it failded to update the binary.
2) Can I delete the SU binary somehow without root access? At this point i only have read access to the system\xbin directory.

Every ROM has su in it, afaik.
You might have a hacked su in /system/xbin since 4.4, even though 5.x changes might have blocked that root access. Be advised that there's apps that can cloak root from apps.

So even stock ROMs contain the SU binary? I only read somwhere that this is how tha apps checks if the phone is rooted or not. I'm aware of the cloaking apps, but those require me to be rootad, right? Som my problem root continues: I dont wan to root (or should i say wipe data) but the bank app wont run since it says that the phone is rooted, which it's not...
EDIT: I just checked on my galaxy tab s, and it does not contain anh SU file in bin or xbin.
Hello. Good day.
Am having an infinix hot X507andriod phone. I once had full root access. But due to frequent switching off by itself and eventually stuck at boot, I had to return it to its manufacturer which robbed me of my root access.
Then, I used kingroot on Android which installed the kinguser. But the kinguser doesn't allow root access ( also checked it's settings).
Afterwards, I've been trying diff ways to root my phn to no avail. I used all the supported one-click rooting apps, also eroot, iroot, king root on PC. It was when connected to mtkdroid tool that I discovered that it was a su missing error. ( mtkdroid tool gives a yellow colour, so I think my phn is somehow rooted). Then, I ran through my phn with es file explorer and saw su at 2 diff locations; bin and xbin, both with 0.00kb size and non deletable.
Now, I shifted my attention to unrooting my device by deleting the kinguser but to no avail. And also mtkdroid tool also giving just root option( which gives su missing error when clicked). The kinguser has even turned to a system app and non deletable. I even tried 'replacing kinguser with superuser' method but no success. (Still su missing error). Note: I don't have any recovery image, so I couldn't flash SuperSU, or anything.
And any attempt to update binary through installed SuperSU will give an installation failed error.
HELP, please.
Thanks in advance.

root your device again with kingouser.. or kinguser
try kingoroot first and than install root uninstaller
that can remove system apps too so open the app and navigate to which app you want to delt n click uninstall..
done
try and give feedback

Hello, I'm having a problem with opening up an google pay wallet because my phone is read as rooted. The thing is it is not rooted. I rooted in a previous version of MIUI but after updating the root fell apart and I didn't have root permission's nor is my phone found rooted by root checker. Yet I st ll have problems.
how do I unroot an unrooted phone
Edit: root checker finds that root is not properly installed
Xiaomi mi 9 Lite
Android (And most Linux distros) will have a binary file namer "superuser" to give root access to a user (Or simply just switch to the root user)
The problem is simple: You updated while having root permissions, and this caused you to be the superuser (also known as root) while not having properly functioning root access.You can't do much, try flashing a new ROM maybe.
I want to remove root Access altogether not try and reroot it. Unless fully rooting again would help me unroot
Disable all permissions from Google play service and set up Google pay.
Then re enable them after your Google pay is set up.
Im adding google pay to an existing bank account, i still tried but it doesnt work. would factory resetting maybe help? i know it doesnt delete system files so it wouldnt unroot a rooted phone but maybe it might just work?
