so i been dealing with this root methoed for awhile and i finaily got twrp on my phone and all including SU
but i install ccleaner and it shows my phone s not rooted so what can i do to fix this
i have SU 2.82 i did the advanced wipe on cache and dlvik i did a format data still no root is showen
you have to install the su zip AFTER doing everything else. If you did format data you deleted your root if it was on there

ccleaner like many old apps have not been updated to work properly with system-less root. They are still looking for the su binary under system/bin or system/xbin. You'll need to contact the app developer about that. Alternatively, you can go into SuperSU and have it install the binary for old-school root but I don't recommend it.
You can use a ton of other apps to get rid of the Verizon bloat (titanium backup being one of them).

Okay, so heres my case i rooted my play and installed the custom ROM GBTweaked0. Since then i couldn't access my Recovery or install my old rom from my SD card. Me being a n00b, i tried uninstalling busybox, the uninstall failed and since then my apps seem to have lost root access and im missing /system/bin/sh.
Please if anyone could help me get the sh file back i'd greatly appreciate it. i just want my phone running back on my stock rom

i already tried reinstalling busybox from the market and it claims it doesnt have root access even though it does. i made sure in super user
you could find the busybox files and move them manually to the correct location

i dont think that that would work either because system/bin is a read only folder. so even if i knew how to manually install busybox the way your talking about i don't think that it would let me.
never mind i flashed to stock 2.3.2 using WotanServer. Thanks for the help

yes, but like i said in my first post, i tried uninstalling busybox which deleted the sh file in my system/bin folder which must have taken root access away.
But again, it's all good now cus like i said i managed to flash back to stock 2.3.2 using WotanServer and updated to 2.3.3, rooted, restored all my apps, and now my phone is back to normal.
I can't delete any system apps with it anymore, does anybody else have the same problem or even a fix for it?
Working fine on 6.01 for me, Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling it?
I just updated to 6.0.1 myself, rooted using superSU 2.61. I too cannot delete system apps using titanium. I tried to uninstalled and reinstall the app (via playstore) but it didn't help.
I also tried to do the same via the root explorer option in ES file explorer and it didn't work. I tried to toggle the root explorer option in ES, but after I turned it off I couldn't turn it on again. Root checker does say that I have root, and other root apps e.g. adaway, xprivacy still work.
Any help and suggestion is most welcome!

hey guys, "system less root"
That would modify system... Just freeze the apps.

Some people still want to recover the space.
With systemless root you will need to modify the system in TWRP to get titanium and ES working correctly.
It's as simple as going into TWRP and mounting the system R/W.
You then need to open the terminal in the following places:
/system/bin and execute "touch su"
/system/xbin and execute "touch su"
This will create zero byte files for SuperSu to come along and swap/link to on boot so that ES and TiBu can ask for root and get it.
They will then operate as you expect.; with the caveat that you are on your own when you start tinkering and may break something.

Pretty sure you lose Android Pay with this method though, just FYI if you care about that.
But if you are running Xposed you broke it anyway. There is a way to get it working.
You will need to remove the empty su files you just created to be able to add cards.
You will need to use a Xposed module to hide modifications to the system so that the device check comes back clean.
It's a pain, but if you want Xposed, TiBu, ES and Android Pay, that is the price.

Download root checker from play store. If it shows your phone to be rooted, then updating will brick your device. If it shows "no root access" then you can update to Lollipop.
And, a word of advice, dont update to Lollipop. Kitkat works much much better than Lollipop on A6000+.
Also, you can try custom ROMs if you are familiar with flashing ROMs and stuff..

No app without root access can install busybox because without root access they dont have permission to write in /system directory. So, the "install busybox without root" app has to store busybox files in /data/ directory, and must be guiding other apps to that folder when some apps ask for busybox.
And without root permissions you cant modify the contents of /data/.
So, you need to install that "install busybox blah blah" again and then try installing busybox again. Then, clear data of the "install busybox ..." app and I think busybox would get removed, hopefully.
And yah, if this doesn't work you can factory reset your phone. That would surely do the job.

Yeah factory resets wipes the /data/ directory. All of your installed apps will be removed too, so you should better make backup first.
Hi guys
I am pretty new to android, but i know a lot about pc's.
I have a OP5 and rooted it, but then i had an issue with SuperSU and uninstalled it. What i did not think, is that if i reinstall it, it has no root access, because i can not grant it.
So i tried reinstalling it with TWRP, but it did not get root access.
Does anyone know how to give it root again/reinstall it with root?
(i could reflash the os and reinstall superSU, but i dont want to set uo the phone again)
Also does anyone know the progress on nethunter for OP5?
Thanks and yours

It's been awhile since I used SuperSU so I might be fuzzy: SuperSU has two components, 1) the .zip portion installed from TWRP and 2) the APK. The zip is like "the framework/service/su" part and the APK is the app that just tracks and loads the DB with which apps or services have been granted SU access.
My question is "Which of these did you uninstall?" : OR: Did you uninstall both? Maybe only uninstalling one or the other causes an 'out of sync' condition.
Anyway: This version of SuperSU https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133 discussed in that thread has the APK in the .zip file. By definition all TWRP recoveries are rooted and can do what they want to like installing SuperSU.
What happens after you boot seems more likely to be about left-over crud from the APK / DB component, (and I'm guessing here), so if the SuperSU APK is still there, I'd clear it's data entirely, perhaps get rid of it entirely if you can and reinstall the .zip that contains all parts of SuperSU (maybe they all do now) from that link ^^. Make sure that link I gave is the one you want (systemless, etc).
TWRP should've done the heavy lifting during SuperSU install since it's already rooted. If it didn't, then keep the log from TWRP and look over it's install steps during the SuperSU install. Post it here maybe.
Thanks for the answer.
I uninstalled the apk.
I already tried to install the apk directly and also installing it from the zip, and there was either a message like "no root detected" or " root is corrupted".
I also deleted the su folder, uninstalled the apk and reinstalled the zip. But it was always the same: the apk did either say it's not rooted or did not install/show in the apps.
Probably i have to unroot and root it, or do you have any other idea?
TWRP Terminal
I found out, that there is a terminal with root access on twrp. So i searched for eu.chainfire.supersu with the find comman and use chown root:root to give each directory root access. But it still did not recognize the root. So i thought about the db you said and maybe it doesnt recognize the db.
So i tried the same with dsploit as it doesnt run without root, but it's the same.
I will try to delete all the supersu directories as well as any su directory and reinstall the zip. Or if there is an apt-get, i will try it to install it by terminal

You might be out of luck if you deleted the su directory or any other related to binary su code. I'm not sure why you couldn't do a reinstall of the original SuperSU .zip file. You've got that whole 'catch-22' thing going right now.
The only thing I'm wondering about is whether a certain amount of cleanup has to take place before you can just roll SuperSU*.zip over an old mangled version and get it to work. Do you get errors in TWRP when trying to reinstall the entire package?
---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------
I downloaded this version of SuperSU (which may or may not be what you used, but you of course want the one you used): http://download.chainfire.eu/1114/SuperSU/SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931.zip
Then I unzipped it and the installer script for not only the binary parts but the apk is here .\SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-binary. (updater-script is a dummy). It's kind of old school and is very easy to understand (the shell script that installs it).
All the files that it pushes onto the SD are easy to find and use, although you have to keep SELinux settings in mind.
It's worth taking a look at if you want to try to rebuild the wrecked version or if you want to just reapply the zip and have a better understanding of any errors it spits out.
Good luck.
Okay so recently I have rooted my E4 (Sprint) and can't seem to uninstall system apps. It comes with face book and all that other Sprint bloat. But when i use an app to try to uninstall them, they just stay there. Any help? I'm currently rooted with magisk 13.3 and have xposed installed along with busy box.
install root explorer app and try manually deleting apps (/system/app) (/system/priv-app)
This will work for sure

What app are you using to remove the apps? Titanium Backup? I've had TBU not uninstall some apps for whatever reason, but link2sd was able to remove apps. Might want to try it.
I've noticed some of the apps that are carrier installed are in the oem folder, deleted them and problem solved. This was on a metro PCS variant.
This is the oem folder, I used FX file explorer.

I have the Sprint version but when I try to erase any app from those folders the device freezes
It was freezing on me when I was using root explorer pro, that's why I ended up switching to FX. Also when you rooted your device did you do a wipe and then flash noverity and then su because if you didn't do the wipe your phone might still be encrypted and it won't allow you to modify system folders.

I can't get it to work with FX either. It just freezes the phone. I don't get why it works for you.

You could try deleting them in the file browser on twrp
That is how I had said I to do it in the thread I started explaining how to do it. This users problem is they can't find the option to mount the OEM folder in twrp to be able to see the contents in the file manager to edit it.

I formatted the system, flashed magisk then noverity
In order to make it work for me I had to format data in twrp then reboot twrp and then flash noverity first then your root of choice and then it worked.
I REALLY don't want to format again only to find out it may not work..
