Hello,
I have stock rooted rom 2.29.405.5 (with Apps2SD).
Recently superuser app has been updated to the newest version.
After that I am getting a notification about "su binary not updated".
Clicked on it and got the "Updating Binary" which informs me about an update of the su binary.
The problem is that when I click "update" the whole procedure fails when it tries this "Remounting /system as rw".
What is wrong?
Thank you!
Are you s-off? If so not sure what the problem is. If you're not s-off, that's your problem

the problem is that without s-off, an app cant write on /system while the phone is booted
u have 2 options:
-uninstall the super user update, and continue to use the old one
-install the super user update (apk + su binary) flashing from the recovery this zip
Thank you both for your replies.
I am still s-on but planning to change that.
But for now, I copy the zip to the sd card. Reboot into recovery and use flash zip from sd? Are there any other things I have to do before flashing the zip?

If u updated super user through the market, uninstall the update..after that flash the zip in recovery
I haven't done any actions to update it, more likely, it was automatically updated via market.
Unistall the update? How? If I unistall something, this would be the application itself (I mean I only know unistalling applications - is there any way to unistall updates?)

u never looked in settings/applications?
super user i guess is a system app (like gmails, gmaps, gtalk, etc)..so u can't uninstall those applications..but u can uninstall updates for those applications..mean for system apps u can only uninstall updates
so go in settings/applications, select super user app and u should see uninstall updates, if yes do uninstall updates, if not then its ok and flash the zip
do a nandroid backup in recovery before touch something, just to be sure
I hadn't checked system applications so far.
Unistalled the update, did a nandroid backup and flashed the zip!
Everything OK now!
Thanks a lot for your help!
Many many thanks!!!
what does the zip need to be named?
Does the zip need to be named update or does it stayed named like it is?
Name it whatever makes you happy. Remember its whats on the inside that counts.

I'm getting the same warning message with my market updated su, when I open Titanium Backup but it hasn't affected anything. I just ignore the message and everything still seems to work. Am I missing something?

I have uninstalled SU and installed the super user update and I get the following error when I update the binary updater:
"Failed to find currently installed su binary. Update cannot continue"
UPDATE:
I downloaded and installed the binary file (su-3.0-bin-efgh-signed.zip) from androidsu.com and now get FC error "The application Superuser has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
Thanks for your help.
When this issue occurred for I found that just by simply reflashing the SU zip in recovery and then running the update fix it seemed to fix it. I think for me it may have had to do with using an outdated version though.
su binary update failed..
Hi, I'm using CyanogenMod 7.1.0 RLS3 for Kaiser.. Today I got a "su binary outdated" I try to update it.. Going ok until "Moving su to it's final location - Fail" how to solve this? guide me please.. I'm newbie..
Hi, I had rooted my Garmin-Asus A50 about a year ago with help from these fora. Also installed Titanium backup and other related apps.
My question: upon waking thisr morning and waking the phone, a message said "SU binary outdated - tap to update" I let it update without thinking -but immediately had doubts about some trojan doing this to gain access.
So I switched off the phone and am trying to gather some info here and on WP. From your post I see that this 'update' message may be legit - or am I wrong?
Thanks ffor any further tips.

For those having problem of updating Super SU binary after flashing rom [ROM][ARC/S][.587]JELLY SANDWICH 6.0 STABLE[22-09][Aroma][Uploaded] or any other rom that have the same problem.I found a way to fix it..
1. first try update binary using Super SU for few times, if still installation failed try to download old superuser through play store.
2. Disable superuser for Super SU in settings>Superuser
3. In old superuser, go to info and then tap the "tap to check updates" and update the binary.
4. Then, enable superuser in Super SU and voilaa!!... try it..

I am trying the above unsuccesfuly
SuperSU 0.96 will say Installation failed when trying to update (tried several times)

I install the old superuser, I tap to check updates and I get the following errors:

2. Everything is OK until is trying to Copying su to system... fail!
Any ideea why?
Thank you!
P.S. Nevermind, I found SU update FIX on googleplay and it did the job.

Thanks a ton for this fix! I was about to throw my phone out of the window but you saved its life.
In step 2. I think it's easier to say: Open SuperSU and deny root access on the Superuser prompt.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing (destructive).
I just say this because I couldn't find an option to add a denied application in Superuser. Maybe I didn't search too hard...
This works with Xperia-ICS v2i ROM port (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1855768).

Issue Resolved :"Supersu binary failed"
Amigos,
Who is having issue of SuperSU Binary update than they should download the attachment which is an update for SuperSU & install or flash it through "Recovery mode" & reboot. It takes while to get up your device but it works for me.
Cheers.
This is what worked for me:
1. Install Superuser by ChainsDD.
2. Install SuperSU.
3. When the Superuser prompt comes up, click allow.
4. Update the binaries.
Thanks

tried everything, doesnt work.
Hi, got a problem which I cannot solve and I do not find a solution.. So I have Android Revolution HD 9.0 installed, and few days ago Superuser updated itself. It's the one from Clockworkmod. Now it says that su binary needs to be updated, but the install always fails and says to send a log. Same thing happens if I select the "Recovery install".
Where is this log, and what I could do? I am using 4EXT Recovery.

Yeah I have the same problem.
Hey there
Have you tried re-flashing the ROM? Is the superuser update causing any issues (ie not giving out root access?)
You can always try using SuperSU (alternative to SuoerUser) although you'll have to look in the SuoerUser settings in order to find the option to change SU granting programs

Hello All - hope you can help me.
Until a few days ago I was on JSS15Q, unlocked and rooted using the excellent Wugfresh NRT. I downloaded an update to BusyBox as I was prompted, and since then I've lost root.
BusyBox (now v9.3) has a message stating "There was a problem opening a shell with root access. This is either being caused by superuser/supersu or by a device that is inproperly rooted. Try removing superuser/supersu permissions, uninstaling this application, reinstalling this application, and then regranting superuser/supersu permissions for this application."
SuperSU (now v1.65) has the message "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!".
Since losing root I've done the JSS15R OTA without issue, and last night I tried re-rooting using NRT (latest version) , but the same error messages as above appear.
Is there something obvious (and fool-proof!) that I can do to fix this? Is there any detail I've omitted?
Epic thanks in advance - Digi

Boot into TWRP and install SuperSU 1.55 (the 1.65 install script is a placeholder that does nothing)
http://download.chainfire.eu/346/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.55.zip
sfhub - thanks
Before I boot into TWRP, what will installing SuperSU 1.55 actually do, if I'm already on 1.65? Why has updating BusyBox caused this problem, or is that a coincidental thing?

If you post the install script for the busybox you installed I can probably tell you what went wrong, but without that, any number of things could have gone awry.
SuperSU 1.55 should be OK to install on top of 1.65. It usually makes a reasonable attempt at cleaning up past installs before installing itself.
OK - how do I go about getting the install script? - I'd really like to find out what happened and why (might help someone else too!)
It is in the apk for busybox.
sfhub - thanks for your help. Root has been restored!
I installed SuperSU 1.55 via TWRP - I still don't know what went wrong or why, but it's fixed now - cheers. Now, where's that thank you button...
My phone is a Huawei u8160 (AKA Vodafone 858) and I rooted it a long time ago with z4root and have had no problems eversince.... until recently when my mate got hold of my phone and accidently flashed an experimental/beta (possibly a binary for x86 systems) SU binary through CWM recovery. I thought I could fix this quite easily by using z4root to uninstall root and then do a fresh reinstall, but it would force close on me after a few seconds. I tried this method with both temporary and permanent root options but nothing worked. The button that pops up saying ''unroot'' wasn't there even though there is still a SU file in /system/xbin as it showed in Rom toolbox. I soon realised that the version of android i was running on my custom rom was not compatible with z4root, so i searched for how to root android version 2.3.9 pro. I dont know the name for that version and it must have been a bit of a flop because google didnt know it either. I dont know how akiro-E (the developer that cooked up the rom) got his hands on version 2.3.9 pro but i recommend to other devs reading this to not use it as there is not much compatibility.
Anyway, i found this apk made by chainsDD called gingerbreak and decided to give it a go. It said that it needed debugging on and that it might take a while, so i did that and pressed the root button. I left it to do its business, but 15 minutes later it was still trying to run the exploit so I stopped and removed it. When i got home later on i searched up how to root any phone and it came up with the pc program 'superoneclick'. I got it, opened it and clicked unroot. It did its thing but failed to remove su and the superuser app like it was meant to. So then i clicked on root and shell root but it did not reinstall properly and got the same error as in unroot error. I did all the steps multiple times but it still wouldnt remove/replace su from the xbin folder. I then reinstalled superuser 3.1.3 and tried using the binary updater on there. I noticed that the su installed was called 'legacy'. The updater was having a spaz and didnt want to update so i tried manually removing su with the root explorer in rom toolbox butvrealised that you needed root (a working one) to do that. Then i found an app on my sd called root cleaner. I tried quick and full cleaning but to no results except for a force close multiple times. I tried to fi the foce close issue by running the script for this in rom toolbox but you need root (surprise surprise) Then i tried flashing cwm recovery through fastboot as i have done lots of succesful times before. It flashed after putting my phone in download/debug mode (power and volume down) but i cant boot to it as you need proper root rights to do that.
I am going to use total commander to check if the permissions are set to 644 for the su binary, if not ill attempt to change them.
I know this a long desciption and technical question but does anyone know any ways to delete the retarded root from my phone and help me restore root as normal? This is a question for the more experienced users and devs on this forum but any help will be appreciated, cheers.
If you've got recovery, you can install one of these zips in recovery mode.
Google "superuser 3.1.3 arm signed zip" and click the first link that comes up - the androidsu one. Then download the superuser zip package that suits your device to your phones internal storage, reboot into recovery, install the zip and there you go! Your root is fixed.

@odigITECH thanks for the help. I fixed the problem using your method. . . kind of. I flashed recovery via fastboot and then just flashed another rom from my sd card via cwm after I rebooted. Thanks for the help anyway, much appreciated!

Hey all,
Just installed the Official Cyanogenmod on my N1 and lo and behold, root has run away.
ROM here: cyanogenmod(dot)org/hardware/oppo-n1/#images
I installed the TWRP Recovery and tried to let it install Root and it appears that it sort of does with the SuperSU app, but other root checkers and Titanium fail hard on this.
Anybody got any ideas on how to root Cyanogenmod? (Just sounds weird to say that)
Thanks
Tal
I had to flash SuperSU in recovery. I encountered the same issue. TWRP didn't root, even though it said that it did. Updating SuperSU within android didn't help. So I flashed it manually.

When you say flashed it manually. Was that through fastboot? ADB? or from the recovery.
Also, are we talking about UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip from download.chainfire(dot)eu/supersu
I tried that through recovery and still get /system/xbin/su command missing in Titanium.
Thanks

Ok good News, what I mentioned above through recovery works just fine.
Issues:
Remove all previous instances of it from OS (from inside the SuperSU app, select Switch superuser app or Unroot)
WIPE DALVIK CACHE!!!
Hope this helps others.
