Hello!
My phone (Cherry Mobile Bubble Android 2.3.5) was rooted before through Mobogenie's One Click Root. I don't have any problem my apps gaining root access. But i can't do software update, so i thought that's because of being rooted. So I did permanent root at SuperSU settings, and I have successfully updated my phone. But when I rooted my phone again, I can't gain root access through SuperSu. It always shows "Installation failed". I do have an update zip file on my sd cards root. But to no avail.
Please help. I'm noob regarding on this.
You cant just install SuperSU and expect it to work. You need to use your 1 click tool again. Or another full rooting method.
When you unrooted the binaries that was root were deleted.

In addition, I already did uninstalling and re-installing superSU. And I have also tried to use Superuser or any other superuser app, but nothing happens. I already did a factory reset, but still no change.

Thanks for the reply
I already did that. I've rooted it again through one click root, and it says i am rooted. But SuperSu says, installation failed. While superuser says, it can't gain root access.
I have lost root access before when I updated SuperSu, I can't remember what i did then. But i was able to get back root access.
If you have a custom recovery superSU has the option to flash the correct one manually.

No, i don't have any custom recovery
Is there other way for me to flash the correct one?
Try Vroot, its another one click root method. I used it on my Note 3 and installed superSU afterwards. One downside is it's chinese, so its hard to read lol.

Hi, I rooted my device with this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 and then unrooted. Now when I flash BB throught cwm it says it was installed but i dont have superuser and root access. How can i root my device again?
Thanks.
Try installing busybox and then Superuser or SuperSU apps from Google Play.
Once done, check root access with Root Checker (or similar) app.
Edit:
Or just flash one of compatible Chainfire CF-root kernel. You can also use his Triangle Away app to get rid of the warning triangle and flash counter.

Please make it clearer next time. You never mentioned you wanted to unroot again. Also you never mentioned you had tried cf-root.
To unroot, simply just flash stock firmware.
If Chainfire kernel doesn't root, you're obviously not following instructions properly. Suggest more reading.
You're welcome mate

But I want a simple root program like unlockroot, or that BusyBox guide - are you sure that there isn't a way to root with this guide again?
Not sure mate,
Sure if you flash the cf-root kernel. Will take longer to ensure correct one and download than flash.
Just follow the guide exactly and you can't go wrong.
If you really want to root previous way, maybe post in that thread for more better advice.
Sorry.

Should work, what did you do?
Using stock recovery open cwm.zip
Using cwm recovery flash busy box installer.
Reboot and you should be rooted again.

Did this lot of times (with stock rom and cwm recovery) and it still stays the same, without superuser. In addition, now when i try to install superuser from the Market I get error 941 - what does it mean? Maybe I have problem with flashing archives? There is a way to check if I still can flash files?
Thanks a lot!
Try clearing market data in phone settings/applications/...... & sign in again
Have you also tried SuperSU app instead of Superuser?

thanks, I clear the market data and now I'm able to install Superuser, but when I open the SuperUser there are no applications in the list. SuperSU says "there is no SU binary installes and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem", guess it mean I don't have root access? I think that downloading applications from market won't solve the problem, it should be installed when I flashing BusyBox. As I wrote before, maybe I got a problem with flashing files? (it's worked for the first root and unroot)
Try flash this through CWM. Superuser version and binary maybe a little old, but if works, you can easily update via Google Play.
After instal, your app list inside will of course be empty, should be prompted when a app requests SU access the first time.
when i try to install it it says: "e: error in /sdcard/download/SuperUser-3-10-1.0.7... (status 0)
installaion aborted.
what does it mean?
Not sure, would have to Google.
If I was in your shoes, and previous rooting method fails..... go with either;
A) Chainfire CF-root kernel and then use Triangle Away app to reset counter & remove warning triangle
B) Backup and save to PC. Full wipe and use Odin and flash stock firmware. Root again as per original method
Done

it's too complicated for me..
Think i would stay unrooted until there will be another simple root tool without changing the kernel :\
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
I found out that I have BusyBox 1.17.1 installed. I found it with the app "Root Check Pro". But I'm sure that I don't have a root access even thoght I have BusyBox installed. How can I remove it? "Root Check" says that the file is in "/system/xbin/busybox" and this information correct - I can see the file but can't remove it because I don't have root access. how can I uninstall it? or replace it?
* already tried install BusyBox & Superuser from the market, they don't do anything because I don't have root access :\
I attached pictures of BusyBox information and Root information. (from "Root Check")
Added some information... Still stuck without root but with busybox installed
So I downloaded VooDoo Root Keeper and backed up my root. Downloaded the OTA update and let it install. Once the phone rebooted I didn't have root, but I went into VooDoo Root Keeper and clicked Restore root. And Root Checker now report I have ROOT once again...
You have to reboot after restoreing root to get apps to work that require root.
And?

Lucky, i installed with nothing to backup root.
Even after installing complete stock, then updating it failed... I don't think this update likes my phone very much.
If I remember reading this correctly you have no problem getting root, it's just that you lose access to custom recoveries.. So therefore kind of pointless to update since you can't run custom roms
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
From what I read you will lose root with the OTA and not be able to re-root with the current known method. Am I wrong?

I agree the future custom roms will have the parts of the update we want and not the major part we don't. I'll never give up my custom recovery!!
Well I haven't ran any custom roms on this yet... But this is still helpful ad I do run AdAway, Faceniff and WifiKill... which all require Root .

root without recovery is better than no root...
Not to be a party pooper, but why is this in the development section?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda premium
It seems to have worked!
Following this process I was able to keep my root, have not tried using recovery though.
Use OTA RootKeeper to protect root, take OTA update, restore root using RootKeeper, update binaries using SuperSU. Existing apps that use root still work as expected!
Glad it worked for you too.
Has anyone else achieved this? I'm tempted to do it but obviously concerned as I do not want to lose root. I'm sure not every phone is the same.
Also, does anyone know if the OTA will work if you have frozen apps ( including frozen bloatware)?
sorry for the noob question, I got my 1st android device a couple weeks ago and I'm trying to get up to speed quickly.
I see some people saying they want to unroot to take the VRUAME7 update... and I see others saying they took the update which caused them to loose root privileges. So I'm still trying to determine if I need to (or should) unroot to take the update.
I have the stock ROM, so can I just take the update without unrooting first? If the update succeeds, what are the drawbacks of not unrooting prior to the update?
Note: I do plan to unroot first. this question is mostly just for my understanding.
If you unroot prior to the me7 update you will not be able to get it back. If you keep root with voodoo through the ota you lose custom recovery/ability to rom.

I used odin to root and went two weeks with just a stock rooted phone. i downloaded team venum jellybean and used CWM to install. at the end of the installation when i went back to reboot i got a "may have lost root" would you like to fix, after doing this and the rom loaded i had lost all root permissions...Anybody know where this noob went wrong? You can be brutal in your repsonse my fellow internet travels, any help would be thankful.
Did you double check if you still have root access? You can check by installing root checker from the play store. If you do still have root access make sure you still have super su installed. If not install that from the play store as well. Worst case scenario of you don't have root access. Just root again.

Did you install a recovery via odin? If not you can't install twrp through goo manager if you haven't installed a recovery yet.

So I was rooted and I ran a security program just checking viruses and I saw a virus thing called Android exploit root.. So I searched up Android Exploit Root but nothing came up except how to root and other stuff so I just deleted the things that the virus scanner said there were two a system root app and a data file I don't actually know .. but it couldn't be deleted so I installed a system app uninstaller and uninstalled the system app which was called Kinguser and after that I restarted my phone and root was gone I tried to re root but nope it fails I kept on trying but nope.. well I searched up how to unroot and I was supposed to deleted the su file in system/xbin or system/bin but I didn't do that first now I'm stuck... Also I tried to install a stock firmware but I couldn't find any for my phone. My Phone is Galaxy Core Advance! HELP I NEED TO ROOT AGAIN!

Kinguser is the root app hence why you no longer have root. I would suggest flashing something like supersu or even superuser

Not necessarily, if no custom recovery is available you can still root it. You already have had the device rooted once

Like I said I did install it while I had kingroot but deleted after about an hour ago but I think the busybox files are still there in my phone Im not sure still dont have root though
This has worked for me before. Just run the King user app, don't even try to re root it. The app should try to fix itself and *MAY* install your missing files.It has worked for me countless times. Hope it helps.

Does anybody know how to root the note 3 sprint with lollipop using the the base band OC5, please help with a step by step guide.
thanks
Update: I made my way to root I combine two methods to do it, thanks to all of you.
Use the latest method by chainfire for kitkat. That's how I did it.
If you dont care about knox, I would just odin latest twrp and flash supersu zip. Super easy.
Sent from my SM-N900P using XDA Free mobile app
Could you elaborate on this latest method of rooting by chainfire?
Use CF Autoroot from chainfire. You can find it here. I used this method and it worked perfectly.
I heard Chainfire method isn't approved by XDA, can a veteran confirm?

What two methods did you combine?
I'm on OC5 and I was thinking of using towelroot. If that doesn't work, I would then try Odin flashing to NH7, then towelroot. I don't want to trip Knox since I have Sprint's insurance. If those methods don't work, then I would consider Chainfire.
If I trip knox, can't I just flash back to stock to reset the counter?
The easiest way to gain root is to flash a recovery, twrp or philz. Then flash a superuser zip file. Then clear cache/dalvik (should really be called runtime cache now)
I'm having an issue regaining root on stock 5.0 (previously rooted). I rooted with CF via Odin but found Supersu conflicted with one of my other apps. I used the labeled option in Supersu to uninstall/clean up to switch to another super user app. I tried ChainsDD's app first but was unable to get the binary to update (even with the update fixer so or odin flashable). I then tried Clockworkmod's app and experienced a similar issue but lost root all together. Since then I've tried: Reflashing cf auto (causes phone to freeze on sprint logo at boot)
Flashing Supersu update.zip 2.46 and beta 2.49 made for 5.x firmwares (same issue as cf)
So far the only way I've been able to get the phone to boot after attempting to root is by odin flashing the OC5 update again. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
