i have been using cyanogen mod 7 [most recent], its been great, no complaints. all of a sudden my superuser app stopped working, i use titanium back up frequently and cant get into it because superuser isn't working. any ideas or has this happened to anyone else?
its known, my fix for me was uninstall update in market then do the update again, and all will work
i dont think i ever did an update from the market i just used the one that came with rooting my device, i went to the market and saw it said "update" i did and was unsuccessful "package file was not signed correctly".
so check this out, idk wat happened, but now its working, i went into manage apps and cleared data for su, tried this app from market called su update fixer but it said my signatures failed so i figure doesnt work uninstall fast, su update wouldnt let me update from market either, i went into titanium and successfully got granted su rights, incredible! thanks for the help. hope it stays working now
If it stops again try going into rom manager and fix permissions, that's what did the job for me

Hi guys I rooted my desire using the live cd method, powered up my phone before installing a2sd and I could see all of my download history on the market with access to all apps. After this I booted into recovery using step2 on the live cd and installed A2SD. When I turned the phone on again all of the download history was gone and I can't see apps like Google Earth, National Rail etc.
I thought I did something wrong so I wiped the device and installed the rooted rom update again with a2sd at the same time. The problem still exists and nothing has changed.
Could you please help me because this is very annoying and I cant set up my phone the I want until this is resolved.
Very strange... Use Market enabler > http://market-enabler.googlecode.com/files/MarketEnabler_latest.html
install, apply new settings and reboot, problem solved
Thanks for the suggestion but the market enabler doesn't solve it, I tried it.
Another strange thing that I found is I have an .apk of CoPilot which I was using before rooting and when I tried installing it now it gives me an error "Application not installed".
I still haven't solved this problem and its really bugging me.
I un-rooted my phone and used a different google account with no luck. I still don't see some applications in the market.
Just to let you know I am in the UK using a generic sim free desire on 3 network. Could you please, please, please help me out. I am running out of options and I thought unrooting would fix it.
Weird issue you are describing. As far as I know it depends on the fingerprint of the build.prop in the ROM (and if Google added it to the white list(?)) or not.
Many people are using the rooted ROM (all the same build.prop) and they can access protected apps just fine. So probably the problem lies elsewhere.
I have a similar problem, before I rooted my device I could see all apps I bought in my g1 days. After I rooted first of all none showed up, after a day or so only a few showed up... rebooted a few more times (only ever flashed once using Windows with apps2sd) now I have a few I had before show up not all just a few and thats how its been since. weird. I had half results :/

Same problem here with one single application.
Had SlideIT paid version installed on stock firmware.
Once i rooted it gave me the message "application not installed" once i tried to install it.
Funny enough the SlideIT lite version is still able to install fine.
Definitely want it to work again, so i hope someone knows how to fix it
I tried a couple of different ROMs today and had this same problem, clicking My Downloads would just show a blank screen, and there was no "Top Paid Apps" tab. I tried unrooting, rerooting, nothing fixed it, until I found this;
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=1ea082d443f3d16c&hl=en
Pushing that xml file (note the spelling mistake before you do it) fixed it all back up, no idea what caused it to get all messed up and why it wasn't fixed by wiping and reflashing.

I tried to push the file via adb shell in windows and got permission denied. Am I doing it right or do I need to root the phone again to be able to push that file because I have reverted back to the generic stock rom?
Mine was rooted when I pushed it, try re-rooting it and pushing it again I guess.
I finally got around to re-rooting it and tried your solution with pushing that file but no change to my market
Just to be clear I can see the Top Paid apps tab, but I cant access copy protected apps like Google Earth.
I installed a rom that was based off the released 2.2 that was released on Friday. I had root already and everything worked fine no problem. I flashed the latest radios and wimax and really nothing else. Well today I went to use Titanium Backup and it wouldn't run; just got a black screen. got the FC message. I then tried to use QuickBoot to reboot and that also didn't do anything. I manually powered off and rebooted and still the same actions from both apps. I then tried Wifi tether and that wouldn't start the sharing. Said that it was unable to Start. I think at that point my root access wasn't working properly. I looked at the Superuser permission app and it looked ok. I then tried another app that required root called Ad-Block and it said that it couldn't get root access.
The only way to get the apps working again was to flash the same rom I flashed on Friday. All apps are working fine after the re-flash.
Anyone else have this?

That is possible. I had the same issues. To get the ad-free host files in, I had to do it in recovery mode and push the files which is like having the nand lock. I try to do some programs that require root and it reboots the phone.
I've previously had root working on this rom, but after I tried Virtuous I decide to return back to it and since I can't get it to be fully functional without workarounds.
I'm running 1.83.415.2 ARA rom with S-OFF.
Presently I'm using the Visionary App to root which works just fine.
My problem comes where I will use an app that requires root like Titanium. Superuser will work the first time but if I use it for another app it Force Closes immediately. A workaround is to clear data on the Superuser app and it will work again for one app and force close for the rest.
My fix. Was uninstall update in market then reinstall and got it working fine, have Fc on anything I notice atleast
What version of Superuser do you have? I don't have any updates from the market installed.
Searched around and found this fix that took care of it.
I'm running CM7 #211 and yesterday my SUperuser app decided to RANDOMLY auto update itself. I didnt even know you could download the superuser app from the Market. Now all my apps are force closing. I uninstalled the update but my ROM is still F'd force closing on everything. I've tried clearing both caches and fixing permissions and it's still messed up. Any ideas? HOW DO I GET SUPERUSER TO NOT AUTO UPDATE?
I wiped my phone and restored to a backup last week and everything seems fine for the moment.... I just need to figure out how to force the market not to auto update any of my apps.
Since froyo rolled out, you have an option in the market to auto update. The part that sucks is this is within each app so if you have thirty apps, then you have to go into all thirty apps in the market and de-select the auto update option.
And yes, SU has been available for some months in the market as well as in XDA.

im running CM7 nightly 211 with the newest SU and it works just fine. if you go to the SU app and update the binary it will fix all the FC.
The latest night will have the updated binary and SU in the zip.
Update the binary? Is that done from within the superuser app?

yep go to the app. click menu button then preferences.
at the bottom you will see "tap to check for updates"
that way you can enjoy the new app and have the new binary's. without breaking CM7
Thanks I'll try that.
In TB you can disassociate apps from the market which is very handy so those you don't ever want to update such as themed or custom.

My superuser app was also auto-updated contrary to my will, i feel raped
First i need to say that everything in the update went fine, updated superuser app and binary are up and working OK.
But regarding what you said, i have eclair 2.1 and so i have the old Market 2.3.6. I also have the option "Allow automatic updating" present in all of my apps, so i can use it or not, it is up to me.
BUT the problem is that in Superuser app this option is not available. See pics:

PS:
Add the "h" to "ttp" to get "http" and complete image link.
The XDA forum board don't let me put images, it says"to prevent spam new users cant post links..." or something That's okay but, in my opinion, links inserted in between [image] should be permitted.
EDIT: ALL OK NOW. When version 3.04 appear in Market, it also appears the option "Allow automatic updating", so know i can uncheck it if i want, and i did...

On my phone superuser doesn't show up in titanium backup. While other system apps show up in red. If anyone knows a way to make superuser show up in titanium please post it.
Guys, stop freaking out about the SU update. Just do like Synisterwolf said. You'll be fine.
Getting constant f/c on mine, even get them after clicking to update the binary.
Looking over the reviews for SU in the Market many are running into this problem with the latest update.
I had no issues with the update in CM7 but updating past SU app 3.0.2 and binary v2.3.2 running McSense 2.4 was a whole 'nother story. Basically locked down every root permissions app on my phone. Was able to nandroid back to 3.0.2 and disable updating in the market for that ROM. I'll just ignore the nag until the next update.
daj
BTW how are more people not talkign about this? Just about every review across many different roms and phones says the same thing:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/superuser/com.noshufou.android.su
I have no idea if this will help anyone with the SU program or not, or what effects it might have on certain roms.
So after hearing about the force closing on SU I grabbed my phone which I had just updated the binarys on the other day, and today installed a SU update. FC's all over the place as been described. No way to uninstall it from the market, (didn't try the main applications app) so I went to my astro program and from there I was able to uninstall it....well not the entire thing I guess but just the latest updates.
I can now enter back into it without it FC on me. I went to market and made sure auto update was now off and didn't update it when prompted as you open the app.
Seems to work now but I honestly never use it per se unless it prompts me to grant SU permissions when doing something else, so ymmv if doing as I did.
Just thought I'd put it out there in case it helped some folks.
Updated the app to 3.0.5. As long as I don't update the binary past 2.3.2, I'm good running McSense 2.4.

It's very likely that you won't. For me, 3.0.4 worked for the most part, but it never worked with adbWireless. I updated to 3.0.5 and started getting very frequent force closes. Superuser 3 is not ready for prime time. I'm back to superuser 2.3.6.3 su binary 2.3.2 and will stay there for a while.
Ok people this will fix the FC on superuser 3.0.5 with binary 3.0!!!!!
1. Go setting/application/manage applications and clear data on superuser
2. Go to market and install update
3. open superuser and preferences change automatic response to "allow"
The list will not show apps but log will and the first time the app accesses little lag but no FC.
Not sure if you already installed 3.0.5 if will fix... Can try clearing data and then change automatic response.
Tanks RL.
I read something like that lastt night and changing it to "allow" fixed the f/c for me.
But this whole thing is so stupid. So many times someone takes something that is perfectly fine and updates it till it is broken. If it's not broke don't fix it. Especially something as important as this.

Tried again using this except I uninstalled all updates first. Everything looked OK at first but I started getting FCs when opening TiBU. Cleared data for both SU and TiBU and tried again and it worked fine but as I started opening other root apps, the FCs came back. YMMV

Update 2: Root was still acting wonky. I was getting multiple requests per app and it wasn't remembering my preference even with the box checked. I tried to allow all but it just wouldn't work at all that way. So I went to update the binaries just to be sure and I had version 3.2 while the latest (and I'm assuming stable) version is only 3.1.1. So if anyone has the problems I did, UPDATE YOUR BINARIES! That fixed everything for me.
Update: I uninstalled the Superuser apk via ES File Explorer, reinstalled it from the Play Store, and just let the phone sit while I was browsing and looking for an answer and when I went back to it Superuser opened and my root was back. I'm not sure if what I did helped but if anyone else has this problem then I can only recommend what I did. If someone can explain what I did wrong or why I lost root, that would still be helpful. If this post needs to be deleted then the mods can do so, I left it in case anyone else runs into this and searches the forums for it.
I have the At&t ion and I managed to get root on ICS on my second try. I was happy about it and decided to start flashing some zips after installing CWM so I deodexed, rebooted, and then flashed one of the status bar tweaks. When I rebooted again Superuser would force close as soon as it opened with the message "Unfortunately Superuser has stopped working". I still have root access in ES File Explorer since I granted it before Superuser stopped working. I cannot however grant any new root permissions since Superuser won't open.
I'm willing to reflash GB and start from scratch again, I'd just like to know what the reason is (was it deodexing? Flashing the zip for the status bar? Or is this just something that can happen?) so I can avoid it the next time. I'm not too excited about having to redownload all my apps for the 3rd time (I was living without root on ICS but decided to go ahead and get it) so if there's a way around it I'd like to find it. Any help is appreciated. I'll try to reply as quickly as possible, thanks guys.
