Hi guys. I've HTC desire 601 (4.4.2) with unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery installed. I can't make the root because even after I install the zip file with su binary and supersu.apk (from recovery) and I reboot the phone , the system isn't rooted yet. I tried to make the root manually, putting supersu.apk into system/app and the su binary into system/bin (and /xbin) [from recovery], but the result is the same. Supersu app appears in the home screen and it says that the binary needs to be updated, but the process fails. How can I do? Thanks
try installing a custom kernel.
you are probably on a stock kernel and that blocks writes to the /system partition.
that's the easiest way that i can think of, the other way is to force s-off.

I installed the Kofila kernel but the device still doesn't rooting. How can I do? Is a good idea to install the insertcoin ROM? I tried to download it but I haven't found the link..
after installing a custom kernel, try installing the updated binary via supersu or any other su manager. should update it.

i'm quite confused. I believe my phone is partially rooted. I installed SuperSu but it says that i do not have the Su Binary installed. under root checker it says that supersu is not installed but busybox is. I successfully installed Root Explorer and am able to view system files but not edit them.
anyways, i got a verification error when trying to flash CWM-supersu in recovery. I followed al the steps and downloaded all the required recovery.img files etc. I am tempted to flash a custom rom. but afraid if it gets locked up during the process, as there is no back up option with the stock recovery.
Any suggestions?

Update the binaries in superSU settings or reinstall root with CF-Root with Odin, see item 1 in my signature.

Yes, flash CF-Root with Odin.
Update your busybox to latest version.then update the su..it will work
Then cwm problem can be solved by using a manual cwm(new cwm from someone)...

If you can, can you link me the binaries and tell me how to flash just the binaries?

Which hboot version are you on ? 1.24 (ICS) or 1.25 (JB) ?
If you're using a JB-made recovery on the ICS hboot (or the other way around) it won't work .
To find out your hboot version just reboot into fastboot or to the bootloader and you can check it there .
For ICS hboot use this recovery .
For JB hboot use this recovery .
Both are taken from this thread & full credit goes to neXus PRIME . I just added the direct links just to make it easier .
After you flash the right recovery , just get the latest SuperSU version (1.41) and flash it .
Also , in the future when and if SuperSU updates , don't try updating the su binary from the app - neither Normal nor TWRP/CWM mode will work . Just download the latest SuperSU zip from here .
Good luck!

my HBoot is 1.25, I have installed SuperUser and it installs fine and everything, but I used a root checker and it still says I don't have root
If you've installed it from the Play Store , then it won't work like that . You have to flash the zip I mentioned above from the Hboot-friendly recovery that you need (in your case , the JB one) .
Root needs more than just the application . It needs a file called "su" inside system/xbin . That's the real deal . SuperUser / SuperSU just controls which apps are given SU rights by that file .
If you tried flashing the zip above but still no luck , try changing the rom (or reflashing the same one from scratch) . Full wipe included .
Might also want to check if busybox is installed properly.

Also try to update SU binary in the Superuser app.
Really didn't want to make a new thread about this but honestly people just jumped to conclusions without being helpful in my previous thread.
Long story short I'm trying to manually get 4.4.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2664561
I saw that I needed to get s-off, which requires root. Bootloader was already unlocked and so did everything here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273376
I installed CWM. It said to install a superuser tool so I installed SuperSU.
"You're not out of the woods yet! The stock kernel is system write protected, so you still can't modify it (changes won't "stick"). You'll have to flash a custom rom or a kernel if you want stock instead." was the next line. <-- I saw that message. Installed a kernel that he recommended: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255900
After reboot I get SuperSU error: There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root- consult the relevant forums for your device etc.
Can anyone help me get the proper SU Binary installed? Not a beginner to rooting as I've had had several previous phones before. Never encountered something as annoying as this.
On 4.3, 3.17.502.3.
I had the same issue when I installed 4.4.2 on my international One.
What I done to root was;
- downloaded SuperSU v1.80 zip from here.
- download SuperSu from the Play Store
- in SuperSU, select the option to install binaries via TWRP/CWM. (If it doesn't reboot to recovery, manually enter recovery)
- flash the supersu v1.80 zip and reboot
- open SuperSu and install the binaries using the normal option.
That then enabled my root. I'd tried quite a few different variations and this was the only method that worked for me.

Thank you! Although I just managed to installed a custom ROM and managed to get root.

I flashed the Recovery_Cingular_US in fastboot. Unfortunately I'm unable to boot into stock recovery. I've been told right after you enter recovery from bootloader you press all three buttons simultaneously?
Is there a way to get into stock recovery from fastboot? Or better yet install the ROM from fastboot?

You seem very confused about the whole rooting process ... what was the point in flashing the stock recovery ? Are you trying to install the OTAPkg.zip ?
what Rom are you wanting to install and whats flashing stock recovery have to do with it ?
Well, if you looked at the thread I linked, you'll see that it says to flash a stock recovery file in order to install the OTAPkg.zip

I wrote the thread you linked too
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2659374
and yes it is necessary to have stock recovery to take an OTA, but your post didn't mention taking OTA it said you had no SU installed.
to get into stock recovery
boot to bootloader
choose recovery
wait for black screen, hold vol up and then power
you will see something about sdcard fail .. ignore it till the menu comes up
then choose to flash OTAPkg.zip from sdcard
i have HTC Desire X. i can't install busybox, my phone reboots on installing it.
i want to ask that does this flashing the zip file helps? it wont brick my cellphone right?
i got this " Root_SuperSU.1.44-Busybox.1.21.1_in_xbin-signed" and "busybox" zip file from some XDA thread, i have attached it
do i have to install busybox in my phone before going to recovery and flash the zip file?? or without installing busybox on my phone i should go to recovery and flash this zip file? they haven't mentioned anything about it in that XDA thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51688913#post51688913)
i have attached two zip files for BusyBox, please someone check it.
i m not able to install Xposed on my HTC Desire X. after reboot app_process disappears (shown in the picture attached).
there are three modes of installation in Xposed
1. Classic (write to /system directly)
2. manually zip flash by recovery
3. automatically zip flash by recovery
what does 2 and 3 do? and how does 2 and 3 work?
i have installed xposed version 2.1.4 via flashing zip file in twrp i got from this some website (i m not allowed to post the outside link for some reason), i have attached the zip file i got from that website.
Now i want to update it to latest version but after installing lastest version (2.5 or 2.4.1), app_process doesnt get install (app_process number shows 34 in red)
is there a solution to this problem?
is there a way to get Xposed zip for latest version?
Please Help. i m noob.

Hard bricking can happen with installing busybox too, same chance as installing kernel. You can also install busybox from recovery, you only need to find a flashable zip

Not sure if you have it sorted but just thought I would mention what works 100% for me. Just picked up a leo dg280 while waiting for a replacement screen for my main phone.
Anyway use kingroot to root, then google for the mrw script and follow those instructions to replace kingroot with SuperSU. So far has worked everytime for me ( have reflashed lillipop numerous times for different reasons)

Ι had made a custom cwm based on kitkat rom i think. It doesn't work properly in lollipop rom, it cannot read internal or external file storage partition although i was sure i had configured correctly the files, you can install a package only via adb sideload. Also it is bigger than the stock recovery and i ' m not sure if that occures any problem.
I m not sure now which file it is, if i make one for lollipop rom i ll upload it
