I'm trying to root my tablet once again after I accidently unrooted it. I done tried three diffrent rooting methods: "SparkyRoot" "debugfs" and "Primetime" and all came unsuccessful. I keep getting a message in the command prompt saying access denied when it try to copy files to root it.
It look like this:
Found system partition at: /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
Step 1- pushing files...
failed to copy ' debugfs' to ' /data/local//debugfs'ermission denied
failed to copy' su' to /data/local//su': Permission denied
failed to copy' debugfsinput' to '/data/ local// debugfsinput': Permission denied
failed on '/date/ local/tmp'- Permission denied
^^^^I get that everytime.....what could be the problem, how do I fix it. Before you ask YES android debugging is enable and YES Unknown Sources is enable. So please tell me what I need to do to fix this problem.
You have to be able to obtain root permissions to mount the file system with RW so you can move/copy files to then get root all the time.
The permission denied is because you arent root and/or havent remounted teh filesystem read write (possibly because you can't get the access you need) and this the file move/copies fail.
How do you root? Good question. One I have been struggling with for days.
I have the same issue with my infinity
TF201 Root Fix
I was having the same problem when trying to regain root access after update to JB from ICS. Try Urkel's Fresh Root or Urkel's Fresh Start, see the thread on this site.

I installed the leaked ICS update, but I have apparently lost root. I tried using Voodoo, but it just says that it has been denied Superuser permissions and that there is no root backup available.
So I tried just plain rooting it using the Motofail method again, to no avail. It says that it is successful in completing the exploit.
However, no matter what app that requires root that I open, it says that the app has been denied Superuser permissions without even prompting me. Root checker says I am not rooted.
I went into the Superuser app, and I went to update the SU Binary. It says that Superuser has been granted Superuser permissions. But then it fails out at the end and says "This updater cannot update the su binary on phones that have some kind of write protection like S-ON. You can continue to use Superuser with your outdated binary, or update su with ROM manager."
I shouldn't even need to update the binary though, since it says I have the latest one installed.
What can/should I do? It's getting kind of annoying not having root on my phone.
Something along the same line happened to me too bro,I also made a thread about it but to no avail:-/ if you find something out,let me know and I'll do the same.

So if you dont have root access, will the terminal move the unzipped su file? How can you apply this to your sysytem? Voodoo doesnt give you options to search for the file either. Of course, nothing has superuser permissions without root either. I guess Im too much of a n00b.
Same here
Na dude its not noobish,im tryna figure out everything myself,I've been flashing since the hd2,so i know a couple things but this is just mind boggeling lol
I'm at a loss. I've downloaded your su-backup file, but I don't know how to move it to the /system folder, as it is write protected, and I don't have root to bypass that. And whenever I tried typing things in using the terminal, it just denied everything.

You can't move this file to system folder because you have a non-rooted device. Be patient, we are working hard on that....

Do not update
I had the CHT 9.18 too, I had Rootkeeper backup but cannot restore root after updated.
DO NOT update to 9.20 if you want too stay rooted!
I have to flash back old firmware and factory reset to start from scrach again but I had Titanium backup on MicroSD.
Don't try it till there is root method for CHT 9.20
Thanks for the log.
From your log, it appears the /data/local permissions have been changed in the latest update, thus the Debugfs method as it is currently will no longer work.
Your only possible options would be to downgrade the firmware, reapply the root, run OTA rootkeeper, and try the OTA again... however as your device is the padfone, I'm not exactly sure in what ways you need to go about doing this.
There's some discussion on the subject in the below thread around page 221ish, however there's no new root solution given as of yet.

Just out of interest, did you apply the OTA or did you download the 500MB file from the ASUS support site and install that from the SD card?
Does anyone have the ~146MB OTA file? And if not, does anyone have the exact file name?
Thanks.

I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to take the latest ota zip for the Xperia S, decrypt it, edit the version, repack it, then be able to flash it. Right now it will not let me flash over the current version r5 because it is the same version. I am stuck on the blue wave animation perpetually after screwing up my services.jar. I have no adb access and my only hope is to flash in recovery or wait until the next update comes out...
I was told by a Sony tech yesterday the Jelly Bean update for the Xperia S will not be until January...
EDIT: There is a way to fool the recovery. Does anyone have a modified r5 ota for the Xperia edited for a higher incremented version they could share?

If it is the same as Sony Tab S then you would need to disable the signature check to flash a modded update. To add to the bad news, that is no longer able to work with new recovery (that came with r5, for older tab anyway)
Any chance you can take it in under warrantly?? They may not be able to tell that you messed with it

Thanks for the response. Yeah I guess I am going to have to send it in or .. the other option is to wait for another update, but not knowing when that will be sucks. The Sony tech told me yesterday (when I called to find out my options..and I can send it in) that the Jelly Bean update is coming in January..So the question is will Sony have another update to ICS before then. Perhaps..

stifilz is there really no other way we can revert back to the old Recovery?

I have tried to flash 11000 (3.2), 0035(3.2.1), 0042(3.2.1R2), ICS, R1A and NONE of these change the recovery back, i also tied NZ and US files, I was lucky enough to locate US files and had the NZ files saved to my PC. I have looked into AIO tool and read through the code, it runs a certain command in adb shell in recovery (WHICH WE NO LONGER HAVE GRR) so it can not be done ATM.
Maybe there is some file we can change on the tab to enable shell in adb again. From memory shell does not work with non-root devices and when we root we can use adb shell. (Can someone verify this, bad memory lol)
Anyway there could be something I am missing, well hoping anyway
You know you can change the incremental in vendor/vendor.prop to a lower one to flash an OLDER OTA.... Right??

Use AIO tool. Tweaks and mods then install rescue backdoor
Or
Download root explorer or similar. Open riot exolorer and navigate to vendor folder.
Long click vendor.prop and then select edit with text editor
Change the number to a lower one. Take of the last digit will do.
Click three dots for options and save
All done flash what you like

I rooted my strange tablet using Kingo and apparently it was succesful:
http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/t539/talos910/Screenshot_2015-09-11-17-08-20_zpsurdgzj8p.png
But I have been trying for days to erase a file in /system and I have not been able to do it, I think I have read every relevant thread about this problem but no luck, I tried using ES and changed /system to r/w in the root options but when trying to delete the file all I get is operation failed, the same happens with all the other root explorers and tools. I even tried the solution on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/help/edit-replace-write-files-set-immutable-t2884172
but still can't delete it.
Also the app root toolkit for android gives me this weird error too:

Do you have an app like root explorer that specifically asks for root permissions? It doesn't matter if you have root if the explorer can't use it
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Yes all the file manager apps I used always ask for root permission, that is the problem they have root permission but still can't delete the file, which is weird because I can use apps that definitely need root like scr screen recorder and greenify just fine.
Try installing root explorer and then attempt to delete the file, then it should instantly open a window asking for root. The of course grant the permission. That should always work, but if it doesn't just restart the tablet, if it still doesn't work it must mean you are deleting a file that is in use by the system. Otherwise i have no idea whats wrong

Rooted my device using kingo root, I didn't intall other recovery.
Bad idea to try and remove system files without a custom recovery and a nandroid backup made and stored in a safe spot. What are you trying to remove?
I am trying to delete /system/sbin/su because I read in another thread this was the solution to fixing the issue of the app supersu not updating binaries when rooting your device using Kingo.

That is the binary. If you remove it, you wouldn't be rooted. Can you link the thread you are looking at? There's an app made specifically for replacing that su binary with SuperSU and it's binary called Super-SUme, though I believe it is a paid app.
I know it is the binary but according to this guy:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/support-update-failures-t2907365/page23
(post 223)
""It appears kango wrote to /system/sbin/su whereas supersu wrote /system/xbin/su and subsequently supersu would keep wanting to update 'su' then fail.
The long and the short of it is once I manually removed /system/sbin/su supersu stopped telling me 'su' was outdated. I don't know android but I do know linux.
$PATH on my tablet has /system/sbin/ prior to /system/xbin/ so it would appear supersu is issuing 'su -V' as opposed to '/system/xbin/su -V' when it checks the version. The kingo 'su' was older than the supersu 'su'.
Dunno what the solution is 'cos the older 'su' is going to get called first & I figure there's nothing but trouble to be gained from changing $PATH globally. Nevertheless it might be enough to check $PATH for unwanted 'su' and flag them, possibly offer to remove them? In my case I renamed it "/system/sbin/su.ORIGINAL" so that it's still runnable in an emergency"""
If you rename it, it won't be able to run, and won't require removal.
That's the thing I can't rename the file either for some reason. Using es and other root explorers doesn’t work.

Seems like the SU binary that Kingroot included is pretty finicky and only works for some things. I've rooted 100s of devices and have never had issues like that. Have seen complaints about other various oddities with Kingroot too. It's nice that it's easy and works on a variety of devices, but if you have only limited control then that kind of defeats part of the purpose of rooting it...
Tried using SuperSUme but the app says I am not rooted with Kingo? wtf? Do you guys know of any other reason why i can't erase the system file sbin/su?

With Root Explorer, does it let you set the system to R/W? There's a little button at the top of the app that will say R/O or R/W for Read Only or Read Write. If you don't have R/W to the system, then you are unable to make changes to it.
I just renamed file su and then it became able to be deleted.

Connect your android tablet device to your windows computer. Then enable usb debugging on your android tablet. Then open the windows program called cmd. Then do these commands.
Code:
adb root
Code:
adb remount
Code:
adb shell rm /system/sbin/su
