So about a year ago i rooted my galaxy S4, and somehow along the way it became not rooted. I don't know how....I think it must have been the phone updating itself. I downloaded root checker and verified that my phone is not rooted.
I tried using towelroot and everything went normal except when i hit the make it rain button it told me that my phone isn't currently supported.
I googled, youtubed, and searched this forum and somewhere along the way i learned that SuperSU might be the problem. when i go and hit the Supersu icon on my phone a message box appears and says "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 - consult the relevant forums for your device!
I tried to update it through the google play store and it didnt work, also tried to go into my files and uninstall the app that way but the uninstall button and clear data buttons are greyed out.
My device is the Samsung Galaxy S4 on verizon
SCH-I545

SU Binary
For me I just followed the root instructions on the S4 page and when it said no SU Binary detected/needs to be updated I just let SU binary install through SuperSU from the play store.

So i rooted my Samsung galaxy ring SPH-M840 with framaroot (the most recent version) and didnt know about the OTA survival option in superuser so when i updated i lost root or partially lost root (im not sure). i cant update the binary with superuser or supersu, i cant unistall superuser either.
Now when i try to root with the Gandalf exploit that worked the first time it throws a #13 error and fails
I tried every method under the sun that i know of to try and root this thing again but nothing has worked.
Any advice would be very helpful.
Hi,
It could be there's no root yet on the version you've updated too. But I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your device and issue, so you will need to ask for help here,

Okay, so I have rooted my device and when I opened super USER SU I followed the correct steps but it failed to disable knox. (My device was rooted according to root checker) so I went on to figure out a way to Uninstall knox, I did so and knox is now nowhere to be found. I reset my device after trying once more because SU said installation failed. Then I looked for ways to unroot my device. I tried but was not successful. After this my tablet was freshly reset and I tried to root again using Oden 3. This did not work and root checker said it was not rooted. After all of this I would just like to have knox back, (I Uninstalled it) have my device unrooted and back to factory conditions. I have searched and could not find an efficient way to do this. Please help me. :crying: (SM-T320 Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro)

Hey guys, I tried unrooting my Note 3 (no specific carrier) via the SuperSU app (full unroot).
My device didn't reboot and when I tapped the SuperSU icon, the app did not open and an error message came up.
I then restarted my device manually, afterwards the SuperSU app was gone but the device was still in a custom state according to settings.
Also the software update was not possible, it also said the device was still modified.
I then tried installing the SuperSU app again, but now it says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
Please help guys, this is crap.
UPDATE: I made a complete reset and updated back to stock via Odin. Now it works fine and the status is back to official. Knox Warranty Void though^^ 0x1. Smooth!

Hello Developers. I have Samsung Galaxy Alpha SM-G850F and i want to root it..
I treid all method (i guess). I also tried Rooting method of CF AUTO ROOT FILE which i did using by Odin tool.
But the problem is after flashing the file when phone reboots it shows SuperSu on my phone but when i open it to check whether its rooted or not it ask me to update binary. And when i try to update binary from Normal Mode it says installation failed.
I also checked with Root Checker Basic App and it also says that Your phone does not have root access in red lines.
I really want to use my phone's deep features but this wont me allow.
I really expect a reliable solution from here cause this is the only place where i can find some experts , pls Devs help me to root it. ( forgot to mention i also tried the one click root method, and very similar apps to root itself by phone.) Once root checker showed that my phone is rooted when i installed a app KINGUSER , and it was working to give root access to some apps. But i want to root with SuperSu. Got really frustrated:crying: by trying this hundreds of time pls help me. (And sorry for Bad English)

While I have found tons of tutorials for rooting various models of the s5, I haven't found mine yet. Here's the details:
Galaxy s5
model: SC-04F
carrier: NTT Docomo (Japan)
android 5.0 Lollipop
kernel version: 3.4.0-5605451
KNOX version: 2.3
Admittedly I am in over my head. It's my first time attempting a root and this model seems to be a tricky one. In my search I found a few automated solutions for the SC-04F model of gs5, but they were all meant for android 4.4.2. I decided to give it a try despite this difference (not a good idea, I'm sure). This method revolved around flashing with Oden using a CF-Auto Root file. Oden flashed the device, restarted it and gave me the green "passed" notification. After flashing I used Root Checker to verify, and sure enough it was rooted.
So far so good, but then I opened SuperSu (which installed as part of the automated flash) and it needed to update binaries. I tried the "normal" installation method, which failed, and then did some reading that suggested updating the SuperSu app from the Play Store. It did need an update, so I updated. This changed nothing. Just out of curiosity I check Root Checker again, and all the sudden I was no longer correctly rooted.
I have tried repeating the flash process from the beginning to no success. I haven't been able to root it since. Nor have I been able to use SuperSu to "Full Unroot" the device. I would like to have one or the other; establish root or completely unroot. I seem to be somewhere in the middle and it's very frustrating.
Any pointers?
