[SOLVED]Automatically unrooted?

Hi guys,
I just went into system apps, via Solid Explorer to grab an apk to put on my dev-host, when I got an error saying that I don't have root access.
I tried accessing other files in system root to get the same error. So I downloaded Root Checker and for some reason that's also saying that I don't have root access.
I know for a fact I have though as I've just been using root only features in ROM Toolbox Pro without an issue.
Any ideas as to why it's saying I don't have root access when I clearly do?
I'm on stock 4.2.2 and used the rooting tools in mike1986.'s thread to root once I'd flashed the stock ROM.

I downloaded the deodexed version which had superuser installed by using the rooting tools.
I flashed it a few days ago and have had no issues with being rooted until now. As I say, I'm still rooted but my phone's telling me I'm not and I'm not sure why.

It already had the permissions from when I first installed solid explorer.
I just found out what my problem was. Superuser was installed by default and I downloaded SuperSU afterwards and must've disabled superuser and therefore was getting partial unroot issues.
I've now uninstalled superuser and I've got full access back

[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.

Also working with Xperia sp

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

works great...thanks

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)

Works on mine. Update the superuser binaries before deleting Chinese superuser app. On mine, supersu detected the Chinese one and deleted it for me

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!

Lost root trying to get Android Pay

I tried turning off\disabling root to get Android Pay to work and now I can't get root back.
Whenever I open SuperSU it just says the binaries are missing. I've tried flashing the SuperSU zip in the recovery, but it still just says the binaries are missing.
I've also tried uninstalling SuperSU from the Play Store, and it just removes the latest update, doesn't actually uninstall it.
Ideas?

There will be no root support for android pay. Explanation here

Yeah I know, that's why i was trying to temporarily get rid of root, but now i can't get root back. Any ideas how I can? SuperSU just keeps telling me there aren't any binaries, even when i try to flash the zip

The exact same thing happened to me when trying out android pay. Did you ever figure this out? Thanks!

Root Error

Correct me if I am posting this in the wrong forum.
Lately I have been getting an error in root checker saying that root access is not properly operating and this stops me from using any root application as it says I need root access to use, on top of that some of my modules aren't working. But the thing is everything is fine and I gain full root access again when I restart my phone? Not sure what I did wrong but if someone could let me know that would be a big help. Thanks ?

And this too

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!!

use the latest SuperSU

I am on version 2.65 and from what I can tell, that is the latest.

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.

and supersu 2.71 http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133

Thank you for the reply, Sorry I failed to mention I do have the move listed busy box installed as well. I have clicked on install from within the app as well. Still none of the mentioned root apps work, all say phone appears to not be rooted...

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.
