[Q] Superuser can't grant root acess and crashes.

Hey,
A few days ago, my Superuser app stopped granting root access, and now it crashes ranodmly.
I know I'm not the first one and I read many things about it but everything I tried was unsuccessful.
I tried to update the Superuser app but it needs root access at the end of the process.
I checked if my phone was still rooted with a "Check Root" app and it's still rooted.
I tried to install BusyBox, but it needs root access.
I tried to uninstall the Superuser app and the re-install it but since it's a default app included with my ROM I can't uninstall it.
I have a Galaxy Appolo running with Kyrillos 9.7.
Does anyone know how I can fix this ?

Superuser app is being reported to have issues at some point. Try Chainfire's SuperSU app, and see if that works.
If that too didn't work, maybe your root permissions have been messed up, not sure though.

I installed it, but when I launch it it tells me to update the SU binaries. I tried to do it but the process just seems to take forever, so I suppose it's not working.

Then I guess there are problems with your root permissions maybe. Try other Superuser app just to confirm it, and if needed re-install your ROM as a last resort.

[Q] problem rooting

Hello, i have a gt-n8010 tablet and just updated it to 4.4.2, from 4.1.2 i had root, worked any method cwm or autoroot, but in this version cant make root work well, i use SuperSU as root app, i do this: (debugging is on)
1 install SuperSU through autoroot (using odin) it installs and everthing goes well, reboots and it says something about disabling knox i just hit yes
2 install pro and configure the SuperSU app,*
but at some point after using the app (granting root access), when i access the SuperSU interface it tells me that SuperSU has to update the "su" binary it asks me "normal" or "CWM", i hit normal as always because i didnt install CWM recovery, but this time fails installation and closes the app unlike version 4.1.2 wich didnt have any problem, and doesnt let me to access the app interface because it keeps telling me about updating binary, but when an app asks for root access it still asks me to grant it, and any app previously root granted stays granted.
the apps i use with root are: root explorer, root uninstaller, game killer, triangle away
wich seems strange is that root explorer, root uninstaller and triangle away once i grant root access they work fine, i can access root folders and modify them, uninstall system apps and even reset flash count, but game guardian, game killer and gamecih dont work as they should, they open well but cant use them to read memory and change any ingame value.
gamecih just never shows that has root access even if i granted it and doesnt respond to hotkey
game guardian opens and appears to work but when searching for a value shows 0 results everytime, every game
and game killer opens, but the message saying "Rooted" never shows and after like 20 seconds it closes and opens again in an infinite loop without letting me use it, it also doesnt respond to hotkey.
i have also tried the CWM recovery method and install SuperSU through recovery, it install without problem and just as previous method after some time of use it tells me that SuperSU has to update binary and fails installation and still cant use apps like game killer, i go back to CWM recovery and reinstall it, it reinstalls but this second time, it tells me something about disable recovery flash i just hit yes and after that it warns me about root access loss and ask me to fix it, wich i say yes, then i hit reboot now and everything goes well, but same problem, updating binary problem and no game killer type apps.
i have tried uninstalling every knox app, but still the same. i like to hack games rooting for anything else doesnt matter, any idea what can be causing this? and how to solve it?

Try to download/update via the Google play store, it might do the trick.

Try to uninstall supersu (root uninstaller) and install via Google play, the same su update question will then be asked and click on normal just like you did before. The problem might be due to a old version of supersu from the flash.

I have already tried reinstall, first shows to work fine, when message that su binary has to update comes out and it installs correctlly, it just needs sometime after or a reboot for the app to ask me again about su binary update and fail installation, during the time it "installed correctlly" i still have the same problem losing root access with gamekiller type apps.
i have also tried full unroot from inside the app, then reflash SuperSU, and still have the problem even that is 2.02 version.
But have to say that i have root access already, i tried another su app, i installed CWM recovery then installed rom manager from Google play, then inside rom manager downloaded and installed Superuser and it worked and still does, all my apps that need root access work, dont know how or why, but they work. For obvious reasons i had to install SuperSU first then grant root access to rom manager then install the other su app and bingo!!, but for reasons i dont know, the SuperSU app was no where to be found, like if it was uninstalled, but thanks anyway

How To Root Samsung Galaxy Core Duos 8262 100% working

The last day i've posted that i cant root galaxy core 8262.
After 2 days gooling i ve find a way to root this device.this device was updated last month.
ok now start Rooting
1.Download Vroot from here_ http://www.mgyun.com/vroot
2.Install this on ur pc.... this is Chinese so u will face some problems i guess
3.Start VROOT and root now!
4. Now we need to install SuperSU from play store to replace the Chinese root manager called 授权管理 1.0.4.
5. Go to play store and install SuperSU.
6. Start SuperSU and you will be asked for permission by 授权管理 1.0.4, choose 允许(means allow). (Should be the right side option.)
7. SuperSU will prompt to install SU binary, go ahead with OK and it will display successful.
8. Now, freeze 授权管理 1.0.4 in titanium backup, just in case you need it again.
Note: If you uninstall straight away from app manager, you need to make sure SuperSU updated the binary.
9. Re-run SuperSU to make sure everything is alright. You will be prompt again to install SU binary, just do what it asked.
10. After that, you are rooted with SuperSU and 授权管理 1.0.4 will not be there anymore.
Optional
11. If you want to be more assured, in SuperSU app, prepare for a Reinstall in settings. (NOT Full unroot NOT Switch superuser app)
12. SuperSU will be removed and go back to play store to re-download and install.
13. Start SuperSU and SuperSU will prompt to install SU binary, go ahead with OK and it will display successful.
tnx button is there (Y)

[Q] Help with Kingo Root

I tried to root my device "Infinix Hot" Which apparently has the same build as HTC devices using KingoRoot
5 min after i plugged my device to my pc and had usb debugging on and kingoroot installing drivers it displayed a message "Root success"
But i noticed that my device didn't reboot during the process , which goes against what i have read..........
So i rebooted it manually , and now i have an app called "KingoUser" that i can only disable but not uninstall even if i factory reset( I tried ) ....... But with no root access
I tried many root checking apps and they all displayed that i didn't have root access but i have SU installed
Can someone explain what is going on please?

And can someone please tell me if i can remove this "KingoUser"
Which doesn't appear to have any uses
When i open it all what's there is just a white page with only links to Kingo Websites

Try downloading ES file browser and enable root feature, see if you have root...
You never even get a toast notification from kinguser asking if you want to grant permissions??

I did try several apps from the playstore that require root access like titanium backup ...
And they just keep trying to ask for root access for sometime then display a message "Failed" without any reaction from the "KingoUser" App
Anyway ~ i tried another root program called Vroot ( Or iRoot ) and this time root actually worked and installed superuser that ask for root permission for each program ( Allow of deny dialogue ) And titanium backup has root access now
But the app called "KingoUser" Cant be uninstalled even after doing several factory reset ( Without loosing root status )
I currently have it disabled but i want to permanently remove it cuz it's useless
One more think , i disabled the "superuser" app that automatically installed after the root process and installed the newer version from the play store that works perfectly and it updated my su binary it seems
So is it safe for me to completely remove the outdated superuser app the came with iRoot ? ( Cuz it wont update by itself and i cant find and option to update ) ? And how do i remove it ( Same problem with "KingoUser" )

yeh it's safe to remove, go with any root file explorer to system/app and delete it!

You may also try first freezing that app and then uninstalling it

Root Kindle Fire HD 10

I was able to use Kingoroot for PC to root my Fire HD 10. Updated to the newest Firmware. It would say it was rooted. But, Trying to give permissions and checking with root checker was not successful and said there was no root. I installed SuperSU apk it says the binary is occupied. So I Uninstalled the superuser apk. that was installed by Kingoroot and tried to change the build prop with a root browser text editor and it was successful so apparently it roots but superuser is not working to grant or deny permissions. It automatically grants permissions does not even open up superuser so its kinda dangerous but it is rooted and working. My experience is that kingoroot superuser must be Uninstalled for root to work. I used twrp manager to backup my recovery img., and boot img. I am going to try to build a recovery for it but I'm not In a hurry plus I'm not sure if it will flash afterwards anyways but if you want root, Kingoroot for pc and Uninstalled the kingoroot superuser apk it installs and you will have it
Installed magisk manager installed zip direct (recommended) it bricked the fire. And then I adb sideloaded the update and now I'm back in business reasonably easy to do but I do not recommend magisk at this time .
Going to try xposed next
Couldn't get it to install says it's arm device tries to install and says it's an arm64 device. Plus has to be flashed in recovery and one hasn't been built yet

You can't manage Kingoroot su binary using SuperSU.
If you not install SuperSU su binary, SuperSU apk does not working.
Try this method to install SuperSU su binary.

I installed supersu to find out if it was rooted since the root checker said it was not. the binary error was a confirmation that it was in fact rooted and it doesn't matter what superuser is used it will not allow pop up or apps to draw over other apps so when it's rooted with kingoroot it automatically grants root without a confirmation,as long as the kingoroot super user app is not installed and if SuperSU is kept installed default permission has to be set to grant for root to work. I in fact installed the SuperSU binary through an older version of the apk and it installed but still has no control over denying or granting permissions. Thanks for the advice though. I appreciate your willingness to help me

Not trying to insult your intelligence or anything here, but you said newest firmware? Newest Fire firmware? Newest firmware isn't rootable from my understanding.
What firmware were you on when you started the root process?
Also, are you making sure that the Kingoroot "install our extra junk" box isn't checked (not sure that would prevent root success)?
It wouldn't open superuser. superuser should be set to "grant" because of how the Fire works, which it sounds like you are aware of based on your last post. I wouldn't say it's dangerous, per se.
I've followed this guide nearly a dozen times now and I've not run into the issue(s) you're having.
