Does anyone know how to remove superSU that came installed as a system app and replace it with superuser? I've been able to remove superSU using ADB, but now superuser says there aren't any binaries.
get superuser from the play market, install it, open it, update the binaries, delete supersu from /system/app/, then reboot.

should i have updated binaries before deleting superSU? that's the only step i didnt do and superuser said no binaries detected (and doesnt give an option to update).
Edit: I flashed the binaries posted by chainsDD and everything works great now. Thanks simms!
sweet
why did you want to change anyways?
Thank you!!! I like superuser so much more than supersu!

I guess partly I just wanted to know how and the other part was driven by the fact I bought superuser elite and wanted to use it.
I root my device with with Iroot and get root access and then playing game and my device get switch off then showing starting apps and when I swith on my device then lost my root access and get a superuser app which is not able to uninstall and continuously show su has been stop if I Tey to root again I get root access from iroot apk ,when try to check root access it show not garranted what to do my device is GT-S7582
I always used SuperSU. This VENOM VIPER DHD ROM is installed with SuperUser. While these two programs are exactly the same but ... childish caprice: I want SuperSU!
Never mind, I installed SuperSU but how to uninstall SuperUser? An idea?
Oups sorry this post is not at the good section Q&A
Use es file explorer with root access enabled

I just flash SuperSU from the zip in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053. It removes SuperUser automatically.
However, if you do it manually:
1. Install SuperSU from Play Store.
2. Open SuperSU and grant it SuperUser permissions (important; if you delete SuperUser before you grant rights to SuperSU you lose your root and need to either reflash the ROM or flash the zip I linked above).
3. Delete SuperUser from /system/app with a root file manager.
ok simply easy!!

Hm, that's odd. It does for me; I've used it on every nightly flash for about a month.
After VIPER rom installation, superuser was installed automatically.
And after automatic reinstalling application by google, i found with this two applications installed.
So, it maybe because i have not installed supersu manually...

I am using the ViperDHD ROM (btw, it's a awsome ROM) too. Just curious, why do you insist in using SuperSU? I have tried both Superuser and SuperSU, I can't finger out what's the difference on daily using...

I have had some problems with JellyBean and SuperUser. For example, it wouldn't save my settings that automatically gave certain apps su rights, so I had to keep granting rights through the pop up.

Does the SuperUser app you're talking about have the standard Android pirate icon or a black and white hash tag? Team Venom has its own superuser app so I guess its named VenomSuperuser.apk or something like that in /system/app. The SuperSU flashable zip deletes SuperUser.apk if it is there but doesn't delete this because it has a different filename. I don't know if the ViperDHD has the Venom superuser app or the normal one, but that's how it is in ViperX for the One X. First flash SuperSU zip, open the app and update su binary, then to go /system/app and manually delete VenomSuperuser.apk or whatever its called. Then you'll have SuperSU properly installed. Another way is to delete the Venom apk in the ViperDHD ROM zip and put in SuperSU and the su binary in respective folders. But I suggest using the custom Venom app (if it is there) because it works just fine and is easier than doing this for every ROM update (out of experience on the One X).

thank you
If you have deleted the superuser before installing supersu (like I did on viperx!) you should flash it from cwm and it should be fine. It will not work if you just download it from the store.
Download SuperSU from Play Store, in the app go to settings, click Switch superuser app. Once finished, both apps will have gone, then just redownload SuperSU.
This is what I have to do every-time I flash a new CM10.1 nightly.

This is how I replaced SuperUser with SuperSU.
1) Use Root Explorer and delete SuperUser.Apk from the /system/app folder.
2) Go to the Android Market and download and install Super User.
3) Use Root Explorer again and delete SU from /system/bin.
4) Go to the Market and uninstall Super User.
5) Go to the Market and install SuperSU (and Pro Key to support the developer).

Thank you. It is not a Desire HD, but, on a generic tablet, I followed the manual method, and now I have SuperSU running, but it is in /data/app. Before, Superuser was in /system/app. I would like to put SuperSU in /system/app. Can I just move it? I am afraid that something bad will happen, if I try to move it.
I thought supersu had an option tom move it to system/app. Look in settings.

I had rooted with Kingo and installed the chainfire SuperSU in Januarary. Titainin Backup, Rom Mgr, etc... all request permissions and were working fine. Then around the binning of Mar, I noticed that when updates for these apps installed, they didn't have SU access.
SuperSU has stopped working. Root Checker states device is not-rooted. If I un-install Chainfire SuperSu, then Root Checker states device is rooted and Titain Backup, Rom Mgr, etc.... all work again.
However, I don't like my root being wide open to any app. I'd prefer a su that sets permissions.
I see "su" in sustem/xbin, but no busybox.
Has anyone had this problem, or a suggestion?
-Thanks, Jim
I installed Philz touch recovery earlier, went to reboot and it told me I wasn't rooted. So i let it root me, and nothing happened (it rebooted but no superuser or anyhing, and no root apps worked). I used Dr Ketan's tool, and let it root, install busybox and remove knox.
I updated superSU (it force closed by default), and then titanium backup asked for root and I granted it. But it says root access - failed."The attempt was made using the "/system/xbin/su" command."
I tried to uninstall gmail through ES file explorer, but it says "unfortunately, ES file explorer has stopped" if you try and do it. Adfree android worked though, and so did rootchecker ("success"), as well as busybox updating and an app that reboots you straight to recovery.
I'm really confused and could do with this root working :S Thanks!
Try flashing this zip

Download ROM manager from Play Store and run Fix Permisison, After RM done reboot your phone and then try.

Problem with Xposed Installer.
Scenario:
Device Status before problem:
Prior to rooting with Towelroot, installed SuperSU first.
Rooted with Towelroot
Opened SuperSU APK and installed binary via the normal method.
Installed Titanium Backup
Backed up some apps and APKs.
Rebooted device several times and works great.
Android version: 4.3
Baseband: P605XXUBMJ4
Build number: JSS15J.P605XXUBMJ9
Steps to produce problem:
1) Download Xposed Installer from Xposed website, I assume it is the latest.
(de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v32_de4f0d.apk)
2) Installed the said Xposed Installer APK.
3) Tap on Install/Update, prompted that device will restart in a few seconds.
4) Device rebooted.
5) Reached lockscreen:
- Entered gesture 3 x 3 security swipe prompt.
- Touchwiz started to force close.
- Then everything else starts to force close as well.
Steps to recover from problem.
1) Hold capacitive menu button and went to S Finder screen.
2) Search for something random.
- Internet is not working even though I have 3G/Mobile internet enabled.
3) Continue search using Google, select a browser. (I used Firefox)
4) Navigate to Xposed installer APK using Firefox (file:///) which resides in my external SD card.
5) Click on the APK and install as usual, then open the installed APK.
6) Uninstall Xposed framework.
7) Reboot.
8) Everything works fine again.
Dared myself to try Xposed again. Got into the same problem. Trying to reinstall Xposed Installer but it is taking so much time. Still installing as
we speak.
Now I am trying to find out where does Xposed APK reside in, so I can launch the app manually.
UPDATE: Managed to uninstall Xposed framework after a LONNNNGGGGG wait. I am not daring enough to try it again. =_=!
Questions:
1) How to run Xposed without everything force closing?
2) What can I do to fix this?
3) Where does Xposed APK reside in the system folder?
Hi
Suggest you unroot your device and reinstall stock firmware via odin. Clear cache/dalvik and factory reset device. Then root again with towel root, install latest chainfire su to disable knox and install Xposed. This should clear your issues. I don't have similar problems on my p605 with Xposed.

Sure it is not the rooting method? No problems here with Xposed Installer...Rooted with chainfire's auto root (I don't give a sh**t about crappy Knox), 4.4.2, MagazineUX Rom

No, it's not the rooting method. I used towelroot for my P605 + Xposed. I have no problem.

Hi all. I did not manage to solve this problem but I took the plunge and flashed P605XXUCNE2 4.4.2 and rooted it with towel root, installed SuperSU and everything went well. No wipe as well.
I also flashed TWRP and did a nandroid backup. I don't really care about Knox anymore. ^_^
