I have had my phone rooted for about a year. I updated my phone 2 months ago to Quantum kitkat 4.4.2 and I seem to have lost root. I can still reboot into custom recovery, update and install zip files, create backup, etc. yet the phone has lost superuser. I have tried re installing SU via app and zip. It says "the SU binary needs to be updated" Every way i have tried has failed. I have tried rerootin using Framaroot and through terminal emulator using motochopper. none works. When I updated to the newest Kitkat 6.1 kernell yesterday in recovery it said " phone is not rooted would you like to root?" when i said yes it stayed in endless boot loop.
HELP! How can I get root back without factory reset and staying on Quantum kitkat?
Samsung SGH I747
android version 4.4.2

Hello all,
I have had my Galaxy i5500 for awhile now and have used odin to flash updates for the firmware etc.
I have recently rooted my phone using Superoneclick and this worked fine. Overclocked the phone, and ran a number of Apps using SuperUser Access to gain all the benefits from this.
I installed Titanium Backup and Installed it on my SD Card, this caused a number of problems and I had to pull the battery on my phone to reboot it. Anyway it then hung at the GT-I5500 screen and I ended up having to download a new firmware (not custom) and use Odin to update it.
I now have a working phone, however I now can't root it. I have tried Superoneclick, that no longer works. I have also tried Universal Androot..with that I get an error message of Root Failed - No Fu Guu (or something like that) and I have just tried using z4root... with that it says acquiring Root Shell and then it just kicks me out...have checked and it's not rooted.
I also can't seem to access the reboot menu on my phone (the one where you press a couple of buttons to enter the menu where you can factory set your phone.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Other than these problems mentioned, the phone works as it should
Solved....
It took awhile of trying different root software but.... after reflashing my phone with another stock rom, I found Super One Click still didn't work, nor did z4root or universal Androot (I'm guessing it would have worked without reflashing a different rom).
I did however find that Unlock Root 2.2 worked! My phone is now flashed, no error messages and I have Superuser Access!! Now time to install a custom bootloader and start with the custom roms!!
I have a galaxy s4 gt-i9500 just upgraded to jelly bean 4.3. I rooted with it Christmas autoroute using Odin. It all went well but I noticed that while rebooting it doesn't shows that Android is upgrading like what I used to see when I rooted it while it running Android 4.2.2.
Also when I checked it using root checker the message "Please wait for root checker to complete. The system seems running very slow." I wait for quite a long time and then it showed that the rooting is failed.
What did I go wrong?? I tried it several times but still the same. Any help.!!
You could boot it into fastboot mode, flash CWM or TWRP and flash a custom ROM
Due to Knox sometimes the root process doesn't work straight away. I had to flash it a couple of times and then it went through.

Alright I'll just start from the beginning since this is just a long chain of ****ery
Rooted my GS3
Installed TWRP
Installed Carbon-JB-NIGHTLY-20130824-0816-D2VZW which is a 4.3 JB rom.
Attempted to install Revolutionary S5 V3 and KK gapps package at the same time.
Hard bricked my phone.
Used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166&highlight=system+software+not+authorized to get my phone to get to Odin.
When attempting to boot phone outside of Odin it just stated that it was running not supported software (unlocked padlock that says custom)
Went onto Samsung and downloaded a Stock 4.3 rom and flashed that with Odin.
Started phone up and was unable to use terminal emulator (no root) to continue with fixes in above thread.
Attempted to root using saferoot, unsuccessfully (updated kernel can't do it).
Attempted to root using CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300, unsuccessfully.
Attempted to root using Kingo, unsuccessfully.
I do have Samsung Knox :crying:
So now that you're all up to speed to where I'm at, long story short, I need root access on this phone. It has no power button so I lock the screen with a root gesture control app. The back and menu buttons are non functioning so I use a custom UI that adds a back and menu button to the screen. Can ANYONE give me a way to get root back on this frankenstein of a phone? I've never changed a kernel before and I supposed that'd be my next step since I can't saferoot with the kernel I currently have and any thread that explains how I would go about doing it at my current state of ****ery
All help appreciated!

Hi members of the community.
i came here newly registered because it hink my issue can help other samsung s3 users with rooting issue.
I did a cf-autoroot via odin on my computer and the root seemed to had gone fine. All until i rebooted my phone after doing a supersu update and i lost all my root priviliges. After that i did a factory reset just to be sure everything of rooti g was gone of my phone. After i did the factory reset i still had my supersu installed. And after i updated my phone to 4.3 jelly bean i lost it again. When i was on jelly bean 4.3 i tried to do the rooting process once again. Still it works fine all until i reboot. So i once again did a factory reset and now the supersu was gone. Well thats not just it . When i updated to jelly bean 4.3 i tried autoroot softwares like rootgenius where i got the message that it was sucessfully rooted. But now i was not able to get root access on my phone. I once again did factory reset and updated to jelly bean and tried another rooting software. And that did not work either. And then another factory reset and now root genius did not suceed anymore. I have also tried the popular one click root app everyonr talks about but it seems all i get is an error code and the only exploit being listed is aragorn. Are anyone familiar with this kind of issue ? Is there a way to clean my phone from all kinds of root ? I have tried something called universal riit but its not cleaning anything unless i got root access.
Ive recently had my phone rooted (by ROOTANDROID.COM) and ive had problems with the su root. ive factory reset phone by going into recovery mode and re-flashed cf-root several times, and resetting phone and cache and reinstaling & updated su and su pro, along with rom toolbox pro, via google playstore, and it says message on fone screen saying su binary needs updated. do i need to do it manualy ? ive tried thru google play with no success...ive lost my wifi and my device seems slow, my phone is samsung galaxy S5 LTE A G906S RUNNING 4.4.2 KK
ANK1 Update. think its the latest software update.
THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP GUYS,
I SORTED IT MYSELF ;-D
