Go to SuperSU / Supersuser menu and from there choose full unroot. Then, reboot the device and check root access.

I am not sure about this, but you can try to install the SuperSU.apk from the play store and then see if it works...

Looking for this too
I recently upgraded to CM10.1 and am faced with the same challenge, rooting/unrooting with CM9 and superuser.apk was easy. How can I go about this now?

[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.

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

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)

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!

Is My phone rooted?

Hi. I just download and install recovery software call: Dr.Fone for android.
After prepared my phone to works with this software it was restart.
Software is relay good as I could recover my sms but! All apps related to banks stops working and give me msg: You phone is rooted.
Apps : check my root - says: - phone is not rooted... so, any idea what happen?

did you root it?
did you unlock the bootloader?

how can I check if bootloader is unlocking?
OK, I open Service menu and under Configuration it says: Rooting status: Bootloader unlock allowed: No
So is not rooted, but why banking apps stop working and says: apps not working on rooted devices - before I install dr.Fone banking apps works with no problem.

Then it is not unlocked because it says you cannot do it..
I think the app you istalled is the problem, uninstall it
Unless you have been through a process to root the phone will not maigically root itself.
Maybe you should repair the software with pccompanion just to be sure and not install dr.Fone app (Of which I have never heard of before..)

Try it yourself:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en

Im guessing you were taken for a ride with this app. Ill try to help you out a bit. That app (dr.whatever) left files on your phone that are probably the problem. Use your file explorer to navigate to your internal storage, find the folder named Android. Inside you will see two folders named data and obb. Inside you will find all the data for your applications (each located within thier own folder). Look through these for a folder with the name or developers name (sometimes this can be tricky because there are no spaces in the file name, as well its usually initials or abbreviations.) Locate the folder and delete it, then reboot. Since your not rooted, you cant wipe your caches and data as we do so just try this out.

When I connect phone with dr.fone it was this same way....
That means my Phone is rooted?
Root Checker Pro:

Can anybody explain me what this mean and is my phone rooted or not?

why don't you just try and root again with either doomlords easy root or bin4rys root kit.
That way you will definitely be rooted

To be not rooted. Cos I cant use some apps, witch I use on regular basis.
If I take factory reset - it will be after unrooted?

I don't think that you are rooted at all, that Dr Fone app sounds fishy and bogus to me (as others have stated as well).
Best bet is imho to repair with PC Companion as greg has also mentioned. You could also try removing any superuser app that apparently is somewhere on you device, it might be that your banking app checks for this.
Edit:
That Dr Fone app is not even in my Play Store - I would probably opt for a factory reset, rather than repair. Sounds like malware to me. If you want to backup something from your device, stay with the regular, known and trusted apps!

Which apps can not be used on a rooted phone? I never came across anything I can't use on my rooted phone, as opposed to an unrooted one. Just the opposite is true. There are many apps and functions that do work on a rooted phone, which I would be missing a lot if I was not rooted.
Dr.Fone seems to have manipulated with your system. My suggestion is first using the Doomlord easy rooting kit. It works like a charm, and also allows unrooting later in case you do not need to be rooted. Then uninstall that Dr. Fone thing (and everything else you don't need).
Like some of the others I do have suspicions regarding Dr. Fone software. There are so many useful tools and apps from reputable sources you can use on a rooted phone, it is almost overwhelming. What made you grab such a dubious app?
Now it is already on the second page for a relatively simple issue which basically comes down to one point: Get rid of that Dr.Fone. Action required.
No offence intended.

Flash a stock ftf you definitely not be rooted anymore.
There are several apps that don't work on rooted phones, sky go being one of them.
It is generally done by apps that have copy right laws to enforce or subscription issues.

Rooted, but no rooted apps work

Hello,
I recently used the toolkit to unlock and root my Sprint N6. Super user was installed and works. I installed Rootcheck after everything was complete and it verifies that the phone is rooted. I have installed Nexus 6 double tap to wake and LED control and both state that the phone is not rooted. Super user shows both those apps have super user access.
What am I missing? Thank you!!

you will also need to install busybox as well, as many root apps need it. install from the play store, then install from the app. search busybox in the play store, then choose stericsons version.

try flashing the supersu 2.71 with twrp recovery, you should have root when you boot up. dont use the toolkit.

simms22,
I flashed version 2.71 through recovery, after reboot it was installed. Same "phone does not appear to be rooted" when trying to use the root apps... Root check still says phone is rooted. This is puzzling!

very odd! tell me, which rom are you using? and did you wipe your data before rooting? if not, you might have to wipe your data then reflash your rom/gapps, and supersu.

I am stock rooted. Yes I wiped data and started from scratch after unlock and root.

when you try to use a root app, so you get a little popup that asks you to give the app root? do yoh have the supersu app installed as well?

Yes SuperSU 2.71 flashed, the popup comes up and I grant access. Then each app says not rooted. Makes zero sense... The apps even show up in SuperSU app.

Yes, there is a popup and I have granted SU access to the above root apps, still no joy. I have SuperSU 2.71 flashed and installed, Root check verifies root.

I had this. The fix is to uninstall Busybox and reinstall into an alternative directory where it can be found. Mine appears to work fine in /su/bin, but if that doesn't work for you try the others (/system/xbin, /system/bin etc.)
It may not even need to be uninstalled - you could just try installing into the different directories until you find the one that the root apps are checking for root, though I'm not sure whether that would clutter your device with redundant binaries. I'm sure someone will be able to advise on that.

attempt of a generic root explanation (in progress)

Hallo,
managing some different devices and run them mostly with custom ROMs, rooting was again and again a topic in this endeavour. During this course I've came accross so many resources but it isn't 100% clear for me. This is an attempt to get any uncertainties resolved.
Any input is welcome.
There are many explaining what rooting means, gaining administrative rights on the file system of your phone (in linux, root or superuser is the username of the master admin). With root access, you can install and uninstall anything you want on the phone. But resources what rooting actually does on modern Android are widely scattered around but I haven't found place yet where it all is well explained in one decent post. I've gone through some articles but still don't fully understand what it does and how can I hide later on as it certain apps won't run if they detect if a phone is rooted. These are my resources:
Best way to hide Root and SuperSU from apps that otherwise block access on Lineage?

OEM Unlock will allow your phone to root. If you are rooted and you disable this option, your phone will brick (as it will enable the device to check system signatures). I had this mistake and my SS phone said on reboot "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock"
