Hello Professionals,
I have a question please. I rooted my phone using Rachmat3's guide [GUIDE] ROOT/UNROOT Stock ICS Firmware without flashing unsecure kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
I rooted it successfully but sometimes whenever i play some games (Asphalt 6 Adrenaline an example), this notification "shell has been granted super user permission" appears continuously for around 5 mins and when i check the superuser log, it allowed "shell" for more than a hundred times and i couldnt still open the game.
Here is my phone information.
Model number : GT-I9100
Android version : 4.0.3
Baseband version I9100XXLPX
Kernel version : [email protected] #3
What could be the reason of this? Any advice? Thank you.

it seems.... probably asphalt is infected with virus...
No, it's not a virus
It's an issue with SuperUser (specifics/details if you want to get technical can be found here somewhere if you do an XDA search). The easiest method to fix the issue without stuffing around is to install SuperSu from Google Play, update the binary on that app, then uninstall SuperUser & reboot.
That should solve the problem.
P.S - You could have found this solution by searching, this has been covered here more times than I've had hot dinners.
P.P.S - If the problem persists once you've done that (unlikely but possible), contact the developers of the apps in question. Clearly those apps are asking for root over & over (looping) when they shouldn't be.

Ok, i will try but i want to ask some more question for clarification.
1. I will install SuperSU as normal apk file?after that..
2. how do i remove my current superuser? i installed it using update from internal sd using recovery mode.
Thanks..
1. Go to Google Play (on your phone obviously; unless you want to do it from your PC & push it to your phone, which is a pain in the arse), search for SuperSu (free version) & install it like you would any other app from Google Play Re-read what I said to do after you install it, I'm not repeating it.
2. Settings/Apps/All - Uninstall SuperUser. Reboot.

I installed SuperSU from google play and updated binary files. Can't I just disable SuperUser and not uninstall it? Im afraid i cant unroot my phone using the method from Rachmat3's if i removed the superuser?

You can download Rom toolbox from the market and use it to uninstall SuperUser. now your root access will be from SuperSU.

Long time listener; first time caller.
Short version:
I rooted my SGSII with CF root. Everything seemed fine, but now any app that needs superuser permission says 'Superuser has stopped unexpectedly.' How can I fix it? Can I uninstall and reinstall Superuser?
Long version:
I loved the first galaxy. Then I moved to China. Really missing everything American, so I saved and bought an SGSII in China. Surprised to find no Android Market. Apparently Google and China don't like each other? My phone came with Superuser and Titanium Backup...I don't know what that means; I'm inexperienced at rooting. Used the wonderful instructions in the forums (genuinely appreciative; not sarcastic) to CF root my phone. Went smoothly; now I also have CWM app. But if I try to run CWM or Titanium Backup or anything else that requires Superuser permission, I get a vibrate then a double vibrate and a message that says 'superuser has stopped unexpectedly.' Superuser icon is still there; if I open it, it lists the one program I granted Superuser access to before rooting my phone (Market Enabler). Perhaps the problem is that a second Superuser was added over the first? How can I make Superuser work again? Sidenote, how can I install Android Market now?
I'm a new poster and can't post to development threads. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Thank you JJEgan for your reply! I have tried re-rooting it again, but I'm still having the same difficulty. If I try to open something that requires Superuser permission, I receive the message 'Superuser has stopped unexpectedly.' Also, when I open Superuser or try to search for an update, I get 'Checking available version failed.'
Can I fix this by removing superuser altogether, then flashing again to get the unbroken one back? If so, how can I remove Superuser? Can't seem to find an uninstall button....hahahahaha.
Again, thanks for any helpful ideas anyone has!
Needs to be removed from /system/app, which only a root user can do...
Perhaps you can go to settings, applications, manage apps, show all, clear for superuser, and this might stop it from crashing.
Again, Tonymy01, I greatly appreciate your reply! I have cleared the superuser data, but that didn't help. I also tried resetting to factory then rooting with cf again, but still I have no joy.
Would installing a new version of superuser over the old version solve my problem? Ugh.
A preemptive thanks for any suggestions anyone may have.

I'm in need of some kinda urgent help and advice regarding a phone i have just purchased for my mother.
I've bought her a cheap Daxian TD888 on the MTK6589 chipset and i'm afraid i have been a silly boy and not done my research before purchasing - I was under the impression that it came with the Play Store installed etc and sadly, it comes with a hard to use chinese ROM.
Mothers being mothers, mine isn't anywhere near tech/phone friendly and this is her first smartphone (upgrade from a 6 year old Nokia/symbian brick) so i was wanting to get her onto a nice and simple stock android 4.1 or 4.2 or even a CMxx that i can just help her along with.
After some very panic based searching today, i'm not seeing much that can help me... infact... nothing regarding this phone at all.
So... have I been a dumbass and bought her a lemon or is there anyone that can help me out with advice or pointers on how to get a normal android ROM on this thing?
I'm not massively experienced with rooting but have managed it a couple fo times in the past on my old Nexus One.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I could probably help you get it rooted and that would allow you to install Play store on it as well as delete any chinese apps that sometimes come on the MT65XX devices if interested. As far as the rom goes, is there not an option in settings to change language to English? I have bought a few MediaTek devices directly from china, when I received the phone it had english on it already but when I reset the phones I would have to go into Settings and change chinese language back to english.
Motochopper should root your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252248
One thing with these phones is that the android version is not always what is shown in Settings > About phone. Try using this tool from the first post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490&styleid=18
make sure you enable USB debugging on your phone first and it will help tell which version of android you are really running. If kernel say 2.6.xx you are on GB 2.3, if it is 3.0.xx then you are on ICS and if it says 3.4.xx then you are JB. I bought a MT6575 that said android version 4.0 in settings, it said gingerbread 2.2 on the box (I know 2.2 is Froyo), then on bottom of box it said Froyo 2.2!
Thanks Klown80 -
I'm just into work now so I'll have to hook it up to my own PC and root when i get home later... i'm just in full on panic mode over this (its a time sensitive issue as she's due to be in hospital for an extended period and i want to get this right for her before then)
Regarding the language settings in the current/stock rom, it has english US selected and while a lot of the language is in english, pretty much ALL popup dialogs are in chinese and the browser is unusable (all chinese text based) so... hence the panic.
I was (foolishly) thinking it would just be a simple enough flash to CM or stock android and hey presto - full english ROM.
I hate it when i don't do my homework first.
So... you recommend the root first, check exact android version number and go from there?
Even if it turns out to be an older 2.1/2.2/whatever version, i'd be happy enough to get something stock and full english based on there if its possible.
As she's never had a smart phone, it will all seem super smooth and flashy to her anyway.
I have now rooted (i think..) however, the superuser app comes up with an error upon opening -
superuser binary (su) must be updated

I have downloaded and tired various versions of the play store and while the at first allow me to enter google accounts details, it always crashes after that.
Every time i open the play store app, it just closes again.
Any suggestions on where i might be going wrong?

Sounds like you need to update the binary then, if it allows you. If not then the root did not correctly root your device and we will have to go back a step and get that fixed first. As for Play Store, it usually takes more than just the Play.apk file to put Play Store on your device if it did not come with it stock. You also need (I am going off top of my head, I can give you exact names later) Google services framework.apk, Google login services.apk, Google Play services.apk. You need to have root to to this because you will need to move the vending.apk to /system folder and possibly change permissions on the apk before you install it. Once we can confirm root I can help you install a working Play Store if you like.

I've no idea how to update the binary so I guess i'm looking at a re-root.
I have had the usual issues of drivers not wanting to work (the Motochopper root process getting stuck at the daemon starting point) but I've manged to get the process to work twice so far.
(I've tried 4 different driver packages and they have all given the same results)
Could you possibly advise on how to update the binary file for superuser? I've just tried the root again and it skipped installing superuser as it was already found on the phone.. i haven't felt this noobllike in some time!

Try uninstalliong Superuser or SuperSU and try again. Su binary should ask you if you want to update when you first open SuperSU, if you have Superuser, then you will need to open the app and go into settings to update binary.

It was aksing to try and update etc but its chashed every time - I was thinking that the root hadn't worked properly or something... anyway, I've uninstalled Superuser and reinstalled from a newer apk file (v3.2) i downloaded.
Its now running ok. Now that superuser is working... whats next?

Ok, is it just Superuser and not SuperSU correct? Can you go into settings in Superuser and towards the bottom there should be an option to update su binary. If it is SuperSU it will ask to update on its own when you open it. either way make sure it lets you update binary. Once binary is updated download and install any app that asks for root acces, so we can see if superuser request pops up.
Once we have confirmed root we can move onto installing Play Store. To do this you will need to be able to install a file explorer like ES file explorer so we can install the files we need for working Play Store.

In the superuser settings, there isn't anything apparent for trying to update the su binary.
the list reads as follows:
Security
Apps List
Log (on)
Notifications (on)
Backup apps/preferences

HUGE thanks to Klown80 for the advice and patience!
For anyone else in a similar situation with an MTK6589 cheapo phone, and had issues with the Motochopper root method (the root getting stuck at 'daemon started successfully' etc etc.....
Klown80's chinese root tool works a treat. You will have a chinese superuser app that may be a little annoying (you might be able to swap it for SuperSU or something but I had issues doing that so i've kept the chinese one) but the root works perfectly and the instructions given by Klown80 in the linked thread are very easy to follow.
I still had some issues with getting google services installed so you may want to look for a play store installer workaround - I know there is a cheeky little chinese mod apk that can be used to get the play store working, but i can't post it here.
Should anyone come across this thread and know of a good, stock english rom that I might be able to use, please leave a comment!

- CPU-Z (mobile) says that I have root
- AVG antivir (mobile) says theres root
- Avast! says there isnt
Which app would be most reliable?
How to check it without apps?

Could it be that its "rooted" (in the meaning of not locked), but without superuser app? So some apps checking for superuser (which isnt here) reporting its not rooted while others checking something else saying it is?
Kinda new to this, but could simply installing the superSU app solve the issue? Or well, could it actually break something if its installed on non rooted device?
Sorry for dumb questions but im really an first time android user

The apps are for rights management, for you to control which apps get su access and which apps don't.
You should be able to su from a terminal without the apps, but if you can, remember that other apps can do so as well without you knowing.

you can try the method from my group and let me know
What do you want to use root for ?
try the app that requires root (Titanium Backup? ROM Manager? etc? ), if it works, then you have root, if not, then not... who cares what the checker apps say....
I have searched the web for rooting this kind of phone, and I have not found anything. All I know is that it's possible, since this guy did it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2641478
I presume it's the same as for the older versions, but I want to make sure.

Thank you.
According to this: http://www.srsroot.com/\supported your device is supported.
And how does this work?
This does not work, I tried it, and it said the rooting was complete. After I tried to install some root apps, they did not work. So I tried it again, but it says that I do have root access.
Hmm. Which superuser app did it install? It's not uncommon to need to either update the superuser app and / or update the SU binary (should prompt through the app if needed). Go to the Play Store and see if there is an update to the app, then open it and see if it prompts you to update the binary as well. If you don't have the Play Store on your device, just let me know which version of the SU app was installed and I'll see if there's is an update available. I don't get the chance to mess with many off brand products like this, so do not have direct experience, just tons of android experience in general.
Found some more info from a random Russian site (via Google Translator) http://translate.google.com/transla...rch?q=prestigio+duo+5450+CWM&espv=2&es_sm=122

I used SRSroot if that is what you are asking.
If you are asking about what app I downloaded to test it, I used titanium, which told me that it could not access the root. I just downloaded it.

No, was referring to which Superuser app was installed during the root process. Typically this should be either Koush's SuperUser or Chainfire's SuperSU. And test with another app as Titanium can be a little weird with root access on some devices as well as needing Busybox to run properly and not all root methods also set up Busybox. Try any of these: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=rootchecker

Hello,
I have Prestigio Multiphone PAP4300 DUO, I tried all rooting crap and it didnt work. BUT one did worked. It is used on PC. You connect your phone to pc and then run the program, and choose which method you want to use(depends on phone). After some tries it worked. I dont remember what was the software called, but if I find it, I will surely edit my post.
There was no program installed during the rooting process.

Then VERY unlikely it worked. You can doublecheck and install this and see what it says: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu . It'll most likely say you are missing the SU binary and fail to install it for you without proper root. Other options include CWM recovery and a custom prerooted rom.
Rooting
If you still nid a root for PAP5450Duo I have this phone and this root app worked: download Framaroot 1.9.3 (use the Boromir exploit).
I rooted my phone using kingroot before and after removing al root authorization i found that kingroot has been installed as system app
also whenever i open the kingroot app it restarts my phone
how could i completely remove it
there's also the problem of the phone not able to connect to google play store (no connection, cannot login account)
my phone is NTT Docomo Sony Xperia SO-O4E
tried factory reset twice, deleting cached apps data, still doesnt work
a basic rundown on how it all happened :
-uninstall some bloatware from phone
-phone starts to restart randomly
-deleted cached apps data, no more random restart
-remove kingroot root auth and uninstall
-found out that phone cannot connect to play store, also kingroot has installed itself as system app

If your bootloader is already unlocked, the easiest way would be to restart the phone in fastboot mode, then boot (you don't need to flash it) TWRP and install SuperSU from a flashrecovery zipfile. This will remove kingroot app and running processes (mind you, there may be some dead kingroot traces left over on the filesystem - if you want to remove these too, you'll have to do so from a shell with root permissions). I haven't tried this with the Sony Xperia ZR/NTT Docomo Sony Xperia A (SO-04E), but it seems to work with most phones that are supported by TWRP. I wrote a short guide on how to do this (it's for a different device but these steps should be mostly generic if you have the necessary prerequisites in place).
Another good thing about SuperSU is that if you don't wish to keep root, it will remove itself cleanly and completely from your system (you'll find the unroot option in the apps settings). If however you would like to keep root, then SuperSU is an app that doesn't spy on you and doesn't phone home (I did a thorough check of the shell script used to install SuperSU and a rough check of the SuperSU apk using strings and wireshark only yesterday and as far as I could tell, it doesn't attempt to do anything malicious or touch files that it doesn't need to touch for its purpose, nor did it start a single internet connection by itself). The automatic NVISO analysis at https://apkscan.nviso.be/report/show/99a7841aa3eeaefa69f767602b0c454c confirms this too. Just saying this in case you decided to move away from root due to spyware concerns.
TWRP is an open source project. Their Homepage is https://twrp.me/
The TWRP image files for your device arel located here https://dl.twrp.me/dogo/
SuperSU homepage is https://www.chainfire.eu/ , the latest flashrecovery zipfile can be found here http://www.supersu.com/download
Both projects also have their own sections here on xda.
SuperSU also has it's own sections here on xda.

Was this problem related to the rooting process in any way?
Does your internet access work otherwise?
What happens exactly when you start google play?
hi, thank you for the reply
the phone has only been rooted once with kingroot app, which i have removed (both the supposed app and the root auth), but kingroot app installed itself as system app without my permission and whenever i open the app my phone reboots
i'll try looking for ways to flash the phone
as for the play store, it always show the no connection screen even though i can browse the internet without any problem
i tried following the steps from google help page but it doesnt seem to do anything
i'm thinking that the hosts.txt file cause this so im trying to delete it, but i found no other way to delete it without rerooting my phone
i tried factory reset twice but it doesnt seem to help either
thanks before and sorry for the late reply
EDIT : i dont think i can unlock the bootloader officially so i need an exploit

In that case, you will have to root first. Once having gained root access you can unlock the bootloader. To root, you can either use the kingroot app you used before (not much to loose, since you already installed it and its spyware the first time, and you will later be able to remove it with SuperSU). Or you can try towelroot, although if your smartphone has seen firmware updates, that will propably no longer work. There may be other, more current options - search trough the Xperia ZR Section.
Once you have root, you can use adb and fastboot to boot the latest TWRP for Sony Xperia ZR, then install the latest SuperSU recovery flashable zip. Using that you can completely remove Kingroot even as a system app and afterwards remove SuperSU itself, which will cleanly uninstall itself via Settings.
Code:
as for the play store, it always show the no connection screen even though i can browse the internet without any problem
i tried following the steps from google help page but it doesnt seem to do anything
i'm thinking that the hosts.txt file cause this so im trying to delete it, but i found no other way to delete it without rerooting my phone
i tried factory reset twice but it doesnt seem to help either
I would try the above first, see if the playstore works again after you SuperSU has completely removed Kingroot (reboot), and if it doesn't take a look at the hosts file. Then uninstall SuperSU when you don't need root anymore...
I can help along with adb/fastboot commands, but you need to root your device first (and install the necessary drivers for your phone on your computer).
Good luck!
