[Q] Improperly rooted

I'm kind of new to Android, but I have decent computing experience. My problem is that I recently rooted my SPH-L710 (stock rom) and when I ran Busybox I received the error message "There was a problem opening a shell with root access. This is either being caused by superuser/supersu or by a device that is improperly rooted. Try removing the superuser/supersu permissions, uninstalling this app," etc etc.
I have attempted various methods using things like root explorer and terminal emulator to remove/ change the permissions so I might delete the su file, to no avail as the phone isn't properly rooted. One thread on here mentioned that formatting the sd card - I assume it meant the phone itself - would do the trick. After that, I would of course have to flash a rom, correct? Thanks for your time.

I would do the rooting process over again, with a new download of all files.
Do you have cwm or another custom recovery working?

I'm running CWM. I've successfully rooted a few times before, but this last time it didn't work. I unrooted and then rooted again three times and even re-downloaded all the files (cwm, odin, rom) but I can't seem to fix this. I'll attempt it again and hopefully it'll take this time.

Fantastic! I flashed the su binary zip, rebooted and superuser was already to go and phone is now properly rooted. Thanks very much! :good:

Thank you!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you. I had been having issues trying to get root on my Sprint GS3, and nothing worked until I used that SU.

Root problem.

Hey all,
I believe there is a problem with the root in my brother's phone.
It is rooted, CWM 6 touch, and Cm 11 kitkat.
So the problem is now that any app that requires root does not work! The superuser is installed and it gives me the notification whether to grant the app root access or not. So I allow the app to access the root but it does not function correctly.
For example the GameCIH, I give it root access and try to change a value in any game but it does not work.
Also the MacSpoof.
It used to work perfectly before (Tried to flash cwm6 and I soft bricked it but then fixed it all. Thanks to the help of some users in xda)
So what seems to be the problem and how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Sorry I should have posted this in trouble shooting and help section.

I actually did a couple of times but it didn't work. I tried wiping everything and flashing other cwm and rom but still same results.
Thanks for replying.

try re-flash using ODIN

Try supersu 1.93. It has option to root/unroot and is the leading root app
install from playstore or get flashable ZIP here.

Maybe the SU Binary is outdated ?

reflash your root, problem solved.. the problem is only the root access.. try to update app and binary. want simple, reflash root, or even reflash root. greets

[Help] Rooting failed

I tried to root my Samsung galaxy fame with Motochopper but it failed near the end. Then I tried to do it manually using cmd and instructions found on a different forum. But that failed aswell. I then used SRS one click root but it said Cant mount system (or something like that). Then lastly I used Framaroot 1.9.2. There was only one exploit (Aragorn) and when I went on it it said Failed. The error code for that was Error Code #7.
So can anyone tell ne if my phones impossible to root. (BTW Im on android version 4.1.2 Jellybean.

I need more help now. When I got Root Checker it said my phones not rooted so I ran SuperSU again and it said I needed to update my SU binary and then it said installation failed. Why did that happen.

Thanks. Now I installed SuperSU but havent replaced VROOT (yet!)
I think this thread is quite useful to people wanting to root their Fames as many methids didnt work. :thumbup:

TIP: Dont install any siperuser because it will ask you to update but it will fail so keep the vRoot one.
I literary just found out

I really dont mind the Chinese thing since it says allow or deny in english and once I allow it it wont ask me again.
Also last time I tried flashing I bricked my tablet.

apps installed on the system partition have access to root without the need of SU to control it. When you install an app like superSU you now give that APK control of any request of root rights. When phone asked for root it didnt know that you have an app that is now handling the request and thats why you were notified.

Oh n Santod, I'm on 1 of your stock rooted odexed roms, I noticed SuperSu isn't installed as system app when I look in the settings in SuperSu, is it better to leave it as a user app, or go ahead with the install as system app??

It works just fine as is, no need to change anything.

Did not installed a Recovery before ROOT

Hey guys, this is my first post here, so if i intrude or break any rules, I'm sorry in advance.
I got a Zenfone 2 and rooted it by following the One-click ROOT method from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/zenfone-2-root-easy-t3114003
I did not install any CWM/TWRP on my phone since the instructions on the thread did not specify it. After the ROOT process I updated SuperSU using the "Normal" option and not the "TWRP/CWM" option
Everything worked perfectly, and then i installed Xposed Module from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/tool-installer-xposed-installer-zenfones-t2983589
After a while i received a notification that an OTA is available so i decided to uninstall Xposed and Full UNROOT by using Super SU. After all of the process were done, i check my phone via the Root Checker app, it said that "ROOT Access is not properly installed". After that i boot into Recovery Mode, cleaned everything, checked again with the app, but it still says "ROOT Access is not properly installed". What do i do to completely remove the ROOT Access? Do i need a Custom Recovery like CWM/TWRP for that?
P.S. I already flashed the latest official frimware from ASUS using ADB so now my phone is up to date, but after i checked, the ROOT Access is still there and it's still not properly installed, so decided to ROOT it again until i find a way to completely remove it.

I'm pretty sure that is just root checkers way of saying you are not rooted

Thanks for answering.
You think so? Because when i was using my Samsung S4, before i rooted it, i ran the Root Checker app, and it says "ROOT Access is not granted", also i still can't get OTA updates despite that message.

Try a different root check app and compare with its screenshots on playstore?
