I was able to root Karbonn A37 (MTK6577) using the software from t - http://www.mgyun.com/vroot.
After the root process it instalsl this app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mgyun.shua.su&hl=en.
This app is in Chinese and it manages all the root permission requests as well as installs its own su and some other files.
I have tried to root using many other methods available here and only the above method was successful. After rooting I tried installing SuperUser and found that su is always getting overwritten. I would really love to use the standard English version of su and superuser, but if I uninstall the the Chinese app, the root access goes away.
Was wondering, if anyone could suggest a way to make root permanent without the Chinese app and mange root permissions using superuser. Also what is this Chinese app doing, that none of our other rooting methods are not able to do?
More details on the chineese app here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2434453
Vroot to Supersu
You can go to the following weppage and follow the procedure
googlr search vroot to supersu and click on w0lfdroid link
It worked for me.

Can you please upload or email me a copy of your default unedited build.prop found in /system/ folder
I edited the file and stuck in boot screen

But I have success to my rooted TabPro 8.4 SMT-325. Kitkat 4.4.2 with Solid Explorer or Root Explorer.
Another problem is I can't install busybox.
Any help or input
Thanks
Hi there,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.

Did you install nut's dual recovery by chance? It has busybox included and if you try to install another busybox it screws up root. For SD card try this app, if you are still rooted and have superuser installed properly it should work.

What's nut's dual recovery?
I did try SDFix already, it doesn't work to me.
The purpose I need access permission is modify platform.xml for Titanium backup and mixer_paths.xml for volume boost headphone.
I heard about a custom rom can access permission mostly, is it true? If yes, I might try flash to custom rom.

If SD card fix doesn't work and gives you an error message. You don't have true root access.
I know because I faced this issue about a month ago, I was able to get superuser access just not edit files I know because I tried to edit the platform as well, so re-root your phone and install the dual recovery (optional?) if you make it that far, run kk fix it should work.
The volume boost is meh, you're better with viper4android

The root checker show **device have rooted**
I used Easyroot. Does your meaning use easyroot to re-root the phone again? Or get another tool? Any rooting tool suggestion.
Should I unroot from supersu before re-root?
Yes I know that.. Like I said I had the same issue, you may have root access but you don't have true root, so re-root your phone. It will fix the issue.
So again re root your phone.
And for me I did not uproot I just ran the root exploit and overwrited the old su
Great! I'll try to root again tonight.
BTW, is your device is XZU and root by Easyroot.
Thanks
Nah I have galaxy s2 but posting in xzu section. Yes I have Xperia Z ultra. And yes I did the easy Xperia root, plus I have dual recovery
IT WORK !
As you said re-root device again. Access permission available and Titanium backup to extsd.
Thanks all you guys input.
Zomg don't forget to thank me, hit the thanks button. *sarcasm
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
Hello guys,
i've ended in here from another thread which is locked LINK
As the OP of the thread, i've tried several 1-CLICK root apps (both Android and PC) with no luck (Mine is also as gift from mobile carrier).
I have screenshot of "Version" sub-menu, from something called "Factory mode" also i can access the tablet via fastboot and adb (see attached pictures)
Any suggestions?
No one?
I root it using http://www.kingroot.net for PC. Enable. Developers option, then adb USB whatever it was... And should work.

Well... Kingroot worked yesterday. Idk is because i've downloaded latest version or that i've added it as device administrator (also disabled built-in app permission manager).
Now how to replace kingroot with super su? I tried both Super-sume and mrw v2.4 with no luck.
First flash TWRP with the TWRP manager then install root browser goto /system/app delete kinguser restart your phone goto recovery and flash the supersu update

Well...it isn't supported. Is there generic recovery that can be used on various devices based on...idk, chipset?
fyi
I've managed to do it. idk exactly how.
Tried again this mrw (v.2.4) in the root of the sdcard. i'm not running *.sh files from terminal emulator, but via root explorer's script executor.
This time i've mounted /system RW before starting the procedure (found this tip in a lenovo a5000 tutorial that i saved in the past. It can be done via terminal emulator or with app like root essentials).
This time looked like the script hanged, king root has stopped several times and finally "executing script" popup disappeared.
However tried to install SuperSU manual (because script failed)
Then SuperSU returned that kingroot is still present in the system and can try to uninstall it (last time this did unroot the tablet), but with /system mounted RW i decided to give it a try.
Well, now i have fully functional SuperSU and root.
I have lenovo vibe shot and I have updated it with Android 6.0.1, rooted it with SuperSU 2.78
and installed systemless xposed framework on it all of the things are going well but
recently I tried to change the boot animation and I realized that I dont and I cant have writing access
to /system and any of its sub folders (i want to replace a couple of MP4 files inside /system/media
no matter if I use mount commands from adb from PC or any other app in my mobile, write access will not be given
for example ES File explorer says it is read only, when I click on write and click OK, it will show no error, but going to
same setting again it shows read only selected again
similar is the case with Root Browser
I think it is due to systemless root
But is there any way I can get write acccess to /system/media ???
plz help

Root properly
I did it twice using TWRP I flashed Super SU 2.78 2 times, it never showed any error
and went fine
Plz tell me a little more if you mean something else by root properly
Any app that needs root access is working perfectly fine except for this permission
setting issue on /system
