I root my phone using vroot and got a chinese kinguser, the problem is that I used a method to replace the kinguser and push
a new su-binary and busybox i think and after reboot the kinguser is gone and no supersu was replaced, I have tried installing a new
Supersu kinguser superssu but nothing works just got a message that D su-binary must be updated. Also tried flashing zips for rooting in stock
Recovery and tried many methods for unrooting but nothing works. I just wan t a suggestion how to delete the su in /system/xbin. TIA
If you already have rooted with kingroot.
Make a clone of superuser app then install both the original one and the clone.Now open the duplicate one and try to update binary.Your binary will be sucessfully updated and original superuser will be in charge of root permissions.
Everytime I'm rebooting, superSU seem's to be integrated again, but I'd like to root with the magisk version to easily enable /disable root.
Thanks for your support guys.
Hello,
I successfully rooted my phone (Xperia Z1 Android 5.0.1) with KingRoot 5.0.6. Afterwards I tried to replace KingRoot with SuperSu (https://forum.xda-developers.com/a310/general/how-to-remove-replace-kingroot-kinguser-t3308989). When I ran the script, I got these errors: https://a.disquscdn.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/3096/6825/original.jpg
The script finished and KingRoot was removed but SuperSu wasn't installed. The manual installation of SuperSu (and its binaries) didn't work so I tried to reinstall KingRoot with the newest version. The problem is, that I can't open (nothing happens), uninstall (greyed out) or downgrade ("application was not installed") KingRoot.
Do you have any advice what I could try instead of flashing a new rom?
I have installed TWRP recovery

Maybe you need to open the TWRP and browse to the location where your phone stores the su binary file, which is most likely stored in the:
/system/xbin , or
/system/bin
Delete the existing binary if any alongwith the other su files like daemonsu,etc , and repeat your previous installation methods.

Try deleting the kingroot app manually. If its installed, it should be somewhere in data/app or system/app.
If that's successful, then reinstall Kingroot and try rooting again. Instead of running a script to replace Kingroot with SuperSu, try using "SuperSuMe" instead. Its available on the playstore.
Ya SuperSuMe is was worked for me a while back when I needed to do the same. I think it was 2$ bucks.

Unlocked bootloader. Installed twrp successfully. Flashed majisk successfully yet busybox will not install and root checker reports root not obtained... Huh?
Is this because root checker and busybox look for supersu to be in a certain place and when they can't find it they report no root?
If majisk is essentially root then why does it fail the checks? I am able to install and use apps that require root... What gives? (Sorry for being dumb)

IDK about the root situation, but the way I usually install busybox on the pixel is goto the play store and search busybox and pick the one by meefik. Then open it and change the install location from system/xbin to just system/bin (so remove the x)

This is the best BusyBox installer in my opinion.
From this thread. Works for system or systemless installations.
Flash in TWRP.
