Cannot get SU binary to install. Have tried flashing multiple versions of SuperSU.

Like the title says, I am currently unlocked, and have CWM touch installed and all that's left to do is flash SuperSU so that I can get root access. I just tried flashing the most recent zip for SuperSU (1.86) and I get the error when I open up the application for some reason.
"There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This Is a problem!
If you upgraded to Android 4., you need to manually reroot - consult the relevant forums for your device."
I am on 4.3 and I have tried this. but I cannot get my One to be recogized as an adb device. I mean, when I run ADB Devices command in cmd prompt, it shows up with the ID number and everything, but when I send a command in Hasoon 2000's toolkit, it just shows an error: device offline.
USB Debugging is enabled, tried many different USB ports, rebooted phone and PC, nothing. What can I do to get my device online again!?
Please, If there is anyone that can help me fix these two problems, I will love you forever.

[Guide] LG Optimus Tag F120 JB 4.1.2 Root & Recovery

Hi there fellows,
So I was having trouble installing recovery on my F120K updated to V30D because the second init recovery does not work in that version. So I just took those already cracked bootloader.img and recovery.img from "crackbootloader and install cwm.zip" and made a small utility you can run on your windows PC to install custom recovery on your phone.
First of all use this Framaroot.apk to root your device. Use the Gandalf patch. After rooting restart your phone and open SuperSU at least once and if it asks update the su binary.
After doing that enable USB Debugging from Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging
Now download cwm_ics_jb_F120.zip and extract it somewhere. Then open RunMe.bat and keep an eye on your phone. When it asks Allow the ADB super user permissions.
After installing cracked bootloader and recovery your phone will automatically reboot into recovery.
You can boot into recovery by pressing Volume UP + Volume Down + Power
Note: All credits go to the original developer who made the cracked bootlader and recovery in "crackbootloader and install cwm.zip" I just made a utility to install them nothing more.
Root: Framaroot.apk
Recovery: cwm_ics_jb_F120.zip

Close Kingroot, open Task manager and make sure adb.exe and kingroot.exe are closed
Open Kingroot and re-root again
Kingroot will tell you that your phone is successfully rooted
is there any recovery for E4 ?
This phone is dead
No root and no custom recovery

[GUIDE] Root SM-J100VPP (Verizon) without ODIN [DEC 2017]

I have found a way to root the Samsung Galaxy J1 (SM-J100VPP, Verizon) without needing to flash modified, rooted firmware using ODIN. I do not know if this unlocks the bootloader. Maybe someone can reply with an answer.
1. Make sure ADB/USB debugging is turned on. Settings > about phone > tap on 'build number' seven times to enable developer options.
2. Tap back button once and tap developer options. Make sure the box next to 'USB Debugging' has a check mark.
3. Plug your phone into your PC and open up an ADB window.
4. Download and install the Hidden Menus APK attached to this post, located at the bottom of the thread. (If using ADB to install, place the APK in your ADB folder and open an ADB command window and type: adb install HiddenMenus.apk)
5. Open the Hidden Menus app and scroll until you see 'Rlz Debug UI' and tap on it.
6. Where it says 'OEM Mode', make sure 'on' is selected (tap the circle next to OEM Mode to turn it on).
7. Go to my Google Drive, download and install 'android_root.exe'. This will install an older version of KingoRoot onto your PC.
8. Open KingoRoot for PC and connect your phone to the PC.
9. At the very bottom, left corner of the KingoRoot for PC window, make sure to UNCHECK the box that says 'install recommended app'.
10. Click on root and let KingoRoot root your phone.
Replace KingoRoot with SuperSU
I don't like one-click-root apps. I don't trust them. So whenever possible, I try to find methods to install SuperSU. Below is a guide to replace KingoRoot with SuperSU. The method in this thread works and only consists of a few steps. First you'll need to go to the KingoRoot homepage and download the APK for Android and install it. Then follow the steps below:
1. Delete/Uninstall Kingouser, but keep Kingoroot. DON'T reboot your device
3. Install SuperSU apk from flashable zip v2.79 (APK provided by me, attached at the bottom of this thread).
4. Launch it, press "continue" and "normal" wait until the update is successful. (You might have to close the SuperSU app and reopen it to complete this step).
5. Reboot and uninstall Kingoroot.
Thanks everyone. I really love this little phone!
ok, so all that has happened here IS. you happened to have a samsung galaxy j1 sm-j100vpp verizon prepaid phone that happened to NEVER be updated to the unpatchable 5.1.1 and you rooted the existing firmware that we all have to downgrade to, to be able to root. And to answer your question about the boot loader.... NO, flashing or MODIFYING the firmware has nothing to do with the boot partition.
BUT. the super su replacement has caught my eye and is how i found this post. I will check the work and report back. this would be a huge step forward in creating a 32 bit custom twrp as the chipset in this phone only supports 32 bit and is why twrp (cwm similar etc....) does not work on this device. i have noticed another samsung device that has "alot" of the same chipsets but still supports 64 bit and has a promising twrp I may be able to compile as a 32 bit only recovery img. after that. its smooth sailing.

How to put Alcatel A564C into EDL mode Pop Icon

Hello.
This post describes how to reboot the Alcatel OneTouch Pop Icon A564C Yaris5NA into EDL mode. This can be achieved without root. It can happen on both Windows and Linux computers. It requires ADB to work.
1. Go into settings and "About phone" and tap the build number "01001" for about seven times.
2. Go into "Developer options" and enable "USB Debugging".
3. To install ADB drivers on Windows Vista, look for "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" on XDA and download extract and run the exe file. Do not forget to install Google drivers. On Linux, just install adb through terminal.
4. On Windows, go into "Device Manager" in Windows and look for "Android device" with a yellow triangle with an exclamation point. You may have two of these on your computer, so be sure to install drivers to both devices to avoid any error.
5. Right click on these devices and the menu appears hit "Update driver", than select browse my computer for drivers and eventually show all devices. Find the Google Inc. drivers and install one of three drivers; the "Android ADB interface" should work, but you may have to use the "Android Composite interface".
6. Go open CMD or Terminal and type adb devices. You will receive "Enable USB Debugging?" on your A564C phone so be sure to check the box and press Enable.
7. Now check adb connection by typing "adb devices", and the device should appear in the terminal; there should be letters and numbers on the left and authorized on the right.
8. Now type "adb reboot edl" to send the device into Emergency DownLoad mode. When you look on Windows a box appearing with QualComm HS-Loader 9000 (COM4) drivers will have installed. Look into Device Manager under ports (the serial cable icon)
Well, if you have this phone A564C and would like to develop on it, this guide may have motivated you to do make custom software. I think the only way to flash firmware is through QFIL program on Windows. Now we are looking for a FireHose programmer for the device in an attempt to unlock the bootloader the way the new ZTE method is described. My goal is to find the right FireHose programmer and to examine the partition manager and edit the bootloader to unlock it, or perhaps a way to somehow put the su binary in the /system/bin folder, or put a custom recovery on the device. That is my goal.
Here is my background on my device:
I have owned the Alcatel OneTouch Pop Icon A564C for over a year. I have read the posts describing many users who do not have enough space on their internal storage and that is why they need root. I have also read KingRoot can root but for me it is the opposite. I had tried rooting many times with the KingRoot. When the metre reaches a certain point, usually 18% or 70%, the phone crashes and reboots automatically or freezes and requires holding the power button to reboot. The phone is seemingly unable to root. Last week I acheived a true temp root that was lost upon reboot; the way I did it I installed KingRoot apks I downloaded from AndroidFileHost in order from oldest to newest, ran them once for reboot, then proceeded to uninstall each one and reinstall the newer KingRoot. I had noticed a phenomenon when using a newer KingRoot than going to KingRoot 4.1 I received root failed and it went back to 70% and I achieved temp root that way. I than restarted the phone in order to restart the method after a data wipe.
I then thought if there were other ways to root a phone other than using one-click rooting methods such as KingRoot. The phone was manufactured about six years ago, so it is old enough that exploits could potentially root it. I had tried Framaroot and Towelroot; both did not work. I installed a DirtyCow checker apk and it said the phone was patched, so I assume an exploit based on DirtyCow would not work. There may be one more method to finally allow root; it is called QuickRoot a Proof-of-Concept root for Android devices. It may work on older devices, but I do not know how to compile for Android 4.4.2.
