Just flashed the factory Rom and got everything set up. I flashed TWRP then tried to flash the latest SuperSu to get root and it installed it but when I went to open it it would say that I don't have any binaries installed and I can't uninstall SuperSU either. I tried to install CWM Recovery and refresh it through there but I still have the same issues... :/ What am I doing wrong or how can I get my phone rooted properly? Thanks for any help!

You need to flash a kernel that is permissive and then flash SuperSU there are a few in the forums if you search you shall find them
Instead of a permissive kernel, simply use Chainfire's AutoRoot, which will flash a more secure kernel and SuperSU automatically. You don't even need TWRP for this. http://download.chainfire.eu/363/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hammerhead-hammerhead-nexus5.zip
Go to http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ to get AutoRoot for other devices.

So I flash this in ADB? Is the secure kernel the same as stock? and if I were to flash a customer kernel like FK would I lose root? Sorry for all the questions just trying to clarify some stuff so I'm not completely ignorant to what I'm doing lol
There's a batch file that does it. You run it in the bootloader, not ADB.
FK has a Lollipop compatible kernel, but try and root stock first. Then flash FK's Lollipop version (it's different) and run CF AutoRoot again. Just to be sure things are working. Personally, I'm going to use stock for a while, understand the performance and then try FK or EX or whatever, so I'll be able to tell the difference.

Hi every one,
I currently am using an LG G2 from tmobile (801 model). My device says its rooted but it doesnt have root access because I forgot to flash supersu binaries before i flashed the 4.4.2 version of the software. But now my custom recovery doesnt exist anymore.
I've tried using LG flash tools to flash back to 4.2. stock settings to start over but I am unable to do so for some reason. LG Flash tools isnt able to recognize my G2 in download mode. My computer is able to recognize my G2 when it is turned on though.
So is there anyway to flash a custom recovery without root access?
Or is there anyway to flash supersu binaries without a custom recovery using ADB?
I've tried trouble shooting with multiple threads and multiple downgrade methods but none of them are giving me any luck. I really want to flash a custom rom on my LG g2 and have the benefits of root access.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All you need to do is install the towelroot.apk to give instant temporary root. Then install SuperSU from the dev thread here on xda or from the play store. After installing SuperSU go to its settings and select install as a system app and reboot when finished. It might take 2 attempts before it successful (it always takes me 2 tries). Then uninstall towelroot as it's no longer required since you've gained permanent root. Now install the autorec.apk and you'll install TWRP recovery. Now that you have root and recovery and have control of your device you can customise to taste. In my case I always install busybox and a terminal emulator so I can further fine tune my system.
I hope this helps

still got issues :/

However even when i go into supersu, it keeps saying my binaries are not up to date. So i cant install anything and I cant do anything to install a custom recovery without root access.

So you have installed Towelroot, achieved root then having issues installing the SuperSU.apk this is indeed an issue. Towelroot should allow for it to be installed. When you install Towelroot do you get the warnings from the installer and Lookout that the package contains an exploit? Do you interrupt or stop it from fully installing when you see the warnings? The only thing I can think of is you are doing something wrong when installing towelroot which is prohibiting it from doing its job in gaining root.
I have used kingroot to root my phone, as i was trying to change the super user to SuperSU, i deleted kinguser, it removed my root, Now when running kingroot it acts as though i am already rooted, how can i fix this?
This is the first root i have used that worked because i have a Mediatek phone. Please help Orion pro x500a 4.4.2 android
I think i may still have bootloader.... http://prntscr.com/5rha93
I have SuperSu as a system app, but no binary. It fails every time
I think i could flash a custom recovery the flash supersu, but would that have the binary?
If i could do this what program would i use?
I dont even know
Anyone?

Can you boot to system at all? Since you have prerooted there might be enough vulnerability left to use cydiaimpactor to try getting root again, it attacks the android master key exploit and one other abd will not harm your device if the nethod doesn't work. Have you tried flashing superuser or superSU by ADB to your device, if you can get a recovery installed then you are rooted, if you can get to recovery mode then you can flash a ROM you can also flash a ROM through ADB but you've got to be sure you're rooted before you can do ADB.

I can boot to system, i can use android normally, i have supersu but no binary, it is a system app, it stayed through a factory reset. I have a bootloader of some sort. I posted a image of it, i can try to get a clearer one if needed. As i said it is a mediatek phone, what program would i use to flash? Couldnt i just flash supersu? Instead of whole rom, i will flash rom if there is a supported one.
N_psycho_PD_uh? said:
If you already have CWM or other custom recovery then yes you can flash a superuser or superSU zip through recovery. Did you try the cydiaimpactor for pc to see if you could get root binaries to act correctly, if it fails it won't damage anything. this program puts the su binaries into system so you can download superuser and install from playstore, cydiaimpactor is supposed to work on most android devices.

hello guys
i have a Samsung galaxy S6 g920F running on 6.0.1 with baseband G920FXXU3DPB6.
I have previously rooted my phone using CF-autoroot. Suddenly today when i tried to use superSU, it said "There is no SU binary installed, and superSU cannot install it. This is a problem!. If you have upgraded to Android 5.0, you need to manually re-root".
As i said above that i have rooted after i updated to 6.0.1 and was working till yesterday. i don't know what happen today that it started giving me this error.
I even downloaded latest cf-autoroot from its site and flash it through odin, but still no luck.
Can anyone please help me.
Thanks.

can't we use on stock kernel only as it was before instead of flashing a custom kernel..?
I have successfully unlocked the bootloader my H83010i version.
I started down the path to root my device using H83010d tot file but stopped because I didn't know if when I upgrade to android 7.0 versions if I would lose root?
Therefore what is the easiest way to get to H83020f rooted?
How do I go from H83010i to H83020f and be rooted?
I have rooted a lot of samsung galaxy phones but this is my first LG so I am struggling a bit to understand how to upgrade. I assume if I do an OTA update it will install the latest version? I checked for system updates and it just said there is an update and to start downloading it but I don't know which update version that is?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

First of all, no need to use 10D tot file anymore. Download and install 20A kdz front autoprime located here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/stock-h830-20a-rom-flashable-zips-imgs-t3511294
Once that's installed, set up your system and then follow the following guide to get TWRP an root:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/root-h830-running-30a-nougat-t3524322
After you have TWRP and root download the flashable 20F zip and install from TWRP (make sure to delete recovery from boot.p file after installing and also flash root). Here's the link to 20F:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/stock-h830-20f-rom-flashable-zips-imgs-t3592855
If you follow all of that, you will be on stock 20F, rooted and with TWRP. After that, I recommend checking out the following custom kernel and installing that and using magisk instead of SuperSU. Kernel located here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/jan-17-2017-20c-deodexed-kernels-t3539611
Hopefully that helps, if you need more help just ask.
Thanks so much for taking the time to write me this great information. I have a question about the (make sure to delete recovery from boot.p file after installing and also flash root). ???????? Is this explained clearly somewhere? I don't know what I should do.

After flashing the 20F version from TWRP, it creates a recovery from boot.p file in the system directory. If you don't delete this file before rebooting, you will lose TWRP. So, after doing the recowvery method to get root and TWRP and then after you flash the 20F from TWRP, after it's done flashing go to main menu of TWRP, click on mount, check system, go back to main menu, click advanced, click file manager and go-to system directory and click on the recovery from boot.p file and then delete. Now you can reboot without losing TWRP. Then you can flash SuperSU or magisk for root
Your Device software cannot be checked for corruption. Lock the bootloader
Thanks for the fast responses. After many hours of studying the posts and I finally got my LG G5 running on H830_20F_DeOdexed rom withh Asgard version 4.5 kernal and rooted with SuperSU v2.74.
However I keep getting the "your device software cannot be checked for corruption. lock the bootloader message upon starting up. see attachment
Does everyone get that message? Or is there a way to remove it?
I thought the Asgard kernal said it got rid of that?

You'll always have that message, no current way around it. Asgard kennel will allow you to pass safety net if you use magisk instead of SuperSU for root as it hides that the bootloader is unlocked from the system.

No. I said currently there is no way to get rid of that message unless you lock the bootloader and you can't do that after modifying the system (i.e. installing TWRP and root). I said magisk will allow you to pass safety net. All that does is allow you to use apps that won't work with root / unlocked bootloader. If you don't use apps like Android pay or other apps that don't work when rooted, it really isn't necessary to switch from SuperSU to magisk. Anyways, if you're interested in magisk use Google (or XDA search) and search magisk XDA.
Hello XDA !
This is my first post..sorry for my bad english.
I bought a S7 (SM-G930F) Android 8.0 and i rooted it then i noticed that was just systemless root.. and it's totally useless for me because i want to uninstall system apps and change build.prop..
so I flashed the stock rom and reflashed TWRP, then I executed a command to force SuperSU to install in system
(echo SYSTEMLESS=false>>/data/.SuperSU)
and I installed SuperSU.zip..but it stucks on bootloop.. I tried many different SuperSU.zip versions even a modified version for system mode root, but nothing works..
by the way I installed no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1.zip before installing SuperSU.zip !

i havent rooted an S7 in a while, but dont you just flash twrp in Odin with the reboot box unchecked and once the flash completes, reboot into twrp which will present you a slider that says something along the lines of "slide to allower SU access" or something like that. Once youve done that, then you flash magisk in TWRP, boot, install busybox, and you should then be asked if you want to grant SU access to busybox, if it does that, youre all set

I did everything in the correct way, i flashed twrp with reboot option disabled.. and i formated data then reboot to recovery and I installed no verity and after that i installed SuperSU and it's done successfully but it ended up with a bootloop..
also I tried to install a system mode supersu.zip and it freezes TWRP and stuck on "installing"
I think literally I can't do the system root.. so i did systemless root.

im well aware that TWRP is a custom recovery, i remember when it first launched and people were converting from CWM to TWRP. Anyways, if youve successfully installed twrp, try factory resetting the device and then booting. You should only need to flash magisk in TWRP and busy box in the OS once booted
