How did you root your device? I once experienced that too, I just tried another flashable zip to root and worked fine. Try re-rooting your phone. In what thread did you get the method?
EDIT: Try updating the superuser app too. might help? good luck

tried upd_1.zip,root.zip(9xx.kb),acegingerroot.zip and super SU.zip
Rooted by cwm

Replace the su file in xbin with the newest su binaries file yourself..

Is your phone GT-S5830T? Telstra locked. If so, you have to use CF-root 3.7 to root your phone. It looks like your phone is not rooted.

Rooted my phone but getting error message
I get this when I open Superuser#
The Superuser binary (su) must be updated.
Please choose an installation method.
Recovery mode installation is recommended for HTC devices.
If I hit install or recovery install I get an error message.
If I try installing titanium backup it says root access failed.
I am using a Telus Samsung S4 with the all the latest updates on it.
If my phone cannot be rooted can I undo the process that I have already done. I am a novice. This is my first attempt at rooting

[Q] Am I rooted or not rooted ?

Hi,
I am trying to figure out whether my Samsung Note N7000 is rooted or not.
I thought I have rooted it as there is a superuser app on the phone. But when I run a root checker app it tells me my phone is not rooted, I tried running rooted apps but not able to so I guess the phone is not rooted.
So I tried rooting my phone again using Superoneclick 2.3.1.0 but the program tells me my phone has ALREADY BEEN ROOTED and whether I want to proceed or not. I select to proceed but Superoneclick hangs at "Shell rooting device... - Step #7" "WaitForDevice"
Both the USB debugging and unknown sources boxes are ticked, SD card unmounted.
Can anyone help ?

I'm also not sure if your phone rooted or not..

Reboot into your boot loader, it should tell you there whether it's unlocked or not.

If you insist the fixing problem on the app which you are using,

i had the same issue, i posted a new thread asking about this but all i got was some funny solutions like reboot your phone, blink with your left eye ... etc.
so here is what i did to fix it
1- restore (the normal restore from backup & reset option on the settings) the whole device again after backing up all my data and removing the external SD card.
2- with the root still exists i rerooted using this method (Root MANY ANDROID!)
3- i installed all my apps and settings again manually to assure that there is no conflicts with the previous backup.
4- everything went well now

[Q] help me root correctly

Ok, I have been reading and want to root this bad boy but everywhere I read I get confused. Don't flash using kingo. Use root de la vega but if your on MJ5 like me then don't use de la vega. So, what do I do? I want to root, and run xposed but I also want to do it correctly. Did I mention that I'm on MJ5?
Please, any help would be nice.

Just use Kingo... I used it with no issues other than the custom padlock showing at boot.

And you can get rid of the padlock after you install a few tweaks using wanam xposed.

Yeah everyone is so afraid of Kingo. Just do it. I did it weeks ago and enjoying my root.

Another vote for Kingo.

There is nothing to follow. Just Google Kingo, download the app to you PC, start the app and follow what it says, it is all automatic...

There s no version 2 yet. I think it's up to 1.1.5. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I have successfully rooted using Kingo v1.1.5. I am wondering if doing a factory reset will break the root? It shoud not right? Because all it does is wipe put personal data, i.e. contacts, calendar, account etc.? Thanks

Hi
Please follow the below steps
Step 1. First, make sure you have either SM-N9005, SM-N9006, SM-N900, Korean SM-N900S, Canadian SM-N900W8, Sprint SM-N900P, or T-Mobile SM-N900T model Note 3. If your model is not listed, try CF Auto Root instead.
For AT&T Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900A root method, see How to Root AT&T Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900A!
For Verizon Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900A root method, see How to Root Verizon Galaxy Note 3!
Download the following files:
Download appropriate CWM or TWRP recovery for your Note 3 (Make sure you download the CORRECT version for your Note 3 model!!!)
Download ODIN program and unzip.
Download SuperSU zip file
Download and install Samsung USB drivers
Step 2. Turn off your Note 3.
Step 3. Hold down, Volume Down, Center Home, and Power buttons together for about 2-3 seconds then let go of all buttons when you see a warning screen:
Then hit Volume Up button to enter Download mode.
Step 4. You should now see Download mode. This is the ODIN download mode where you can use ODIN to install custom recovery.
Step 5. Plug a micro-USB cable from your Note 3 to your computer.
Step 6. Run ODIN program you downloaded earlier in Step 1. (only for Windows or use VMWare on Linux/Mac).You should see a yellow-highlighted box with a random COM number in ODIN program. If you do not see it, download and install Samsung USB drivers then unplug/re-plug the micro-USB cable. Also, you may have to use a USB 3.0 cable supplied with your Note 3, try plugging it in a USB 3.0 port first and if that doesn’t work plug it into a regular USB 2.0 port. One of them should work.
Step 7. DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE but choose “PDA” in ODIN program then find the CWM recovery .tar file you downloaded earlier then hit Start button.
Step 8. Your Note 3 should now reboot. When rebooted, copy the SuperSU zip file you downloaded in Step 1 to your Note 3 internal storage.
Step 9. Turn off your Note 3.
Step 10. Hold down, Volume Up, Center Home, and Power buttons together for about 6-7 seconds then let go of all buttons.
Step 11. You should now be in CWM recovery. Choose “Install zip”, then “Install from sdcard”, then choose the SuperSU zip file you downloaded earlier.
Step 12. Reboot and your Note 3 should be rooted. You can verify by downloading and running Titanium Backup app from Play Store.

But if you use cf auto root you will trip Knox and you will void warranty.

Just use Kingo, it's safe and it works with no KNOX tripping. You can also revert it if you choose to go back to stock unrooted.

If you are worried about voiding your warranty, then you shouldn't root your phone..

For those worried about Kingo this is copied from their current user agreement. So if they violate it then you have a case for a law suit against them..
5.5 Android ROOT DOES NOT contain any malicious codes aimed at undermining user data and accessing users private information, or any function codes monitoring and tracking user computer, DOES NOT monitor users online and offline behavior, collect any user information of other software and documents, or disclose any private information.
If they where fishy as some around here say they would not include that paragraph in their own agreement to hang themselves with..

Would Kingo work for the att note 3 ?

[Q] Root for VS980 on KitKat 4.4.2?

Is there a method to root the Verizon LG G2 (VS980) on the stock OTA Kit Kat 4.4.2 build yet?
I bought the phone used, already had the OTA on it...now I just need root.
Not interested in Rom'ing, just need tethering without the $30/month charge for the few times I use it and need root to do it.
Thanks!

ioroot25 should still work...

I'm considering a G2 also and have been wondering the same. From what I gathered you would have to go back to 4.2.2 first, gain root, and then flash back to 4.4.2. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

You don't have to. Ioroot25 will root the official kk. That's what I used and it worked without an issue. Just make sure all the proper drivers are installed on your computer...

As far as that goes, how is installing the LG G2 unified drivers supposed to go? I found the download link for them in the main 200 page thread for this. Extracted the zip, but none of the .exe files do anything when run. Is that normal or is something wrong? For example I tried running InstallUSB64.exe but absolutely nothing happens.
Another more recent post on like page 185 of the thread had another download link, but that just leads to a file called "LG" with no extension and it doesn't appear to be a .zip

No you will need to root and then install custom recovery. Depending on what you are on. If you are on kitkat you can use autorec, and anything earlier you can use flashify.

I am not sure about the question but I know when you root this phone there is a trip where it will show in the lg menu that it is rooted. In order to get rid of that you will have to return to stock. Tell you though I have had this phone for a few months now and I am glad i finally decided to root and put custom recovery on. Its my phone and set up the way I want with root and all.

no problem. If you want a nice working asop rom check on Vanir 4.4.3

I'm having a hell of a time trying to get this thing to root. I followed all of the instructions for installing the LG device drivers and when I go to run the IOroot25 it flashes really quickly and then goes away. USB debugging is enabled and I have tried it in ethernet mode and charging mode. Both produce the same result. Do I need to remove any other drives I might have on my computer in order to get it to work? Any other ideas?

You need to be in Ethernet mode.
Once it boots into recovery, did you scroll down and select "install from adb"?

Im having problems rooting it as well. I installed the latest drivers 1.14 I believe, and when trying to root it using ioroot25 it says downgrade to a previous version.
I do have it on Ethernet mode, and it reboots it into recovery, but that's it. I select apply update from adb but again, on ioroot it does nothing after the suggestion to downgrade.
any suggestions?

Make sure your phone is setup. Debugging mode is set. Unknown sources is set. Phone is on airplane mode. Plug into computer and start ioroot25 and follow steps
