In my 5th gen fire hd7 I tried to root using rootjunky supertool.
I don't know what went wrong during the process but the SuperSU app always says su binary needs to be updated and when I select normal it fails. I'm very much disappointed and annoyed and decided to unroot.I tried the universal unroot app but it fails .nRoot checker says root access is not proper and root explorer can't edit root files.
Is there any way to unroot without updating su binary?

Hey guys,
Long story short, I rooted using this guide (zergrush)
rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-gt-n7000method-1/
Everything went fine, it said it was successful, rebooted and seemed to work,
However, Superuser wasn't installed, so I went to the market and downloaded it.
It was missing the SU binary, so I found it online,
I'm just wondering where do I place the SU binary file?
---------------------------------------
I'm not sure if its rooted or not, as root explorer shows all the hidden system folders etc,
however if I go to the command line and type SU I get "$SU not found" not "#"
It makes sense that I'm not getting # as Superuser wasn't installed (the SU binary anyway)
So In short, how do I check for root (without using command line or another app to check for Superuser)
and second, where do I place the SU binary if I download it from the internet?
Thanks,
James
First thing Which ROM is installed on your device?(can see under setting - about phone)
Simple thing, if you dont have superuser or superSU application in drawer, you are not rooted.
When first time use SuperSU, it will ask to update binary N it will place automatically if you are rooted.
There's an app on the market/play store that will tell you if you're rooted or not. It's called Root Checker Basic. However, I had SU installed so I'm not sure if that's a factor or not.

I had my phone rooted prior to the update. Using Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, I selected Temporary Unroot and applied the update. Once the OTA finished installing, I went back to Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and selected Restore Root. However, it does not appear to have worked properly. Some of the apps that need root access work OK (Root Explorer), but others are unable to find root.
Superuser.apk was already installed, but I reinstalled it and Busy Box. Looking into Superuser settings, I saw "Su binary vnull". When I attempt to update it, I get a message stating "Failed to find currently installed su binary. Update cannot continue".
So - what do I do now?
I had a similar issue when I first updated to one of the ICS leaks. I uninstalled superuser then re-ran the root script using Jsnweitzels ICS Only Utility and that fixed it for me.

You should run root script again, like kwyrt said, plus I would recommend to install voodoo root keeper from market and protect su binary.
Thanks - root restored.
I had a similar issue and wasn't aware. Titanium Backup fixed something and Ihavent seen any issues since.
Thread has been moved from Development to General because it is a mere help request.
I have been using a rooted bluestack in windows.
But it app comes with pre rooted with SUPER USER app.
when tried to use lucky patcher, it said to install SUPERSU
so i installed from playstore and i granded root access for SUPERSU via SUPERUSER
after this, SUPERSU suggested to remove SUPERUSER. so i uninstalled via SUPERSU
problem starts aftr this. now i cant update SU binaries from SUPERSU
so now i have no root access.
PLEASE HELP
same problem
Hi,
I have a ArmA53 based SetTopBox, which has a native root adb shell and build in Google Play. I installed supersu from Google Play and ran it, it told me the binary files need to be updated. I tried to update by using the first normal way, but I failed. And I cannot use the second way by using TWRP/CMW, cause the box does not have those recovery for it.
Is there any other way to update those binary files, or I have to manually update binary files by adb? If I have to, what are the steps to do it?
Thanks a lot.
I delete the old su form /system/xbin, and replace with the new one from armv7 of UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip.
[email protected]:/system/xbin # ll su
-rwsrwxr-x root root 75348 2008-02-29 03:33 su
This one above is the new su. But supersu said that the device was not rooted after replace with this new one.
[email protected]:/system/xbin # ll su
-rwsrwxr-x root root 75340 2008-08-01 20:00 su
This one above is the old su. After restore to the old one, root is back, but supersu said that the the binariy file was needed to update.
Hi, I need your help
I have a MK903V Android TV HDMI Stick (Android 4.4.2, API Level 19). I need it to run apps requiring root without prompting for root access - which SuperSU allows.
The stick has a root shell via adb and comes with a su binary ("su --help" says "SuperSU v1.99 - Copyright (C) 2012-2014 - Chainfire"). I cannot boot a recovery like TWRP (I guess).
I've tried:
- install and run superuser.apk v1.99, says it must update su binary, fails updating su binary (normal mode)
- install and run superuser.apk v2.79, says it must update su binary, fails updating su binary (normal mode)
- install and run towelroot, says it got root, install superuser.apk (v2.79), says it must update su binary, fails updating su binary (normal mode)
- rooting via Kingo Root (PC), works including its su prompt on root apps (like the bloatware it installs), running superuser.apk, says it must update su binary, fails updating su binary (normal mode) (never prompted for root)
I found articles saying you could run the installer script from the update.zip, which is used to install SuperSU from recovery, in an adb root shell if you adapt it... I'm not so much into unix stuff / shell, so I'm pretty sure I won't do that on my own. Moving two or three files to the devices and setting chmod/chown is not a problem, but the script looks way more complicated...
Is there actually a version of the script that can run from a adb root shell?
Is there any other way I can get SuperSU on a device I already have root access to?!? Didn't think that could be so complicated...
Thx
P.S. I'd also take a su binary that just grants all access and doesn't even come with a gui
upgrade mk903v to android 5 or higher
How do i upgrade my mk903v stick to a higher version of Android. It comes with 4.4.2 kit kat. Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks
EDIT: SKIP THIS - READ NEXT
Okay, I finally rooted the device...
- Installed KingRoot APK (v5.0.4) from https://kingroot.net/
- Ran KingRoot which did its suspicious magic on the device for more than 15min
- Installed SuperSU and granted it root
- Ran the root.sh script attached which basically kills and removes KingRoot and lets SuperSu replace su binary
- Ran SuperSU again and successfully updated su binary
It is the only solution I found so far...
Sometimes the web just confuses me...
Found this:
http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-support/rk3288-devices/17987-new-3288-ez-root-tool
Simple and clean "update.zip" [MD5:7a2755fd5ebe8a2928fc01a4ab0cbabb]
Copy to internal or external sdcard and just reboot or wait for the system popup that says that a new firmware update was found. Update will be applied and device got proper (but old) SuperSU installed.
After that, you may just install the latest SuperSU. (is there a reason why the latest APK is not available on http://www.supersu.com/download#apk ??)
