supersu binary update failed on 5.0 device.



I've seen one or two threads that were in the same vein as this, but no clear resolution. Every time I open SuperSU, I get the message, "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?" I select "Continue," and am given the message to install it normally or through TWRP/CWM. If I try through TWRP, the phone restarts into TWRP, but does nothing. If I select "Normal," I get the "Installation failed!" message. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling SuperSU, but that didn't do anything.
I'm using 5.0 walton device.

SuperSu update



I have SuperSu (zip) installed from recovery.
Can I update it to newer version from APK?



*URGENT* Tablet bricked when installing SuperSU as system app



I have an Acer Iconia One 7 B1-760HD that I just rooted with Kingroot, then useing SuperSU Me I installed SuperSU and replaced Kinguser. When I was looking in the settings I decided to install SuperSU as a system app, because I have multiple accounts on my device, and don't want people to be confused. Once I rebooted, it booted past the "powered by Android" screen, but freezes on the boot animation. I have waited 10 minutes and no boot, tried wiping user data, nothing happened. I really need help with this, as I haven't even had the device 24 hours, and had little to no time for using it.
The system it was running was Lollipop 5.0.1, if that is any use. If anyone has a stock image (.zip) of the /system folder that would be very much appreciated.

(P.S. When running the root integrity check there was 2 files labelled as modified)

[TUT] Restore SuperSU permissions and settings after re-installation?



While no one made a thread about this topic or even asked around and no app can backup its stuff, then I thought it will be better to post such a solution to what is apparently a missing feature/option of SuperSU app, I actually wrote a reply on SuperSU thread talking about it. Anyway, this thread is for users who ever wonder how to get around it and stop re-authenticate every app all over again and maybe they forget to give permission to a startup important tools (e.g. SElinuxModeChanger) so here we go.

NOTE: I only tried it for SuperSU v2.46, maybe it works for other versions, and it's important to do the process within the same version.
1- Go to SuperSU settings and uncheck "Re-authentication" (very important!).
2- Open up a file explorer that supports root permissions (e.g. ES File Explorer) and grant it the permissions (make sure you see a toast notification confirmed that, otherwise you can't continue).
3- Go to /data/data/eu.chainfire.supersu/shared_prefs folder.

*You see the file eu.chainfire.supersu_preferences.xml, it contains values of certain configuration or important info of SuperSU like any other app has the file end with "_preferences.xml", let's go back.
4- Take a copy of that file eu.chainfire.supersu_preferences.xml
5- Re-install SuperSU and make sure it's installed correctly with "su binary" to work properly.
6- Open up your file explorer and grant it root permissions.
7- Go to the same folder /data/data/eu.chainfire.supersu/shared_prefs and replace the new file with the one you kept.
8- Go to SuperSU app info screen in system settings and click on "Force stop".
9- Then open it, now you see the same list of apps (without their icons because they aren't installed yet, so once they are, they don't need to ask for root again) and have the same settings configuration.

That's it.

And I hope @chainfire add an option for all that just with one click.

Note for moderators: this is my first thread, I don't know where else to put it, so I apologize in advance.

Confused and frustrated with this "SuperSU" thing



Why are there 3 different versions of this app on play store and which one do I need and why is the one on my phone unable to be uninstalled and why can't I click the "grant access" pop-up so I can use my apps? And why does the SuperSU update app say there is no supersu even installed on my phone?

Root GEM-702L using custom recovery method (TWRP) + SuperSU



Hi
My X2 GEM-702L bootloader us unlocked. I verified by "fastboot oem get-bootinfo" already.

I prefer to root it using the customer recovery method as I'd prior experience using this method on other Android smartphone.

However at the point of flashing the custom recovery I encountered an error:
C:> fastboot oem get-bootinfo
(bootloader) unlocked

C:> fastboot flash recovery twrp_recovery.img
sending recovery (2672 KB)......
OKAY [ 0.609s]
writing recovery
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)

Where did I go wrong ?

How to unroot from SuperSU (HDX 7")



Hello everyone, I've been very tempted to root my kindle fire hdx 7 and I've finally decided to do it, but there is still one thing stopping me. Let's say I want to go back, no root and update to the latest version of Fire OS. How do I do this? If I do root, I will be running 4.5.2 with SuperSU from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1&postcount=56
Thanks! :)
