[Q] Superuser binary update failed - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, got a problem which I cannot solve and I do not find a solution.. So I have Android Revolution HD 9.0 installed, and few days ago Superuser updated itself. It's the one from Clockworkmod. Now it says that su binary needs to be updated, but the install always fails and says to send a log. Same thing happens if I select the "Recovery install".
Where is this log, and what I could do? I am using 4EXT Recovery.

Yeah I have the same problem.

Hey there
Have you tried re-flashing the ROM? Is the superuser update causing any issues (ie not giving out root access?)
You can always try using SuperSU (alternative to SuoerUser) although you'll have to look in the SuoerUser settings in order to find the option to change SU granting programs

"su binary is not updated" - problem updating

Hello,
I have stock rooted rom 2.29.405.5 (with Apps2SD).
Recently superuser app has been updated to the newest version.
After that I am getting a notification about "su binary not updated".
Clicked on it and got the "Updating Binary" which informs me about an update of the su binary.
The problem is that when I click "update" the whole procedure fails when it tries this "Remounting /system as rw".
What is wrong?
Thank you!
Are you s-off? If so not sure what the problem is. If you're not s-off, that's your problem

the problem is that without s-off, an app cant write on /system while the phone is booted
u have 2 options:
-uninstall the super user update, and continue to use the old one
-install the super user update (apk + su binary) flashing from the recovery this zip
Thank you both for your replies.
I am still s-on but planning to change that.
But for now, I copy the zip to the sd card. Reboot into recovery and use flash zip from sd? Are there any other things I have to do before flashing the zip?

If u updated super user through the market, uninstall the update..after that flash the zip in recovery
I haven't done any actions to update it, more likely, it was automatically updated via market.
Unistall the update? How? If I unistall something, this would be the application itself (I mean I only know unistalling applications - is there any way to unistall updates?)

u never looked in settings/applications?
super user i guess is a system app (like gmails, gmaps, gtalk, etc)..so u can't uninstall those applications..but u can uninstall updates for those applications..mean for system apps u can only uninstall updates
so go in settings/applications, select super user app and u should see uninstall updates, if yes do uninstall updates, if not then its ok and flash the zip
do a nandroid backup in recovery before touch something, just to be sure
I hadn't checked system applications so far.
Unistalled the update, did a nandroid backup and flashed the zip!
Everything OK now!
Thanks a lot for your help!
Many many thanks!!!
what does the zip need to be named?
Does the zip need to be named update or does it stayed named like it is?
Name it whatever makes you happy. Remember its whats on the inside that counts.

I'm getting the same warning message with my market updated su, when I open Titanium Backup but it hasn't affected anything. I just ignore the message and everything still seems to work. Am I missing something?

I have uninstalled SU and installed the super user update and I get the following error when I update the binary updater:
"Failed to find currently installed su binary. Update cannot continue"
UPDATE:
I downloaded and installed the binary file (su-3.0-bin-efgh-signed.zip) from androidsu.com and now get FC error "The application Superuser has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
Thanks for your help.
When this issue occurred for I found that just by simply reflashing the SU zip in recovery and then running the update fix it seemed to fix it. I think for me it may have had to do with using an outdated version though.
su binary update failed..
Hi, I'm using CyanogenMod 7.1.0 RLS3 for Kaiser.. Today I got a "su binary outdated" I try to update it.. Going ok until "Moving su to it's final location - Fail" how to solve this? guide me please.. I'm newbie..
Hi, I had rooted my Garmin-Asus A50 about a year ago with help from these fora. Also installed Titanium backup and other related apps.
My question: upon waking thisr morning and waking the phone, a message said "SU binary outdated - tap to update" I let it update without thinking -but immediately had doubts about some trojan doing this to gain access.
So I switched off the phone and am trying to gather some info here and on WP. From your post I see that this 'update' message may be legit - or am I wrong?
Thanks ffor any further tips.

[Q] Vzw G-Nex running CM10 and su problem

I'm on a Vzw G-Nex and running the CM10 nightlies. the issue I'm having is that some apps like Titanium get superuser privileges and that gets remembered. other apps, like Wireless Tether, it asks me EVERY time I after I launch and then select the start tether and then again when I select stop tether.
I also see a warning when in CW recovery that root appears broken and it offers to fix that but I found out the hard way that this doesn't seem to fix anything and can break things instead...
when the phone was running the stock rom and was just unlocked and rooted, I did not have this issue.
it would seem that I'm partway rooted and partway not? any suggestions/ideas please?

anyone got anything?

use supersu instead of superuser. heres a flashable in recovery version http://download.chainfire.eu/212/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip
after you flash, open the supersu app, if it says to update your su binaries, press yes. if the problem still persists, update your busybox.

Hello, My HTC Desire has
MIUI Android v. 4.1.1
Kernel v. 2.6.38.8
Build nr.2.8.17 MIUI
I am trying the above unsuccesfuly
SuperSU 0.96 will say Installation failed when trying to update (tried several times)
I then disabled as advised and I get a message that uninstallation failed (even if the button is then in the off position)
I install the old superuser, I tap to check updates and I get the following errors:
1. The checked version is 3.0 rather than 3.1.1 (which I think it's not an error since I am using an older version)
2. Everything is OK until is trying to Copying su to system... fail!
Any ideea why?
Thank you!
P.S. Nevermind, I found SU update FIX on googleplay and it did the job.

Thanks a ton for this fix! I was about to throw my phone out of the window but you saved its life.
In step 2. I think it's easier to say: Open SuperSU and deny root access on the Superuser prompt.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing (destructive).
I just say this because I couldn't find an option to add a denied application in Superuser. Maybe I didn't search too hard...
This works with Xperia-ICS v2i ROM port (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1855768).

Issue Resolved :"Supersu binary failed"
Amigos,
Who is having issue of SuperSU Binary update than they should download the attachment which is an update for SuperSU & install or flash it through "Recovery mode" & reboot. It takes while to get up your device but it works for me.
Cheers.
This is what worked for me:
1. Install Superuser by ChainsDD.
2. Install SuperSU.
3. When the Superuser prompt comes up, click allow.
4. Update the binaries.
Thanks

[Q] Lost root when updating Busybox

Hello All - hope you can help me.
Until a few days ago I was on JSS15Q, unlocked and rooted using the excellent Wugfresh NRT. I downloaded an update to BusyBox as I was prompted, and since then I've lost root.
BusyBox (now v9.3) has a message stating "There was a problem opening a shell with root access. This is either being caused by superuser/supersu or by a device that is inproperly rooted. Try removing superuser/supersu permissions, uninstaling this application, reinstalling this application, and then regranting superuser/supersu permissions for this application."
SuperSU (now v1.65) has the message "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!".
Since losing root I've done the JSS15R OTA without issue, and last night I tried re-rooting using NRT (latest version) , but the same error messages as above appear.
Is there something obvious (and fool-proof!) that I can do to fix this? Is there any detail I've omitted?
Epic thanks in advance - Digi

Boot into TWRP and install SuperSU 1.55 (the 1.65 install script is a placeholder that does nothing)
http://download.chainfire.eu/346/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.55.zip
sfhub - thanks
Before I boot into TWRP, what will installing SuperSU 1.55 actually do, if I'm already on 1.65? Why has updating BusyBox caused this problem, or is that a coincidental thing?

If you post the install script for the busybox you installed I can probably tell you what went wrong, but without that, any number of things could have gone awry.
SuperSU 1.55 should be OK to install on top of 1.65. It usually makes a reasonable attempt at cleaning up past installs before installing itself.
OK - how do I go about getting the install script? - I'd really like to find out what happened and why (might help someone else too!)
It is in the apk for busybox.
sfhub - thanks for your help. Root has been restored!
I installed SuperSU 1.55 via TWRP - I still don't know what went wrong or why, but it's fixed now - cheers. Now, where's that thank you button...

Cannot update super su binary

I occasionally get a message stating "cannot update supersu binary. This is a problem" (something to that nature). I usually fix this problem by going into philz recovery and fixing root or manually flashing an older version of supersu. However, every time I reboot the phone I get the same "cannot update supersu binary". I am wondering if this could be a recovery issue. Every time I reboot through recovery or just reboot I have to update binary again. Is there a setting on philz that I am unaware of? I recently downloaded twrp manager and cleared cache and dalvik through that and when the phone rebooted I had no binary update issues.
Another thing I was wondering is could this be a Knox problem? I actually tried ota update to 4.3 ( i was rooted in 4.1.2) and it failed. Some time after manually upgrading to 4.3 I received a android security upgrade request. I did not accept the ota update. Is there any way to check if I have knox on my phone? Thank you

One thing I noticed. I dl a previous version of super su in recovery. I will have root access and all my apps that require root will work but there is no super su app. Once I dl supersu from playstore I will not be able to use apps that require root after rebooting
