SuperUserInstall Issues?( SOLVED)

Did the EVO 4G recent root instructions for 2.3.3
Downloaded Superuser from the link in the instructions and extracted to root of SD card and then installed. All programs requiring root say I have none (I do have S-OFF).
So, deleted the superuser stuff and tried to install it from the market. Says it installed fine but still I have no full root according to titianium,Rom Manager,etc.
Installed ROOT CHECK and ran advanced mode.
Says Superuser apk is installed.
The adb binary is set to default shell user access as a standard non root user
Standard su binary location:Is-I/ system/bin/su:
/system/bin/su: No such file or directory
Standard SU binary location: Is-I/system/xbin/su
/system/xbin/su: No such file or directory
Alternate su binary location:
/sbin/su: Permission denied
SU binary not found or not operating properly.
Any assistance out there?
Thanks in advance....

Flash the zip from recovery and it works just fine.

[Q] su permission denied

Hello there,
I just flashed a new ROM (Gingerbread 2.3.7) last night. After signing in the Google account everything is great; the old apps got redownloaded and all. I noticed that there is no apps listed in the superuser. I tried 'su' command in the emulator terminal & I got permission denied.
Luckily all the apps are working in perfect harmony. However, how do I get the superuser permission back? It seems like my device is not rooted. Do I need to root my phone again? Fingers crossed I don't.
Initially, I tried to flash the Ice Cream Sandwich. I tried multiple times but to no avail. I even tried to change the HBOOT (from CM7 > downgrader > Stock HBOOT) but the process failed. I afraid that this might be the cause my root access got lost. Anyone can verify this?
Thanks!

Su app will be built into the ROM so you should still rooted. Sounds like Su settings are just defaulting to deny. Open Su, menu > settings and check its set at prompt (safer than allow). After flashing new Rom you'll need to launch apps that require root access to allow them permission again. You might need to update the Su app or binaries if permissions don't stick.

beachcomber,
1. my Superuser is set at prompt.
2. I am not sure which app that require root access. Could you give me some examples so that I can run them?
3. I tried to update the su binaries, but I got this:
" checking current install path...FAIL!"
" failed to find currently installed su binary. Update cannot continue."
Therefore, what do you suggest?
Thanks.

Take a backup. Download this. Flash it through recovery. Reboot and check if it works.

[Q] Superuser after OTA

Hi Everyone,
So I have updated to Jellybean (4.1.1) via the OTA update and my bootloader become locked again due to the update.
I have Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper installed so fortunately I was able to restore root and Superuser is working fine (so I thought)
Until yesterday, I install an application that would require root access and it appear to me that Superuser was not granting this access.
However previous application that has the access granted by Superuser is still intact.
I tried updating SuperUser binary and encounter the error "Gaining root access..... Failed"
It appears to me that new request for root access was not allowed anymore but previous granted access still works fine.
I do not want to unlock my bootloader again as this means everything will be wipe out.
Therefore Flash via CWM recovery mode is not an option for me.
As I still have root access on ES File Explorer, it there any possibility that I can manually update Superuser (or switch to SuperSU) using the ES File Explorer? Like copying the new apk over to the /system/app ?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

So you can't use boot unlocker so on play store?

Maybe you need to fix permissions.
Did you have ROM Manager by any chance with root access granted? If so you could flash CWM from there, and then apply the latest SuperSU zip from CWM.

Use ES File Explorer and change the permissions on /system/bin/su (or /system/xbin/su) to 6755 and you will be all set.

I see that the Permission of the SU from ES File Explorer is rwx r-x r-x . I believe this is already the correct permission?
I'm thinking if it's possible for me the get the latest binary for Superuser and replace the SU file using the file explorer. Will this work?
Unfortunately I don't have rom manager as well.

Those are not the correct permissions. The setuid bit needs to be set as well. What you posted is 0755, not 06755.

ES File explorer doesn't seems to be able to allow me to set the setuid bit.
I guess I just have to figure out how to use adb to do that.

I just checked and you're right. (i only ever use root explorer.)
In a terminal window:
su
mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
I would also symlink it to bin:
ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su

I managed to do the above. However still no luck with updating SuperUser binary and still encounter the error "Gaining root access..... Failed"
I believe after doing the above I should get permissions (-rwsr-xr-x) but i'm seeing the permission as -rwsr-sr-x
seem like something is wrong?

Strange. I have no idea what the problem would be then.
What I would do is boot up CWM, and re-flash an su package.
The permissions are fine: -rwsr-xr-x = 04755 and -rwsr-sr-x = 06755. Both will do the same thing.

Also I see nothing in the OTA package that would relock your bootloader. You're sure that's exactly what happened? If it did, maybe someone here could pinpoint the component of the OTA package responsible for this?

Looks to be a problem on su.
I download the latest binary and replace it using adb + busybox and now it works fine.
Thanks!

[Q] Su Binary

[How-To][No Recovery/No Flashfire] Install "Xposed Framework" on Lenovo Vibe K4 Note

Finally i found a method to install Xposed framework on K4 note (I am on S152 ROW version) :victory::cyclops: ​Requisites:-
1. Rooted Phone
2. Busybox
3. Terminal Emulator
4. Xposed zip and installer apk files
5. SuperSu and not Kinguser
Here are the steps:-
1. Download the Zip file from here: [url]https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7DMgItCtbjhY2hwQlM0dWdVVlE/view?usp=sharing[/URL]
2. Extract it into your phone's internal storage using any of the file manager (Though i prefer ES)
3. Install busybox from the folder and open it. Click on install and let it install the lib files.
4. Now copy the installer.bin file and xposed-sdk22-arm64.zip to root of your internal storage.
5. Now install terminal emulator and open it.
Type su and enter and allow SuperSu permission and then it will show '#' instead of '$'.
6. Now type sh /sdcard/installer.bin and press enter. (Note:- If it fails to install, rename the xposed.zip file in the root folder with xposed-vsdk.zip and installation should go through. Thanks @Ondipuli for this suggestion.)
7. It will ask whether to install Xposed or not. Press 1
Wait for the process to finish and then it will say install is successful.
8. Reboot the Phone. It might seem it is stuck at boot but give it some time(5 mins). Then it will start optimizing the apps and let it finish with that.
Now open xposed app and Voila! Xposed is installed​Enjoy Xposing!!​Credit goes to Razor Beam from youtube...

Bro, this method is for those who don't want to install flashfire to flash xposed or for those who simply cant get xposed working through Flashfire(I myself was unable to install it through flashfire).
Though flashfire is recommended, sometimes it fails to flash the zip on some devices and that is a known issue. Chainfire is working on the solution.

It works great. Thanks, but at first installer.bin doesn't detect xposed zip file, as the installer search for a file xposed-v*, then i renamed zip file as xposed-vsdk like that & it installed perfectly.

Yes its true. I also tried but renaming is useful or I have xposed zip already i flashed with flashfire. That also worked with this installer.bin. But as it is provided zip is not installing without renaming or the otherr copy.

Actually, for me it installed without the need of renaming. But still if you guys say so, I will edit the post and mention the need to rename the zip if it's not working by default.

Worked for me after renaming. Thanks.

Are you trying this method on Lollipop or Marshmallow. If so then on what version(Build no).
Sorry for the late reply. I am a student and i am not able to come online on xda regularly.

Permission ?
Hi,
I try this method, follow every steps, but it tell me this:
mount: Operation not permitted
/sdcard/installer.bin[25]: can't create /test.txt: read-only file system
Error: Busybox is not installed
I'm rooted under SuperSu, Xposed installer is installed, same as Busybox (by install the lib file too)
Can i get some help please.

Thnx BUT...
OK the first time I tried it did not work so I renamed the xposed package to xposed-vsdk.zip but it did not install the zip so xposed did not recognize or find it. So I when online and downloaded the latest sdk22 (sdk22=lollipop). I renamed it and it worked so I think you should update the master zip with the latest xposed zip.
BTW This also this works on Kindle Fire HD 8 cuz FlashFire doesn't support it.

No. You cannot. The script and the xposed apk inside the zip file are for arm64 so it wont be possible. Don't try it and brick your device.
