SU Binary Update Failing - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

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

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.

Strange root problem

So, I was fully rooted (4.0.4 Stock) I just went in to try to remove another system app, using "System App remover" and it tells me that it cannot mount system R/W, so I go into root explorer, and go to system, and click the R/W button, and nothing.
System app remover was working fine before, as I have removed apps.
Any ideas?
**UPDATE**
I just restored back to when I KNOW I had root, and it is doing the same thing.

Maybe this time you denied SuperUser permissions?
Restoring nandroid backups has been nuking permissions for months now. You'll have to wipe and fresh install.

What about Fix permissions? would that fix it?
**Edit**
Interesting..............fix perms will fix it, but you can only go in once (system app remover), if you go out, and back in, it gives the same error

You don't need to fresh install. Grab the superuser flashable zip from androidsu's website (get the ARM one)
http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
Boot to recovery and flash it. Fixed it for me.

If your recovery isn't stock, you should be fine. If it is, you'll probably have to Odin a custom one on your phone and go from there.

Wiping everything and then installing. Darkside super and cache wipes first, then the ROM. Factory reset before you install can't hurt either.

[Q] Cyanogenmod 10 Installation Abort

So I am new to this whole Android/Smartphone thing. However over the past week I have learned so much.
However, I am unable to install Cyanogenmod 10 successfully. Each time I tried to install it through CWM all I would get is installation abort.
I have rooted my phone, wipe the phone memory, partition, and dalvik cache. Also, I am trying to install the lasted version of Cyanogenmod 10, I have put the file on the internal and external SD with no success.
Any help would be great, thanks.
Does it give an error?
Try TWRP instead of cwm.
Have you installed any mods or messed with the build.prop? Google wallet?

Last night I install a "cell stand by fix" maybe that is the problem, if so how do I get rid of it?
Wow that was stupid of me, I got the "cell stand by fix" for the GSIII I9300,I9305.
Not sure. You should link to it so we can see. But, if it were me id first try twrp and if that doesn't work then odin mrrobinsons root66 fw and then try again.

Here is the link to the cell fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732722.
Also how do you use twrp do you install it like you did with cwm?
Ill try to remember to pull tha apart later to take a look. It shouldn't cause you any problems though. It should've just replaced a couple files and it shouldn't be causing you any problems.
Yes you can install twrp any way you csn install cwm.
Easiest is to download goo manager from market, press menu and install openrecovery script.
That's it.

this has happened to me before....you are probably going to have to boot into download mode. Hopefully you have the samsung drivers loaded onto your pc. When you get odin booted up and it recognizes your device, click the .pdf button...that is the only button on odin you need to press!!!! When you are prompted for the file load the .tar file then click start....It may take 3-5 mins to finish it will reboot. You will now have to root again. Hope this helped.

Doing this worked good. I did flash 3 different recovery versions before rerooting my phone I think the permissions were corrupt.

[Q] Lost root

Ok so the story goes like this:
I have stockorama V2
Stock kernel
I was trying to install busybox with busybox installer from the play store, but it said I didn't have root access
So I went to superSU and did the uninstall from the app itself
Rebooted, installed superSU from play store, it told me to update su binary. Then it failed.
when I try to open SuperSU it says that "I don't have su binary... ...that's a problem" and then closes the app
I think I lost root, but I was wondering is there anyway to get it back without a PC.
I still got twrp recovery so I can still flash stuff

You can flash SuperSU via recovery using the link in my signature. Stockorama includes busybox. Don't install it.

Flash it in twrp 2.5 I think, did it 2 times... same thing
Its weird because I still get a toast (when I bootup) that lightflow gets superuser permisions; but when I open Titaniumbkp it gets stuck on a message "asking for root rights"
Btw superSU is as a system app so I can't uninstall before flashing the supersu.zip you guys gave me.

Well, make a nandroid backup just in case. I dont suggest using it as it may just bring back the problem. But you will at least have everything backed up if you need it later.
Aside from that, you can use the recoveries built in file manager. Also you could boot into recovery and then try to ADB pull what ever you need.
But I would reflash your rom. You only need to wipe dalvik if it is the same rom you are using now. But if that doesnt fix it you will need to do a factory reset at that point.
