I had an issue with storage on my S5 and unintentionally uninstalled SuperSU and lost root.
My phone still shows Knox as being modified and device is labeled custom. I can go into twrp recovery, but superSU won't open, says I am not rooted.
Is there a way to get root without having to use Odin and a PC? Or do I have to start fresh again? I'm on stock 6.0.1
I'm sure I have to re root but, I'm hoping someone might have an idea since the only reason the root is gone is Super SU file got deleted.
Thanks in advance

In case anyone was curious about my post and if I found an answer. I was able to get my phone rooted again without a PC or having to do anything special.
Since my phone had been rooted already and TWRP is installed already, I just needed to download the latest version of superSU zip, go into recovery using TWRP install the superSU zip file and the phone rebooted. Once the phone was up I opened superSU app and it said all was well.
I then downloaded jrummy Root Check and verified root. Installed jrummy's Busy Box and my already paid for version of superSU pro.
Next will be Titanium backup and the pro version.
So, it was so easy, getting root back. I knew there had to be an easy way because all I did was accidentally delete the superSU files and that was it.
I hope this helps someone who has the same problem I had.

Hello, I just upgraded to the new droid DNA on 1-13-2013. I got the bootloader unlocked and flashed the recovery without problems but, when I flashed the superuser files using recovery it fails and says md5 file or something like that was not found but with the failure to install, it still put the superuser, su and busybox files in the correct sytem folders. I booted my device and open supersu and it said I need to update the su file but that update failed too. I also did a full stock restore to see how it goes for me beause I hear people say once you do that you can't
re-unlock the bootloader but, I got the bootloader re-unlocked witout problems. I wanted to add that because people was asking if any body else was having problems re-unlocking. What I want to know is how can I get root? I still have my bootloader unlocked. Can I install a pre rooted stock rom using custom recovery or will that fail too since I cant get the supersu installed successfully?

Go check out the ROMs in the Android Development Section. Most, if not all, of the ROMs have the superuser and BusyBox built in. Try UKB.
Cheers!
Thanks, I did that but when I went to install it the install started but it didn't go through. The install started for about 1 second and it just just booted me. I had to rerun the full RUU.exe i found in the xda forum to reinstall. The only thing I want to do is just root to be able to delete bloat. I hope somebody comes out with a way to root without having to unlock boot loaders.

I used odin to root and went two weeks with just a stock rooted phone. i downloaded team venum jellybean and used CWM to install. at the end of the installation when i went back to reboot i got a "may have lost root" would you like to fix, after doing this and the rom loaded i had lost all root permissions...Anybody know where this noob went wrong? You can be brutal in your repsonse my fellow internet travels, any help would be thankful.
Did you double check if you still have root access? You can check by installing root checker from the play store. If you do still have root access make sure you still have super su installed. If not install that from the play store as well. Worst case scenario of you don't have root access. Just root again.

Did you install a recovery via odin? If not you can't install twrp through goo manager if you haven't installed a recovery yet.

id like to update to 4.3, but as far as I know, only a few people have had success keeping root, without having to re root. Is it at all possible, such as if I used superSU pro survival mode, or something else? I don't have access to a computer to re root, and want know if anyone has had success with keeping root. I don't wanna risk doing something stupid and bricking the phone lol. Thanks.

You will lose ROOT when updating a OTA update but i will explain a way to keep it.
1. Open the Google Play Store (or Android Market) and search for ‘Superuser’ (link to Superuser here). Be sure you have the latest version installed. Update or install if necessary.
2.Open Superuser (not SuperSU if you also have that installed). Click on info in the top left corner. Swiping to the right will also go to the info tab. If on a tablet click the “i” icon on the top of the screen on the right.
3.Verify that you have ‘superuser v3.1′ or higher installed.
4. Click on ‘su binary’ (not the ‘outdated binary notification’ checkbox).
5. Click on ‘Update’. Click ‘Grant’ and ‘Allow’ on boxes that pop up. Keep clicking on ‘Update’ and ‘That was cool, do it again’ until the update process runs through without any errors. Turning your device off and back on may resolve any issues you hit.
6.Press the back button to get back to the info screen. Check the ‘ota survival’ box.
7. Install the OTA update for your device. When the update is complete open the Superuser app again. If it is no longer installed reinstall it from the Google Play Store. Go to the info tab once again. If you do not see ‘su binary not found’ then you are finished! If you do see ‘su binary not found’ move on to the next step.
8.Uncheck ‘ota survival’ to restore root access. ‘su binary’ should now show a version number. If successful, recheck the ‘ota survival’ box as a precaution to future updates.
9.Done!
I'll try it, I'd like to know first though if this can brick your phone? I know there's always a risk, but I'd like to know HOW much of a risk.

Ok so no matter what I do, everything is fine when I update the binaries, but then when it says "making sure su binaries work", it fails everytime. Whether I reboot, or just keep hitting update. I'm using superuser by chainsDD, I'm not sure if this is the correct app you mentioned. What do I do from here?

Yeah the SU from chansDD is the good one.
Make sure your using the latest version of the Superuser app, another option would be to try using SuperSU since it also has OTA survival. Also is root access functioning normally for you?
I used superSU pro and did survival mode before, my issue with that is I would have root access just fine, but then when I would make a NAndroid backup, suddenly root would be gone.
Superuser by chainsDD works, but no matter hown many times I update the SU binaries, when it gets to the last step that says making sure binaries work, it says fail every time. I don't know how to get around that.

OTA update fails
Hi, I have SuperSu installed, and when I try to do OTA update on my Galaxy S4 4.2.2 (MF3), the installation fails at 25% mark. I tried disabling and hiding Superuser in the SuperSU settings, but it didn't help.
What should I do?
It might just be the ROM itself that won't install. Try a different 4.3 ROM, and see if the same thing happens.

Hello!
My phone (Cherry Mobile Bubble Android 2.3.5) was rooted before through Mobogenie's One Click Root. I don't have any problem my apps gaining root access. But i can't do software update, so i thought that's because of being rooted. So I did permanent root at SuperSU settings, and I have successfully updated my phone. But when I rooted my phone again, I can't gain root access through SuperSu. It always shows "Installation failed". I do have an update zip file on my sd cards root. But to no avail.
Please help. I'm noob regarding on this.
You cant just install SuperSU and expect it to work. You need to use your 1 click tool again. Or another full rooting method.
When you unrooted the binaries that was root were deleted.

In addition, I already did uninstalling and re-installing superSU. And I have also tried to use Superuser or any other superuser app, but nothing happens. I already did a factory reset, but still no change.

Thanks for the reply
I already did that. I've rooted it again through one click root, and it says i am rooted. But SuperSu says, installation failed. While superuser says, it can't gain root access.
I have lost root access before when I updated SuperSu, I can't remember what i did then. But i was able to get back root access.
If you have a custom recovery superSU has the option to flash the correct one manually.

No, i don't have any custom recovery
Is there other way for me to flash the correct one?
Try Vroot, its another one click root method. I used it on my Note 3 and installed superSU afterwards. One downside is it's chinese, so its hard to read lol.

I've been using this LG G3 for a few weeks without any issue. Bought it used and have been happy with it. Getting down to business tinkering I downloaded Stump Root and SuperSu. When I fired up Stump Root grind was already greyed out and it said my device is rooted. If it's rooted why am I getting this screen from SuperSu. My G3 is at 4.4.2. Trying to research before posting is there no root currently for 4.4.2? I'm confused why it says I'm rooted if I'm having this issue with SuperSu.

This happened to me yesterday after I had flashed a rom and I was stuck for hours till I had the brilliant idea of flashing super su again and it fixed just download and flash in recovery and when it reboots you have to download supersu from the play store and the first time you open it, it will ask if you want to update binary normal or using recovery I clicked normal and fixed. Hope it helps

Did you flash the superuser zip I linked?
Sent from my LGLS990 using XDA Free mobile app
Are You On stock zv6? If your On stock zv6, you have to use flashtool to go to zv4 so You can use stump. There is no root for zv6 from stock, unless that has changed.
Sent from my LGLS990 using XDA Free mobile app
Have you checked to see if twrp recovery is on your phone? If it is flash the SuperSU zip linked a posts before mine. If not check and see if your on ZV6 or ZV4. If your on ZV6 you need to flash tool back to ZV4. If your on ZV4 and it doesn't let you root it's because your phone was already rooted then the person you bought it from unrooted it so you will still have to revert back to ZV4 then use stumproot.
Once your phone has been rooted one time by stump root and then unrooted (probably what happened in your case since you bought it used) you will have to revert back ZV4 using the flashtool and return to stock. Then you can use stumproot and then use bump to put a recovery on your phone. Your phone has to be completely stock in order to use to use stumproot.
Thanks guys. It's because the phone has been updated ZV6. I will look into using the flashtool to get back to ZV4.
