Can't Remove Superuser to Reroot

Just flashed Sinless ROM and although it came with SuperSU by chainfire. I decided I wanted to remove it and install superuser by clockworkmod instead. For some reason superuser app didn't actually root the system, so I attempted to uninstall it and reinstall SuperSU. This is where I'm stuck. I cannot remove superuser app no matter what I try, even deleting it with a file manager or disabling the app. Anyone have any ideas? Really need my root back. Thanks

If it's in /system, you need root to remove it (which you don't have). I suggest going into recovery and then flashing Superuser with the SU binaries that allows root to work.

Tried this and that is what I am attempting to remove from the system to no avail. Anything else I can try? I don't know why it won't give superuser access either.

So flashing that zip didn't flash the SU binaries either?
Try flashing this then: http://download.chainfire.eu/382/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip
The main important thing is to get the SU binaries installed to allow the superuser apps to work. Once you have that installed try to change superuser apps again (do not choose the full remove option as that will also remove the SU binaries).
Another option is to try flash the ROM again.

[Magisk/Root/Xposed/Busybox]Huawei P9 Lite

-This methode is old but working with emui 4 Android MM (6). Not work with Android N (7).
-Xposed not work in systemless mode if your Android security patch is >= november 2016
-Try to search the last version of zip files and apk on google, the version on this tutorial is old.
Hi!
This tutorial will install Magisk, phh's superuser, xposed and busybox on your Huawei P9 lite device!
Tested on a VNS-L31C432B151 version but normally work on all VNS-L31 and VNS-L21.
Magisk will allow you to "hide" the root... not realy just hide because Magisk and phh's superuser systemless edition create the root outside the system folder!
Magisk feature for common user:
-"hide" root (PokémonGo, Androidpay, banking app, ... all work!) work with
-Magisk not only allow you to replace existing file and directories, but also support adding new files and directories into system!
-Update OTA work! (not tested by me)
For more detail visite this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/mod-magisk-v1-universal-systemless-t3432382
Phh's superuser work at 100% on this device
After a lot of Xposed version tested I can say that Xposed systemless edition is by far the best for P9 lite!
DONT install busybox on system folder!
Ok let's go:
1 Update your system on last emui version and swipe data/factory reset to get a clean and untouched device!
2 Unlock your bootloader (see multiple method on this forum)
3 Install TWRP 3.0.2.0 (see multiple method on this forum)
4 Download this files: Magisk V6.zip / phh's superuser 17.zip / xposed-v86.5-sdk23-topjohnwu.zip / Magisk Manager.apk / XposedInstaller_by_dvdandroid.apk. Put all this files on your externalSD.
5 Go to TWRP recovery and flash in order [Magiskv6.zip > phh's_superuser.zip > Xposed-v.86.5.zip] also reboot your device.
6 When you are on the homescreen go reboot again.
7 Install Magisk Manager.apk and XposedInstaller.apk, then go to the playstore download and install Phh's SuperUser app AND Busybox meefik. Reboot after this step.
8 Open your setting app and allow permission SD card to Busybox.
9 Open Busybox >> settings. Remplace the path file /system/xbin/ with /data/busybox/ and check "Remplace Applets". Also go Menu Zip Archive and download this zip.
10 Go on TWRP recovery and flash the busybox zip file.
10 please perform 3 or 4 reboot
DONE!
So, please try to open yours setting app. if it appears you have done! If not, please try again this method
Now, go Magisk Manager (app) and switch root togle off, launch your protected against root app and normally work!
(Dont need reboot between switch root off/on!)(Selinux switch work, but not persist a boot)
Have fun!

Well done. Works perfect.

TWRP with this [RECOVERY]Revolution Recovery Android Nougat {15-12-16} Beta .9 in Nougat but anything I tried to flash failed.

Is there anything one can do to get Pokémon Go working while having all of these installed?

Hey, man I've tested it on my Huawei P9-LITE B370 and it all works perfectly. To flash Magisk, you need this custom recovery (https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/development/twrp-t3588356)

this really helped me thanks

Helped me alot. Still, post is a bit old, so what I did on b380 version:
FLASH RECOVERY twrp-3.1.1-0-venus.img
FLASH KERNEL Elite+Kernel+for+P9+Lite+CxxB3xx+v10.1.zip
ROOT with Magisk-v13.0(96f8efc).zip
INSTALL busybox archive via recovery to /sbin (for me it installed on /system/xbin, still ok.)
REBOOT after each step
Finally works ! :good:

is this Magisk work on Huawei P9?

I have Emui 5.0 and Android 7.0. I flashed everything except xposed but I still can't use Pokémon Go or Snapchat. Is it beacause i can't flash xposed? And when yes, how can I fix it?

How to make Magisk v7 work with chainfire SuperSU 2.65?

I am a HTC M9 user and due to some sepolicy issue(perhaps) in latest stable SuperSU (2.78), I can only use 2.65 to prevent a bootloop problem currently.
According to the information in Magisk v6 known issue, issue in sepolicy-injection tool is known and will be fixed in v7. In v7 sticky, it does use own sepolicy-injection tool, I assume it does fix something now.
But, according to the information in v7 sticky:
Code:
Installation Instructions
(NOTE: I don't feel comfortable to redistribute SuperSU unless I have explicit permission, so for now, if you want to use SuperSU with Magisk, you are required to have systemless SuperSU installed before flashing Magisk. Magisk will detect SuperSU installation and automatically convert systemless SuperSU into a Magisk Module, using the files that are already installed to your boot image. System installed SuperSU is obviously not supported, since it is not systemless. Actually, it is a trivial task to add official Magisk support to a SuperSU zip package, however the decision is not in my hands.)
If you're rooted with Official Systemless SuperSU, or using Magisk v3+ with Magisk version of phh's superuser
Install the latest Magisk Manager
Install/upgrade Magisk as prompted in the application
Reboot and you're done!!
If you're not rooted, rooted with the depreciated Magisk Version of SuperSU, using Magisk version older than v3, or you got issues when flashing in Magisk Manager (some devices requires Magisk to be flashed in recovery to find boot image location)
(If you have Magisk installed) Flash Magisk Uninstaller to get a clean start
Download the latest Magisk zip file
Download the latest Magisk Version phh superuser from this thread:
[Magisk] [2016.10.4] phh's SuperUser
Flash both zips in custom recovery
Install the latest Magisk Manager for a complete Magisk experience
Since I've donated on SuperSU Pro, I'd prefer to make it work in higher priority, therefore 2nd method is not in my consideration now. If I start from a brand new phone (RUUed device with fresh TWRP recovery only), there's 3 ways I tried to apply Magisk v7, here's the process and result:
1. Flash SuperSU 2.65, and the system should count as "If you're rooted with Official Systemless SuperSU" state.
=> Update SuperSU 2.65 to 2.78 with SuperSU own update process in apk, reboot required, SUCCESS.
=> Install latest MagiskManager, SUCCESS
=> MagiskManager got SuperSU authorized, SUCCESS (root still working at moment)
=> MagiskManager found latest version (v7) and suggest to install it, accept and reboot, SUCCESS(boot successfully)
=> Open SuperSU apk, FAILED (root lost, not able to find su binary)
2. Flash SuperSU 2.65 and then follow by Magisk v7 zip
=> Root does't work, cannot find su binary, FAILED
3. Flash SuperSU 2.78 and then follow by Magisk v7 zip (assuming Magisk V7 will repatch the kernel with fixed tools and the boot loop can be fixed)
=> Bootloop, FAILED
Is there anyone success in any configuration on HTC M9?

Am using an honor 7 PLK-L01 with MM build B370.
Also tried the first method you described with SuperSU 2.62, difference being that magisk manager could not install v7 zip so flashed it manually. It said something about
Insufficient storage for boot image
and kind of aborted.
Since then flashing SuperSU says seplocy failed and aborts.
Tried flashing a new boot and rooting, still the same.
Flashed boot and Cust, the same error both with magisk and SuperSU.
Cleared dalvik and cache, still the same.
Tried the magisk uninstaller, no success...
Would appreciate a solution.

bump, says installing su helper, then there is no root upon boot. supersu cant find binary and magisk manager crashes due to no root

Had to flash system, boot and Cust to root again using SuperSU.
Otherwise it was failing and flashing only boot did not cut the deal.

I have the same issue. Could not get SuperSU 2.65 running with Magisk.

Magisk ver 6 works well but have to have that zip and it's corresponding apk I guess 1.2 that is.
Used it a couple of days ways back just to make sure it works.

An update that it works after Magisk v8, although there's no information about it.
(Flash SuperSu v2.65 -> Update to SuperSU v2.78 with Google Play -> update su binary to v2.78 with SuperSU -> install Magisk Manager v2.1 -> Install Magisk v8 with Manager -> done!)

SU Binary occupied

I have a problem when I go to open SuperSU tells me: SU Binary occupied, so it does not allow me to properly use the magisk manager.
I followed the guide for huawei, I did everything step by step, but nothing has ever given me this message.
How do I fix it?

Same here

I had this 2 but managed to fix it wat version of supersu are u using wat version of magisk r u using also

Since Magisk v13, there's no longer any compatibility for SuperSU. If you've flashed Magisk you're rooted with MagiskSU and that's why SuperSU is complaining about the binary being occupied.
You're unfortunately going to have to choose one or the other.

Hi! Had your same problem today with my Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ze500kl. Solved by following the exact steps of this guide, but instead of downloading and installing the suggested SuperSu zip file I found this older SuperSu version, downloaded the zip file, placed it in the internal storage and followed the exact steps of the guide. (For good measure, I did all the steps in the guide again).
Once you reboot your phone, you will be able to update the SuperSu app form the PlayStore to get the latest version. Should work just fine.

[HELP] Magisk SuperSU Not installed and no binary >> VTR-L09

Hi everyone. So like the title says I finally got my P10 running EMUI 9.0.1.186 and got the pie version of Resurection Remix installed and working smoothly. So now I am trying to get root back which is annoying because currently there is no TWRP for EMUI 9+. So I followed the tutorials on installing magisk without custom recovery using the recovery_ramdisk partition which I finally did get figured out.
What I did:
I downloaded stock firmware (Exact same version as the one installed on my phone) and then extracted the RECOVERY_RAMDIS file and transffered it to my phone, then in Magisk Manager I installed and selected the option to edit a file. Selected the RAMDIS file and then transffered the file back to computer. I did the fastboot flash of recovery_ramdisk and then reboot my phone and it says installed on both Magisk and Magisk Manager. Safetynet check all green aswell. Basically everything that should be green is. I then installed directly because it gives you that option now and after booting the phone again I tried some root required apps but nothing was asking for root permission and I cant use the apps. In the Supersu section of Magisk Manager there are no apps coming up to allow me to enable supersu for the app or not. I can install Modules though and that does work as I tested it by downloading and installing the busybox static module. I then went to root checker pro and did a check and it says busybox is installed correctly. When I do the check for root status it comes back as follows:
Feedback Mode: Install Root
Issue: Not installed superuser app and su binary, and unable to access root user account.
Feedback: Locate a guide for root installation on a Kirin Treble device.
Stage 1 - Superuser App: Not Installed
NOT installed: SuperSU by chainfire, Superuser by ChainsDD, or Superuser by Koush
Stage 2 Superuser Binary Files: Not Installed

Command: ls-l /sbin/su
Result: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2019-12-29 13:49 /sbin/su-> ./magisk
Version: 20.1:MAGISKSU
Analysis:
The rest of the Alternative Locations came back as "does not exist"
Stage 3 - Root User Account Error
Error: Timeout of 27 seconds on 2 attempts
Optional - ADB Shell User
Status: Checked /default.prop for ro.secure setting: No world/other read access to fault.prop
Additional - SELinux

Please help me figure out why I dont have full root access, Thankyou very much!
(I would also like to note that I did try uninstalling by just restoring the partitions via Magisk Manager Uninstall option and then reinstalling and this time not using the direct install feature and nothing changed)
