just updated kingroot and ran it, got root! I couldn't beleave it. checked titanium back up, root was there.
checked root explorer, root was there.
downloaded root checker pro and again root was confirmed!
installed busybox, all good. and super user, couldn't update the binary? (looks like kingroot has its own version of SU and doesn't need anything else)
when I reboot, I lost root, and ran kingroot again, took 3 times to root, but did it. checked everything again, all showed root.
I was able to run TB and backup my apps. I also uninstalled some bloatware.
but every time I reboot, it losses root, and have to run kingroot again.
how can I retain root? but there should be some way to retain the root? I'm guessing it has something to do with where the su files were installed.......Anyone?
how can I install TWRP? OK so I can't install TWRP cause the bootloader is still locked (duhh!)
any help greatly appreciated!
thanks
has anyone else with ATT version been able to rootn with the newest kingroot 4.8.1 ?

thanks in advance

Hi there,
I have a ATT S5.
I had the NDA version (before the ND3 OTA). I followed the galaxys5root.com instructions. I downloaded towelroot, and ran it. Then I installed safestrap, supersu, and titanium backup. (Flashed the dedoxed s5 rom) Titanium backup read that I had root rights.
Today, my phone is showing I have no root rights. I'm also getting the SuperSU binary error.
Do I have to reroot my phone? Whats going on?
Thanks!
edit - should i just rerun towelroot?
SOLVED: Reinstall towelroot.
Quick info: I installed towelroot, then custom rom'd phone. Then I had no towelroot on it, in other words, no root! (LOL)
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

Can you then install SuperSu or do you need to keep the SuperSume?
Anyone else confirm this method ?

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.

It does not appear to work on T707a with 5.0.2.
Maybe ashyx could help.
What exactly didn't work for you ?

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 ?
Hello everyone,
I'm having an issue - I wasn't able to flash the newest extracted firmware in the development section so I went ahead and just ran the full RUU. I've been running custom roms for years and I decided that maybe I just wanted to run stock rooted for a while so I unlocked my bootloader again, flashed the most recent TWRP and installed the most recent SuperSU zip.
Unfortunately it does not seem to have rooted my phone. SuperSU is indeed installed in the system folder and it prompts for root permission when I use root apps, but even when I grant permission the apps cannot obtain root access. What happens is it looks like they are going to get root access, the phone slows down a bit for a second, and then I get an error message from the app in question saying that either my phone isn't rooted or that root permission has been denied. If I open SuperSU, it lists all of my root apps with the green hashtag indicating that permission is granted.
Am I correct in assuming that installing SuperSU did not root my phone? If so, is there a way to root without installing a custom rom?
For clarification, this is all on the most recent RUU, software version 6.23.651..10, Lollipop 5.0.2
Thanks in advance.
Which version of SuperSU are you flashing?

Well I'm a dolt, I was using v1.69 but now I see that is a very old version. Going to try 2.46 right now, thanks.
Edit: Same issue on 2.46 :/
For anyone still looking at this thread, I was able to achieve root by flashing the newest SuperSU, version 2.52 which is actually still in beta and therefore not offered if you go to the main portion of the SuperSU website.
SuperSU v2.65 is the current stable offering

Hey,
I have Note 5 SM-N920C MM 6.0.1
Lost my root today after 4 week of that I using it (apps like "Titanium backup" and "Uninstall" doesn't work)
when you get into SuperSU I get the flowing massage
"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upgraded to Android 5.0 [***ANY ANDROID VERSION***] , you need to manually re-root. [OK]"
I try to install SuperSU from google play again and I run into the exact same situation as before.
Checked it with Root Checker "sorry root access is not properly installed on the device"
Tried to re-root it with Kingo root (for the 1st time) getting "Root Failed"
If you have any ideas what to do I would be happy for your ideas
(I pretty new to it, it's my 1st android device had iPhone 2/4/4s/5 before )
Happened to me today as well. Xposed claimed there is a module update (although the only module I had is lucky patcher, and that wasn't updated). After a reboot, I lost root access and custom recovery...
Happened to me since a week ago... Anyone has any fix available for this?? Please help..
I have same issue
I was trying to re-root:
Flash stock system.img (june security update)
Flash stock boot.img (june security update)
Flash supersu
Flash elementalX
No profit ☹
I’m using:
twrp-2.8.6.0-shamu
ElementalX-N6-3.16
Systemless supersu 2.74 ( on I have 2.65 same issue)

You need to root
Frist flash recovery custom example TWRP next flash file zip application su 2.74-2 in TWRP ...
This happened to me too. I followed the procedure New Root Method For 5.1.1 w/o custom kernel. It worked for 3 weeks, and then without warning root was gone. Exactly same behavior as OP.
I Flashed SuperSU again from TWRP recovery, and have root again. But I want to understand why this happened so I can prevent it. I don't get OTA updates, and automatic updates are disabled. What could "break" the systemless root without causing a request I would have to allow? I have three applications enabled for root in SuperSU Pro: Adblock Plus, EX FIle Explorer Pro, and Titanium Backup.
Hey,
I have the same pb with GN4 6.01
i fix it with super su 2.68 with twrp-3.0.2-0-trltexx.img, clean dalvik cache et cache
reboot
open su and go update binarie on google play. (update 2.76 stable)
Test du su avec ESexplorer
It 's work

I lost root as well! Im on note 5 6.0.1. I had been doing fine until I flashed the nexus launcher. The launcher flashed properly but lost root after that. Ive tried to re-root again and I cant because 1. I lost TWRP! 2. My pc wont read my phone even though I installed and unistalled the samsung drivers over and over. When I install the drivers it initially works but once I turn my phone off it wont work again! Anyone know how to fix it!?
I recently used the "New Root Method For 5.1.1 w/o custom kernel" to root my otherwise stock Note4 SM-N910T.
Everything was fine, but after a few weeks I lost root. I was able to get it back by re-flashing SuperSU 2.65 from recovery.
After further research, I found the blog post by Chainfire on SuperSU 2.74, and understand that 2.74 addresses the Samsung security update.
I've been using "SuperSU 2.65 Stable" because of root access compatibility issues with some programs.
How do I know if the Security Policy update was the cause of losing root? My phone's About Device has "Android Security Patch level" as 2015-11-01. So it doesn't look like something that was updated in the last week.
If it was not the security policy, then what caused the loss of root?
I have automatic updates off, and did not update anything at the time I lost root. Is there any other way that an update or change can be pushed? My /data/security/spota folder is empty. Should I delete the empty folder just to be sure?
I guess because you upgraded the system root cause failure，you need to flash supersu.zip again ，can retrieve root

Here's a summary of the problem:
1) FlashSuperSU from recovery.
2) Enjoy Root
3) 1 to 3 weeks later - something disables SuperSU, and root is lost
4) Go to 1)
I want to understand what is happening in 3) so I can exit this annoying loop.

This has only happened once? Interestingly, I had the same exact issue happen to me on my S5 with MM, I rooted using chainfire and just out of the blue, all root privelages were dismissed. So I flashed SuperSU v2.65. It happened multiple occasions until I was able to switch to an AOSP ROM. After going completely custom it seemed to have stop doing this. Maybe because of a contrast of coding that differ in security.
Sent from my SM-G900P using XDA-Developers mobile app
It has happened twice. I'm working on a Tasker recipe that will check for root regularly and report when it is lost.
Now it has happened three times. Still trying to figure out what causes it. I have not found a tasker function that checks for root.
Unless I can find a solution, I guess I'll have to go back to the traditional root with beastmode kernel.

Nobody seems to have any idea what's going on. I'm guessing the loss of root was specific to SuperSU 2.65.
Here what I've tried today:
1) Recovery / Flash with SuperSU 2.65 to get root back.
2) Update SuperSU Pro to 2.76 from Google Store. Download and copy ZIP to phone storage just in case.
3) reboot and verify root still available from Titanium Backup
4) Uninstall ES File Explorer Pro. Install Solid Explorer
5) Test root access of Solid Explorer. It works. Buy Solid Explorer.
6) reboot again just to be sure root remains
7) Backup with TB.
So far, everything is working. Hopefully it will remain rooted.
Almost 3 weeks, and no loss of root. Super SU 2.76 seems to fix the problem.
J500G lost root minutes after connected to internet. I have to root every single day.
