[Q] SU Binary error upon Execution: No root access

[androidiphonehacker]

Info: For those of you who need more info on my SU Binary (/system/bin/su), it's NOT out of date. Its the newest version for galaxy s4 m919.

My problem: /system/bin/su (SU binary files) will not execute.

Why?...: Because, access to execute binary files on system is denied (I don't have root access/permission). EEEK.


here's the Logs from root checker Pro: (In no particular order)-

SuperSU application - is NOT installed.
SuperUser - Installed!

more details

Extra info that I didn't include: I originally WAS rooted, running stock Samsung ROM (factory ROM) and I rooted using ODIN. So after rooting, I installed CyanogenMod 10.1.3.1, which does not come with root installed by default.

*SIGH* So... I want to know how to root CyanogenMod... So supposedly following the instructions by Root checker pro Logs,
I need to execute /system/bin/su. (Which won't work, unless a magical "S-Off" appears so I can execute it. But, then executing would be pointless because I would be already rooted with S-Off.

Help please, anyone? Could I root cyanogenmod from the computer terminal? Is there a way to override system permissions and execute su binary?

As per all your other post. Have you enable Root in Developer Options? CM ROM now has root disable by default.

Root options...

Root options in CyanogenMod Developer Options are not displayed in my settings...
What exactly does the toggle panel say for it? I can take a screenie of my settings..?

sorry for my ignorance with CyanogenMod... The last time I flashed CyanogenMod
was with CyanogenMod version 5, lol. And that was 3 years ago (I had an HTC Inspire 4G)

System Settings, About Phone, tap on the build number repeatedly until it enables Developer Options. Press back, tap Developer Options. Change Root Access to 'Allow ADB & Apps.'

Let's hope this is the last thread you start for awhile. Search for these answers, they have been answered already ;]

Well then. That was not so loving and friendly. Lol. And I have done so, btw.. My developer options are enabled, but the root access panel is not
In there. infact, there was a new section called "SuperUser", and I had set the root access panel to "Allow ADB and Apps" like you said.
But in return, no cigar. No root rights, even still. :/

Same here I'm using beanstalk 4.3 and most of the root apps work but some don't for example gamekiller, the few times I installed it it denied it before the prompt window popped out then after a few tries it finally granted it but before I pressed grant it said WARNING GAMEKILLER HAS A COMMAND (not sure about that part) android.permission.ACCESS_SUPERUSER not declared so I went into super user settings and I checked that option so I tried searching a value number and as soon as I press search it doesn't do anything then I press help and it tells me it needs root access which has been give

Yay.

I've flashed that in CM10 ROM several times, and no root. But no worries, I'm running an awesome, fast, great battery life AOSP Based ROM (Completely AOSP, actually) and it comes rooted

The ROM is actually solely based off of googles open source code from android 4.3, with a few of the major components hand-picked from other Dev sources. The ROM is called-
Google Edition s4

For all who wish to download this as well as I did, here's the link to this epic ROM:

Thanks

Thank you, this method worked for me. So much misinformation out there, I tried like 20 other bogus remedies before this. I could hug you.

same problem

I rooted my phone before,then I unroot it. But now when I am trying to root it again I'm facing same problem with superuser, it's saying that su binary is outdated and its not updating also, and I don't have root permission so that I can fix it with several methods which I found by google it.
