[Completed] [Q] Lost root after OTA update, cant get it back, Any Help.?

So i rooted my Samsung galaxy ring SPH-M840 with framaroot (the most recent version) and didnt know about the OTA survival option in superuser so when i updated i lost root or partially lost root (im not sure). i cant update the binary with superuser or supersu, i cant unistall superuser either.
Now when i try to root with the Gandalf exploit that worked the first time it throws a #13 error and fails
I tried every method under the sun that i know of to try and root this thing again but nothing has worked.
Any advice would be very helpful.

Hi,
It could be there's no root yet on the version you've updated too. But I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your device and issue, so you will need to ask for help here,

Good luck!

[Completed] How do I root my Samsung Galaxy S4 when Supersu says There is no Su binary installed

So about a year ago i rooted my galaxy S4, and somehow along the way it became not rooted. I don't know how....I think it must have been the phone updating itself. I downloaded root checker and verified that my phone is not rooted.
I tried using towelroot and everything went normal except when i hit the make it rain button it told me that my phone isn't currently supported.
I googled, youtubed, and searched this forum and somewhere along the way i learned that SuperSU might be the problem. when i go and hit the Supersu icon on my phone a message box appears and says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!
I tried to update it through the google play store and it didnt work, also tried to go into my files and uninstall the app that way but the uninstall button and clear data buttons are greyed out.
My device is the Samsung Galaxy S4 on verizon

SU Binary
For me I just followed the root instructions on the S4 page and when it said no SU Binary detected/needs to be updated I just let SU binary install through SuperSU from the play store.

[Completed] [Q] Is there any other way to 1 Tap root aside from King Root on my Grand Prime?

I'm wondering if I can root my phone (Grand Prime SM-G5030AZ) again in a different one tap root way (no pc access) other than other than Kingroot. If yes, the other way will let me use supersu right away. Then maybe afterwards I can do a full unroot using supersu, possibly removing the thing which Kingroot did, leaving my phone saying custom in about phone (voiding the warranty and software updates). The main reason why I'm asking this is because Kingroot does not install the latest binaries and that's why people have issues getting supersu as superuser from Kinguser. I'm thinking that if I root my phone with another one tap root which has the ability to use supersu, I will have my binaries at the latest. Therefore maybe the Kingroot binaries that were leftover will be replaced. This would mean that if I do a complete unroot with supersu, there will be no traces of root at all in my phone after a factory data reset. But I don't know if this is all true. Can someone, please shed some light onto this. Thanks for everyone's great work and I'm looking forward to hearing from you guys. ��

[Completed] Need Help on How to Root Samsung G900A

I got a new phone because my iphone 5 got stolen and it was jailbroken and when I got my samsung device I decided I want to root it. Upon research and countless hours on how to root my phone I got nothing. I guess i'm new when it comes to rooting and i'm trying my best to learn as much as possible.
Anyways, I've tried Kingo Root and it keeps failing, i've tried King root (2 different applications of king root) When I open the app it says Root Acess is unavailable and on the bottom of the app it says Root strategy available, just try it and there is a button asking to try to root. And then it goes to 16% then goes up slowly and then it jut says root failed no strategy retry. Sometimes the app closes out and my homescreen is all black.
I've heard of odin but I've never tried it, if anybody could help me out on rooting my device that would be great.

But the problem is after flashing the file when phone reboots it shows SuperSu on my phone but when i open it to check whether its rooted or not it ask me to update binary. And when i try to update binary from Normal Mode it says installation failed.
I also checked with Root Checker Basic App and it also says that Your phone does not have root access in red lines.
I really want to use my phone's deep features but this wont me allow.
I really expect a reliable solution from here cause this is the only place where i can find some experts , pls Devs help me to root it. ( forgot to mention i also tried the one click root method, and very similar apps to root itself by phone.) Once root checker showed that my phone is rooted when i installed a app KINGUSER , and it was working to give root access to some apps. But i want to root with SuperSu. Got really frustrated:crying: by trying this hundreds of time pls help me. (And sorry for Bad English)
