I'm at my wits end because after 6 hours of trying to make sure my Samsung Vibrant is rooted and that I can use Superuser Elite (which I've had for a while) I get conflicting information from the "Root Check Pro" which states I have root access and busybox installed. However, when I click on busybox it tells me I don't have root access to install it. Furthermore, my list of apps in Superuser is blank and there is no option to add apps to it.
I went to adroidsu.com for help with Superuser but it actually was no help as there were no instructions on how to use it, install it or troubleshoot it.
I'm running Froyo 2.2 (T-Mobile). My end desire is simply to update my ROM to 2.3 Gingerbread.
I have the premium version of ROM Manager installed but nothing happens when I click on "Reboot into Recovery". Same thing for "Backup Current ROM". It will prompt me if I want to reboot. When I click "Yes" nothing happens.
I attempted to use both the update.zip method (putting it on the internal SD card) and going into recovery mode at bootup to root the phone and also tried the latest version of SuperOneClick. Both 'SEEMED' to work but now I'm having my doubts.
I have no idea where to go next to resolve this. Help!
Ive got a Galaxy Ace GT S5830 and want to Root it.
Got advice from this Utube - (not allowed to show it)
Got BusyBox - installed and GalacyAce Unlock Beta installed as well.
Busybox tells me "Problem opening the shell with root access. This is caused by Superuse /Supersu or an improperly installed device.
Try removing Superuse /Supersu permissions, unistall /reinstall this ap n then regrant permissions for Superuse /Supersu.
Download RootChecker to verifiy correct root."
Rootchecker says the device does not have proper root access.
Another utube tute tells me to uninstall SuperUser with SuperOneClick. Did that - or thought I had but Rootchecker tells me otherwise See above)
Two days later I am a wreck...and a naive one at that.
Can you help pls.

Just picked up a Neo 4.5 as a gift for someone today. Rooted & installed SuperSU binary & App w/ Framaroot v1.9.4. Maybe the version you tried didn't have the correct strings for the MT6572 yet. I believe it worked with Boramir.
i need root too

I´'ve rooted several BLUs with Kingo Root (just Google search for it and install it on your laptop). The challenge if you are a noobie is that sometimes you miss a step OR people assume that you know the basics, so they forget to tell you about some important steps that you must take before you root.
Instructions:
1. Install Kingo Root.
2. On your BLU, open Settings (make sure you have allowed applications to be installed from Unknown Sources...you'll find this option under Security in the Settings)..
3. In Settings, go to About Phone and rapidly click on the "Build Number" as many times as it takes to say, "You are now a developer". This will open a new option in the Settings called Developer Options.
4. In Settings, now go to Developer Options and make sure it is ON and also turn on the USB Debugging. VERY IMPORTANT!
5. Now connect your BLU to your computer via a USB cable and wait till all the drivers are installed and the device is READY TO USE.
6. Disconnect your phone from the computer.
7. Run the Kingo Root software.
8. Connect your phone to the computer (Kingo will eventually connect to the phone and then will show you a big ROOT button.
9. Click the big ROOT button and sit back till it does its thing.
10. Wait till Kingo gives you the "ROOTED!" message and then you are done (so go ahead and unplug your phone from USB and close Kingo Root software).
11. Reboot your phone and confirm root (download Busy Box Checker from Play Store). You might also want to download Busy Box X and install the busybox binaries..
OPTIONAL SUPERUSER:
You don't have to do this next part if you're happy with Kingo User.
Note that these days, Kingo Root will install a superuser (su) binary that is controlled by their own app called Kingo User instead of the SuperSU app. If you want SuperSU by Chainfire, you have to search XDA for BETA SuperSU 2.49. You'll find a zip file with a beta version of SuperSU and a script that will eliminate Kingo User and replace it with SuperSU.
Install BUSY BOX X on your phone (download from Play Store).
Place the SuperSU v2.49 zip on your SD card in the phone (IT MUST BE THE VERSION 2.49 NOT THE OFFICIL 2.46 OR THIS IS NOT GOING TO WORK). Then boot into recovery (to do that you turn your phone off and then after it is off, you restart it with the power button while you are holding down the volume UP button). Then you use the menu you find there to "Install a zip from SD card". Select the zip you just put on the SD card, and it will flash the SuperSU program and binaries to your phone, while deleting the Kingo User app and it's binaries. Now select Reboot System at the top of the menu and you're all done.

Any chance you could PM me or mirror the 1.9.4 apk? I can't find it from a reliable resource online, and 1.9.3 did not root my new Neo 4.5. Tried several other rooting tools, none of which worked, so I'd love to be able to get my hands on the apk you used to do the root.
Thanks!

You still have not rooted your Neo 4.5? Can you give us a little more information? Respond to the following questions:
1. Have you turned on Developer Options on the phone?
2. Have you turned on USB Debugging in the Developer Options?
3. Have you installed the USB drivers for your phone?
4. Download and run MTK Droid Tools (as administrator). Just Google it and you will find lots of sources for the software (including here on XDA). Then connect your phone via USB cable. What message is shown on the bottom left corner of the MTK Droid window? Take a screenshot of your computer screen if possible and post it here.
Once you've answered these questions, we'll be able to help you.

Follow these simple steps:
1. Go to the Play Store and install SuperSU.
2. When SuperSU is installed, give it permission as Super User.
3. Uninstall KingUser.
4. Done.

hI! I try on my HUAWEI ASCEND G6 and... dont work ... is possibel that an update that Kinguser had done make it impossibel?????
I root with RootGenius_en, was ok, kinguser ask for a update, done. But Now i whant to change do SuperSu and dont work. I had permissions and every thing...
Help! :crying:
Me too
I'm trying to do this too, but I aint sure how to do it. I mean I guess if its not super necessary I can leave it the way it is. Tried this method and its a no go. I don't think the KingUser SU is letting superSU update its binaries. I already have twrp, but not sure what next. If its not necessary I'll leave it alone, but I was just wondering if theres any reason to change over or if it could even be done.
P.S This way never worked for me as superSU can't get past trying to install the binaries. I got twrp so I'm wondering if I'd have to flash it. Nothings wrong on my end are anything, but I just assumed having superSU would be better then kinguser but not really sure.
many people have this problem.
first of all, kinguser is great to root the G6, and in most cases the only working method without custom recovery,
but because it flashes kinguser.apk as system app you can't uninstall it the normal way.
the solution is to flash supersu.zip and then uninstall kinguser. this way supersu will be your systemapp.
find the files and tutorials you need on our facebook group,
we have 1500+ members, CWM + TWRP, android 4.3 + 4.4, we can root your g6 and unlock your bootloader.
but we still don't have a subforum on XDA....
https://www.facebook.com/groups/328261053999820
Must vary from device to device cause I've did all that, and it gives the message "Installing Please wait..." and then after it fails it says " Installation Failed! Please reboot and try again" and if kinguser is removed in superSU when trying to update/install the binaries it says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! If just upgraded to Android 4.3 you need to manually re-root- consult the relevant forums for your device."
This aint the g6 though but this thread is the kinguser replace with superSU thread. So I thought I'd post in it.

Install SuperSu rom magazin play.
Then instal rom lite box.
Open the app, and uninstall kinguser
easy, and it`s working.I just deleted kinguser 2 mins ago
Hum
@andruala Never worked for me that way, anytime I remove king user root gets removed. Never was able to flash superSU rom correctly because binaries couldn't get updated from superSU because root was removed once king user was uninstalled. I've heard people mention it working the way you suggested, but I've also read posts where people have a hard time getting it replaced with superSU because root gets removed when king user is replaced, which doesn't allow superSU to install the binaries correctly. Most people probably can't get the binaries installed correctly from superSU which is the same problem I had so they end up just leaving it king user. I could try whats suggested here but I very much doubt its going to work as explained from my conflict that when king user is removed, root is removed and whether you flash a SU zip or not root still aint enabled because SU binaries are nt installed correctly. So until I actually can confirm this works myself I'm gonna prob say its a no-go for me. Could be device specific but I did all this to a tee and still had problems. There was a post on freak tab where someone had the same problem. I might still try this, I just dont see it working like as said.

Yes...i`m really sorry.For me wit worked before i restarted the phone...
After de restart i`ve seen that the root is not working anymore...
Sorry for my bad.
No worries bro. Probably varies depending on how you root from device to device.
Its not your fault. No worries. I'm just thinking it varies from device to device and how you actually go about rooting . I'm also thinking that maybe if I rooted with another app/prog that it would have been easier to switch from king user to superSU. I use lookout premium security on my phone and kingroot and king user have never been flagged with any viruses so I've just left it on and running the way it is and so far so good. Other then the two errors I mentioned in the previous post king user/kingroot has been working good. I'm sure if I did a whole restore/wipe/clean and root with another program there might be a possibility to remove king user and replace with superSU but in the end I just decided to roll with king user/kingroot as I didn't feel like doing al that and its been doing its job fine.

Well I thought about leaving kinguser sitting there on my system too until one day I installed network monitor stuff and noticed kinguser sure likes to make HTTP connections every time the Internet is available. Imagine that. Also have a look, there are /system/bin/.usr/.ku etc. hiding all over your system.
The earlier versions of Kingo Root were much better

Those earlier versions were putting SuperSU binaries into the root. But now they are putting on this King User crap. Reason I say it's crap is exactly what you mentioned. As soon as I root a phone with Kingo Root, Google Search immediately tells me that it will not allow me to search for anything because "your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now"
Good God! What the heck is Kingo Root putting onto these phones now? It sure isn't putting just su binaries in there.
Indeed. What is needed is for someone to take a vanilla phone into a cleanroom, install the mess, and report back on exactly what ended up getting put where, in order for somebody to make a "kinguser detox/.antidote" APP and/or shell scripts that would clean the mess totally back off.
don't know if it's gonna help you ( have alcatel onetouch idol 2 mini s):
i also couldn't update binaries su and had kinguser.
then i downloaded the beta version of supersu (on xda) and flashed it with my cwm. after that when supersu asked if i wanted to update, i said yes and choose normal update (not the cwm/t... one) it than updates and asked if i wanted to remove the external root apps (ie: kinguser) and voila!
(sorry English isn't my language, so don't know if i explained myself well^^)

Oh. I wasn't angry at you Was just asking.
it took me like a year to root my phone then i couldn't make it work well with kinguser, and i wanted supersu anyway, so i found that i could install manually the app with cwm .
anyway, i don't now if you can use cwm without a root?

I had the same issue with my mobile, (Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray (ST18i)), I then rooted my phone with EROOT Software which installed a superuser app, then i got the .apk file of SuperSU via Bluetooth from a friend and installed it. one has to grant permission when it asks for superuser rights, then updating binary files is no longer a problem. It also asks for removal of the Superuser-app that was pushed through the EROOT software, you do that. Then I installed link2SD and link2sd pro key from google play store and converted the SuperSU app into a system-app. Now SuperSU is working perfectly again.
You both should try it!!
Hello everyone!
I would like to ask you something and i REALLY HOPE someone will be able to help me out.
I have a samsung s5 sm-g900f with Android 6.0.1 and i'm trying to root it.
Actually it was supposed to be rooted when i got it -it's my bf's phone. And...aaam i don't know if it's called "rooted" when it just have custom recovery and rom? I just call it that way-. Yesterday i installed root checker and Super SU and the Super SU keeps saying that "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it" and that if i have Android 5 i should re root manually and stuff.
I have tried like everything i have found on the net since yesterday, flashing with Odin, changing recovery from twrp to cwm, and all the time the steps are made by letter, all seems fine, i see the red pirate android after the recovery reboot and all that, have tried to install the UPDATE-zip and the BETA-zip and all i could find. I tried to install Kingroot but i couldn't figure out how. My recovery nor Odin can see the file to install it and then i try to do it manually, like all apps, it says could not be installed. :crying:
I got really tired and i cave in to ask for help here. I hope the post is in the right place and if it's not please move it where it should be!
Thank you in advance!

Since you can flash custom recovery then your bootloader is already unlocked so....
Do a search for "flashing SuperSU.zip Galaxy S5" or you might need to search for "flashing SuperSU.zip in systemless mode galaxy s5". Flashing one of those should give you root and su binaries, after flashing, boot the device and open the SuperSU app and update the su binaries then reboot the device. Then after rebooting, you need to go to system settings>developer options>root access and set it to "apps and adb", then install a file manager that has a root explorer such as ES File Explorer, then open it, tap the menu button, go to the "TOOLS" tab, find "Root Explorer" and turn it on, then when you see the next menu, tap "Mount R/W", then set all listed partitions to "rw".
If you can access your SELinux profile, make sure it's set to "permissive" mode.
If you can get all of that set then you'll have access to modify and control pretty much anything you want about the device.

thank you!!!
i wont be able to try it for a few days but i'll try it as soon as i can and give you feedback on this!
So i'm trying to follow your instructions right now. I guess it's ok if i install recovery upon recovery and SU upon SU without first removing the "faulty" one?
Cause i have done the first steps a lot these days
edit: i flashed again aaaaaand nothing new happened. The SU binary is nowhere to be found :/
some say it could be a problem of the cable or the computer?
Should i try from a different pc and cable? I do not really understand it but i'll give it a try later
edit 2: i retried from another pc and another usb cable, the same happens. Does not install the SU through the recovery
I installed the SuperSU (actually enebled it again and updated it) from playstore and opened it and it says the sme thing again. Can't find su binaries and stuff.
What should i do? Is format a solution or can avoid it?
