[Q] ROOT... kind of?

rcvd an orange branded DHD yesterday but was able to run Visionary 14 and run temproot then permroot as device wasn't upgraded.
Applied jkoljo easy one click radio off, sim unlock and super cid thing with all looking good with radio s-off confirmed. Also from terminal emulator I have #su access.
Via clockwork Mod installed a modaco custom rom - all looking good.
My problem now is that titanium backup says it could not acquire root privileges?
I have tried downloading a clean busybox but it fails on the verify stage. Sometimes I get error: application superuser (process com.noshufou.android.su) has stopped unexpectedley.
I've also tried clearing data for both TB and SU from settings > apps > manage apps... no good.
Any ideas?

if you flash your backup (you did make one right?) I assume root and SU are still intact, if so possibly a bad flash of modaco, try reflashing or flashing a different ROM and report back

I did make a backup but hadn't tried re-flashing. I'm giving it a go now.
OK so dropped into clockword mod recovery, cleaned dalvik, wiped fatory reset and cache then re-flashed modaco rom.
All installs fine however still have the force close when trying to run titanium backup and get the error can't get root privilege.
SU reports it is up to date but trying to run su in terminal emulator gives the com.noshufou.android.su stopped message.
Apart from not being able to restore/backup using TB at least I can still install ROM.

The root problem is in the rom you are using, try for example Android Revolution 2.0.3. Some 1.72 based roms have problems with superuser.

try re-installing updating Superuser via the market see if that helps as it does sound like an issue with Superuser itself

which MCR are you using? is it a pre-baked or cooked one?

A baked one on the r2.

appears to be a known issue with MCR r2 a possible work around is after a FC run superuser yourself and then the app might run normally if you try launching it again.
Edit: on further investigation, there is a patched SU available over on the G2 Forums apparently it's and issue on all 1.72.x.x Sense ROMs, wouldn't know personally as I don't use Sense

Question..............did you flash the root.zip file?
if not theres your problem, thats what gives you root access. if you have then you got an error in the rom if you flashed another over your original....hope your making nandroid backups lol

Solved
Hi,
Thanks everybody for your replys. I could fix the problem by upgrading my SuperUser app.
In su app, i was getting a notification that su binary is out of date and when i used to hit the option to update the su binary from SU app settings, it used to fail.
The thing I did was to install SU again from Market and it worked.
Though i am not sure what exactly the problem was.

[Q] Left partially rooted after OTA update - any help?

Hi all, hope anyone can help.
My phone was all rooted no problem after unlocking my bootloader etc.
I did the latest OTA update and it went through all fine. I saw I still had superuser on my razr i so didn't think much of it.
I came to use a particular app the other day and realised it wasn't working.
I rebooted my phone and noticed for the first time that the unlocked that appears under the motorola sign (when I unlocked the bootloader it started displaying) was now missing.
I tried to update the binary settings on the superuser and it kept on failing. Then I downloaded root checker and it said my phone was incorrectly rooted.
So couple of questions if I may:
1 - how do I go about properly rooting my phone again....has my bootloader re-locked?
2 - how do I scrap the whole thing and go back to stock i.e removing superuser completely.
Thank you all and Merry Xmas!

Hi,
everything you described is normal after an OTA update. The unlocked image at startup is replaced by the standard one but your bootloader stays unlocked. Root access gets lost after the update but you simply have to re-root it as you did the first time. (root exploit or root zip for cwm)
look here:

Nice one thanks for your help. If I want to un-root my phone - can you or anyone advise on how best to do it from where my phone stands now?

hey
1. go to settings/apps/ and search the app superuser and deinstall updates (only if you had some,if not skip this)
2. use rootexplorer or another with same functions, go to System/Apps and delete the Superuser.apk
3. go to playstore and install the Superuser app(yes its right)
4.rootexplorer again, go to System/bin and delete SU
5. go to playstore and deinstall Superuser.. done

Cheers but I won't be able to do this I think as superuser is a system file that I cannot remove without being fully rooted first so therefore I guess I will have to re-root it to unroot it lol.

[ROOT] SGP312 FTF 10.3.1.C.0.136 Root (No need OTA)

Hi
I have tested the root tool from China forum. My device is SGP312 WIFI 32GB 10.3.1.C.0.136. No need to unlocked.
Download the attachment and install. One click and then it will reboot. It is rooted!
But the root-mangement software is Chinese. You can download Supersu or Superuser.
Use the Chinese root software to give Supersu or Superuser root access.
Run Supersu or Superuser and upgrade the binary. Exit and uninstall the Chinese root software.
Reboot. Then you are rooted with Supersu or Superuser.
This is the original link: http://www.mgyun.com/vroot

incredible...works on sgp321 .244......good job....juat install supersu afterwards and remove the chinese app....greatttttt

Good! I can confirm it works, just rooted my still locked SGP311FR with it.
What I don't like it's an exe file, install the app then run it to root.
If someone can extract the script and replace the root apk by superSU it would be cool.
Also I noticed while rooting my tablet that the screen became white two times (really fast for less than a second, sort of blink) like the Display tricks that were used before to root our xperia's.
Anyway thanks.
Btw : @insideccw posting a link to the source, and maybe the name of the autor of this tool, would be better if it's not your own tool.

That might be the exploit that is accessing the framebuffer causing it.

works like a charm on my sgp351 lte 16gb .244, recomended, thans for the post

Also working with Xperia sp

I tried this with my 312, but upon removing the chinese superuser with Titanium-backup, i could no longer use Superuser or SuperSU from the play-store. Any insight on to what exactly you guys went about this? I have reset using PC Companion.

Word fine With 4.2.2 thx a lot

I think you need to install the alternative superuser app before deleting the Chinese one. I used superuser by chainsdd on my sp

works great...thanks

That's pretty much what I did. I've tried SuperSU, superuser, and the cwm app. The problem seems to be that the updated binaries don't "stick", SuperSU claimed updating was a success but then prompted me to do so every time I opened it.

I don't know if the info in this thread may be of any use : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1539711.
Specifically in the OP :
Remember, if you remove older first without installing newer one, you will lose Root n newer won't run.
One more thing market version will be regular application, so hard reset can delete it. So better install with flashable zip, to make it system application.
And in Post #8 :
Confirmed working fine! Recommended to install via CWM. It will replace the other (superuser) automatically so you don't have to manually remove it.
I used the above zip file and instructions a long time ago on my Galaxy S....but it may still be relevant for Tablet Z.

What I've been doing us installing from the play store, updating binaries, and then removing the Chinese app. Once I do that, I lose root in the market superSU and other root apps.
I'll probably end up unlocking the boot loader and flashing an image over adb.
Thanks for the help!

That is because you dont have /system r/w access.

It worked for me...I accidentally removed the Chinese app.
1. I did a reroot again.
2. installed dualrecovery and flashed the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip.
3. It works now.

Supersu and cwm superuser caused my phone to go in a reboot loop when I tried updating the binaries. Superuser by ChainsDD is working fine though.

insideccw,
Any tips on how t go about correcting this? Would I need to use adb or can I handle this form within android?
EDIT: Looks like others are having the same issue.

Doesn't work with SGP321 LTE tablet (on the newest firmware .244)
1. in order to uninstall the chinese root app one needs to have SuperSu
2. once you install SuperSU the root checker shows "OK, you're rooted"
3. once you get rid of the chinese root the root checker shows "you're NOT rooted" and the SuperSU binaries can't get updated (strange it needs another update)

Works on mine. Update the superuser binaries before deleting Chinese superuser app. On mine, supersu detected the Chinese one and deleted it for me

For those of you having this issue as I was, I just got mine to work with SuperSU. Hopefully these steps will work for you too:
-Gain root with the magical Chinese root tool
-install SuperSU
-update SuperSU binaries
-in SuperSU settings, choose "Switch superuser app"
-reboot the tablet and immediately go to the playstore and install SuperSU
-update SuperSU binaries
Let me know if it works!

Super-Sume Pro wont work after reboot

Hello, I have a dragon touch X10 from tablet express running 5.1.1 . This morning i used the windows version of KingoRoot to root my device and all went fine it is now rooted. I had already purchased Super-Sume Pro so I just went back and re-installed it and it worked fine until it finished doing its job and said i needed to reboot and did i want to wait or reboot now. I chose reboot now and when my device powered back up my Super-Sume Pro app now says i didnt root with kingroot/kingoot and to root my device using one of the two. I have tried it twice now with the same results each time(once via APK and once via .exe). I also am starting with all this after doing a factory wipe so it is a clean slate. All i did was turn on the device go thru the initial start up and download the APK via the factory browser. Any help would be appreciated and i believe i included all info needed, if not just say the word and i will add the info. Thank you. Also the Super-Sume version is 9.8.3

Have you tried just downloading SuperSU, granting it root permission with kingroot, then having it update the binary?
Sent from my KYOCERA-C6745 using Tapatalk

Yes i tried SuperSu first and it told me to get Super-Sume as one of the methods of updating the binary. I believe i have found the answer on the app developers web site. I am about to read it and find out for sure.

Nice app but after rebooting KingRoot comes back

I'll have to find it, but there is also a script you can run in terminal to do the same thing. I have a hydro icon, the app wouldn't work, but the script did. You need to update to the newest version of kingroot, then unroot and reroot. (You have to have the newer su binary for it to work.) As soon as I find it I'll post a link.
