Hi, I need someone's opinion on this.
I have an unlocked and rooted HTC One, and in recent time I get this "superuser request" for the phone app. I get it every day, and every day I set it to prompt me again in "15 minutes" but it prompts me once every day. Today I unchecked the option to ask me again and denied the request, in the pictures attached, you can see the request and "message" I get after denying. In the third one you can see what message I get when I try to enter SuperSU app. If i try to update it says that the update has failed and that I reboot my phone and try again, but that doesnt work. Please tell me what is this?!

I also experienced this issue where "phone" is requesting SU access. Never figured out why, but I denied access and not experienced any issue. Looks like some process is trying to change permission to read/write to /sys/ (chmod 666 /sys). When you have a doubt about something requesting SU, always deny access.

You only need to update your SU binaries. Update it using twrp/cwm method, not the "normal" method.

Well, I have reflashed my stock recovery back, guess I have to go to custom again
Hello all,
I'm in Lollipop 5.01 with a Nexus 6 XT 1103 32GB
Rooted with Stock Recovery, I did not do any changes on recovery or ROM, I'm in stock.
Free version of SuperSU by Chainfire V2.40 installed.
Busybox 1.22.1 version
I've been experiencing an issue when the Super User Screen window prompts whether I want to give access to any application for instance
Lucky Patcher or Light Flow
It appears the Super User window above any application that I have opened and to ask if I want to give permission to certain application that requires root and does not respond to any input, then it passes all the seconds time limit to respond then it dissapears, but it doesn't work at all anything on the screen when that SU window appears.
Any solution to make it work as before? I don't know that application caused this issue or a change.
Thanks
Go into the SuperSU app and grant it permission manually.

Yes, already did that, but have you experienced the same problem that I have?

Yeah it can be annoying. Its happened to me before at least once for all of my root apps. I think its just s bug, usually a reboot and manual change of granting permissions works.

This is The explanation about our problem, and indeed i used lux or an App called like that
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
I decided to go ahead & root my S6 using the PingPong Root found here.
All went correctly, but when I go to open SuperSU I get the error 'There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!'
Any ideas on how to go about installing the binary needed? Thank you!

You are not rooted then. Try again.

Uninstalled both SuperSU & PingPong Root. Reinstalled and had got the same error as before.
This method is in beta, could the binary not be uploaded yet?

What happens when you run get root on pingpong? Sounds like it's not rooting you. Either 1) you did not open supersu before you ran get root on ping pong. Or 2) it failed to get root (either it tells you failed or it reboots automatically due to kernel panic). If your not getting a pop up saying root was successful, reboot now is recommended, then your not rooted.

I don't get that pop up. But my device does reboot.
I tried opening SuperSU prior to PingPong, but it only has the original error 'no binary'. After you press okay, it prompts you to installing SuperSU once again? Odd... Once you install the 'new version' and open that, it'll automatically open PingPong. From there I select 'Download data' then 'Get Root!'. Which then tells me to wait with a popup, and that is when my S6 reboots.
Ok. Now leaving supersu and pingpong installed, reopen pingpong, cancel the install of supersu. Place the phone on a flat surface. Try just 'get root' again. Sometimes background processes can flip out when pingpong panics the kernel to elevate it's privlages. It's taken me 4 or 5 tries a few times I've used pingpong (others only 1 time, I've had to Odin my S6 about 30 times so far lol)

Thanks for the prompt response Dennis!
I opened PingPong, canceled the install of SuperSU, then selected 'Get Root!'. Says my device is not supported (Though it is in the thread for PingPong). I select download data, (Says Device updated, please try Get Root again.) then I select get root. Unfortunately it reboots my S6 after about 2-4 seconds. I'll keep trying!
Aye, do the same steps I said, but add the download data before get root. Try to do it after everything settles from boot but before starting anything else.

Will do! If this doesn't work after a few dozen tries I may just have to wait for a more stable release, eh?

That reminds me, what version are you using? Beta 6 or a different one?

Beta 6
Edit* Uninstalled both applications, and installed the 5.1 beta. When I select download data, it says to retry the Get Root as usual. Then I select Get Root, and it says 'Your device data is still not supported'.
Here's the quote from Idler in the thread. With option C. he says to possible do a factory reset? I have all of my contacts & photos backed up via my pc. Should I possible try and do a reset? Or do you think it's a waste of time.
Q: It just keeps rebooting, what can I do?
A: The exploit may panic the kernel and reboot your device. If the data is off, same could happen as well. When issue happens, try these:
a. Clean up background process before running root.
b. Turn on airplane mode after clicking "Download Data".
c. Backup your data and run factory reset.
d. Definitely avoid doing anything else when "wait!!!" appears.
If these doesn't help after 5 retries, there could be some issue, please collect the information in /proc/last_kmsg and send it to me.
Note: User reporting installing My Knox or enable other Knox feature (like enterprise provision or KNOX active protection) may cause reboot loop. Be cautious!

Ok beta 5.1 does not have hot data then. What is your device? Check settings>about device>baseband
Also from the Q&A in pingpong root thread:

Alright. Best bet. Is reboot. Let settle. Set screen timeout to 10 mins. Turn off all apps you have running in the background. Open pingpong. Download data. Turn on airplane mode. Place on desk. Run root. Don't touch until hopefully it says your rooted. Of course you'll need to I stall beta 6 again before you do the above.
If trying that 5 times doesn't work you'll have to head over to the pingpong thread cause I'm fresh out of ideas lol.

Haha, no worries! I will give that a go.
Yay or nay towards a reset? I have a feeling I'll go through the hassle of resetting my phone & I'll have the same error.
Back up with smart switch. Reset but do not download any app but pongpong. That should help with the error, as it's cause by apps in the background running usually. After root restore via smart switch. All your apps come back, just not the app data unfortunately

Dennis, you are a legend! Finally got my S6 rooted after 2 long days.
Decided to go ahead and backup everything on my phone and do a complete factory reset. I did like you had said and only installed PingPong. Booted up the application, got a shut down like I did previously. Tried again, but closed all my running apps and when I was prompted to install SuperSU (even though it was installed when I ran it the first time) I went ahead and installed it once again. And voila, the root went successfully!
:highfive:

Glad to hear, now you just have to restore all your apps and stuff. I'd suggest titanium backup, back everything up and transfer to your computer. That way if you ever have to Odin you have all your apps set up and such for when you reroot after. Store them off the phone as Odin will wipe your phone completely usually.

How do i root my s6 been trying for weeks
I have downloaded kingroot and have used it to remove some system apps. Because it is a temporary root, I have to reroot it every once in a while. One time, after being rooted, it began spamming the screen with error messages that the play store and other apps stopped running. I rebooted the phone and the root and the problem were gone. I tried to root again and I had the same problem. This time when I tried to restart the phone, I had to put it in that mode where you hold the power and volume down buttons and restart the bootloader and then power down and then power up. For now I have deleted the kingroot app, but there are still files that won't go away. How can I get rid of these? Also what suggestions do you have if I decide that I want to pay for sunshine in the future? What app should I use instead to get to where I can use sunshine?

See the post I made on your other thread for instructions on how to remove Kingroot.
The latest version of Sunshine requires no other apps to unlock the Turbo.
