I just rooted my new Verizon Galaxy Nexus (4.0.4) from my Mac using this method : http://goo.gl/7BnkU
I rebooted, and I see Superuser in the app tray, so I install Rom Manager from the Play Store. When I try to install Clockwork recovery from Rom Manager, I get the error, "an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" The SU prompt never pops up.
Could someone help please?

flash your recovery via fastboot, so that you dont experience issues with it later on. flashing recovery via rom manager youre almost guaranteed to have issues, like your recovery disappearing, later on at some point.
When I try to flash CWM via fastboot, I get, "error, cannot load." Also, none of my root apps are able to get SU permissions, and no prompt ever comes up from SU. What is going on?
Have you installed busy box??

Make sure you are actually rooted, there's an app in the market called root checker or something like that.

You don't need busy box for root

Same problem here. I have a VZW Nexus and I followed the steps to root and install CWM recovery, and when I rebooted none of these apps prompted for SU allow: Rom Toolbox Pro. ES File Explorer, Rom Manager and Busybox Installer by JRummy. Here is the rooting process I followed : forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392336

Please know in advance I've read top to bottom and through page after page of post and guide here and on other site before rooting, and I searched before posting this question...
-I rooted my Dinc using Unrevoked3, just this past Saturday.
-I successfully installed Titanium Backup and successfully have used it for back-up.
-I UNsuccessfully did an install of Root Explorer. They told me it sounds like I'm likely not rooted.
-I downloaded ConnectBot, typed Su in the cmd line and received a "Permission denied".
Unrevoked3 and the use of Titanium Backup tell me I am rooted. Root Explorer not getting permission and cmd command tell me I'm not.
Should I simply run the Unrevoked3 process again?
My end goal is to flash a custom rom ideally with better battery life, a better bluetooth (my stock set-up stinks on bt devices) and a different look like CM7.
Here is my software info it if matters:
Android Version 2.2
Baseband 2.15.00.07.28
Kernal Version 2.6.32.17-g9a2fc16
Software 3.26.605.1
I thought I read and re-read and search extensively, much appreciate any help!!

Sounds like you don't have superuser installed. If you do try uninstalling it and download it off the market.

Even if you have it installed, search Superuser in the Market, download/install. Then open the Superuser app itself, hit Menu - Preferences, then scroll down to Su binary vX.Y.Z (X Y Z will be numbers). Touch it and update the su binary, hopefully that'll let you as it'll ask you to "Allow" root access.
I did the update and it failed, twice I'll try the remove and reinstall method next. Thx for the advice.

So Superuser won't even allow for a removal. It was "remove updates", "clear data" or "force stop" only.

I actually remember running into this on my brothers phone a while back. I think I installed busy box off the market and it solved that problem. Not sure if that would work but worth a shot.

Very true, I had a similar issue once trying to uninstall apps, they'd always reappear after reboot. Needed busybox installed which fixed it.
EDIT: Instead of trying to unistall it, go to the Superuser site here, and there's a 3.0.6 flashable zip file that you can flash in ClockworkMod Recovery, maybe give that a try...? But install busybox too as mentioned above by jackbtha1.
Huge thanks for the advice. I installed Busybox and it fixed the problem immediately after I rebooted. I didn't know it was needed because Superuser, in the binary update logged that it had success with busybox, yet I'd never installed it. Alls well, thanks! Odd that Titanium was working on it's own without permissions.
NOW... if anyone wants to hold my hand through flashing a ROM on this thing. It seems many of the walk-thru guides are a year old or the updated process is scattered.
Before you install any roms make a stock backup so you have something to fall back on.

The reason TiB worked was it uses a modified busybox within the app itself, so that's why it worked okay.

Glad to hear everything worked out for you. Now as far as flashing a custom Rom do some research first and make sure you make a back up before flashing anything.
As the title suggests, my SuperUser keeps crashing on me. I tried to get on AdAway but it told me I needed Root access. I thought that was odd since I am rooted, so I tried another app and got the same message. Went on SuperUser and a message came up in the notification bar saying, "Your SU binary is outdated." So, I went to preferences and pressed update su binary. A couple seconds later I got a force close. App restarted, tried again, got same message. Booted into recovery mode, flashed update.zip in attempt to re-root but to no avail,. SuperUser still won't update. Anyone know what's happening and how to fix it?

SuperUser is better for me
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!

I think I need to do a Flashback on my Tablet so I can truly root it. I've tried a few ways to root it and all have failed. SuperUser won't open at all. Tried to Towelroot, even tried Stump Root and Stump says the device is already rooted, but I know it's not...

Got CWM into come up, but can't find the SU Zip file... So I just did the reboot from CWM... Now all it does is run a bit slower. SU trys to open, but stats Binary issues. Nothing changed, but slower device now.

When I got CWM opened I did a System wipe factory reset.
Then tried to use towelroot again... Didn't work...

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

I've rooted my device a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 model#SM-217S unsuccessfully but can't get the SuperUser application to install properly. I used the Kingroot app to root it originally. Now I can't add the SU application. I can get into the TWRP recovery which I am assuming that it's been rooted.
Not sure what to do here at this point
Thanks
Try installing a SU app manually? (Superuser/SuperSU on Google Play)
It may ask you to update SU binary trough recovery, creating a zip for you to flash
flash this through twrp and thank me in the morning
