Root Sort of Fails - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
So for the past 2 month, I've been trying to root my r800at, but it installs superusers but it doesn't function. I can't remove the semi root, but I need to get a root. I've tried the superuser fixer, but it says everything is normal. The Root Checker app says no root and so does ROM Manager, which in this case is a dire app.
PLS HELP!

Did you really need to make another thread about this? In the wrong section?

[Q] Help with Galaxy s3 and SuperSU

OK I don't know what I did but now I don't know what to do. I have a galaxy s3 thru att. I noticed these pop ups from SuperSU for access. I didn't even know what SuperSU was so I never checked accept or deny. I don't know how it got there and I don't really want it. I downloaded Root Checker Basic to verify root access. I get the message "this device does not have proper root access". I don't know if that is good or bad? Now I am afraid to uninstall SuperSU without screwing up my phone. Application settings to uninstall only gives me the option to uninstall updates. How do I uninstall SuperSU? As you can tell, I am a real novice to all this but any help would be greatly appreciated!

SuperSu is the program that issues root access to the apps on your phone that request it. If you want to be rooted you will need either that app or Superuser. They really act as a safeguard to stop any random app from taking control of root without asking you. If you were to open the SuperSu app you will see the apps that have tried to gain root access and I'm betting you will find 'root checker basic' has asked for permission, but has not had it granted. This is why it is reporting a problem with root. You do want this application and you do want to grant access to apps that you have installed and will trust. To lose this app is essentially to lose root. Up to you if you keep it.

[Q] SuperSU says there is no SU binary and it can't install it, wat do?

Hello everyone, first time poster. In need of dire help.
So I got an unlocked phone.
Tried to use the method on the galaxynote2 website ( you can find it if you google "galaxynote2root easiest method" )
However Now SuperSU is telling me "there is no SU binary installed, and SUPERSU cannot install it. There is a problem!"
I tried updating SuperSU and downloading a putting in manually a newer version.
I have no idea what's going on in my phone since root checker is telling me I don't have root.
What do I do?
Hell, the only reason I rooted it is to unroot it because the previous root made my phone act strange.
I really would like to give this phone in for warranty.

Also it's not like I used any ol' root. This individual has a huge youtube channel dedicated to the note.
Also I forgot to mention that when I finished rooting, knox did say it did allow some sort of permissions with super su or something along those lines.

[Q] Root didnt work, want to unroot and lose custom status

Tried to root my Galaxy Note 2 following this site galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-easiest-method. Everything went fine. But when the phone rebooted, I was immediately greeted with a security warning. "Unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked" Also informed that SuperSU is missing its binary, and cannot be installed by SuperSU. So, I rooted it, but I don't have root access. Everything I've found to try and fix this requires root access, that I don't have. I've given up on trying to root this phone, but I can't unroot it without root access. I would like to unroot it so I can try to update the software. How can I fix my SuperSU binary issue? Please, explain this to me like I'm a retarded noob, since I am in fact a retarded noob

Download Odin. Download the factory image from sammobile.com. Odin the stock image. Problem solved
Or if you still want root, download the Mr robinson T-Mobile prerooted Odin image and flash that.
Fyi i accidently hit the thanks button. I guess you got a free one on me

Root without root issue.

Hi peeps, looked at rooting my nice new G3 and went in for the kill with towel root [emoji16] only to find out didn't support my version. Decided to go with purpledrake (not got there yet) found a couple of apps not working because of root which root checker says I don't have. My question is do I need to root now regardless even if only to unroot? To get things back to normal?

After rooting, did you install SuperSU?
Also, there's StumpRoot as a 3rd option.
That's just it. Towel root told me my phone wasn't supported and root checker says I don't have root, yet the app in question says I do so super user seems a bit pointless.

SuperSU is needed after you root to give apps root access. Try to install it, if it works, you're rooted and you can go along with your rooted apps.
Otherwise, try StumpRoot (Towel and Purple's didn't support my version either), install SuperSU and enjoy your root apps!
Tried to install it with no luck. Seems something's gone wrong somewhere.
Says I need to manually 're root of I just upgraded to android 4.3. As it can't install su binaries.

Time to give StumpRoot a shot then.
Yeah I think your right. The only issue left is the app I want to use fails when rooted and the root cloak module/app doesn't currently support it [emoji20]
Edit:
Well i tried stump root and got nowhere [emoji20] looking like purple is my only way forward. And if i want to use that particular app then root, unroot is the only way forward. [emoji45]

Root access for GT-I9195I?

Hi, I have a brand new, stock, unlocked, international version GT-I9195I, which I updated to Android 4.4.4 before attempting to root. I attempted to follow the instructions given here for root access. I didn't realize until just now that these instructions were for a slightly different model, the GT-I9195, not the GT-I9195I.
Two questions: first, have I done any harm by attempting to flash the GT-I9195 recovery onto my GT-I9195I? (It still boots and appears to work normally.) Second, where are the instructions to get root access for this particular model (Baseband version I9195IXXU1AOB1)? I found a thread here for installing TWRP but it doesn't seem to mention how to get root...
Use kingroot for rooting...just install the app and press root
Sorry for taking so long to reply. Thanks for the advice! Kingroot was successful on the second attempt at obtaining root access.
However, I do have a follow-up question. Can I install a superuser app like SuperSU, then uninstall kingroot, and still retain root access? Kingroot's Purify feature shut down my alarm clock app and some others I want to run at startup, and toggling apps in the "Auto-start" setting of kingroot seems to have no effect. I uninstalled Purify but it still interferes.
Yes, you need to use Super Sume: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=darkslide.com.supersumepro
