i think SuperUser is faster than SuperSU i think nothing beats the original xD
Use a file manager
And go to system then apps then delete superuser
I agree with cosminx13 that superuser is better than supersu

I have noticed there are two popular zips to root a device, CWM-SuperSU and Superuser. They both apear to function the same way. Is one of these preferred? I have only ever used the Superuser files since I joined the Android team. Am I missing anything? Thanks.
SuperSU it gives super user permissions much faster.

Supersu is one that I prefer

FYI, SuperSU comes from a well respected developer (Chainfire), and was created because Superuser has some major bugs that ChainsDD still hasn't fixed - such as su crashing if Android wasn't fully booted, etc.

Thanks guys, looks like I will be flashing SuperSU v0.94 tonight.
Have been using superSU for a couple of weeks now instead of the old trusted superuser. Besides the fact it does seem to allow root access a bit faster, there really is little difference between the two.

Superuser is open-source.
From the Superuser's github:
"Superuser should be open source. It's the gateway to root on your device. It must be open for independent security analysis. Obscurity (closed source) is not security."
I've used SuperSU by Chains for a few years now on the various ROMS, and when MMuzzy switched over to Superuser, it was a simple transfer that hasn't affected anything really. I haven't noticed any differences besides (like everyone else is saying) it is a bit slower at allowing permissions.
So I've gotten my SPH-D710VMUB.FL26 rooted but not, Busybox says it's rooted, root checker says it's rooted, superuser is installed with binary, but superuser denies everything & changing the settings doesn't help ? Anybody know what I'm doing wrong ?

I have the very same SPH-D710VMUB.FL26 but I haven't been able to root it. I have used a couple methods, but all failed. Can I ask you what method did you use? Mine is a VirginMobile model. I'd appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks...
How did you install the rom? I've been using one clicks from RWilcos repository with no issues.
PC Odin the one click of your choice and after the green pass light should be good. Maybe redownload and reinstall?

apps installed on the system partition have access to root without the need of SU to control it. When you install an app like superSU you now give that APK control of any request of root rights. When phone asked for root it didnt know that you have an app that is now handling the request and thats why you were notified.

It works just fine as is, no need to change anything.
I'm currently running rbox's updated 51.1.4.0_user_514006420 ROM. I can still grant superuser access to apps that request it, and apps that require su function properly, but I can't open the SuperSu app itself, it just crashes. When I try to open it from the KFTV launcher, the screen blinks and it returns to the applications menu. If I try to open SuperSu from XBMC, it causes XBMC to crash as well.

I think it has to do with the way I'm installing it. In theory if you were to delete the SuperSu.apk from /system/app and sideload the apk yourself, it might work better. And if you horribly break things, you can always just reinstall the prerooted rom to get it back.

I deleted it and sideloaded it back. Same behavior. Just want to get into its settings. I used the latest PlayStore version APK.
Yeah, same here. I ended up installing Clockworkmod's Superuser and uninstalling SuperSU. All I needed was the ability to disable notifications on a per app basis.

Direct download from CWM website
You'll have to re-approve superuser requests since it's a different app. I believe this is the same superuser app that comes with Cyanogenmod

From what I read the supersu is always the best one to choose. Certainly with phones.
I just dont know why we cant launch the app as normal to adjust settings.
Can you launch yours? Can anyone?

I don't know about "always the best". It's all the same crap really. CM ships with Superuser and it seems to work fine for everyone using that.
I can't launch it either.

I also had the same issues. However, I was able to fix it by deleting "/system/app/SuperSu.apk" and then side-loading an older version of SuperSu (2.01). So, it looks as if the issue may be with compatibility with more recent versions.

Ok was able to run the SU Zip through CWM and had it rebooted after it was completed. Once it was on. I looked around on the Tablet and SU isn't installed. Running Root Checker Pro and it says the Devices appears to be running very Slow... Been on this screen for a few mins already.
Edit: Went back into CWM and Re-Booted... When I clicked on it a new page loaded and had an option to Fix Root... Choose it and Re-booted.
Downloaded SU from Google Play and it worked now... HUGE THANKS....
Well Crap... Says it's rooted. Xmod is getting Permission from Super User.. Mod installed in the Game... launch from xMod and the Game Crashes.
Ok opened SU and it triggered KNOX... Clicked to let SU to try and disable KNOX.... Been on that Screen for 5min so far...I also get a Security Notice Stating Unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked.
..........................................................................
Unistalled SU and Restalled it. Let SU try and Fix KNOX again... Fixed it in just a Few Seconds.
Wroking 100% Now. The last issue was with XMod not the root.
BIG THANKS
