I have used the naked drivers to unlock the bootloader, and then used the newest king root apk to root it, but it says it's already rooted, so i downloaded supersu and foldermount, but supersu says there ain't no su binary installed, and foldermount is stuck on refreshing "checking for root" constantly.
Have i done something wrong here?
Yes, 1. NEVER root with king root 2. Post your questions in the correct forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
Flash a custom recovery and then flash the latest SuperSU update.zip.

Hi,
I have already rooted and can get into ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.3.4.
When I try to install Superuser, I get an message saying "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
I went to the market and downloaded Root Checker. It came up with a message that says "This device does not have proper root access."
How is it that I can get into ClockwrokMod Recovery if Root Checker says I'm not rooted?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

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?
I did a factory reset from recovery on my EVO because it wouldn't boot. Now, I seemed to have lost root access. I can still boot into custom recovery and am S-Off.
I downloaded SuperSU from the play store, and get the message (There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem) when I try to open it.
What do I need to do to regain root access?
Thanks for the help.
Play store won't help you. You need to flash supersu zip from recovery.
Google "update supersu 1.94 zip".

Thanks, then do I need to download it from the Play Store? I flashed it successfully, booted up and the one that was in my app list (from the Play Store) is now gone. Rooter Checker still shows I don't have root access.
Yes you need to reinstall the app.

Flashing that zip should have worked. I question if you were using the right zip file. Do you see it in your apps on your phone?
Here's the URL I use:
http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU
Sometimes if you run root checker too soon after booting into the ROM, it will time out while waiting for permission from SuperSU and falsely conclude that you do not have root. If you're busy doing other stuff afterwards, you very well may have missed the popup where root checker asked for root permissions. If that's the case, when you go into SuperSU you should see root checker listed with red text, which would indicate that root checker was denied root permissions. If this is what you see, select that entry from SuperSU and change the setting from deny to grant. Rerun root checker.
If that doesn't work, please provide more information about your system?
HBoot
Recovery version
ROM
HTC Dev unlocked?
S-off method?
if you run or install TWRP custom recovery it will flash supersu for you when you run it.
I rooted Celkon Ultra Millennium Q 500, but did not install CWM recovery. For some reason, I unrooted. Then I tried re-rooting. This time root checker says phone not rooted, a second root checker says I do have ADB root available. Why? I uninstalles SuperSu and busybox, re-installed both these. Now subinary updating fails repeatedly. How can I overcome the problem and root my mobile successfully?
Hi I have a A520L Alcatel Pop Star Nova Lte. I had try many root method like Kingo Root, King Root, Towelroot, Framaroot and Wondershare MobileGo, all those cant root my phone successfully. Some are them success rooted but after 4 to 5 minutes I check "root checker" it says I dont have root access. Sometime on other way I go to stock recovery mode, it doesnt have "apply to sd card or external" which is sucks that I cant go there to zip any files or su binary update in order to root. It only have wipe data and wipe cache. I cant download CWM or any kind of app to flash it because I dont have root permission yet. Can anybody help to root my phone? Im running 4.4.4 kitkat.

you shouldn't need root to flash a custom recovery via adb in your phones bootloader.
I don't know what firmware you are on or much about your phone, but if you are on android 5.0+ you may want to find a kernel dev who can take your stock boot.img and make it permissive and implement the su binaries into the kernel. then you could flash a custom recovery then flash an updater script with the new kernel and su.apk
sorry I'm not a kernel dev or I would help you to do it.
I dont know whats firmware is but I know its running 4.4.4 kitkat.
