I'm rooted stock 4.3, I hear the S3 has the 4.4.2 update? Is that true? What is the error in the attached screenshot mean as well? I'm connected to wifi and I get the error no matter what.
I also have another issue I'm curious about and rather than making a second post I'll ask that too.
I have the supersu app. My rooted apps completely detect root and work. I want to change from the supersu app to the Superuser app for personal preference. I get stuck at 'Making sure new su works'. Why? I also get this no matter what.
Screenshots of both issues attached.
The latest is 4.3. If you are rooted then you most likely have a custom recovery and that is why whatever OTA update you are trying to get is failing.

So, my sprint GS3 is rooted with SuperSu pro. The Android version that is on my phone is version 4.1.1 I never had a problem with the phone until one day it prompted me to upgrade the software and I accepted. The update was never successful. I have a picture attached that shows error message it gave. SuperSU pros' icon also doesn't show up anymore on my phone. My phone is still rooted because I can use Titanium back up pro. It has been acting up more and more ever since that first error message.
I've tried searching for similar problems on this website as well as on others but haven't found anything that's similar. I hope the picture helps and someone else who's experienced a similar problem can shed some light on mine because it's driving me crazy.
Have you verified Root, like with Root Checker ? It's Free in the Play Store. Have you tried to Update SU ?
It sounds like you were rooted and tried to get the 4.3 update. Luckily for you it didn't take. If you want 4.3, I would suggest you flash the Knox free version. Just follow the install instructions in the OP and it'll get you back rooted. If you want to stay on 4.1, try flashing super su update through cwm if it won't install from the play store.

Hello to all,
I recently rooted my sgs3 sph-L710 v4.3 and am experiencing some problems. Whenever I try to open superusers it automatically closes, and I receive a notification saying, "security notice an attempt to access a secure area on your phone without authorization has been blocked." After doing some research online I discovered that the 4.3 version is protected by KNOX. Online sources state that in order to defeat the KNOX system you must update supersu, but I am not sure how to do that. Whenever I download supersu from the Google play store there is no option to update it. I would really appreciate any help thanks.

Have you checked to make sure you haven't lost root? When you install an app from Google play, you get the latest version.

Also, have you actually opened up the SuperSU app? You need to open it up (not just download it) so that it will prompt you about disabling Knox, and it might also prompt you to update the binaries. And which custom recovery are you using? If need be, you can flash the SuperSU zip from recovery, and if you are using Philz Touch (HIGHLY recommended) there is an option to have it check for root before booting back into system.
I did it!!!

Yes I finally got it to work I just re rooted the device and superuser was gone. However, i downloaded supersu and it prompted me to update, i did and I was able to bypass knox! I think it was a problem with the method I used to get my phone rooted the first time. The video tutorial I watched the first time told me to uncheck the 2 boxes that come prechecked on odin i believe one of them was auto reboot i cant recall the other one. Then I took out the battery of the phone and selected the root file through mod recovery mode and that was it. The second time around I left the boxes checked and my phone auto restarted. I then downloaded supersu updated,rebooted, and Visalia!!!
Thanks guys I appreciate the help.
[Q] Root "disabled" itself!? (Rooted phone that is no longer allowing root access)
Anyone here with this phone (or any) - that is rooted - have it just seemingly act as if it is no longer rooted? or unjustly denying root access for no apparent reason....
Have been rooted since purchase and have never seen or had any issue with this..have flashed custom recovery and rom's hundreds of times...no problems...currently using Task's latest KK 4.4.4 rom and had no issues from beginning...
It comes with SuperUser...i do usually install SuperSU instead but hadn't tried yet...it was fine and apps that needed root appeared ok..even SuperUser has three or four listed apps in the "allow" section...but all of a sudden I can't seem to give root access to anything else now..
First noticed the other day when trying to sideload an apk..couldn't...tried to do it manually by just copying it to system/apps folder and that's when the first message came up saying "it appears your device may not be rooted"...quite odd I thought.. i then tried to install SuperSU and it when SuperUser popped up to give it allowable root access it would only timeout and say denied...i then tried a bunch of other apps that require root and they would all just get denied by SuperUser...
Anyone seen this before or know what causes this and/or how to fix?
THanks for any help or suggestions
ps.. i'm no noob and have been doing this a long time and have rooted/modded dozens of phones, hundreds of times...but this issue is a new one for me.. IF i have to completely wipe and even go back to stock image and then start over to re-root and re-mod... I will and can do so easily..but that would be last resort if necessary...thanks!
In SuperSU, try the clean-up for reinstallation option.

when launching SuperSU it needs root access to begin with and SuperUser wont allow..this clean up for reinstall is still doable?
Get the recovery flashable SuperSU then. It'll get rid of the other one in the process. You can get it from my sig, but it'll need to be updated after.
Want to block OTA updates on my 8.4 Wifi. Anyone know what apk/file(s) to rename/freeze to keep it from trying to update? I'm rooted, but still on the stock ROM.
I believe it will not update ota now that its rooted, simple test is to check for update, go through that, it should end up telling you something like, file have been change or modified or something and it wont let you update

It's trying to update & I just keep selecting the 3 hour postponement. I'm rooted and it's still trying. On my phone (GS4) I renamed the update apk, but I don't know the filename of the one on the tab.

On mine I went into 'settings/general/about device/software update' and unticked automatically check for updates. Then booted into recovery (stock recovery still on mine) and cleared the cache (which I believe deletes the OTA update file) then rebooted.
Since doing that I have not had any software update notifications and the OTA file hasn't reappeared.
My tab is on the original stock ROM and rooted with Towelroot.
Well for some reason the SuperSu keeps saying i have to update the binary and i already have the some what the latest one the 2.41 I'm on cm12 lollipop its getting a little annoying and also I'm trying to use gamekiller it keeps saying root permission and i already grant it permission i need help i didn't even have this problem when i was in the stock lg firmwire I really need help thanks
If you updated without rebooting into TWRP, you might want to try it the boot to TWRP way. I have experienced issues if I do it the other way. Worth a shot.
