Hello,i got a new phone and i immideatly wanted to root it beacuse of blootware etc. open uped odin and downloaded cf-auto root.tar for THIS phone and flashed it,pass showed up got the super su and i get into super su and it asks for me to update the binary,ok nothing to suprising but it says it didnt flash and i should reebot reeboted,tryed again nothing (yes i did try several cf-auto root.tar files to download)
I rooted with CF-Root and I can tell you that it is working like a charm!! There are two methods to update the binary: letting SuperSU install it on \system\something or flash it trought the recovery. Try both methods and let me know of it worked.
Good luck

With Kingroot you need to stay stick to the disgusting KingoUser app, unless ypu are lucky to get super-sume to work on your phone.
Just my opinion

I think it has problems because i already installed kingroot and in cwm on reboot it tries to fix it,Kingroot blocks it somehow :/

That's why you should root with CF-ROOT. Remove root on the KingoUser app and then root using the Chainfire CF-ROOT.
Hopefuly your problem will be solved

Then just download the SuperSU from the Play Store and I think you are good to go!! If it fails to update the binary, just choose the recovery update option and I think you're good to go.

You must click on yes, so you won't lose root everytime you reboot.

Hey all,
So I've managed to upgrade to FW 4, Doom's latest kernel, & Doom's autoroot also. Thanks Doom
I still can't seem to get root working. When I go in to Superuser to try to update, I get the following:
su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip
reboot into recovery and flash it
I can't reboot into recovery (not sw cuz it's not rooted, hitting back key when powering on ignores me).
Anyone else know what I could try?
If you flashed to 4.0 first, then autoroot, then use kernel you will keep root and data.

Logseman told me to flash 4, kernel, then autoroot. Is this the wrong order? Have I lost my chance to root until Doom releases a new kernel?
I kept my data ok, just lost root... which is pants cuz the bloatware needs wiped before my sanity does :-/

If you have superuser you are rooted, if your using doomlords kernel there is no need to auto root as it comes with root. you dont need to update the app just the binaries, but you have the latest version with doomlords kernel so an update is not needed
worst comes to the worst, connect your device to flashtool and hit root

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I agree, def still rooted because i can delete sys apps through root explorer. I can't get Titanium to run - it reports I'm not rooted. Their "problems" link me to update Superuser but it compains re my 1st post that it can't update.
I uninstalled su, new install is 2.3.6.3 but it still refuses the update. Why I can't get into safe mode by hitting the back key on boot is strange too.
Don't know how to run Root from Flashtool, it's greyed out & sounds like I might lose data?
More idea's welcome

WooHooo glad your sorted
Well guys this is what I did... OTA Voodoo did not work to unroot for... me so I started from scratch... At 403 9.x.x17 with NVFlash that I have Lucky me with B50... then took the new OTA update ICS update v9.2.1.21......Butttt Now when pressing the Volume Down and power and then press up it goes into Asus Recovery.. but with the android lying down with an ! over him...ViperMod does not see the the tablet at all...Sooooo Now I guess it's a waiting game to root again..
The Android with ! Is your stock recovery. It doesn't do anything except handle official update file.
I would just nvflash to .17 root it and wait for a cwm version of the new.21. Usually a day or two most till a dev make a cwm version.
Thanks Base I can wait not going back... Just thought I was doing something wrong
really
Yea.. I just killed my DMclient so no Asus update notification harrassing me around..
Will wait for the CWM update for v9.2.1.21 to come.. It's the safer way to update when we have CWM installed and running under v9.2.1.17 at the moment..
what about flashing .17, root it, install ota rootkeeper, update and recover root?
just don't flash a custom recovery before updating via OTA

Okay well, I have a GS4 GT-I 9500 on android 4.2.2 KitKat.
I updated it from 4.3 to this version when I was in Russia.
And lately, I heard of rooting and stuff so I'm a total newbie!
So, I jumped for some tutorials on the web and I learned about Pc Odin, chainfire root, and CWM recovery.
I used first a method wich involved using odin to push the CF auto-root with PDA into the phone while on download mode. I got only 'reset' but no 'pass' would show. And no supersu icon will appear in my app drawer. After lots of tires and multiple Odin version changes I succeeded in having 'pass', but nope, "no proper root access"(via root checker).
So then I used Odin to put CWM recovery in the phone and enter it to "install zip from sd card" and installed the CF auto-root . zip. Lines start to flow and ends with a "Done". Then I go back to reboot and it says something like do you want to fix root located in... before root? I tried "yes - fix root" and "no - just reboot" And both didn't fix it for me.
Finally, I tried motochopper.zip that have some files wich needed developer mode to be enabled and USB debugging. I only had to hit enter in run.bat and it starts the rooting process. But immediately says failure and gives an error like "failure supersu already available"...
I would really appreciate any help. I need my device rooted soon, please. Thanks in advance.
P.S: While on download mode, it shows that my phone status is modified. I won't mind having to force a factory reset if it'll fix something.
Thanks a lot!

If you have Clockwork Mod Recovery on your phone now, find a Superuse.zip install package and flash that in recovery. It will work like a charm.
easy steps !
download & flash touch philz Recovery via Odin
then go to recovery and select re-root system > > yes apply ( Supersu )
Then download supersu from google play and he will ask you how do you want to update binary ,just click normal

Updated CF-autoroot with latest Supersu binaries and combined TWRP recovery for SM-T800/SM-T805/T700/T705 Exynos only, Lollipop and Kitkat
I've noticed that quite a number of people seeking to root their device also flash TWRP afterwards, seeing as it's unnecessary to do both steps I have made an all in one package to root and install TWRP recovery.
Cf-autoroot has been updated with the latest Supersu binaries and TWRP has been updated with my fixed version (ADB root shell and Download mode fixes).
UPDATE - I have updated all versions with new builds. TWRP is now v2.8.6.2 and now includes the fixes recently pushed to their repo for encrypted backups. I have also addressed the slow wipe issue, cache, system, etc., which some have experienced and should now be much quicker.
Each device now has it's own build, this is to ensure that TWRP recovery build properties reflect the device it's installed on. ROMs such as CM12 should now install without issue.
Feedback is welcome.
Simply flash with ODIN. Odin 10.6
cf-autoroot-twrp-t700
cf-autoroot-twrp-t705
cf-autoroot-twrp-t800
cf-autoroot-twrp-t805

UPDATED TWRP:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3074633
NOTE: It is important to boot to recovery after flashing or twrp may not stick and will be replaced with stock recovery.
When flashing uncheck auto reboot in Odin, immediately after flashing manually reboot and boot into twrp.
Manual reboot is POWER + HOME +VOL DOWN then as soon as the screen goes blank immediately change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons.
Credits to chainfire for his great work.
FEEDBACK PLEASE

After using the app with odin, root checker indicates that "Root access not properly configured or granted".
Root question comes up but can not check the box to allow.
Had an issue like this on a different device and it was corrected when I changed to ART, but do not know where it is in 5.0.2?

Hi guys,
Yesterday i have rooted a friend's phone with a laptop using the RootGenius application and all worked perfectly and the root is working good.
EDIT: I've tested other root apps on my friend's phone and it's the same problem. So that app didn't rooted correctly.
After that, i rooted my phone wich is a Samsung Galaxy S4 Black Edition (i9505) and...well, something went wrong there. After the root, all the programs were stopping working. The installed programs were not available and i couldn't open almost any app. I did a factory reset and now it's working fine, but...the root acces it's a little bit f****d up.
If i check the root with Root Checker, it says that i have root access. The superuser app is called KingUser and i never heard of this app.
Now, here comes the problem: if i want to use a root-needed app like GameCIH, for example, i grant the root access, but i can't use the app, it says that i don't have a rooted phone...
I can use the XMODGAMES app wich is also a root-needed app, but i want to use all the root apps, 'cause why not?
I tried to install SuperSU. When i open it, it says that i need to update SU binaries. I press normal, because i don't have a custom recovery and then i grant root acces and then it says: Failed, reboot the phone and try again. I rebooted it a few times and no succes, the same thing.
So what should i do?
Should i unroot it and then re-root it?
If yes, how?
Thanks.
Have a nice day.
Why not just use CF auto-root for flashing. Easiest method and never fails.
Unroot and reroot using CF-Autoroot. Search for the CF-Autoroot thread to learn how it's done.
Be aware however that this will trip the Knox flag.

Thanks, I will try to do that. But what means that it will trip Knox flag?
We have an entire thread on Samsung's Knox software on the forum, but in short the flag is a means for Samsung to tell the phone's firmware has been tampered with.

Ok thank you. I have one more question.
So i didn't find anything on how to unroot with cf-auto-root for android 5.0.1....
Can i root it over the root that it has right now?

This situation is beyond me
How can I remove the KingUser app?
Now i was trying to install CWM Recovery someway to be able to update su binaries trhu it with SuperSu.
Can i add you on Facebook or Steam or Skype or whatever to help me faster?
Or can you send me a detailed step-by-step thing to help me faster..?
Thanks
You can remove King user by clicking on the icon,hold it en move it to the left upper corner ,where it'saing delete app or something like that in Dutch it's "installatie ongedaan maken"
At first root whith Chainfire ,don't use CWM but TWRP 2.6.0.0? Search for it,and dont use TWRP 2.8.5.0.

Damn, i just installed CWM recovery with succes....
I can't uninstall KingRoot or KingUser or KingMaster, whatever is called, it's installed as a system app.
And...i think i just ****ed up my recovery. I can't boot into recovery mode.

That's why i said it's trouble, the only sollution to remove it is factory reset,root again and custom recovery,use this time TWRP much easier ,just touch and spare the volume rockers
Sorry,didn't know it's removable that way...says enough i think...
The factory reset dont unroot, i factory reseted and the phone is still in that trouble.
And with the recovery? Can i install TWRP now?
Ok so i figured out what i've done: I have installed Philz Recovery which is a CWM recovery 6 with touch version and it works via an app that boots into recovery (root app that fortunattely worked as root). So what do i need to do now?
If i open SuperSu it says that it needs to update the su binary. When i tap normal it fails and then i tap cwm/twrp, it dosen't do anything, even if i boot into recovery mode. Do i need to install a zip SU-BB? I did it and it didn't work. Any other ideas?

Your information is outdated. TWRP is already on 2.8.7.0 and it's the only one that should be used. Do not use old version because it will give you conflicts with Lollipop.

What you need to do:
- If you are on the latest Philz just perform a full wipe. Reflash the rom. And do what I told you.
