I rooted my XT890 which is on 4.0.4. I don't know what it's called that I used to root it with and I don't have the same exact download link but it's the only one on the internet that doesn't require you to flash anything.
So I ran that and I thought I had my phone rooted. The major problem is that most apps that require root privileges don't work. The only root app that works is busybox. On other ones, the superuser permission prompt will pop up and will I press "allow". Then, it will say "[whatever program] has been granted superuser permissions". After that, whatever superuser requiring app I'm using will go to an error the same way it would on a completely stock un-rooted phone.
Will buying superuser elite fix it?
Will un-rooting and re-rooting by flashing a homemade fastboot fix it? If so, how do I un-root?
Can anybody help?
Did you solve your problem?

Hi, obviously we had a similar problem (
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42529975#post42529975) and I am not sure about how to tackle the problem. Did you find a solution for your rooting problem? If yes I am curious how you solved it.
Cheers

Nope I never figured it out.
It seems that most superuser apps aren't compatible with x86 Android unless the developers have specifically taken steps to solve it. Since RAZR i users make up an incredibly small amount of android users, almost no one bothers to make their root apps work.

That link above will install you cwm if you don't already have it then with that you can flash either the RAZR I Root or RAZR I Root 2 .zip... It just depends which one is for your ROM and I didn't link because I couldn't find it or have it bookmarked anymore but if you find it and flash it through cwm it will definitely work

Hi Guys,
I am totally newbie here. I just got my Sony Xperia V, I found a thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277334
And then, in the post by imk82, he said he must do a backup first with Sony's backup app before he finally able to root Sony Xperia V with Bin4ry method with no problem in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41457358&postcount=2861
But I have no idea what does he mean by "Sony's Backup-app".
Someone could tell me more specific about it?
Is it App in Google Play or is it PC Companion?
And why is it related?
Thanks.
Furthermore, there seems 2 options to root Xperia V
If you look at the source of the script, you will see...
echo 1) Normal
echo 2) Special (for example: Sony Tablet S, Medion Lifetab)
echo 3) New Xperia Root by Goroh_kun (Xperia Z, Xperia V [JellyBean] ...)
echo G) Google Glass Mode (thx Saurik for the ab file)
Seems either 1 or 3 can be chosen to root Xperia V, but what's the different? I couldn't find the info anywhere
a backup is not essential.
I have never heard of rooting destroying any files. (*But that is no gurentee)
You need option 3 for jellbean

Hi thanks for reply.
I finally found the guide here (hxxp://talk.sonymobile.com/message/398680#398680), it's quite simple
I copy paste the guide here :
How to root Xperia T and Xperia V ( 9.1.A.1.140 )
Go to settings > Security > Mark "Unknown sources"
Settings > Developer options > Mark USB debugging
Download the Rooting Toolkit > Link 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 and extract it. Run it and select Normal Mode , press enter. Now connect your phone, follow the on-screen instructions it shows.

Hi, since I use my xperia in German I'm not sure about English menu. But try like this:
There should be an app already installed at your xperia. Called Backup & Restore (or similar) - the icon is round and looks a little bit like a door of a safe / vault, colors are mostly white and some red. Start this app and follow instructions.
Hope it helps you.

I tried the method Bin4ry gave, but the root was not working well, for example when I run Titanium Backup it's asking for permissions thousands times.
Then I installed BusyBox from the market, and after that rooted with this method - Motochopper, it installs SuperSU, and then the applications ask the SuperSU for permissions only once and its working fine now.
You can safely delete the Superuser and BusyBox Free after that, only SuperSU is needed.
I am not sure though which I did first, the Motochoper root or the BusyBox installer.

I mean I rooted it with the Bin4ry method first, it was rooted, but the Superuser required permissions everytime multiple times and didn't remembered. So with the Motochopper it installed SuperSU instead of Superuser and it's working fine with it.

Recently i was unable to root and with the help of xda people answer i was able to,ty a lot for ur help,
now i am rooted and on firmware 14.1.G.1.534 IN version as i found using china firmware disables my camera.
now i rooted via Vroot and currently facing problem that is the superuser has got inbuilt process kill which kills almost all my mod at reboot.i am really not liking this features as after many try even my touch pro is still being killed and i am using Xposed module - ultimate dynamic Navbar,which too is being killed which is a creates a real mess. plz tell me a way to disable this superuser feature.
Next thing which is next firmware available which i could apply without loosing root access,and plz tell me is an INDIA firmware available to it as china firmware creates a problem for me.
Thx in advance....
Super user is not the cause of your problems. What else have you installed?
Also, if you don't like the Chinese FW use one of the other firwares that is posted in the mega collection.
You can gain root on any FW ending in .534 That is the latest one with root
wierd problem
others apps are same that i had before,super user has system optimization which i want to stop,as when i optimize it ,it kills all the apps running even if it is in notification...so its bit troubling.I will even try to post all the current aps i am using soon as possible for ur convinince.
i have got fw ending with .534 that to in version which me rooted on current ,my question is can i upgrade to new one which supports root access.Ty
I see, you have the Chinese super user app.
Best to download kingo root in your pc and re root with that.
It will put an English language super user so on your phone and your problems will be gone
Sent from my C6903 using xda premium
If you used vroot / 360root and want to replace the Chinese SuperUser with the English SuperSU, you can do the following:
1. Install SuperSU via Play Store
2. Start the app and you will be prompted to update SuperSU binaries
3. Go to SuperSU settings and choose "Switch superuser app"
4. Reboot
5. Once phone starts up, immediately go to Play Store and install SuperSU again
6. Start the app and you will be prompted to update SuperSU binaries
7. Done!
Hopefully, replacing with the English SuperSU will solve your problems.
still the issue exists

Hi!
I have rooted SGSA and update the SuperSU app from Google Play.
I see in options that there is an option "install supersu into /system"
Is unchecked from default.
What it does?? (i search Internet but i didn't find any information...)
It is good to check it? or it isn't necessary?
Thank you.

Yes but what is the meaning to make SuperSU a system app??

Its mean that supersu will install like other system apps and cannot uninstall unless you revert back that setting or delete using file browser or titanium backup

2. Need to remove it from system/app folder
3. Does not mean anything to it functionality
beware
I accidentally ran the script that installed SuperSu in a protected mode and made it a system app. Since then, I can no longer flash CM11 on S3 SGH-i747. Recovery after the install asks if I want to fix root, yes-no....not matter what I answer, the rom just reverts back to stock so beware.

If I choose it will it stabilize the system so when I reboot it will keep root?
I had it all set up rooted and SuperSu and went to back it up so I could just use twrp recovery and restore it and still be rooted and just like it is after rooting and all.
I made the back up and did the required reboot and when it finished I lost root.
Will this work?

On Galaxy S Advance I9070? Check if you have USB debugging ON (when you said you lost root). This will not make it more stable, SuperSU.apk is just a GUI for controling root. And you root with SU file that is pushed to system (can't remember what folder exacly).

I had it rooted with Kingroot.
As far as I know that's the only way for this model of device.
Then using MrW0lf's method I replaced and removed Kinguser for SuperSU.
I was still rooted.
I wanted to make a backup so when using restore I could retain root and SuperSU in my system.
The setting of choosing to make SuperSU a system app in stead of as it is, I thought would make it possible to keep root.
I have used restore while having root with Kinguser and kept root.
I am not understanding why I loose root when restoring while having SuperSU.

I do not thing that moving SuperSu to System partition would help you. Main file that enables root permissions are not in that apk, you can install SuperSu from the Play store. That is not the problem.

Hi everyone! Yesterday I updated my new Sony E1 phone (D2005) to the latest firmware 20.1.A.2.19 with KitKat 4.4.2, and tried to root it with Root Genius 2.2.6: it worked! I just had to install first the ADB drivers shipped with FlashTool and then used Root Genius to root the device. It was as simple as that! I'd like to know if it was just me being lucky or this procedure can be applied to every E1.
Hello Atanor7,
thank you for information. I'll try this asap.
Do you flash a new rom or upgraded from previous one?
Did you remove Genius after boot? Don't install Genius too much bloatwares?
I upgraded from stock firmware via PC Companion (the phone is brand new, purchased yesterday, 70 euros!), then used Genius to root. It's a Windows program, so you have to install nothing on your device, just the ADB drivers on your PC (I used a VM to install so bloatware wasn't an issue for me). After rooting, Genius automatically installs Kinguser to manage root permissions.

As boatware, I spoke about Kinguser, supposed to be replaced by Supersu
another question: do you kept your settings after upgrade (apps, screens, sms, calls, wifi points, bt devices, ...)?
I can't tell you about that, the phone was new so didn't have any personalization yet, the only settings I made (WiFi, couple of apps) were kept.
Do you think I should replace Kinguser with SuperSU?
Ok, after reading about how KingUser could be a "tricky" app I switched to SuperSU: the "SuperSU-me" app from the store did the job quick and flawlessly. Thank you for your advice

Install this app from the Play Store: "Super-Sume" and run it. Hit the button and... it does it all, wipes Kinguser and replaces it with SuperSU, works like a charm!
Thank you for your advice Atanor7, I think I am late for that since I tried to use Super-Sume to replace Kinguser app but it didn't work on my case.
It's good to know that it worked on yours because next time if I reflash my phone I will try to use Super-Sume again.
in my case, I went for old fashion root after unsuccessful attempts on using Super-Sume, I flashed 20.1.A.29 then flashed back the kernel and root with towelroot then flashed back 20.1.A.29 kernel after rooted.
