Hello Xda forums,
i have been using my device rooted for months succesfully. Now I needed to use Titanium Backup, which did not see my root. So I tried updating my binaries where everything got screwed up. It started not to work and stuff. So I re-rooted my device through Odin again. Now my device is rooted but it does not have SuperSU. When I install SuperSU through Google Play, I get "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. There is a problem!"
So, I need to remove all current files relating to SU and re-root device through odin again. Or at least i think this would work. Anyways since my roots not working, i can't remove the files, or let any app remove them.
Any help, please?
-Also no personal files or apps should be gone. A way without losing would be grand!
please guys, help me. I need to solve this as soon as possible..

Do you have a custom recovery like CWM, TWRP or 4ext
If yes : Put it on your SD card and reboot into recovery then install from zip, reboot and your done..
If no : Download MobileODIN off play store and follow the instrucion from there..
BTW : Look at the discription on play store your device may not be supported.

Well that didn't really helped. Done it as you said and SuperSU still says "there is no SU binary installed.."
I tried installing the latest 1.65, should i have tried an older one?

No, you don't need a older version.
When reading your first post again, i got a few questions
1. What happened after you tried updating your Binaries?
2. Did you had SU before?
3. Did you fully remove your root or did you just re-root a rooted device?
4. Are you 100% sure you had root before?

1. I tried to update SuperSU through Google Play, and it didn't run succesfully again. (Worst thing i've ever done.)
2. Yep, my device was rooted via CF Auto Root w/ Odin
3. I couldn't really remove my root, since all the ways require to have root before -.-
4. Yep, I was using many apps requiring root without any problem before all this took place..
I think what I need to do is to remove root completely and do it all over again. I can't just factory reset my device, I have lots of files, documents, apps, it would be a pain in the ass

Well there is no other way, Just backup all your files,documents and apps with Carbon,Super backup etc.. And then re-root it.

I am trying to root my Vibrant running froyo. I tried the update.zip and also superoneclick methods, none of them seem to work. I was wondering if there is any other way to root my phone without using ODIN.Thanks!
Pull the Clockwork zip from my signature and then also the Superuser zip too. Put the SU zip in a folder and the CWR zip on the root of your internal. Boot into recovery and hit Reinstall Packages. It will cycle through and boot back into stock-blue recovery. Hit Reinstall Packages again and the recovery will turn from blue to Green. Scroll down to Install from SD card and find the Superuser zip from earlier and flash it. Once done, reboot and you should have SU. Might have to update the binaries. If you do, go to market and download Update Fixer. Install and run it. It will fail. Force Close it and restart and run it. It will cycle through and you should be good to go.

You don't need to have CWR at all. It is just a good teaching tool for future. If all you want to do is Root, the just put the SU.zip on your internal card, boot into recovery and hit reinstall packages twice and you are rooted.

More or less the same as I wrote up there only w/o Superoneclick. I have never been able to get that to run correctly on any phone. Some have, but I haven't.

Hands Down Easiest Way

This ^^
Exactly what I use to root, works like a charm and only takes a minute or two
You may have done something wrong if superoneclick didn't work. Did you put your phone in USB debugging? Also, if you install update.zip from recovery, that will work too.

Hey Guys,
I am new here and having the same problems not being able to root.
I'm also running a Vibrant 959 on Froyo 2.2.
So far I've tried the following:
-one click for t-mobile vibrant on mac
-superoneclick running an XP Machine w/framework 2.0, 3 & 4
-V4 app
Nothing has come to fruition for me. I've tried the soc method several different times and checked the threads about making sure usb ports are functioning and usb debugging is on. I've ran it with the SD card installed and w/out external SD installed.
With SOC it keeps telling me that my phone has been rooted but superuser doesn't show up. I even tried using an app called root check basic which tells me root access is not available.
I'm coming up dry as to why SOC works in the videos people post but I am not successful in running the same thing on my phone.
Any ideas?
Please disregard above post. I finally found the problem was i was running recovery 3e which was rejecting the signatures.
I installed the modified 3e in the link mentioned above and finally got the system recovery to re-install the update.zip folder.
Haven't tried superoneclick since the modified 3e was installed

your link says you have two files. cwm and busybox. did you install both?
even if you have stock recovery, its not an issue as long as you're rooted. If you're going to install a custom kernel, you'll get a custom version of CWM anyways.
Guys I was trying to root my bro's GS3 with odin.. the flashing went perfect, infact there was a SuperSU and CWM app installed too, but when i tired to open the app it was showing that SU bianary needs to be updated..
I even updated the SuperSU from the Play store but was getting the same error essentially.. also tried the Superuser FIxer app from PS but it also stuck at
Gaining root access :fail
I tried flashing the SuperSU 1.51 .zip from the recovery mode by placing it in internal memory but to my surprise the file path of the internal memory was not visible and when i inserted a sdcard and copied the file to it and then tried to flash it thru recovery, it was successfull but got a few erros , something like who file not successful(will try again and post exact same thing in by tomorrow)

I do not think your ROM is rooted properly. Try to download some software from play store to check whether it is rooted or not.
If not rooted then you have to google and search the rooting process. You have to use computer ODIN to flash and root your phone.

Having SU app does not mean your phone is rooted. Thats just an front end to provide you root access. Your phone has to be properly rooted.

Do you have a custom recovery? Did you flash cf-auto root? Philz touch is a custom recovery based on cwm. Flash that with odin, go to philz settings and then re-root system.

The simplest place to start is a root checker app (just stick root checker into play store). If it says that you don't have root then you don't simple as that. In which case use CF-AutoRoot program on your pc which will flash both a Custom Recovery (clockworkmod) as well as root... after that, the world is your oyster...
The root checking app is the simplest way to check if you have root though if you're new to stuff like this.

I am sure you were using stock, based on the OP. Get the custom and have a go. If you flash auto root it will give you stock recovery. You need to check philz or cwm threads for the odin flashables.
Hi all I recently rooted my Micromax A116 and desperately need help with following:
1. I used RootGenius to root my phone. I now want to wipe my phone and do a factory reset. I've already backed up important stuff but now need the phone to be as good as new (with root access). How do I go about doing this?
2. Once it's reset, which recovery and rom am I supposed to use? The threads here use other root methods so I don't know what works with what I used. Do I even need a custom rom?
Please talk to me like I'm five because I've basically 0 understanding of all this.
Can someone please help?
Can someone at least tell me if it would be safe to unroot, do a factory reset via settings and then re-root again?
Please help me, I'm desperate.

The first thing you need to do is to install a custom recovery which can be twrp or cwm according to your liking and then download flashable zips of any rom and
go by the instructions given in the rom thread

Ok but my phone is already rooted but the instructions on the rom threads are for both root+recovery. So I'm concerned if I try to re-root on top of an already rooted device it will cause problems. So what can I do to just install recovery only? there are no instructions for that.

do the following steps..
1.download and install mobileuncle tools.
2.download the latest recovery which you want... either cwm 6.0.5.1 or twrp 2.8.3.0.
3.place the recovery in your sd card in the open i.e., it should not be in any folder.
4. rename the file to recovery. hence the file will be recovery.img.
5.open mobile uncle tools, go to recovery update.
6. 1st option will show the recovery in your sd card.
7.click on it... then press ok... then reboot.
8.Done!

Thank you for replying...I had given up and wasn't expecting a reply at all so didn't check for last few weeks.
So where can I download the latest version of cwm? there seem to be so many versions and most seem device specific. I'm not able to figure out Edit I've downloaded an older version which is mentioned that it works for micromax a116, is it safe to download a later version if its not specified it works with this phone?
I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy S5 using Odin and an autoroot file. After that failed, I researched how to restore my phone to its original OS. I have not been able to do that either. I either can only boot to the Odin Mode screen or am locked on the T-Mobile logo screen.
BTW, I am new to phone rooting so more detailed explanations would be appreciated.
Are you able to boot to recovery? [ home+volume up+power]
If so you can reset from there.
If not you should be able download the stock firmware and flash it with Odin.
FOL1 is the latest - it takes a long time to download from Sam's.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900T/
Jim
otisdog is right, sammobile takes forever to download which is why you should download the exact same file they linked to, but from here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24407100847293882
Since cf-autoroot didn't work for you, you should just install TWRP with Odin and use TWRP to flash supersu zip, that's more or less what cf auto-root is doing anyway. Boot your phone into Odin mode (home, vol down, and power), connect your phone to PC with USB, and install twrp-3.0.0-0-klte-klte.img.tar with Odin (AP button, auto-reboot option disabled). When the status bar is filled, you need to immediately boot into TWRP without rebooting system (this is where you hold down home, vol up, and power). In TWRP, install supersu zip file. Now wipe cache and dalvik
If you reboot to normal android before booting into TWRP and flashing the supersu zip when TWRP is first installed, the operating system will overwrite TWRP with the stock recovery, and you have to try again.
Thanks OtisDog and thisisapoorusernamechoice.
While I am downloading TMB-G900TUVS1FOL1-20160111153316, I tried your directions for installing TWRP and had success. I was able to boot into TWRP. (First boot success since I started 10 days ago.) I downloaded supersu zip and have it on my Windows 10 computer. I assume that I do not unzip it in Windows, correct?
From TWRP I clicked on Install and got the phone's files. When I clicked on Select Storage, the USB storage choice has 0MB so the option is disabled. Should I have started TWRP with my USB cable still connected? My computer still recognizes that I am connecting something to it while TWRP is running.
If that is not the problem, how do I install supersu zip into my phone?

The supersu zip needs to be in your phone's internal storage or micro SD card. USB storage is not used for this

Since my phone has no SD card slot, this sounds like a Catch 22. I can't get my phone to work without installing the supersu zip, but I can't install the supersu zip without getting my phone to work.

You don't need the SD card, you can put the supersu zip file in your phone's internal memory and flash it from there in TWRP. Also if you have a Galaxy S5, you have an SD card slot. It's on top of, yes literally on top of the SIM card slot, can be a little confusing and hard to see until you know what you're looking for (see attached pic for clarification, sorry for my halfassed paint job lol).

Thanks for the photo. That helps.
My latest problem is that every time I restart my phone, some shortcuts (Hi, Google; Gallery; magazines; exercise; camera) are added to my home screens and the default home screen is changed. I suspect that by clearing one of the caches, I can fix this. What do I need to do?
You can go into settings and find "backup and reset".
In there uncheck the backup and then do the factory reset. This will wipe all data and reload the os like when the phone was new - you can then put on it what you want.
MAKE SURE you have anything that's on the phone now, that you want, backed up on your computer because it will get wiped off the phone.
Once you get the phone to where you want it we can work on rooting it.
Jim
The instructions from thisis... worked great for me, although I accidentally did a full wipe from TWRP - no biggie, I was backed up. Thanks!
I appreciate the clear and concise instructions I've seen so far, I got as far as flashing superSU zip and wiping cache and dalvik, what next?

Yeah that's weird. Since you're running kit Kat should of installed system root. Or maybe I'm wrong on the zip being able to root kitkat/use system root instead of systemless.
Open the supersu app and see if it asks to update su binary
Otherwise I'd just try flashing it again in twrp or finding a much older supersu zip to flash. (Probably a 1.×× version)
You don't need to wipe caches tho.

You are flashing it in twrp correct?
Because you should have SuperSU installed then

Yes, I did, and no, it didn't.
Well, I eventually gave up on that root technique, and ended up using This instead, so now I'm running 6.0.1, and it seems to be working alright, but SuperSU says "The SU bianary needs to be updated!" and when I click it, it offers me the options of "normal" and "TWRP/CWM" as ways to install the SU bianary.
I know just enough to know that I don't know what I'm doing, and thought I'd get some advice before I proceed to screw something up.
Which option should I go for, and if TWRP, do I need to re-flash it with Odin like I did to install the 6.0.1 ROM, or is the process different now?

I always just click normal. Then it'll ask to reboot and just allow it and you'll be good to go
