[Q] GS4 installing superuser

i just rooted my phone using motochopper. and am trying to use ltm launcher. every time i open it, it says root context not able to get permission.
and then when i go to the superuser, it says the superuser binary (su) must be updated. and it ask if i want to recovery install or just install, but none of it works. i even downloaded supersu from chainfire and it says there is no su binary installed. so i need help getting root permission to apps so i can get lmt launcher to work.
i read an old post with they guy with the same problem and u told him to flash it with something but i am not really sure how to do that. so if u can kind of explain how to do that.
thanks

Just installing the super user app from play store doesn't root your phone.
SuperUser app only manages root permissions. It itself does not root the phone. Head over to your xda section and read there how to root your phone .

Like I've said I have already rooted my phone using motochopper. That's not the problem. The problem is not getting super user updated

Did you follow the official rooting procedure as given in your xda forum? Because if your phone is rooted then you won't face any problem related to SuperUser app and updating binary and all these stuffs.

I've had the same problem as listed above.

Verizon Samsung Stratosphere super easy root

ok I have look on google and found nothing that is this easy to do so here we go.
This is for the Verizon Samsung Stratosphere SCH-I405 with android 2.3.6 the latest and most likely the last OTA Update on it
Stuff to downlaod
1. Root Checker app
2. BusyBox installer app
3. ES File Explorer app
4. Framaroot V1.6.0 app from HERE
Install instructions
install all apps
open framaroot and root device then reboot
open busy Box and install it with the oldest version V1.14.3
click on superuser app and update the binary.
thats it you now have a rooted Samsung Stratosphere
Heres my video for more info Stratoshpere Root
All credit goes to the Developer of framaroot for a awesome app thanks

didn't work for me
This sequence didn't work on my phone and I followed all your instructions to the letter in your video. It failed to 'clear' that last little red tagged piece; none of the BusyBox versions would install. Do you have any additional advice? I don't know enough about rooting and there seem to be many directions that are much more complex and involve downloading and pushing a number of things to the phone via usb, and I would rather not spend hours trying to figure this out and worry that it won't work.
Thanks for any help!

Just wanted to chime in, and tell you that this worked for me. Although I watched the video, and the extra USB Debugging step was not required for my Stratosphere.
Thanks a lot!

This is all old news , everybody with an i9100 on XDA and wants to root their phone already knows the thread of Framaroot
Find some new ways!

Very old thread it is. This farmaroot apk is not working, however. Can anyone share other file sources???
however, after searching for the solution I got this article with directing the farmaroot apk link. Is it the same apk talked about here ago?
I just wanted to be sure if it's safe to download or not.
here, another app has been mentioned that is the Kingroot which I have known much before. May be guessing I can find it on Google Play Store. that seems to be with more pop ups which freak me out sometimes as well.

Is there any way to replace the chinese apps with other apps as I dont know chinese
Click to expand...

yes, download SuperSU, and copy it to /system/apps with a root browser, fix permission, remove chinese app, reboot
if you install SuperSu from play store it will be something like /data/apps/eu.chainfire.supersu.apk
you can try using it there, but you need to move it to /system before you remove chinese app
there are several root browser/explorer/file manager that will work but it needs to be one with root access options
the chinese app should be in /system/apps not sure of name.
Fixing permissions: Looks like
Read Write Execute
Owner:................X .......... X............ _
Group:.................X .......... _ ......... _
Others:................X .......... _ ......... _
RW-R--R-- 0644
This should correct setting, but compare to other system apks.

I replaced the chinese super user with the supersu from playstore with the help of this link. http //forum xda-developers com/showthread php t=2532818. but now I am facing a problem that Firstly I lost root and secondly when I open the supersu apk I get a msg that "there is no su binary installed and supersu cannot install it.

You have to reroot.
Try one of these
RootMaster Links
Rootmaster apk or Here
and
Rootmaster.exe run from PC
Most android devices are rootable by one or both these options.

Your problem is not clear from above patagraph.
Is that you dont want any root app.
Orr you want to unroot your stock rom.

King Root is an evil Chinese app that spies on you and it cannot be replaced unless you buy Super Sume from the Play Store

Can you send me the screenshots of your root app settings.
