Have you followed the rooting procedure fully? In the forum it tells you how to properly root your phone. With the su binary not being found it seems like when you used framaroot it didn't install the binary (due to the half root it does). You need to keep using framaroot until SuperSU is installed and once it is you then need to use BusyBox pro to install the latest version of BusyBox (this may make the phone reboot, you have to keep going until it does get installed). Then you need to use the root fixer. But go and follow the proper root procedure, it explains it better. You should find it in the general forum.

Hi gamer649, thank's for your reply.
i just reinstall my superSU using framaroot, and the rootfixer finish its job flawlessly.
May I ask, is it possible to upgrade to this firmware then root? Or is it only possible with rootfixer?

[Q] Update SU binaries on P605

OK, so I have a P605v (locked bootloader) with Android 4.4.2 that is rooted using Towelroot.
Installed SuperSU from the Play Store and it works, but always asks to update binaries. Since it's stock recovery, it can't do so. Anyone know of a way to update them with the stock recovery?

Download the latest version of SuperSU from http://download.chainfire.eu/448/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r5.zip .
Unzip it on your PC and then look for the superuser.apk file in the common directory. Copy it across to your tablet and then run it.
It should let you update the binaries - just use the standard method. You may need to reboot a couple of times.

[Q] SUPERUSER Not working in 4.4.4 AOKP

I installed AOKP 4.4.4 ROM today. But the default superuser app is not working at all. I am handicapped totally because of it. Even the developer's option is not turning on even after hitting Build Number button 7 times. Plz help me fix this as no one in that thread seems to have that problem. I installed a different SUPERUSER app. It says binary is not updated. Where do I update the binaries from? I checked the root status of my phone with the help of ROOT CHECKER app and it says U don't have root access. How the hell did I flash a custom ROM without root access. I am totally confused. My phone is XPERIA M SS C1905
That happens to me all the time in CM11. What you're gonna have to do is replace the su binary as it is not suitable for the ROM (I think). Just head over to this page, download the file, then flash with CWM or TWRP. After flashing, uncheck the setting in SuperSU that says "Respect... ( I forgot the other words)". Then you're good to go.

Do you have Busy box installed? If not then Install busy box and install superuser from play store

[Q] Ok to update SuperSU app?

Hello,
I'm currently running a rooted HTC One (m8) with a stock recovery and stock sense 6. I simply booted into TWRP using the fastboot commands to flash the SuperSU .zip file. I am currently running SuperSU version 1.94 and I noticed there was an update to SuperSU version 2.0.
Is it ok to update to the latest SuperSU app? I'm not very familiar with SuperSU and I don't know if the updated SuperSU changes anything for root binaries.
I figured I should ask before I just go ahead and update the app.
Thank you for your help.

It's perfectly fine to go ahead and update to it, I myself haven't noticed a difference and i've ran both versions for unspecified extended periods of time with no problems.

Thank you. I was really asking is it ok to update the app through the google play store or if I should flash the zip file in TWRP recovery. I went ahead and played it safe and flashed the V 2.01 SuperSU app. Everything appears to be working properly right now.
Thanks for the help.
It'll be fine letting it update itself through the store

I had absolutely no problems with root and ARHD 50.2. Flash it again, and DON'T flash SuperSU when twrp ask for it.
If it's still give problems, just flash latest SuperSU for MM and it should work without problems.
