[SuperSU] minjiet:
if i already install super SU, can i delete superuser.apk?
[SuperSU] Pons:
Yes, and no. SUU does everything that Superuser does, but some incorrectly coded apps look for Superuser.apk as opposed to the binary. They never really had a reason to. It's safer to keep both till most/all apps are updated to look for the binary instead of the apk.
[SuperSU] segv11:
It would be nice to be able to turn that "safety feature" off temporarily, so as to be able to backup SSU, move it to system, etc...
[SuperSU] k2trill:
Good info! I wouldn't say incorrectly coded tho since until now, superuser was all we really knew/had to use until now.
[SuperSU] scottx .:
Lately I've noticed that even if I have it set to always allow without prompt it still prompts me. For years I've used the allow all. Anyone else noticed this? Chainfire?
[SuperSU] Pons:
For one, Allow All is a terrible practice, but it's your choice. And for two, have you tried with the v2.04-beta?
[SuperSU] sjsharksfan420:
or feel free to grad the latest build (beta) in apk format.. can never hurt to have redundancy .. keep multiple formats so for that "just in case moment" or just simply to have another way to implement superSU superSUv2.0.4Beta APK

That's like saying that you leave your house completely unlocked because you have a 3m/10ft high fence topped with razor wire and you screen every visitor. If something manages to get past that outer layer of security, you're still screwed.
[SuperSU] Mike B.:
It might be unfair to claim that automatically granting all root requests is a "terrible practice". It all depends on which apps you install from which sources and whether you're foolish enough not to have a current full (nandroid) backup available at all times.

For some of us there is absolutely no good reason to trigger a SuperSU prompt each time. What is terrible is the way some users carelessly download/install any app they see without bothering to check what it is/does, often even without any way to recover. Selecting "Allow All" is merely a choice and as long as you understand what it means, there's nothing inherently evil about it!

The big warnings should come before rooting (and before any superuser app) as that is the one crucial step that takes away the basic safeties. Rooting without a thorough grasp of the implications IS the "terrible practice"! ;)

OnePlus One loses root after OTA update

The last OTA update for stock CyanogenMod on the OnePlus One killed root, even though I had SuperSU Pro installed and Survival mode enabled.

I recognize that Survival mode only "attempts" to keep root. In your experience, how often does it succeed?

Is there any way to keep all the SuperSU settings? Helium Backup cannot back up SuperSU, supposedly because SuperSU does not allow backup, probably for security reasons. I guess SuperSU does not want to write its settings anywhere, because then some malware could pick that up, modify, and restore it. SuperSU could, of course, encrypt such a settings file with a user-provided key, but apparently it does not go that way, perhaps again to prevent mistakes by careless users. But is there perhaps any other way to keep those settings?
[SuperSU] cschmitt:
SuperSU settings are in /data/data/eu.chainfire.supersu/shared_prefs/eu.chainfire.supersu_preferences.xml and /data/data/eu.chainfire.supersu/files/supersu.cfg

Backing up/restoring those two files should keep all the SuperSU settings.
[SuperSU] Frank Westlake:
Sometimes it's more convenient to backup the entire data directory, so I make the directory '/data/data/backups' and copy the entire application directory into it, i.e. ' /data/data/eu.chainfire.supersu'. All the file modes and ownership are preserved that way.

This backup directory can also be used to have applications with multiple profiles. You could have '/data/data/backups/eu.chainfire.supersu/profile1', etc. Then write a script or an Android application to change profiles.

Hello there,

I installed supersu from the play store and can't get it to work.

Each time, it say it need update but can't do it.

Same thing with the 2.02 apk extract from the zip used for installation with the recovery.

Can't install it from recovery since i don't think there's one working for the Huawei Honor 6 ... and don't want to take the risk to install one (i'm new to this kind of thing)

Someone have an idea why supersu can't update or want to update ?

Thank you.
[SuperSU] bearusa:
You need to be rooted before you can install supersu. If your already rooted it will install from custom recovery or through play.. It will not install until you have root.
[SuperSU] swapgut:
I'm unlocked, rooted, firewater s-offed. Using twrp or flashify through twrp I can't get 2.02 or the .04 beta to install at all. It states that it installed ok, but when I'm rebooted and go to it, it's still 2.01.

2.01 works fine for me and I know that Chainfire does good work. Maybe those problems already discussed contribute to this quirk I'm having.

[SuperSU] r25txe:
Hi [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]

I just tried the 2.04BETA to see if my issue was resolved, to no avail.

I was wondering have you had any reports of certain settings not being configurable and the "apps" and "logs" tabs endlessly refreshing, i.e., you cannot see what apps you have approved or denied.

My root does work, I can approve or deny requests normally, it's just I cannot go back if I want to reconfigure an app's root access or review logs. Unchecking the refresh app and logs automatically has no effect.

In the settings, uninstall SuperSU will not work, causes an eventual crash of SuperSU (after quite some time) unless you do a reboot. SuperSU will still be there, too.

I'm a Pro user and unable to set a PIN either as SuperSU will just circle endlessly after trying to set one.

I've been reading about other users' issues mostly related to root access itself, but my issues seem to be interface only.

[SuperSU] hgmichna:
Somehow I get the feeling as if some here try to install SuperSU into CyanogenMod 11, which already contains a function equivalent to SuperSU. That would be bound to fail.

In CyanogenMod 11 SuperSU is not a separate app. Instead its function is nicely built into the settings menu.

The only exception is CyanogenMod 11S, currently available for the OnePlus One, which does not contain superuser mode and requires SuperSU or a similar tool to gain root rights.

[SuperSU] DAC324:
Hello all,

seems that I've encountered a bug in SuperSU 2.0.2, at least on some Chinese phones ("MTK") like the Doogee Valencia DG800.

If you start su in order to execute some operation with root permissions, you will not be able to see the phone's SD card any more.

As soon as you issue the su command in a shell, the contents of the SD card disappears. Consequently, programs like Root explorer are not able to copy files from or to the SD card when operating in root mode.

See screenshots:

[IMG="Output of the mount command, depending on root or not root"]http://picsaver.org/files/ji2dmnw0zvwiazwyoedm.png[/IMG]

[IMG="Contents of the SD card, depending on root or not root"]http://picsaver.org/files/rwnzegoghkdzmnzzoz1d.png[/IMG]

As this behavior does not occur with Superuser, it appears to be a problem with SuperSU.

Kind regards,

DAC324

It sounds selfish but after flashing that beta, the bug where pro is deleted is annoying. I hope when Chainfire gets back he uploads a fresh build to test. He's entitled to a break, and I'm not blaming him for anything since he's not a robot, but I should mark my calendar. I love SuperSu and can't wait to see more improvements. So I'm waiting eagerly with joy, not waiting like a jerk and complaining. Hope the vacation was fun. He never told us where he went… I hope it wasn't wrecked by bad weather or something.

Same here, used on many AOSP/AOKP variants with no issues. Flashing SuperSU in recovery on rom with superuser will replace existing. It does not upgrade/change the settings menu, so the SuperUser menu item will remain. If you want to change the settings menu item, you will have to petition your Rom dev to do it, or code it yourself before flashing...

I have seen this happen exactly once. I'm not sure what causes it or what fixes it. You are however not the only one reporting this. If you can find any pattern to this and/or something that fixes it, that information would be most welcome.
[SuperSU] Chainfire:
A security feature in SuperSU causes this. Superuser doesn't exhibit this behavior because it doesn't have this security feature at all. Your device is one of the rare ones with a deviant external storage setup - it doesn't follow Android's standard storage setup - for which this feature fails. The next version of SuperSU may actually have a switch to turn this feature off, for the rare device like your own.

I understand it may seems like a related issue to you, but they are actually completely different issues, if it solves itself.

Hiyas everyone!

So I just rooted my Samsung Droid Charge SCH-I510 on i510.06 V.FP8 with stock rom.

Everything seemed to go just fine, but using apps like Titanium I randomly get a message that I'm NOT rooted. A reboot usually brings it back to understanding that it IS rooted and allows me to use Titanium

That and every time I boot, I get a notification stating the Binary needs to be updated for SU. I've done both the "NORMAL" and the CWM it says it was successful, but goes back to telling me the binary needs to be updated as soon as I reopen the app. -EDIT- Now it's random when it gives me notice to update Binary again after reopening the app. Still get notice upon every boot though

I tired installing the 2.04 but still same issue

Thanks!

I am having pretty much the same problem with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 running stock 4.4.2. I am running SuperSu 2.01. I did the uninstall/reinstall from play store. After the reinstall, the first time I ran SuperSu it needed to update the binary, I chose Normal update and it said it was successful. I have not lost root so far but every time I power off the tab I get the message to update binary. So far I have been able get the UI to stop asking to update by doing the update a couple of times and it will survive a restart but not a power off.

How to update from old version to latest?

i've been using supersu v1.25 on my xperia sola with ported Android JB rom. i decided to update supersu to v2.00 using recovery tool such as cwm.

1- do i just flash the v2.00 zip file without having to do anything first beforehand, like pressing the "reinstall" in the app itself first or wipe cache and dalvik after flashing the update?

2- is it better for my sola if i update to latest version which is v2.02 or v2.03?

thanks :D
