Context: I recently bought a new car (VW Golf 2009 mark 6) and I want to connect my HTC One via bluetooth, but the bluetooth module in the car says phone not compatible.
I found that the BT module in my car wouldn't work with stock phone, but that I could install RSAP for Android if I rooted my phone.
I unlocked my bootloader using the instructions on the root section for the HTC One on here
I then progressed to trying to root my phone after watching the subsequent vid
I have flashed the device with both TWRP and Clockwork Mod
I have Super User installed, does that not mean I'm rooted?
When I use root checker basic, it just says "Sorry! This device does not have proper root access." Any ideas why I'm blocked at this point?
It also seems to mean I can't install the rsap for android.
The same happens when I use Clockwork Mod, I have installed super user, but I still can't install rsap. The error message when I try to do so says:
Installation failed. sync mount -o rw,remount -t ext4/dev/block/mmcblk0p35/system failed/system/bin/su[1]: syntax error:'('unexpected
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance
try a different app that needs root access eg titanium backup, goomanager or rom manager. if neither works you probably did something wrong by rooting. also check your super user or supersu app in drawer
there is an app, root checker (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en) try that.

Hi Prash,
I have already tried that app, root checker basic, it just says "Sorry! This device does not have proper root access."

Hi there,
I Installed SuperSU 2.36 using TWRP (following the process in Nexus Root Toolkit app) and it looks fine but when I'm trying to run some app with root permisions like XMODgames or GameKiller the root permission screen appear and I select Allow (Permitir) but when the app is trying to run some game it say No Root access... I saw the register into Supersu (even I bought the Pro Version) and it show error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported...
I verified the root permission with Root Checker App and it looks fine as rooted... even I tried successfully to re-install Supersu and update the binary and everything looks fine but all the app's that are asking root permission (and I already granted) does not work. the register show the same error message about PIE on each app...
I have a Nexus 7 (wifi 2013) with 5.0 LRX21P compilation...
Could you please help me to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
Those app are not supporting Lollipop yet. Contact their developers, this is not fault of SuperSU.

Could someone please point me at instructions on how to root LN14.
I've searched the HD/HD+ forums for 'root LN14' and 'rooting LN14' and got no results (which by itself is suspicious).
have you enabled Developer Options?
I, for one, had no luck with either SuperSu or addon su. The first would put the HD+ into a permanent boot loop necessitating a re-install from scratch,and the latter would install but the unit still indicated it was not rooted. Doing the Dev Op made no difference. A real mystery!

The file addonsu-14.1-arm.zip in the main folder is the one to use. As I seem to recall, you might have to enable, disable, then re-enable, in order for root access to take effect.

That is the one I flashed using 3.0.1.0 TWRP. Not clear on your second sentence: "...enable, disable,, then re-enable...". Forgive me for being lost as to what you physically/specifically mean. Please explain.
Thanks.

I meant "enable, disable,, then re-enable" the root access option in "Developer Options".
Aha! Will give it a go. Thanks.

Okay: I d/l three android root checkers and titanium backup. The first root checker (Clivin Inc. with small green android robot graphic) told me I was not rooted both before following your above instructions and after. The other two (d/l after following the above) both say I am rooted. However, I was not and am still not able to get "TB" to run. It says "failed" and that I am not rooted.
Since the HD+ is running really well now in its stripped down mode, I can "leave well enough alone" or try to get "TB" working so I can remove anything not needed for my chosen minimal functionality (ereader, viewing videos, photo review/minor editing) that would further reduce unnecessary battery drain.
Thanks again for the above clarification and any additional thoughts.
I am having this same problem
- Root options *do* appear in my Developer settings, but no amount of toggling on/off/on seems to enable root
- I have flashed the Lineage SU addon, log shows successful in TWRP but no change after boot
- SuperSU from Play Store says "SU Binary occupied"
- Adaway says "Rooted Android required- Either the su binary could not be found or you did not allow root permission for Adaway" ie I believe I am indeed *not* rooted.
- SuperSU flashable zip is a broken link on their website.... http://www.supersu.com/download
Out of ideas here, anyone got anything else I can try?
Edit: I was able to obtain Root properly by flashing Magisk & installing the Magisk Manager APK from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
You got it. Use Magisk. Works wonders and way better than SuperSU or any other root permission tool I've came across. It's even akin to, and even has within it, xposed and other magical rooted modules for you to try out for a day or two and then decide you don't need it.

So I have a Le S3 x626, trying to play Fortnite but I don't pass the safety net apparently.
Never rooted I did try to get twrp but soft bricked my device twice so I gave up however when checking whether I was rooted or not one app said that the device wasn't properly rooted and another app said no root found. I checked busybox as well and it says that busybox is installed.
Is there a way to remove all root & busybox related files and folders without actually rooting or installing TWRP?
Thanks in advance!
Hello everyone,
I am facing an issue and will be eternally grateful if someone helped me with it. I recently lost some very important audio recordings from my phone. These are very important and I want to run a data recovery tool to help retrieve them but all such tools require root access. I then rooted my phone using magisk and checked the status via those root check apps and they show the status as rooted. However, the problem is that none of the data recovery tools recognize the root and hence cannot run a scan. Perhaps I am overlooking something here. Model of my phone is SM-N920I. I flashed the magisk via twrp and have also installed the Magisk manager. Everything is up to date. Again, when I check the root status of my phone via the app "Root checker basic" it says "Root access is properly installed". Also, when I am using the data recovery tool i.e. Fonelab my phone does not prompt me for root access. Nothing is shown on the screen.
I am sorry if this thread is in the wrong section. Mods can feel free to move it or notify me. Thanks
If other root apps are functioning properly it's an issue with the app you're trying to use. You should contact the developers of the apps in question...
