I always used SuperSU. This VENOM VIPER DHD ROM is installed with SuperUser. While these two programs are exactly the same but ... childish caprice: I want SuperSU!
Never mind, I installed SuperSU but how to uninstall SuperUser? An idea?
Oups sorry this post is not at the good section Q&A
Use es file explorer with root access enabled

I just flash SuperSU from the zip in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053. It removes SuperUser automatically.
However, if you do it manually:
1. Install SuperSU from Play Store.
2. Open SuperSU and grant it SuperUser permissions (important; if you delete SuperUser before you grant rights to SuperSU you lose your root and need to either reflash the ROM or flash the zip I linked above).
3. Delete SuperUser from /system/app with a root file manager.
ok simply easy!!

Hm, that's odd. It does for me; I've used it on every nightly flash for about a month.
After VIPER rom installation, superuser was installed automatically.
And after automatic reinstalling application by google, i found with this two applications installed.
So, it maybe because i have not installed supersu manually...

I have had some problems with JellyBean and SuperUser. For example, it wouldn't save my settings that automatically gave certain apps su rights, so I had to keep granting rights through the pop up.

Does the SuperUser app you're talking about have the standard Android pirate icon or a black and white hash tag? Team Venom has its own superuser app so I guess its named VenomSuperuser.apk or something like that in /system/app. The SuperSU flashable zip deletes SuperUser.apk if it is there but doesn't delete this because it has a different filename. I don't know if the ViperDHD has the Venom superuser app or the normal one, but that's how it is in ViperX for the One X. First flash SuperSU zip, open the app and update su binary, then to go /system/app and manually delete VenomSuperuser.apk or whatever its called. Then you'll have SuperSU properly installed. Another way is to delete the Venom apk in the ViperDHD ROM zip and put in SuperSU and the su binary in respective folders. But I suggest using the custom Venom app (if it is there) because it works just fine and is easier than doing this for every ROM update (out of experience on the One X).

If you have deleted the superuser before installing supersu (like I did on viperx!) you should flash it from cwm and it should be fine. It will not work if you just download it from the store.
Download SuperSU from Play Store, in the app go to settings, click Switch superuser app. Once finished, both apps will have gone, then just redownload SuperSU.
This is what I have to do every-time I flash a new CM10.1 nightly.

This is how I replaced SuperUser with SuperSU.
1) Use Root Explorer and delete SuperUser.Apk from the /system/app folder.
2) Go to the Android Market and download and install Super User.
3) Use Root Explorer again and delete SU from /system/bin.
4) Go to the Market and uninstall Super User.
5) Go to the Market and install SuperSU (and Pro Key to support the developer).

Thank you. It is not a Desire HD, but, on a generic tablet, I followed the manual method, and now I have SuperSU running, but it is in /data/app. Before, Superuser was in /system/app. I would like to put SuperSU in /system/app. Can I just move it? I am afraid that something bad will happen, if I try to move it.
I thought supersu had an option tom move it to system/app. Look in settings.

Does anyone know how to remove superSU that came installed as a system app and replace it with superuser? I've been able to remove superSU using ADB, but now superuser says there aren't any binaries.
get superuser from the play market, install it, open it, update the binaries, delete supersu from /system/app/, then reboot.

should i have updated binaries before deleting superSU? that's the only step i didnt do and superuser said no binaries detected (and doesnt give an option to update).
Edit: I flashed the binaries posted by chainsDD and everything works great now. Thanks simms!
sweet
why did you want to change anyways?
Thank you!!! I like superuser so much more than supersu!

Hello All,
I followed the tutorial on how to root HTC One X with Hasoon2000's HTC One X All-In-One Toolkit.
I encountered a little problem installing CWM 5.8.2.7, so I manually installed 5.8.4 (which works great).
then I went on and did the root thing through the software.
It all seems good - I got the SU file under System/xbin, and got Superuser app on my phone. But when I try to work with things that need root, it tells me that I don't have root permissions. Even downloaded Root Checker - and it also says I don't have any.
now, when I try to install SuperSU from the recovery mode (install from zip), it tells me I can't, probably because Superuser is installed.
and ofcourse I can delete the SU file and Superuser, cause I don't have root permissions.
What can I do?
Thanks all!
P.S
I'm new to all the rooting and stuff, so go easy on me

just transfer the file onto your phone, reboot into CWM then flash zip via CWM. reboot phone and root should be done, that's all I did
It worked! Thanks alot
I installed Philz touch recovery earlier, went to reboot and it told me I wasn't rooted. So i let it root me, and nothing happened (it rebooted but no superuser or anyhing, and no root apps worked). I used Dr Ketan's tool, and let it root, install busybox and remove knox.
I updated superSU (it force closed by default), and then titanium backup asked for root and I granted it. But it says root access - failed."The attempt was made using the "/system/xbin/su" command."
I tried to uninstall gmail through ES file explorer, but it says "unfortunately, ES file explorer has stopped" if you try and do it. Adfree android worked though, and so did rootchecker ("success"), as well as busybox updating and an app that reboots you straight to recovery.
I'm really confused and could do with this root working :S Thanks!
Try flashing this zip

Download ROM manager from Play Store and run Fix Permisison, After RM done reboot your phone and then try.

WARNING: THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP
This is a modified kernel for Android 5.0 that allows root to work.
This kernel alone will not grant root access.
Flash this in custom recovery to obtain root: http://download.chainfire.eu/591/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.17.zip
The kernel boot.img can be flashed using fastboot.
Credit goes to Chainfire. After seeing this post: https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/VxjfYJnZAXP ,
I took it upon myself to decompile, edit, then recompile the stock manta LPX13D kernel since he had only done so for the Nexus5/7.
Link: https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/ZzXaU1W7Uzm
Keep in mind this kernel allows root to work, but most apps that require root will need to be updated in order to fully work on Android 5.0.
Chainfire explains this in greater detail in the first G+ post i linked.
Damn, titanium backup is a no go.
great! works perfect, thanks a lot

So far I've only restored a previous backup of flappybird from tibu on 5.0, I'm restoring a twrp backup of kitkat now so i can run a new backup in tibu, then restore lollipop, then test all the things!
It force closes when trying to sync with my Google cloud backup.
So far I've found that the experimental version of TiBu fails to uninstall system apps claiming "Cannot remove system app, failed to locate the apk file."
But... It does restore backups (app + data)

Aw man. That's all I really want right now. I'm about to give rooting this a shot now. Hopefully to try out some ad removing stuff like adaway! Thanks for the updates on TiBu!
I can't seem to get this to work. I flashed the boot.img via fastboot using "fastboot erase boot" followed by "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and then I reboot into recovery to flash the superuser zip in this thread..and I still get the same error with SuperSU about missing stuff and all root apps I've tried say I'm not rooted. I'm using the latest TWRP. Anything I'm missing?
Off topic: if you only need root to restore TiBu backup - create update zip from your backup, then flash the update zip in recovery. No root needed.
On topic: since you followed Chainfires' method, this won't set the whole system to permissive, right?
edit: I believe not, if TiBu is not working with this boot image. TiBu has not adopted to the new 5.0 SELinux environment yet.
Thanks for this kernel. İs there anybody tried this kernel ? I havent got much experience about android.
Thanks, this gave me root. Just need to wait for the various apps to be updated in due course. First one I tried, rashr, gained root access but said device not supported.
as an aside, anyone looking to block ads with or without root you can always flash this from recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916098
Keep up to date with the latest versions of TiBu. Check out their Twitter feed.

The first test version I linked was older. I haven't had a chance to test this one yet.
Flashed the modified boot image & flashed SuperSu 2.17
SuperSU app won't let me update the binaries - so no root. SuperSU 2.16 doesn't work for me either.
Where to look? Can't find flashable SU binaries either.
Thanks!

If you flashed the boot.img and the SuperSU zip, root access should work.
The SuperSU zip includes the SuperSu app and the su binaries. It won't let you update the binaries because 2.16 is the latest stable release.
To test root:
Download and open Terminal Emulator > type "su" > you should get a SuperSU promt > grant access to Terminal Emulator.
The $ should now be a # , this confirms you are using the shell as root user.

Did you granted root access to Lucky Patcher/whatever app you want to use with root? (you do this in the dialog that appears when these apps requires root, but remember that you need to have installed the superSU app)

Same thing on stock rom with SuperSU (not sure MagiskSU). Mods to /system can only be done "effectively" in recovery.
Example, to delete system app, you can use the built-in File Manager option (TWRP -> Advanced) to do it manually.

That means live-patch dont "stick" on reboot and I was trying to hint that it can only be effectively done in recovery.
In your case (odexing a rom), you need a pre-compiled ZIP package and flash via TWRP.
