For some odd reason a few days ago SU started denying root permission. I have no clue what happened, someone please save me! Im running PA 1.5A, so I was obviously rooted before.
Flash an su zip from recovery, should fix it.

open superuser and check to see if you have the latest version. That could be the issue too.

okay i tried rooting my evo using unrevoked 3.2.1 method. i followed the directions and my phone goes to recovery and has super user permissions but i cant do anything. i tried flashing ra evo recovery and it said not found. i tried installing a rom and nothing happened, i also tried to reboot my phone in terminal and it said permission denied. i am familiar with rooting because i rooted my G1 but this seems way different i get the su pop ups for root apps and some find my root permissions while others dont... please help
I would just re-download ra recovery. Sounds like you had a bad download.
nevermind i guess i was just nervous but i got everything working now. i just used my common knowledge from my g1 rooting days and it was all the same stuff =) thanks thouh
Glad your got it working.enjoy

It seems that Superuser has problems with Nexus 4.0.4, SuperSu is running more smoothly with this rom, did anyone have the same problem if so help

Thats the first I'm hearing of problems.. ChainsDD SU works great for me!
while installing rom manager and flashing the recovery to make rom manager work it stucks after the download and can t get superuser grant and that on stock firmware. SuperSu did not have that problem, but i prefer using Superuser that is why i asked.
Weird when i have uninstalled the light flow led control application the problem i had with superuser was fixed
I've had zero problems ever with superuser and I'm also using LightFlow
have you tried booting into CWM recovery and fixing permissions?
are you running a rooted rom?
I have never even once had the slightest problem with ChainsDD's superuser. It has never failed me whatsoever in any aspect and I find it to be the best superuser management app there is.
I have made the switch to SuperSU as a ROM I flash had it. Like the featuresm, speed, and the icon is better ;-).
They both do the same. Just a matter of preference.
I tried supersu for a week, on stock. It seemed to allow access faster than superuser.
Just flashed cm9 nightly 2 days ago. I will probably be checking supersu on this setup in a few days to see if the same holds true.
For my purposes, many of the features of both are superfluous. Nice to have, but I really only rely on it to grant proper access. So I can't speak about the feature list... but I'll go on record saying su was granted faster by supersu.

The feature I like the most on SuperSU is the OTA Survival update (which is unfortunately available only on pro).

I also have never had that problem, and I have LF installed as well.

OTA Root Keeper does the "survival" feature and its a free app. I think its by the same dev.
Anyways I will prob never switch from SU, its always been good to me, I have the Elite version, and I see no benefit of SuperSU.
It's not by the same dev.
Anyway I prefer using SuperSU because it's updated more often.

Improvements are nice, but updates for the sake of updates, is like fixing something that is not broken.
I paid for superuser elite, all the features work, what more can I ask for?

Can anyone explain why im unable to change superuser binaries on this device?
ive rooted and tried three separate methods
I've rooted stock with kingoapp.com
Used the root flash zip in the cwm thread
Used this pre-rooted rom
Every time I install a new superuser and reboot I lose root.
Then I have to re-root and everything works again.
Based of the fact that all three install the same su binary I'm assuming it has something to do with that.

Has anyone else tried to switch to another superuser app? like the clockwork one or anything?
Hello, I cannot get either "Superuser" to work in mk4 4.3.
Every time I try, I end up having to dirty flash my ROM to get a working root again.
Any help is great!
Thanks

Because I've had so much interest, and so few takers, I'll add that this may be specific to Synergy ROM mk4. When I get a chance to flash lorjays again I may update my experience.

May I ask why do you prefer Superuser over SuperSU? Don't they kinda do the same thing with SuperSU being updated constantly?
Use Kingoroot. In the end it'll put SuperSU on your phone, but you should be able to then install Superuser and remove SuperSU.

Well, in the past, for whatever reason I had problems running an app or two using a certain su app.
I thought this may have been the problem with my current mk4 ROM, turns out it may relate to the boot.img that is currently being used.

I recently installed the 4.3 OTA update on my Samsung Galaxy S3, using the zips and instructions from these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387423
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538991
It went perfectly, without a hitch. Everything was running great, and I was loving everything about stock, de-samsungized 4.3, root and custom bootloader.
I was very interested in the dSploit app, and installed it, found out I needed Busybox. I installed it using the busybox installer. This is where the trouble begins. SuperSU needed a binary update after I installed busybox for some reason, even though I was fairly certain I already had the latest binaries. I tried running it through the automatic update with my teamwin bootloader, but it only booted into recovery and nothing installed. After googling it for a bit, decided to re-flash SuperSU. Suddenly, I began recieving the message "Unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped working" every time I tried to access anything requiring root priviledges. Anything that had already been granted root access (including Titanium Backup, thank goodness) seemed to work fine as long as it didn't need to request additional privileges. Unfortunately, I'm now locked out of ES File Explorer and the xposed framework (all prior installed modules continue to function though)
My initial thought was to wipe and reload using the process I used to get here in the first place, but I'm running 4.3 now, and I understand that downgrading is impossible now, and no flashable 4.3 stock roms seem to exist.
So I'm lost, guys. I need my root back somehow... If I forgot any information you think would be relevant and/or helpful, let me know and I'll provide anything you need. I've been googling and searching the forums for days, but I haven't found anyone with this exact problem.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling SuperSu?
Since SuperSU was flashed to the device via Odin, it is registered as a system app. The app store only has the open option, and I can't access the app in the system folder without root privileges, which it won't give me, so...
Yeah. Unless there's a script I can run through recovery, that's a dead end.

there is a zip of SuperSU you can flash from recovery

I've tried this. In fact, that was when SuperSU began force-closing. I just need to completely uninstall it and start fresh, I think.

Have you tried the cleanup/unroot options inside supersu settings? Then starting over?
I might not have stated this directly before, but the SuperSU app won't launch. I tap on it and immediately get the "Unfortunately" error. I have no way of accessing anything within the app.

Ok well then find one of the 4.3 roms in development that you can use. I'm on s3rx 3.0 and other than some hiccups (still a wip atm) that are liveable, its pretty stable. You can flash this safely in recovery without the bootloader/modem package since you already took the OTA without risk of bricking. Its prerooted so no worries there. Good luck

Thank you for that. It's always good to have a fallback option.
I'm still wondering though, is there a script I could flash that would completely remove SuperSU / BusyBox / superUSER (CWM) to scratch and allow me to re-flash CF-Autoroot? Barring that, how difficult would it be to code one myself?
FIXED IT.
Apparently, flashing the latest version of SuperSU from the developer's website (1.86) will not work on Android 4.3. I flashed version 1.65 as provided in the original 4.3 Rooting Guide, then updated it in the Play Store followed by a binary update and re-installed BusyBox, and everything is back to running order. Thank you all for your help and advice!
