For me, I solved the issue by flashing the beta SuperSU from Chainfire's site.

I used SuperSu-Me by forum member gatesjunior. $3.99 in the Play Store.
Kingroot has its own superuser app and will unroot your phone if you uninstall it.
SuperSU-Me freezes Kingroot, installs SuperSU, then installs Kingroot while keeping root.

[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

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!

Works good you need to use the updated SuperSU and it's good to roll. I'm on NC9 should work with the newest one also.here is the link to both supersu http://download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip and towelroot http://towelroot.com/

Confirming that tr works on NE3 (I537). I am (was?) completely stock before installing towelroot.
So I install towelroot, reboot, then install super user via google play? Correct? Any known issues so far?

towelroot installs superuser and it's an old one.so what I did was install Safestrap and flashed SuperSU through the stock slot and am up to date.

Download, open folder, open "common" file, click superuser.apk icon and install. This is good for those who don't want to install SafeStrap.

Towelroot Working
Yes I just did mine and it works. I'm having trouble with Super SU. Message comes up to disable KNOX. It's been trying to disable for 30 minutes. Not sure if there's a newer version of Super SU or maybe AT&T put a tougher version of KNOX in the update but seems to be stuck "disabling".
Update: I went back to home screen then a few minutes later started Super SU, got the prompt to disable KNOX and this time it worked.

Lost root after latest supersu update

Curious to see if anyone else has lost root after the latest supersu update? Rebooting did not change anything. I'm unable to use any root apps (xposed, root explorer, etc).
Any ideas?
Thx!

You should tell is if you are using a root exploit (and which one), what android version you are on, and whether or not you are BL-Unlocked.
I can tell you that my unlocked devices had no issues updating SuperSU, and root apps still work fine.
(I'm guessing you are locked since your signature says "Status 0")....but please confirm.

Oh, great! So problem solved, or are you seeking a solution to work with the most recent SuperSU?
I would rather use supersu, but so long as super user from click clockworkmod works, its all the sane for me.
Thx for the reply though.
I had to uninstall supersu, install super user, attempt to install it, reboot, make sure have root access via root explorer, install xposed, install adaway, soft reboot.

[Q] Su Binary not updating, want to replace kinguser with super su..

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. I need a way to replace kinguser with superuser and update binaries in SuperSU,without using a PC . SuperSU always says that installation failed and it has detected other apps which may cause conflict. Please help

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.

Root stock Lollipop 5.0.2 with Kingroot & Super-Sume .......no tripping Knox

SM-T700 UK version stock 5.0.2
1. Root using Kingroot 4.5
2. ONLY now !!! install and run Super-Sume
3. Update SuperSu binaries
That's all : you have root, SuperSu and Knox still "O" and Kingroot it's gone...
Would people please post the full build version of the firmware they have success or failure with, so others are aware of which ones work.
has this method been verified by other users?
Share your experience please!
It's brand new...
Verified by myself
Have you maintained root after reboot?
ashyx said:
Already tried it, v4.5 is posted in my kingroot thread, didn't work on lollipop for t805.
Neither did supersu me, binary always fails to update, once it did manage after several tries, but root is lost after reboot.
Supersu me is just the same script as posted in the kingroot thread. Root always lost after reboot.

Just following your thread, messing with Kingroot 4.5 (from your tread) I obtained root.
Also someone there suggesting SuperSume to remove Kingroot.
I use it and that's it
Yes the root it's permanent

Super_Sume make all this "work" with one click !
Ok guys, thanks for confirming, Sweet
Thanks for the tip. This worked perfectly. I installed Kingroot 4.5. When Kingroot runs scroll down and press "Try it" and it rooted. I then immediately installed Busybox from the Google Play store and ran the smart installer. After a successful install of Busybox, I then installed Super-Sume from the Play store. I ran Super-Sume and it installed Super SU and removed Kingroot. After that, I opened Super SU and allowed it to update the binary. Rebooted. I checked root with Root Checker app and checked Knox with an app called Knox Status on the Play store. Root is still active and Knox is still at "0". I powered off, then restarted again. Root has stayed.
I did this on a brand new US region SM-T700 pulled straight from the box and updated to Lolilipop from OTA.
System Version:
SM-T700
LRX22G.T700XXU1BOE3
*ROOT WORKING !! SMT-700 OTA 'lollipop'
Confirmed working on Lollipop NEE-T805XXU1BOE3 firmware.
Reflashed back to complete stock then ran Kingroot v4.5, root succeeded first time.
Ran Supersu me to remove Kingroot and install Supersu then updated the su binary.
Rebooted then checked root status. Full root access still available.
No need to install busybox as Supersu me already installs busy box.
Looks like we have a winner, no need to downgrade to Kitkat any more. :good:
Hopefully now T807/707 users can now get root.
Credits go to the devs of Kingroot, Chainfire and Supersu me.

Do you think this is likely to work for KitKat ANL1? I already downgraded as part of Ashyx's tutorial to ANF7.
My only reservation to going to Lollipop is that I want to use the Xposed framework which I think is still in it's infancy for 5.x or still not compatible.
So before this my options are to keep the original Kitkat by Flashfire - ANL1 or go directly to Lollipop. For the latter I could just get the OTA and do this method now. But not sure if I go to ANL1 kingroot will work as easily
If not I'll continue in the normal way I guess.
Once you have root with Kingroot install Super Sume and run it.
Kingroot 4.5 from ashyxs tread works for me.
Super-Sume just install busybox, SuperSu and get rid of Kingroot.
Why not use Flashfire to install whatever you want: KK or L ?
