[Q] Root Moto X CM12 - Moto X Q&A

Having some issues on CM12 with superuser and root access. Any suggestions?

May be you need to flash superuser from recovery, go for the latest version of superuser for XT1052

SuperSU should be built into the build. However, sometimes the binaries are old. Install SuperSU from play store open it and see if it promote you to update binaries. If so update binaries then uninstall the play store version.

[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.

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!

Help with Root/Superuser (vroot 172)

Hi,
After finally getting the 257 OTA pushed on my network, before downloading I rooted using Vroot 172. I then updated to 257.
Root works fine, I downloaded Root Checker on Play to check. CPUz also says Root is on.
I then got SuperSU, installed binaries using the normal method. The Chinese superuser gives root access to SuperSU and it installed the binaries fine.
I then disabled the Chinese superuser (it has a bunch of task manager stuff that I don't want and I can't read Chinese anyway ) but SuperSU stops working.
It wants to install binaries everytime I open it but fails if the Chinese superuser is disabled.
Is there a way to get SuperSU to work correctly and keep the Chinese superuser disabled?
Thanks.

I am using a Sony tablet s 4.0.1 which I rooted with kingroot and I now have kinguser. I want to replace it with superuser, and I have tried many ways but none worked.

Anyone use kingroot got this problem. So sad. I'm waiting for someone can fix.
Did you try to flash SuperSU 2.49beta already? That one worked for me after rooting with KingUser.
Download the 2.49 SuperSu flashable zip, then go into the recovery of your choice and flash it. Then boot the phone and go to Kinguser and then the settings and click on Root Permission and disable it. Then reboot and go to SuperSu and install binaries and you're good to go.

SuperSu 2.46 on Nexus 4 5.1.1

I recently upgraded my Nexus 4 to 5.1.1
Thus I wanted to re-add SuperSu. Problem is that after flashing I can't click any buttons in the SuperSu popup.
I can just allow any root request and they work but I the apps that request do not get added anymore.
So I tried to uninstall it and flash another root app.
I got one that showed the installed su binaries and it told me, even after uninstalling it, I still have SuperSu 2.45.
Whats even stranger: I flashed SuperSu 2.46? Why does it say 2.45.
It seems the binaries do not get replaced.
How do I purge the binaries for a fresh start, maybe with other binaries?

Metro PCS LG L70 (LGMS323) can't update binaries

I rooted my phone using KingRoot. but when I try SuperSu Me it takes KingRoot away however despite using the updated google play store SuperSU from chainfire it can't update the binaries at all. One time it said there wasn't any installed and couldn't install any. I haven't unlocked my boot loader or recovery because I don't have a computer. Any help?
Edit: I'm running stock 4.4.2 using the latest Google play store version.
I have tried to use both update methods, despite not having a custom recovery. When using the normal method I just get installation failed and an okay an a reboot option. Ive tried rebooting but it doesn't help. I can't seem to use supersu me to transfer root control to super su. I also DO have Xposed installed but Im not sure if that's the cause. I do regularly use it. I may try to uninstall and I'll post an update on that.
