Hi there,
I have a Lenovo A806 phone. I installthe SU binary? Iinstalled towelroot and then supersu. When I try to open supersu, it says the SU binary needs to be updated. I press update, it asks how do I want to install the SU binary? I can select normal or twrp, but both failed.
Any idea, what can be the problem and the solution?
Thank you!
Got 2 option, 1) try to install old version of superuser, 2)reboot to recovery, using File Manager, copy su file from /system/bin/etc/.su to /system/bin/su

I should have replied to the SuperSU thread but since I have less than 10 posts...
I was doing a fresh flash/install. The first thing to do of course is to root the phone.
Installed SuperSU 0.94, open it up, says that I need to update the binary, clicked OK, Installation Failed, tried that several times via 3G/Wifi.
Tested under Better Terminal, typed su: not found.
Then I installed Superuser 3.1.3, run SuperSU again and the binary update worked.
Tested under Better Terminal, typed su: # it worked.
Uninstalled Superuser and tested under Better Terminal
SU gone again.
The binary update failure happened before when version<0.7.3.
So why is this? Why do I need to install Superuser to get SuperSU to work?
It depends on what su binary is installed when you root your phone or what app the author of the ROM prefers. You can download the supersu zip package and install it after you install a ROM but even then you'll have to update binary via launching the app itself.

Because every app that uses Superuser permissions needs a a management app to get access to su.

Oh, by Supuruser I'm talking about Superuser - the old app, not the superuser permission.

Yep, you're right, I was just stupid not paying attention to the bat root script. I removed the old Superuser.apk from the scirpt but not the binary.
When I replaced the su with SuperSU binary, no errors anymore. Thanks.
Hi all. As flashing SuperUser via CWM doesn't give an uninstall option, would it be better to install
it from the Play Store, or is flashing better for some reason.
Thanks.
I think flashing is better because:when you root your Tab,in addition to Superuser you inject a file named "su" in the folder "bin" of your OS,but if you install Superuser you must put that file there manually...but there is a way:in the flash able zip remove the Superuser APP,and after flashing install Superuser or SuperSU according to your OS.

Thank you.
I flashed CWM, and then installed SuperUser via Play, but it didn't work. I didn't know about the "su" file.
So I uninstalled SuperUser, and flashed the file I had on hand, which is SuperSU.
Worked like a charm and everything is working.
Got an "update available" message this morning, which was for SuperSU. Updated, and all is well.
Thanks again!
Hi!
First of all, I have tried to update my Honor C3 system updates. Then I noticed that I have completely lost root access. They removed su binary. LOL.
Then I tried to root again my Honor C3 with VROOT and it is OK again. But I can't overwrite system files such as changing system DroidSans-fallback.ttf fonts and also installing framework of Xposed (Overwriting app_process). I can't even delete system files also.
I searched for firmware files for my phone and I can't seems to find it. There is root access and I even test it via Terminal Emulator app and from ADB. Calling su binary in Shell was OK but I can't access /system well. Help me.

It's probably either because you need to update the SuperUser binary (go into your SU app and it should prompt you if you do - or switch to SuperSU if you are using SuperUser) and / or you need to use a file explorer (or adb) and mount the system as RW.

There are guides on how to replace kingsroot app and binary files with chainfire supersu.
I have done the replacement successfully on a Huawei P8 with the root.sh file.
Install a terminal: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm
Install a file manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.solidexplorer2 or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer
Download this archive: http://www.mediafire.com/download/mxzbt42xypvn2ts/Replace_Kinguser_with_SuperSU-v2.4.zip
Extract the archive into: sdcard
Start a terminal and cd into sdcard.
cd into mrw
be root: su
type the command: sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
A tip is to cd manually with the terminal and then type ls to list all files in the folder. And check that you are in the right place. Even if the command lists the path.
The script file will probably not work on the first try. If it fails. Re-root the phone with kingsroot and try repeating the replacement guide four or five times and then script will work. Kingsroot is being stubborn not willing to let go of its own binary files.
There is an app also. I did not have any success with the supersu me app. When I pressed the blue button the app froze and did nothing.
You can try it. But it might not work.
