Maybe some of you have not seen any Superuser prompt that appears whenever you run apps that needs root (example are Link2SD, Titanium Backup) and etc. Out of frustration last night, I tried to find a way to fix this and I have indeed found it. Here are the little steps in fixing it:
1. Download and install BusyBox from Google Play Store.
2. Open BusyBox, select 1.20.2.
3. Click install, and wait for it and it's done.
4. After BusyBox has been installed, download SuperSU from Play Store.
5. Install and let it load.
6. After loading, press YES when asked to update SU Binary.
7. When it's done, press back and try apps that needs root like Titanium Backup.
And there, notification prompt would appear again!
NOTE: UNINSTALL, take note UNINSTALL previous Superuser app through Root Uninstaller. Main reason why that should be uninstalled so that there would be no conflicts with the SU app.
OPTIONAL: you MAY UNINSTALL BusyBox app but I recommend not so to avoid any problems.
I have also applied this method to my tablet that's already rooted but doesn't have Superuser app yet. A simple press of thanks is highly appreciated. Or feel free to donate to me. :3
You don't need to do all this all you need to do is install superSU then links2sd
(Reason for doing it like that it's that if you do it the other way around links2sd would ask for super user permissions from super user and will keep doing so even after you install superSU until you uninstall super user and you can't uninstall superuser without root so conundrum lol) and uninstall superuser if you don't uninstall super user all apps that you installed previously that need root permissions would keep sending requests to superuser (which isn't working) and that's it

can't you just change the settings in su? there is a setting for the default action when an app needs root access
I have had no problems with super user on jelly but thanks for the guide

The main purpose why I added the installation step for BusyBox is to update it in the ROM itself to avoid any problems.

But i think jellyblast has already got superuser access and it does not prompt becoz it is set to automatic.....
When the su prompt appears when app request su just tick box which says remember my decision and then allow
Every time that app starts it will automatically be granted su (a little box will flash on screen saying it was granted su)
No more user intervention is required
NO need to install busybox
just download supersu from play store and thats all.
If you are facing lags in jellyblast just install V6supercharger and get your fast and rock solid galaxy y

Hi all. I had rooted my A100 about a week ago and then last night BusyBox had an update notification and stupid me press the Update button. It said I needed the Pro version for it to install and that it supposedly had "uninstalled" itself because whenever I try and hit the BusyBox icon, it tries to install again.
This got me worried that my A100 wasn't rooted anymore. How can I tell if it is or not? There's a install thread where someone says open up SuperUser and make sure it says that you have root access. I opened SU up but I don't see any sort of message. Then I opened up Titanium Backup and there is a line there "Root Access" and it says "OK (BusyBox 1.18.4-Titanium from app)". Does this mean that my device is still rooted?
Yes, you are still rooted.
Busybox and Superuser don't give you root, they are more like controllers that let you take advantage of the root access. These do need to be installed though in order for root access apps to work. Most apps that require root will tell you if you dont have access.
I actually did a factory reset the other day, and didnt lose root. Just had to re-install Busybox and Superuser.
You can always try Root Checker https://market.android.com/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5qb2V5a3JpbS5yb290Y2hlY2siXQ..
Ive never used it, but it should confirm your concerns.
to see if you still have root, in terminal emulator simply type: su
and press enter.
If your rooted you'll get a # prompt rather then $ and you should get a message stating super permissions granted.

Thanks for your replies. Crossix, I did what you said and it came back with # prompt so thank you so much for putting my mind at ease!
May seem wierd but i seem to have this. I rooted my phone with a package THE-E (thnx for the root package) posted. I thought "get supersu" so i did but then i pressed clear binary as i saw no point in it but then su dissapeared but it was still in my system. So i used the unroot package (again THE-E thnx) but didnt delete supersu because i forgot. I pressed root explorer (as i wanted to delete it) but supersu was givin me that notification. I thought id check if everything from the root package got deleted and it did but supersu acts like su even though the packages required are gone. I was thinking of going back to root just in case my phone went haywire and it succeded but still...rooted while unrooted...anyone know what might of went wrong? Im using stock btw. This is not an everyday thing even for...idk...google them selves.

why did you have to clear binary? that is needed for Root access.
are your applications that needs root still working fine?
you can download busybox installer, and it will update your SU app and binaries just in case. if it wont work, you have to root your phone again (to install the binaries again).
Supersu (created by someone else) has its own binary. I dowloaded that binary but thought super su is nothing but a space taker so i deleted the binary. I did get a message before saying you can update the binary again via superuser (normal version) but before i know it the binary is gone, superuser is gone and all packages required for root are gone but supersu still works even though superuser is gone. Superuser gives supersu root permisions but now every root file is gone im rooted while unrooted. Is this ok? Could i brick it without an app or anything (reboot maybe?)

Seems like there are fragments of SU that you can't see in a folder. I had the same problem, just experimenting what happed if i deleted files that i don't need. Since that time the system runs stable (Bionic Cow) and also SU-rights are given to me without having these SU-files in the folder...
so im not the only one...

I need some help with Superuser. Currently running Mustaavalkosta 's CM11 BR4 and Superuser version 3.1.3 (46).
After clean installing the ROM, Superuser works and allows me to grant root permission to apps. Temp unroot works but updating the binary immediately results in 'downloading manifest... fail!' and if I click the 'try again' button, Superuser crashes. No big deal cause everything that I need it to do, works. A couple of days later however it just stops working and no longer grants permissions... I still have root. Temp unroot stops working and crashes Superuser when I try to use it. The file /system/bin/su still exists.
Things I tried:
- clear Superuser data
- uninstall Superuser and reinstall from Play Store
- install SuperSU
None of the above works.
Please somebody help me out here, I don't want to keep restoring my Nandroid cause it still is alot of work. Thanks
After doing some more research I think I fixed the problem by flashing the latest SuperSU.zip instead of installing it from the Play Story where it wouldn't let me update the binaries. I can now grant root access again to apps.
Still no idea what caused the Superuser issues but I 'm glad with this 'workaround'.
I was pulling my hair out for a long time on this. I threw this together quick, please forgive any mistakes in advance.
I wanted to give these phones to the kids with free freedompop 200MB data, and restrict the cellular data with AFWall to Hangouts for calls, Whatsapp (zero rated data free on freedompop) and the freedompop apps required by this SIM.
Here is the phone. You can get it cheaper than this, I got mine for 30 bucks each off eBay. They come GSM unlocked so the freedompop's UK SIM will work out of the box and allow you to roam in 30+ countries all around the world for free. HERE
The service is FREE and you can get the SIM card for 99 cents to 5 bucks depending on the promotions they are running, HERE
Next you will need a good link to Kingoroot, HERE
Install kingoroot, your ADB drivers and attach you Sky 4.0 to windows and make sure the drivers are properly installed.
Open Kingoroot and Press root, after some time you will see successful.
Now you should be rooted and have Kingoroot superuser and a few other apps installed. We need to get rid of the bloatware installed and swap out kingoroot superuser for SuperSU.
Next install SuperSU from the play store HERE
Open SuperSU and it will complain about the binary being out of date, you can try to update it, but odds are it will fail.
Next you need to install System App Remover HERE
Open it, find Kingoroot Superuser and delete it, then reboot the phone.
Once rebooted, open SuperSU and allow it to update your SU binary, then reboot.
First delete the kingo battery app
Now you should test SuperSU is working with any root checker from the play store.
If anyone is interested in my AFWall settings I can add them to this guide.
I'm interested in your settings
Hi I am interested in those settings. thanks
Suddenly I get a warning telling me to uninstall king root 4.9.6. I've been running same fulmics 6 for months and I just discovered the warning sign today.
What is this? Is there any potential danger to keeping king root? If I uninstall king root I will loose root privileges, yes?

Fulmics has SuperSu installed as System application,there was no need to install KingRoot..
Also if you have two Root apps (same like SuperSu),then your phone isn't going to have a good time..
So delete KingRoot and stay with SuperSu.
Greetings.
Thx. I used king root to first get root access so I could install fulmics. Iirc I found the king root from a post here on the forum, so I assumed it was safe.
I disabled king root.btw it is fulmics 6.1 I got. It seems all things good now. I feel a little paranoid, as I discovered king root is from China ?
I wonder if I should do complete install from scratch or am I safe as long as king root is not longer active?

The best choice is to uninstall it.Because it has setted it's self as a system application.
But also i think it has an option (in-app) "Uninstall".
In addition if Kingroot is unable to uninstall by using the inapp option then try installing an app from Play store called " System app remover" and delete it from there.
If nothing works then doing a clean re-installation of the ROM would be a great option.
A Tip:Never install an other Root application while you have SuperSU.
Let's take Kingroot for an example, when you have SuperSU and install Kingroot then automatically Kingroot detects that you have an other root application and it set's it's self as system app.
System app remover did the trick. Removed the King Root app. Result is o/c that adaway is no longer working. So I get to play around with SuperSU now. As I am new to SuperSU I am not sure how to get the correct settings. Should I make SuperSU a system app? Or set permanent full root?
Btw, I never had any problems running King Root. It was even a very nice way to charge the phone because King Root made charging go faster.
I've been thinking about the warning sign I got, and could it possible be a generic warning because King Root had root access? Meaning I would get the same warning with other apps with root access?
It seems strange that King Root that is mentioned som many times here on XDA should be crapware. Surely some smart people would have noticed and made posts about it? I am thinking maybe I panic'd and removed King Root prematurely?
Darn it. SuperSU won't run or allow me to set root access to apps. So no TWRP does not work, adaway does not work, root checker confirms I don't have root anymore and to make things worse, SuperSU says I need to upgrade, so I downloaded the latest version as a zip file to install from TWRP but guess what, no more root access. I will try to boot manually into TWRP and install SuperSU. Hopefully that will work.
And reading SuperSU thread it clearly says I must have ROOT prioer to install SuperSU.
Is there are fulmics setting somewhere I have overlooked? Can I set root from within fulmics tweaks?
Well I didn't get the SuperSU working, then I discovered that there was a newer version of KingRoot, v5.0. So for the ease of it I just installed KingRoot v5.0. As of right now, I don't have any warning signs saying Kingroot is bad news.
So unless it is a known fact that kingroot is infected by crap/malware/spyware/whatever I think I just stick to that one for now. I am used to it, I know how to work it and google didn't find any indications kingroot has been compromised . I saw a few posts about earlier version sending IMEI to china, but it seems that was v3xx. v4x and5x seems to be ok.
If this is stupid behavior and I should remove king root let me know and pls add some links or something to back it. I would hate to give a compromised app gateway into my phone but at the same time I think I was in panic mode earlier today and that my reaction was uncalled for.

Then if you are used to Kingroot just uninstall SuperSu(Install the system app remover from Play store ((the first app that appears)).
Because as i mentioned before if you have two Root applications your phone isn't going to have a good time.
(That may be the problem your phone went to Panic Mode)
If you have Kernel Panic mode problems (after unstalling SuperSU) a clean reinstall of the latest version of Fulmics ROM would be great..
PS:I don't know if Kingroot has any type of virus but I'll check if it has anything malicious.
As i checked you said that you lost root access and you took it back with Kingroot right?

Seems I am good after all. Turned out I messed up the fulmics 6.1 badly when trying to get adaway for youtube to work. So now I got fulmics 6.5. Yeah I know it is not the latest but I had slow internet connection and 6.5 was already downloaded but not yet installed so I just picked that and did a swipe, and twrp install of fulmics 6.5.
I did however install king root 5.01 again to get an easy way of getting everything else important installed that requires root.
If I don't see more warnings I think I will be fine. If I do I will take the plunge for superSU and read up on that before making the switch.
If I see those warning signs again I will try not to panic and try to keep calm
