Problem while updating SU binary in Mi4

Hi,

I've installed SuperSU Free v2.46 on my rooted Mi4 phone recently and when I open the SuperSU app it asks me to update the SU binary. While doing so using the normal mode (not through TWRP/CWM), it is failing to install the update even after rebooting and retrying.

My device details are below:

MIUI version: 6.5.3.0 (KXDMICD | Stable)

Android version: 4.4.4 KTU84P

Please help.

Also, let me know the entire process if this needs to be updated via TWRP/CWM.

Thanks.

This one probably need a hand of mod, if he/she didn't cover-up and do something. I've never reported, but everything has the first time.
[SuperSU] The Robman:
Hi folks, first time poster here. I've never hacked my device (a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013) before and the only reason I started is because something got corrupted and the device would just hang on the logo screen, and we got the "E: failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)" if we rebooted to recovery.

So, I installed the Philz Touch CWM and SuperSU and have got things working again, but there is no Lock Screen and there is a block of hardware info overlaying the home screen. Further research found the following thread which explains how to fix that:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40101443&postcount=3

However, I still have a problem and this is why I am resorting to a post for help, rather than continuing to try and fix it myself (I have been working on this for 4 days straight). When I fire up the ADB SHELL and try to enter the SU command, it says that it's not found, and I don't know how to activate it.

I used Root Checker to verify that I have root access, SuperSU is installed and working and I can boot to CWM mode easily enough.

Any ideas?
[SuperSU] NeoLogY:
Do you install busybox?
[SuperSU] The Robman:
I hadn't but just did. I see from the busybox wiki that the SU command is included, so I rebooted to CWM mode and fired up the ADB shell but it still says the SU command is not found.
[SuperSU] The Robman:
Never mind, I don't need the SU command anymore as I found another way to get the tablet out of factory mode...

You need to root it again...

As SU binaries are not present in device, nothing can be done by app...
[SuperSU] fuzzynco:
[fixed] Using the SuperSU package that installs via recovery fixed it

.

I looked at what it does (the script) it appears to do cleanup of partial

install fragments and then do a full install. After installing that package

I rebooted into normal android and run SuperSU and was prompted to

update the su binary. after that I reboot again and everything worked

as expected.
[SuperSU] Joaquim Almeida:
Solved my problem...

I also had the problem of not being able to update the binary.

I did manage to solve by doing these steps:

-Download h t t p s : / / download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip - since I'm new XDA doesn't let me write URLs, remove the spaces...

-In SuperSU program > Definitions > In "Cleaning" - "Change superuser application"

-Reboot into Recovery > Install the downloaded ZIP

-Reboot into Normal > Access Play Store and download SuperSU again

Compliments.
[SuperSU] fajarvian:
it works for me, :D
[SuperSU] miomaguro:
I did it hundreds of times, but it always fails: the graphical SuperSU tells me to update the binaries. I also tried with Titanium backup, and it also tells that the trial with /system/xbin/su has failed. I noticed that after a ZIP install using the recovery, the su -v command in adb shell reports version 2.45 instead of 2.46, that is the one I tried to install. Why??? Please help me...

QuadCore-A31 Series ProtoTec Tablet, model number C2106

Hi,

I've installed SuperSU Free v2.46 on my rooted QuadCore-A31 Series ProtoTec Tablet, model number C2106 phone recently.

When I open the SuperSU app it asks me to update the SU binary. While doing so using the normal mode (not through TWRP/CWM as I don't have either installed on my tablet), it is failing to install the update even after rebooting and retrying.

My device details are below:

Device: ProntoTec 2014 10.1 inch A31S Quad Core Android Tablet PC

Rooted with: Kingo Root

Also, let me know the entire process if this needs to be a) updated via TWRP and b) any tips on how to install TWRP onto my device.

Thank you!

please help

hello sir,i have been using samsung galaxy gt i9300 running on android platform 4.3,kernel version 3.0.31-2363855.recently i had rooted my phone via pc using kingo root app and it went fine.after rooting it installed kingo superuser app on my phone. i wanted to switch it with superuser so i installed superuser ver 2.46 from the playstore.after installation it asked for binary update so i allowed it via normal mode but it failed,i tried rebooting 2-3 times and downloading again but same things happen again and again.then i had tried it also using cwm/twrp mode but it is not successful again.i also tried downloading zip file from your website and tried installing it using cwm recovery which during installation process shows success but after then cwm says root permission need to be fixed and i selected yes then device rebooted. After then when i opened supersu the same window pops up again showing binarysu needs to be updated.after that when i checked via rootcheck it is showing that my phone is not rooted.now i have 2 superuser apps(kingo and superuser) and none of them working and phone also lost root status.Please help me and advice me what to do next.Should i delete both superuser apps and root my phone again or else what should i do.

thanx in advance

[SuperSU] Snowby123:
Can't you just uninstall the app using titanium backup?
[SuperSU] Ch3vr0n:
You should be able to simply remove the app itself either through app manager or TB. Can't say for sure as I stick to nexus line devices precisely to avoid rooting issues like that.

Binary update failed. On reboot it broke root.

model sph-l720 sprint

supersu 2.46 free

android 5.0.1

baseband ending in GOD2

Phone was rooted using odin 3.10 and the jfltespr tar md5 earlier today.

Had root access verified with rootchecker. Loaded rootking to use the kill apps at startup feature, gave it permission in supersu, loaded supersu, requested binary update, attempted normal update, failed, rebooted, tried again, failed, tried the downloaded .zip fix posted earlier, failed, checked rootaccess, broken, no access.

Will have to attempt to reflash with odin in the a.m.

EDIT: I redownloaded kingroot 4.5 and it over installed supersu 2.46 free. I have verified root access again, but still unable to update the binary.

According to "Root Checker" app

Root access: granted

SU: su found [system/xbin/,/system/bin/] Version 3.48 kinguser_su

Using Odin I put this file "G900A_ROOT_Ker_W0lfDroid.tar.md5" and then used towelroot.
[SuperSU] Ch3vr0n:
It was talking about the kinguser su app as you can see under your own SU: line in your post.

Go into custom recovery, load the 2.49 beta, reboot system, use TB to get rid of that kinguser.

Binary Update Needed and Unsuccessful

Hello! I have a Firefly Intense X on Android 4.4.2 with kernel 3.4.67. My apps include Titanium Backup (because the phone is not serviced by Twerp and it is not compatible with CWM although I have a CWM Backup Manager as I couldn't delete it, I am not using it. ) My SD is broken so my files are all stored to the phone's memory. I have Busybox Free and ROM Toolbox Pro but currently Supersu Pro v2.05 prompts

that SU Binary needs updating and when I choose normal since I couldn't have Twerp or CWM, the response is "Installation Failed." Despite this response, Rootchecker says "Root Access is properly installed" but only the Supersu settings are filled, no logs or apps show. I was able to update Super Su before though without an SD. The apps aforementioned are the same apps on my Lenovo Tab but the difference is, Supersu Pro works OK on that tab. How do I update Supersu?

Trouble with binaries

,

I am having the kingroot issue and tried Ch3vr0n's solution of flashing beta 2.49 to the device (did it via APK since having problems getting custom recovery on device). It has been years since I have rooted a device. I can confirm the device is rooted, but have the binaries issues with SU. When trying to flash beta 2.49 I get the invalid OTA package, missing scatter error message. I have searched this thread and the Beta thread and the SU thread but was unable to find a solution to the missing scatter issue (I have no idea what that means).

I did find this response, Should check the md5sum of the downloaded zip file. I also, have no idea what this means, I tried to Google it, Wikipedia told me it's a digital fingerprint, but I got lost in trying to verify it., but I feel the version downloaded from XDA is valid.

I also tried the replace Kingroot with Superuser SU process from here, but it did not work for me. I installed Kingo SuperUser to see if this would make a difference, it didn't.

I am not the most knowledgeable but have spent 1.5 days trying to figure this out and would appreciate any help.

Info:

Device: Digiland DL701Q

Board: mt8127

Android version: 4.4.2

Root checker confirms:

Root access: access granted

SU: su found [/system/xbin/,/system/bin], version 3.48:kinguser_su

I have tried both the the 2.46 and 2.49 versions with no success. I have tried in app normal and in app through recovery, with no success. If someone can walk me through getting the logs I am more than willing to!

THANKS!

Update issue

SuperSU keeps complaining I have to update my binaries, unfortunately it doesn't work.

Device model: Samsung GALAXY Tab S (SM-T800)

Firware version: stock LRX22G.T800XXU1BOCC

Android version: 5.0.2

SuperSU version: "su -v" in adb shell says "2.00:SUPERSU", the app is version 2.46 and it says I have to update but the most recent zip I could find is also 2.46, so I tried updating to that one.

Interfering apps: -

Update methods tried: in-app normal, the install update from external storage using the stock recovery

Logs from TWRM: adb says "remote object cache/recovery/last_log does not exist"

Logs from SuperSU: pastebin: YWJd3c4H

Various logs: pastebin: pwWBY4Xs, the commando's "su -h" and "su self-test" hanged, so I had to skip those.

I hope this issue can be solved, thanks in advance. I can provide any other information if needed. I'm sorry the pastebins aren't urls, but I can't post those yet.

Hi chainfire I have a:

Kindle Fire HD 7

Model #: X43Z6O

Firmaware: 7.5.1

Android Version: 4.0.3 (I believe, not 100% sure)

SuperSU Pro v2.50

I've recently lost root access and I believe it's due to that fact that I can't seem to update the binaries in SuperSU. I've only tried to update it normally in app. I'm not quite sure how to get my kindle into recovery or if I even can. I don't have any apps that will interfere with th app that I'm aware of. although in my system apps I have a file called "SuperUser.apk" but when I click on it, it says File Size, File Folder...etc. are all N/A And I can't delete it due to the fact that I can't seem to regain root access. I previously had full access and my kindle rooted perfectly, idk what exactly caused me to lose access or when it happened. When I use root checker it says I'm rooted but I can't get access for any of my apps.

Any help you could supply me with would be well appreciated.

[SuperSU] mzecher:
I own a CAT S50, which unfortunately has no custom recovery available (yet). AFAIK, the only way to root it is through KingRoot, Kingoroot or equivalent. As already discussed in this thread, those apps have some kind of protection to prevent the replacement of the SU app. As I have no custom recovery, I'm unable to flash SuperSU (beta) with the suggested method. Is there a way to flash it through fastboot, for example?

Thanks in advance

PS: I was able to install SuperSU using an older version of Kingoroot. I guess they hadn't implemented the protection yet
