Did everything correctly from start to finish, flashed the SuperSU and Busybox package, but still no root access.
Couldn't install binary on SuperSU so I tried superuser... begins to download the update but fails at request for root access.
Please HELP! TWRP installed fine, i've installed the 4.2 camera keyboard and clock through twrp and they all work fine...
Titaniumbackup says it has root, but I guess that isn't right.. lol
fastboot says *TAMPERED* and *UNLOCKED*.
I also apologize if this isn't the right place for this, I can't post in the development thread due to the fact that i have <10 posts
You sound rooted, if not you wouldn't have been able to install the 4.2 camera. download superuser and try that. if all is good. then try superSU.
Also reboot your phone and try to install superSU again. but you are rooted.

Sorry I meant to include that superuser failed to gain root access in the process of updating. SuperSU won't even update, just goes to installation failed.

are you trying to flash the binaries from the SU app? if so you can't do that with S-on you need to Download the Zip from the SU website and flash in recovery... watch one of the videos on root/ custom recovery they explain it in detail

how do i push the zip back to to SD card via command prompt if neccesay(if i wipe data)
also, im reluctant to perform factory reset from HTC bootloader menu w/ unlocked bootloader

From what I understand if you are flashing the available custom ROM you must wipe system AND format data for it to install successfully. If you are able to get back into recovery just wipe those two and reflash the zip I believe you will be good to go after that.

Finally got it to work. Fix was around xda. Had to install superuser and I then disable superuser in SuperSU and now the superuser updates correctly. Super su still asks me to update and fails but I guess I'll just use superuser... Weird also it reboots when the update fails sometimes
My problem is that I rooted the phone OK but randomly apps will say that they cannot get root. Like titanium backup will randomly do that, a reboot will usually fix it. Thoughts?

I found that manually launching Superuser, then launching TiBu worked when TiBu wouldn't get root.

md5 mismatch is because the backup is unrooted...

no... md5 mismatch is because the backup probably failed and the device rebooted before it completed. this is a known issue with both twrp and cwm recoveries on HTC DNA

OP, go see my post in this sub-forum about not being able to update the su binary. It should solve your issues.
Sent from my rooted and debloated Droid DNA.
I'm having the same issue, but disabling root in SuperSU doesn't work, and when I update the SU binary in SuperSU or Superuser my phone reboots.

First I got back to stock by RUU-ing through adb. Back to 4.0.3, PH98IMG_ICS_4.03.605.2 after locking the bootloader.
Unlocked the bootloader back.
Then I installed AmonRa recovery.
Booted, completed the setup and went back to recovery and selected the from from Dev's menu, "Install superuser and su".
The Superuser app is installed.
Checked with the root checker, and its saying unrooted.

Which version of amon ra ? I am not certain , but I pretty sure version 3.15 the install Su didn't work. Thought he fixed it in 3.16 . Otherwise, just install a custom Rom .

Then install Busybox

Or can do the above and just choose a custom rom, with a normal data & system wipe prior to flashing.
Hey guys,
I have an i9300, rooted with slimbeam installed. A few days ago I dropped my phone and the screen cracked and the display disappeared; so I got it replaced. When I turned my phone on again, it was stuck on the boot screen. So I fully wiped my phone and flashed slimbean again (as I already had the file on my external SD card). This got me passed the boot screen and my phone is working fine except it seems like I don't have proper root access. I downloaded a root checker and thats the message I got "Does not have proper root access" and when I run superSU it said "the su binary needs to be updated" so I click on update and I get a message saying " install failed. Reboot and try again" I reboot and tried again and same error
Anyone know what my best course of action would be?
EDIT: It also randomly keep rebooting.
Thanks a lot guys!
Cheers

i did flash superuser from the respective thread. When I run the root checker app I still get the "Sorry! This device does not have proper root access". When I run SuperSU it says "There is no SU binary installed and SuperS cannot install it. This is a problem! "

I have an HTC One M8 with ROM 4.16.1540.8 (5.0.1)
I'm trying to remove my SuperSU app so that i can downgrade it to a lower version(2.20) due to incompatibility with some of my apps (puzzle and dragons).
Bootloader is unlocked and it is s-on.
I have tried removing SuperSU through the app itself by using the reinstall, switch superuser app, and full unroot functions, but everytime I restarted the phone superSU would be back and in version 2.46. I also tried manually deleting the apk and su files in the bin and xbin folders in system using es file explorer but a restart just brought those back too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Find the flashable zip for the "older" version and flash in recovery. I would think that should do it.
Hi thanks for the reply.
I flashed superSU 2.23 from recovery, but i got stuck in bootloop. What should i do to fix it? Thanks!
Edit: flashed the updated su back in and got out of it. How do i do the downgrade without a bootloop?

Hmm, wouldn't expect that to happen. Obviously, since I would never intentionally bootloop someone!
Flash the stock ROM or restore stock nandroid. Then flash the desire SuperSU zip. That's the best I can think of.
Make a nandroid backup of your current setup (if you haven't already) to revert to "just in case".

So you tried to flash 2.82? I don't think that is the proper way to update. Since you already have SuperSU installed, you should just be able to go into the SuperSU app, and update the binary from there. Or is that what led to the "binary occupied" error?
But back to the basic question, you can't "unflash" SuperSU. You can "dirty flash" Lineage (just wipe cache and dalvik, can keep user data), and that will put you back on the "unrooted" Lineage ROM. Then you should be able to flash SuperSU 2.82 via zip.

So I just successfully installed CM13 on my i9300. Everything works fine, but I just found out I lost root rights.
I went and downloaded the Super SU app from the PlayStore, launched it and that gave an error that there's no SU binary installed and I need to manually root again.
So I downloaded UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip, put it on the sdcard, rebooted into CWM Recovery, installed the zip and booted back into the system (when prompted to fix boot I selected no as recommended), but now I STILL HAVE NO ROOT RIGHTS and the Super SU app still gives the same error.
Is there a specific SuperSU.zip I should be installing in recovery to make it work?
Or is something wrong with the recovery and do I need to flash that through Odin? (I don't think this is the case though, as flashing CM13 and gapps went completely fine)
Thanks for any isnight and tips

I got the same problem. I tried to root with odin again but it didnt work...
Flash cm13, wipe data and cache and flash cm13 again. Cm13 should be pre rooted.
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
Hi Guys, I have the same problem too after CM13. Unfortunately rooting again with ODIN flashed stock recovery back and am stuck on CM13 now with no root and stock recovery. Can someone help please? Below is the detailed description of what happened.
----------------------------
1. My Samsung Galaxy SIII International (I9300) was rooted and I had CM11 stable/snapshot version there since last 2-3 weeks.
2. Yesterday, I tried upgrading the latest CM13 nightly for my device.
3. While doing so, and rebooting, it asked me the normal message "root possibly lost, fix, yes or no". I accidentally pressed no.
4. Then I noticed after CM13 was flashed, that I do not have root access anymore. Please note that at this point in time, I was not aware that it has to be explicitly enabled in developer options.
5. I came to know that I lost root when I tried to boot in to recovery (CWM) to install gapps.
6. Now, under the impression that I do not have root anymore, I tried to root again with Odin as I had been doing all these days.
- By doing that, ODIN removed my custom recovery (CWM) and flashed it with stock recovery.
- Though ODIN said PASS after reboot, I still do not have root access.
7. Removed cache, wipe data, and factory reset, multiple times but no help.
8. Enabled root for both apps and adb in Developer options, but no use.
9. I also tried KINGO root ( a very popular tool for SGS3 these days) but in vain.
10. Now, am stuck with CM13 and stock recovery and unable to do anything with ROM manager or anything else as I do not have root anymore.
11. Am able to install few apks for whatsapp and facebook for now and living with it, but it wouldn't let me install playstore apk too anymore.
Highly appreciate any quick feedback.
same here after rooting once cm13 by developer option, for some reason i had to use hide my root app, now unable to get root back
Its a problem with the s3, it forgets root. The most reliable is chainfire and sticking with a stock rom.
You must:
Wipe to factory,
flash an original rom via odin,
Boot straight to recovery and wipe to factory again,
Flash original rom again,
Boot straight to recovery and wipe to factory,
Allow the phone to boot.
You must flash at least twice and reset to factory at least twice, even tho I sad it thrice, to kill all remnants of the old rooted rom.
Then you can flash chainfire via odin and go from there.
Beamed in by telepathy.
Please can someone help me sort out my S6 edge. I was trying to root my phone to change my encryption pin to a 20 digit passcode. I used odin to put twrp-3.1.1-0-zerolte.img onto my phone and now it is stuck on TWRP and won't boot normally. Could someone please tell me how I can remove TWRP or even just make my phone boot as usual. I never made a backup or copies of my photos and I really don't want to lose my data. THANKYOU! for anyone who can help me out I really appreciate it.

The way I was trying to root the phone was for (I believe) unencrypted devices, therefore I never actually rooted the phone just put TWRP onto it and it didn't work the way it was supposed to so I stopped.
I've never rooted a phone before and therefore don't want to rush into fixing it incase I cause irreparable damage.
I read on these forums that to do what I was doing I would need to use adb sideload because it's encrypted. I have got android sdk, adb but haven't done anything yet. I'm hoping for someone who definitely knows how to fix it before I go ahead and make a mess of it :\
I had Samsung Knox installed on my phone, I've just found out that that has probably caused the problem? Is it at all possible I can fix this and not lose my data?
TWRP says: Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer
I have tried wiping the cache and nothing changes.

OK, calm down. You haven't lost anything or likely to if you just slow down a bit.
OK first things first, what caused the actual boot loop?
Describe the exact steps. It wouldn't have been TWRP itself. Ignore any errors you are seeing regarding /data they are irrelevant at the moment.
Did you install SuperSU and which version? Did TWRP ask to install its own SuperSU version?

Then your issue is you haven't installed Supersu. Once you've installed SuperSu V2.79 SR3 then your device should boot.
Your issue is likely dmverity. SuperSU will fix that by patching the boot.img.

All you really need to do is flash the stock recovery and boot image as your system partition should be unmodified.
You can flash the whole firmware and it won't affect your data.
If it's a 4 file firmware you should only need to flash the BL and AP parts with ODIN.

One good reason to never run encryption on the device.
If you want to attempt data recovery, download the app disk digger pro. It has a high success rate of recovery. Just ensure you save the recovered files to SD card.
Just to note though this app needs root to work properly. You can use magisk to gain root rather than supersu.

I believe it was the google photo gallery but it hasn't synced anything
wouldn't have been so bad if I could have at least saved the photo's. and I doubt any recovery program will get anything because of it been encrypted but I can give it a go for nothing
