SuperSU

Hi
I have installed SuperSU to my phone
Will this stop me getting any updates OTA
Thanks
Lee

No,
But you may lose root after ota.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Well, I installed SuperSU by flashing CWM-SuperSU-v.0.87.zip in CWM (which was first temporarily flashed using CWM.zip as an upgrade in the stock recovery)...
Here is the link for both zip files that I used to root:
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote/rooting/ICS
That rooted the phone fine while keeping everything stock and everything appears to work great, but now the OTA is failing...
So I'm running, thus rooted, stock 4.0.3 ICS and tried updating to 4.0.4 via OTA. Any ideas how to fix the failing OTA update without flashing a clean stock ROM via ODIN?

Unroot your phone using Busybox Uninstaller (If you have installed busybox from Dr.Ketan thread only) from Dr.Ketan Thread. And Try Again.

Thanks for the suggestion, but the rooting zip that I mentioned didn't come from the Dr's thread, so his unrooting zip won't help here...
I updated my post above with the link to the zip file that I used for the rooting.
Looks like installing SuperSU this way did something to the /system that causes the OTA to fail... Any ideas on how to work around this?

open super SU - setting - Full unroot

Thanks, but I already tried that: SuperSU uninstalls, but OTA still fails at apparently the same place. I installed it back from the market and tried the full unroot again, with the same result... Any other ideas?
Before rooting, all the previous OTA updates worked flawlessly.

Did you flash a custom kernel, e.g. franco (as also in the webpage)? It may be the issue.

I also tried to unroot using the Voodoo OTA RootKeeper, but that didn't help me either.

If you can download 550MB data, then just flash using PC odin.

No. Only stock kernels, regularly updated OTA

Yeah, looks like I will have to...
I just thought that installing only the SuperSU was such a minimalistic way to root and would be easy to unroot since the app itself provides that feature.
The only other thing that was done to this phone was to make Titanium backups of several apps, but I don't see how that could affect anything either.
Anybody else ran into this exact problem?

Easy Unrooting?
dr.ketan, is there a "SUPERSU-Busybox-UNinstaller.zip" corresponding to the SUPERSU-Busybox-Installer.zip from your original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
?
I see a set of attached files at the bottom of this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20963730&postcount=3
, but the insides of the SU-Busybox-Installer.zip are not the same as SUPERSU-Busybox-Installer.zip,
so I assume the SU-Uninstaller-signed.zip will not work. Or will it?
Thanks.

You can try the uninstaller. If you look at the script basically it will remove superuser.apk and su binary. Since superuser (by chainsDD) and superSU are using the same apk name (superuser.apk), the effect will be the same. However I'm not sure how to remove busybox other than by flashing stock kernel.

This is for SU Busybox installer, not for SuperSU busybox installer.
If you have rooted with same file, you can see attached with that uninstaller, then only it works
May it be work, but chances of leftover there.

Not so easy UNrooting...

Thanks for the input, kopitalk. Sounds like flashing stock kernel would be the only certain way to unroot in this case...

Which rom exactly? There are currently a total of 3 including the RUU. On the Superuser app check if there's a update for the binary.

Does TWRP ask you to install SuperSU when you try to exit it? I haven't tried on Lollipop yet, but I know when I've been running stock unrooted in the past, TWRP would prompt me to root when I restarted to system.

This method seems to work just fine for me. After installing supersu in TWRP then opened supersu selected TWRP and it downloaded the latest binaries and flashed in TWRP and worked fine after reboot.

I RUU'ed today to the newest Sprint M7 version. After downloading TWRP Manager got message that TWRP needs root permissions. Downloaded WinDroid, used it to flash TWRP. then used it to gain root access. WinDroid did not work for me on Windows 10 Tech Preview. Went to other hard drive with Win 7, and worked great. The thing I have noticed is that Root App Delete will not uninstall the Sprint bloat, or the Google crap (movies, TV, books, etc).

Unfortunately it does not. I even tried Philz to see if it would root and it's still a no go. Philz said I was rooted and just needed to download superuser from the play store. I downloaded super user and it says I need to root my phone.

Shouldn't need to install the superuser app. It should already be installed.
Root again and watch the process. Particularly watch to see if the system and cache partition successfully mount or fail.
This is why I need screen shots and vids.

Can you post a screen shot of root validator so I can see what got installed.
If the partitions mount as you say then there may be a problem with the supersu script.
You should not have to install any superuser app or update the binary as the exploit uses the latest binaries.
I will be turning in for tonight so if you can get the screen shots of the process where it mounts the partitions and where it installs the supersu files and a screen shot from root validator that will give me something to look at tomorrow.

Try replacing Kingroot with SuperSU first with this method http://zidroid.com/how-to-get-ride-and-replace-kinguser-with-supersu-app/
Then unroot using SuperSU.
It might work. I have done the first part but not the second.

After rooting with king root, if you reboot, then the root is gone. By normal methods, this should not happen, thats why the its often not encouraged.

I had created pre-rooted FTF strictly according to the instructions given. But that did not give me root. Why? Was the use of Philz Touch to flash the probable reason?
I am dreading going through the whole process again!
Is there a way to see if I have full root or not? Because Root Checker says I have root. Other super user activities run properly. Link2SD is able to integrate updates of system apps to /system successfully. If there is no read/write access to /system, then how is Link2SD able to do that?
Only in a file manager I am not able to modify /system files.
And funny thing is sometime back, I did have ability to modify /system. Don't know how I got it, don't know how I lost it.

You see KingRoot is the culprit here, I have gone through some threads, which also confirms that king root turns your system, write protected. Also not all apps need write access to system thats why other root apps works properly for you. Regarding Link2SD, they make symlinks to /system so not exactly writing to system.
I suggest you do a clean root by flashing by the correct method.

I do not understand what is going on here. I have flashed and lost root now.
In the previous version of Pre-Rooted Zip (which I had used) I had also included RICDefeat.zip. As all documents suggest that with XZDualRecovery it is not needed, this time I recreated a Pre-Rooted Zip from scratch using PRFCreator v1.1 (the latest available) with only the original FTF created using Flashtool, SuperSU 2.46.zip and XZDualRecovery 2.8.21.zip. PRFCreator worked seemingly without error and I got a nice final ZIP.
Then I booted into TWRP, flashed this ZIP. Everything seemed to go fine except I had an error at the end which said "unable to mount /system" (this was after SuperSU and XZDualRecovery were successfully flashed.)
On rebooting I find that I no longer have root. Does this mean that I cannot flash the firmware again?

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.

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.

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.
