you should only have to download Superuser from the play store, otherwise try to root the phone again.

I have tried to download Superuser from play store and it didnt work. And also is it safe to root your phone twice?

You must finish your rooting by an app and guided by some instruction from some websites. Then maybe the master there will have a post which guiding you back to the starting point.

Okay. Just like what you said, there is a superuser app. How can you get that? I don't know but maybe you took acknowledge at some instructions and rooted your phone and then you get it. So go back to that instruction. Maybe there is another thread which is introducing the way of unroot.
You know what i'm saying?

OK i get it, i got superuser app automatically after i rooted my device, then I uninstalled superuser app, then installed supersuser elite(at that point i realized i dont have root access anymore) and after that i uninstalled superuser elite and installed superuser again from play store. Nothing worked. I guess i will root my device again- nothing bad should happen, right?

You could ask that you didn't understand and asked for a better explanation.

hi
you are not obliged to use superuser app you can use supersu (from play store) , keep in mind that you have to update the binaries from superuser or supersu in order for root to work , you should also chack that usb debuging is checked on your phones developer options otherwise root wont work .

Well I think u can easily get over this. Just download SuperSU or any Other superuser app, install it, allow it to update its binary and ur done. Hit thanks if this helped.

Well, at that time i missed once just like you, and i rooted again without hesitation. But the second time i read the instruction hardly and i succeeded at last. Fortunately the error wouldn't happen. My cellphone is Motorola Xt615 and i dunno yours. I guess root on a second time is still okay.

Not sure which device you have as you didn't say and have a blank signature.
If you own a HTC you could always try flashing an RUU , which is an official ROM update program, that will flash the stock setup

Yea basically I'm trying to unroot. However, if i can manage to fix the device myself that would even be better.
I did the unroot process with superoneclick however, it keeps on leaving behind the superuser apk.
Thanks I really appreciate the help
for a while I got the homebutton, menu and search to work. I went into recovery cleared ou the cache and now it doesn't work again.

Install the PC software for your device and you'd find a recover option in it. Use it and it would return the device to how it was when you bought it.
The reason you are unable to remove superuser.apk now is that you unrooted before you removed the apk and manually removing apk requires you to have root.
If all you want it to just remove apk, root your device again.
Use root uninstaller and remove superuser apk.
And, then install superuser as user app from market(can be skipped if you are not going to do anything else that requires root.).
Unroot.
And uninstall superuser as you'd remove any app(if you installed SU again.).
But, if you are going to return the device for warranty claim, using the recover is the best option.

[Q] Unrooted, Superuser Won't Go Away, Can't Reroot

Hi,
I rooted my tab last year and it was great. My problems stemmed when I tried to unroot, as I have a factory defect and need to send the tablet off. I unrooted, and it worked, except that the ever persistent SuperUser application stayed. I don't know how to get rid of it or where it's located. Please help?
Thanks
Oh, and I tried to reroot but it didn't work.
You've still got superuser then how you sure that you have unrooted:what:
I m not too sure if you've successfully unrooted...
Try it again

Okay I tried it two more times using viperMOD PrimeTime. Superuser is still there. I installed Root Checker and it said I was not rooted.
Root checker is just an app that searches for superuser on your device...

I m sure your device is rooted still and you surely need a geek to sort this out

Are there any other root methods? Maybe I can redo the rooting process with a separate program.

Lost root on my LG P769 (superSU library problem)

Hi,
Sorry for my poor English, I'll try my best to explain my problem:
I have a L9 Optimus L9 P769 (T-Mobile). JellyBean 4.1.2, software is P76920f.
I rooted it a month ago using the LGpwn method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338816 ) and it worked fine.
Last week, there was an update (20f I guess), and also a SuperSu update (1.51) and since then, it seems than I am not rooted any more.
I have the infamous message from superSu that says "there is no su binary installed, and supersu cannot install it. this is a problem!".
I tried re-root, no luck.
I tried phone recovery (factory reset)+root. No luck
Every time I install/reinstall superSU (last version or previous version), i have the same message.
Any help would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks
Any idea ? :crying:

Yes, it is checked...
The thing is that it has been successfully rooted, and now, it is not. I always have that message from SuperSU every time I try to launch it.
I installed rootchecker, and of course it says that my phone is not rooted.

Disable supersu and enable again. If still have problems delete supersu and install superuser. Should have root access again, if not then idk. Did you update ota when you had root?
Sent from my LG-P769 using Tapatalk 4
Already tried that (but thanks anyway)... well, I mean uninstall/reinstall superSU. I can not Disable/Enable, I have not acess to supersu settings, it FC after displaying the message about missing library.
And yes, I was root when I updated (20f) OTA.
I just don't get it... there might be a solution. I've checked, spritebud is here. There is a .su file in system/bin/.ext.
I've googled my problem and found people with the same, but none of the fix worked (well, there was no specific for 20f afak)

Well just a heads up, never update when you have root. Will take away root. You have to use ota rootkeeper in order to keep it. I recommend you to flash 20d and update ota then re-root

You have to run the LGPWN fast, don't take your time and read each pop up. The first time I used it, I did it slow and read all directions, and it didn't root my phone. However, the second time I tried, I did it fast (didn't read anything) and it worked. You might just be running jcase root app to slow.
Good Luck

Phone Info:
- Samsung Galaxy S4 Verizon
- Model SCH-I545
- Build JSS15J.I545VRUEMK2
- Android 4.3
Ok, I tried Rooting my Phone and I use the Soft Root that was linked by someone on the forums. Gave me SuperUser Icon and used a app that checks to see if its Rooted and said it was. Now tried using some Root app's like GameCih and it tells me I need Root Admin or Root Privileges, something to that nature, and cant use the app. Iv been trying to remove that Soft Root but cant Figure it out. Used Odin3 and redid that .tar file for my Build. All when good and got everything the same as a fresh phone, but booting up still has the Pad Lock Icon and Custom logo on it and SuperU Icon. So I cant seem to unroot it, Tried to use the I545ALL-IN-ONE-TOOL posted on these forums but cant get it to working.
So what I need so to get this unrooted and back to factory default, and Rooted the right way, with I545ALL-IN-ONE-TOOL??. Please Help

Nope, I have no idea what these applications do, but a quick search on the forums basically leads to the conclusion that they're not ready for 4.3.
Given the build you're running, you're stuck with SELinux Enforcing since you can't replace the kernel. You'll need to find something else to do whatever you're trying to do.

[Q] Device rooted, but can't use SuperSU or root apps anymore

I rooted my Sprint LG G3 a couple weeks ago, and everything was fine. I was able to use Titanium Backup and a few other apps that need root access. Now when I try to use Rec., a screen recording app that needs root access, it says it doesn't have it.
StumpRoot shows it as rooted. SuperSU says it can't find an su binary and can't install one.
What can I do to fix it?

I rooted my Sprint LG G3 a couple weeks ago, and everything was fine. I was able to use Titanium Backup and a few other apps that need root access. Now when I try to use Rec., a screen recording app that needs root access, it says it doesn't have it.
StumpRoot shows it as rooted. SuperSU says it can't find an su binary and can't install one.
What can I do to fix it?

Uninstall super user and Try to install super su once it's done enable it... Btw download root checker just to make sure you didn't lose root

Root checker says I don't have proper root access.
Did an automatic software update mess up my root maybe?

Incompatible device.
Did you unroot using SuperSU at some point?

No. I rooted it with StumpRoot and went about my business, using a couple different apps that needed root access.

What was your solution? I have the same problem.
Stump root does not show up
Hi, I accidentally iuninstalled root using super su in my lg g3 while trying to find an unroot solution for another phone... Because I'm stupid lol. I tried to reinstall root using stump but like my title says it won't show up in the app drawer after I reinstall stump... Please help because I don't know how else to reinstall root for my phone... I can't do anything without root ! Thank you.

If you still have recovery, you should be able to just flash a rom.
If you don't, read the FAQ. When you unroot, you'll need to start from scratch. Stump is our only root and it only works the first time. Or when it's clean.
I never installed a custom recovery like TWRP OR the one that starts with C... I just have the stock room recovery and I don't see an option to flash a rom. What can I do here?....

Oops I didn't see the rest of your post for some reason... How do I "start from scratch?"

I would suggest following instructions on downgrading to ZV4 (since stump root works for force brute in order to root your phone).

Once you fully restore back to default stock, you will need to go ahead and install stump root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906
It will allow you to brute force root, which should take about 5 minutes.
After you reboot, you should have root. Go to the market and download supersu. From there you should be able to have root access. From there you need to download TWRP (my choice of recovery) http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-2-8-2-0-t2966129
Once that's done, you should be able to reinstall you ROM and profit.
This is all from SCRATCH as you suggested.

I feel you might need to fix permissions or try flashing su in recovery.

thanks for that instruction. I just ended up using the PC method with odin and flashed root using LG_Root_Script_by_avicohh. It worked perfectly and got me back to root. But thanks anyway!
I rooted my Samsung galaxy grand duos...it got rooted as well but super su is not working...what to do?
