[Q] Alcatel OT918N: SU Binary Not Found

Hello, Im new to rooting and I recently rooted my alcatel one touch 918n or I thought I did. I installed a root checker app on google play then it said I was rooted then I looked at the details and it stated that I had some sort of busybox file but no su file or such I tried using titanium back but it said cannot find su binary. Then I tried SuperSU then it said su binary not found and we cannot install it. Any suggestions in installing the.su binary folder or should I try rooting again? Thanks if you reply info info and suggestions help a lot.

[Completed] Cant install v4a, possibly due to partial/incomplete root on vf685 smart kicka

Hi guys. I have a weird problem... I have a vf685 with android 4.4.2
Im trying to install viper audio(v4a) from this site but it fails and says its due to a problem with busy box or my device is not "completely rooted". I am rooted and used several root checker apps to confirm. I have twrp installed as well, xposed modules, root explorers, etc. Everything works fine... Except v4a and also when I open mtk droid tools the square is orange/yellow and it should be green, i have to first click to get root permission. I used king root(not kingo root) to root it, its the only one that seems to work on this phone, I didn't like the superuser app from kingroot so I searched google and found a zip file to replace kinguser with SuperSU and installed with terminal emulator. Is my device only partially rooted (if that's possible) or if not what else could it be?
P.S. its not a problem with busybox, although busybox is installed to /system/bin. Not to /system/xbin
Please help!

Su missing (no root access) on *unrootable mtk android

Hello. Good day.
Am having an infinix hot X507andriod phone. I once had full root access. But due to frequent switching off by itself and eventually stuck at boot, I had to return it to its manufacturer which robbed me of my root access.
Then, I used kingroot on Android which installed the kinguser. But the kinguser doesn't allow root access ( also checked it's settings).
Afterwards, I've been trying diff ways to root my phn to no avail. I used all the supported one-click rooting apps, also eroot, iroot, king root on PC. It was when connected to mtkdroid tool that I discovered that it was a su missing error. ( mtkdroid tool gives a yellow colour, so I think my phn is somehow rooted). Then, I ran through my phn with es file explorer and saw su at 2 diff locations; bin and xbin, both with 0.00kb size and non deletable.
Now, I shifted my attention to unrooting my device by deleting the kinguser but to no avail. And also mtkdroid tool also giving just root option( which gives su missing error when clicked). The kinguser has even turned to a system app and non deletable. I even tried 'replacing kinguser with superuser' method but no success. (Still su missing error). Note: I don't have any recovery image, so I couldn't flash SuperSU, or anything.
And any attempt to update binary through installed SuperSU will give an installation failed error.
HELP, please.
Thanks in advance.

root your device again with kingouser.. or kinguser
try kingoroot first and than install root uninstaller
that can remove system apps too so open the app and navigate to which app you want to delt n click uninstall..

How did you go about replacing it with SuperSU?
first of all have rooted with "kingroot 5.0" version and with that i replacing didnt worked and then i have unrooted and rooted with "4.9 version" and replaced by "supersume" . And i have also replaced using "replace kinguse with supersu.zip" file using terminal emulator
and second method is i have rooted with "kingoroot" and there i got the "superuser" and that superuser didnt open and that too the superuser didnt installed in system ,its installed in internal memory . so i have just uninstalled the superuser and installed supersu app form play store and when i am opening the supersu its not opening ,just stuck at the blank screen

If you removed the superuser before you installed SuperSU from play store then you've lost root, you should have left superuser installed then install SuperSU, then remove superuser after getting SuperSU installed, that way you keep root.

after uninstalling the superuser my root doesnt gone ,but its still there with any root authorisation app just i am using normally without need to grant or denying .
it will be automatically grant to each and every app on my phone with full permissions

Follow these steps.
1. Root using KINGROOT 4.8.1 or lower (not kingoroot)
2. Reboot device and confirm that it is in fact rooted.
3. Install and run SuperSu-Me
4. Wait until the process is completed.
5. Reboot again
The problem is not rooting
It's with the SuperSU , is not opening
But still I have tried but same prob, the super su will showing blank screen
At first opening after rooting or replacing with super su it's opening when after that is not opening from second time
I have also flashed the stock firmware and did again, still the same prob

Stuck between Kingroot / SuperSu

Hello,
I successfully rooted my phone (Xperia Z1 Android 5.0.1) with KingRoot 5.0.6. Afterwards I tried to replace KingRoot with SuperSu (https://forum.xda-developers.com/a310/general/how-to-remove-replace-kingroot-kinguser-t3308989). When I ran the script, I got these errors: https://a.disquscdn.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/3096/6825/original.jpg
The script finished and KingRoot was removed but SuperSu wasn't installed. The manual installation of SuperSu (and its binaries) didn't work so I tried to reinstall KingRoot with the newest version. The problem is, that I can't open (nothing happens), uninstall (greyed out) or downgrade ("application was not installed") KingRoot.
Do you have any advice what I could try instead of flashing a new rom?
I have installed TWRP recovery

Maybe you need to open the TWRP and browse to the location where your phone stores the su binary file, which is most likely stored in the:
/system/xbin , or
/system/bin
Delete the existing binary if any alongwith the other su files like daemonsu,etc , and repeat your previous installation methods.

Try deleting the kingroot app manually. If its installed, it should be somewhere in data/app or system/app.
If that's successful, then reinstall Kingroot and try rooting again. Instead of running a script to replace Kingroot with SuperSu, try using "SuperSuMe" instead. Its available on the playstore.
Ya SuperSuMe is was worked for me a while back when I needed to do the same. I think it was 2$ bucks.
