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.

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.
Hi I'm trying to install above since viper4android wont work with the stock su, but no luck.
I've tried installing from the market per this:
1. Install SuperSU from Play Store.
2. Open SuperSU and grant it SuperUser permissions (important; if you delete SuperUser before you grant rights to SuperSU you lose your root and need to either reflash the ROM or flash the zip I linked above).
3. gone into supersu settings and told it to grant su on boot, and grant to anything in the system folder as well
and I've also tried installing the zip version in recovery. I've also tried using the file manager in recovery to rename the current su binary in system//xbin and put the new one from the zip file in the directory.
Any way I try installing it freezes on boot up and I have to restore a nand to get my TP working again.
Overall loving flintmans new evervolv, it's really smooth, but the sound on the TP is pretty low and crappy sounding without viper4android so it's a pretty big issue for me.
Can anyone help please?
PS I cant find the apk for the current su, maybe thats part of my issue as well. Also Supersu works with 3.4 kernel version of cyanogenmod so its not a kernel issue.
I just tried to install busybox, but without any success. Whenever I try to install it, my phone just reboots.
I tried the unbezahlter by jrummy as well as Stephen. Both without success.
Am I missing something?
BTW: I already remounted the system partition r/w using the jrummy installer.

Stock kernel enforces write protection on the /system partition, even after attempting to remount rw. A solution is to install busybox via a flashable zip in TWRP/CWM recovery.
Thx, that worked.
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.

No prob
I flashed the latest SuperSU zip with TWRP to a MotoG 2015 with the latest Lineage. After that, I noticed that there is a native SuperSU for Lineage, which I would prefer to use.
I was not able to find a "remove" package so I uninstalled the SuperSU app from the launcher. Now I'm not sure if that really removed everything from the system because I installed it in the first place by flashing it with TWRP.
My question is, can I safely install the native SuperSU (by flashing with TWRP) or do I have to remove any files from the former SuperSU manually?
There's a full unroot option in the app. Reinstall from the Play store and run that...
Or if you have any issue with the unroot option in the app, you can always flash the unSU Script zip from here.

You're right, I did not see that before. Works pretty good, now I've installed the native SuperSU and everything works fine. Thank you.
