If you have superSU from the play store, there us an option to permently unroot. If not use root explore or an app similer to delete the Superuser apk and the SU binary file in system/xbin folder. Reboot your phone and try an app the need superuser permission.

I know this is part of superuser, but I don't use that anymore, I use SuperSU. I removed the Superuser app after I installed SuperSU, and everything still works, still rooted, SuperSU handles root access, but this program still remains. And I am getting force closes from it.
How do I remove it?
Did you try to use root explorer and just delete it?

I did a search of my SD card and the phone itself, I can't find the actual file.
I have the same problem, where is the file?
Install link2sd or titaniumbackup and remove it.

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 ...

It's app for system optimization or something like firewall, kill auto run apps, process management...
Ok... were you able to get root access?

How do you go about switching from superuser to supersu?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I dont think I understand your question. The su text entered into the terminal gives the terminal su access and is denoted by this symbol #, giving the terminal su access, but the superuser app always has access and asks you if you want to allow certain apps that require it access as well. Hope that helps!!

Let me try to clear it up a bit...I just got the s3 and I noticed that most roms use the root app "superuser" I have had better luck with android 4.0 + using the other root app by chainfire "supersu" my quesion is what is the best way to switch the root app that you use to grant su permissions...thanks for your help!

Gotcha. Read the description of the app...

*sigh* There are times I wish we had a thumbs down option....
Here was the steps I was given, it worked for me without a problem.
1. Install SuperSu from Play and update binaries. Make sure it achieves root.
2. Delete Superuser.apk from system/app using a root file manager.
3. Install Superuser from Play.
4. Uninstall Superuser thru Play.
5. Reboot phone.
This will permanently get rid of Superuser and SuperSU should retain root functionality.

thanks, i did the first half, didnt think about the reinstall though
Hello,
I have rooted my phone using the XDA suggested app. I have installed SuperUser but no apps are asking for permission to join the superuser app. Also the apps that I have (a file app like file explorer) that has the option to enable root, fails. I am trying to add the Google play store but it says "force close" everytime I try to launch it. I know that my problem is that I do not have the vending.apk in the correct directory but without the ability to write to my app folder I can't do anything... PLEASE HELP!

I didn't go back to stock but I did re-root and now it works like a dream!!! My free file explore has superuser rights AND I was able to install the Google Play Store! It runs flawlessly. I am super excited if ya couldn't tell. Thanks again!

If i use es file explorer and use the app mgr then press system app and select which app i want to uninstall and it says uninstall failed. Root explorer is on and system is mounted rw. If i use tibu to uninstall a system app it will say apk cant be located. Im on moar v8 with stock kernel but this same thing was also occurring on ktoonsez kernel as well. Supersu is set to allow and show notifications. How do fix this?

I usually use root explorer and go to root, system, app, and then delete whichever apk I choose. Have you tried that method?

That does work. It only started happening since 4.3 i think the emulated directories is what is causing the problem
