Hi,
hope someone can help me, because untill now it was not complete clear for me.
I just got Root access on my htc one X (at least this should be the case)
But in order to test this, i want to try some different ROM.
But to use anything regarding different ROMs i need SUPERUSER and most important SU BINARY
I can install superuser without problems.
my question: WHERE CAN I FIND A CORRECT VERSION OF SU BINARY, AND WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS?
Because now he is still asking for SU binary which he can not find in the system!!!

Use chain fires supersu from the playstore. When first run it updates the binaries

Actually, you did not get root access yet. You need to install the su command as part of rooting the device.
I suggest you try again. Find good instructions on how to root your device, and follow them.
When you find a method that works, it will install the su command and the Superuser app, and set permissions on the su command.
This is usually done automatically by a program running on a PC, connected to the debug port of the Android device with a USB cable.
Then you can test it with an app such as Root Checker, which you can find in the Play store (free).
If I'm not mistaken custom roms come with superuser already installed, so all you need to do is unlock your bootloader at htcdev, install custom recovery then pick a Rom to flash (not forgetting to flash the boot.img through fastboot before installing the Rom through recovery.)
To update binaries just open the superuser app and it should tell you if the su binary needs updating

i jst rooted my phone...i have super user version 3.0.6 installed on my phone htc one v but when i root checker it says that my phone is not rooted...i tried updating su binary nut it fails ...i dont have busybox installed...plzz help
Do you have a custom recovery installed did you really install superuser or have you only downloaded the app? The proplem can also be caused because you have installed the stoch recovery again.

i installed ri primo superloader i did not download the app
I just flashed Omnirom 4.4.2 kitkat. The rom flashed fine, but I lost root. I tried reflashing root from recovery, and it said it worked, but when I reboot and open SuperSU it gives a message that it cannot install the SU binary, and if I just upgraded to 4.3 I should check XDA forums for my device. is there another SU file I can flash that will work? or can I not get root back with this ROM?
Just as always,
There is a program for windows called kingoroot.
Use it and you got your root back.
Also, don't forget to update your SuperSu app to the latest version!
(In future, please search in existing topics or just google it. There are a lott of topics about the same problem!)
I installed a stock recovery to update to 4.4.4 OTA. I then installed TWRP(openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-m8) through fastboot and attempted to install the super SU zip 2.00.
The file seemed to install properly as it gave me no errors, but I did not have root access when booting into the phone. I then tried CWM recovery (recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.8-m8). CWM installed the super SU 2.00 zip without any errors as well, but warned me before reboot that my root access was not found, I selected the option that "fixes" that, but still I am without root.
I like the 4.4.4 features but I don't want to be without root, please help me guys.
Let me know if you guys figure anything out for the stock rom. I just jumped on the latest cyanogenmod nighty till I figure this out.
Do you have s-off?
You should definitely get s-off as it makes everything so much easier.
But in the meantime, I would download the sunshine.apk and run it. It will reboot your phone and ask you to confirm and enter PayPal info. I believe your phone at this point has a soft root. If you now run superSU and allow it to install the binary, you should have root.
Ive tried to root my phone with zip file and flash with twrp but the su app keep saying I dont have root installed.
any help?
Edit- still need help
Never mind
Try downloading SuperSU zip again. If 2.37 doesnt work, try 2.39 beta.
