Need to change Superuser app (and ROM request) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so I rooted my QMobile QTab V6 (Pakistani Company but chinese software) with Kingo Root (kingoapp.com) AND NOT KINGROOT I REPEAT NOT KING ROOT and now I have a SuperUser app by Kingo Root (Not the other one) ehich sucks a lot. I really want to change the default superuser app to SuperSU by Chainfire but I don't know how. I tried to install a .zip file called 'UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93' with the custom CWM recovery I had to install painstakingly with MTKDroidTools and that didn't work and now I've got into an even bigger problem and I can't use either Superuser applications. I'm a noob at this stuff so I need some basic help please. Oh and if possible, can anyone suggest me a ROM for my tablet with the chipset MT6582 with lollipop/marshmallow and how to flash it? I'll be really happy (But it should have tablet functions)
EDIT: So I fixed the problem of not being able to use a SuperUser app and now I have deleted SuperSU and have Superuser but I still need to change

it is rooted.... i can clean dalvic through cwm recovery but cant gain root permissions I think that part of the stock root manager or something like that is left on the system that denies root permission to other apps but don't know what to do, I have million settings and phone numbers and apps and other stuff that I don't want to lose but titanium backup is not working either..... If I wanted I could have flashed the same rom (it's still on the sd) and I think that would fix it but I don't want another flash if possible

Rooted FTF?

Have noticed several custom rom but no single solution on how to acheive or even install custom ROMs. I tried VRoot which gave me root but left that method after realizing that i couldnt replace su with supersupro. I also got a vague hint that I was sandboxed. I might be paranoid but as.several other users has reported similar issue i decided to factory reset and also restore from backed up data in the PC suit. Please advice about how to be able to flash custom roms or more desired obtain root on stock ROM. Cause I will want to try out the official Kit Kat when it rolls out. Peace!!

You can replace the superuser app from vRoot.
- Download SuperSU and open it. Update binaries.
- Use a file explorer and go to /system/app
- Find "superuser.apk" and delete it (Superuser will ask for root. Press yes)
- Your file explorer might argue that it can't delete it (since you're trying to delete the app that gave you the permission in the first place. I guess he's not happy about that, but screw him, he's gone)
- Open SuperSU again and see if all is well (update binary if it asks for it again)
- Reboot and you're done
This is what i've done every time i've rooted and it always work
Tried that

I tried that method actually before you sent me the instructions. I works fine but or some strange reason I get a lots of chinese characters wile allowing apps root... This vroot seems very keen on holdiong on to the root that it had. ) I need a script or something Iḿ getting tired about al this.
:cyclops:
If there's still a chinese prompt that pops up when asking for root, it means that you haven't removed it. SuperSU is the app that should ask you for root access

Look man, superuser is ROOT. Either your phone is rooted or it is not. A rooted phone can run apps that require it like ClockworkMod ROM Manager, Titanium Backup, Greenify, Wireless Tether for Root Users, File managers like Root Explorer or ES File Manager if you want to be able to access the system areas of the phone. So far as I know, there is no "SuperUser of ClockworkMod". If your phone is rooted (You will see superuser or "Super SU" in your app drawer. Here is a free app from the playstore that will tell you if your phone is rooted or not.
Root Checker
Install it and use it to see if your phone is still rooted or if you lost root somehow. If you still have root, then when CWM starts, it will ask for root privileges and the first time it asks, you will be prompted to grant it, once, for a certain time period, or forever. For stuff like CWM, root file managers, and Titanium Backup, you always grant root forever and you will not be asked again until the app updates and requires you to okay granting root privileged or not, then you grand forever and leave it alone.
If you find out you do not have root or lost your root, then you have to root the phone and the procedure is different for different devices, versions, and ROMS. For that kind of help, you have to search for rooting <your particular device and android version number>

[Q] How should I go about rooting my Prestigio 5450 DUO?

I have searched the web for rooting this kind of phone, and I have not found anything. All I know is that it's possible, since this guy did it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2641478
I presume it's the same as for the older versions, but I want to make sure.
OS version: 4.2.2
Kernel Version:3.4.5
Thank you.
According to this: http://www.srsroot.com/\supported your device is supported.
And how does this work?
This does not work, I tried it, and it said the rooting was complete. After I tried to install some root apps, they did not work. So I tried it again, but it says that I do have root access.
Hmm. Which superuser app did it install? It's not uncommon to need to either update the superuser app and / or update the SU binary (should prompt through the app if needed). Go to the Play Store and see if there is an update to the app, then open it and see if it prompts you to update the binary as well. If you don't have the Play Store on your device, just let me know which version of the SU app was installed and I'll see if there's is an update available. I don't get the chance to mess with many off brand products like this, so do not have direct experience, just tons of android experience in general.
Found some more info from a random Russian site (via Google Translator) http://translate.google.com/transla...rch?q=prestigio+duo+5450+CWM&espv=2&es_sm=122
Might try and install CWM recovery and flashing Chainfire's SuperSU zip if all else fails.
I used SRSroot if that is what you are asking.
If you are asking about what app I downloaded to test it, I used titanium, which told me that it could not access the root. I just downloaded it.

No, was referring to which Superuser app was installed during the root process. Typically this should be either Koush's SuperUser or Chainfire's SuperSU. And test with another app as Titanium can be a little weird with root access on some devices as well as needing Busybox to run properly and not all root methods also set up Busybox. Try any of these: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=rootchecker

Hello,
I have Prestigio Multiphone PAP4300 DUO, I tried all rooting crap and it didnt work. BUT one did worked. It is used on PC. You connect your phone to pc and then run the program, and choose which method you want to use(depends on phone). After some tries it worked. I dont remember what was the software called, but if I find it, I will surely edit my post.
There was no program installed during the rooting process.

Then VERY unlikely it worked. You can doublecheck and install this and see what it says: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu . It'll most likely say you are missing the SU binary and fail to install it for you without proper root. Other options include CWM recovery and a custom prerooted rom.
Rooting
If you still nid a root for PAP5450Duo I have this phone and this root app worked: download Framaroot 1.9.3 (use the Boromir exploit).

Cant uninstall main root app, stops on startup

Hi, I have a samsung galaxy duos, android 4.0.4. pretty old, i know.
anyway a few months ago i found a way to finally root my phone(i couldnt find a good root app that worked) i used kingo root which automatically roots my phone using my pc, after a few months of having my phone rooted, the main root app stopped working and would crash every time an app would request root permission or when i tried to open the app itself.
now the deal is, i cant use my root, i cant uninstall the root, i cant replace the root app, any solution to this?
Well in such case you have to manually remove it by flashing a custom recovery and deleting all the files created by kingroot such as base apk. And the su library planted by it.
All the best:good:
