[Q] superuser not giving root access. How to fix?

[jiteshpabla97]

i reverted back to the official sony ics recently(by a generic file) then i wasnt able to root using the doomlord's toolkit, so i flashed mesa hybrid kernel v4.2, and I rooted my phone.

I have superuser installed, but it is not granting root access to any app. Please help

I already tried to root again, and clearing data and force closing the superuser app, but it's still not working...

Not rooted correctly , flash kernel from 4.1.A.0.562 firmware then try rooting your phone .

Reflash the kernel or replace superuser with SuperSU

I tried to root it with the ray's .562 kernel, but the root fails. It says it doesnt have permission, as system/"blah blah" is read only...i also tried lww's .431 kernel, but still didn"t work.

and i even tried super user su, didn't help

sidenote:I can't do anything "root related" as i dont get any permissions, so should I flash another kernel or rom to root? is this even possible?

Did you checked UNKNOWN SOURCES & USB Debugging on your phone ? Did your pc has the driver of your phone ? If not, you can install the driver from here http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390362690511176454 . Thanks to DooMLoRD .

Say byebye to the root.
Reflash Rom, then reflash kernel.again.
Do not do rooting stuff as it is for locked bootloader.
Since your BL is unlocked.
Flash kernel has pre-rooted feature.
Good luck.

Next time, you could just install custom kernel, download a rooting flashable zip file and install it via kernel's Recovery. I do it often, because I prefer to use Clockworkmod's Superuser and by that zip file, I avoid any kind of problems.

superuser not prompting or updating

ok so ive rooted my lg g2, and i have root access through apps, but superuser isnt at all prompting for superuser access, also when i try updating the binary it says: making sure new su works.....fail. now I know thats probably no problem, but I dont know what to do to get superuser to promp or work correctly, Im not sure this matters or not, but I would like it to work. if anyone can help i'd greatly appreciate it.
