hi , i use CM 7.2 . I wanted to run an application which would not run if the phone was rooted. After some R & D i thought may be because the app "superuser" is installed ,the application that i wanted to run is not working. Once i uninstalled the superuser app and reinstalled it again, the apps which need the root are not to get the root access,
do i need to flash again or is there a way to get back the root?
thanks

Is superuser getting root access? Try to do an update from inside the app to see.

Some apps like root explorer, rom manager and faster fix, which needs a phone rooted to work, are not working anymore. I have noticed these apps are not working when I flashed the latest radio- 26.14.04.28 and kernel Lordmod 8.5 cfs.
I reflashed to radio 26.09.04.11 (the recommended radio to use), reinstalled the apps but still none works.
I'm currently using cyanogenmod 7.1.0.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Try uninstalling super user and then reinstalling. Also when you re install check for update through program.

It won't let me to uninstall superuser but by denying i got fastet fix to work. Thanks
That means superuser is in system/app. You can uninstall superuser using adb if you know how. In terminal you would type "adb uninstall /system/app/superuser.apk". Then type adb reboot. After it boots install superuser from market. You may have to type "adb root" before trying to uninstall to receive root access.

That also didn't work. I just flashed the rom again, which was a bummer but it fixed everthing.
Thanks for your help mate
How the hell did I lose root access? I flashed with unrevoked like 2 years ago... and all of a sudden my root apps are force closing...
I tried to re-root it using unrevoked and it says failed to obtain root...
WTF? in Hboot I have S-off still im on hboot 92
Did you get/apply an OTA?
No.... Im running cyanogen mod 7.1
Did you change anything ? flash a new rom? flash anything? update super user? install a new app? anything like that?
what version of superuser app and what version of busybox are installed?
--edit--
are the apps force closing, but after they initially launch successfully?
in other words... the problem is not with granting root permission , but simply with stability?
try this...
go in the settings of superuser app and enable logging;
try to launch the apps that you are having problems with;
check superuser log to see if root permission was granted when apps were launched;
if permissions were granted the problem is not root access....
Busy box are broken. wipe all and make a fresh install of your favorite room. That must fix it
Sorry 4 muy bad english

Well. i think i fixed my problem..
I installed Super SU on top of superuser... and then uninstalled Super SU...
Then superuser would not grant root access to my apps...
So then i reinstalled SuperSU and had it manage my root.. and got rid of superuser.

Hello Hox owners,
I rooted my hox a while ago.
Just before the latest update came.
To get the last update, I needed to go back to stock recovery.
This went well I thought but since I have the Wifi problems i was looking at my phone closer and saw I got the stock recovery but SU app still installed.
I want to gain root access again, remove the superuser app, and unroot it fully because I need to send my phone back for repair soon (I hope).
The clockwork was installed succesfully, the latest version of superuser as well, update binaries also flawless but somehow still no root access according to es filemanager and titanium backup...
What do I need to do to get this fix?
Thnx in advance!
Ralph

Maybe those apks were denied permissions for some reason. Try going into superuser & clearing all app default settings & reboot.

Thnx for the reply but no apps are visible inside SuperSU.
Titanium was installed after I "rerooted" my hox.
There is no clear cache option inside SuperSU, right?

Can you get root checker from the market. & confirm that the Su binaries we installed correctly? If that app says your rooted then maybe try clearing superuser data. & reopening your apps.

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?

You need to uninstall SuperSU if you were rooted before installing cyanogenmod, as CM comes with another superuser app... SO go into your apps find superSU and uninstall it

You lose installed apps, settings that you set when you started the phone, WiFi, wallpaper, texts/phone log, contacts
If you pick to back up to Google when you first set up the rom you can restore all the above apart from texts and call logs.
