SuperSU on Android 4.3 - Nexus 7 General

Since last Android 4.3 version, it's not possible anymore to update SuperSU directly from the application. We need to do it through CWM or TWRP.
But it does not change the fact that Chainfire does a great job with that app!

I believe you can update the application, but not the su binaries. I'm sure he'll get the kinks ironed out. SuperSU is still a little hacky on 4.3 right now.

I flashed SuperSu 1.43 in twrp recovery to regain root after the 4.3 OTA and didn't have any problems updating the binaries. Yesterday, I updated through Play to v1.51 and got the binaries without any problems.

Try this thread...

I installed supersu from recovery only the first time, then I had no problem to update it normally!

For those having problems updating SuperSU (binaries)

SuperSU from the Play store wanted to update binaries.
I could not get Normal or TWRP/CWM installation method to work (I'm on Safestrap). So here are the steps to make it work:
Go to: http://download.chainfire.eu/450/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip (THIS IS CHAINFIRE'S SITE)
Reboot into Safestrap Recovery
Install the .zip file you downloaded from Chainfire's site.
Reboot.
Open SuperSU....and VOILA it wont ask to update binaries.
I hope this helped anyone having issues updating SuperSU on their newly rooted ATT Note 3 with 4.4
Note I take NO CREDIT for this. I just want to share with the community what I figured out.
The new superuser 2.00 updated and installed for me just fine the normal way. Sorry you had trouble, but nice write up for the troublesome ones!

Root stock Lollipop 5.0.2 with Kingroot & Super-Sume .......no tripping Knox

SM-T700 UK version stock 5.0.2
1. Root using Kingroot 4.5
2. ONLY now !!! install and run Super-Sume
3. Update SuperSu binaries
That's all : you have root, SuperSu and Knox still "O" and Kingroot it's gone...
Would people please post the full build version of the firmware they have success or failure with, so others are aware of which ones work.
has this method been verified by other users?
Share your experience please!
It's brand new...
Verified by myself
Have you maintained root after reboot?
ashyx said:
Already tried it, v4.5 is posted in my kingroot thread, didn't work on lollipop for t805.
Neither did supersu me, binary always fails to update, once it did manage after several tries, but root is lost after reboot.
Supersu me is just the same script as posted in the kingroot thread. Root always lost after reboot.

Just following your thread, messing with Kingroot 4.5 (from your tread) I obtained root.
Also someone there suggesting SuperSume to remove Kingroot.
I use it and that's it
Yes the root it's permanent

Can you then install SuperSu or do you need to keep the SuperSume?
Anyone else confirm this method ?

Super_Sume make all this "work" with one click !
Ok guys, thanks for confirming, Sweet
Thanks for the tip. This worked perfectly. I installed Kingroot 4.5. When Kingroot runs scroll down and press "Try it" and it rooted. I then immediately installed Busybox from the Google Play store and ran the smart installer. After a successful install of Busybox, I then installed Super-Sume from the Play store. I ran Super-Sume and it installed Super SU and removed Kingroot. After that, I opened Super SU and allowed it to update the binary. Rebooted. I checked root with Root Checker app and checked Knox with an app called Knox Status on the Play store. Root is still active and Knox is still at "0". I powered off, then restarted again. Root has stayed.
I did this on a brand new US region SM-T700 pulled straight from the box and updated to Lolilipop from OTA.
System Version:
SM-T700
LRX22G.T700XXU1BOE3
*ROOT WORKING !! SMT-700 OTA 'lollipop'
Confirmed working on Lollipop NEE-T805XXU1BOE3 firmware.
Reflashed back to complete stock then ran Kingroot v4.5, root succeeded first time.
Ran Supersu me to remove Kingroot and install Supersu then updated the su binary.
Rebooted then checked root status. Full root access still available.
No need to install busybox as Supersu me already installs busy box.
Looks like we have a winner, no need to downgrade to Kitkat any more. :good:
Hopefully now T807/707 users can now get root.
Credits go to the devs of Kingroot, Chainfire and Supersu me.

It does not appear to work on T707a with 5.0.2.
Maybe ashyx could help.
What exactly didn't work for you ?

Do you think this is likely to work for KitKat ANL1? I already downgraded as part of Ashyx's tutorial to ANF7.
My only reservation to going to Lollipop is that I want to use the Xposed framework which I think is still in it's infancy for 5.x or still not compatible.
So before this my options are to keep the original Kitkat by Flashfire - ANL1 or go directly to Lollipop. For the latter I could just get the OTA and do this method now. But not sure if I go to ANL1 kingroot will work as easily
If not I'll continue in the normal way I guess.
Once you have root with Kingroot install Super Sume and run it.
Kingroot 4.5 from ashyxs tread works for me.
Super-Sume just install busybox, SuperSu and get rid of Kingroot.
Why not use Flashfire to install whatever you want: KK or L ?

SuperSu 2.46 on Nexus 4 5.1.1

I recently upgraded my Nexus 4 to 5.1.1
Thus I wanted to re-add SuperSu. Problem is that after flashing I can't click any buttons in the SuperSu popup.
I can just allow any root request and they work but I the apps that request do not get added anymore.
So I tried to uninstall it and flash another root app.
I got one that showed the installed su binaries and it told me, even after uninstalling it, I still have SuperSu 2.45.
Whats even stranger: I flashed SuperSu 2.46? Why does it say 2.45.
It seems the binaries do not get replaced.
How do I purge the binaries for a fresh start, maybe with other binaries?

Metro PCS LG L70 (LGMS323) can't update binaries

I rooted my phone using KingRoot. but when I try SuperSu Me it takes KingRoot away however despite using the updated google play store SuperSU from chainfire it can't update the binaries at all. One time it said there wasn't any installed and couldn't install any. I haven't unlocked my boot loader or recovery because I don't have a computer. Any help?
Edit: I'm running stock 4.4.2 using the latest Google play store version.
I have tried to use both update methods, despite not having a custom recovery. When using the normal method I just get installation failed and an okay an a reboot option. Ive tried rebooting but it doesn't help. I can't seem to use supersu me to transfer root control to super su. I also DO have Xposed installed but Im not sure if that's the cause. I do regularly use it. I may try to uninstall and I'll post an update on that.

Difficulty Rooting Newest RUU

Hello everyone,
I'm having an issue - I wasn't able to flash the newest extracted firmware in the development section so I went ahead and just ran the full RUU. I've been running custom roms for years and I decided that maybe I just wanted to run stock rooted for a while so I unlocked my bootloader again, flashed the most recent TWRP and installed the most recent SuperSU zip.
Unfortunately it does not seem to have rooted my phone. SuperSU is indeed installed in the system folder and it prompts for root permission when I use root apps, but even when I grant permission the apps cannot obtain root access. What happens is it looks like they are going to get root access, the phone slows down a bit for a second, and then I get an error message from the app in question saying that either my phone isn't rooted or that root permission has been denied. If I open SuperSU, it lists all of my root apps with the green hashtag indicating that permission is granted.
Am I correct in assuming that installing SuperSU did not root my phone? If so, is there a way to root without installing a custom rom?
For clarification, this is all on the most recent RUU, software version 6.23.651..10, Lollipop 5.0.2
Thanks in advance.
Which version of SuperSU are you flashing?

Well I'm a dolt, I was using v1.69 but now I see that is a very old version. Going to try 2.46 right now, thanks.
Edit: Same issue on 2.46 :/
For anyone still looking at this thread, I was able to achieve root by flashing the newest SuperSU, version 2.52 which is actually still in beta and therefore not offered if you go to the main portion of the SuperSU website.
SuperSU v2.65 is the current stable offering
