Root on Samsung Galaxy 7.0 Plus (GT-P6210)

First, sorry if this is the wrong forum for this, but as a new user, this is the only place I seem to be allowed to post.
Anyway, I have been trying to follow the steps in this thread to gain root on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus WiFi (P6210)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777003
I am running Stock ICS 4.0.4.
I managed to get through, booting into recovery, starting CWM (temp version) and installing the root package. Selected reboot and installed SuperUser apk from the market and then tried to update SU. All this went off without a hitch.
However, when I try to get the SuperUser apk to update SU, I get Gaining root access: Failed
I went to ChainsDD's site and grabbed the latest stable SU directly from there (version 3.1.1 for ARM)
http://androidsu.com/superuser/
I even tried some of the other archived versions and his latest 3.2RC3 release, but still the SU apk will not gain root.
It shows latest version = 3.1.1, installed version = 2.3.1-ef.
It succeeds in downloading sutools and new binary but fails in gaining root.
I saw some suggestions about clearing data for SuperUser.apk, so I tried that and another reboot, and still no luck
I am not sure what to try next. I saw some notes about fixing perm for SU, but I am not sure how to do that, I thought the SuperUser APK would do that for me. I did note that the listed perms for the SU seem odd to me (sell, odd compared to su on my Liniux box anyway) and are shown in red in the SuperUser app window
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

[Q] [newb alert] HELP regarding GT-P5110 (root issue)

Hi.
I'm trying to root my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (wi-fi)
I seem to have been able to root it however it seems busybox neither superuser is not detected by root checker app. As far as I'm aware busybox is needed to continue to install cwm right?
I have super user installed though...
Please understand this was gifted to me by a relative who lives in Australia i.e. origin of the product is Australian.
I can't seem to understand how to flash cwm onto this.
I followed a bunch of sites.
Links:
http://droidfirmwares.com/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-2-10-1-p5110-easy-tutorial.html/2 (mainly this but it seems I sort of followed mix advice of both)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203309
I used the PDA option in Odin however after that I can't make head or tail of how to proceed to install clockworkmod recovery.
It seems incredible that just 2 weeks back I had been able to mod my Sensation XE and Xperia Z but am utterly confused as to how to proceed in this case. Please help.

Continuation
Apparently every time I run Odin and install it always installs and in root checker app it shows rooted however superuser and busybox are not shown although superuser asks permission for using root checker which I grant??
Whats happening? :X
I hope I have made my position a little clear.
1. It shows rooted in root checker
2. I have supersu installed (althought root checker denies it)
3. How do I proceed to install CWM (I tried installing couple of times from playstore it downloads the update after I select my model no: and after that it gets stuck on flashing)
4. Please explain step by step

[Completed] How to upgrade Su binary for Kinguser?

My device: MMX Unite 2 A106 8Gb
ROM: Stock Kitkat 4.4.2
Root: Yes, rooted with Kingroot
Superuser installed: Kinguser 4.0.0
Problem: My Kinguser seems to want to upgrade Su. Yes, the app says its Su, wheter Su here means Su binary I can't say. (But, either way the problem persists) The problem is somehow the kinguser failed to upgrade that and kept interrupting other apps and giving a push msg "Su upgrade faied. Missing root permission". Though, the root permission does seem really missing coz other apps with root privilege are working fine. But, neither the interruption, nor the push msg ceased coming up.
Solutions tried: I tried upgrading Su binary with Superuser by ChainsDD. But, this Superuser, having outdated binary notification turned on, did not seem to need any upgradation. And, when I tried manually it gave msg "failed" in red. I tried Superuser Update Fixer too. But, it couldn't detect any problem.
Now, I tried SuperSU by Chainfire. And, to my woe, it failed repeatedly to do the initial su binary upgrade in NORMAL way. I tried flashing Update_SuperSU zip from xda developers forum but that instead of doing any good, got the Kinguser hidden and my root privilege broken.
So, now, back to top, how can I upgrade Su for Kinguser when the app itself failed????? Is there any alternative to it??? Help, kindly.....
N.B.: I'm far from being an expert. So, please say all the necessary details of what to do and how to do.

Nexus 7 2013 Removing Root

Hi All,
I have a Nexus 7 2013 and I wish to update it. However when the OTA update is run a error message appears. I rooted the tablet several months ago and have since then un-rooted it. When I run a root checker Superuser Binary Files are still installed alongside BusyBox. Could this be the reason as to why the OTA is failing if so, how do I completely remove the files?
Thanks

which SU , manager you used?
maybe you uninstalled the wrong way.
if bussybox is installed, open the remove binary and uninstall.
if not working, install the SU manager you used, go to setting of it and " remove root/binaries"

Help with Samsung s5 root!

Hello everyone!
I would like to ask you something and i REALLY HOPE someone will be able to help me out.
I have a samsung s5 sm-g900f with Android 6.0.1 and i'm trying to root it.
Actually it was supposed to be rooted when i got it -it's my bf's phone. And...aaam i don't know if it's called "rooted" when it just have custom recovery and rom? I just call it that way-. Yesterday i installed root checker and Super SU and the Super SU keeps saying that "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it" and that if i have Android 5 i should re root manually and stuff.
I have tried like everything i have found on the net since yesterday, flashing with Odin, changing recovery from twrp to cwm, and all the time the steps are made by letter, all seems fine, i see the red pirate android after the recovery reboot and all that, have tried to install the UPDATE-zip and the BETA-zip and all i could find. I tried to install Kingroot but i couldn't figure out how. My recovery nor Odin can see the file to install it and then i try to do it manually, like all apps, it says could not be installed. :crying:
I got really tired and i cave in to ask for help here. I hope the post is in the right place and if it's not please move it where it should be!
Thank you in advance!

Since you can flash custom recovery then your bootloader is already unlocked so....
Do a search for "flashing SuperSU.zip Galaxy S5" or you might need to search for "flashing SuperSU.zip in systemless mode galaxy s5". Flashing one of those should give you root and su binaries, after flashing, boot the device and open the SuperSU app and update the su binaries then reboot the device. Then after rebooting, you need to go to system settings>developer options>root access and set it to "apps and adb", then install a file manager that has a root explorer such as ES File Explorer, then open it, tap the menu button, go to the "TOOLS" tab, find "Root Explorer" and turn it on, then when you see the next menu, tap "Mount R/W", then set all listed partitions to "rw".
If you can access your SELinux profile, make sure it's set to "permissive" mode.
If you can get all of that set then you'll have access to modify and control pretty much anything you want about the device.

thank you!!!
i wont be able to try it for a few days but i'll try it as soon as i can and give you feedback on this!

So i'm trying to follow your instructions right now. I guess it's ok if i install recovery upon recovery and SU upon SU without first removing the "faulty" one?
Cause i have done the first steps a lot these days
edit: i flashed again aaaaaand nothing new happened. The SU binary is nowhere to be found :/
some say it could be a problem of the cable or the computer?
Should i try from a different pc and cable? I do not really understand it but i'll give it a try later
edit 2: i retried from another pc and another usb cable, the same happens. Does not install the SU through the recovery
I installed the SuperSU (actually enebled it again and updated it) from playstore and opened it and it says the sme thing again. Can't find su binaries and stuff.
What should i do? Is format a solution or can avoid it?
