I just rooted via purpledrake and installed twrp. Installed custom rom and everythjng seemed to be fine.
About 20 minutes later superuser started denying everything. I can still access twrp, titanium backup seems to boo ok, and then it started denying everything. I tried updating binaries and it denied that to. I downloaded rootchecker and says i don't have root. I can still access twrp and flash. Any ideas?
I am a noob, but I would wipe everything and restore my back up. I just had mine get stuck in a bootloop after superuser updated binaries.

I'm sure there's an easier way. it has to be something with the permissions somewhere. I'm going to re-root for now since that seems to be the quickest fix.

I got a superuser update and while updating one day it updated succesfully.. now all of a sudden ts prompting update again and its not updating.. its throwing a update failed error message.
Anything that needs root access like titanium says cant get root acces..
whats going on?
The kernel you are using may not have the proper signature to update to the 3.0 binary. You can try the superuser update fixer from the market, and then update the binary, or just uninstall the new superuser from the market to revert back. I find the update fixer works temporarily for me untill I reboot, then it tells me to update binary again. I just reverted back for now.

I had a similar issue, where I would get something like "Obtaining root access: Failed" whenever I tried to update the binary file. I would also get a random FC of Superuser.
I uninstalled Superuser to get to the original one when I rooted my phone, and updated again via Market. It updated the binary file fine now. Hope that helps!
Note, I do also have Superuser Elite, but I didn't modify that at all.

Had this happen a while back. Just clear the su cache and re-try, that should fix the error

Check the market, they've been updating the Superuser app, like crazy the last few days. I've now had about 3-4 updates (at least one per day).
Uninstall the update then unistall the super user app. Reinstall the super user app, reinstall the update, and then try again. This worked for me.
I had automatic updates enabled, I think it screws it up. So uncheck it and manually update it whenever it needs to be.
Here's a quoted answer from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18212299&postcount=2646

The developer of su stated on his website that the binary cannot be updated if it is installed in /sbin, because that directory is actually a part of boot.img, which remains read only even if the system partition is mounted with read-write access. This is exactly how it is installed in SRF 1.2 (and probably all earlier versions, as well as several other Epic roms).
Rom developers will need to change the su install directory in order for the su app to be able to update the binary.

But if you're using a stock setup, perhaps one of the other answers here would be more helpful.
One of my main reasons for rooting is now not working any longer - Titanium backup. It used to work perfectly fine but.....
After the small incremental ICS update that came in a few days ago I of course lost root.
I re-rooted...and the first thing I noticed was that TiBu gave an error message about insufficient SU priviledges.
I re-rooted and SuperUser gave TiBu access as per normal..but the issue persisted.
I can backup...but when trying to restore ANYTHING it just hangs.
I factory-reset...re-installed SU and TiBu...issue still there.
Not sure what to do.
Has anyone who also got the latest small ICS update been able to restore apps from TiBu since then or could you try and let me know?
That would at least rule out the possiblity that something came in with that update that breaks the root process.
Update:
I even installed an old version of TiBu just in case, for any reason, the new TiBu version fro 5/27 was the culprit - but no, the same issue.
So its either;
a) The new, small ICS update broke something when using ZN's easy-root script, or
b) my tablet is fubar'd to the point that a factory reset can't get me to place where I can root and get the access priviledges needed for TiBu.
ANY thoughts?
note: i am rooted using ZN's easy-root script...is there any chance that with this new ICS update/patch something came in that is not giving sufficient SU priviliedges using that script?
And/or is there an alternative root process I can use to see if that works better?

Did you try reinstalling busy box? If that's not working TiBu won't work. Not sure if it directly affects SU or not, but try installing it and updating binary in SU settings.

I think I may have resolved it...
Using root explorer I mounted system directory as writable...I re-installed TiBu..it gave the same warning about priviledges..but this time it fixed it...I rebooted...and can now restore apps
I had a similar issue. Manually updating SU binaries, then Ti did a fix and rebooted. Working fine now.

I thought ZeroNull specifically said NOT to update busybox or you could break root for some apps. Has anyone successfully updated bb without breaking root? I had a problem after updating bb using jrummy's apk. I haven't tried the stericson apk.

I didn't say update I said reinstall first then maybe update, they updated on their own and it worked so it seems to be fine to do now. I use stericson's but I never updated nor have a need to it works fine.

Np you did have a point, it was said to not update it, but if all else fails updating may be all that's left without wiping and starting over. Or maybe advanced restore system....but yeah that sounds like more trouble.

Updating the binary didn't solve it for me. But a fresh install of Busybox took care of the issue and hasn't caused any other problems.

Same solution. I use ES explorer and allowed to mount system as writable. After that TB successfuly fixed permissions on su binary.

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!

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.

Have any of you restored from a nandroid? That seems to be causing this issue for some people. The only solution I've seen is to reflash your ROM fresh.

Confirmed: Reflashing the ROM does fix the issue. Not sure why Nandroid restore messes that up. I wonder if its just the App or something embedded in the ROM ?
Pretty much getting the same errors. I've flashed multiple ROMs, thoroughly wiped, fixed permissions, reran/ updated SU and to no avail, root explorer does not have superuser access to certain folders in regards to establishing permissions and sometimes viewing content of a folder. I can install rooted apps and the run rooted apps.
This is an issue I have had. I know that reflashing a rom will fix the issue. but you can also download and use "supersu" instead of superuser. make sure you update your binary. if that does not work, download busybox. this seems to fix the problem for me. make sure you reboot after updating binary.
I was having this issues, I was on CWM 5.2.7, I updated to 6.x.x (touch) restored my backup, and viola! everything is back to normal. I have rebooted multiple times, and still have root!

I started from CWM 5.0.2.6, updated to 5.0.2.7 then went to TWRP 2.2.2. Maybe I lost it in flashing multiple recoveries?
I have an AT&T S3. I've rooted my phone using the Toolkit 2.3. In an attempt to make ISIS work, I unrooted my phone using Super SU. ISIS didn't work, so I rerooted using the toolkit. Now, the phone is rooted, Autorun Manager Pro recognizes root, but Titanium Backup, Permissions Pro, and the like show that my phone is not rooted. I also don't have the Superuser app. WTF am I doing incorrectly?
