So when i got my htc one, international version, i imidietly rooted it. I fund out that there was an update, and flashed back to stock recovery.
Installed the update. And now i guess root is gone, but superuser is still there and i can't unistall it. Is there any way to uninstall it without rooting again?
No, you cannot remove system apps without root access so you'll need to flash the custom recovery and then reinstall SuperSU
ok thanks
To Unroot your device.. .. follow these steps
> Launch Super SU
> Go to Settings
> And choose full unroot
Unrooting basically involves removing SuperUser.apk file and su binaries.
The Files you need to remove:
/system/bin/su
/system/xbin/su
/system/app/Superuser.apk
Removing these three files removes root from your Android device.

Hi,
I'm rooted with the stock ROM but having some trouble installing busybox using the installer from the play store.
Using the 'normal' installation method it tells me if failed for an unknown reason or reboots the phone.
Any ideas?
Download root checker and verify that you have root
If you do, try another app, if not, you can always download the busybox binary yourself and install it :good:
Root verified, other root apps work fine also. Will try another busy box method
None of the installers seem to work, should I be pushing to /system/bin correct?
are you on the 1.27 stock rom? zhis rom is odexed and i got the same problem. after installing a deodexed rom with 1.28 i was able to install it
Stock 1.28 - Odexed
i think the odexed is the problem
Yeah, push to /system/bin
Then run (in a terminal / shell)
Code:
busybox install ./

Might be a dumb ass question here but I can't find flashable zip file to install Busybox through recovery, anyone got a link or tell me where I can find one?
Thanks.
Just flashed Sinless ROM and although it came with SuperSU by chainfire. I decided I wanted to remove it and install superuser by clockworkmod instead. For some reason superuser app didn't actually root the system, so I attempted to uninstall it and reinstall SuperSU. This is where I'm stuck. I cannot remove superuser app no matter what I try, even deleting it with a file manager or disabling the app. Anyone have any ideas? Really need my root back. Thanks

If it's in /system, you need root to remove it (which you don't have). I suggest going into recovery and then flashing Superuser with the SU binaries that allows root to work.

Tried this and that is what I am attempting to remove from the system to no avail. Anything else I can try? I don't know why it won't give superuser access either.

So flashing that zip didn't flash the SU binaries either?
Try flashing this then: http://download.chainfire.eu/382/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip
The main important thing is to get the SU binaries installed to allow the superuser apps to work. Once you have that installed try to change superuser apps again (do not choose the full remove option as that will also remove the SU binaries).
Another option is to try flash the ROM again.

Just did this buy with v.1.8 of SuperSU and everything worked perfect. Thank you
Here is the scenario. I updated SuperSU v2.46 that came with the LG G4 root injection method with SuperSU v2.52 by running the Superuser.apk which basically installed /data/apps/<appname>/base.apk which worked as v2.52 except SuperSU will not install itself to /system even though I selected that option in SuperSU in which it said it will need to do a cleanup and reboot. So I manually renamed the base.apk to SuperSU.apk, changed the owner/group to root/root and kept the permissions as rw-r--r--, moved the file to /system/apps/SuperSU/SuperSU.apk, deleted the /data/apps/<appname> folder for SuperSU and restarted the phone. The only thing is SuperSU does not show up in the app launcher and the SuperSU.apk has the Android icon instead of the SuperSU app icon so I flashed the SuperSU v2.52 zip file with flashfire and it did restore /system/apps/SuperSU/SuperSU.apk with the correct icon except the problem is I noticed with Android 5.1 lollipop, you just can't replace a .apk in /system/app by moving it from /data/app as it will not even show up in the launcher. Not sure if this is a Lollipop thing or a LG thing as on previous Motorola phones running 4.4 Kitkat and below, replacing the .apk will usually work. I've cleared the app cache, deleted the files in /data/dalvik-cache/arm, /data/dalvik-cache/arm64 and /data/dalvik-cache/profiles without deleting the folders as I don't know if it's safe deleting the folders and also clearing the system /cache to see if it makes a difference. Didn't work. Does anyone know how I can fix this because it seems like once you updated to a newer version that installs in /data/apps, even if you delete the /data/apps version, it will not use the /system/apps version and simply ignore it. The only reason I still have root is probably because of the su binary still on the system.
Try:
- Make sure you've manually removed all SuperSU's APK files (/system, /data, etc)
- Reboot device
- From PC: adb uninstall eu.chainfire.supersu
- Or from root shell: pm uninstall eu.chainfire.supersu
- Reboot device
- Install SuperSU.apk (via adb, file explorer, Play Store, etc)

My only concern is that on the LG G4, the original SuperSU was injected into the system image and as I have a locked bootloader still, it seems like if I did that, the only way I'll get root is if I reflash the system image again. It doesn't happen with just SuperSU but pretty much any apk in system that gets a newer version installed in data as it seems even if the data one was deleted, it will never use the one in system again.. Is there a way to use either adb or pm and install to system instead of data?
I received my amazon7 5gen tablet on 5.1.1. I rooted it and used flashfire.27 to install slimlp5.1.1 on it. I backed up slimlp like I did my orginal firerom with flashfire.27 and installed cm12(5.1.1) I did a wipe, cm12.zip and picogapps.zip and slid the wipe to the top of the list. All went well except I now have no root access. after installing Flashfire it is asking for root I tried installing SuperSu from the appstore but it woud not work using the "normal" way. twrp is not installed so that is not an option? was I supposed to flash supersu.zip during install?
thanks in advance.
edit: never mind I found enable root access in developer options.
Been there. Super Tool can help you root the device as if you had the stock ROM. If you run into any issues, run the batch commands by hand. In general it looks like this:
Use fastboot commands to temporarily unlock the kernel
Remount the system partion as read/write
Copy over the 5 files required for root
Allow execute privs and run root_fire.sh
After you have root, you can use FlashFire for other zip flashing such as Xposed or other ROMs.
Worst case scenario: sideload the 5.1.1 stock FW and start from scratch, remembering to flash CM+GApps+SU this time Good luck!
Hello everyone,
So I wanted to root my Honor 5c (NEM-L51) under android 7.0, so I have unlocked the bootloader, I have installed a custom recovery compatible with android 7.0 which is twrp-3.1.0-2-hi6250 I think ...
Then I tried to flash the supersu.zip, I had to try several versions because many did not work and indicate "image boot patcher" failure aborting "then I flash a supersu that works but I have the impression that the root has badly installed ...
I explain, first I test with root checker which tells me that everything is fine, but I can not update the binaries su as the supersu app asks me ... I reboot remove , Reinstall the app supersu NOTHING does !! So I wanted to remove the root to reinstall it properly but it does not want to be deleted (root checker still shows the presence of the root) more so I wanted to delete it manually but the file "system / bin / su " and "xbin / su "are not found there is only one su "su" file at the root directory...
Maybe the best method would be to flash the emui stock rom 5.0 but it is not found, and it seems to me that you must also remove the root to avoid any "brick"..
if you have solutions to my questions it would be fine !!!!!
Thank you in advance !!!

I have the same problem with the latest stable SuperSU (2.82) that asks me to update the su binary and fails.
As for the su binary not found in /system/bin and /system/xbin it's probably because SuperSU made a systemless root (check this).
And be advised there might be some problem with restoring in the TWRP version you found (see here).
[EDIT]: I was able to update my SuperSU installation by flashing the latest stable version from the official thread with TWRP.
