how to remove SuperSu installer app

Hello guys,
I had rooted my One and unlocked the bootloader but then for 4.2.2 i have relocked the bootloader and also unrooted it and also installed the stovk recovery.
But after flashing the stock rom i see the SuperSU installer app in the notification bar, app drawer and in system apps also!
down below are some pics!
I want to remove that app but without root
please can anyone tell me what to do??

have u find a solution
have u find out how to remove supersu installer?

same here
have you found a solution?
Please don't tell me you have to unlock the bootloader, again to do this...

The Less-Than-Obvious Solution
This was an initially annoying catch 22. You need to flash to go back to an unlocked stock, and then TWRP places the SuperSU installer on your freshly-returned-to-stock phone! NO! :crying:
The less-than-obvious solution is to actually install SuperSU, and then go into SuperSU settings and choose "Full Unroot". This removes all traces of the phone being rooted, and the phone also remains locked and without the tamper flag set. :silly:
I hope that helps you guys in the future, considering I'm kind of late to the party.

Ive removed supersu from the phone with 'Full Unroot' option but on factory reset it asks to install again.

1- Please don't double post, just get's everybody confused
2- if it's popping back up after a reboot, then you probably have a stock kernel (ie with write protection), and that will revert any changes to /system after a reboot.

To change the Superuser app simply go to the playstore and install a one of your liking like Superuser or SuperSU. Once you have the one of your liking install System App Remover and remove the old one. It's as simple as that.
To unroot you need to use flashtool to flash stock ftf to your phone or do a repair via PC Companion or SUS.

Tried to reroot using Kingo as well, but didn't work. So I followed these steps to replace the Chinese SuperUser with the English SuperSU:

tried this method but didn´t work, i've installed a new one(superuser) and uninstalled the chinese one and the apps that need root didn't find the superuser app. so i've uninstalled superuser and installed SuperSu but when updating the binaries an error appears.
So, after all of this, i've tried to root again with Kingo and it works like a charm!

It's a bit of hit and miss with Kingo. Yesterday I tried 5 times and kept getting the script error. Tried again this morning and it worked...

how did you install 360root ?
It asks for a chinese os, and mine is in english

Just download and install towelroot.
Click on the 'Make it rain' button, then install SuperSU from playstore.

Thank you for reply
I also tried towelroot. Nothing changed, the phone restart without being rooted

Which version of stock ROM are you using?
This should work fine on stock .205 or .207
Try this apk.

At first you cant see any change. Check root by an app like rootchecker.

My stock room version is 12.1.A.1.205
I used an app called Root checker Basic.
the result is: sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device

I have shut down the device from the button at the back then used tr.apk., It is rooted now
Sorry for any disturbance
Thank you

Same thing. It just tells me something about KNOX, then I try to remove it and it says "Installation Failed! Please reboot and try again. Same thing happens when I say not to remove it. About ready to just give up on rooting and go back to 5.0

When you phone boots up, does it show a unlocked padlock? When you put towelroot on it and click to "make it rain" does it say "You should now have root, no reboot required" or " This phone isn't currently supported"? Uninstall Supersu restart phone and install Supersu again. It shouldn't be giving you any problem as this is the only baseband that can be rooted.

It does show an unlocked padlock. It does say "You should now have root, no reboot required". Uninstalling SuperSU rebooting and installing again did not work.

Sounds like it's Supersu giving you a problem. This is an older one but still should work. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952593963

Can you go into Supersu? If you can then go into Supersu settings and do Full unroot and reboot and try towelroot again.

Kingo root https://www.kingoapp.com/ Just click to root again. (mine say N9005 because mine has a custom rom on it).

[SOLVED] Safe to continue?? or start again? please help

This is driving me nuts... I was on 5.1.1 and I am trying to get it rooted.
I'm following a guide which goes like this..
1. downgrade to kitkat 4.4 using flashtool
2. root 4.4
3. Install custom recovery
4. Flash 5.1.1 pre-rooted zip
I have had problem after problem and I think something may have screwed up along the way.
I finally managed to get kitkat installed using flashtool and a generic C6903 .108 ftf.
Problem 1... I used 'Easy Root tool' from xda to root kitkat... but it seemed to hang at the cleaning up' stage - is this a problem?
Problem 2... every time I restart my phone - kitkat asks what language etc. Whats that all about?
PROBLEM 3. The guide Im following says to install busybox after rooting kitkat.
I've tried 2 different busybox installers and both of them fail when trying to install bb.
QUESTION: Are these 3 problems linked and will it prevent me from continuing with the guide I am trying to follow??? i.e. do I need busybox to install XZ Dual Recovery and therefore a pre-rooted zip?
Root Checker basic says kitkat is rooted, as does the first busybox installer.
I'm taking a short break from this nightmare, so in the meentime if any of you chaps could advise me on whether or not its ok to continue or if I have fecked up the whole process, that would be great.
Thanks in advance

problem 1 : re run the installer again, don't use administrator mode
problem2 : use any simcard on your phone
others, sorry i have no idea, you could download busybox from playstore ?

I would just start over and try a different root program. busybox is failing to install because the root didn't work.

Problem1... thank you, I'll try again
Problem2... Thanks. I thought It could be the lack of a SIM card and then I thought no! that can't be it lol... as usual - I was wrong ha
others... yeah mate, tried 2 different installers from play store - no joy with either.
Thanks for your help

Cheers bud, I'll try 'easy root tool' once more without admin priv, if its the same story I'll start over and try a different root tool. Any suggestions on that?
Also: how come root checker says I'm all good and rooted but busybox wont install? even one of the busybox installers says "Your device is rooted"!?!?
Thanks for all the help mate

i think you don't have supersu installed, and busy box couldn't get root rights
so download supersu from playstore, open it and update binaries as normal, then reboot
and you would be able to install bb

Try the suggestion made by @Gamer4Life, just in case you somehow got root but it failed to install the APK needed to manage it. Might save you some work. That would explain why everything thinks you're rooted.
As for an alternative, if you still need it, I think I used kingroot successfully on 4.4.4.

Thanks mate. I was hoping Gamer4life might be right as there was no Supersu installed.
I installed supersu from play store no problem... but when I try to update binaries it says' update failed. Please reboot and try again.'. tried reboot but same story.
I guess I'll try 'easy root tool' again and then will give kingroot a bash if needbe.
One last pre-emptive question...
If I root kitkat using kingroot... should I replace kinguser with supersu before proceeding with XZDR and a pre-rooted zip or will kinguser be sufficient to continue.
Many thanks to you and everyone else who has tried to help me with this clusterf*ck,.. I appreciate it

can you screenshot the error you got ?
i reread your op, you don't need busybox to install dual recovery, it installs like the easy root installer, very easy
just one click and you are ready to go
also xzdualrecovery will root your device and install supersu by default if you have kitkat, so you can skip that.
edit (i don't think this will work because towelroot doesn't work on z1 4.4.4 108)

must have been a glitch in the matrix mate becuase its now working (Possibly thanks to your suggestion of installing Supersu?).
I reconnected to PC in order to give 'easy root tool' another crack at it.
As soon as I start install.bat It says checking if device is rooted AND I get a superuser request on my phone for adb.shell - Happy days!
I granted root access to adb shell and the root tool says Job Done. Root success etc.
So I disconnect and try to update su binaries and it worked first go!!!
*Touch wood* I think I'm now past the tricky part and it should be plain sailing from here on in. lol
THANKS for the help Gamer4Life, and everyone else who has chipped in.... hopefully my next post will be to report a fully rooted 5.1.1 :fingers-crossed:
