Haven't run into this issue specifically, but you can try updating your Superuser binary whether it says it's up to date or not.
It's under the Tools menu in the SU app.

OK there was an update. I see one option failed? Is this important? What is it?

Mounting system as read only. Fail is okay.

Hi,
Maybe not a (your) solution but sometimes Superuser really sucks ,like many I have had problems with it so I switched to Super SU,no more issues

OK I tried but that still didn't work. It still says its stopped.

Could be a Rom Manager issue, does it do it any other time? I've never used RM personally so can't confirm.

It does it when I try and backup/restore and reboot in recovery. I Aldo tried restoring and it didn't have the md5 sums matched up.

Having the same issue
I feel ya buddy, I keep having superuser stop/crash while trying to do anything but flash CWM. Really annoying.
Running ICS 4.04 on GNex (Verizon)

ROM Manager hardly (if ever) works. I'm starting to regret having bought the premium version.

I've read a few places that rom manager and cwm don't 'get along' very well, that's if you're using cwm of course

If that is true, it's a damn shame, considering clockworkmod recovery and ROM Manager are both made by the same developer. (Koushik Dutta)

It isn't exactly a problem...
And non-native app will cause this.
Superuser is granting SU access to allow the phone to reboot.
So as soon as it's granted the process is killed...causing it to throw an error.
It isn't a problem.

Problem solved

The problem was that the reboot returned Andy on his back with a red triangle in his servicehatch, no matter what I did..
Your ultimate guide (awesome guide by the way:good gave me a hint that the problem wasn't with superuser, but with my flashed cwm. I manually reflashed cwm, reflashed superuser. I dumped the su.zip file I had used and replaced it with the file in your guide. A bootloop later, all is good and up and running
Now running CM9 and ADW.
Thx alot for your awesome guide, I will recommend it for everyone looking for the basics, like me.

Try to reinstall superSU it works better on jelly bean than superuser. If you use superuser on a jelly bean rom your more likely to have problems

Flash this CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip
Then update binary.

Both work properly. You are probably flashing an older version of each.

Yes. If you have the stock recovery
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I'm rooted with stock recovery and received OTA. Before I proceeded with the install, I removed the one additional app I had placed in system\apps (I heard any mods in there may prevent successful installation of OTA). The install of 4.2.1 went fine. Although it seems I've lost root. I can no longer mount the system dir to put that one app back. Easy enough to re-root.

Just make sure you back up your internal storage if you need to unlock the bootloader again. I learned the hard way that this wipes all of your data.

[Q] 4.3 Problems After Update

Hey guys, so before I got the OTA update to 4.3, my Gnex was rooted with stock recovery and stock rom. So now when I got the OTA update, my phone still has the SuperSU app installed but has lost root. Now I want to uninstall SU from my device. Is it possible to do this by going into Root Explorer, then deleting the "su" file in the 'xbin' folder, and then deleting the "Superuser.apk" file in the "apps" folder? Oh, and BTW, ever since I updated, my phone doesn't let me install apk files. I downloaded the Hovering Controls app on the XDA thread and when I click on the file, the package installer opens up. However, it doesn't register a press on the install button on the bottom right corner. I have tried this with a number of apk files but they don't work. Does anyone know a solution?
Thanks

if you dont have root, how do you expect to delete something out of xbin?

Thanks for the reply. So what would you recommend to remove super su from my device?

Go into the Superuser app settings and scroll down to find Full Unroot. See if that does the trick.

Unfortunately, I can't even go into the SuperSU app because it says that "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it."

JL969u is the user who posted this fix make sure to goto the original thread and give him thanks.

i think there a easier way
just use titanium backup to convert superuser to system app

Here is your root in english, no need to watch video.
Supersu has been uploaded too.
After root install superSU and do as promted, it will remove the installed root app.
Now go to apps and uninstall the chinese app that vroot installed.
For OCD clearance do a wipe ?

If you've got root, try running freegee. Don't know if it works on the 10p update as I immediately downgraded when I got my new phone.

vroot worked great for me on 10p. Why wouldn't it be safe?

I'm sure it worked great. Google vroot, and Kingo. Both are known to be malicious rooting apps

Crap well I used it. Right after I rooted I did remove the superuser install the one I traditionally use. Deleted the original and updated the binaries twice. I guess I will have to live with it.

Freegee loaded. Got twrp installed

Well the problem with vroot is that it supposedly Logs and uploads IMEI Numbers to servers in china(possibly). The idea around that is well they could use those IMEI numbers to take a stolen phone or Chinese phone and give it the uploaded US IMEI and then create a activation outside of the US.

Well, just dog the same trick as stated within the Universal Root thread - quickly press the home key after the 2nd LG logo appears and the back and menu button flashes at the bottom, self tested.
