We all know that easy root, towel and community...
You can easily run easy root and root it via towel root.
No need for any special steps.
That info you said, that you can't use supersu from market is old news...
Supersu id updated to 2.0 and it's working without any problems directly from market...

So you mean, from now on installing SuperSU manually by downloading it on http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/ and just going on Google Play and installing SuperSU from there are the same thing? I remember there was some issues between these two methods.
And another question; going on towelroot.com and installing tr.apk manually has the same effect with using Easy Root Tool?
Thank you.

Yes and yes...
Supersu wasn't updated that was all...
Nothing major, there's v2.0 now (or even higher) and it's working...
Easy root have a script that downloads same file (towelroot) from same source so yes, it's absolutely the same...

Hello,
So to clarify a little bit this method.
You have to install the SuperSu from Google Play Market and that's it, you can have ROOT on your Xperia Z2?
And if I don't want anymore to have ROOT on my Z2, simply remove the apk and you are without ROOT?
Thank you in advance!
Problem with Super SU
Hi everybody,
I did the following:
Downloaded tr.apk from towelroot.com
Installed and started it
Got "you got root" message
Went to Play-store and installed SuperSU
Started it and got error-message: "Could not install SU-file"
Updated with apk from chainfire
Stated SuperSU again and still got the error again
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
Georg

Have rooted my phone with tr. And it's really good that rooting Z2 under 4.4.2 is so easy.
Thanks developers for the TR.

I knew there is a newer version on play store but it didn't work for me.
I rooted my phone yesterday and I belivered I dl the newest version of supersu but It failed to update the binary.

I just rooted my z2 similar to how you describe using easyroot v8 however as you said because tr was updated it no longer worked, couldnt recognise it.
i found this link in another thread http://www.mediafire.com/download/hath2562jyxipo3/tr.apk. once downloaded, put this tr apk in the files directory of the extracted easyroot, click on the install.bat file, follow the prompts etc and you'll fine it will work (well it did for me), then of course install supersu etc

I'm hearing too many bad rumors about kingo root, are there any posted instructions on how to remove it 100% and go back to a clean stock to make a pristine install of hyperrom

Flash the supersu 1.65 zip from chainfire over top of it from safestrap:
http://download.chainfire.eu/351/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip
As for your information theres nothing you can really do , it is sent to them when the exploit is run on your phone
Funny, i just tried this method using kingo and during the process had a popup from play store asking my permission to install an app called mtkcamera and advising me against possible harmful software. Needless to say i didn't click on anything and the root failed..lol. Seems suspicious to me.
How does one verify that Chainfire SuperSU has been written over Kingo after the safestrap flash?

just compare the date on the app with the date from Chainfire's website and the apk.

I thought some of you might be interested in this...
I was rooted on my SPG511 with locked bootloader, having used TowelRoot12.2. I was using the paid version of SuperSU and had enabled Survival Mode.
I just took the OTA to 4.4.4 and much to my surprise I still had root after the upgrade! So that's good news... Let me know if you have any questions....

Do you still have rw access to /system?
ES Explorer says I have r/w access to /system but I'm not sure how to test this
Gonna give the same thing a shot and see what it does to me...

Simply test it with any app need root, e.g. Titanium Backup, Lucky Patcher or etc, to see if these app still works.

Interesting! What version were you on exactly and what did you update to? In the update to 17.1.2.A.0.314 I lost root even though I had the paid version of SuperSu and survival mode enabled. I currently have the update to 23.0.1.A.430 pending and I fear losing root with no means to get it again without unlocking my bootloader.
i also had the paid and lost root, i just found a prerooted flashable and i'm going to use that
I just updated from .314 to .167 and I didn't lose root. Tb and all other root apps still working fine. I have PRO version of SuperSU.
Edit:I didin't even have PRO version of SuperSU.. Root still working

Only NCG firmware can be rooted ( downgrade via Odin). Run towelroot, install SuperSU (update its binaries and then reboot your phone), install busybox, then install safestrap. After all that you can use Odin to get to the firmware you want to run and keep root.
Thanks for the response where do i get those files for downgrade thanks

See down in the notes #4 for unrooted phones.
Root with towelroot, install SuperSU from play store, update the binaries (normal method), reboot phone, download busybox from play store and install. Then you can install safestrap.
i download everything but when i connect my s5 to my pc and open odin it dosnt say that is added odin is not reading my device

Hello. I am running Alliance ROM, with an OH4 build and an OD5 bootloader. My phone has been rooted forever, and I can't remember which root method I used, but I know that I can ODIN an NI2 kernel and get to Safestrap. I've never gotten Xposed to work properly.
There are a lot of threads about using Magisk, but everything talks about it needing some sort of "Systemless root". I'm not sure what that means. Is that some newfangled root method that everyone is using now? I have SuperSU pro 2.78. How do I know if it's Systemless?
Can anyone decipher the Magisk thread and tell me if it will work with this phone? Or are there any other methods that will work?

i dont know if it will work with pokemon go or not but here is a way to hide root you would have to downgrade to super su 2.77 or earlier though to use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/suhide-t3450396
Magisk works if you have an unlocked bootloader. I am using it on my s5 with Pokémon. It's fairly straightforward with twrp to setup. I am on resurrection remix.

Can you tell us in some detail how you installed it and what version your using of Magisk. I've not been as lucky with my installs and yes I can unlock my bootloader

Sorry for the delay. It looks like Magisk no longer works as google updated safetynet. If I find something that works I will let you know. I am probably done with the game though.

I updated to V7 and no luck. Here is the link to instructions.

Maybe I am not erasing all the su files, but even with magisk installed, regardless of being on a stock rom or a custom rom, i can't get it to work.
I assumed that magisk working means that magisk is working properly and...should, in theory, allow me to play pokemon go.
I guess I'll just have to hope they repeal it, mostly because iphone has so many hacks....not requiring jailbreak.

but not with phh superuser? that's what i've been using since that seems to be what magisk has been pushing.
edit: also, does it work with xposed as well? at least, the systemless exposed.
actually, i don't even know if the zip i have to use for my samsung is systemless, even though it uses the same installer...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268Magisk v.7 +Suhide v0.54 + Xposed confirmed working POGO on my S3 running CM13
My S5 has locked bootloader =(
Magisk requires unlocked bootloader +TWRP
Suhide requires android 6.0+
If you can get TWRP on your S5 you are good to go to play POGO
1.Uninstall xposed and Majisk and Supersu(i used http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3528363&d=1446472307
2.Reflash whatever rom you are on(if using rooted rom(like cm13) reflash unsu.zip and delete the SU binaries or anything that says "su" from /system/bin & /system/xbin & /data with TWRP file browser)
3.TWRP shell, type
echo SYSTEMLESS=true > /data/.supersu
4.Flash SuperSU. only this version http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
5.Reboot to system once before going back to recovery.
6.Flash Magisk v7, then suhide v.54, then Xposed Systemless). Reboot to system.(do not flash batch)(flash each individually)
7.Install Magisk Manager v2.apk
8.Install Material Design Xposed Installer apk
9. i like the "Snorlax" xposed mod
=)
*also earlier today Magisk v6 + Suhide v.54 +xposed was working fine but i went ahead and updated to new verrsions to hopefully stay ahead of safety net
*also here is oudated thread where i learned this method...my steps slightly different and use updated links
*also some report problem with xposed systemless v86.6 ... redo all steps with v86.2
*also xposed not required for POGO (just ignore all xposed entries in setup for working POGO and root) but who doesnt want xposed =P
What would work for my stock rom on a Samsung E7 Lollipop 5.1.1? I rooted, installed GoGPS in system with Lucky Patcher, unrooted and now the game says my phone is not compatible with Pogo. I can't install Marshmallow cause there is no version of it for my smartphone.

Today marks the second day in a row that I have lost root. Yesterday I noticed that I didn't have root anymore and figured it was something I did, as I'm a bit of a nood and was trying to tweak some things. I spent all day yesterday on the forum and was able to get my phone on nought through the tmob rom in the roms and kernel section. Went to sleep while it was downloading my apps again and woke up without root again. Why is this happening?
If you're allowing SuperSU to update to the latest version you can lose root as a result. Stay on 2.79 or below. One possibility.

Try re-rooting using the working root method, then flash the latest SuperSU v2.82 with FlashFire. Chainfire mentioned this will fix the issues of the previous update breaking root, except for Xperia devices. I can't guarantee this works as I'm on Nougat, but Chainfire is very reputable.
