Hello guys, I am running unofficial CM12.1 on my LENOVO A6000 plus. It's running really very good in terms of performance as well as battery backup, but I am facing some problems.. Even though I have allowed root access to 'apps and adb', some root apps are not working while some are. For ex. Greenify is working great as well as root explorer, in there, I can mount system rw temporarily and delete or add something in system folder. But I can't do the same thing with built in CyanogenMod file manager. Rom toolbox is also not working. I have previously used Xperia U, rooted, bootloader unlocked, running CM11 or stock rom and never had such a problem.. Even on A6000 plus, running stock rom gave me full root access. A lot of searching only reveals me that CM12.1 comes pre rooted. Then why root is not working for me? In terminal emulator if I type 'su', $ changes to #, that means I have root access. My thinking says, it might be because my root partition is not mounted as rw by default that's why I am facing these problem.. What you, more experienced guys think?
Flash the SuperSU zip

I rooted my Zoom wifi long ago. Flashed all the various Tiamat kernels and followed bigrushdog's 3.1 update with no problems. I recently flashed the CWR RC 4 over the updated 4.0.1 version in Rom Manager. I now see that all my apps requiring root don't work. I have Super user app but don't get the request to grant su anymore. I tried upgrading Super user within the app but it fails and writes a zip update to SD card which is supposed to be flashed through Recovery but doesn't (I suspect because the file is a 0 byte file!).
Any suggestions on how to get root back?
[Solved]: Seems it was a result of trying to upgrade Superuser that I lost root. See the last post below and the solution Almighty1 offers. It worked and I have root back......

There is a problem with the latest recovery version in Rom Manager. The recovery from solarnz is probably not at fault, but maybe the interaction of the two. You wil lneed someone with more knowledge than me to help you get root back, but this issue really needs attention. There are several updates to apps that seem to be breaking our Xooms, and there should be pinned warnings or the developers should be making everyone aware of these conflicts as soon as they find out. I had problems and I'm sure a lot of other folks have have problems with these incompatible app updates as well.
Thanks for that. It almost seems like Superuser is "degrading" in the sense that I had a number of apps reflected in the Superuser app as having been granted root (but not Rom Manager). However, I couldn't add new apps to it. And when I cleared Superuser data and reinstalled it, none of the apps that required root (and which had worked before) would work.
I also think that the writing of a 0 byte zip update file by the Superuser app indicates a problem.
I suspect the solution may lie with fastboot and re-pushing Superuser and CHMOD(?) file permissions but like you, I am nervous to play with these sort of things. My Xoom is working and until I have the need to change the ROM, root doesn't matter to me....
after reading this I checked and also had lost root. I had not checked after after flashing 4.0 in rom manger. Superuser was still there but my apps did not have access. I tried flash a new recovery, reflashing Tiamat nether worked. Anyway from adb
adb remount
adb push su /system/bin/
adb shell
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
exit
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
I then rebooted and had root... updated Superuser as I had an older one in my platform-tools and all is well I then flashed the lastest recovery in rom manger and still have root.
Hope this helps
Thanks. I will give it a try this evening when I get back from work.
Also found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14643716&postcount=340 which seems similar to your solution.
This is why I hate CWR. I wish we had Amon RA recovery.
I rooted my m2 by downgrading to 4.3jb from 4.4.2kk then rooted with towelroot apk. I then updated ota to 4.4.2 then 4.4.4 checking root each time. Installed supersu but didn't update binaries til end after final update then I forced root with flashtool. Updated supersu and installed as system app. Checked with root checker pro root confirmed installed xposed busybox ect with no problems installed e.s. file explorer with root access allowed and selected mount rw in es explorer. Also installed phils touch cwm recovery for l/b off here no problems now thought I had full r/w permission not r/o as when I try to install zip files ect from recovery it won't do it says it is r/o also ran the ric killer script said it worked yet still r/o. Also I can unlock my bootloader as it says yes. Is this the easiest way to get full root and what stops working after unlock I.e
camera Walkman x reality ect as I use all these. Any help or advice greatly received I have looked on here googled it but I just seem to be going round in circles I know it's something simple or I wouldn't have exposed and semi root.

hello xda
this is my first post so if it's wrong to post here please warn me.
So here is my problem
my phone is galaxy note n7000 build number lsz
1. installed partiton via odin to increase my internal application setup folder to 6 gb
that worked great
2.installed philz touch 5.06
that worked too
3. installed kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note/development/rom-t2938649
3.installed nightowl rom and gapps from above
that worked too
i opened developers options and arrange root access to apps and adb
i can use phone with no problem but when i try supersu or superuser or busybox or titanium backups my phone says u need to have root access
then i tried xxx.signed.zip folders to root again and again, no good so far
i installed a root checker from googleplay it says rooted check but i cant use anything root related
and when i try folder manager it says open root access so i say yes and it freezes there
i know its a little complicated (at least for me because its for my first attempt i was using 4.1.4 stock rom) but if u read and help me i' appreciate
sorry for my english

thank you my friend you're a lifesaver :good::good::good:
Got a problem with my Huawei Y530 (for which there is no forum!), that I can't get past. It's running stock ICS 4.3. I rooted the phone but obviously, without recovery, since recoveries and custom ROMs don't exist for the Huawei Y530, far as I know. I am using the latest SuperSU Pro (4.6) for superuser, and "Root Checker" confirms I'm rooted. The problem is, things like Link2SD mount scripts won't work, because the system is read only. I installed the latest version of BusyBox, FWIW, and it (eventually) said it installed correctly. I tried running Terminal Emulator commands to mount the system as rw, but got blocked with the error "read only filesystem".
Is there a way to mount the system as r/w, on stock ROM and without a custom recovery/bootloader installed?
Hi,
I can't find a relevant thread on XDA for your device and issue, but this thread here is the goto thread for your device, you could ask about that here,

Good luck!
Hi guys. I have a weird problem... I have a vf685 with android 4.4.2
Im trying to install viper audio(v4a) from this site but it fails and says its due to a problem with busy box or my device is not "completely rooted". I am rooted and used several root checker apps to confirm. I have twrp installed as well, xposed modules, root explorers, etc. Everything works fine... Except v4a and also when I open mtk droid tools the square is orange/yellow and it should be green, i have to first click to get root permission. I used king root(not kingo root) to root it, its the only one that seems to work on this phone, I didn't like the superuser app from kingroot so I searched google and found a zip file to replace kinguser with SuperSU and installed with terminal emulator. Is my device only partially rooted (if that's possible) or if not what else could it be?
P.S. its not a problem with busybox, although busybox is installed to /system/bin. Not to /system/xbin
Please help!
