[Q] SuperUser is being weird - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I'm running 4.1.1 via Bugless Beast and am loving it. Odd issue though.
When I reboot my phone, it takes like 3-4 minutes before SU can grant root access to root apps. So, if I try to run any root apps before SU "catches up" they just fail. Don't think this was a problem before upgrading to JB.
This may be related, so I figured I'd mention it too: My Trinity Kernal settings don't seem to stick though a reboot. Any ideas?

Just tried re-installing SU from CWR -- no dice. This isn't a deal breaker, but it is rather annoying. Everything works fine after 5 minutes or so.

Maybe try updating the binaries

SuperSU is the recommended superuser solution for JB. You might try making the switch and see if it works better for you.

here is a flashable SuperSU. after flashing it and booting, open up the SuperSU app. if it asks you to update the binaries, go ahead and do so. if it doesnt, then youre good at that point http://download.chainfire.eu/204/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip

Those people must have been using an old version or had other issues. There is nothing wrong with Superuser. http://androidsu.com/superuser/

then rom developers have been adding an older version of superuser. whatever it is, super su seems to have fixed many peoples issues with su in jelly bean..

I can second this. With Jellybro CM10, I have the 4-5 minute wait time with SuperUser, but zero wait time with SuperSU. It's happened on every single one of the nightlies that I've flashed.

Titanium Backup SU error?

Does anyone knows what this error means or how to fix it?
I assume you are rooted already? If so, I would grab the new superuser app that was just released and install it. That should clear up any SU permissions.
My guess is something didn't install correctly or got borked somehow. At any rate, update your superuser and see if that fixes it as the previous poster mentioned. I believe there is also an update to busybox on the market as well.

can somebody put screenshot of this new market?
My personal opinion is, that there's way too much bloat in new market.
Is there a way to get back old market on gsf23 ?

Yes. Get the latest v2 Market here http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip
and flash it in recovery.
Will it not self update itself to latest version if FOTAKILL.apk is not in the ROM?

Not sure about that, you can test.
Anyways, you can disable the market updating itself by using Terminal Emulator:
su

CWM-SuperSU-v0.87 vs Superuser-3.1.3

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
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP nightly with Franco Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz
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.

use fastboot and push the recovery image.
Questions like this is why before you use a tool box you should understand what it is doing first. The same method should work regardless of the version on nexus devices.
The way to do it didnt change at all...

I cannot gain root access with superuser 3.1.3 also, it fails to get root...
Existing 3.1.3 binary isn't working. Superuser app shows up, but no apps can get root, this happens: http://imgur.com/a/KePvc
Can't get Superuser 3.1.3 to work either... But it works without problems when using the SuperSU binary.

Since I coudn't get it to work with Superuse 3.1.3, I installed SuperSU (0.97). Everything works as expected... As soon as I switch back to the Superuser binary, root access is broken again.

The same way you root any other Nexus device.
Flash CWM recovery, flash SuperSu zip file. Takes about 10 seconds.

[Q] Advice on rooting method. Lost root, MasterX

I've always gotten along well browsing XDA, (and yes, using the search box ), but I'm at a point where I need some direction / advice.
I been rooted, and I recently got up and running with the Jedi MasterX without any issues. Then yesterday, after a boot I noticed that I had lost root. I actually believe it happened when SuperSU updated from the Play Store. (The message I get now from SuperSU is that "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem. ,...consult forums,..)
I've been trying to figure out the best way to reacquire root. I don't care about Knox status. If someone could point me in the right direction, I would be very thankful.

If youre on a ROM I assume you have a custom recovery. The easiest way is to just flash the supersu zip from chainfire

A dirty flash is when you reflash a Rom, clearing cache and dalvik, but not performing an entire factory reset. When I dirty flashed, the main components Rom got put back in place as if it were an initial flash, but my apps, customizations etc were largely untouched.
