Not sure if this appropriate, if not ignore. But could you post a link for that download?
[Android Apps and Games] MotoCache1:
I don't think there's an issue with posting links to discussions on other technical sites. The link to the topic with the files in it is here. I'd rather folks not link to the file directly, but instead to the topic. That way the topic is updated with new information or attachments people won't be blindly using the old file download link. I think that's a good practice in general.
[Android Apps and Games] MotoCache1:
Well, it shouldn't be a directory. I could give you a command to just blow it away regardless, but that seems like a bad plan.

If it were me, I'd:

adb shell

cd /system/app

ls -l Superuser.apk

The permissions string should look something like this:

-rw-r--r--

The exact permissions aren't particularly critical, but if it looks like this:

[B]d[/B]rw-r--r--

then it really is a directory.

If it really is a directory, then (from where you're at already) do "cd Superuser.apk" and then do "ls -l" to see what's in there.
[Android Apps and Games] Skimi:
SOLVED!! i did it in Recovery mode and it worked...

Many thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ATomCZ:
Great. Version from market works now for me on HTC HD2. It only show that I have old version. I download latest version also from first message of this thread and update it via adb.

If someone doesn't know about this thread where he take su?

Using your file worked. Thanks! My phone is a Captivate btw.
[Android Apps and Games] DehDehDeh:
Something went wrong :/ Help needed.

Argh.. I tried to do this, but must've screwed up afterwards.

I installed Superuser (via Market) and then got the message that I should reboot into recovery mode to update. However, not knowing how to do this on my X10mini I instead copied the .zip-file (from /sdcard/) to my harddrive, extracted su and tried to copy it back manually..

What I did:

- I put su on /sdcard/download/ (by mounting it in windows and just copied it)

..and then (after usb dismount)

adb shell [ok]

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system [ok]

cat /system/bin/su > /sdcard/su.old [ok]

cat /download/su > /system/bin/su.new [ok]

..and around here it went wrong. I got a message in the cmd prompt (ie from adb) that "[1] killed su" .. and after this, su won't work anymore (Superuser says su vnull).. Obviously I don't have root access anymore, and am at loss which way to go - should I reroot my device, or is there a quicker way? And the second question, where did I go wrong? (my next move would've been to rm su, and cat su.new > su ..)

Thanks in advance, and apologies for mucking around in areas I obviously don't know about :D

UPDATE: This has been resolved, big thanks to ChainsDD for the help.

What was done: 1. Re-rooted :P

adb remount

adb pull /system/bin/su .

adb shell cp /data/data/com.noshufou.android.su/files/su /system/bin

adb shell chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
[Android Apps and Games] SigmunDroid:
Hey boss thank you for the effort and hard work to make

this app what a gem it really is!

I was curious to know (because I haven't found an answer yet)

if you knew why SetCPU 2.0.2 and this release of SU

combined with my Chevy No.1 ULV 125mhz-1200mhz kernel

doesn't allow my SetCPU to:

-see 125mhz as an option for the lowest setting

-change the samply rate figure from 300000 to 250000 (which I heard is ideal)?

-Allow me to change to the new scaling governor: interactive?
[Android Apps and Games] _neo_trinity_:
works fine on my spica .... thx
[Android Apps and Games] MotoCache1:
Are you sure that kernel has 125 as its bottom slot? I ran it for awhile and the lowest of the 7 slots is 250. I'm running the LV 1.1GHz now (runs a lot cooler for me and battery life is awesome) and the bottom slot of that one is 250 as well. The slots aren't really governed by SetCPU -- they are governed by the kernel. Check this file to see what your kernel supports:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies

The scaling_available_governors file (in the same directory) tells which governors your kernel supports. Mine lists: conservative, ondemand, powersave, userspace, and performance (no "interactive").

Hope that helps.
[Android Apps and Games] SigmunDroid:
Yup, you are correct!

The lowest number I have listed is 250000! lol

What is weird is that the file name (when I downloaded)

says ulv 1.2ghz so I made the mistake I think!

Also, there isn't an interactive in the other file mentioned.

And it did help, thank you very much.;)

[Android Apps and Games] ponusella:
hi guys, wouldn't it be possible to have Superuser.apk built for armv4t? i'd like to try it on Android-on-Freerunner Cupcake, but i don't have the modified su binary for that arch. I've already tried to get it working with setuid+native su or setuid+busybox su but nothing...i think ChainsDD's modded su is the only way to go, but setting up the buildchain scares the crap out of me. Anyway thanks for this great app, it saved my life on HTC Hero!
[Android Apps and Games] SigmunDroid:
DO you have sprecovery or clockwork recovery installed?

If you can run ROM manager...

All you have to do is drop the SU .zip file onto the root of the SD card

-Choose boot from SD card in one of the options

-then choose that SU .zip

-select OK when it asks you...

...and it will install:)

You should have a backup already to go for the "just in case" scenario.

i love your latest build - thanks a lot for it

How to apply su-2.3-bin.zip

Hello,

I installed Superuser 2.3.2.3 from Market and everything works fine. But I was asked to apply su-2.3-bin.zip. How can I do that? Is it enough just copy su file from the zip to /system/bin or should I do something more?

Now I have su2.2-cd on my phone.

Thanks for answer.
[Android Apps and Games] ponusella:
Yes SigmunDroid i could do that, but it wouldn't work. My problem is that the SU in the zip is in binary form for armv5 cpus, while i'd need a binary compiled for armv4t. Anyone built it?
[Android Apps and Games] ChainsDD:
Just uploaded 2.3.3. just bugfixes and the ability for the app to update it's own binary. See OP or Market for latest.

Regarding all the questions, sorry I haven't been around here, been trying to sort all this out, but MotoCache1 is a godsend! He's been great around here. With his help I may be able to actually keep deving this.
[Android Apps and Games] MotoCache1:
This procedure would work with the majority of phones:

Put su-2.3-bin.zip in the root of your SD card

Rename su-2.3-bin.zip to update.zip

Boot your phone into recovery

Apply update.zip

Now that ChainsDD has worked out the trick of Superuser.apk being able to update the su binary directly you'd probably be better served by just grabbing it from the Market again and letting it handle it for you.
[Android Apps and Games] TeeJay3800:
I just did that and it indeed worked perfectly. :) One question though: what exactly is the "su binary"? It seems separate from the app itself.
[Android Apps and Games] ChainsDD:
the su binary is what other apps actually call to get root permissions. It's in /system/bin and it checks the database created by Superuser.apk to see if the requesting app is allowed, denied, or unknown and takes the appropriate action.
[Android Apps and Games] Norpa76:
Excellent work, the new v2.3.3 installed directly from market to Samsung Galaxy S.
[Android Apps and Games] Had01:
New version of Superuser.apk (2.3.3) solved this for me. It automaticaly updated su for me.

Good job, ChainsDD, thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] apollostees:
Whats up ChainsDD.

Just wanna say this is a great app. Lately though on my MTY3GS (running cm6 rc1) I've been having a weird issue:

I start out with SU ver 2.3.3 and everything is fine. But for some reason after a couple of days it starts FC like crazy.

To the unusable point where I can't even open the app. And the weirdest thing is when I look in the app drawer the icon has changed back to the ninja,

instead of the skull and cross bones???

As a temp fix I just reflash and I'm back up and running. But it happens again eventually.

has anyone else had a simular issue?
[Android Apps and Games] thor2002ro:

Hi,

I have updated to JM5 and installed samset 1.9e with mimocan fix for lag (external sd card fat32 + ext4).

I've tried installing 2.1 or 2.3 super user, either from ChainsDD or stericsson but none works, both crash when setting permison (the app start, displays a prompt but crashes when selecting ok)

any ideas besides complete reflash?

10x.

[Android Apps and Games] jakechance:
Has anyone tried this flashing method on a Droid running Bugless Beast v1.1? Does it work?
[Android Apps and Games] snovvman:
ChainsDD, thanks for your work.

My phone, N1, FRF91 (stock), rooted per dolomiti7's Root Without Unlocking instructions. Superuser v2.3.3 -ef, DB v5.

I updated Superuser as directed in the OP. It installed fine from the Market after I removed the old version, and worked fine.

I then discovered that Superuser would automatically self-uninstall after a reboot. Since I had apps automatically installing to SD, I moved Superuser back to the phone after it was reinstalled. After that, Superuser would survive a reboot.

Now that it survives a reboot, however, it does not "rememeber" all the granted premissions. I have to re-grant after each reboot. The log is gone too, after the reboot.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] randomelements:
I've rooted my Desire with unrEVOked and installed su 2.3.3

Maybe I've missed it but is su supposed to remember the setting for each app once chosen? Every time I run a root app I am always prompted. Is that correct?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] MotoCache1:
Sounds like you've got the new Superuser.apk in /data/app and the old Superuser.apk in /system/app. If you're running the Market 2.2.3 you'd want to nuke /system/app/Superuser.apk and leave /data/app/Superuser.apk.
[Android Apps and Games] MotoCache1:
If you check the "Remember" box it should not ask again. If it does, something is wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] rui.mamede:
I'm suffering from a really annoying problem with the latest version.

Most applications who require root permissions, keep requesting them over and over again everytime i start one of them, even tho i have "remember" checked and are added to the "allow list". For example every time i run adb shell su it asks for permission in the terminal, with titanium backup it asks for permission like a zillion times... It works, but it is really annoying :S

Anyone is suffering from the same problem?

Another thing i notice is that in superuser app settings, in the last field "superuser information", it shows

Superuser v2.3.3

su vnull, Database version 5

What's that "vnull"?

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] randomelements:
That's what I thought, remember is ticked but no dice - prompts every time.
[Android Apps and Games] rui.mamede:
Same problem here :S
[Android Apps and Games] ghidda:
i have this problem! :(

the apps works 100% have only this multi and always "remeber"

[Android Apps and Games] haozheng91:
flashed the su-2.3.3-ef-signed.zip to a Nexus One running CM6 RC3 and in the app settings I get

does this mean I am still on 2.3.1?
[Android Apps and Games] randomelements:
Sorted my issue. I had manually installed 2.3.3 when using soft root. UnrEVOked installed 2.1 so the two were conflicting.

Working now.
[Android Apps and Games] septlc:
sorry, i might ask you to repeat a few things, just 2 week with this phone and still discovering things.

I got the file from first post for 2.1 eclair, and then I copy it to the /sdcard via the kies mode. is this ok ?

do we need to rename the file to update.zip ?

then i press the keys to go to recovery mode and select the /sdcard/update.zip and i get the error installation failed or aborted.

is there something that i miss? just installed the g5 for galaxy s from samsung firmwares, so no tools on my phone yet regarding the rooting issues, just some default tools from the rom.

any hints would be appreciated.

regards.
[Android Apps and Games] rui.mamede:
Can you pls explain better what you did? I have the same problem you had i think
[Android Apps and Games] ravi84m:
I had the same issue with nagging confirmations. I just removed it and reinstalled and that solved it for me.
[Android Apps and Games] rui.mamede:
Ok finally solved my issue "vnull version and requesting permissions over and over again"...

just echo $PATH and look for su in these directories, delete all of them

then copy the one from /data/data/com.noshufou.android.su/files to /system/bin and chmod 06755 /system/bin/su

in my case i had to delete su from /sbin

Thanks a lot chainsdd for helping me with this!

New version 2.3.4 in the market.. what's new?
[Android Apps and Games] ChainsDD:
The app now downloads binary updates instead of packaging them in the apk. It only does it if necessary, and there's an entry in the Settings tab for checking for an update to the binary.

Will get the update.zips up here soon.
[Android Apps and Games] Logic_:
Thanks, market and binary update went fine. Had to install binary manually.

[Android Apps and Games] DroidGnome:
Flash version vs APK?

Ok this might sound like a silly question, and perhaps it's already been answered somewhere in these last 50 pages.... but if so could someone update the OP with the answer to the following:

What are the benefits of the Flash version vs the Market? Besides the method to install, is there a reason to use one over the other?

I've been using the Flash version and wondering if I should switch so as to better get updates?
[Android Apps and Games] jodue:
thank you very much for the new app! it's working like a charm...

all perfect installation after removed the old (standard) superuser app

i have a problem whit SU ...i can't upgrade it... in /sdcard i have the SU-2.3.1-bin-signed-zip this file was downloaded from Superuser during installation but:

if a rename it in upgrade.zip and start in recovery mode it's no a godd upgrade.zip

help! ...using ROOT EXPLORER if i unzip the new SU and i replaced whit /system/bin it's the same thing?

superuser is functionally, and i don't know if using the old SU is a problem... i know only that it don't remeber the superuser grant, so anytime i must reconferm it, but i still working

Ps: UNROOT is NOT the same of UNINSTALL

(sorry for my english)
[Android Apps and Games] Bo$s:
For me it downloads empty zip file (0 bytes) after installing from market :(
[Android Apps and Games] exkalibur68:
DO IT!!!! :)

for everybody that can't upgrage su or superuser ask many times to remeber the su permission, the solution is:

UNROOT (NOT ONLY UNINSTALL!) and after ROOT AGAIN whit the new app in the first post of this tread... because the upgrade have a problem before 2.3.4

:)

to apply UNROOT use this attachment whit upgrade.zip method :)

SetCPU 2.0.1 seems to startup properly on boot with Superuser 2.3.4.

Hi everyody,

I'm new on this forum, I got this incredible android one week ago and I've been trying to root my phone since then. I installed superuser 2.3.4 using the "2.1 update.zip" provided by BackfireNL in his guide of how to root, and when I try to update superuser I got an error message saying that su was not updated, and that a zip file (su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip) was placed on my sdcard, and ask me to reboot and flas it to update. I rebooted in recovery mode after changing the name of the file to update.zip but it's not working. Anyone can help?
