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

Which version of Superuser are you running? I have the one by ChainsDD (available in the Market) and I do not have that problem.
I had the same issue. Installing BaconBits will fix that for you.
This is happening for me too, but only on Titanium. I have installed baconbits 0.3, i've reinstalled busybox via the "Problems?" button in Ti, and I've reinstalled chainsDD Superuser.apk from the market. I can't figure out what is going on and I have a thread going on legendroid forums, but so far no luck.
I found a fix guys. Updated SU Binaries through Rom Manager and things are fine now.
I think the SU app I pushed into my phone while perm. rooting was older than what is currently on RM.
I just had this issue about 10 minutes ago where the "Allow or deny" prompt would come up and it wouldn't remember it. I fixed it by loading Superuser, going to the Settings tab, scrolling down and selecting Su binary to check for updates. There was one, applied it, and it's now remembering.
I fixed my issue by uninstalling su. It reverted to a very old version, and it's remembering my settings, even in Ti.
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

Hey people,
I'm currently located in China and I've got serious problems with the Market lately.
I'm using and been using CM7 on my Moto Defy for months (almost since CM7-Jordan beginning) and I've never had such Market problems before.
So I'm wondering if
1) other users from China can tell me if things are the same (or fine) for them?;
2) anyone have hint/suggestion on how to fix this after reading what I did/observed here?:
First, I'll say again that I've never had problems with Market before; none getting it installed (through gapps zip) on CM7 when updating/reflashing ROM or Nand backups/ none with downloading or upgrading apps with the Market app.
But all in a sudden last week, I noticed that the Market was not reacting quickly. I was testing 111004-1128 nightly (which has a newer Superuser file included) then after SU updated itself automatically [coincidence???], all things broke loose, Market would not connect and give me errors. SU would also alway stay in the "Not Installed" List of my Market apps (even after reboots and logins).
I've then tried to install the Superuser Market update fixer app (big mistake I think now) but that just made things worst. In an effort to get the Market going again, I did clean it's cache and eventually it's data which basically resetted all my listed apps in the Market.
Following all that, I did numerous fresh installs [maybe 10 at this point]: RSDL Froyo flashing and CM7 and gapps installs [with and without restoring old working CWM backups] and with countless install combinations of older CM7 builds and gapps versions.
On August's gapps, Market always gives me the "No connection Retry" even if I can get connected to Google services since my wifi indicator turns blue or green (depending on theme/CM7 build used) and Talk and Gmail logs in fine.
On June's gapps,login seems fine: I can browse apps but as soon as I try downloading something, I get stuck at Downloading 0%... and it seems to put the servicee in some sort of bootloop since and other apps icons do not display until I get "Download failed to install - Try again" and click OK. Market will also FC as soon as I select anything from the "Just in" sections.
I've tried clearing Market's cache many times, started Talk, signed out and back in, let my wifi on all night to leave Market to update. I've even created a new gmail account and tried it on yet another fresh install with June gapps; nothing works and this drive me nutts!!
I can go on my desktop, use a VPN service to log in to my Market account and install something from there; it will be pushed on my phone alsmost right away. But again I can't install anything from the phone no matter what.
That would be fine with me, but that means that for any special apps that otherwise would require me to use Market Enabler, I will not be able to do it from the desktop either.
It's not a question of having DroidWall or anything else I've installed blocking something out; like I wrote; I've tried many clean installs without restoring or installing anything...: same.
So, has The Great Firewall" finally caught up to Android Market and stopping use of any Vending.apk from withtin China? Are they recent changes from Google? Or am I having other Market setup/install problems here? What's your take on this?
Thanks for reading and thanks for any help in advance.
Cheers.
And PLEASE do not "full quote" this long post (sorry for that btw) .
Market has been blocked by GFW. I can't access it either unless using VPN.

This sounds not so far fetched..
I live in the US, and I see the same type of behavior at my college.
I can get to the app, but when downloading it sits there for a century.
the idea of censorship isn't something I would blame, nor shrug.
Her are a few things I should try...
Use a spare gmail account to test with, and see if you can reproduce the same results...
Try and use that same vpn, configured through your phone this time, and disable any apn/data settings other than wifi... Now try.
Edit:
P.s. What ROM are you using? The cm team has a stable out now.. Guide that a shot...

My OP was a long one, but I think that i did mention somewhere that I've tried a new gmail account with same result.
My vpn use encryption and will not work on defy ;(
Strangely, from all my recent tries at getting gapps to work properly, it seems that I can only use 2G data to do the first account setup. And that seems to 'work' only with June gapps package.
Recent update (on RC1.5):
I've also managed to get my installed apps listed again by playing around with 2G data and installing and uninstalling a standalone 3.1.3 Vending apk as update and undo it.
I was able to download 2 or 3 apps (out of 50 trials) also by fiddling w data enable/disable.
But again, never before, in 4-5 months using CM7, I had to turn on data past the initial Google setup and I've never had any download issues either....
So i don't think that it's related to TGFW and will keep digging...
On 7.1 now but no change..as
I did flash june gapps w 7.1 but never got any setup to do since no factory reset. Will try a clean install tomorrow or the day after...
Thanks for your reply.
OK I finally got it to work after all.
I just tried to fix the fix the problems caused by the new Superuser update after trying a recent nightly in just the worst possible way over and over.
So what you have to remember is:
1- to NOT signin to your Google account using data and do it over wifi. So select "Skip" on the screen showing "Create an account", "Sign in" or "Skip" and go ahead with other settings: your baseband, wifi and especially turning off "Data enabled".
2- always use the latest gapps version, not the June one like I tried many times
3- Install gapps along with a fresh CM7 zip install; not a nand restoration.
4- after reboot (if needed by Defy Baseband Switcher) just press the Market icon and set up your account then
So wipe data, cache and Dalvik and install CM7 zip (RC1.5 is a good one to start with) and and latest gapps zip and follow the above.
Sorry for this useless thread and for me trying to get this working like a chicken without a head
So @ TimelesslyPrecise: if your downloads do not start, it might as well be because you did setup your account over data the first time.
So just start from scratch again:
- backup your apps [with TB, the newest (and free) Astro file manager or other];
- do a fresh CM7 install (no need to reflash Froyo) but do as above;
- restore your apps;
- then just click on the Market icon and sign in.
Don't worry if at first your apps are not listed under "My apps"; they will eventually come back with usage.
@xcjiang: yeah I knew that, but that doesn't mean that the Market app on the phone doesn't work.
Sorry again about that.
Cheers.
Didn't worked for me...
Instead I found cause and solution elsewhere http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295222
To cut the story short, problem is in way that Market don't get DNS right.
Solution is to install app that will change DNS for every wifi connection DNS to OpenDNS (my choice) or GoogleDNS. I'm using DNS Changer.
Now enjoy superfast Market
WTF...First there were a million updates to Super User till the dev broke that about a month ago.
Now I update Busy Box in the market today and my WiFi connection won't work properly...Not having any idea that it could even be Busy Box's fault I started doing a serch and others are having the same problem after the new Busy Box update.
And I just installed the newest ota update so I don't have an old nandroid to restore to.
The WiFi will work sometimes but slow and not seem to respond at all other times...weird.
Can you uninstall updates through Settings > Applications?
Edit: Actually, is busybox even necessary anymore? I just realized I'm on McD's ICS ROM and I don't seem to have busybox installed. I've restored all of my apps through Titanium and it never prompted me to install.

Now I am having problems with TB, don't know if its busy box related. Just tried to integrate maps and now it is gone from my phone.
I updated earlier and have had no issues. I dont see how it would mess anything up as it was just an update to the app (which is basicly just an updater) not the busybox binary which is what actually performs all the actions.

Thats what I was thinking. But all of a sudden have just started having some weird issues. Maybe a coincidence.
And now had my first problem with TB integrating an app, but I think TB uses another version of Busy Box so I dunno.

I believe your right, TB has busybox built into it.
I'm also expieriencing broken WiFi after updating busybox last night. Now running 1.19.3 - woke up today and my phone was super hot (110 F), battery was at 80% when I unplugged it and WiFi is stuck on 'obtaining IP address'
I'm unable to get wifi to work on my home wireless where I have WPA secuirty setup, or on my work's wireless where I have no security.
I've been trying various suggestions posted in other threads and on other forums but nothing has resolved the issue. I'll keep at it when I have free time today and update this thread if I have any success..
EDIT: not sure if it's worth mentioning or not, but Root File explorer seems to be broken as well, opening up to a blank screen that just says 'Root Explorer' on top. Have to hit the home key to exit the program.

This is correct, it has it built into the app.
I got it working by setting a static IP. Hardly a fix, but wifi is working now.
I have no idea what the root cause of this is.. or if it's even related to busybox.
Apologies if I've hijacked the thread (having completely different hardware and all) but I believe we share the same issue. I'm planning on flashing to a new ROM soon if I can't get DHCP working again.
EDIT: Root Explorer still not working though, & eventually force closes if not exited with home button.
If you believe the new busybox is the problem just open it up and install the previous version.

I tried that and it didn't resolve the issue. I'm unable to remove it because I don't have the full version..
--Update (day after). Flashed to cm7 last night and everything's good now. I don't have the patience to troubleshoot lately.
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.
