I have an android phone, Qmobile A500. Which last night I tried to Root, I tried out a new software instead of Bin4ry to root my phone. MtkDroidTools was used by me. Which in turn shell rooted my cell phone; this is the term I came to know after tons of Googling, that a partial kind of root is known as Shell Root.
I can even see that in the main page of the Software too. Yellow light of it, tells me that the Phone is not fully rooted, once I click on Root button. It gives me Rooted phone, but (shell rooted).
I have tried using MobileUNCLE Tools, to update recovery. I was able to get to recovery 2 times, but had errors. Now, everytime I reboot into recovery it attempts to restart into recovery and then restarts my phone back.
I tried uninstalling the SuperSU application, but it doesn't get off of my phone.
I don't know what to do now. All I need to do is to gain root access to install CWM recovery, I do have the recovery.img file. But I am not able to update the Recovery of my phone. Or if I can reverse this process and unroot my phone and reroot it using bin4ry that would be helpfull too. Any help guys?

I have Xperia U awhich i had rooted with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 withouth unlocking the bootloader.
Recently my phone failed to start at the screen got stucked on the Xperia logo so i had to repair the installation by updating the phone with ICS from update service.
After that my phone seems to be half rooted, it installs the root apps like SuperSu , busybox but it has lost the su binary files.
The SuperSu gives the error 'Su binary not installed and SuperSu cannot install it'. I know this is a common problem i searched a lot on it and the best solution i fiund was to flash the SuperSu zip file from Clockwork Mod recovery.
But i dont have CWM as i didnt unlock my bootloader while rooting and i tried to install it but it didnt get installed as there was no su binary.
I cant un-root my phone i cant re-root it. I have tried everything but nothing works.
Is there no way i can have root access again?
] PLEASE HELP!!Su binary not installed and SuperSu cannot install it.

Sorry i cant understand what you are trying to say. My problem is i am already rooted and i can install SuperSu but it gives error that su binary is not installed. I tried to unroot and re-root from 'Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18' but the process gets stuck midway and nothing changes.
The only possible solution i found to install su binary was from CWM but i dont have cwm and there is no way to install cwm without supersu permission.
Is there any other way to install su binary?
Or is there any other way to install cwm without it needing su binary?

It gets stuck at the reboot stage. It doesn't reboot the phone when i restore the Root Me file.
When i rebooted it manually after waiting for a long time, it corrupted my phone with icons turning black and phone slowing down. So i had to repair the insatllation again with update service.
If i re-root it with some other method or maybe with 'Bin4ry v31', do you think it will work?

Please help! Anyone?
I have a Huawei Raven H892l.
I have already rooted the phone months ago using Kingo root.
After using Kingo root some applications are still giving a "no root" error.
I am also unable to use flashify or install any custom recovery like twrp although after the initial rooting it allowed me to make several backups using flashify but now responds with the "no root" error. Also over time new problems have appeared seemingly out of nowhere such as the initial ability to fix the write permissions on my sd card which has just failed this week after absolutely no changes to the system. now i am unable to use the SD for write purposes and i cant do any recovery.
additionally I have already tried to update SU and Busybox to no avail, I also re rooted using Kingo but without unrooting also with no change.
can and should i try to side load the original twrp backup and will that even help?
any other suggestions would be welcome as well.
Thanks.
Hello all,
I followed this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/general/root-t3421932
And I sucessfully installed TWRP and rooted my phone. Everything worked fine so far, I was able to use root and access the custom recovery all normal.
Now I come across a discrepancy, I wanted to update the new PokeGo app by following this tutorial, to install in a rooted phone: (the new update blocks access to all rooted/jailbroken phones)
http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/09/11/guide-play-pokemon-go-0-37-rooted-android-magisk/
But I found a situation when I want to uninstall root, in SU, I get an error of uninstallation failed... I tried all the options and I can't seem to revert root. Another situation is, when I try to boot up the custom recovery, It gets stuck in the white sony bg logo and it doesn't boot up. I tried to flash recovery img again by flashboot and it didn't work... Now I'm stuck with no recovery or a way to make a backup of everything..
So the question is, and i guess i know the answer already but I will ask anyways, is there any way to unroot this with flashtool? I don't want to lose any of the current phone settings/data, I was maybe thinking I could just reflash the FW with flashtool, but I wouldn't know if i should be ticking all the boxes or just the kernel one for this.
Anyways, any help/ideas are appreciated.
flash the ftf of the build number you were using at the time and then untick flash user data
Install xposed and next install module BSD mod tools to hide root
Flash stock boot.Img, and unroot it with SuperSU
Someone knows any methods to root this phone? I already tried Kingo, Genius but no success. Using Odin apparently TWRP don't work on my device. When I go into Recovery Mode, instead of appearing the Recovery Mode by TWRP appears the normal android interface.
