you must have rooted your phone to use root apps. check on google for a how-to guide

su is auto installed when the phone is rooted but installing su on unrooted phone will not help you to install app that needs root access.

You need the su binary for root access :thumbup:

As the dude above me said- try to flash root again:

Yea, I agree with the above. A simple reboot may also help. I know Samsung can be a bit sneaky with updates that can take away root.

vroot gives another superuser application that you can replace later and the device you own has mtk chipset (motherboard)

first remove "superuser.apk" from /system/app folder
then remove "su" binary from /system/bin or /sbin or /xbin
reboot phone

So you've used root checker and says your device is rooted? If so I believe you do have root access the app should work regardless of having root or not, have you got superuser installed?
root checker says I don't have root..but my Barclays app nd pingit app both says they don't work on rooted phones nd unable to use them....
so I really don't no if I do have root or not???
yea I got supersu installed

Have you bought the phone from the store, or second hand? If it's from a store, i don't think it's rooted.

You can use root checker app, and I believe you do have root have you got busybox installed? Also if you go into your settings on superuser there's a option to install into /system if you do this it should sort out your problem
There is nothing in there mate at all
