Cannot Get Root Access After New ROM Installed

Hey Guys -

After being an iPhone fanboy for years, I recently went to Android to try something new. For two months, I've been running Revolution HD (4.3) on my HTC One - but - yesterday decided to give Venom ViperOne a try. I downloaded the latest version, booted to recovery (TWRP) wipred cache, and applied new ROM.

Everything seemed to work great, but after getting many things set up, I found out that I didn't have full root access. When laucnhing SuperSU, it said something like the binaries were not installed, but I finally got that to go away. Re-installing the binary via Recovery didn't fix everything, though.

I installed Root Checker Pro and here is what it said about my phone:

Root Access is not properly configured or was not granted.
Super User Application Status:
SuperSU application - version 1.69 - is installed!
System File Properties for Root Access:
Standard Location
Check Command: ls -l /system/bin/su:
Result: /system/bin/su: No such file or directory
Analysis: File /system/bin/su does not exist.
Standard Location
Check Command: ls -l /system/xbin/su:
Result: -rwxr-xr-x root root 104556 2013-11-17 20:25 su
Analysis: Setuid attribute is NOT present BUT root user ownership is present. Root access is NOT correctly configured for this file!
Alternative Location
Check Command: ls -l /sbin/su:
Result: /sbin/su: Permission denied
Analysis: File system permissions restricted and denied access.
Alternative Location
Check Command: ls -l /system/xbin/sudo:
Result: /system/xbin/sudo: No such file or directory
Analysis: File /system/xbin/sudo does not exist.
Root User ID and Group ID Status:
SU binary not found or not operating properly
System Environment PATH: /sbin /system/sbin /system/bin /system/xbin
ADB Shell Default User:
ADB shell setting for standard access, stored in default.prop, is configured as: root user - ro.secure=0


I have tried many suggestions and now have 3 different zip files for SuperSU that I've tried. I'm still researching, but any suggestions would be fantastic... Thanks!

Click build number at setting 7 times until it appear developer option, change root access to app and adb, see if that can solved your problem :)

Thanks for your reply. Fortunately, I finally fixed it by doing the following:
1. Uninstalled SuperSU via Play Store
2. Downloaded the 1.69 SuperSU update file and installed it through Recovery.
3. Re-installed SuperSU via Play Store

Once I did this, it verified working 100% again in apps as well as passed verification.

Thanks again for your help!

why are you sideloading superSU ?

just copy it to your phone storage and flash it with TWRP /CWM
"1.93"
Using CWM to do just that, flash 1.93 update to fix the fact that 'su' disappeared after KDZ update to ICS, trying go back to GB KDZ Stock has me stuck at LG logo. tried re-flashing a number of times...just going around in circles...
