Here's a quoted answer from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18212299&postcount=2646

The developer of su stated on his website that the binary cannot be updated if it is installed in /sbin, because that directory is actually a part of boot.img, which remains read only even if the system partition is mounted with read-write access. This is exactly how it is installed in SRF 1.2 (and probably all earlier versions, as well as several other Epic roms).
Rom developers will need to change the su install directory in order for the su app to be able to update the binary.

You still need to mount /system an r/w
nand unlock allows you to do that
Arg, still saying read only

I get the following message every time I try to update my super user binary:
"incapable of updating your su binary since it is installed in /sbin. This is not an error in the updater, it is an error on the behalf of your ROM or kernel developer. You can continue to use superuser with your outdated binary. "
Any ideas?

I tried that super user fix in the market but that was a no. I had to flash a different ROM.
Sent from the future.
Problem is, I can't flash any ROSE or even make a nandroid backup due to this.

Try and Flash this, before you try another Rom

No luck. For some reason I can't flash it through recovery since it doesn't even show up.

For some reason Recovery will only show me my external SD. Imoved the file to my external and tried to flash but got the same error. Idk what's going on.

Yeah you should gives this a shoot as well, but my question is, what kernel are you running then? i can see this zip, external or internal.
The kernel is 2.6.35.7
I originally rooted through ( http://epic4gtouchroot.com/).
Haven't tried autoroot since I don't have a computer available at the moment.

Ok, I seem to have noticed a possible culprit, I've got ROM Manager Premium and have flashed a custom recovery, however, whenever I try to flash into Clockwork (from the app itself and by holding up+home+power) on my phone instead of taking me to Clockwork it takes me to Android system recovery instead. Any ideas?

Odin a kernel that has CWM in it. I believe there is only one kernel supported by ROM Manager so far and I haven't even tried to go that route to confirm it yet.

I was thinking of going back to stock tomorrow, then auto rooting. Will that work?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
So I followed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514434 and installed superuser and then rebooted my phone. I tried using titanium backup and it says it doesn't have root access. I tried other apps that needed root access and they all said the same. If I have superuser installed, shouldn't I be rooted. What did I do wrong?
You install busy box?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Yeah I did, it says, "BusyBox Installer was not allowed root access!"
Try using the stickied (sticky'd?) root guide. It has version 3.0.5 of superuser. I had to use this version and then update via the superuser app.
Wipe cache and dalvik and then flash su

I would just Odin the stock ROM and start all over at this point if I was you. You may have trashed up the system at this point trying to do other stuff.

Alright I figured out my problem. The posted superuser zip was for android 1.6 devices. I found the correct zip and root works. Thanks guys!

Well, I'm going to need a little more info than that to go off of.

Flash this thru recovery: http://dinc.does-it.net/SuperUser/SuperUser_3.0.7.zip It will update the su app and binary. Also make sure busybox is installed correctly.

Boot up the phone and use a file explorer to go to /system/bin and make sure there is a file called su. Also try to go to the mannage applications menu and clear the data for the superuser app. If it still dosent work i would try reflashing cwm thru hboot and then try flashing superuser again.

My phone crashed and I don't have a computer near me I can use to install cwm recovery. Is there a way to install custom recovery without a computer for Dinc2? I've seen other phones but couldn't find anything on our forums. Thanks in advance.

Started bootlooping. I had PG32IMG on sdcard so I got phone to start by using that. If I restart the phone it starts bootlooping again. If I can get recovery I'm going to flash another Rom to see if that works

I just downloaded terminal emulator but can't get Su since I dont have root just revo unlocked bootloader
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda app-developers app
First...this should be in the Q&A or General thread.
Second, in either the Q&A or General thread I believe there was a thread not long ago about how to install CWM straight from the phone, so you might do a little searching to find that one. I don't have the link to it, but it wasn't long ago, so it shouldn't be hard to find.
Okay. If someone can move the thread to proper forums that would be awesome. Sorry about putting in wrong section.

Yes it won't let me run Su it says I'm not rooted. Busybox says im rooted and then fails to install. I just pushed recovery last night with computer

I slightly remember seeing a similar problem somewhere when I rooted my phone. I want to say they had to uninstall su and all files from it on SD card and reinstall it. Maybe this will help.
