Unable to root HTC One S

I had rooted my phone a few months ago using the command prompt, then a few weeks later it asked me to update the su binaries.
It would always say download fail.
I have been able to install apps that needed root privileges till a few weeks ago. It would say my phone had the su, but it wouldnt let the program run.
Yesterday I was playing with a Windows OS program that said it would root my phone, so I ran it, and it said failed, then i decided to unroot my phone and reroot it thinking it'll solve the problem. Now I can't reroot the phone.
I have tried R1 and R3 superboot, and the all in one kit "noob free" app.
Superboot goes through all the procedures and then restarts my phone, yet it does not detect that su is on the phone.
I don't get any error messages.
Thank you

Thank you for the response.
Yes, the HTC one S.
I do have the bootloader unlocked already.
I seen tutorials with the recovery portion as part of a step, but I am wondering about the step where I just inject the su and binaries into the phone as I have done prior.
Thank you again.

Just get your solution from the Universal busybox/su flashable zip thread.
Despite it's in the xperia thread this will work on any phone, as su and busybox are present on ALL rootet devices. In fact these two things present and working means full root.
Download, boot your device into fastboot mode and flash zip from TWRP. Done.

[Q] HELP NEEDED! Rooting Android Phone

This is my phone:
View attachment 2936156
My goal is to root an android phone that I just received today in order to install custom ROM's onto it. I have no experience with rooting android phones and everything I did was based purely off of things I found online. Naturally, when things didn't go as planned, I didn't know how to trouble shoot the problem.
At first, this is the website I followed for rooting: androidxda.com/root-coolpad-f1-8297
Following that website's instructions, I got to step 6 of using framaroot to root my phone. Step 6 is where I got stuck at. Instead of saying success, I got error #9 that told me to try and use other exploits. I tried all 3 and all of them and all three failed. What went wrong?
Besides, using Framaroot, I've also tried using Kingo Root.
However, upon opening the program and waiting a few minutes, there was a popup saying something along the lines of me not being able to connect to the server.
I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing wrong. Please help!
EDIT: I tried using Kingo Root today and it seemed to be working okay until my phone just suddenly restarted by itself. On the Kingo Root app, it said that the root failed because of timeout. The phone restarted by itself all other times I tried rooting with Kingo Root. Besides Kingo Root, I've also used vroot and my phone also restarted. Is it supposed to be restarting automatically?

Even check if the bootloader was unlocked? The coolpad I had was unlocked. Just flash a supersu zip.

I googled it and followed the instructions from this site: androidxda.com/root-android-device-cydia-impactor
At step 5, I occurred into a problem. After I pressed start, a popup appeared saying, "Signature bugs unavailable" after a few moments.

Anyone else?

Bump!

Hello bro try to find if there is any custom recovery for your device.. Like cwm, twrp etc...
If you find any custom recovery for your device then flash it. You should Google for it.
Then download superSU.Zip. You can download it from
download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/
Then with custom recovery install this zip and reboot...
Your phone will be rooted... 100% working

For some reason, both CWM and TWRP don't have the Coolpad F1 8297 listed as a supported device. When I searched up "custom recovery for Coolpad F1 8297", there wasn't really anything related to it. Any advice?
Stuck at step 1 :crying:

Root solution for D801 Lollipop

I found a solution for rooting my D801 running Android 5.0.2. I used KingRoot to gain root access and then Super-Sume Pro to remove KingRoot and install SuperSU. I have not installed TWRP because I am going to stay on stock. It was difficult to find a one-click solution so I hope this helps someone else.

Kingroot has worked for me, too. Nothing else worked, no matter what I did. But Kingroot works great! Thanks for posting.

I have tried Purple Drake, ioroot, StumpRoot, and LGOneClickRoot. None of these worked. I'm particularly chagrined over the ioroot failure because ioroot is listed in the Cyanomodgen installation instructions.
I have not tried Kingroot and am hopeful it's the answer to my prayers.
Could you please confirm your T-Mobile Lollipop software info with mine to make sure we're on the same page? Many thanks.
Android version: 5.0.2
Build number: LRX22G
Software version: D80130c
Woohoo, Kingroot does indeed root the phone. That's the good news.
Now for the bad news. Super-Sume Pro does NOT remove KingRoot v4.8.0 (latest version). I like having a rooted phone, but I don't like having Spyware running on it that chews up bandwidth. How do I get rid of this thing? Brute force delete of binaries?
UPDATE: I got rid of KingRoot via method 2 at https://www.droidmen.com/remove-replace-kingroot-kinguser-with-supersu/. Unfortunately although RootChecker claims the phone is rooted none of the apps that need root can find the su binary because the SuperSU installation failed. Effectively the phone is un-rooted since apps requiring root are inoperable. So back to square 1. It's a big steaming pile of you-know-what.
UPDATE: I retraced my steps and re-ran the shell script of method 2 above. This time it worked. Kingroot is gone, SuperSU 2.49 is installed, and the phone is rooted according to root checker. The phone seemed strangely unstable for a while, but seems to have settled into normal behavior. Don't know if that was a consequence of this procedure or is possibly a hardware problem (battery?). Will keep a close eye on it, but for now all the apps that need root have it. Contemplating the installation of TWRP via GooManager, but that's not a high priority right now.
If anyone reading this is a bloatware removal expert (especially with regard to LG & T-Mobile) I'd like to hear from you. Tools that I've seen mentioned in this regard are Titanium Backup, System App Remover, and Clean Master.

Guys, just followed nbi1's method and finally got this working! Thanks!

Did you by any chance install TWRP? If so, how did you unlock the bootloader? I'm looking for a pain free unlock. Held out hope for FreeGee, but despite claims to the contrary this app doesn't support many G2 variants such as mine, the D801 30c (T-Mobile).

Don't try it with Flashify. It'll destroy your recovery. Before trying any custom recovery make sure you have the stock kdz on hand so you can flash the stock recovery if need be.
UPDATE: I was able to flash the stock recovery.img. Of course that doesn't help as far as TWRP is concerned, but at least you wouldn't have a totally munged recovery on the phone.
UPDATE: Was able to successfully install TWRP using Autorec after figuring out that the SuperSU "Mount Namespace Separation" setting needs to be cleared/unchecked.

Thanks for the info. Did method 1 not work for you though?

So I finally tried to root my phone. Tried the LG One Click Root first and as posted here it did not work right. I have now SuperSU on the phone but I can't grant root to anything. Rootchecker shows no root. Now I tried Kingoroot and SuperSU asks to grant access but I can't confirm it. Looks like I have to first get rid of SuperSU? Stuck here not sure what I need to do the get rid of the butchered SuperSU install. Any tips?

Can someone point me to where I can get the AutoRec version that works on D801 Lollipop?

I was able to do the same using KingRoot-4.1.0.249-release-nolog-201505211812_105241.apk and Super-Sume-v9.1.9.apk
If KingRoot tells you "Unable to get root strategy" or "Failed to acquire cloud issued Root strategy", try to reboot once or twice before trying anything else!

Life after ROOT

So, I finally got my phone (SM-J320FN) rooted, thanks to info and downloads on this forum.
But now I have some questions, to which I haven't found the answers to anywhere else on the web.
1. To root, I followed instructions that told me to switch-on OEM unlock and USB debugging. However, there was no mention about turning them off again after root. Should they be on, or off?
2. Part of my rooting process involved installing/flashing TWRP. I did read that TWRP can be removed after root. What are the advantages/disadvantages of leaving or removing?
3. Now my phone is rooted, what is the best app/way to prevent it becoming unrooted by updates?
That's all for now, thanks.

It's better to let them on.
You can remove the TWRP recovery by flashing stock recovery. But TWRP can backup your whole android partitions (nandroid backup) that can restore your android if anything goes wrong.
TWRP can flash custom roms, mods, mount partitions, and many more. So, it's better to you have TWRP(custom recovery) installed.
If you are using SuperSU superuser app then in option you found OTA survival that prevent root from OTA updates.
I think you can't get OTA updates because you are rooted. If you get OTA updates and applied on rooted android then it chances of brick your android.

Hi every one. First sorry for bad grammar I am not so good at english. Now to the problem at hand.
Jester day I bought a smj320fn and realise it is not what I paid for, so I tried to root witk KingoRoot and fail. Then I realised there is a "bootlock" witch prevents root (I think it does that).
So I tried ODIN and installed a custom FMW and it worked, allso I instaled a custom twrp and boot win.rar file. and there is the problem.
Every time I hold the power buton the samsung logo apears for 5 seconds and then goes black. It wont take any commands. I tride the recover meny to open, no it wont, but I can restars it to boot again and fails every time.
I tried to do it from a youtube tutorial and maby I know what I did wrong. I Instaled a Sm-j320h boot on my smj320fn so I think thats the problem. Any whay how do I fix this. All and any solution are good.

Mate 20 Pro rooted and unrooted once. Now it won't get rooted anymore no matter what

Hey guys.
Like I've written in the title, I have rooted my device with magisk.
I've installed a few modules one of which has caused problems so I have unrooted it or so (don't exactly remember because it has been months ago).
Afterwards, I have tried to root the device again but everything has failed.
I do the exact same steps as described, which had worked before, but this time, it just won't get rooted anymore.
I've tried everything that came to my mind but it has always failed.
No one was able to help on the forum of the device which is why I'm asking here now.
I had also tried to install TWRP and root that way but it wouldn't let me install anything, so I couldn't install magisk that way.
The guide I'm talking about can be found at the following link.
