Android 4.3 : after OTA update problem with root - Binary installation

Hello
I've just don't an OTA upgrade to Android 4.3 to my new Sprint HTC One.
After the OTA I rooted the device and installed recovery.
After I restarted the phone and launch the SuperSU I got this message :
"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem.
If you just upgraded to Android 4.3 you need to manually re-root."
I would like to ask what should I do to make the root process sucseful .
I'm a newbe in the Android world and use some root manual I found.
1. What does it mean to re-root?
2. Should I unroot first ? And how it can be done?
3. Is there an 4.3 root manual somewhere to the make the SuperSU work?
Any instructions will be great help.
Thanks

Did you ever figure out how to get root? I am currently experiencing same issue.

Same issue
Same exact problem! Bump.
Any suggestions?

Please don't take OTAs after you've rooted your phone, because almost always it will wipe your root. Here is how I do my rooting.
Step 1: Go to htcdev.com and get your bootloader unlocked (this process will reset your phone back to factory setting, so back up all your pics, music, etc)
Step 2: Right after bootloader is unlocked, install a custom recovery (I prefer TWRP 2.6.3.0 for Sprint HTC One 4.3)
Step 3: As part of TWRP installation, SuperUser will be installed (root)
Step 4: Make a nandroid backup of your phone in TWRP. After that, install a custom ROM of your liking (there are plenty wonderful ones in Development section). This will keep your phone from taking OTA updates from Sprint/HTC. Don't worry, Devs on these forums (and their respective ROMs) are months ahead of Sprint in terms of updates.
For more details, head over to Development section and look for rooting instructions. there are very detailed tutorials there. Hope this helps.

If all you want is pure stock with root -- just flash one of the already rooted stock ROMs in your custom recovery (assuming you loaded TRWP or PhilZ or CWM):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48653344&postcount=2
If you want (more or less) stock with a *significantly* better experience (e.g., 30 volume steps, extreme stability, bla bla bla), I'd suggest InsertCoin (the thread is here whereas the download for our phone is here.
For either pick, since your coming in fresh to the ROM, do a full wipe (InsertCoin will do that for you as an option to the install, but I usually do that in recovery anyway).
Also -- note that InsertCoin *might* start the install and seemingly hang. That's a bug in Aroma, just hard restart the phone and try again -- letting the installer perform the wipe. It will work, and you'll be happy -- I'm sure.

See my previous post (you can just load a rooted stock ROM). But "re-root" is something you do by either flashing the SuperSU.zip file, or letting your recovery take care of re-rooting.
No need to unroot.
My take? Backup your current ROM (stock, unrooted) and then flash one of those I mentioned.

This might be of some help, or at least clarify the issue you are having.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...n-but-chainfires-supersu-works-and-heres-why/

fyi i realized i was flashing with an older version of supersu. V1.25 to be exact. I slapped supersu v1.86 on my phone and then installed that through TWRP. Root was successful.
Reason for rooting was I wanted to install titanium backup and freeze sprint id and other bloatware apps. I also wanted to eliminate GPU throttling which i did, and I set up the scrips to stop CPU and GPU throttling while im playing games, and then click the other button to shut off the script. Im happy with its performance. Shadowgun and modern combat 4 run much more smooth since doing that.
as for a custom rom im not sure im that brave yet... i thought all the big hubbub was cyanogen. has that mod lost its step? ill look in to the one you suggested, thanks.
after looking at insertcoin im going to have to pass. Ive read that kitkat completely breaks the phone for gaming and performance becomes horribad

[Q] Help me actually get rooted please!

Followed instructions on a DIY video on YouTube as well as retried it with someone else's text version.
Phone is Unlocked
Says Tampered in Bootloader screen
Teamwin comes up if I go to recovery
Go to use ROOT CHECKER and says Not Rooted
Click on SuperSU app and says no binaries.
Any help is appreciated.

When you're in recovery, TWRP should have told you "it appears you aren't rooted, would you like to install SuperSU?" ...or something to that effect. It should then ask how you want it to be installed, and you choose the install in recovery,/TWRP...or whatever it says. DIY videos on YouTube aren't exactly going to be the most comprehensive. If you see none of the things I've mentioned, then in the HTC One xda forums, find and READ (and then read again, and maybe several more times) how to install custom recovery after unlocking bootloader.Follow the instructions to the letter.
Sent from my HTCONE

I ran into the same issue when I first attempted root on this phone. SuerUser would be installed but no luck... Root check failed...First time Ive seen this problem actually....Not sure what the problem was never really tried to figure it out.. I just flashed a rom that was rooted already and Boom root was there. If your on 4.3 just flash a 4.3 rom in Team Win that's already rooted and you should be all set.

What he said (haha I was just too lazy to go find the link, but not too lazy to write a novel encouraging you to find your own solution? I must be that kind of jackass)...sorry about that. Hope the zip works. It definitely has for me, and sometimes I've lost root because superSU updates, and then I have to let it install in recovery again. It's that whole s-on thing...

[How-To] Root and unlock the bootloader of the Nexus 4/5 without wiping data

This is a tutorial on how to root and unlock the bootloader of the nexus 4 without wiping any data!
Note: I'm not responsible for any damage on your phone! You choose to do these modifications and you are responsible for any problems!
I tested this on Android 4.4.3, but you may try it on other android versions, too. Please report if it works
Devices you can root using this app:
- Nexus 4: 4.4.3, 4.4.4
- Nexus 5, 4.4.3
1. Install the towelroot app (xda thread) from the project site! Please thank geohot, he made this possible!
2. Open the app and click on "make it ra1n"
3. Wait 15 seconds and the phone will reboot!
Congratulations! Your phone is rooted now!
4. Install either SuperSu or Superuser
a) In the app update your binary the "normal way" (without a custom recovery)
b)
1. Install BootUnlocker for nexus devices to unlock your bootloader! In the app, click "unlock" to unlock it!
2. Now you are able to install a custom recovery like TWRP or cwm
3. Boot up your system again, open SuperSu or Superuser and update the binary (using "TWRP/CWM")
This is it! You're rooted now and you can easily unlock/relock your bootloader using the BootUnlocker app without wiping any data
Note: This was not my work! I just wrote down some steps to root and unlock
How to unroot:
1. Reflash the stock recovery image/stock kernel/etc (only necessary if you are running a custom kernel/recovery/etc)
2. Open BootUnlocker and lock the bootloader. Now you are able to uninstall the app!
3. Open SuperSu -> Settings -> Full unroot. This will unroot your phone and the app will automatically be uninstalled.
4. Reboot and done

noob clarifications
Hey, came across your post in another post where you mentioned this method would prevent the posibility of the phone being wiped when unlocked + rooted via "traditional" methods using a PC w SDK etc. Phone at present is locked, unrooted stock Nexus 4 kitkat 4.4.4 stock.
Just wanted to clarify a few points since this is the first time I've come across a method where the phone is rooted and unlocked from within itself (I've rooted and unlocked a HTC desire back in my heydays).
--- Do I need to unlock the phone if I just want to change the kernel from stock to the Matr1x kernel? (I had taken unlocking as a given as it was the first step in every guide - there is no mention of steps on how to actually install the kernel but I was going to research that process once root and unlock was done successfully)
--- Any chance you can give steps on updating the binary the 'normal' way? (never done this before)
--- How do you install CWM using your method? Again, I have only seen it being installed via command lines from the PC
Apologies in advance for the dumb questions but searched and couldn't find any clear answers for those steps that I'm not understanding

1. To flash a kernel you have to unlock your bootloader, that's right. You just flash it using your PC and fastboot, there are many guides on how to do that
2. If your phone is rooted and you have SuperSU installed there'll be a popup and it'll tell you to update the binary before using the app. You are able to select the "normal" way then without a recovery
3. You can install CWM/TWRP using your PC in fastboot mode!
No problem, just ask :good:

Can the usual commandline methods for other things be used after this?

If you mean fastboot commands for example to flash another kernel/recovery/etc, yes! There's no difference between unlocking using this method or another "old" one, but this one doesn't wipe data

yes. can also be used flashify to flash recovery.img without PC

I think I'll give it a try then (assuming there's no risk of bricking my phone or doing irreversible damage). On that subject, is there an easy way to lock the bootloader and unroot?

Note: with TowelRoot v3 it isn't necessary reboot, but when I've tried to update SuperSu it fails so reboot and that's all
Thanks so much!

I apologize for asking so many questions but what exactly is "updating the binaries". Is that just for the app itself or does it do something to the phone?

It updates the superuser binary that got installed by Towelroot I guess

will this method work on the nexus 5?

Thanks, for the average user who doesn't use custom roms or anything really crazy, is super su or Superuser a better option? Or is it the same more or less? Thanks

These two are basically the same, as they are apps to manage the superuser permissions of other apps. You may use the one you like

That was easy
Of course I don't see this thread unitl after I spent the last hour setting everything up in Ubuntu to root the old fashioned way! Used this and was rooted in no time.

ota updates affected or not?
does using this towelroot will affect the ota updates i.e. if any ota update comes will i able to install as in the stock rom...?? please clarify this...

see towelroot only roots your device.
You can get OTA PROVIDED - You dont change any of the stock files.. Nothing should be changed.

[Q] SuperSU Binary issue, root help!

Hi,
I have a T-Mobile LG G Flex that used to be rooted and after android system update now it doesn't have root access. Here's the thing: I ran TowelRoot and it displayed the following message: "This device isn't supported". Afterwards I downloaded and installed StumpRoot and when I run the app it displays a message saying: "Device is rooted" but when I run the Root Checker app it tells me device has no root access.
Heres the Software Information from the device:
Android Version
4.4.2
Baseband Version
M8974A-AAAANAZM-2.0.20064
Kernel Version
3.4.0
Build Number
KOT49I.D95920s
Software Version
D95920s
Can anyone point me towards a solution for this? I made a new thread regarding this matter because even though I've seen many people post similar situations they're for other type of devices. Any help will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks,

I'd say you might have to grab the tot for the d959, flash back to stock and run the updates again, then use stump.

A lot of peep have been posting that they're not able to root the latest update with the previous methods. And also T-Mobile doesn't use a tot file. Its .kdz. But not gonna work due to the latest update doesn't have download mode. So if you're on the latest, I suggest find a root method ( try stumproot, safe root, I/o root, vroot, towel root, hell id try anything. But that's me. I don't suggest shoot blind if you don't know what you're doing) then install freedom flex get a custom recovery then make a backup and flash d'fuse's rooted KitKat and disable ota's.

Hi, so I am stuck without recovery or download mode. I know that the LG Mobile Support Tool should work but I tried it on two PCs and just as it finishes extracting the software after it downloads, the program runs into an error and closes. I am running D95920s like everyone else here. Just no luck. Any suggestions? I plugged in at 90% Not sure if im doing anything wrong.
Update: So the LG Mobile Tool has many security checks and it doesn't always allow for flashing. If anybody comes across this problem in the future. Refer to mattwheats instructions.
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-flex/general/fyi-taking-ota-rooted-twrp-t2999344
It will force your phone to flash without download mode.

su for remix not working and its diag mode (read cdma/qpst)

I know there is not much support for the remix, though it's essentially a mini 2...too. I have it s-off and unlocked. I have twrp recovery on it. The all in one utility on one of these threads didn't work well for twrp so I flashed it via fast boot. I've tried running the utility for gaining root but nothing shows up in twrp under sdcard. I have pushed it to another folder, I find it and flash the zip file but even though it says it finished fine, when I reboot nothing is there. Weak sauce2 works fine, but that's just temp. I want permanent root.
That said anyone know how to enable serial/modem communication to cdma/qpst on the remix? I've been trying forever. Im trying to backup the prl.

I had the same issue today and was able to chat with the creators of Sunshine. They are super helpful and offer great support for their product. It took me a few tries but I have root. After you flash the latest version of Chainfire's supersu HERE , you have download the app from the playstore.
Not sure if this was related but right before I did the steps above, I switch over the the Nova launcher. One of the creators told me the stock blinkfeed launcher may give issues.

How exactly did you accomplish it? Did you push su from recovery mode? I've been trying from just regular, ready to make calls, mode. Did you run a script or do it all manually? xbin or bin? I know some people like symbolic links to xbin/su within bin.

I flashed the zip I linked above in TWRP recovery. You can connect your phone to a computer or download the supersu from your phone. After it is flashed, go to the play store and download the supersu app. I thought flashing would install the app on my phone but it didn't. After installing the app, pen it and it will prompt to install the binaries. After that I had root.
I'm not sure what you meant by xbin, bin, or symbolic links. I don't deal with any of that.

OK, thanks. The Zip usually takes care of all that. I was having no success with a the zip file provided in the Windroid toolkit, so I was trying to push the same su that the toolkit downloaded to the phone and was trying it manually. I tried it with the one Weaksauce puts in the xbin folder as well temporarily. Both didn't work. I'll give this a go.
Thank you again!

Your welcome. I didn't use any of the methods you mentioned. I waited for the Sunshine 3 release to work and then tried the newest supersu zip. That did it. Now I'm waiting for a dev to port a rom to the HTC One Remix.

I'm currently working on figuring out how to port it. Doesn't look like it should be too hard, but we'll see.

I'll check back regularly. Which rom are you planning on porting. CM?

Successfully unlocked and s-off with sunshine. Then used su installer by the same guys for root yay! Now just waiting for devs to make or either port some Roms for the remix.

diag?
Was anyone able to get diag working on this phone yet?
I'm assuming after root you could use this program to get into usb settings and enable it:

But could someone confirm?
