Rooted but superuser permission denied

I recently restored my data and now I'm seeing that anyway to fix this ?

What action gave you permission denied?
Having Superuser in the app drawer doesn't mean you are rooted. It maintains a database of who is allowed root permissions. The real root is implemented by the su binary in /system/xbin or /system/bin. Maybe that got reset or removed when you restored.
If you are running EG30, EG31, EK02, then re-run Option A in the Auto Root package.

How does one run this auto root package? Or do u mean just re root using a pc again?

It is in the first few sticky posts of the development section. It is also in my signature, but you might not be able to see that if you are using a mobile app for the forum.

Use Android terminal and type "su". See if it asks you for permissions (or changes the prompt to #). That will tell you if the problem is with su or something else.

Rooted but no permissions
Hi, all,
I have a similar problem. I've got an original Droid rooted with SuperOneClick 2.3.3 (at least when I run SOC, it says I'm rooted). I have installed Wireless Tethering and AdFree and when I try to start either of them, they are denied superuser permissions. I reran SuperOneClick and tried the Allow Non Market Apps button, but shell is denied permissions when I try that.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

I had that problem over the weekend trying a experimental kernel but once I flash a different kernel the problem went away. I'm using rogue kernel right now it's pretty sweet too. What kernel are you running?
From the official iPhone killer.

I haven't flashed any rom. I just wanted the ability to use non-market apps.
Kernel is listed as 2.6.32.9-g68eeef5 [email protected] #1

You may have to uninstall and start over. Did you use the Odin method?
From the official iPhone killer.

Thanks for the response. I'm afraid I have done that. I don't know the odin method, so pretty sure I didn't do that. I used superoneclick, following instructions here. (And the thing is, all was well until a few weeks ago; phone was rooted and I was able to tether wirelessly. This is a VZW phone, and I remember reading something about them limiting tethering ability. But I don't know why that would make superuser refuse all permissions.) One thing I notice is that there is reference to gingerbreak exploit in superoneclick description, but I don't see that exploit when I use superoneclick. The file doesn't show up in the exploits folder, either. (I have turned off antivirus for this.) Might that be it?

Fwiw, I found a fix for this: Install SuperOneClick v 1.7 with rageagainstthecage option checked. Did that, then ran the non-market apps box, reinstalled wireless tether, then restarted. Phone is rooted again and wireless tether works!

adb shell su mount : permission denied
to enter into su,
install superuser on your mobile, keep your screen unlock.
adb shell,
then type su
$ wil chenge to #
now do the superuser commands on command prompt

You're talking about rooting the old Motorola Droid. This forum is for the Samsung galaxy s II (epic 4g touch) do not attempt to root using our method it won't work and will probably mess up your phone.Motorola and Samsung use completely different firmware

If you have a custom recovery, you can flash supersu.zip then reboot and have root.
I'll find the zip and link you to it.

[Q] Removing a r/o system app

I am trying to remove the SPG.apk (I believe that's Verizon's tether block application) from a stock rom that is already installed on my phone. I tried using root explorer however it won't let me. I believe there is a way to use adb to do this? If so, what would the command lines be?

use
Code:
adb uninstall <package name>

To delete anything off the /system partition in root explorer, you need to mount the it r/w first. There is a button on the top that should say "Mount R/W". You need to press that before deleting anything.

Root Explorer will let you remove anything you want.
Provided you click the Mount R/W button in the top right first.....

Are you rooted?

He's gotta be if he's running root explorer. It won't run if you don't have root.

Def rooted, however removing the app I listed below just messed things up. Anybody know how to remove the Verizon tether block without installing a custom rom

I wasn't sure if root explorer would function as a normal file manager without root. Especially considering he said he is running s stock rom.

Nope. It won't run without root. The developer has another file explorer called "Explorer" as opposed to "Root Explorer", and that one runs without root.

[Q] Superuser Stuck at Checking Installed Version

I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue with Superuser. I have updated to the most recent version that was released on July 1, 2012.
Superuser seems to be working and granting my installed rooted apps SU permissions, but when I go to the Superuser app and click on "Loading su binary version" tap to check for updates, it downloads the manifest and says okay, then parsing manifest and says okay, then says the version is 3.1.
The next line says Checking installed version =
Then it just sits there and doesn't go further, says working.... at the bottom.
Is there anything to worry about since the programs that need SU access are being granted that access successfully? Any ideas how to fix this issue or why it is happening? Thanks.

Force SU to close. It should work fine the next time you run it.

Give SU permissions to gain root access.

Thanks,
It has SU permissions to gain root access, says it's allowed. When I click su Binary Updater now it it unpacks sutools, downloads new binary, gains root access and then remounting /system as rw fails.

Thanks for all your help.
I actually ended up doing a factory reset, clean wipe and reinstalled the ROM I was running. Then I was able to get Superuser to work properly and I was able to update the binaries. Thanks.

[Q] Improperly rooted

I'm kind of new to Android, but I have decent computing experience. My problem is that I recently rooted my SPH-L710 (stock rom) and when I ran Busybox I received the error message "There was a problem opening a shell with root access. This is either being caused by superuser/supersu or by a device that is improperly rooted. Try removing the superuser/supersu permissions, uninstalling this app," etc etc.
I have attempted various methods using things like root explorer and terminal emulator to remove/ change the permissions so I might delete the su file, to no avail as the phone isn't properly rooted. One thread on here mentioned that formatting the sd card - I assume it meant the phone itself - would do the trick. After that, I would of course have to flash a rom, correct? Thanks for your time.

I would do the rooting process over again, with a new download of all files.
Do you have cwm or another custom recovery working?

I'm running CWM. I've successfully rooted a few times before, but this last time it didn't work. I unrooted and then rooted again three times and even re-downloaded all the files (cwm, odin, rom) but I can't seem to fix this. I'll attempt it again and hopefully it'll take this time.

Fantastic! I flashed the su binary zip, rebooted and superuser was already to go and phone is now properly rooted. Thanks very much! :good:

Thank you!

Anyone get their 5x rooted with Android pay working?

I tried the systemless root method several times.. None of it works.
If my superSU app says I'm rooted, Android pay doesn't work. Only way to get it working again is if I UNROOT using the superSU tool.

Root with the systemless root method, and delete "/su/xbin_bind". Android Pay will work. However, you might break root compatibility with older apps that haven't been updated.

Can confirm this allowed me to add my CC again, have not yet tried paying yet. I have 2.66 beta, and using AdAway, TiBu, and Greenify. So far no issues.

am I deleting the whole SU folder? or just the XBIN_BIND?

yes, mine definitely works.
FYI, greenify breaks it, just having it installed for me (even if disabled)
adaway does not have to though, long as you flash the systemless hosts zip file before installing and applying it
