[GUIDE]Fix Superuser Permissions!

DISCLAIMER: I am NOT RESPONSIBLE on anything that will happen on your device such as getting bricked or malfunctioning. I only posted this little trick I found out to help others who are also in the same boat. This method MAY or MAY NOT WORK on your device, so proceed at your own risk.
=====================================
Maybe some of you have not seen any Superuser prompt that appears whenever you run apps that needs root (example are Link2SD, Titanium Backup) and etc. Out of frustration last night, I tried to find a way to fix this and I have indeed found it.
But before that here are some of the prerequisites needed:
-Phone/Tablet must be ROOTED
-Has access to system using File Explorers such as Mi(UI) File Explorer, Root Explorer and other explorer that DO NOT prompts Superuser. What I mean here is that you can see /data, /mnt, /etc folders and the like.
..and here are the little steps in fixing it:
1. Download and install BusyBox from Google Play Store.
2. Open BusyBox, select 1.20.2.
3. Click install, and wait for it and it's done.
4. After BusyBox has been installed, download SuperSU from Play Store.
5. Install and let it load.
6. After loading, press YES when asked to update SU Binary.
7. When it's done, press back and try apps that needs root like Titanium Backup.
And there, notification prompt would appear again!
NOTE: UNINSTALL, take note UNINSTALL previous Superuser app through Root Uninstaller. Main reason why that should be uninstalled so that there would be no conflicts with the SU app.
OPTIONAL: you MAY UNINSTALL BusyBox app but I recommend not so to avoid any problems.
I have also applied this method to my tablet that's already rooted but doesn't have Superuser app yet. A simple press of thanks is highly appreciated. :3

hey, I've been trying and trying again but still can't... what should I do? root explorer cant fix my problem.. superSU, superuser fixer, it can't fix my problem too.

[Resolved] [Q]Need Help with Xperia Miro lost root access

Hi All,
I have screwed up my android which was perfectly fine with a perfect root. Please help me to restore the root access !!!
Here is my problem description:
I have a Sony Xperia Miro which was perfectly rooted.
Model : ST23i
Android : 4.0.4 ICS
Build : 11.0.A.5.5
The root verification using app 'root checker basic' was successful.
Now I had few of my company apps and bank apps which wouldn't work in rooted device. But I never wished to lose my root status. So I was searching for the ways to hide root access from these apps. I even came across apps exclusively built for this purpose (hidemyroot/OTA root keeper) But due to some bad comments about these apps, I decided to try manually
The idea was to fool the apps when checking the root access.
At first I renamed the super user apps at the location /system/apps. to some invalid file(super.txt)
This did the trick for couple of apps which weren't working before in my mobile. However couple of apps were still failing.
The next thing I did was renaming .su to ku in the below location /system/bin/.ext
Then I verified Root Checker Status, still it displayed "u have root access"
Then I went to /system/xbin and renamed the following.
.su to ku
.busybox to busyboxk
.dexdump to dexdumpk
Then I tried Root Checker Basic again. And got the message "device don't have proper root"
But still my apps were not working. Then I did the most foolish thing which was restarting the device.
BAM.. !!!! I lost my root access permanently. Now I don't have superuser app. And I m not able to use 'Root explorer', to rename back the files to its original state.!!! And most ironic thing is my company app still saying I have root access. I tried after deleting its cache and data. The result was same !!
How can I restore my root access ? Please help

one update
Since I renamed the superuser and superSu applications, I couldn't use them.
Today I installed both of them using package installer.
But they doesn't seem to work as they can't find su binary installed

Do you have a Custom Recovery setup and if so did you make a backup after root?.

I hate to be the one to tell you this but it looks like your going to have to do a factory reset and reroot your device. The same thing happend to me awhile back :/ If you want to save your apps use titanium back up or app backup & restore and add a custom recovery like cwmr so if this happens agen you wont have to reroot. if you are still having problems with your apps for work boot your phone into recovery and go to advanced then fix permisions if you have any other questions or any problems just let me know.
oya dont backup your superuser and supersu on your app backup sence you renamed them redownload your superuser if it dont come with your root program that you are using. and dont use supersu unless you really need it

HI,
I prefer to fix the issue in the same way it's been happened. The issue occurred when I renamed the
Su binary manually. I was trying to find ways to rename it back. So here is what I am going to try...
1. Pull the files using. Adb to PC and rename and push it back to phone.
If this doesn't work,
2. Install CWM and flash the zip file to install su,busybox,superSu
If this also doesn't work,
3. Reroot the phone
Unfortunately I can't do any of this right away. I will try this as soon as possible
and tell you which method worked for me.

:good: Plz do. I should have thought about pulling them. Im writing a guide on adb and didnt think about that lol guess my brain is fried from 18hr shifts and coming home and getting on here lol. But any ways after you pull them just replace them with new files insted of renaming them it would be less of a hassle. I would still install cwmr on your device

Solved the issue Finally !!
I was trying to pull the renamed files to PC(Windows Xp SP3) using adb. But I find lot of trouble setting up adb in Sony Xperia Miro. I updated my device by using Sony PC companion. Still couldn't get my device detected in the command 'adb devices' . Then tried to update google usb drivers. It didn't work at first, but I could install google usb drivers after changing android_winusb.inf file to include my device ID.
But even after I could get my device show up in command 'adb devices', I couldn't pull/push files. For some strange reason, my device was disconnecting continuously and each time I have to stop adb.exe process and restart to get my device connected back. And I finally gave up in the process.
Then all of a sudden it clicked me that why don't I use terminal emulator installed in my phone. But the biggest road block was to get root access. Root access will be given if you execute 'su' command in 'adb shell' . But I renamed the su binary. what do I do!!
Then I decided to give it a shot that executing the renamed binary !! (I had renamed su to ku). So I simply gave ku in adb shell. whola!! It worked. I got root access.
All I need to do was, change the permissions (using chmod) and rename the files back(I used root explorer) to correct names.
And I am done I got my ROOT BACK !!:good::victory::victory::
Later I updated my su binary and all is well in my device now. And what more, I found way to get my company apps work in my rooted mobile. I installed OTA rootkeeper and temporarily disabled root. Guess what it was still not working.
Then I tried my old stupid trick again (together with OTA temporary unroot). Rename SuperSu in /system/app .
And it worked !! But I won't be stupid again to reboot my device with this settings. And even if I did accidentally, I know what to do.. !!
Thanks everyone...

[Q] Lost root access?

Hi guys android newbie here! My friend rooted my Nexus 5 and it was working fine for a couple of weeks. Yesterday I tried to open SuperSU and it didn't work! Other apps that required root didn't work either.
I have been looking around and it seems OTA updates may have screwed up my root. Every time I try to open SuperSU it says: "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!" If you just upgraded to Android 4.3 (I have 4.4), you need to manual re-root. Consult the relevant forums for your device!" I have used root checker by joeykrim and it says "Sorry! this device does not have proper root access" (to confirm my root is busted).
My question is, is there any way to fix this without re-rooting? If I have to re-root, can I just directly re-root it again using something like Wugs rootkit?
Thank you very much in advance!

Just flash the newest version of supersu and you'll be good to go..... http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip

go to the play store, find supersu, install/update it, open tbe app and update your binaries.

My friend helped me root it so i have no idea on how to do this @@ Very sorry.

Hmmm... from the link I posted in one of my last post, you can just use a useful app called "flashify" and flash it that way (the easiest way) but you need that file that is in the link obviously to do so haha. So afterwards when in flashify you'll get 3 simple options, boot image, recovery image, and zip file. choose zip file, go into your downloads folder from the file explorer from the app (which it should be there if you downloaded it off your phone) and let the app do the rest

Ok so I can't open flashify either. It also says I have lost root access and my superuser is busted. I have attached a screenshot!
http://i42.tinypic.com/2mgw0v6.png

Of course, you don't have root access, silly me lol Well guess we'll have to do it the hard way (it's not really that complicated) ok read carefully. Power off your phone, afterward hold the power and volume down buttons which should get you into the bootloader, cycle trough the options with the volume buttons and when you see recovery mode select it with the power button, now depending on which Recovery you have you'll have to choose the option that says install or install from sd card, again, depending on which one you have this will be slightly different. After doing i believe the paths will be the same, chose 0/ then look for the download/ folder which you should have that supersu.zip file, if you're using twrp recover it should be touch screen and you simply select it and swipe to install, if you're using cwm (which i do) you'' have to scroll with the volume buttons and select the file with the power button to install. I hope I was as clear as i could be, good luck

after going into recovery mode, there is just a android robot with his chest open and an exclamation mark! can't proceed after that.

Ouhhh you don't have a recovery then, do you have adb or any kind of toolkit?

I have wugs toolkit. but every time i try to do anything at all on it. It says ADB device not found? That seems to be preventing me from doing anything as well.

Do you have the adb drivers installed or/and usb debug turned on in developer settings?

how/where do i install adb drivers? I have not done so, and i doubt my friend did it when he rooted.
I do turn on usb debugging when i tried to unroot/root on wugs toolkit

In wugs toolkit it has a walk-through on how to do so, i suggest you use the RAW drivers option

I must be blind to not have seen this before. Thank you very much for your help I'll let you know how it goes!

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´'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.

MEO StarAddict 6 root or firmware

Hello, if anyone could help me with this, I've tried to find firmware for this phone I've read in another thread it's from ZTE but no luck in their website, I want to root or update the firmware if anyone could help, currently the phone is freaking out not working properly. It's from Altice MEO and the name is StarAddict 6.

hello you can easily root your starradict 6 by the app named "KingRoot".
its safe and easy ,the app have his proper's root permissions manager's(exactly like super su) ,and works fine.You can also unroot your device by the KingRoot app too;(if you want to unroot definitively ,factory reset your device is hughly recommended)
For the firmware ,its more hard ,its need to use the DFU mode.
But for now i cant help you for where found the firmware.
one good solution is to make a dump of your firmware,its look like a backup in recovery,for mmake this im sure you can easily find how to make this on xda or google.
im looking for the firmware too ,if i found how and where to download it ,i post here for the starraddict community users.
friendly

Found the password. I looked up the file name on google and it lead me to firmware247 which had the password there. (It's https://firmware247.com).
How to unbrick:
Get any SDCard on your PC and paste the l730.v1 folder inside the root of the sdcard.
Put it back on the phone.
While pressing both Vol +, Vol - press Power Button.
This will put you into the "recovery mode" (if you can call it that...) which will read the files and install them
If you've reached this far hopefully your phone is working again
ROOT with Magisk:
Download and install Dr. Fone root tool (make sure it's the root tool and not the management/backup tool)
Go into phone developer settings and enable OEM Unlocker and USB debugging
Root the phone with Dr. Fone root tool (it will ask to install supersu, accept it)
When you open supersu, DO NOT UPDATE THE BINARIES, or you will go into bootloop (happened to me at least)
Install magisk manager apk
Open magisk so you get the prompt to allow on it supersu
Restart magisk and super su app (for some reason some options don't appear on magisk if you don't do this)
Download and install (patch) magisk to directly.
Reboot as prompted by the tool.
Open supersu and go into options.
Select delete supersu and remove "root" (you will need to allow supersu root permissions on magisk)
That's it, you now have your phone rooted with magisk.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to find a way to fix safety net, please let me know if you do. (CTS Profile is flagged)
