Nothing is lost expect warranty.

You can use SuperSU instead. Install it, update the binary and uninstall superuser when asked.

1. Install SuperSU from Play Store and open it.
2. You will asked to update the binary, so hit yes.
3. Then it will ask you on how do you update binaries. Choose Normal.
4. The Superuser prompt will appear, choose grant/yes.
5. Wait.
6. A popup will appear that asks you to uninstall other superuser app and choose yes.
7. (Optional) Go to the settings tab, find System and tap on the Install SuperSU into /system.

You don't need to open that file. Just go to recovery mode and flash it. By the way if you want to open ot you can use any explorer app like rootexplorer, es file explorer ans etc.

Hey guys, so I followed all the steps and when I rebooted my phone I had the super user app, so at first I thought I had succeeded. However, when I opened it, I got a notification saying that my su binary was outdated, so I went on to the play store and updated super user. After this, I thought everything was sorted, but when I downloaded superSU, it displayed the following message: "There is no su binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!" So, then I really was confused and downloaded root checker which says that my phone does not have proper root access. Someone then suggested I download a root-only app to see if it fixes it, so I downloaded Titanium Backup, but it says it cannot acquire the proper root privileges. Essentially, I rooted my phone, but my device seems to be exactly the same as it was before, except with the super user app!
Is my phone rooted or not? How do I fix this?

Don't use supersu - The playstore version doesnt work very well with our phone

Use superuser by chainsdd

Uninstall any superuser app and flash my zip in cwm with system mounted

You can check if your phone is rooted either by using an app that requires root permissions or by using a root checker app from playstore

Thanks a lot. Just to clarify: I should first uninstall superSU and super user. And then reinstall superuser using your zip that you posted?
I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to these things; what do you mean when you say "in cwm with system mounted"?

Thanks again :)

It is best to uninstall any other super user/supersu app to avoid conflicts however if you installed it as a system app by flashing a zip you will need root to uninstall it either with an app like link2sd or manually with a root browser
If you dont have root it will be fine to flash my zip and remove any duplicates after

Cwm is clockwork mod recovery and you use it to flash zips and it replaces stock recovery
There are two types of cwm
Permanent - cwm is built into a custom kernel and replaces stock recovery
Temporary - cwm has to be flashed via a zip in stock recovery - it doesn't replace stock recovery so needs to be flashed each time its required

If you don't have cwm you can flash the following cwm in stock recovery (note this cwm is only for use with gingerbread based rom and will not work with cm11)

Temp cwm5
http://d-h.st/u2m

Goto mounts and storage and mount system and data (if system is mounted it will display "unmount system" same with data)
Once system and data is mounted you can flash any zip

    Root your Galaxy Y

    Rooting is the first step to customise your device. Without rooting absolutely 'extraordinary' nothing is possible. Yes your warranty becomes void after that. So what?? You can always get it back after unrooting it. So chill. No matter where you read that its very risky or something like that, I'll say refrain from going to those sites. They are just putting unnecessary fear into your mind. Most probably they fear you could make your device function better than them. :D;) So lets go on with it. I've made it simple for you. Just follow the steps. :)

    1. Charge your device more than 80%. Coz you still have a lot of work to do...

    2. Backup your contacts, messages, apps and everything you want. For the contacts and messages you can just about use anything off the Play Store with a few stars and good reviews. But for the apps I would personally recommend the Astro app. Yes I know what you want to ask. It's free..;)

    3. Download the zip file for root and place it directly on your SD card, not in any folder. Do not extract it.

    4. Switch off your phone.

    5. Press the Home button, Power button and the Volume Up button and keep holding it until the Samsung logo appears. Now let go of the buttons. You will see that some writings have come in red colour. This is called the Recovery Mode. Your touch screen wont work now. So don't panic if you touch the screen and nothing happens. Only the volume buttons, home button and the power buttons work now. Volume buttons for going up and down. Home button for selecting and Power key for going back to previous screen.

    6. Select 'Apply update from sd card'.

    7. Choose the file that you have downloaded and select yes.

    8. After that you'll be taken to another screen where there will be an option 'Reboot system now'. Select it and be patient and wait for your phone to switch on.

    9. Check your apps and if you see the Superuser app, it means you are rooted. :D

    10. Now open it and update the binaries.

    That's it. You are good to go. The proud owner of a rooted SGY. :good::laugh:
