[Q] Replacing Superuser in ROM - General Questions and Answers

Hello mates!
I am currently editing ROM for HTC Desire 300. Now, there is already SuperSU,superuser app, but I am not very satisfacted with it. I am planing to change it to Superuser (Made by ChainsDD) and I need to know following:
Are those 2 apps using same binary ?
Can I simply replace SuperSU apk in system/apps/ with ChainsDD superuser app, or I must something additionally ?
Thanks !

I think they are different binaries

Install the new superuser will prompt you to delete the old one. BTW "SuperSU" is the very best superuser access tool ever made in my opinion

Why not just uninstall the superuser first and then Flash the laster SuperSU

Man, even with S-ON you can flash ANY superuser app via custom recovery. May I ask why u prefer another app and NOT SuperSU???

I don't know. I always used Superuser (app) on my older phones and I am somehow used to it. I tried to flash it but then dead android appears (if you know what I mean) and it says instalation failed. I downloaded Superuser.zip from their official website

Can you flash the SuperSU zip? Just for figuring out whats the problem with the recovery...
If your recovery causes the error, you can choose another one HERE

Means its not caused by S-ON. You just need a flashable zip of your superuser tool. But installing via play store is th easier choice i think.

You need to install su. The rooting guide should give you all you need, just use the latest su.zip

[supply] ClockworkMod I905P

Hello, I have a phone with root, I wanted to install ClockworkMod, I tried to install with the Custom mod (Play store), but my phone is not supported.
Do you know where I can find a version of ClockworkMod that works and maybe even a guide on how to install it? How do I back up the official rom?

[Q] Root via cwm?

Guys is it possible to root after you've isntalled cwm? like for example once you're in CWM and you reboot your phone via cwm it asks if you want to root? If I select yes will it actually root? or can we flash SuperSu.zip to root?
Yes it will root, but you have to download the supersu app from google play store,or you can just flash supersu.zip, but this will be the same.

Recovery and H-Boot

Hello, first of all I'm a super newbie on this A have a bunch of questions.
-I tried to root my HTC evo 3d 3 or 4 days ago and i did it without any issues. Then installed Cyanogen Mod 10.4 (jellybean) on my device. Now i want to update it to Cyanogen Mod 11. Does it woth it? or should I stay in my current version.
-I read the threat about Cyanogen Mod 11, it seems i need to install TWRP first, my current recovery mod is ClockworkMod v6.0.0.0. Is there anything else before i install TWRP or can I just downlaod it and then install like Clockwork?
My H-Boot is 1.49.9999

Did you flash your recovery via fastboot? Easiest way to flash TWRP 2.7 will be using "flashify" from the play store. it has got a built in feature to download the right recovery for your phone, and automatically flash it after download
May be you just read the (whole) thread about your suggested rom before installing it "blind"

Helo, its me again
I tried the flashify, i was just able to flash TWRP 2.7 on my phone. But i need 2.6.3.0 (or any other recovery with SELinux support)
but cant downlaod it via flashify. So i downloaded it manually and tried to flash by using cmd and fastboot. Then I just get the "too many links" error. Can't fix it, cant find a solution that works on me..

If that doesn't work its getting a little complicated. Means you have to install a <4.4 rom and install 4ext updater (installs 4ext recovery) from plystore and then you ca install >4.4.
Updating HBOOT will not help!

ok, you need to copy the kernel file to the phone memory.
Then flash the cwm file using odin.
Then reboot to recovery and flash the kernel that is stored on your phone memory.
Then when you exit CWM, it will prompt you to root, so agree to it.
You need the right cwm for your model of ohone by the way.

I have the same question.
Does anybody have root on SM-N915FY?
I tried all kinds of cwm and twrp and latest superSU (2.46, Beta 2.52).
Recovery is rightly installed via Odin, superSU correctly flashed (without errors).
Where I made a mistake?
Thank you in advance for a reply and have a nice day!

Yes it works . I have N915FY rooted using twrp 2.8.7.0 recovery and su Beta 2.52 + Micky387 kernel.
note the it will not boot without Micky387 kernel after flashing su Beta 2.52. you must flash Micky387 kernel
I'm pretty sure this has been flogged to death but YOU NEED A ROOT ENABLED KERNEL to get root access...
This has been said many times now with new threads popping up with the same topic, for all variants...
