[Q] Root issue? - Sony Xperia M

I'm on 4.1.2. I rooted my device with framaroot, installed busybox, run rootfix, done everything the guide told me to do. But when I go to terminal emulator and type su it doesn't ask for root permissions. I had installed Viper and it didn't ask for root on startup and hence I couldn't install drivers. I installed trickster mod and when I started it, it would just keep loading but wouldn't go further. So I checked SuperSU's log and it says it denied permission to viper and trickster mod. But it didn't even ask for permissions! What is the problem?!

Two questions,1 do you have the super su app, or superuser app?
2 if u have either of those, did u allow them to install the su binary?

SuperSu and yes I have. Other root apps work properly!

Will updating to EK02 from EG30 make SU go away?

I need to take my phone back to sprint, the microusb port doesn't work. I need to know soon before losing the charge. >,< If no, i'll still lose root, right? So can I remove superuser and update?
If you're updating from the ROMs around here, you'll not be losing root. If you download an official OTA update from Sprint, you will.
If u accept the ota u will lose root but u will still have superuser in your app drawer.

So could I remove the app using titanium or something after I lose root? Is there any way to?

Usually not, as the Superuser app is normally installed in the /system partition, which requires root to modify.

No u need root for titanium backup to work plus superuser is in system/app which needs root access. Best way to unroot is to use sfhub auto root and unroot tool in the development section. That would do it for u.

Unrooting using Auto Root doesn't actually need a computer. Only the rooting needs a computer. You can just transfer the Auto Root folder onto an sdcard and place it in the sd slot in your phone. Then run the unroot script from terminal.
You can also just unroot using root explorer, it just isn't automated, so you have to remember what to remove.
there's a Superuser.apk in /system/app, a data folder in /data/data, symlinks to busybox in /system/xbin, binaries for su and busybox in /system/bin and /system/xbin
It might be cleaner to use Mobile ODIN to flash a stock ROM.
Holy crap, thank you. You're a lifesaver ^^

No root acess after installing superuser

So I followed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514434 and installed superuser and then rebooted my phone. I tried using titanium backup and it says it doesn't have root access. I tried other apps that needed root access and they all said the same. If I have superuser installed, shouldn't I be rooted. What did I do wrong?
You install busy box?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Yeah I did, it says, "BusyBox Installer was not allowed root access!"
Try using the stickied (sticky'd?) root guide. It has version 3.0.5 of superuser. I had to use this version and then update via the superuser app.
Wipe cache and dalvik and then flash su

I would just Odin the stock ROM and start all over at this point if I was you. You may have trashed up the system at this point trying to do other stuff.

Alright I figured out my problem. The posted superuser zip was for android 1.6 devices. I found the correct zip and root works. Thanks guys!

Flash another rooting zip. Search for Universal Root. Or root using the Update.zip provided in the sticky. But unroot first.
Try this - root via cwm http://db.tt/I8oMJQRA
For unrooting - http://db.tt/UWiLeTen

Reflash your ROM.
this method works on me..
Unroot > turn phone on, wait till boot complete > reboot to recovery (stock) > root again
Mine did that not long ago. I downloaded SuperSU from the Play Store and used that for while
