found a new exploit without a computer apk file well ok i root mt lg L90 41520b/C/E with KINGROOT.apk WEBSITE IS KINGROOT.NET
actually it helped me a lot.
later i used a script to switch kinguser to supersu
I gave up on waiting for a root method from a more trustable source and used Kingroot despite of not trusting on a chinese app. Immediately after, I used the script to remove, uninstall and replace kinguser (and the others apps that come along such as purify) to supersu.
This is currently the only available option to root the updated Lollipop on D410hn (V20b). On V20a PurpleDrake script still works.
What scripts did you use? Any recommendation?
How can I find the Kingsport apk? Thanks for helping I am total list my phone has a build on it that my whole file system is screwed up.

can i manually update the SU ? i used AndRoot to root my g1 and i was able to "root" it but i noticed that i didn't get SuperUser along with it so i've tried googling several solutions to come up with one where i can download it from the market.
i downloaded from the market and there was an update for it. after pressing okay after a request to update the SU, a toast came up saying it had successfully update it but it didn't update because i could not get permission from my root apps. oddly, i can access root apps but there wasn't a pop up asking for permission..
So in other words everything works just fine? You just want to have the actual application for SuperUser?
You can always try to download the APK and use that instead of your current SU.
I'm unsure if the superuser application is universal, or specific to device, but it's worth a shot.

Hi,
I have the lg optimus l90.
I used the towelroot app to root the phone. i used a terminal app to verify that i do have root. when the app opened, it displayed a $ sign but when i typed "su" and pressed enter it gave me a "#" prompt. so am i rooted?
also i was told to install the superSU app. why do i need this? can't i just uninstall the bloatware right now since i am rooted?
I installed the superSU app but it was not able to install the su binary because i did not reboot the phone after using towelroot. I uninstalled the SuperSU app. anyhow, what do I need to do now to remove those bloatware apps. there is no option to uninstall in the apps section of the android settings application.
finally, I read somewhere that i should use nobloat app to uninstall the bloatware but it is not uninstalling the bloatware. I uninstalled it.
so what do I do now?
any help would be much appreciated.
thanks.
Superuser is needed for apps to have root rights to your phone. Install superuser. Reboot phone and open app. Reboot again if needed. Rooting is useless without superuser installed

Along with root and SuperSU, you will also need a root App manager or root file manager. I personally prefer to use ES File Explorer as it is both an application manager ( user and system ) as well as an awesome file manager.
There is no list of acceptable system apps to remove. So be very careful as to what you uninstall or you may endup with a soft bricked phone or one that spazzes out whenever it feels like it. I would recommend making backups of any app you want to remove before uninstalling it. At least you might be able to restore them if something goes wrong.

thank you both for the replies.
so what exactly is SuperSU for? when I opened it up I saw nothing in the apps list and I did not see anything else in the other lists within the app. also, I did not restart the phone before trying to update the su files and when I did restart the phone nothing updated. So, do I use something like ES file explorer to remove bloatware?
by the way, when I tried to surf the web after installing superSU app, the web browser was extremely slow. the webpages loaded very slowly but when after I uninstalled the superSU app, it was loading the pages fast again as normal. what's up with that?
thanks.

SuperSU is a binary executable that grants or denies superuser requests. Without it root is worthless.
You won't see anything in SuperSU permission list until an app asks for superuser permissions. When first opening the SuperSU app you should get prompted to update/install the su binary. Allow that action to happen.

That's because the su binary was never updated.

so in order to run something like the nobloat app I need to grant it permission to be a superuser? I never had to do anything like that when I ran the nobloat app and It actually worked. It still does not make sense to me what supersu is used for.
That's because the su binary was never updated.

I ran the towelroot app and it was successful. However, I did not reboot the phone before attempting to update the su binary and the superSU app said i should restart before updating. I restarted the phone but it never updated the su binary when I ran the superSU app again. What do I do now?
thanks.
With the coming of the great Google Android 7 it seems there is no more system mode supersu support (currently). Leaving us Nougat fans to use system-less mode... which I just cant stand... Most root apps wont work with system-less and you have to flash a ton of system-less zips to get certain apks to work. My question is will there ever be system root for Nougat; or maybe there already is and I am an idiot?! And if not; is that in the works?
Thanks in advance!
Perhaps it would be better if those apps were updated to support systemless root. Also which apps are you having trouble with?
ES File Explorer for one :/
I had my phone rooted and all working fine on Nougat. I then tried installing secure settings for Tasker and since around this time, i've lost root and if i try flashing super su in TWRP, each time i boot and check i'm not rooted. If i open Super Su app it tells me that the framework needs to be updated and to reboot, i do this and it just keeps telling me the same.
The only thing i am thinking may have broken this is i found a guide to get Secure Settings working on nougat where someone suggested creating a folder with root file explorer called 'su' in system/bin. Now when i open up Titanium Backup it tells me it could not acquire root and say the attempt was made using the "/system/bin/su" command which im thinking means it's looking somewhere there is an empty folder?
I cant now of course delete the system/bin/su folder i created as i cant enable root in File Explorer so i'm pretty stuck and not sure what i can do. I've tried the cleanup and full unroot in the supersu app and then flashing supersu in twrp again but still says no root when i check
Any suggestions?

This post was a bit more informative than your "my device unrooted itself" post in the stable thread.
Dirty flash your system or use the file manager in TWRP to remove the offending folder.
I was thinking of trying that but fixed it a different way as I just posted in the SuperSU thread. But in case anyone else ever has this problem...
I fixed my issue. By disabling SuperSU and enabling again from the app settings and it gave me root. I then deleted a created su folder in system/bin that I manually created earlier when trying to get secure settings working.
Hi All,
First post here so be nice
I rooted my Nexus 9 yesterday and everything appears to have gone through successfully - I ran the Root Checker app which also confirmed "Root access is properly installed on this device!". I also have SuperSU installed and functioning.
However, when I try to run apps like System App remover to remove unwanted bloatware, the uninstall fails and I am told I do not have root access. I have granted this app super user permissions in SuperSU too.
Has anyone else had this problem or knows how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!!

Just a friendly suggestion/recommendation to help you locate a solution for your issue since I don't have that device.
Good Luck!

Hey,
Thanks for the super-fast response. So I used the Nexus Root Toolkit and everything went through successfully however, I am still finding the same problem.
Root Checker confirms that the device is rooted but when I try to use some apps to remove unwanted bloatware, I am told that I don't have root access and that the uninstall has failed (yes I did grant the apps super user privileges with SuperSU)
Hmm.
