How to become a superuser?

Can anyone help me?
I don't know how to become a superuser user.
When I'm in rom manager or in wireless tethering it always wanted to access to superuser.
Anybody know how?

If your on your phone more than you should be your a superuser.

Superuser is an app that blocks an applications access to root, allowing you to give that app permission first. Its to prevent an app to make changes to your ROM or whatever else without your knowledge or consent. Just hit allow when it pops up to use the app.

We're assuming you're rooted? Normally, the custom roms include superuser to allow for permissions but if you're not rooted than it's all for naught.

Did you root your phone? If so you should have an app called superuser in your app drawer.

If it's an app you ran and trust just grant it and check remember and it won't keep asking.
If you don't have the super user app download it from the market assuming ur rooted.
must be rooted in order to install SU

and dont for get to take off your glasses and change into your costume in a phone booth. I heard of this other superuser who forgot to take off his glasses and his secret identity was found out! was ugly.
in all seriousness. It is asking you this question because some apps require a higher level permission which is granted by giving it super user permission. Assuming you are rooted and assuming you have the super user app you simply click allow if you trust the app asking for superuser. yo can tell it to remember and thus shouldn't be asked again for that app or you can have it ask you every time.
If you arent rooted then you have a whole bunch of research you need to do to get rooted. (not really hard just do a little searching). If you dont have the superuser app (look in your app drawer) and are rooted then download it form the market.
if you still have no clue what is going on i suggest sticking to stock for now as you will likely cause yourself a lot more issues until you do more research and learn a bit more about root/nand unlock what they are and what they allow etc.

Lol, thanks.
Yeah, I've done rooting and everything already. I've done it the hardest way with the G1.

I and most experts (including Google themselves if I recall correctly) recommend against automatic task killers.

Nandroid problem

I read somewhere that after restoring a nandroid, you'll have problems with moving, deleting and setting permissions in root explorer. Im having problems with root explorer right now and was wondering if this is the case.
Thanks

What are your problems? I'm a huge ROM junkie and never had any issues restoring a nandroid and root explorer. Have you tried wiping cache? And clearing app data?

Did you restore to a point where you don't have superuser?

Root explorer is being wonky. Wont let me mount r most of the time, and even when it does, I can't delete, move or set permission at all.

I've had that issue (and currently am experiencing it). I've always had to use adb to do what I needed because any file explorer gives me issues with root access. I've never been able to attribute it to a particular cause but now that you mention it, a nandroid restore isn't unreasonable. I'm currently on a nandroid

My guess would be to first clear app data then run super user and remove the program from super user then run root explorer again. That should refresh the super user rights.

Tried that. Even tried darkside cache wipe. I reflash the exact version of my rom and it fixed my problem. So maybe there is problem with nandroid restore

Ah I had a similar problem with my HD2. Mine wouldn't even boot though. I guess there must be something wrong with either the way it restores the image, or the way it creates the image.

Tried it. Prettiest and best organized file manager I ever saw. Would use it if it had a refresh button somewhere. Couldn't find one so back to Total Commander.

+2 previously I used ES file and definitely solid is smooth more intuitive and gorgeous

You need to make sure that you have the latest busy box installed. For me, root didn't work properly until I did that. It really is a great file explorer for the nexus, being that our screen is large and I love the drag and drop.

I can't get root access files with this file manager so its fairly useless but it looks pretty I guess just not practical, went back to root explorer an es file explorer an yes I have latest busybox as most root apps need it :screwy:

Best looking file explorer app, but depending on the ROM I'm running I can't get root access because the ROM is using a custom busybox. This is the only app I ever have this issue with unfortunately.

Root access works for me now, click jump tab at bottom of app screen, then device then system root, then try open a folder in root location an the app should ask for root permission from super su or superuser

To refresh, you just have to click on the current folder at the top of the app.

Yep, I know how to get the SU dialog to pop up, but another message saying Busybox needed to be updated would always come up as well, depending on the ROM I was on at the time. Just letting others know.

Thanks. I'll give it another try.
Edit: Yeh, this thing is the shizz. If I don't run into any root issues I think I'll keep it.
Edit 2: Spoke too soon. It FC'd while doing a moderately large move of about 90 small files. Sure is pretty but I need something I can depend on. Back to homely old Total Commander...

Thanks for the heads up, its the best file browser I've used to date.

I love the lan features..sooo handy!

Im glad you enjoy it. I use this an root explorer at the same time to easy up my transition. Maybe that's why i haven't seen certain things. For root stuff, i use root explorer and for basic stuff, i Use Solid. Gotta say that the UI is incredibly nice. but remember guys and gals, its still in beta form. hit the dev and "telem!"
