Super User problems - Nexus 7 General

I unlocked my boot loader.. The boot screen also shows the unlock sign.. But SuperSU refuses to work.. I cannot even uninstall it.. I reset the tablet so is it okay to just clear the SuperSU files?

Did you even flash a su zip to root the device? Sounds like you just installed the supersu apk?

Yeah, sounds like you unlocked the bootloader and installed superSU yourself... Unlocking the bootloader is not rooting.

[Q] Htc One Root help!

Just tried rooting the phone for the first time. Not too familiar with rooting. Only done a few phones before.
Unlocked boot loader on dev site. Installed TWRP just fine. Installing root package went fine, but I was unable to install busybox. It would either fail to install, or crash the phone and reboot. I found a root + busybox zip, flashed that, and then SuperSU said I wasn't rooted at all! Tried flashing the old SuperSU root package again, but I'm still not rooted anymore. Can someone give me a quick fix for this please?
Thanks.
Is there anyone that can give me some advice? It would be MUCH appreciated!
hi friend ..
i'm also new about rooting hTC (1st time).i'd like to help, but not good enough on explanation ..i root my hTC One on day 2nd bought it.Might some help from youtube and xda topics about unlock bootloader, s-off & rooting.
after u done unlock bootloader, just download twrp zip or cwm zip..extract it copy twrp file (img) on fastboot folder (on pc drive with fastboot files for unlock bootloader process).
right click img file to open as cmd.Then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" then press enter..if u see word just like okay u can go back to bootloader mode, select recovery if u see word on top of screen while htc booting mode that's mean u already done flashing recovery.wait just 2 second, twrp should appear..u should download superSU or super user early put on ur sd then u flash it use twrp..check ur root status use root checker or titanium backup.lastly u tap on superSU or super user icon to update binary (for this method i'm not sure u need to update or not) might somebody got any best answer..
sorry for bad english & too simple methods.

I did, but when I opened it, it says I wasn't rooted as if I just installed it from the play store without a root.

Does your LG G4 haven't got a key press combination to go to bootloader menu ?
Oooh wait first hit on Google search.
How to Boot into Fastboot Mode on LG G4 with the help of its Hardware Buttons:
First of all, turn off the smartphone.
Then, press and hold the Power and Volume Up keys at the same time for about 6 or 7 seconds.
Plug in the USB cable for your smartphone and connect it to your PC.
Release the keys only when the download mode is being displayed.
Same problem here! Nog able to het Root acces.(su binary not installed), so says Supersu. Probally because cm and Supersu Have a conflict. So how to delete the 'System' Supersu app?

You have to use the clean up option in the app or remove the app manually through terminal or adb shell

How can I remove the app manually? When I open SuperSU, it won't let me open it because SuperSU says something like "cannot install SuperSU" and quits.

Root with Marshmallow 6.0.1?

I just bought my nexus 6 and only have a pc to use for one day and wanted to know the best, safe way to root this phone. It's a Google play edition.

Realy dude? Tons of threads of how to root with 6.0.1.
Anyway here are the basics:
- Enable oem unlocking and usb debugging in developer options
- Unlock the bootloader: Boot into fastboot and in cmd type: fastboot oem unlock (will wipe your phone so backup first!), reboot
- Flash or boot into TWRP, do NOT modify system if TWRP asks you to.
- Flash the latest systemless superSU.2.67 root zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344, TWRP will ask you to root, ignore that!
- Reboot and install BusyBox from Play
- Done.
Don't i have to install the files for the computer and all that for the drivers and download such stuff?

Yes, you have to install the sdk platform-tools in order to do this. Look here for a fast and easy way http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979.

You can unroot from within the superSU app or flash the UPDATE-unSU.zip in recovery and reroot. Next version of TWRP will probably be compatible with systemless root.

Leave it as it is if you have no issues, but both methods used at the same time on the same phone can cause problems with root and permissions.

Can't open superuser?

Hey guys I tried to root my HTC One Mini 2 using Kingoroot which says it succeeded, however the superuser kingo installed does not open, in fact it just pops up an error saying: "com.kingo..." has stopped working. I tried to restart the device and re root it but it still pops up the same error message when attempting to open superuser, anyone know what is the problem here?

Then instead of using Kingroot, try flashing the SuperSU zip through a custom recovery.
I did not find the need to use SuperSU when rooting the One Mini 2, just unlocked the bootloader, flashed custom recovery and then flashed the ROM.
Works super fine..

TWRP V2.8.5.0 worked for me.
Unlocking bootloader will DELETE ALL DATA, you can follow the steps to unlock bootloader here : http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader
Download file and run as Administrator (Windows) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_1zjuazXSqbQ0p6NWtvRk9OMzA/edit?pli=1
Enter Bootloader>Fastboot and with the device connected run the below command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img (place TWRP in the same folder as the ADB downloaded file, usually C:\ADB\)
fastboot erase cache

OP3 T Root Issue

Tried to root OP3T with 7.0 . Not sure what happened but the phone is stuck in bootloop.
What do I need to do to get rid of boot loop ? Do I need different version of SU which works with 7.0 ?
What version of SuperSU are you using? Older versions will cause you to get stuck on the boot animation.
Try v2.79. It should reboot once or twice during first boot after flashing.
Alternatively, you can also root by flashing Magisk v11.1.

First, reflash OS to get a stable starting point. Then use the unofficial beta release of twrp to flash. I have heard of success with a fork ( blu something) but basically he merged the same patches.
Check the dm-verity thread for more details

I used SU version 2.79 and how do I get rid of this boot screen now. Video is using same version of SU I used which caused bootloop.
Is there another version of SU which doesn't cause bootloop ?

He can, by doing as it says. To keep root, Use a SYSTEM version of SuperSU then relock the bootloader. This wipes data but SuperSU is then part of the OS so will survive the lock. Obviously, all user data gets wiped In the process.

I did this with OxygenOS 3.5.(4?) in order to pass safetynet before the bootloader patched kernels were created.

Thank you for telling this.
This was a normal thing in rn3 thread.
Where even we flashed roms with locked bootloader. And whatever we can do through recovery we did with locked bootloader.
Didn't try it here though.
So after rooting 7.0 I can then lock the phone and rooting will still work. Not sure how will that happen as phone will be wiped

Someone said to use system root.
And then lock the bootloader. Since the su is in system, it won't be wiped.
Haven't tried it but should work THEORETICALLY
What exactly is system root is that a flashable zip or regular SU in rom when rom gets rooted .

Regular su.
Earlier su used to be system root.
The systemless root started quite recently.
So do I need to use seamless root or SU for 7.0
On using systemless root it will be deleted when you lock bootloader.
You need to use system root for naught
Keep in mind that if you update OOS after locking the bootloader,you'll lose root. Afterwards, you'll have to unlocked the bootloader again - and wiping your device in the process - to reroot.
