Hey guys,
I'm having an issue with rooting my HTC - I followed all of the steps on multiple guides with no luck. Here's the breakdown:
I have successfully unlocked the bootloader
I have tried flashing both the TWRP and the CWM ROMs
I have used the http://androidsu.com/superuser/ site on my phone to get the Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip file
I tried installing said file using both TWRP and CWM, both did not work
When booting into the OS and running Root Checker, it says "Sorry! This device does not have proper root access."
In the youtube video linked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173863 many comments are from users describing the same issue I'm having, though searches on google and on the XDA forums have found nothing that has worked. At this point, I am not sure where to proceed.
Right now I am running Android Version 4.4.2 with HTC Sense version 5.5, and the HTC SDK API level is 5.68. I suspect that my android version is the problem, but before I go delving into how to downgrade, I wanted to check to see if anyone has any advice. Hopefully someone has come across this before, but if not, at least there'll be a searchable record of the problem for other users.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone is able to provide.

After the phone has TWRP/CWM successfully installed, there will be a SuperSU app installed on the phone. Just open that app and follow the procedures. That should successfully root your device. The zip which you've mentioned didn't work on my One either

Thanks for your response,
I just checked my phone, and I don't seem to have SuperSU installed, just the Superuser app that is from the .zip. Should I uninstall the .zip, and will that make the SuperSU app appear?
Edit: So, I just tried clearing the fastboot cache and reflashing CWM, after disabling Superuser to see if it would reinstall its own app, with no luck.
To clarify, there is no procedure that pops up in the Superuser app, so that's why I tried to get the ROM's app to load. I also cannot find a way to just uninstall the .zip, and I'm not about to go deleting files without guidance. Out of curiosity, when the zip didn't work for your One, what steps did you take?

That one didn't work, I suspect it's because I have another copy of Superuser on this phone, but I'm no expert. I'm going to try the SuperSU that mb_guy suggested, maybe a different SU program will help. thanks for sticking with this. XD
this one worked, thanks so much!
it's weird, no matter how many times and ways I searched for SuperSU on google, I wouldn't ever get a link to the actual file. Maybe I just didn't put in the right keywords. Anyways, thanks for your assistance, and thanks to raghav kapur as well.
To anyone else having this problem: mb_guy's file worked for me, however it may not be the same for everybody. If you followed the XDA forum guide I linked in the OP, then chances are this fix will work, but if you followed any other guide, it may be worth it to give raghav kapur's .zip a try to see if that fixes it for you.
This is driving me nuts... I was on 5.1.1 and I am trying to get it rooted.
I'm following a guide which goes like this..
1. downgrade to kitkat 4.4 using flashtool
2. root 4.4
3. Install custom recovery
4. Flash 5.1.1 pre-rooted zip
I have had problem after problem and I think something may have screwed up along the way.
I finally managed to get kitkat installed using flashtool and a generic C6903 .108 ftf.
Problem 1... I used 'Easy Root tool' from xda to root kitkat... but it seemed to hang at the cleaning up' stage - is this a problem?
Problem 2... every time I restart my phone - kitkat asks what language etc. Whats that all about?
PROBLEM 3. The guide Im following says to install busybox after rooting kitkat.
I've tried 2 different busybox installers and both of them fail when trying to install bb.
QUESTION: Are these 3 problems linked and will it prevent me from continuing with the guide I am trying to follow??? i.e. do I need busybox to install XZ Dual Recovery and therefore a pre-rooted zip?
Root Checker basic says kitkat is rooted, as does the first busybox installer.
I'm taking a short break from this nightmare, so in the meentime if any of you chaps could advise me on whether or not its ok to continue or if I have fecked up the whole process, that would be great.
Thanks in advance
problem 1 : re run the installer again, don't use administrator mode
problem2 : use any simcard on your phone
others, sorry i have no idea, you could download busybox from playstore ?
I would just start over and try a different root program. busybox is failing to install because the root didn't work.

Problem1... thank you, I'll try again
Problem2... Thanks. I thought It could be the lack of a SIM card and then I thought no! that can't be it lol... as usual - I was wrong ha
others... yeah mate, tried 2 different installers from play store - no joy with either.
Thanks for your help

Cheers bud, I'll try 'easy root tool' once more without admin priv, if its the same story I'll start over and try a different root tool. Any suggestions on that?
Also: how come root checker says I'm all good and rooted but busybox wont install? even one of the busybox installers says "Your device is rooted"!?!?
Thanks for all the help mate
i think you don't have supersu installed, and busy box couldn't get root rights
so download supersu from playstore, open it and update binaries as normal, then reboot
and you would be able to install bb

Try the suggestion made by @Gamer4Life, just in case you somehow got root but it failed to install the APK needed to manage it. Might save you some work. That would explain why everything thinks you're rooted.
As for an alternative, if you still need it, I think I used kingroot successfully on 4.4.4.

Thanks mate. I was hoping Gamer4life might be right as there was no Supersu installed.
I installed supersu from play store no problem... but when I try to update binaries it says' update failed. Please reboot and try again.'. tried reboot but same story.
I guess I'll try 'easy root tool' again and then will give kingroot a bash if needbe.
One last pre-emptive question...
If I root kitkat using kingroot... should I replace kinguser with supersu before proceeding with XZDR and a pre-rooted zip or will kinguser be sufficient to continue.
Many thanks to you and everyone else who has tried to help me with this clusterf*ck,.. I appreciate it
can you screenshot the error you got ?
i reread your op, you don't need busybox to install dual recovery, it installs like the easy root installer, very easy
just one click and you are ready to go
also xzdualrecovery will root your device and install supersu by default if you have kitkat, so you can skip that.
edit (i don't think this will work because towelroot doesn't work on z1 4.4.4 108)

must have been a glitch in the matrix mate becuase its now working (Possibly thanks to your suggestion of installing Supersu?).
I reconnected to PC in order to give 'easy root tool' another crack at it.
As soon as I start install.bat It says checking if device is rooted AND I get a superuser request on my phone for adb.shell - Happy days!
I granted root access to adb shell and the root tool says Job Done. Root success etc.
So I disconnect and try to update su binaries and it worked first go!!!
*Touch wood* I think I'm now past the tricky part and it should be plain sailing from here on in. lol
THANKS for the help Gamer4Life, and everyone else who has chipped in.... hopefully my next post will be to report a fully rooted 5.1.1 :fingers-crossed:

** DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A DEVELOPER. I DO THIS AS A HOBBY AND SHARE MY FINDINGS IN CASE SOMEONE ELSE FINDS THEM USEFUL. **
** THIS WORKED ON MY DEVICE BUT IT MAY NOT WORK ON YOURS. APPLY AT YOUR OWN RISK **What we gonna need :
USB Cable
Rooted LG Leon
Necessary files , Can be found on the end of this guide.
First of all , if you don't have a rooted phone follow this Guide to Downgrade and this Guide to root!
DO NOT TRY XPOSED WITHOUT HAVING ROOTED LEON! So , let's start! First of all make a backup and then continue, if you don't want just skip this step.
Procedure :
Install these apps before we install xposed. App #1 , App #2 , App #3
After you did that , Open Busybox and do the latest updates. Go to the end of this guide and download the .rar file.We gonna work with that now.
Extract it, take the 3 files (without the folder) and send em to the Internal Storage of the phone. NOT IN THE SDCARD!
After that , open Terminal emulator. Type
Code:
Su
Give root privileges to Terminal and then type
Code:
sh /storage/sdcard0/installer.bin
.
After that some Spanish stuff will appear, " 1 SI and 2 NO " Press 1 and then Enter.After that many letters are there, and eventually it will say "Fin de la instalacion".When it's over , open the System Cotroll and clean dalvik cache then reboot.
Wait till the load of apps, go to Storage again and install the xposed .apk . Do a soft-reboot then.
That's all folks! Download link is bellow!
Please do not mirror my links!
Mega
If you need help or something like that reply me, I'm glad for helping you ! Cheeeers!
thanks!
I can confirm its working on my device (H340N)
Cheers!

Gravitybox is fully working on our device?
I didn't search the full program. so ain't sure yet. Xstana is working fine for our phone!
Thank you for uploading it to the thread. After a little travel I'm doing, I'll install it and report.
I don't want to be off-topic, but I coudn't find any answer yet: Is there any way to flash TWRP without unlocking bootloader? I couldn't. It is not actually flashed.
Yay, no problem about that file
No you can't flash a TWRP without unlocking the bootloader. Only the people who have Android 5.1.1 could flash a TWRP! (MetroPCS Version MS345)
Why do i need USB cable
