I installed SU superuser app from google play because inbuilt was having problems. And then I froze the inbuilt Permission manager, "LBE guard" was the name I think with Titanium backup.. Later when I updated my rom with newer version, I LOST ROOT
I tried uninstalling all superuser apps and tried installing busybox, nothing works it says device not rooted, Checked on root checker, same response, device not rooted.. Now what can I do to get back the root... I even re-updated the rom but still same problem, NO ROOT HELP PLEAS

Just now installed stock Takju 4.3 image. Unfortunately, root is not working. I flashed SuperSU.zip, also did the update of the app via play store, but when I open the app I get the message:
"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
Any solution?

Chainfire's SU zip for GS4 4.3 works fine for Nexus also. Check his G+ post here:

same thing happened to me with yakju clean install, maybe it has something to do with this? http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-4-3-rooted-courtesy-of-chainfire/
1) You must flash the Android 4.3 modified SuperSU file: http://download.chainfire.eu/340/SuperSU/SuperSU-JWR66N-S005-130625-1.41.zip
2) If you're flashing via CWM Recovery, you must hit NO when it asks you to disable the recovery restore. If you hit yes, SuperSU will NOT work.

I also found that chainfire has made a post regarding this also

Hi,
I apologize if I use the wrong term in advance.
I rooted my HTC One a few month back following this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2473644
It has been working fine, I found out all of the sudden the phone is unrooted, it says "There is no SU binary installed", also, it failed to install OTA 4.3.
NOTE: There was a minor OTA a few weeks ago, I did update it.
I was wondering if someone could give me some directions. thank you
Did you install a custom recovery? That will cause the 4.3 OTA to fail. It will also let you flash the SuperSU or koush's superuser zip which should then restore your root access.
I don't have the ability to post a link yet, but if you search for Chainfire's SuperSu, you should find a page on XDA for 1.86. Download the zip to your One, flash it in recovery, and you should have root back!
Thank you for the reply. "I think" I found the thread you are talking about.
A stupid question, how do I "flash it in recovery"? thank you

Assuming you've installed a custom recovery, here's what you'll need to do. First, load up the bootloader, then use Vol+Down/Up to select Recovery. Hit the Power button to select it. Once that's loaded, you should see an option either for Install or Install Zip from sd card. Select that, browse to where you saved the zip file on your phone, and select it. And that should be it!
If you don't get some sort list of options when you select Recovery from the bootloader, you'll probably want to install either TWRP or ClockworkMod Touch. You can find those in the Original Android Development section of the forum here. Right now I'm running TWRP but I like them both.
Have fun!
I had a rooted M8, however something was going wrong as it constantly rebooted. So I did a factory reset and that fixed the problem. However now it won't root for some reason. I have TWRP recovery and flashed the root file however when I do root checker it stated that I do not have root access. Anyone know what's wrong?

Have you tried flashing a different version of the root program? I assume it's SuperSU (From Chainfire) ? It still gave me root access on 1.94 I saw that he already updated to version 2.00 by now.
Perhaps try a different version and see what it does.

I used SuperSU. Should I try Super User?
Just use the normal install method from Google play. Twrp auto Installs the su binary the first time it is booted in to. Then just update super su via play store.

Once booted into the os you should see the super su app. Go to play store and update it.
I have searched the forums for my device, and other people's posts trying to find a way to root my device. Towelroot did not work for me. I read that i could install Philz touch recovery and root with that, but i cannot find the version of that for my phone. If somebody could point me in the direction of a method to root my phone, i would very much appreciate it

You could download GooManager (or Flashify) off the Play Store, install custom recovery (TWRP) and root. It will install the one for your phone automatically.
You need root to use GooManager.
Im curious, what happened with Towelroot? I cant see any reason it wouldnt work. Can you tell me the steps you used?

I downloaded the towelroot apk, installed it and clicked "make it rain" and the app said i should have root. I downloaded root checker and it says i do not have root access.
After running Towelroot You have to install SuperSU from the Play Store, then open the app and let it update the binary and disable Knox.
If SuperSU hangs, reboot and it'll work on the second try.

I had tried CF-Auto-Root before towelroot, and it seems to have either partially installed SuperSU, or SuperSU just doesn't like my phone. It shows up in my app list as "eu.chainfire.supersu.MainActi" and force closes when i try to open it. I cannot uninstall it. (i should have mentioned this in my OP maybe)
Oh ok. That makes more sense to me for why Towelroot didn't work then. Probably the easiest fix would be to reflash the firmware with Odin, then try Towelroot first. Since you dont have root now, its going to make fixing the problem any other way near impossible.......actually, now that I said that, you could flash twrp recovery, then use its file manager to manually delete any traces of the failed root.
Still, I think the firmware flash is an easier and safer option. But its up to you how you want to proceed.

I successfully flashed TWRP, exactly what files should i delete?
Check the cf autoroot thread to be sure, but probably the su binary, install-recovery.sh, daemonsu, etc.

The recovery file manager does not see a lot of the files on my phone. It does see the SuperSU folder, but even if i delete or rename it, it just fixes itself upon reboot. I'm thinking of flashing the 4.4.2 firmware through odin, is a factory reset absolutely necessary to do that?
I flashed the firmware, ran towelroot, installed SuperSU, installed the binary, disabled Knox, and i am now running a rooted device!
Thank you very much DocHoliday77 for all of your help, i greatly appreciate it.
Which firmware did you reflash? Stock 4.4.2??
I cannot find towelroot on the app store. Are there any suggestions on what to do without towelroot

Hey,
Sorry to revive an old thread. I just installed towelroot from towelroot(dot)com, it went successful. Now my phone says "towelroot" can damage your device. :crying: What should I so, I can't uninstall it can I?
I installed "Root Checker" from google play and it says "Root access is properly installed on this device!"
I couldn't find SuperSU on google play.
What's next? My device is Xperia M C2005 4.3 Stock FW, Build No 15.5.A.0.18
Thanks,

Supersu has been removed from playstore due to some reason. You can download it from their website or just search on Google.

Thanks for your reply. I was just wondering, if my phone is rooted, do I need to install SuperSU?
I checked SuperSU website www(dot)supersu(dot)com(slash)DOWNLOAD and all the links seem to be dead.
I wanted to install TWRP recovery, I installed the app from playstore, flashed twrp img to recovery, but when I try to reboot to recovery, it reboots normally. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for your help.

If you are in stock rom twrp won't work. Cwm recovery might work. And yes you should install supersu so you know which apps are using root access.

Okay great, but now I have more questions.
Xperia M C2005, Stock FW 4.3 Build 15.5.A.0.18
Bootloader unlocked: Yes
Phone Rooted: Yes
Now can I install SuperSU via adb command? Few weeks ago I installed SuperSU on my Moto X via TWRP and that's the only method I know so far
or is there any other method? I found the zip file on download(dot)chainfire(dot)eu, now I don't know how to flash it without TWRP.
I'm also planing to install a cleaner much lighter custom rom. Can I do it without TWRP? If yes, how? If you can guide me to a thread or link that's be great too.
Thank yo so very much for your help. :highfive:

If you are already rooted then just install supersu apk. If you google it you'll find many sites having download links.
For custom rom, well I think you misunderstood me. You can access twrp while on stock rom. It's just that you can't flash anything I guess. (I actually forgot what was the problem anyways) I think you are pressing vol - button while power on. Try keep pressing vol + button after installing twrp through adb command. Then usual procedure for installation of custom roms
Here's link to how to install custom rom but one thing is make sure you flash magisk zip along with rom zip.
