[Completed] [Q] Outdated or missing SU binary???

I'm a big noob when it comes to rooting.
So I just rooted my Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360, following the instructions on this website:
www .android.gs/root-galaxy-y-s5360
I rebooted my system after completing all the steps and I do have the superuser app! However, when I opened it for the first time, I was notified that my SU binary was outdated. So I went on the playstore, and manually updated superuser as well as downloaded superSU, thinking it would solve the program.
After this, I stopped getting the notification, but when I try to open SuperSU, it says: "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem" When I press OK, it closes the app, so I cannot even access SuperSU's settings.
Next, I tried downloading Titanium Backup to see if that would somehow solve anything, but when I open it says it cannot acquire root privileges.
I've just downloaded root checker and it says as well that I do not have proper root access!!!
Am I rooted or not? What can I do to fix this? I just want to be able to delete bootloader apps to clear some space on my device and maybe use apps like Titanium Backup or Clockwork Recovery!

Hi,
You can use this guide and ask for help in the thread also,
Legacy & Low Activity Devices > Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360 > Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General > [Tutorial][HowTo] Root Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360
I think you've missed a step.
Good luck!

I've just read the guide you attached and it doesn't really seem like I have missed anything!
Would there be a way to somehow reroot my phone? As in delete the update file from my sd card and then try another one... I'm starting to think maybe it had something to do with a bad update file that I used, although I'm not sure...

Did you ask in the thread above? It would be the best place to find help. ?

YES, SOMEONE RESPONDED BY SAYING THIS:
Don't use supersu - The playstore version doesnt work very well with our phone
Use superuser by chainsdd
Uninstall any superuser app and flash my zip in cwm with system mounted
(url that he posted but that im not allowed to paste as a new member)
You can check if your phone is rooted either by using an app that requires root permissions or by using a root checker app from playstore

If you aren't finding the help you need in that thread, you can start a new thread in your devices Q&A section, here,

Thank you for understanding.

So, essentially he's telling me to uninstall super user?
And then how do I reinstall with CWM?
I'll ask in the thread as well, but you know it never hurts to ask twice

Yes, please ask the kind Recognized Contributer in that thread trying to help.
And I've given you the Q&A link for your device for all future use.
Thank you, thread closed.

[Completed] How to upgrade Su binary for Kinguser?

My device: MMX Unite 2 A106 8Gb
ROM: Stock Kitkat 4.4.2
Root: Yes, rooted with Kingroot
Superuser installed: Kinguser 4.0.0
Problem: My Kinguser seems to want to upgrade Su. Yes, the app says its Su, wheter Su here means Su binary I can't say. (But, either way the problem persists) The problem is somehow the kinguser failed to upgrade that and kept interrupting other apps and giving a push msg "Su upgrade faied. Missing root permission". Though, the root permission does seem really missing coz other apps with root privilege are working fine. But, neither the interruption, nor the push msg ceased coming up.
Solutions tried: I tried upgrading Su binary with Superuser by ChainsDD. But, this Superuser, having outdated binary notification turned on, did not seem to need any upgradation. And, when I tried manually it gave msg "failed" in red. I tried Superuser Update Fixer too. But, it couldn't detect any problem.
Now, I tried SuperSU by Chainfire. And, to my woe, it failed repeatedly to do the initial su binary upgrade in NORMAL way. I tried flashing Update_SuperSU zip from xda developers forum but that instead of doing any good, got the Kinguser hidden and my root privilege broken.
So, now, back to top, how can I upgrade Su for Kinguser when the app itself failed????? Is there any alternative to it??? Help, kindly.....
N.B.: I'm far from being an expert. So, please say all the necessary details of what to do and how to do.

[Completed] [Q] Am I even rooted?

Hi. I have a Lenovo A7600-F tablet, and I've been trying to root it. I've heard that iRoot is the best way to root this device, so that's what I did. I went ahead and installed the APK, ran it, and clicked root. It said that it has rooted successfully, so I rebooted, and when I enter iRoot again it says I'm not rooted. However, the Superuser app is still there, and cannot be uninstalled. I click root a second time, and the Superuser app disappears. I reboot, and the Superuser app is back again and iRoot still says I'm not rooted. I installed some root apps and this is the output:
iRoot - Not rooted
Superuser - Not rooted
Root Checker Basic - Not rooted
Some other root checker - Rooted
Root Browser - Apparently rooted
Terminal Emulator - Running the command 'su' puts the number 255 before the typing space
Got Root? -
SU Exists: True
Version: 16 com.mgyun.shua.su
Root Obtained: False
I'm confused. Am I rooted? If I'm not, how do I remove the Superuser app?
By the way, when I look in my device's system files, I can see /system/app/irootsu.apk and /system/bin/su.
halp.

[Help] Make Custom Recovery For Karbonn Titanium S201 [Stock Boot & Recovery with me]
Hi Guys....
Can anyone help me???
I have rooted my phone somehow using both IRoot[pc] and Kingroot apk.
But the thing is i don't like kingroot for granting su access so i found one script to replace Kingroot with
SuperSu on top... And i succeeded.
But i found one problem after reboot..
SuperSu Promt was missing when i open up root apps like Root Explorer...and it stuck there for infinite time
and i have to force close it..
But in the Supersu App, i chose an option Default access > Promt to Grant and it worked but without Notification.. and that i what i do not want.. as it will be vulnerable to my device...
So guys , Please help me so that I cant Flash SuperSu zip For Clean Root.. As other methods dont work for rooting, only the above method...
I hope you all Understand...
