I know what im facing is not new but i didn't got proper solution hence creating a new thread.
Im using Grand Quattro which was rooted via Kingo but after OTA update root was broken. I tried to re-root using Kingo but in vain. The SuperSU app is still present but only SU binary is missing. I want to know if there is any way i can install only SU binary. Also if there is any way i can get root access doing simple procedure using Kingo or any other app and does flashing CWM recovery and SU binary using Odin or without Odin clears Phone data??
Need assistance from all will be much appreciated

Flash CWM on your phone and let it root your device. You won't lose any data.

My phone has been rooted for a while now. I've tried various custom roms.
I recently did a format and installed Villainrom 2.0. When i try to use root apps such as mobileOdin or battery calbiration, it says the phone is not rooted.
When i go to superuser and try to update my SU binary it says the installed version is LEGACY.
when i try to update it, it gives me an error saying failed to find currently installed su binary. Update cannot continue.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm trying to flash ICS using mobile odin (because odin doesn't detect my phone). But obviously need root access. Which i'm quite sure i have because my CWM is working fine.
Root it again save all the messing about .

Reflash Kernel first.
If also doesn't work, reflash rom or directly new rom ;-)
CHEERS ;-)

Does it have to be Odin that's used to root and install cwm....
Feel stupid now.
Thanks for the advice guys.
Turns out i just had to download the latest SU binary.
Hi guys.
Few days back I purchased Canvas A110Q (Canvas 2 plus)
Its om jelly beans 4.2.1 so all the methods posted here for rooting it failed as there is no space in system folder. So i have few questions which I think some experienced peoples can answer. I wanted to ask:
1)Can I install CWM without rooting my Canvas A110Q
2) Can I install rooted rom without rooting my Canvas A110Q?
If yes then how can we do the same.
Please answer my questions, I am eagerly waiting to root my phone.
Thanks
No you cannot you need to root it or else it won't even work. Thumbs up if I helped

I have installed rooted rom in my samsung without rooting the device using Odin so there must be a way to do the same for Micromax canvas 2 plus. May be via sp flash tools.

using any flash tools
in Samsung there are odin flash files also other than the cwm zip
I don't know about mocromax
why don't you just root it and use the cwm

Actually these days canvas 2 plus comes with version 2 ROM, so all the methods provided to root this device fails because in this rom there is no space in the systems folder i suppose thats why when we tries to root it, it always gets failed because su does'nt gets pushed in system folder.
So I wanted to flash pre rooted rom or downgrade it to version 1 rom but need steps of doing the same via flash tool or any other way.

su needs just 1 mb that will be there if not
check to root without installing su
you can rrot your phone with some oneclick software try with that and get rooted and uninstall some apps and push su to the system manually

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)
in the meanwhile can anybody help me? plz its urgent..
phone was on stock rom 4.3 OS before root

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.

ya i know its not rooted as i cant get the root access, my question is that shall i directly try to reflash thru odin?
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.

Hey there!
Download the supersu zip from the following link and flash it from recovery.
It should fix the problem you are getting.

You need the latest cwm recovery to update... Old versions of cwm cannot update the New binaries... Try using cwm 6.0.5.0 or 6.0.5.1..

Installed cwm 6.0.5.1 succesfully and tried installing both supersu 2.4 and 3.2 . nothing is working . what is next ? i still get the su binary update needed notification
i have cwm 6.0.5.1 and supersu 2.4... i have no such notification... by the way we now have twrp 2.8.3.0... so try that and see if your issue is solved
My phone came rooted. I cannot remember doing anything wrong but one day, I discovered that the root has gone and anytime I tried to open supersu, I get "There is no SU binary installed, and Supersu cannot install it. This is a problem!" My phone Build num: P780_s136_140306. I have tried to flash through recovery mode the update-supersu-v2.45.zip file but i keep getting installation aborted and error. I need to get my root back and I need assistance. Thank you

Thanks for the response. I have already tried to root again with framaroot but it did not solve the issue. I have uninstalled supersu update, unrooted, restarted phone and root again but it did not solve the issue. I have also cleared cache from recovery mode and also done a factory reset before rerooting, yet the issue persists.
