Lineage OS can't get root acces... HELP! - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone! I installed recently Lineage OS 14.1 on my Zenfone 2 and I saw that there is root acces just for ADB.. so I googled the thing and I found out that I had to install the su binary.. so , I downloaded it , booted into recovery, flashed the zip( successfully), booted the system and went into settings and I saw that now I have access to root for apps to.. until here , everything was nice, but after that, I downloaded Root Checker to verify if the root is working and guess what? It wasn't.. I searched everywere, but no results..if somebody can help me, please reply.. Regards.

Have you tested it, by connected via ADB and do a "su" command? Same with a terminal emulator on your phone?

> just saw that I have access to it
You should choose that, man.

Have you tried running the command "adb root" first and then "adb shell" ?

Did you install the superuser x86 zip from LineageOS - https://download.lineageos.org/extras? I know you said you did, but make sure it's the x86 version. You'll also need to go back to root access and turn it on for apps and adb.

I have the same problem, I installed the superuser x86 zip from from link and enabled the apps and adb but the root checker still says that my device is not rooted.

Fixed superuser download.

I registered just to thank you!
In my case it wouldn't not only not work with the official LineageOS root method, it wouldn't accept any other method I tried.
The ones I tried (Magisk and SuperSU) got me stuck into recovery boot without being able to get back to the system and I had to do a clean flash to get it back working again.
Fortunately this solution worked and now I have my Zenfone 2 rooted. Thanks!

Android Commander allways reporting no root access

Please can someone explain why android commander is allways reporting me my HOX has no root access?
This happens to me on every rom I've tried yet.
Or is this related to S-On?
Try rooting a few times, make sure busy box is installed and use different methods to root if available.

Connect your phone to your pc and execute these
Code:
adb shell su
then you should get this # if you have root
!!!Solution
"The Root access : No because" you'r using the stock rom which have a "secured adb" (even when you'r rooted)
Download the "adbd insecure" in this thread and "Enable insecure adbd", problem solve:

You re-rooted after Busybox, so you rooted a second time ?
and now you have Root access : availlable in Android Comander ?

No, not the Galaxy but was having the same problem with Android Commander not recognizing root. Saw the post above about re-rooting and also applying the adb insecure app. Did both and I mean just doing the same root process without un-rooting first. I use Super One Click for my phone. Anyway, still didn't work.
So I downloaded BusyBox Free from the playstore and installed it. Ran Super One Click again, also doing the Shell root, and it worked! Don't know if coincidence or just got lucky but posted hoping it might help others.

I already have Busybox installed and ticked option in adb insecure app so I will try to re-root my SM-T900 but I don't believe it'll work
It worked on Huawei Honor 6 L02 with root, busybox + adbinsecure. Thank you all for the tips.
Same issue in my side
I am using Xolo Q900 and installed MIUI custom rom for the device.
But When I connect android commander its showing no root access.
I have tried the Insecure ADB but it failed to patch. showed an error message "Patching not done"
Also showing USB debugging not enable but I have enabled it and its showing active in my phone.
When I am opening titanium backup in my phone Its showing I have root access. I have also installed new version of Busy Box but still no heal.
Can anybody help me on this?
It worked
After installing the ADB Insecure [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26885208] I can now see the Root status OK in Android Commander.
I was making mistake in the Permission Manager in MIUI rom. After allowing the ADB Insecure app from there I was able to patch.

[Q] Rooting on 4.3

Hello all,
I recently got my hands on a Note 2 running Android 4.3 on the MK6 bootloader. I have done a bit of research, but am still somewhat confused about how to root the phone. If I am correct, I just use Odin to flash this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891
Onto the phone to have root access, correct?
Next, if I want to have CWM, I flash this:

If there are any steps I am missing, please let me know. I would like to procede with as much knowledge as possible to avoid bricking the phone. I am aware that doing this will trip the Knox e-fuse, and I am ok with that.
Thanks in advance!

So, today I tried to root my phone, and as soon as I was finished flashing CF Auto Root, Knox blocked the root and said that "Unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked."
Does that mean I cannot root my phone?

No you're fine. Go to Google Play, Download the Update for SuperSU. Update it, it will pop up a window and ask if you want to disable Knox.
SAY YES !

Thanks for the answer, but there is no option to update SuperSU from Google Play, and I can't uninstall it either.

Superuser installation issues after installing over SuperSU
It seems SuperSU is writing a file that is confusing Superuser installation on stock builds. If you want to install Superuser over SuperSU, you will need to manually remove the /system/etc/.has_su_daemon file.
I have the /system/etc/.has_su_daemon file.l I'm creating a CWM zip to remove it.
Hopefully that's the solution.

And it wasn't ..... I created a flashable zip that deleted them and it didn't work.
But I did kick it's a$$.
Like I said earlier I running the 【ROM】【March 01】【4.3】Note2_lte_e250_R7. 2 . It's a N7105 port for the ATT.
So I knew there was something called a Multitool in the N7105 threads from Dr Ketan.
I flashed that in TWRP, it's an aroma install type flash, so I only choose Root and install Busybox.
Like all of our other flash installs it looked like it completed successfully.
Every flash or ODIN I've done or most today, I've gotten into adb shell and did
ls -l /system/xbin/su. never saw the file.
After flashing root and busybox I finally saw
[email protected]:/ $ ls -l /system/xbin/su
-rwxr-xr-x root root 100452 2008-08-01 05:00 su
Woo Hoo !
Got into phone, ran supersu, still said no binary.
Not sure why I did this really buy I typed su while in adb shell, Supersu window popped up on my phone, I clicked accept and all root stuff is working.
I have no clue why this worked. But it did, for me anyways. Hopefully it'll work for you, Luigi.

Thanks for all the info!
So, let me get this straight:
I don't need the ROM you're running on my phone. What I should do is find the Multitool, flash it via recovery, and root and Busybox. Then, connect my phone to my computer to run adb (which I don't really know how to do, so I'll have to look that up), type in su, and then from there everything should work as normal.
Also, an extra piece of information I forgot to mention earlier that you might find useful: SuperSU does NOT start at all; it just immediately closes when I click the icon, and then the Knox warning comes up. Did this happen for you?

Really have no clue.All I know is it worked for me.
For me SuperSU opened all he way. It told me I didn't have the su binary, do a manually install. Everything I did, did not work until my last post. 99% sure it will work for you.
For ADB use this....
http://four-nineteen.com/veronica/XDA Developers/Nook Tablet/DRIVERs/ADB + Fastboot + Drivers.zip
Unzip and save only the files that start with ADB. Create a directory like ADB under C:\.
Copy all the ADB files to C\ADB
Go to command prompt in windows, cd to c:\adb directory (whatever you created)
Type adb devices. Make sure it has a device listed
C:\xUltimate-v2.4.2\jar>adb devices
List of devices attached
8675309JennieJennie device
If so, type adb shell
C:\xUltimate-v2.4.2\jar>adb shell

I flashed 2.7.0.1 but when i try to boot to recovery I get the white screen with the red warning at the bottom, and "booting into recovery" in pink at the top, but then it fails and reboots to normal system.
not working
i think chain fire didn't release root for 5.0.1....
if i knew that, i wouldn't update to this android
Works fine on Nexus/GPe devices so must be an Sense thing
Rooted my M8 with S-ON and bootloader unlocked.
I installed first openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.3
Then entered recovery mode to install SuperSU (latest version)
worked fine.
Did have a WiFi issue, no sure why, but after factory reset problem was solved.
Didi have also the facebook messenger lag problem when in app sound was active.
I just went back to 4.4.3 in the end and installed the viperone Rom and have to say i am impressed

You may want to download a root checker app to verify. If it wasn't root properly, I would re-download the SuperSU zip and install it once more.

My guess is the given app is not compatible with Lollipop.
Try a couple other apps that require root access; e.g., root file explorer.

mmmm, maybe you are right, coz checker is ok, other some apps needs root works fine, like root explorer, aptoide, busybox, but xmodgames

It's exactly the same as before.
Look for how do I root here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711073
You unlock bootloader. Flash a custom recovery... I suggest twrp. It will ask you when you exit if you want to root. Say yes.
Boot into android, install supersu if it or superuser aren't there already. (from play store)
Or just flash recovery . Install a rom , likely rooted already.

Boot into android, install supersu if it or superuser aren't there already. (from play store)
Or just flash recovery . Install a room, likely rooted already.

thanks for that but when I did it in my phone it says su binary out of date! what can I do now?
Can you explain everything you did, beginning to end. And exactly when/where you get that message?
I had already TWRP in my phone so I download your files. Opened the recovery and I did from there (install). When it finished rebooted the device and after that when i did a root check it said root access not properly install or sometihing

Open the SuperSU app, and it will prompt you to install the binaries. Select yes, of course.
i did that too nothing happened :/

This ^^^^
If it asks to update with a "normal" and "twrp/cwm" option... Try normal first. The other option if that doesn't work.

I tried the normal it didnt work, how I do the second, I pressed it but nothing happened!
I don't think you have twrp installed anymore, or not properly. You've flashed it with fastboot, since updating to lollipop? How did you update to lollipop?
Normal, I never had root before. Upgraded my phone to 5.0 and then i tried to root it
Rooted fine here with normal method. Just had to update super su.
OK, can you please walk us through exactly what steps to Root you took. From the beginning. And we'll see what happened.
?
i havent been able to find the option to disable fast boot so i havent even tried yet but if anyone has let me know

They must have taken the option out. It didn't boot any faster for me anyways. Not since 4.4.2

SO GUYS, ITS ME THAT I CREATED THIS THREAD! PROBLEM SOLVED. I ALREADY HAD TWRP AND DOWNLOADED THE Update-supersu file from the above youtube video (links) and I did it with recovery mode. I DONT KNOW BUT THE PREVIOUS supersu I installed couldnt update the su binary. This one did it. PROBLEM SOLVED AND I ROOTED MY 5.0.1 LOLIPOP DEVICE.
THANKS GUYS FOR EVERYTHING REALLY HELPFUL!!!

[Q] Somebody confirms pls, 5.0.1 has root access ?!?!?!

please someones confirm us about lollipop 5.0.1.
does our HTC M8 has a root access for this version of android ??
many requests from a lot of users for root access.
i tried all previous versions for chain fire super su, but didn't work, it keeps saying binary needs to be updated, and we have to do it manually.
i heard some talks about flashed kernel.
please experts, relief this pain...:cyclops:
Root access working on Lollipop for me. Installed latest TWRP and downloaded Chainfire SU to internal memory. Flashed the zip through the recovery and restarted.
try any version of su over 2.4

Rooted my M8 with S-ON and bootloader unlocked.
I installed first openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.3
Then entered recovery mode to install SuperSU (latest version)
worked fine.
Did have a WiFi issue, no sure why, but after factory reset problem was solved.
Didi have also the facebook messenger lag problem when in app sound was active.
