Missing su binary on Nexus S

I've tried installed Superuser on my Nexus S in two ways: through the Market and by installing the zip from ClockworkMod Recovery. In both cases, after I shell into my phone, typing su prints "su: not found". When I installed from the Market, it asked to update the su binary, which failed, but placed a zip on my sdcard that it asked me to install manually. It was a zero byte file.

Ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] tmh:
Loooong post coming, please be patient :)

Alright, I better put the whole backstory in first:

I had rooted my DHD (1.32.405.6 stock) with VISIONary+ r14 and all was fine. Then I unrooted, because I wanted to re-root with /system set as r/w. But after unrooting (also with VISIONary+ r14), I could only temproot for some reason.

I then proceeded to root it using the first two steps of this guide.

This caused all kinds of havoc on my phone, errors about UID's being inconsistent etc., so ended up doing a factory reset.

After that, I was able to permroot, again using VISIONary+ r14. All was/is well.

But I noticed that I'm now stuck with the old "SuperUser Permissions" app, and I can't update it to the release by ChainsDD (I had the one from ChainsDD when I originally rooted).

A search on the phone, reveals that I have a superuser.apk in /data/app, in /system/app and one in /data/data/com.modaco.visionaryplus.

Am I simply stuck with the old version? Or is there a way to update it, without breaking everything (again!)? It's not crucial, just liked the version by ChainsDD a lot more than the old one :)

I don't have eng hboot or radio s-off or anything like that, yet. Just permroot, without /system r/w, I can however mount /system as r/w with "Mount /system (rw/ro) from Market.

Thanks in advance (and sorry for the long post).

Edit: I think I solved it, by removing SuperUser.apk from /system/app, after s-off'ing the phone, then pushing the new .apk afterwards. It's working after reboots etc. as well, so I'm guessing I'm good to go.

1. Buy the full version of Rom Manager from the app market.

2. When you open the app, click on the "menu" button of your phone to enable advanced mode.

3. Click on "Download Rom" and select "Extras"

4. Install superuser version 2.3.1.

5. Wait for phone to reboot

6. Search for Superuser in the market.

7. Click on "Update"

You should be able to install the newest version without any problems.

superuser hang - clear data to fix

Hey Folks,

I've been experiencing a problem with superuser 2.3.6.1 with the FLB-Froyo G2 (r10b) rom on the ZTE Blade (Orange San Francisco). The symptom is that the app hangs (black screen), as do other programs which request superuser permissions. Clearing the data for superuser (Settings - Applications - Manage Applications) solves the problem, but only temporarily: I usually have to repeat the process every day or two.

I've seen several references to the problem, e.g.

http://xanderx.com/2009/06/14/fix-superuser-permissions-hanging-on-android/

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=646062

Is there a permanent fix?
[Android Apps and Games] ngagephone:
Yep i have same problem same rom but i allso get this problem woth most froyo roms.
[Android Apps and Games] ogilviea:
Thanks ngagephone.

Interestingly, the hang doesn't appear to be connected to the addition of any new entries in superuser's app list. I had only 3 apps listed (Root Explorer, Titanium Backup & No-frills CPU Control), and everything was working fine for a few hours. Then suddenly... the hang is back, with no new apps having been granted superuser permissions. Well, I found it interesting anyway :)

Another oddity is superuser's reporting of the Su binary version, which (a while after having cleared superuser's data) shows up as "v%s", instead of "v2.3.1-ef". Also (and this has also been reported elsewhere), I seem to get a version of su downloaded to the SD card (su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip) which is zero bytes.

Not sure if these are connected to the hang, but you never know...

I seem to be having some issues with Superuser on my Desire HD.

Went back to stock ROM but still the same after rooting again.

When an app requests root, nice little pop up appears but i cant select "Allow".

I have the "Deny" the request and then go back to superuser and move the app up to allow!

This seems to be causing an issue with Rom Manager because when I run it for the first time on the phone, I cant select OK to continue and ROM Manager never gets the chance to request root.

Any help?

Superuser Does Not Appear to Respond to Requests from Apps

Recently I made MiniCM RC2, a Froyo Cyanogen 6.1.3 port work on my Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini. Everything was working fine and I was loving it till suddenly apps that need root privileges cannot get them any longer for some reason.

The phone is still rooted (I can get into the phone through "adb shell" and execute commands that require root privileges). The Superuser app itself says the su binary is up to date ("Settings tab" -> "Su binary v origional"). I have installed an update of the Superuser app from Market. So I am inclined to think the issue is not the "su" binary, but something else.

It appears to me that Superuser is not responding to requests from other apps. No popup toast is shown when other apps request root privileges, except when Superuser itself tried to update the "su" binary.

I have tried deleting the user data associated with Superuser and rebooting afterwards, but it did not fix anything.

I read some people suggesting re-rooting the phone to those with similar issues on Cyanogen Mod, but I am hesitant to do that. For one thing, MiniCM came rooted and it still is; I still can still log in and do stuff with root privileges. I do not want to mess that up.

Would someone please help me?

adb Shell

Certainly u see this message "No such file or directory" ok go to next step

# rm /system/app/com.noshufou.android.su.apk

You must see : rm/system/app/com.noshufou.android.su.apk )

# pm uninstall com.noshufou.android.su

i have an uninteresting yet frustrating issue with SU.

recently i rooted my wife's moto backflip. i used the adb method. seemed to work ok. no errors or anything.

superuser however crashes as soon as it opens and doesn't allow " root only" software to run. when a software tries to run it simply tells me that it doesn't have permission. i assume then that its automatically denying access. everything else seems to function ok. she would like the bloatware removed so i kinda have to have su working.

i tried clearing the cache like ive seen suggested. ive tried to run rom manager like was suggested to no avail. tried re-rooting with z4. no errors but no functioning su either. i cant uninstall su. tried that.

any insight to fixing this is extremely welcome.

If the one you have installed either doesn't work or is an older version than 2.3.6.1, then I would recommend removing it before installing this one.
