SU Binary NOT Found and No Root after Rooting

[redeem4]

I'm kinda stumped on what to do here and I've been scouring through threads for a couple hours trying to find similar issues to fix this on my own, so I've joined the forum asking for your help!

Well I supposedly rooted my phone by doing the Motochopper method and it fails now whenever I try to re-root the phone at the very end of the code even though it installs super user anyways. I should have all the drivers installed on my computer and I even uninstalled those drivers and reinstalled them and even did a wipe on my phone.

Then when I try to open Super User, it tells me that my SU Binary is outdated and needs updating. I try and update it and I get an error message. This is pretty much where I'm stuck at. I've installed a bunch of different things trying to get this to work properly and nothing just yet.

You probably applied the latest OTA update from about a week ago, which patched motochopper's rooting method. "Kingo" root (Google it) works even after the update.

You may want to skip kingo for now. XDA considers it malware.

Kingo's response (I don't want to see a company that provides a valuable service being accused of something they're not):

xda-developers - View Single Post - PSA: Kingo and vRoot determined to be malware [UPDATE 8 DEC]

Same here but links to kingo are still banned on XDA. Regardless of their excuse, the software was sending IMEI numbers to China.

ok, well I tried this out and it worked. Thanks for the help since this was starting to get pretty frustrating.

All this malware talk is a bit concerting though.
