Your problem is almost fixed, here is what you need: http://batakang.com/ftp/SGH-M919/MDB-SetUIDOff.zip
Flash it using CWM or TWRP recovery and reboot the phone and you will see the magic!
After doing this go to the play store and see if there is an update of SuperSU if there is then install it and reboot the computer.
(do not install superuser).
Good luck!

It still says it doesnt have the binary installed but it still grants any rooted applications lol.... ill keep messing around with it maybe i did a mistake when i did it on the motochopper

The latest version of superuser does not play well with twrp... Titanium Backup, CPU Sleeper, etc..still have superuser access... After flashing I just chose ignore but if you select 'fix' it will restore the old version of superuser. To update binary, I flashed Phantom kernel v1 from Infamous S4 thread. That fixed me up.

Your are the BEST news you have gave me how to fix the problem on t-mobile binary problem to root the galaxy s4 .IT DID WORK THANK YOU VERY MUCH the other top dogs that they root their phones dont know about this fix in you tube.. thank u again.

[Q] Problem about SU

Hello guys,
i am using Android Revolution HD 33.1 on my HTC One X. I want to ask a question. yesterday, i installed some modes via Xposed Installer. but after rebooting the phone, i have a warning popup message about SuperUser. it says :
"
Install
---------------------------
The Superuser binary (su) must be updated.
Please choose an installation method.
Recovery mode installation is recomended for HTC devices.
Cancel - Recovery Install - Install
"
do i have this problem because my recovery version is old? or maybe Superuser version?
i think, i use SuperSU v0.94 (something like that, i donot know exactly, but in that time, there was v9.6 or v0.96 whatever). and i use clockworkd mod recovery v5.8.4.0.
Could you please briefly tell me what to do?

[Q] root priviliges, unstable and lots of fun.

hey, im new to Android, after moving on from my Iphone 4 to my the new M9, i start wondering.
i got my phone unlock booter threw the devHTC,
got it S-ff with the great app (that i forgot the name) which i payed for it.
installed SuperSu update to give roots privilages, and also BusyBox Free.
thoese are my problems:
1. installed SB game hacker, and its says after i gave it root privilages that i dont gave it, or i dont have root acces.
the thing is that with GameKiller i do get root access...
2. trying to apply patch with the Lucky Patcher sometimes i get root unstable window error that asked me to update my
SuperSu even thew its update to last vesrion.
3. again with Lucky patcher (which does get root privilages for sometimes) - i try to install threw the toolBox -> patch to android -> Signature Verificcation Status Always True , and after it reboot i go back to it and it says its not patched. like the patch failed.
i tryed to clear the core.jar and the service.jar but it doesn't help, it doesn't patch it.
4. i got the new System Update 1.36.709.3 and when i press Install now, it enter the teemmod (the developer mode which i can wipe, install and everything) and does nothing. after reboot to system it ask me again if i want to install, and again go to this dev mode (which is needed for installing supersu to the system).
5. same as befor, apps like clean master doesn't get superuser privilages and cannot disable auto start apps even thew superSu do allow it. also, CPU manager in Battery Life app always get off after a while, or after a reboot.
i hope i could get help cuz im really lost in finding a way to fix all of this.

Please help?

Hello,
You need to fix your root situation.
- Open supersu, and do a complete uninstall.
- Download the latest super su flashable from chainfires website (Google it)
- flash it in recovery mode
- boot and install supersu free from play store
- report back here
Also, if you flashed a custom recovery you cannot OTA update the stock Android, that update requires stock recovery to install.

Basic terminology:
- Recovery / recovery mode: Instead of booting into the Android OS, you can boot into the "recovery OS" (located on a partition of the phone storage, just like the android OS is located on its own partition). The OS used for the recovery partition can be either stock or custom - popular custom choices are TWRP (TeamWin Recovery Project) or CWM (Clockwork Mod) - TWRP is the best choice for the M9 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-t3066720
- To flash something: To install something (always a zip-file, never apk files) while the phone is in recovery mode
TL;DR: Yes. :good:
Kind Regards

Okay I got 3 options - reinstall which is not what I need
And 2 more which are cleanup for switching userroot app
And a full cleanup for preparing uproot.
Which one should I pick.
Also I used last time Supersu 2.49, and now from the site is gave me I downloaded 2.46
I understand 2.49 is beta - so which one to pick?

2.49. Place it on the SD card of the phone before unroot. Choose complete unroot in the su app.

Not having SD - and install it from the internal storage of the phone can **** it up?

I press. Uninstall and it get stuck on it. I let it run for more then 40 min
And it didn't finish

Complete unroot just got the phone stuck?? If so, please walk me through the life of your phone from unboxing, eg what have you done with the device in terms of unlocking it, flashing stuff etc. Also, what carrier and soff status...

I mean got stuck on the please wait- I was able to switch app.
Also after trying few time to uninstall it - it worked.
I flashed the super 2.49 opened google store and unlocked the app.
The CPU manager in doctor battery still turn off after a while.
Also auto start app disable in clean master still says it don't have room access even
I have it again.
And I tried to install in lucky patcher the signal true - and after long "please wait"
And a auto robot it says it not patched.
What to do ?

Do you see a prompt to allow root access to the apps asking for it?
Can you post a screenshot of the Super su app with allowed and disallowed applications listed?
Are you on stock ROM with custom recovery?

In the super all allowed listed.
I didn't change any stock rom. I'm on the default of HTC m9 system.
And I'm still-off, and unlocked

That is really wired... Either we are missing something obvious, or your system is really messed up..

Guide , help please?

Find your device/carrier RUU and start over, if you went through all the steps to get s off, you should have made a back up that you could start over with in recovery. If not search for for the RUU or original system file in the m9 forum For your SPECIFIC device.

device is unrooted after cm12.1 ROM installation

Hello guys
I havea problem after CyanogenMod 12.1 installation on i9082
Everything works fine but
I can't have root access, it seems that the device got unrooted after the ROM
I have tried to enable developer options
And I checked root access in the setting to Apps and ADB
but I still get unrooted messages when I try to open an application that requires root
Also I tried to flash supersu from CM recovery but the installation stops in the middle
I tried several different versions of supersu but still the same problem.

Install Twrp or other custom recovery, dissable update cm recovery first in dev option, then install supersu.

Hello thanks a lot for your reply but twrp custom recovery requires root access

What do you mean? Did you installed twrp manager app? Not that app, you need to flash Twrp/cwm.zip file through cm recovery. Or find the cwm/twrp.tar file and flash by Odin.

check it under Grand Android Development thread, there are twrp and cwm in zip file, can be flash through recovery. Same thread with cm12.1 that you flashed.

Flash superuser zip.
Your Rom is Pre-Rooted But you need to flash latest Superuser.zip to gain Root accesses .

Try type this in dialer *#1234#* or *#*#1234#*#*. If any of 5hose doesn't work, visit supersu thread.

OK I tried these lines but nothing happened can you give me link to supersu thread?

cm12 has root disabled by default. Activate it from developer options.
Or you can flash supersu

SuperSU on CM13

Hey all. I just flash that ROM. Works really nice. But I can't find SuperSu installed. Also apps which needs root permission didn't worked. I just go do download SuperSu from market and the program shows me an error told me to reboot and try again. Can you please help me? Thanks in advance.

You ALREADY HAVE root with CM-SU. To enable it, just go to developer option and give root permissions to app. Some SuperSU's versions are incompatible afaik. CM-SU preinstalled is just fine.

SuperSU is an issue for itself. Installing 2.74 using TWRP on my G3 lead to boot problems because of a boot image patch that SuperSU installs. If I restore boot partition before rebooting, SuperSU doesn't install. Using Play Store version fails to install su binaries.
Conclusion: use CM own root. It works nicely, just lost FolderMount but, well, I prefer that instead of losing phone.

Have you try this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/bump-supersu-t3273251
CustomPatcherScript_Bump.zip + UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip
But it's also can cause reboot loop
Do backup before doing flash that script
That worked fine with my D855 32Gb + CM13
