Getting FC in DeFrost 2.5a :(
[Android Apps and Games] ChainsDD:
Is that on a Desire? I've seen that once already today, we're looking into it. Can you use SendLog to get me a log? chainsdd at gmail.
[Android Apps and Games] ilos:
getting FC on Legend

EDIT : tried to go back to 2.2.2 and get FC too
[Android Apps and Games] ChainsDD:
Can you get me a log?
[Android Apps and Games] ilos:
i will try... i'm flashing back my rom and try again.

But if the application FC , are you sure i will can get log ?
[Android Apps and Games] ChainsDD:
Yup, just after the FC, use SendLog, or an app like it to send me the log, I'll be able to pick out where the problem was.

New icon is excellent, and dig the log right there.

I'm having a problem with su request prompts in landscape mode however, the icons are cut off and I can't hit allow or deny. Not a problem for portrait or apps with both but a big deal with landscape only apps which may just consist of ConnectBot.

On the moto DROID running sapphire 1.0.0
[Android Apps and Games] ChainsDD:
I'll create a landscape layout to fix that. Will put out a .1 later today or tomorrow.

Got it. Thanks! Looking into it.

SU 2.3 not in app list

Just installed 2.3ef for my Nexus One running CM5.0.8 and its allowing root access for my apps that need it but it force closes when I try and open it from the app drawer. Ive flashed it 3 times now and made sure the hashes matched. It doesnt show up on any uninstall apps or in Menu>Settings>Applications. I wanted to try clearing the cache from there but its MIA. Any thoughts? Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] j_r0dd:
i even built it from source and included it my full rom. i did a full wipe and re-flash and it still FC's on my Cliq running 2.1 when I try to open the Superuser app. But when I try this on my N1 running froyo the app opens just fine. The one common thing I am picking up here is everybody with the FC's has a HVGA device.

here is what catches my eye

[Android Apps and Games] tcsheen:
FC

CDMA Hero running Fresh 2.1.2

FC on opening, and of course FC on anything requiring super user.

Can't remember if my ROM had SuperUser...

Also, don't know how to get log, but thought id post on it

**EDIT** - I let it sit for a few minutes, literally, did nothing to the device for about 5 minutes. Then when I tried accessing su via Terminal Emulator (first few times it FCd) and it worked! Voila!

Tried a few other programs that were FC-ing and the popup for access came up every time. Not sure what I did, or didn't do, but it is working -

Although accessing SuperUser via LauncherPro drawer is still causing FC on SU, not sure I care anymore now that it is working...whew, forgot the nandroid this one time, oi.

ok im a complete idiot when it comes to this stuff. and i havnt learned how it all works yet but how do i flash stuff to my phone?
[Android Apps and Games] |Black_BoX|:
Well, this appears to have broken root on my phone.

I had a previous version of Superuser that was included in the ROM I put on (FroyoRedux 1.6). I flashed this Superuser 2.3, and of course I didn't bother to do a nandroid backup or uninstall the old version first.:(

I can start the app from the drawer, but clicking on the Log tab will cause FC. And titanium backup, setcpu, and even just 'su' in terminal are all not being granted root. Any help restoring root would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] miasma:
Ah, I got back to where I started now...

To revert back to the original root/superuser.apk, I used adb shell and ran:

su -

rm -r /data/data/com.noshufou.android.su (this was the part that I forgot the first time and caused the old superuser.apk to fc)

rm /system/app/Superuser.apk

rm /system/xbin/su

Then I rebooted into recovery and re-rooted the phone. Now I am back to the old but working superuser app.

How do I install this on Motorola Milestone?

I already have Superuser Permissions 2.1 via openrecovery but want to update to the 2.3 version. I tried switching the superuser.apk and su files in the recovery mode and installed. But when I try to start superuser after it just force closes?!?! Any ideas? :)
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
So.. the past 7 pages have been full of everyone reporting 2.3 force closing. Why are you guys still trying it??? Lol

Thx for help!
[Android Apps and Games] guidogoni:
Hi! I'm using this on Motorola Milestone 2.2 Dexter edition, works but have an annoying problem, the Superuser.apk saves all apps with permission, but each time an app needs permission the window to allow comes to front, very annoying that it doesn't remember all this. Any ideas? Thanks! Great work!

su gave symlink loop error after flashing the .zip on latest cyanogen 6 nightly

(/system/xbin/su was symlink to /system/bin/su and /system/bin/su was symlink to /system/xbin/su)

xbin was readonly /dev/block/loop0 on /system/xbin type squashfs (ro,relatime) so couldn''t be set to rw to remove the xbin symlink

So, I had to rm /system/bin/su then push su to /system/bin

Clear?

Seemed to work but am I just saving up issues for later?

Additional info: I restored system back to previous Superuser.apk and su, but had fc.

So I restored everything with nandroid, but when I restored data partition back it fc again, is there any file or folder I have to delete or wipe? Maybe that's causing all the issue

Hello all, I am a bit of a noob so bear with me. I already rooted my droid using a previous SU version. Does anyone have a step by step walkthrough on how to install this new version? I have a htc hero with sprint.
[Android Apps and Games] insomniac_217:
Running Artifex_Froyo ROM for mytouch 3g. Having trouble with the most recent setcpu (2.01). It is determined that my phone is not rooted. The original su, that came with the rom worked just fine. I did also notice that the icon in my app drawer has changed too. Android head with cross bones. Did I flash the wrong version?
[Android Apps and Games] sticktodrum:
FC when opening app on Droid Eris, running xtrSENSE3.1. Sent SendLog to your email (from sticktodrum at gmail).

Permission requests seem to work.

I'm curious as to why this version is so troublesome for everyone. I had been running 2.2.2 for a while, and it seemed to work very well. It hadn't given me any trouble. This one seems like a whole bunch of hell.
[Android Apps and Games] XBrav:
Well, it was rebuilt from the ground up.

On CM 5.0.8 on an HTC Dream, it only FC's when launching the app.

As well, you cannot select permissions when the phone is in landscape mode. The buttons are cut off.

The permissions themselves have run fine for me.
[Android Apps and Games] ChainsDD:
Sorry I haven't answered any questions in here, been too busy fixing the bugs. Things should be better now, I've fixed everything I've been given a log for.

Landscape mode is fixed and so is the FC on launch. There was also a infrequent FC closing the app, that's been fixed too.

As usual, if you find more bugs, use sendlog or a similar app to send a report to me. chainsdd at gmail. It's the only way I can debug things I can't duplicate on my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] XBrav:
Thanks for that! Will dump on phone as soon as I figure out why USB is being lame on my phone :)

Aaaaaand.... it was my USB cable. Lovely.

Works great! Love the UI!

Symbolic Link Loop

I tried installing on a MT3G running Super E rom but I get a FC each time I try running SU and an "su: symbolic link loop" error in Terminal.

I have tried uninstalling /data/data/com.nofushou.android.su using DroidExplorer and adb manually but every time I boot the package is still there.

Any ideas? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ChainsDD:
The symbolic link loop is caused by /system/bin/su pointing to /system/xbin/su which points to /system/bin/su. Extract su from the update.zip, and use these adb commands to install it

adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb reboot

FC I can't help with without a log.
[Android Apps and Games] N00dle:
sweet worked this time.
[Android Apps and Games] splttingatms:
Hi ChainsDD, thanks for the quick response!

When I try pushing the new su I get an error saying "Too many symbolic links encountered". What does this mean?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] sticktodrum:
Flashed it, and it's fantastic. Thank you for the work, it's really slick. The app works well, no FCs anywhere that I can find.

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] ChainsDD:
Try this

adb shell rm /system/bin/su
adb shell rm /system/xbin/su
adb push su /system/xbin
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
[Android Apps and Games] MotoCache1:
Hi ChainsDD. I noticed that you removed the fixsuperm script from 2.3.1. Is that because you decided it isn't needed or because it was causing more problems than it solved? I repackaged 2.3 so it would install happily under SPRecovery and am rebuilding my package with your 2.3.1. My inclination is to leave the fixsuperm script in there since it is working fine on the platform I'm using it on (Motorola Droid running FRG22) and it looks like it does important, useful stuff.

Thanks for all your effort on this!
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
Does SetCPU load settings properly upon reboot?
[Android Apps and Games] ChainsDD:
It's not necessary. It makes sure that packages.xml is rebuilt on boot if necessary, but was only needed when going from 2.1 to 2.2 and now that I've changed the certificate I use to sign it, even the 2.1 -> 2.3 upgrade should go smoothly as the system will rebuild packages.xml if the signature doesn't match. That and it seemed to have a problem on Galaxy S phones.
[Android Apps and Games] MotoCache1:
I know you asked someone other than me, but the answer for me is yes. I was having the exact, identical same problem as you were. Now, after the phone boots up, within maybe 15 seconds the widget shows the right min/max, the profiles are running, and the Main tab in the app reads correctly too.
[Android Apps and Games] MotoCache1:
OK, cool. I noticed that fixsuperm was also deleting:

/data/data/com.noshufou.android.su

It seemed like I saw at least one person say they needed to delete that to make it happy (maybe fixsuperm didn't run on theirs). Is this also a non-issue?

I'm using the same signing certificate as you are right now, so leaving fixsuperm in or taking it out isn't a problem either way. If there is any reason at all to leave it in I will. If you say there's absolutely no benefit then I'll take it out just to keep in sync with you.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ChainsDD:
It can be removed, the people having to delete the directory had other problems that fixsuperm wouldn't have detected anyways.
[Android Apps and Games] splttingatms:
After I remount, I removed /bin/su successfully. Trying to remove /xbin/su , I got an error saying "Read-only file system".

Is there another way to remove these files?

Thanks for all your help
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
Can we just flash the zip in the OP? Why do I see a lot of posts about people removing /system/bin files and what not just to get it working?
[Android Apps and Games] ilostchild:
you can go into adb shell and remount the system

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

also i was on lock bootloader, so couldnt do adb remount

what i did was take out the su, and Superuser.apk

and reran the freenexus.bat from the alternate root

and it simply put the nes nexus in with ease!
[Android Apps and Games] sticktodrum:
Yes, it seems that way.
[Android Apps and Games] splttingatms:
I tried remounting the system like you said but adb still showed a "Read file only" error when trying to remove /xbin/su
[Android Apps and Games] TeeJay3800:

[Android Apps and Games] MotoCache1:
The message your phone showed you actually tells you what's wrong and how to fix it. You need to rename the file to be update.zip on your phone before booting into recovery.

Edited to add: I will also guess that even after you do that it is going to fail and say "Installation aborted" at the end with no explanation of why. If it does, let me know - I have a package specifically for SPRecovery that will work.

For those having a problem with the symlink loop, try this:

adb shell rm /system/xbin/su
adb push su /system/xbin
adb shell chmod 04755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
adb reboot

Also I've added a new line to the update.zips that may fix this, if you want to help me out and test it, download and try to flash it again.
