[Q] Root Problems (Solved) - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm having issues with my OPO root. After unlocking Bootloader, flashing TWRP recovery and installing SuperSu, I installed some root Apps. The first one worked (gave permission), but the second App said I have no root installed, and the first one said the same. When I restart my phone sometimes it works but only for some seconds.
Hope someone can help.

Toolkit?
Did you do this
Disable CM Recovery Protection - On your phone go to Settings > Developer options. Then disable the 'Update recovery with system updates' option.

ok thats the guide I used and had no issues. As an fyi whenever I get a new device and want to root I come to xda and look for any stickied root methods since that means they have worked properly and is trusted by the community...
Glad I could help and take it easy!

SU Binary problem

Hello,
When I try to open SuperSU, I get this error, 'There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!'
I do not know what to do.
Can anyone please help me with this?

Did you try running the motochopper or the Xperia_L_Root script again?
Delete SuperSU and maybe try again. And please tell if any errors occurred during the running of the script(s).

I did root once again using Xperia_L_Root script and before doing that I had uninstalled SuperSU.
Also, there was a problem while rooting. The script said 'Failure' somewhere but still it continued and also said the Exploits were pushed successfully

Have u tried using motochopper only?
Update SU from play store (don't open yet) and install Busybox. After installing busybox, open SU. SU will recognize busybox and install the binaries!
If this dosen't work then use motochopper again.
I just ran that script once again, it works now. Thanks

Hey Navneet thanx,,,,,, The problem is solved.... Here are the steps that i followed
uninstalled super user from my device
rooted the phone with motochooper
Installed superSu (when you root with motochopper you will already have super user installed on your device but the binaries were not installed so instead what i did was installed SuperSu of chanfire so that i will get a conflict message and the chainfire will unstall the default super user and update the binaries for me.
And Bingo! Luckily it worked...............

Almost the same problem as above but not really
Hello guys! My name is Vlad, this is my first post here and this is my first time trying to root a phone. I got a little problem so I would really appreciate if you could guide me a bit step by step out of it.
I have a Sony Xperia L phone and I have tried to root it using an app that uses Motochopper exploit, downloaded from this link:
htt p:// ww w.4shared.com/zip/6WyYYjpCce/Xperia_L_ROOT .html
delete the spaces in order for the link to work. Sorry for not respecting the rule but there would be no other way to show what I used
It seems to work but I have an error that occurs at the end:
"Rooting phone...
This may take a few minutes.
Failure.
Cleaning up...
Exploit complete.
Press enter to reboot and exit."
I have tried the ideas mentioned until now: reboot, reinstall, update, etc. but nothing seems to work. Any idea to help me please?
P.S. I am not trying to offend anyone by saying this but if I need to use some program to install something complicate please explain me as I am a beginner into this.
Thank you!

There is no way you can get back TA partition if you lost the backup too. But its just for some warranty and DRM purposes. It shouldn't affect the user experience in general. As for Whatsapp and other updates, its completely unrelated to rooting or TA partition.

Help: Wipe+Root

Hi all.
How can I wipe my Nexus 5 so it is a plain Kit Kat 4.4.2 (like the day I received it) and just root it? it's currently in 4.4.2 and rooted, but with a lot of stuf in it too. My main concern is how to wipe once it's rooted, and how to reroot.
For those who like to read, a little more info:
I have a Nexus 5 which received 2 days ago. I come from an iPhone 5S, so... pretty newbie...
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the device after unboxing, and have been using it since. Problems are:
1. I just found out about CWM and its capabilities, and I intend to use the backups a lot.
2. I kind of ****ed up with a couple of apps I regret installing.
3. After a backup I just did today, it asked to whether or not fix the recovery (or something like that). Selected YES, nothing happened. It then asked to fix the root... said YES and screwed it completely. I had to put SuperSu in the phone as a ZIP and manually install it again to recover my root access. It kind of looks "dirty" now, lol.
Anyways, I'd like to make a whole device backup from CWM with Kit Kat out of the box, no extra apps installed. Just rooted. Then install all my stuff, sync contacts and so on, and make another backup.
That's why I want to erase the device and have it all clean (just rooted).
Thanks!

Because the 2nd method furnishes you with knowledge and experience to help you understand and learn things that cf auto root "automates" for you. Using our recommended method, you will have a head start in knowing how to do things you may need to do to recover your device from various scenarios.
...for example, had you used that method last time - applying logic and knowledge, you may not have created this thread

Oh please, I know. I was just hiding my ignorance under the iOS carpet.
Will give a read to both links tomorrow. Will definitely do link1 on friday if I find the time, and will then consider either doing link2 or going the CF-Auto-Root way.
I'll let you know how this all ends.
Again, thanks!
Update:
Followed steps in link1. Everything went fine.
Gave a deep read to link2. Found it understandable and easy to do and follow, but decided to go the CF-Auto-Root way just because I had done it before and worked nicely...
Everything OK. Something weird happened -again- though. After the clean restore and root, I installed CWM and proceeded to make a backup of the plain system. After it, it asked to fix root again. I had previously said YES, which lead to a broken root, so I said NO this time. Same thing happened!! I lost root and had to manually install SuperSu 1.93 from ZIP in CWM... Why does this happen?
Anyways, I have another question. If one day I decide to restore from this backup I just made, will it be exactly as doing a complete restore following link1?
Thanks!

Flash this in cwm http://d-h.st/YpG. It'll put twrp on
Oh damn it... Really? OK, a couple of quick questions:
1. Did reinstalling SuperSu leave junk in the file system?
2. Will flashing TWRP leave anything either?
My OCD would probably make me restore again if the answer to any of those questions is yes.

I'm unlocked/rooted by manual and right-way method for my nexus 5. But my brother is paranoid as ****. He just get's totally afraid abt hearing the word root/unlock.

[Q] Root (partially) gone after 5.1 update

Hi guys,
my setting was: rooted 5.0 but stock bootloader (I think). Now I want to update to 5.1 and followed the instructions in this post. Also I flashed TWRP and the current SuperSU.
Now, SuperSU tells me that
No su-file is installed and SuperSU isn't able to install one
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
RootChecker tells me that
Sorry! Root access is not properly installed
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But with ES File Explorer I can access / and all of its subfolders.
So it seems, that my phone is still kind of rooted but there's so su-file. Any hints how I can fix that?
Furthermore, the preferences crash when I try to open the Language and Input section. Everything else works flawlessly.

You can flash just system.img. You will not loose any data and rooting again is not such a deal. There are too many dependences to discover what actually went (still is) wrong.

Alright, I re-flashed the systems.img and the current SuperSU zip (seems like I used an older one before) and root is back
The preferences section "Languages and Input" is still crashing though.
Edit: Nevermind. I had to enable the Google Keyboard, now everything is fine.

SuperSU remains on phone after system update but cannot be accessed or deleted

I used a root explorer to access the file, it says it can't be deleted because it's read only. Going to superSU on the play store shows that it is installed and shows no option to uninstall. What do I do.

hello bududubdubdubs it would be easier to fix your problem if you tell me some details :-
1. mobile brand and model
2. native and upgraded android os
3. the software that you rooted the phone with
Sorry, it's a verizon lg g3. Updated from 4.4.3 (I think) to 5.0.1 and rooted with the one-click root.

Can't, root process goes through and says it's completed but when I go to SuperSU it still says binary isn't installed.

How many times did you try the one click method? I sometimes need to re run it a few times.
You can also try the manual method.

I tried the one click way like 10 times. The first time I rooted it it worked on the first time, but since the update I have not been able to re-root it. I guess I'll try the manual way.
