I use the stock 4.0.3 rom, rooted by flashing the su binary to system.
Now I updated to the latest superuser market app, and it sees that there's a new version of su binary.
But when I try to update to this new su binary, everything else goes fine, but when it reaches the last step "Making sure new su works...", it says "Fail!".
What's going on?
Problem
I HAVE THIS PROBLEM Too i contacted chainfire but he doesnt answer me back.
Same issue here as well. It still grants all my apps superuser privileges though. I wonder if it matters?

Should I make a flashable zip with the latest su? That would work.

yes I'm having the same issue after flashing new ROM...but Tit Backup won't gain Root! ^^
Same issue.. The newest SU update is a fail. It's a total shock because it's always been solid in the past. We wouldn't be doing half the things we do on our phone without it

I also noted this when trying to update the binary on my GTab 7510. Only things I can suggest are choosing a ROM that has the latest Superuser + binary included, re-rooting with a newer root package, or uninstalling the update (although you constantly get the update notification which is annoying).
Same thing used to happen to me whenever I would try switching from SuperSU to Super User. Seems like SU anything from the market doesn't play nice with our phones.
i just reflash a root zip or superuser zip and that usually fixes it for me. no idea why its happening though.

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.

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
styles420 said:
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.
One of my main reasons for rooting is now not working any longer - Titanium backup. It used to work perfectly fine but.....
After the small incremental ICS update that came in a few days ago I of course lost root.
I re-rooted...and the first thing I noticed was that TiBu gave an error message about insufficient SU priviledges.
I re-rooted and SuperUser gave TiBu access as per normal..but the issue persisted.
I can backup...but when trying to restore ANYTHING it just hangs.
I factory-reset...re-installed SU and TiBu...issue still there.
Not sure what to do.
Has anyone who also got the latest small ICS update been able to restore apps from TiBu since then or could you try and let me know?
That would at least rule out the possiblity that something came in with that update that breaks the root process.
Update:
I even installed an old version of TiBu just in case, for any reason, the new TiBu version fro 5/27 was the culprit - but no, the same issue.
So its either;
a) The new, small ICS update broke something when using ZN's easy-root script, or
b) my tablet is fubar'd to the point that a factory reset can't get me to place where I can root and get the access priviledges needed for TiBu.
ANY thoughts?
note: i am rooted using ZN's easy-root script...is there any chance that with this new ICS update/patch something came in that is not giving sufficient SU priviliedges using that script?
And/or is there an alternative root process I can use to see if that works better?

Did you try reinstalling busy box? If that's not working TiBu won't work. Not sure if it directly affects SU or not, but try installing it and updating binary in SU settings.

I think I may have resolved it...
Using root explorer I mounted system directory as writable...I re-installed TiBu..it gave the same warning about priviledges..but this time it fixed it...I rebooted...and can now restore apps
I had a similar issue. Manually updating SU binaries, then Ti did a fix and rebooted. Working fine now.

I thought ZeroNull specifically said NOT to update busybox or you could break root for some apps. Has anyone successfully updated bb without breaking root? I had a problem after updating bb using jrummy's apk. I haven't tried the stericson apk.

I didn't say update I said reinstall first then maybe update, they updated on their own and it worked so it seems to be fine to do now. I use stericson's but I never updated nor have a need to it works fine.

Np you did have a point, it was said to not update it, but if all else fails updating may be all that's left without wiping and starting over. Or maybe advanced restore system....but yeah that sounds like more trouble.

Updating the binary didn't solve it for me. But a fresh install of Busybox took care of the issue and hasn't caused any other problems.

Same solution. I use ES explorer and allowed to mount system as writable. After that TB successfuly fixed permissions on su binary.

This originaly started as a flashable version of the su tools made available via the V6 Supercharger thread, specifically the ICS thread. Originally I made these flashables to address Segmentation Faults made noticeable during by zeppelinrox V6 scripting tools. Since I use these tools frequently, I plan to keep them up to date, and available for all. Unless otherwise noted, starting with "MS_Guru-One-Stop-su-Shop-v1.0-signed.zip" these flashables will be built as an "All Devices Compatible Flasher". If you find any of my tools helpful, hit the tanks button. I've attched all my installers, and you can also find my su tools and many more available at Goo.im. Happy flashing....
Don't install this on a GB build. This flashable is intended for ICS build's, and users receiving Segmentation Fault errors.
The same warnings from the V6 thread apply here: Installation Warning! If you mess up you will probably lose root! Have a nandroid backup! (But if you can follow instructions, you can restore your su binary with permissions still intact via ADB if I'm not mistaken)
Update 7-17-12: As of this date, "MS_Guru-One-Stop-su-Shop-v1.0-signed.zip" contains the most up to date Busybox, su binary, and Superuser app. Its signed, as well as flashable via CWM. Contained within this flashable you'll find.....
Busybox v1.20.2
Superuser.apk v3.1.3
su v3.1.1
Update 7-10-12: All of my tools and ROM's are now available from Goo.im. Check there for my latest and greatest. My most current full feature su flashable is MS_Guru-One-Stop-su-Shop_3.1.3_1.20.0_3.1.zip As of the posted date, it contains the most full feature, and stable, Superuser + su + Busybox tools available. Happy flashing... =)
Update 7-1-12: Superuser-3.1.3_Wraithdu-su+busybox-signed.zip
This CWM flashable is identical to "Update 6-30-12" in all respects except one. That difference being the upgrade of the Superuser app, from v3.1.2 to v3.1.3. Please reffer to "Update 6-30-12" for additional info.
Update 6-30-12: Superuser-3.1.2_Wraithdu-su+busybox-signed.zip
Included in this CWM flashable are the following files:
Superuser apk v3.1.2
wraithdu's modded su binary v3.1
wraithdu's Busybox v1.19.4, plus install script
Plus all permissions and symlinks are properly set
This corrects segmentation errors up to "V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-Update9_RC9_Test_18.sh". As of this date (6-30-2012) running the script "V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-Update9_RC10_Test_1.sh" causes su errors every time. I'm not sure if its the su or the script that's broken at the moment. I'm assuming V6, as I tested with both wraithdu's v3.1, as well as ChainsDD's. (( Just an FYI ))
Update 6-10-12: Superuser-3.1-alpha1_su-3.1_Busybox-v1.19.4-wraithdu-signed.zip
Same modded busybox and su as the 6-9 release, but I've included ChainsDD's Aplha 3.1 Superuser app This is an Alpha release, keep that in mind. But there's some pretty cool features in the latest Superuser app. Worthy of mention are "temp unroot" and "OTA Survival" (((I did NOT test these features, but the app seems to elevate permissions as expected))). For anyone curious, I received segmentation faults with the 3.1 binary list on ChainsDD's site, and the Busybox didn't fair so well either. Neither of which I've included. As of this date, avoid them both.:
Superuser apk Alpha v3.1
wraithdu's modded su binary v3.1
wraithdu's Busybox v1.19.4, plus install script
Plus all permissions and symlinks should be properly set
Update 6-9-12: Superuser-v3.0.7_su-3.1_Busybox-v1.19.4-wraithdu-signed.zip
I got tired of flashing multiple zips, so I compiled everything into one flashable. Included in this CWM flashable are the following files:
Superuser apk v3.0.7
wraithdu's modded su binary v3.1
wraithdu's Busybox v1.19.4, plus install script
Plus all permissions and symlinks should be properly set
6-8-12: The following contains only the Superuser apk v3.0.7 and wraithdu's modded su binary v3.1.
Superuser-3.1-signed.zip
Don't forget to thank:
wraithdu for his su binary and Busybox mod
zeppelinrox for the V6 thread, and all that it encompasses
ChainsDD's for everything he's contributed to the community

This is an updated version of Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip with wraithdu's 3.1 binary, signed and re-upped by yours truly.
This is mainly for ICS builds, and users getting Segmentation Fault errors. I have NOT tested this on GB builds as its unnecessary. If you flash it to a GB build and it causes you issues, your stupid and there's no hope for you.

Like I said, this is mainly for those with Segmentation Fault errors. I really can't say what will and won't work on a ROM that's yet to be released. But currently wraithdu's binary does correct the segmentation errors seen in the ICS builds available for download now.
I'd appreciate any feedback, granted the majority of this isn't my work, but I'll fix whatever I can if anyone encounters errors.

THIS SUPERUSER BUILD IS FOR ICS, ONLY. IT IS NOT FOR GINGERBREAD.

This superuser binary is really only needed if you are wanting to run the V6 Supercharger. There are links to a cwm flash able of this in the zepplinrox threads about V6.

Make sure you make a nandroid before trying this. I tried to use the copy and paste method in Zeppelins supercharger thread and I ended up losing root in the process. I'm not saying flashing this thru recovery will cause you to lose root, I'm just saying be safe.

Actually that's a Busybox installer. This flashable first removes the old su binary and symlink, copies over the 3.0.7 Superuser apk, wraithdu's modded 3.1 su binary, then sets appropriate permissions and symlink.
Thanks a bunch!!!

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?

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.
Guys/Gals,
I am running the newest version of PACman ROM by klin1344 on KToonsez Ktweaker kernel.
Cleanly installed, with newest Gapps
What I need help on:
I have an in settings superuser app (the new opensource settings integrated one from Koush) and I also have the standard SuperSU.
I was able to remove SuperSU, but wasn't getting prompted for any root requests afterwards. I also then went into the in-settings SU app to update the binary but wasn't prompted at all. I am wondering if I SHOULD be seeing a binary update prompt from the in-settings SU app? (this might be the extent of my issue) or if more steps need to be taken to migrate from 2 separate apps to one.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Gotcha and that handles which apps get access correct?
Is there anyway to boil it down to the single in-settings app? Or do u think supersu is the only way, currently, to handle su requests?
