Cant Root My Phone - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

] PLEASE HELP!!Su binary not installed and SuperSu cannot install it.
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?
you will stuck at the boot image cause u need to unlock boot loader, for the root, you need to aware that the ICS 4.0.1.a.0.283 easier to root but 4.0.1.b.0.112 and above most root software cant do the root, u better install those rom to root, and after you root, just install x-part and u will install the CWM easily through the apps, hope is help for you

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?

unlocked bootloader, kingroot says it's rooted, no root apps works

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.

z3V root and flash problem

So, here I'm stuck with the z3v after my 6plus sold to my uncle. Running E.44 and the root method seem not working, I already install the king root and can't replace with the superSu, keep saying "fail to update, reboot"... and trying to degrade firmware and the flash tool keep said "can't reconize device, check the driver....." Saw topic with instruction to kkng root temperary and "dual recovery" what's the dual recovery is it?
Is it possible that verizon will open bootloader for z3v??
install kingoroot and then recovery and then install prerooted firmware through recovery
no need to unlock boot loader... it's direct method

Follow my guide as worded. You've done the first step in rooting it with Kingroot. Now you need to use the dual recovery installer to install the custom Android recovery, TWRP. Then you flash my prerooted Lollipop.

Information on how to root android FLUO N

Hi, thank you in advance for everything
I have bought one year ago a so&so phone (65$ on AE) : a FLUO N device.
It isn't a good phone, but it the least but not last i could choose at that time.
Well, all i want to do is to root it with supersu or with other tool. I can't find any recovery tool compatible for the device so in my lack of knowledge i haven't find any method to root this android 8.1 phone. KingRoot doesn't work, KingoRoot idem. Neither framaroot or other. I want to try magisk but it seems that it's a root tool but i can use it only if phone is already rooted. It seems that i can root it with a recovery tool, but it seems that i can't install a recovery tool if my phone isn't already rooted (and i can't find any recovery tool compatible with this little $hit )
I really hope that i'm wrong and so i'm here asking.
So i'm here asking if there's a method to root it simply by adb pushing a file in it. In Developer options it has "Unblock OEM -- It allows to unblock bootloader" enabled.
There's something i can do?
Thanky you so much in advance again.
Dav
@zatecaz
To root a device's Android neither Magisk nor any Custom Recovery ( TWRP et. al ) is needed. SuperSU should do the job.
If i dowload and install supersu apk when i open it this is what it says "Root undetected -- How To Root". If i click "how to root" it redirects me to supersu.com/faq/howtoroot that fails to load.
Now, i download either supersu apk that flashable zip. Is there a method to flash supersu.zip without a TWRP/CWM?
TWRP: doesn't exist a package for this phone. Does exist a generic twrp image for every android 8.1 ?
CWM: i could install it from Rom Manager but to do so the phone need to be already rooted. Or where can i find a cwm.img to be installed by adb and fastboot?
So without custom recovery, could i use my phone recovery and adb sideload to push supersu.zip ?
Thank you again
