Hi,
hope someone can help me, because untill now it was not complete clear for me.
I just got Root access on my htc one X (at least this should be the case)
But in order to test this, i want to try some different ROM.
But to use anything regarding different ROMs i need SUPERUSER and most important SU BINARY
I can install superuser without problems.
my question: WHERE CAN I FIND A CORRECT VERSION OF SU BINARY, AND WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS?
Because now he is still asking for SU binary which he can not find in the system!!!

Actually, you did not get root access yet. You need to install the su command as part of rooting the device.
I suggest you try again. Find good instructions on how to root your device, and follow them.
When you find a method that works, it will install the su command and the Superuser app, and set permissions on the su command.
This is usually done automatically by a program running on a PC, connected to the debug port of the Android device with a USB cable.
Then you can test it with an app such as Root Checker, which you can find in the Play store (free).
If I'm not mistaken custom roms come with superuser already installed, so all you need to do is unlock your bootloader at htcdev, install custom recovery then pick a Rom to flash (not forgetting to flash the boot.img through fastboot before installing the Rom through recovery.)
To update binaries just open the superuser app and it should tell you if the su binary needs updating

Good Morning All:
I got the phone rooted and the CWM recovery installed but for some reason, it didn't appear to have installed the SU Binary.
When I boot the phone, it says "Unlocked" but it doesn't have the usual "Tampered" word. I used the Root Checker app and it says its not rooted correctly.
Any idea how I can manually install the SU Binary?
Many thanks for the replies.

I have already downloaded the SuperSU from the market but it didn't work. I dont think this program actually installs the SU Binary but is more of a management program once SU Binary is installed.
Would actually flashing the CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip program, actually install the SU Binary? I'm worried about installing it as I don't want to brick the phone.
Suggestions?

Unable to help as I have no idea about Sony device; never play with one.
Maybe other people can help.
Why don't you post your question on forum for Sony device ?
Try Reflashing your rooted rom, assuming you have a titanium backup or another backup of some kind and then see if you get anything
Can I update SU Binary using Root Explorer. Because my phone can't unlock bootloader and I also can't update using SuperSU because when trying to update it forre close. I'm currently use SU Binary version 3.0.3. I download SU Binary file version 3.1.1 on Superuser page and then I open that zip folder > system > bin > su. I found the su file on that zip file, so can I replace that su file that I downloaded with existing file on my phone >system > xbin > su. Are this way safe.
Thanks in advance.
I've never heard of anything like that before

if you do not have clock work mod recovery installed you cannot use the su zip file because the ability to install zips in the recovery is only made possible through the clock work mod, further more the person who asked if they could use root browser to install su binary, this is not possible because you have to have an su binary and be rooted for you to even use root browser to even look at the root of your device, my apolagies mates but you are stuck with what youve got unless you write your own firmware and rom for your android and put an su binary into your rom

same problem, wifi not working and Root Explorer wont open
you might have wrong kernel
you might have denied permission for WiFi
you might have denied permission to root explorer
open your super user app look at the logs and see
also make sure the automatic response is set to PROMPT and not deny
plus just check "trust system user" so you don't have to constantly allow WiFi and other system apps that normally already have root permissions

Root. A word so simple, yet so complexed.
Every android user on XDA should know what it is, but people only know what they can do with it, not how and why.
There are already a ton of threads describing what root is, but here's something most of those threads forget:
To obtain root access, you need a 'su' binary inside /system/bin .
Also, you need an app to control apps that gain root privileges. The two you're most likely to hear about are SuperUser (SU) and SuperSuperUser (SuperSU).
So, if you have a recovery, you can flash a zip file that puts a su binary inside /system/bin , and installs the controller app (SuperUser and SuperSU). -- That way you don't need a PC to root your phone. Also, you don't lose any data and there's no risk of bricking your phone.
But, as I can see, people here aren't aware that they don't need PCs for rooting.
They flash kernels from all sorts of stock FW releases, use a billion programs, and finally, they get root after a good amount of time and flashing, usually with a lot of risk of bricks.
So, a quick step-by-step guide on how to do root like a pro:
1. You need a phone with a recovery and internet (be it WiFi or mobile data).
2. Go here: http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip and save the file to your phone. Remember where you saved it!
3. Boot into recovery and flash the zip.
4. Reboot back into Android
Optional:
5. Realize that this process is far better than the ones that need a PC, because it's simpler. Thank me.
6. Tell it to your friends, so they don't mess around with huge downloads and flashing kernels.

How do you suppose we get a custom recovery without using different tools or unlocking bootloader?
Yes great guide, but only for UB ... for LB you need root BEFORE you install CWM...
al with .55 FW i recomend - flash any older rootable FW, root it, install CWM ... via CWM flash stockbased rom ( KA, XTX ) and thats all... or you an flash prerooted .55 FW ....
Okay, fine, schratch that!
Use goo.im manager from the play store and install the TWRP recovery!
Problem solved, but the main point is that people don't need PCs for root!!

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?
i am running BML4 and wanted to root the phone, i tried all sorts of methods, saferoot, towelroot, impactor, all failed so i just flashed a custom recovery and installed supersu 2.00 from a flashable zip, boot the phone and adb shell in, type su, it returns me to $, every time, super su sees no problem and the su binary and daemonsu are in ./system/xbin but still i cannot get root access, have samsung finally won or something?
i also tried flashing a custom rom that already rooted, but any roms just bootloop as nothing seems to be based on bml4 and older stuff just doesnt seem to agree with this bootloader, any attempt to flash to an earlier version results in the bootloader just blocking boot entirely (thanks for that samsung, i really needed you to protect me from doing what i want with my device)
does anyone know a way to root this thing or should i just give up
Try installing BusyBox
you do not need busy box to have root.
But many root apps as well as settings in custom roms use busybox to run the scripts that make them work. so while you can root without busybox you are very limited as to what you can do with it.
so while you dont need it to have the phone rooted. its still prety much needed to take advantage of that rooting
