Haven't run into this issue specifically, but you can try updating your Superuser binary whether it says it's up to date or not.
It's under the Tools menu in the SU app.

OK there was an update. I see one option failed? Is this important? What is it?

Mounting system as read only. Fail is okay.

Hi,
Maybe not a (your) solution but sometimes Superuser really sucks ,like many I have had problems with it so I switched to Super SU,no more issues

Could be a Rom Manager issue, does it do it any other time? I've never used RM personally so can't confirm.

It does it when I try and backup/restore and reboot in recovery. I Aldo tried restoring and it didn't have the md5 sums matched up.

Having the same issue
I feel ya buddy, I keep having superuser stop/crash while trying to do anything but flash CWM. Really annoying.
Running ICS 4.04 on GNex (Verizon)

ROM Manager hardly (if ever) works. I'm starting to regret having bought the premium version.

I've read a few places that rom manager and cwm don't 'get along' very well, that's if you're using cwm of course

If that is true, it's a damn shame, considering clockworkmod recovery and ROM Manager are both made by the same developer. (Koushik Dutta)

It isn't exactly a problem...
And non-native app will cause this.
Superuser is granting SU access to allow the phone to reboot.
So as soon as it's granted the process is killed...causing it to throw an error.
It isn't a problem.

Problem solved

The problem was that the reboot returned Andy on his back with a red triangle in his servicehatch, no matter what I did..
Your ultimate guide (awesome guide by the way:good gave me a hint that the problem wasn't with superuser, but with my flashed cwm. I manually reflashed cwm, reflashed superuser. I dumped the su.zip file I had used and replaced it with the file in your guide. A bootloop later, all is good and up and running
Now running CM9 and ADW.
Thx alot for your awesome guide, I will recommend it for everyone looking for the basics, like me.

SU Binary Update Failing

See pic guys. Anyone know why this is failing and a possible fix? I am running Mr.X's T-Mo ICS leak with DarkSide Venom 03 kernel. Thanks!

Try it after a reboot. That's what has worked for me when a su update flunks.

Rebooted and now it's failing at "copying su to /system"

Rebooted a second time and now it's failing at the same spot it originally was in the OP.

Have you tried a Darkside cache wipe? Or another super user app?

Yes, tried darkside cache wipe. Still failing

I had that same issue, I just did a complete Re-flash of my ROM and everything worked fine after that.

Don't wipe, just try flashing your current ROM again, or download (search for it, sorry no time to link) su.zip to flash from recovery. Either way should work in restoring SU and a matching binary, after verifying it works try updating again (app first, than binary).

Uninstall superuser, then re-install from market, then try updating the binary through superuser. Should work.

I deleted the SU from system/app and then installed SuperSU funny thing though after a reboot i still see the old super user in app drawer and it opens...weird

[Q] Rooted or not?

Deletion

use superoneclick, btw, cm10 comes pre-rooted I guess?! maybe theres something corrupt..
you should have installed CWM after you rooted already.

Deletion

Kill adb.exe and try again

i got same problem.. did you solved it?

It should be already rooted... BTW!?

Ηι, someone was able to do it and how?

I have the same problem, actually this is the 2nd time.
I installed clockwork recovery, flashed cm9, it wasn't rooted.. Tinkered around and it worked. I remember it being fairly simple and therefore I took little notice of what I did.
After screwing my phone up I flashed again.. Now no su access, no root access.. And i cant seem to surpass it. Clockwork works fine, and superoneclick does not
Flashed rom and su patch from maclaw..
If anyone could shed light id be very grateful.

If I remember correctly, cm9 had an option to enable disable root access for apps and adb. Have you checked if you have the right options enabled in the settings ?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Yeah, I've tried root apps only and root apps + adb
Also tried disabling root and applying su patch.. Nothing! It sucks cos I hate bloatware. Cm10 was rooted using the dev options in settings, but the rom was too unstable for me
Sent from my GT-S5660 using XDA Premium HD app

Try following these steps. Might work
1. Flash Stock ROM back.
2. Root the phone.
3. Install Clockwork MOD
4. Then install CM9 RC2 by maclaw
5. After that, install the patch through CWM
These steps worked for me.

It worked for me! Yaay su permission has never felt better
Thank you!

[Q] 4.3 Problems After Update

Hey guys, so before I got the OTA update to 4.3, my Gnex was rooted with stock recovery and stock rom. So now when I got the OTA update, my phone still has the SuperSU app installed but has lost root. Now I want to uninstall SU from my device. Is it possible to do this by going into Root Explorer, then deleting the "su" file in the 'xbin' folder, and then deleting the "Superuser.apk" file in the "apps" folder? Oh, and BTW, ever since I updated, my phone doesn't let me install apk files. I downloaded the Hovering Controls app on the XDA thread and when I click on the file, the package installer opens up. However, it doesn't register a press on the install button on the bottom right corner. I have tried this with a number of apk files but they don't work. Does anyone know a solution?
Thanks

if you dont have root, how do you expect to delete something out of xbin?

Thanks for the reply. So what would you recommend to remove super su from my device?

Go into the Superuser app settings and scroll down to find Full Unroot. See if that does the trick.

Unfortunately, I can't even go into the SuperSU app because it says that "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it."
