I used to love KingoRoot but now it installs its own SU app and has a check box you have to uncheck to try some stupid browser.

Use king root...
Just used it. No check box.
I used the apk not the pc version.
Trust me you want this or preferably SuperSU.
Stay away from King Root. It may root lots of things but its constant outgoing communication to some Chinese server makes it not worth it IMHO.
I been using the pc version, I tried the apk and it wouldnt root the android tv box I have.

I've searched high and low but yet to find the correct answer. I also can't post in the development thread due to the 10 post limit. It is what it is.
The question that remains to be answered is it possible to have Super SU flashed but still not have full root access?
Back-story: I have an EVO 4g LTE that I rooted using regaw_leinad's one click RegawMOD EVO LTE Rooter. Worked like a charm. Due to unforseen circumstances I received a new EVO LTE and, like a dummy, applied the latest OTA. Well, the one click rooter did not work as planned. Got the phone unlocked and that was it. I still needed to flash Super SU, which I did. I thought all was well and good until I tried using build.prop and found out that I did not have root access, or at least couldn't use build.prop to edit. I tried another build.prop editor and it flat out told me I had no root access, yet Titanium Backup says I do.
Any suggestions?
Moved to General Q&A section.
Still no luck
Some one suggested reflashing Super SU. I did, but still have the same issue.
Have you tried just regular super user instead of super su. Idk exactly how the super user really works besides allowing apps root access. Maybe not all apps have a command to signal super su, but have it to signal super user since its kinda top seat between those two.
Just a thought to try. Its in play store
dumbest thing lately.....miui roms
Did you open the APK to see if binaries need to be updated?

Would it be wise to install Super User with SuperSU already installed or do I need uninstall SuperSU first?
Haven't checked the APK.
It wouldn't hurt, but never messed with supersu so I don't know if it'd interfere

I'm at a loss. I installed Superuser and updated binaries yet still have the same result.
I get the following error running build.prop Editor...
"Error.java.io.FileNotFoundException:/mnt/sdcard/buildprop.tmp: open failed:ENOENT (No such file or directory)
Then I receive this error running BuildProp Editor (different program)...
"No root access is given! This Tool makes heavy use of it. You can't make changes, add propertys nor restore your build.prop file."

I'm wondering at this point if it would be possible to reset my phone to before the 1.22 update.
Download rootchecker from the market and run it to see what it says. It seems like you don't have full root.

We may be on to something here. Used rootchecker and another app to check access. Sure enough, I have complete root access...but...busybox is a different story. Downloading busybox as we speak and will post results afterwards. (May take awhile because the Sprint network at this location is SLOW).

And we have liftoff...so to speak. Busybox was the culprit. I ASSUMED during the initail root process that busy box was intalled, it wasn't.
Thanks to everyone.

Nice! Glad you got it figured out.
I installed cwm and installed the update.zip and all ws a success. SU is also installed w/out me doing it from market. I used joey krim root checker and says i dont have root privileges. Maybe thats not the correct way for this device though.

you can install "titanium backup root" from google play. if titanium backup works then your device is rooted.

i just rooted my phone using motochopper. and am trying to use ltm launcher. every time i open it, it says root context not able to get permission.
and then when i go to the superuser, it says the superuser binary (su) must be updated. and it ask if i want to recovery install or just install, but none of it works. i even downloaded supersu from chainfire and it says there is no su binary installed. so i need help getting root permission to apps so i can get lmt launcher to work.
i read an old post with they guy with the same problem and u told him to flash it with something but i am not really sure how to do that. so if u can kind of explain how to do that.
thanks

Just installing the super user app from play store doesn't root your phone.
SuperUser app only manages root permissions. It itself does not root the phone. Head over to your xda section and read there how to root your phone .

Like I've said I have already rooted my phone using motochopper. That's not the problem. The problem is not getting super user updated

Did you follow the official rooting procedure as given in your xda forum? Because if your phone is rooted then you won't face any problem related to SuperUser app and updating binary and all these stuffs.
I've had the same problem as listed above.

I suggest gaining root privileges:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/how-to-root-lenovo-a7-10-tab2-t3036251
After that, install the Titanium Backup app and uninstalling or freezing (freezing is paid version only) the feature.

Thanks, but I heard that root can't unroot and can't use SU, right?
