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.
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
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.

Hi, I recently got a GSM Google Nexus from the Play store. Rooted it on ICS. Than got OTA for JB.
After the update I noticed that my Superuser permissions are acting weird like Rom Manager, Superuser itself and Quickboot are getting denied.
Also, Apex launcher reset itself to default without me doing anything.
And my GPS doesn't work on T-Mobile.
Is it one major problem, with a root issue or multiple problems with multiple issues?

explain? what do you mean you cant update?
heres a flashable in recovery SuperSU. flash it, boot up, open the app, and update to the most recent.
I can't update it, I downloaded SuperSU from the Playstore, hit update it says Superuser has been denied. I tried to update Superuser, it denies itself. It can't flash anything in recover because it won't reboot into clockmodROM, it says clockmodRom denied too.

I had a similar problem where my root permissions were acting weird after the OTA to JB. Also, my su binary was out of date and I couldn't update through Superuser. So I put the phone to debugging mode and hacked away with adb. I made sure I mounted system to r/w (which I could, I dunno why), I updated the su binary with a push and downloaded SuperSU through Google Play.
Guys/Gals,
I am running the newest version of PACman ROM by klin1344 on KToonsez Ktweaker kernel.
Cleanly installed, with newest Gapps
What I need help on:
I have an in settings superuser app (the new opensource settings integrated one from Koush) and I also have the standard SuperSU.
I was able to remove SuperSU, but wasn't getting prompted for any root requests afterwards. I also then went into the in-settings SU app to update the binary but wasn't prompted at all. I am wondering if I SHOULD be seeing a binary update prompt from the in-settings SU app? (this might be the extent of my issue) or if more steps need to be taken to migrate from 2 separate apps to one.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Edit:
turns out, after removing SuperSU and rebooting I still retained access to root but I am no longer getting prompted for it nor do any of the apps requesting the permission get logged in the in-settings Superuser app.
You need to install the superSU app

Gotcha and that handles which apps get access correct?
Is there anyway to boil it down to the single in-settings app? Or do u think supersu is the only way, currently, to handle su requests?
