Having issues trying to root.. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys.
I can't seem to get my SGS2 to root properly. I have tried with the CF root kernels and then use S2 Root and it says successful but nothing that requires root will work with root privileges.
Any suggestions?
I am using stock 4.0.3 and the kernel is CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5
Thanks.

Actually, this might help generate a response.
I have S2 Root'd the phone but I have CF Root on. I have SuperSU and CWM installed too but any app that requires root just keeps "root-looping" (asking for root - or, because i've already accepted it, I get a small popup saying this app is requiring root permissions or whatever it says).
None of the apps will then gain root access and forever rootloop until I reboot.
I hope this helps you in order for you to help me!

Nevermind, the problem was the kernel!

But i have the su icon. I also tried with factory reset, reroot it again and still the same problem i have the su icon but no root access.
I rooted my phone with superoneclick and when i try to unroot it,unfortunately i guess it needs root access too to make the unroot progres... http://prntscr.com/65iyv

[SOLVED] Root Checker shows root, but apps don't gain root access. why?

Hi, i am a complete noob.
I recently rooted my phone without flashing a new kernel using the cwm recovery mod busybox installer on this site. However, since then i have updated my firmware over kies but not a full update, just a small one. Now although root checker says i have root, my root apps can't gain root access. Would really appreciate any help oli could get on this matter.
Running XWLPI on my phone. Any more info needed i can provide but dont know what is required.

EDIT: The link in the first reply worked, I used the unroot all file to clear everything and then the signed superuser only file to root. worked like a charm

Download Superuser from Play store
S2 - Powered by NeatROM
For stock ROMs SuperSU will be better.

Root apps denied root access

So, after the OS upgrade to 4.3 from 4.2.2, I've discovered that some applications that requires root access deny my system root, YES I've checked that my device is rooted, I have the stock kernel, stock firmware but I've rooted it via Odin3 with CF-AUTO ROOT, and yes the operation was successful. Now, the apps that I'm talking about is Gamecih app and all the other apps like that, and Screen recording apps, all of then denied my root. I've tried wifi kill app (that app works perfectly). So what could be the problem? The app or the OS version itself? Please find me a solution to fix this god dam problem, I'm using the Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE (GT-i9305) device.
You need to re-root your phone with 4.3 root script, and then install supersu..
i think the best way is flash philZ Recovery though odin.. good luck

ZTE Speed, root impossible to get?

I'v ran through all root methods (that i know of) for this phone (4.4.4) and none of them work. at all. Whats the point of a root dir if its impossible to access? Seems to be limited info on a root method for this phone. Is it root proof?

For now because of the locked bootloader
Root Achieved!!
UPDATE
I got Kingroot to root the zte speed!!!
but it doesnt keep root for very long. usually only stays rooted for a matter of minutes, and you have to reroot it everytime you reboot
I had to install "certificate installer" from google play and install a root certificate.
now im just trying to figure out how to keep it rooted
me to i cant get root to stay there maybe the kingroot guys can fix that in a updat.

Wanted to post update on this thread for people who come by via Google wanting to root that zte speed, as I was sick of coming by this thread as seeing no answer from the search results.
I did the following and was able to get permanent root with SuperSU
Source/Inspiration for this guide (thank you hroark13): androidforums / zte-speed-n9130-permanent-root-achieved.1061137
With ADB enabled and hooked up, run " adb shell reboot disemmcwp "from your PC. This helps to unlock some key parts for Kingroot to work much quicker and persist. That was the secret sauce that was not known in 2015 when everyone was trying to root this at first.
I used Kingroot 5.3.8 from APK mirror as that was easiest (no need to install the Kingroot application on PC just downloading the APK is enough to the phone). I was also running AnTuTu Benchmark Stress Test at the same time as running Kingroot, but this might not be necessary.
I installed Busy Box, and got the SuperSU downloaded ahead of time from the play store as well. I had tried to run Super SU but it couldn't replace the binary, so:
Finally, replace Kingroot with SuperSU by using the Super-Sume Pro app, pretty much just follow through the prompts in the app, but before you start be sure to disable Auto Updates in Kingroot first to prevent a possible conflict. The app will prompt you to reboot, which you can do.
Should have permanent root on your ZTE speed now, you can skip the last step if you like the Kingroot manager but generally people like Super SU better so I changed it to that (less janky).
Warning, if you screw any of this up there is no way to recover your ZTE speed so therefore you could end up with $20 brick.
Thank you, hope this helps someone out who has one of these in their junk drawer.

ZTE Warp 7 N9519 for Boost - THERE IS NOTHING ON XDA ABOUT THIS MODEL

I know this model is new, but how do we start a section for this model? It's a great phone with plenty under the hood. It seems to have an unlock oem bootloader option in the developer options. How can I root this phone, but more importantly, are there any custom ROMs which will work with it? Can there be some ported over? Any assistance appreciated.

I have this phone it seems unrootable. Help?
I know i have tge same device....someone getthis phone and help us...im stuck in the same spot.
I'm on the same page. Spent a few hours on trying to find a working root method but no success. However, King root, specifically version 4.1.0.703, worked for a bit then after close to 30 minutes, the phone restarted itself and was unrooted. I decided not to try it again especially since I just got this phone yesterday.
I have this phone too... Been all over the forums, all over xda university, and im still lost... If someone could give me a little direction, custom recovery or root access... Do i have to build from source? That seems a little above my pay-grade
so has anyone found a solution for rooting?
i looked at XDA a while back when i first got the phone but nothing.
ive been doing reaserch and placing my findings in a different androidforums.(website)
since i didnt see any options to post on here.
anyone wanna help us with info?
KingRoot works after a couple of tries, root access verified, but phone will reboot anywhere from 30 seconds to 30 minutes and root access is denied upon phone start. Haven't tried anything fancy in the little time I've had root access, then again I am not sure this phone is even compatible with custom recovery nor does it have any development of custom roms.. Wondering why the phone reboots and removed root, set SELinux to permissive to no avail, maybe there's a security package or two that could be disabled/blocked to prevent the phone from removing root access?
Really good phone for the money and the specs lend well to a debloated/custom ROM.. Not giving up on these lesser loved phones, finally got my S550TL rooted thanks to the helpful members here don't want to stop now lol.

Have you tried installing the su file with SuperSu before the device rebooted. Because when I had root for less than 10 minutes I checked to see if there was a su file installed and there wasn't any. Is like if KingRoot was simulating root access and didn't install the su file.

You should try installing the su file with SuperSu because KingRoot doesn't really install the su file and when the device reboots it removes all root access that KingRoot was simulating. I recommend getting root access with KingRoot then installing the su file with SuperSu and see if it works.
Has any one tried adding SuperSu after temp KingRoot? Or tried adding SuperSU and replacing KingRoot with Super-Sume Pro app?
Just tried Rooting with KingRoot thru APK and didn't even temp root

If KingRoot is not temp rooting your device just go to recovery and clear cache then it should work. Also I wanted to update the su file with SuperSU when I had temp root but I fear it might brick or something. I found out the su was located at sbin.
Are we getting anywhere on this? I really like this phone but i need to de-bloat

Not really, I just need someone to update the su binary with SuperSU once temp rooted with KingRoot to see if after that the root doesn't remove after reboot. Or maybe moving the Su file to xbin or bin since it is at sbin.
Tried to install binary through Chainfire SuperSU app and got the "binary update failed" message.
Weird how KingRoot simulates root access without installing any SU binaries, I was able to disable a few packages and verify root access through other apps until the phone restarted.
Can you flash an SU binary through flashify or similar app without restarting to bootloader/recovery (where root access is once again revoked)?
hmmm....thinking of using this as my next phone can anyone give info on a working Fastboot Mode? if there is then we can maybe do the same method of flashing a custom TWRP recovery in order to flash SuperSU
Really like this phone, just got it yesterday. I tried the temp root with kingroot and then after 5 or 10 minutes it rebooted. I'm a bit hesitant to download Flashify and try flashing as I do not know what will happen. But its a good start we have an entry point to work with :silly:

Actually it does install a su binary because when I go to sbin I see a su file there
I was able to confirm root after rooting with kingroot and i tried replacing it with SU but it fails and reboots. I'm very new to ZTE as this is my first phone. I wouldn't think obtaining permanent root would be super difficult since we are able to get some sort of root with king. I am no code expert either so I remain in the dark...

So I noticed something very helpful that will totally or maybe allow us to have permanent root. When I rooted with KingRoot I went to Superuser and it said that su binary can't be updated because of its location /sbin/su, so that shows that the su file needs to be at /xbin or /bin. We can try moving the su file to /xbin or /bin once we have temp root to see if it becomes permanent.

The average is about 5 minutes that it allows you to have root, sometimes it let's you even more but it reboots.
