[Q] No apps on superuser list

Hi, I just root my phoneabout a couple minutes ago. I have the superuser icons ib my All Apps screen. However when I open the superuser, there's not any apps on there. Is this normal? Am I rooted?
Thanks for the quick reply!

There aren't any apps listed in there because you probably haven't given or denied root access for any programs yet. Install any app that needs root, run it, it should ask for root access. When you give or deny it, it will show up in the superuser list.

You will probably need to root your device again. If titanium backup cannot access root then your not rooted. Just to be safe, GO to goolge play and download a root checker. Run the root checker, it will verify root or not.
Otherwise, use HTCsupertool to root your device.

Superuser permissions
There aren't any apps listed in in super user. When I try to install any app that needs root, it super user not asking for root access.
Please help.

Did you try any other super app. Remove the one you have and try another.

[Q] GS4 installing superuser

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.

Root checker says I have root but apps can't gain root access.

Hello I have an unusual problem. I am modifying the ROM for my Rockchip device (rk3066). I want the firmware image to flash already rooted. I have installed busy box, su binary, and Superuser.apk. When I flash the ROM then use Rootchecker, it says I have root access. However, when I use an app that requires root it cannot gain root access. Can anyone explain to me what is going wrong?
Please be very basic in any explanation as I am a super noob trying to learn.
Thanks in advance for any help given. It will be very appreciated.

There might be something wrong with the superuser app itself. Try using SuperSU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Does it work?

Basically you need to tick "prompt", if you had ticked "deny for all" , superuser will not prompt you for answer when an app needs root, so have it on "prompt" in super user settings, If superuser or SU icon is in apps drawer , open it and check its settings menu.
How to get Root Access?
a) Update SU Binaries, reboot
b) Check Development Option for Root Access settings or Performance settings for Superuser Settings
c) Flash Super Su Zip in Recovery

install supersu

So I tried updating the su binary from the superuser app. It says it installed OK but then says it can't gain root access.
I also tried using Supersu app. It says that there is no su binary installed. But, it definitely is there.
I also tried simple root checker. It verified that busy box is installed.

If you have a recovery installed unroot and reflash the binary n app

I appreciate all the input, but I think this is going off point. I have no trouble routing my tablet with the told that are out there. I can't build it into a complete ROM. I am trying to build a custom ROM
with the root built in.

Root not routing / tools not told

ZTE V768 (Concord) and V768G (Midnight) Development

Currently, we only have root access on these devices. I am currently working on a recovery build, and I have plans for CM7 and CM9 builds in the future. Here's how to consistently and easily get root access on the Tracfone V768G and almost certainly V768 (I have a V768G):
Root
The only functional root exploit I have found is via an obscure Chinese program called VROOT. While there is much speculation in other threads as to the nature of this program (and potential for malware), I have had success with it on multiple occasions where no other tool I tried worked. I have seen no evidence that it installs anything other than its strange app market (as an easily-removable user app!) and a superuser program called KingRoot (as a system app, where it should be). While it appears entirely benign and functional, I personally prefer to use superSU. Therefore, the below instructions will include the removal of KingRoot and installation of SuperSU in its place. It is assumed that you have ZTE's preloaded drivers installed and that you have confirmed adb is working.
Unfortunately, VROOT is a Windows-only application, though it works perfectly in a Windows virtual machine (that's how I use it!).
Download VROOT and the newest SuperSU
Install and run VROOT. It might take more than one try to succeed.
Confirm that KingRoot is installed, and uninstall the 100% Chinese app that is also present. At this point, your device is rooted. You can simply keep KingRoot, but I would advise continuing to install superSU.
Extract "common/Superuser.apk" from the downloaded SuperSU zip and install it on the device via adb or the file manager.
Open SuperSU and grant it root permissions when KingRoot prompts you. Swipe over to the settings pane and select "Switch superuser app".
Follow its instructions. After rebooting the device, simply install SuperSU again, open it, update the su binary when prompted, and select "Install SuperSU inte /system" from the settings pane. You're done!

VROOT installs a app "Superuser.apk" not Kingroot
Hi, thanks for the info.
When I install VROOT via windows, it installs an app called 'Superuser' which I suppose it is to manage root access permissions for other apps. I see no 'KingRoot' app as you mentioned. I only see this 'Superuser' app and a Chinese app.
Either way, this 'Superuser' app appears to not working properly because I am not getting any prompt to either deny or grant root acess to apps like TitaniumBackup or even Root Checker.
I can get root acess via ADB Shell with the su command, but on the phone the 'Superuser' app from VROOT is not prompting me to allow/deny root access.
Any suggestions?? Thanks!!

I was working on getting a custom recovery,but then I ended up getting a Nexus 4 (and then later a nexus 5) and abandoned it. Ill take another look at it. Now that I dont need the phone its less of an issue if I brick it,so I can be a little more agressive.
Try this thread. This is what worked for my V768

Edit: was able to root with kingoroot my bad.

i need a custom recovery for it please

Just got an Android phone few days ago..

And already root problems...
I've been following this video from a dev guy in here, but can't find the post right now. Anyways, i did exactly every thing he did, step by step.
The only difference between him and I, is that his baseband-version is: "G965FXXS9DTD7" while my baseband-version is "G965FXXU7DTA3"
In his video as i've givin' a link to at top of my post, in his description he have everything needed to be loaded, and also a webside;
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s9-plus/firmware/#SM-G965F
Where i can find other versions, but mine is not on the list.... So i just tried his version and hoped for the best.
But now when i try to go into /data by the app called "Root Explorer" it says my phone is not rooted. But when i go into Magisk Manager, it's all updated to latest version and all good.
I don't know how to check what i did wrong or how to fix it... Can someone please help me out here. And maybe guide me step by step or direct me to an already existing guide..
PS:
If this thread is in the wrong section, please move it to the right one - this forum is also a bit confussing for me, but maybe thats because of the headache....

Martin S

Download root checker and see if yo have root if you do check inside magisk , maybe you blocked root Explorer's permission by accident

It says "Congratiolations! Root Access is properly installed on this device"
But how can i block Ecplorer's permission? Haven't done anything in the Magisk Settings? :S
I need(ed) to move 1 app i downloaded (GPS spoofing) to /system/apps like in the guide im following, but the "Root Explorer" said when i was trying to, that my phone wasn't rooted.

If root explorer asked for permission and you skipped it may have not given it root access , you could try reinstalling root explorer and give it root permissions right away

When you just said that i came in mind, when i downloaded the app and opened it, it had a "allow" or "not" window to storage, but when i tried to click on that some came up for a second when iu was tapping on the screen.
Must have been that, for now i reinstalled the app and it came up again, where i could grant Superrights.
BIG THANKS!

Glad it worked!
