Hi, I recently got a GSM Google Nexus from the Play store. Rooted it on ICS. Than got OTA for JB.
After the update I noticed that my Superuser permissions are acting weird like Rom Manager, Superuser itself and Quickboot are getting denied.
Also, Apex launcher reset itself to default without me doing anything.
And my GPS doesn't work on T-Mobile.
Is it one major problem, with a root issue or multiple problems with multiple issues?

explain? what do you mean you cant update?
heres a flashable in recovery SuperSU. flash it, boot up, open the app, and update to the most recent.
I can't update it, I downloaded SuperSU from the Playstore, hit update it says Superuser has been denied. I tried to update Superuser, it denies itself. It can't flash anything in recover because it won't reboot into clockmodROM, it says clockmodRom denied too.

I had a similar problem where my root permissions were acting weird after the OTA to JB. Also, my su binary was out of date and I couldn't update through Superuser. So I put the phone to debugging mode and hacked away with adb. I made sure I mounted system to r/w (which I could, I dunno why), I updated the su binary with a push and downloaded SuperSU through Google Play.

I got a superuser update and while updating one day it updated succesfully.. now all of a sudden ts prompting update again and its not updating.. its throwing a update failed error message.
Anything that needs root access like titanium says cant get root acces..
whats going on?
The kernel you are using may not have the proper signature to update to the 3.0 binary. You can try the superuser update fixer from the market, and then update the binary, or just uninstall the new superuser from the market to revert back. I find the update fixer works temporarily for me untill I reboot, then it tells me to update binary again. I just reverted back for now.

I had a similar issue, where I would get something like "Obtaining root access: Failed" whenever I tried to update the binary file. I would also get a random FC of Superuser.
I uninstalled Superuser to get to the original one when I rooted my phone, and updated again via Market. It updated the binary file fine now. Hope that helps!
Note, I do also have Superuser Elite, but I didn't modify that at all.

Had this happen a while back. Just clear the su cache and re-try, that should fix the error

Check the market, they've been updating the Superuser app, like crazy the last few days. I've now had about 3-4 updates (at least one per day).
Uninstall the update then unistall the super user app. Reinstall the super user app, reinstall the update, and then try again. This worked for me.
I had automatic updates enabled, I think it screws it up. So uncheck it and manually update it whenever it needs to be.
Here's a quoted answer from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18212299&postcount=2646

The developer of su stated on his website that the binary cannot be updated if it is installed in /sbin, because that directory is actually a part of boot.img, which remains read only even if the system partition is mounted with read-write access. This is exactly how it is installed in SRF 1.2 (and probably all earlier versions, as well as several other Epic roms).
Rom developers will need to change the su install directory in order for the su app to be able to update the binary.

But if you're using a stock setup, perhaps one of the other answers here would be more helpful.
How the hell did I lose root access? I flashed with unrevoked like 2 years ago... and all of a sudden my root apps are force closing...
I tried to re-root it using unrevoked and it says failed to obtain root...
WTF? in Hboot I have S-off still im on hboot 92
Did you get/apply an OTA?
No.... Im running cyanogen mod 7.1
Did you change anything ? flash a new rom? flash anything? update super user? install a new app? anything like that?
what version of superuser app and what version of busybox are installed?
--edit--
are the apps force closing, but after they initially launch successfully?
in other words... the problem is not with granting root permission , but simply with stability?
try this...
go in the settings of superuser app and enable logging;
try to launch the apps that you are having problems with;
check superuser log to see if root permission was granted when apps were launched;
if permissions were granted the problem is not root access....
Busy box are broken. wipe all and make a fresh install of your favorite room. That must fix it
Sorry 4 muy bad english

Well. i think i fixed my problem..
I installed Super SU on top of superuser... and then uninstalled Super SU...
Then superuser would not grant root access to my apps...
So then i reinstalled SuperSU and had it manage my root.. and got rid of superuser.

Hello Hox owners,
I rooted my hox a while ago.
Just before the latest update came.
To get the last update, I needed to go back to stock recovery.
This went well I thought but since I have the Wifi problems i was looking at my phone closer and saw I got the stock recovery but SU app still installed.
I want to gain root access again, remove the superuser app, and unroot it fully because I need to send my phone back for repair soon (I hope).
The clockwork was installed succesfully, the latest version of superuser as well, update binaries also flawless but somehow still no root access according to es filemanager and titanium backup...
What do I need to do to get this fix?
Thnx in advance!
Ralph

Maybe those apks were denied permissions for some reason. Try going into superuser & clearing all app default settings & reboot.

Thnx for the reply but no apps are visible inside SuperSU.
Titanium was installed after I "rerooted" my hox.
There is no clear cache option inside SuperSU, right?

Can you get root checker from the market. & confirm that the Su binaries we installed correctly? If that app says your rooted then maybe try clearing superuser data. & reopening your apps.

I am running AOKP JB B1, just like suddenly, some of my Apps like DX tool box and DX power booster can't gain root access anymore, but other apps like root explorer work fine, I tried to update supersu and binary, no good.
Then I thought maybe I screw up the system because lots kernel flashed, so I just reflash AOKP JB B1 with full wipe , but still no good...
Could it be application compatibility problem or something wrong at my end?

Just a guess but some apps look for Superuser.apk to confirm root access. If your ROM has SuperSU.apk as SuperSU.apk that could be the issue. When I flash a ROM with SuperSU I always change the name to Superuser.apk.

a. update your busybox, use stericsons busybox updater from the play market. open the app, update busybox.
b. open your superuser or supersu app and make sure that your binaries are updated and that root is enabled. superuser has known issues with jelly bean.
c. if aokp has an optional root or no choice, enable root.

unfortunately , still can't , busybox is updated. SuperSu has updated the binaries as well and i even set to gain permission without asking, still can't
all other apps like ROOT EXPLORER , TRITIUM BACK UP, FRANCO KERNEL UPDATER, PGM2 and something more were able to gain access to root , only these 2 can't
this is the app that can not gain access ...

Delete the Superuser.apk in the ROM (it's really SuperSU) and pull the "real" Superuser.apk from somewhere else.

Um, even easier...
Download SuperUser recovery flash zip and while still inside Android on device go to file manager open /system/apps and delete the SuperSU.apk
Now restart to recovery clear the cache and dalvick cache
choose install from SDCard
Find where you downloaded SuperUser.zip and flash
Restart
SuperSU is WAY better at handling Super User requests [for instance, it has a wait state on the pop-up where it does not go quite as fast so some apps that take a min to request super user and another min to display the pop you aren't already at 1 - 2 seconds] and for instance for quite some time Super User was known to seg fault [basically an error happens and it doesn't work to grant access right when that happens] whereas SuperSU was created later to kinda address that and some other issues in SuperUser [not saying SuperUser is bad it is updated and does it's job, it's just SuperSU does it better].
Just if any guide says use SuperUser just replace SuperUser with SuperSU when doing something and in app drawer just look under SuperSU for it's app and not SuperUser.
