so lets get started
1st: on the market there is a couple apps
2ed:
A.called su binary fix - didnt work for me but try it out
B.busybox installer - onece again didnt work for me but yet again try it out
3ed: last but not least the one that worked for me manully update it through your recovery mode
go here to get the zip file -------> www.androidsu.com/superuser/
download the one you need then boot recovery and then just flash it
then there you go your superuser binuary should be at 3.1.1
i hope this helps and thank you to the one who posted the files online lol

LOL- searched for that !
I do have to say Thank YOU-:good: Funny thing; superuser has been a bad app to me lately < bear in mind, of course, I have no clue what I'm doing and hold NO one responsable for my actions > I had finally figured how to root the phone (1st android interaction on my part, free-searched everywhere). Then, no recov opt's, etc. according to su- as you posted, it was playing a little screwy. So as I'm reading your post, I plugged it in. Lo and behold the su binary went through and updated. I saw the screen "that was cool, do it again". I said "woo-hoo"- don't care if thats corny, anything gets me psyched at this point! Still don't know if that will help- to be honest, i'm unsure of what my next step was and why I was doing that.
So Thank you, I'll know to try this if what I had was a fluke.:silly: yes, lots of silly faces, can't help- i'm excited. I'll tone it down on my next post!

Binary Update
Hello Folks,
Forgive me but I searched the forums and could not find any posts dealing with my problem.
I recently rooted my phone, Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 i545 version 4.4.2, build i545vrufnc5 using Towel Root and used Root checker to verify. Root checker states it is rooted and I am using SuperUser Elite v3.1.3 however the outdated binary notification shows outdated binary (-rwxr-xr-x is in red) and when I tap to update I get the message "downloading manifest...... fail!? When I then hit "try again" I get "unfortunately superuser has stopped" and it closes. I also downloaded SU Updater and ran it, no help. I also have Busy Box and Root Explorer and Titanium Backup installed. su binary shows v1.99:supersu (0). There are no apps showing in su and I get no prompts when adding new apps to allow or deny? I am new at this and really ready to unroot and say the heck with it. I seen several posts about downloading a zip of the file and saving to sd card. Do I need a zip program first and how do I move it to the sd card if that is the case? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
J-

No I haven't had that issue, and I'm kind of confused about what you are saying.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su&feature=search_result
try that.
What Im trying to say is. When trying to backup with Titanium Backup or use Rom Manager SU keeps popping up with no progress in the App. Say for instense i want to use WirelessTether it would say asking for Root rights, SU would pop up and ask Allow or Deny. I'll press Allow then SU would pop up again and again. Every time i pressed Allow.

Try installing superuser with the link I sent you or search super user in the market.
That seem to do the trick. Thanks for the help

[Q] Nand Unlocking

Hey guys, im fairly new to the whole rooting and customizing of android scene, but i rooted my epic 4g using the oneclickmethod found here. Everything has gone fine and ive been able to flash multiple roms and try different things out, but today i downloaded the font changer app which then lead me to downloading the busy box app, however i got hung up on the installation of busy box because its saying im not nand unlocked. i assumed that took place with the whole rooting method, is there anything i can do to fix that at all?

I believe No nand unlock is needed, unless it goes through that when rooting. Make sure superuser is up to date. Even try to uninstall superuser and re install. I had the same problem before and am trying to remember what I did. I know I uninstalled superuser & re installed and uninstalled the APP i was trying to get to work and also re installed. So try that and see if it works
Samsung doesn't NAND lock their phones.

i dont mean to sound completely stupid, but how do i go about uninstalling/reinstalling superuser, do i just re-root the phone? Just asking before i try anything so i minimize my chance of bricking, thanks guys.
why dont you link us to the app not working?
If you have a ROM installed chances are that you already have busybox, there that most dev's include it on there ROMs.
I think that your trying to install Busybox in an area of your phone were its currently mounted as Read Only and not R/W. Double check the destination of the busybox installer (it will give you several options) and choose from there.

[Q] Noob+root=hairloss, need help with GT-S5560

So, I heard some while a go that it is possible to have flash in GIO. Me being a totally helpless with tech I asked my friend of a friend of a friends cousin to ROOT my phone. Well that went smoothly, I did not get flash on my mobile´s websites but instead I can´t connect my Gio to PC via USB... NUTS!
And "the Friend" can´t help me no longer...
So here are the problems, I can´t connect to PC, no matter what. Tried de-buggin, un-installed drivers <-> installed drivers. Nothing...
Also I have that app I don´t really want ( or do I?), called SuperSU which is´nt working, says something about "binary needs to update -> Fail". How the h*ll i´m gonna get rid of that? Is that app that lost my USB-connection? Did I do it?
So could some one please tell me, 1) How to remove SuperSU-app or how to fix it (I you think that I should have it). 2) Any ideas how to solve USB-issue. 3) If I need to install any app´s, softwares and so on, links would be great. Working ones...
Here´s some specs from my phone, GT-S5660, Android ver. 2.3.6, "somethingsomething" S5660XXKT6, Core(?) 2.6.35.7-perf-CL1006648, "mumbojumbo" GIGERBREAD.XXKTI. SuperSU v0.98
Ask for more information if you need it, i´ll try to explain the best I can, english is´nt my language. Me no enklish, me finnish.
... Is it possible to have flash on GIO?
superSU is the app that gives away root acces to apps and to the system.
you need to use wifi or 3G and update the binairy
for usb, make sure you fully disabled Kies and killed it with the task manager

Thanks for reply. SuperSU won´t update, not on wifi or 3G. Just says "update failed".
I have deleted Kies from laptop, cleaned registry, even removed all usb-drivers then restarted laptop(did that with WIN7 an XP-PRO), yell´ed at my neighbours and blamed the cat.
Still no connection, I can connect NOKIA with usb-cable, the cable recharges my Gio but no luck with connecting... I quess that damn thing is broken.
I´ll focus now on removing that superSU, which will be a weeks job at my skills...
Thanks anyway.

Yes, it´s the cable that came with Gio. Can´t find Nokia´s cable so I could try that one. How do I check that if my phone has a custom rom that is´nt suitable or something like that. I really don´t know what that friend of my did to my phone, BUT the problem occured after his I´ll have your phone going like Räikkönen in Abu Dhabi-tuneup.
Really i think u should unroot it if u think root cause this problem.

Just tried that one, correct me if I´m wrong but unrooting is done by using unroot.zip (the one for superSU)? because that did´nt do the trick. For now I have done unroot.zip, wipe all data from phone (to factory re-set or whatcamacallit), boot-> voilá, theres that superSu still, version 0,98 if I recall.
I know that the bigges problem is in front my laptop´s screen, AKA my face, but as I earlier stated, me no computers.
I wish someone would make an app that removes all of these root-thingies and gives you a free nokia 3310
Thanks for reply, I won´t give up. There must be a simple answer for this. I just have to find it, or someone gives it me... Latter the better.
Ooh ooh, FYI, now I have these two app´s in my phone. SuperSU and Superuser, should I just quit fidling with my phone
...and now when I connect my phone to laptop, win7 gives every 3 sec. a message that one of the USB-hardwares is in errormode or something (I´m bad at traslating), it sounds like a intro of a Skrillex-song...

Yep, if you mean flash´ing is done by the the method of power+"that large button at bottom of my phone" and install update->unroot.zip then yes, app won´t go. Do I have a wrong file? Are those files spesific to a certain app? The trick is to get two superuser-apps is klick+klick+yes+fustration+install+hope+i don´t know. If I could I would give you better info... You mean that SuperSU (the one with cyan droid with red cape) and Superuser (the one with green droid and a eyepatch) shouldnt exist in a same phone? This is going straight to the twilightzone.
If you are confused, quess how I feel:laugh:
And either of them won´t update binary...
Oh, and yes, no ( ) I can´t uninstall either of those app, well from phone´s uninstall-section, butt that do´snt uninstall these apps for good... They are still there when I go to settings+apps+manage apps+all-> there they are.
Using WIN7 and XP.

Here´s where I´m at now, SUPERuser says: su binary vlegacy (0) -rwsr sr-x root root System/bin/su. When I do update I get this: Checking installed version:Legacy(written in red), Gaining root acces: fail! (allso written in red).
SuperSU says " The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?" -> "Installation failed!".
Busybox installer says my device is rooted
Root checker basic says Sorry! This device does not have proper root acces.
Got root says "Successfully located ´su´(superuser) on the device. Failed to obtain root privileges through ´su´.
Honestly, I don´t know is my phone rooted or not

may be your root access was lost, try to root the phone again.
Ya, unrooting and rooting again would work.

i don't think it related with hardware, root is related with software (OS).
Right, here´s where I´m at. Now my phone IS rooted, it also have android 4.0.4 and CyanogenMod9 :laugh:
Done some fidling you see...
But still no connection via usb, I´m starting to think that it is a hardware-related problem. It does charge my phone, but no connection for file transfer.
So for now I will be happy for these settings.
Just need to get the a2sdgui working propely, can´t move apps from phone to sd.
Thanks for all of you´s for help :angel:

maybe its more a pc-related problem too, reinstall drivers and make sure KIES is not running(deinstall it) and try on other pc's too.
have look at this for Apps 2 sd on ICS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590807&highlight=guide+ics
I think there's no problem with a rooted phone. You just need to do some homework before you started at it. Let me help you by explaining you some words and some help.
Root: when you root your phone you are able to flash roms on your phone.
Recovery mode: the menu that you get when you touch the on button + the OK button.
Flashing: installing a rom.
Rom: a kind of system on your phone. After rooting you can put these on your phone like iOS or
ICS.
When you are rooting your phone, you need a new recovery mode: Clockwork mode recovery. You can install this as the same way like flashing a rom. After that you can apply the update.zip package. Now your phone us rooted and when you reboot your phone you have a new app: SuperSU (or superuser) This app gives apps permission to other apps. Now you are able to flash any rom you want. Just google on: roms for /thenameofyourphone/ and you get enough results. Some roms are really great and are smooth and have a nice theme like android 4.1 or ios. Just download the rom. Put it on yor sd card. Go into recovery mode (clockwork mode recovery). Backup current rom, do a factory reset, wipe cache and install the rom. After flashing you must reboot your phone and ENJOY!
You can also download link2sd which allows you to move ALL you apps to your sd card. By the way. When you have rooted your phone it isn't bad but you have to read very much and after a while you will understand everything and you will enjoy your favourite rom.

I finally got mine rooted. Do everything in this post. I was able to remove KNOX and finally get my damn phone rooted! This was used to root my wife's Sprint Note 2 with the OTA 4.3 update. here
is the complete thread if you want to see it all. The link I posted first is the 3rd post from that thread.
Doing those steps WILL FIX your issues with not being able to root your Note 2.
I actually boot looped my wife's Note 2 in the process, so if you do brick/boot loop it, then follow these instructions. That put the phone back to the OTA 4.3 stock version. I had to put my wife's SD card into my phone and add the files to her SD card (provided in the link I just posted) to get it to work. Me being an idiot is how I boot looped her phone. This was the ONLY way I could get it to work... and I tried so many methods I found here, youtube, and online.
Good luck gentleman! Let me know if I can help you anymore!
baseband version
i was wondering if the baseband version could have anything to do with it (im still new to rooting) i have L900VPUBMK4 on my phone but when i looked around in other places i noticed people having L900VPAMK4 is there a difference an could this be why mine wont root
i will try your method above an thanks so much for posting this i will let you know of my outcome

I had the same issue and fixed it like this -
1. Installed ES File explorer and open it.
2. Press Menu on the phone and scroll down and turn ON Root Explorer and hit Back.
3. Choose Device from the top menu (dropdown)
4. From the bottom menu, choose search and search for super and you should see superuser.apk.
5. Choose that and install it.
From there you should be able to disable KNOX and open SuperSu

I tried this to no avail, getting error message 'Application not installed'. The thing is, when I go into the Play Store it says SuperSU IS installed but I only have the option to open it. There is no 'update' option available like I keep reading everyone suggests to do to fix this problem. And when I attempt to open SuperSU, I get the error message 'Unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped' followed by the KNOX security notice 'Unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked'.

Same.
Everyone I figured out a simple solution to this. I got my phone back on the 13 from replacement. On the 16 I tried to root for the first time. And KNOX led me into a panic. Reading all the forums and knox blocked every attempt I made, but I neat that ***** into the ground.
1. Get some kind of file Explorer and find the SuperSU apk.
2. ReInstall that bad boy.
3. Immediately after install a message will appear asking if SuperSU can try to disable KNOX.
4. Click it quickly, if you don't knox will try to block it again.
5. You should now have KNOX out of the way. You should now be free to delete that slut!
I chose system app safe remover and searched for all files with KNOX and deleted it. I feel you could probably kill it with any root explorer and know the files you are looking for.

4. From the bottom menu, choose search and search for super and you should see superuser.apk.
5. Choose that and install it.
From there you should be able to disable KNOX and open SuperSu

For further clarification, simply clicking on it did not work for me. It gave me an "There is a problem parsing the package."
If you long press on the file then select More from the bottom menu then select Install, it will install properly.
Just wanted to clarify for anybody else who ended up with that issue.
It worked!

I had the same issue and fixed it like this -
1. Installed ES File explorer and open it.
2. Press Menu on the phone and scroll down and turn ON Root Explorer and hit Back.

This worked for me. Once I reinstalled the SuperUser APK, ES asked for access and everything else fell into place. Thanks!
use esfile to solve it

I tried this to no avail, getting error message 'Application not installed'. The thing is, when I go into the Play Store it says SuperSU IS installed but I only have the option to open it. There is no 'update' option available like I keep reading everyone suggests to do to fix this problem. And when I attempt to open SuperSU, I get the error message 'Unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped' followed by the KNOX security notice 'Unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked'.

I got this done by the following:
1. Do exactly as aforementioned instruction, untill you find superuser.apk
2. Hold your finger on that apk icon untill a little squre show up that you can mark it
3. Find "more"(my is at the right lower corner of the screen), choose it and find "install" on your right.
4. Then install.
I dont know why this apk can be installed through es file, basically it still needs to Android to run the installation, yet it works in this way.
have a try and good luck
I keep having to go back into the file explorer and installing it. It will work for a while then out of the blue it pops up and says it has quit. I am very skeptical to try and go through the flash process to install a different ROM. Currently bone stock 4.3 eff bomb. Any suggestions?

Try and use ODIN to flash TWRP then flash @billard412 to get back to MC2 stock, it will remove KNOX and reset flash counters, if any. Then ODIN TWRP again since it will re-install the stock recovery you can then flash the MK4 kernel, WIFI Fix and MK4 ROM of your choice.

Ok....since you tripped KNOX you cant get rid of that but its ok if you are not returning your phone (maybe out of warranty?) then just ignore it.
Flash away!
Ya the warranty didn't mean squat...I went ahead and tried the SGS3 JELLYBOMB VER 20.0.0.MD5 and it went with no problems. Haven't got the SuperSU has stopped since flashing. Thanks for the encouragement here. So far so good.

[Q] Stockrom Blu Dash 5.0+ D412L

Cyanogenmod version?
please , help.
Unfortunately I don't hold the answer to your question. Rather, I have interest in asking you a question. Now, I guess you have had success in rooting and installing a custom recovery onto your device...? If so, will you please share the method which you used please? I have tried using framaroot, poot, towelroot, androot, and kingoroot. The only achievement towards the granting of full root permissions I have gotten to so far is my device stating that it is rooted. I have installed SuperSU and busybox but, after the installation of SuperSU into my system, the icon is no longer available in my app drawer. I can see it when in my app folder on my system when using my file browser but I cannot remove it to attempt a reinstallion. I have tried several different file browser yet still come up empty handed when trying to mount my system as r/w. Also, I have installed one of the several MTK Engineer Mode apps. Upon doing so I discovered that there was a button listed "user2root". Naturally, being an individual who will push the big red button even after being warned against it, I pushed the root button. Immediately a toast message popped up informing me that root permission had been successful. I then went back into my file manager and tried to mount my system as r/w. Nothing had changed in anyway after that though. The stock .IMG file was pretty quickly found on gsmphonearena.com but, I could not seem to find a lick of information about fully rooting the device or the installation of a custom recovery .IMG file on there either. So as you can tell, I'm a bit at a loss here. If you or anyone else out there that can possibly help pull me outta this rut I'm currently in, it would be greatly appreciated as I can just about guarantee that it is not only I out there who is struggling with this issue.
Hey guys not sure if this may interest you but the version that works the best is Phil's touch Recovery.
