Let me preface this by saying I am fairly new with rooting and flashing /flamesuit. I have a sprint galaxy tab that I rooted (or tried to root I should say) using z4root. I applied a permanent root and everything went fine. I then installed rom manager to help with putting clockworkmod and flashing roms. My tab has the superuser app on it, but rom manager still displays an error message that says my tab needs to be rooted before I can use it, I cant even install cwmod. At this point I'd just like to start over and use a different method to root the tab but everytime I try to remove the root using z4 the tab vibrates a few times before force closing. If there is something I could use to restore my tab without clockworkmod I would be very appreciative if someone could bring it to my attention.
Thanks
Try using SuperOneClick to UNroot your tab.
do a search of the forums for z4root
Hi
Many people complained last days that they have problem with SuperSU 0.99 app.
They cant update the binary and phone reboots its self after "update failed" message
I got an HTC One S with S4 cpu last week and i got the new Jelly Bean Update 4.1.1
Then i unlocked my bootloader and installed TWRP custom recovery with One_S_All-In-One_Kit_v3.0 tool kit
After that i tryed to Root the phone with SuperSU 0.99.
Seems worked fine until i tryed to update my binary.
I get message "update failed" and my phone restarts.
I tryed to wipe and reflash the root but still same.
I even tryed to remove SUPERSU from System/App but with no luck. It keeps coming back even if i
removing it and revert everything to stock its still in SYSTEM.
Now i found this new Superuser version and flashed it and now my phone works fine and updating binary.
No more phone restart.
Even my SuperSU 0.99 is gone from system.
How TO:
Download superuser from this page http://androidsu.com/superuser/
Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip
Then boot into recovery
Flash Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip
Restart and voila the root works...
Hope i helped you guys.. Good Luck
Version 3.1.3 is reported to work better.
And doubt it really needed a new thread starting its discussed in most rom treads.
I started this thread just because of the issue SUPERSU 0.99 brings to HTC One S with Jelly Bean update.
I hope i can help someone because i didnt find any solution to my problem until i flashed superuser and it solved my problem.

I agree that this adds clutter, but I have been lightly following the threads for the JB ROMs and tried using superuser (though not the rc) without it working (still unable to update system). It's good to have this kind of solution in its own thread but general would probably be a better section.
Sent from my HTC One S Special Edition using xda app-developers app
This doesn't belong in the dev section for multiple reasons
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
Im sorry i didnt see that it was Development section. If someone can move it pls do so.
everyone uses SU...... this is very important for everyone using JB... leave it in here...
I feel it belongs here... this is where SU apps are in the development section... SO, this is where it should stay... (that is just my opinion)
I never want to start this thread like an development because im not a developer.
Reason is that i want to share my issue with anyone who is facing the same problem as i did.
Just like i said if someone think this thread doesn´t belong here then admins can move it to right section.
Updated to JB with OTA yesterday night.
Short version:
-Initially rooted with CWM recovery-> flashed MoDaCo stock recovery
-Apply OTA
-Flash CWM recovery
-Used CWM recovery to flash SuperSU 0.99 zip
-Uninstall/reinstall SuperSu from the Market
When starting SuperSU, it asks for update, if agree -> reboot.
BUT
When using root needing apps, like Titanium backup or FX file manager, they ask for root permission through SU and everything runs normally.
So SuperSU seems to work, only the front end app has some bug. I'm staying with that config waiting for an update.
Hi, same problem here on S3 cpu. Is this method works on S3 cpu as well? Thx for replying.
Hi. I think I have a problem with SuperSU (or something else??). I first started SuperSU last thursday (31.1.2013.). It ask me to update binary, I hit OK, and then it took about half hour to restart. System then recovered, and everything seem to be OK, but it's not!
When I connect my HTC One S to PC I only see files created (photos, videos) until 31.01.2013. Also, when I run Settings -> Memory com.android.settings crashes.
What to do?
I'm new to android. Plese help!

Any idea on how to get SuperSU work instead of SuperUser? I purchased SuperSU in the play store and I think it just looks better...
hi all
i installed the 4.4.2 kitkat on my device the indian version
i tried to root it but no luck
i tried this way in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102677
first of all everything seems fine , the supersu installed and can give root permissions
but after a while it can't give permissions
just like there is no supersu
it says the app gets the permission but it can't get it
i dont know what is the problem or 4.4.2 still not get root ?
and if there is another way to root let me know
thank you
more than 90 views and no respones :crying:
ok it dosen't matter. i figure out what is the problem and i solve it :laugh:
the problem was because the KNOX is installed in the new 4.4.2 kitkat update But it was hidden and you cannot find it in the app drawer
and if you check the app manager in the setting you will find it as KSML
KNOX prevent the root from working and the option that appear when i open the SuperSu app to disable the KNOX seems to be not effective
i tried a lot of things to remove it but i end up with fails every time :crying:
the sloution seems simple just remove knox and you will be ok and the root will works great
but
the problem was how to delete it with no root
i noticed in my device after i flash the root file and install an app that require root the root works on this app just for less than 10 mintues and then dosen't work at all
- so i flash the kitkat room again and turn on the device
- i download the root explorer app from the google play
- root my device
after rooting, the supersu app give force close but i went to google play and update it from there and it works fine
- lunched the root explorer and give it root permission (for me it can take the permission)
- searched about KNOX
- then deleted everything related to KNOX
- again search about KSML and delete it as well
and after that everythings goes right
a installed more than 3 apps that required root and all works flowlessly
and the root cheacker app finally says i succesfuly root my device (before was say a havent rooted my device)
damm it looks easy but it freaks me out to made the root working
KNOX really is a great saftey app but very annoying in matter of rooting
i hope anyone face my problem to try my way and it could works
thanks to me to reply me
Another thing I noticed
the root dosen't work if you change the language from English.
I don't know why???
After update to official 4.4.2, I just flashed CWM 6.0.3.6 with Odin, restarted in recovery mode and installed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.01.zip in CWM.
Reboot tablet and start SU app; the app detects KNOX and asks to disable it. Just answer yes and you are ready in less than 5 minutes.
I must admit I first used Phil_Z recovery and then SU-app hung when disabling KNOX. After switching to CWM is worked right away.
I have N8010.
Hi guys,
something really odd just happened. I have a rooted deviced - I rooted as soon as I received it - and it's been fine till yesterday when I installed the latest update 11.0-XNPH44S and all of a sudden it seems I have lost my root privileges, it's like I am not root anymore and none of the apps requiring root run anymore even SuperSU is telling me that "there is no SU binary installed and SuperSu cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upgraded to android 4.3 you need to manually re-root!" What on earth is going on?!?!
That's completely normal, OTA updates remove root. Just flash SuperSU again and you'll be golden.

Hi there guys!
I do have a s4 mini lte and for the past week I've tried almost everything when it comes to rooting my mobile.
THe first thing I tried was Kingoroot and then Kingroot but it looked like it wasn't possible to root it using them.
Then I installed CWM with Odin(I tried with TWRP but got Red error on Odin). I flashed the zip with CWM and when the phone booted up, it looked for updates for 5-10 secs and then I opened SuperSU (it was installed) it kept saying that there were no binary found.
I had to download the latest version of Supersu (2.79) and when I tried to flash it, I got "You lost root access"
FIx it? Yes/No
I pressed no since it was suggested on other forums to do so, but then I still got the same problem with SuperSU ( no binary found)
I did wipe cache,tried also with factory reset,disabled and then re-enabled supersu,updated it from playstore, but still no root.
How the hell am I supposed to root this stupid phone?
Thank you
