SU tells me it's outdated: Superuser v3.0.7 (41) and Su-binaryfile v2.3.1-ef. If i check for updates, i get "New version of the binaryfile su is found. Update now?" And this comes up in the log:

Downloading manifest... OK!

Analyzing manifest... OK!

Last version = 3.0.3

Controlling installed version = 2.3.1-ef

At this point, i click update, and the list goes on:

Repairs database... OK!

Checking for busybox... OK!

Controlling current installationlocation... /system/bin/su

Downloading new binaryfile... OK!

Checking md5sum... failed!

Now i've tried several times, and i don't know why this happens. Neither do i know the purpose of this update, but i have a rule; Newer is always better :) so, what to do?
[Android Apps and Games] FauxAffliction:
Try re-installing busybox. At the Xbin location. Just fixed my problem. Good luck :)

hehe, feels like 10 years ago, learned so much since then, lol. Yes, i just had to install BusyBox, and it was ok. Thanks anyway :)

re flash?

Soooooo I've been reading everyone's post trying to make sense of it and I am coming up with nothing.. apparently I suck at life. :confused: The issue I am having is my phone somehow lost root. (I checked with a terminal and entering "su" and got permission denied) I realized the problem when trying to get into Titanium Backup and got the no root access message. I do not understand what everyone means about flashing and re flashing. I have downloaded SU and SU Elite and tried uninstalling them but the SU wouldn't fully uninstall. So my question is, can someone please dumb the terminology down and help me with step by step instructsions in getting my EVO 4G rooted again? Sorry, complete NOOB here. No way in hiding it.. lol Thank you much!!
[Android Apps and Games] lowspeed:
I lost root too..... I think it's superSU bug.

Luckily i had nandroid backup
[Android Apps and Games] DSC05:
I had the same problem, but I solved it by doing this:

I installed superSU again, so that it worked as new su. Then I updatet the su binary in the settings of the old superuser app. After that you can delete superSU again and the old superuser app should work properly again.

SuperUser / Root access for Titanium Backup

Hello,

I have an Samsung Galaxy Spica with Android 2.2.2

Went I wanted to do a recent backup of my app with Titanium Backup recently, I notices that Titanium Backup did not work (despite the fact it had always worked perfectly until then). Failing command is "/system/xbin/su"

I verified as described on Titanium Back wiki ("how-to-check-proper-root" section) that everything was OK for Titanium Backup ==> No problem detected

I then updated SuperUser app to version 3.0.7 via Market

Following Titanium Backup support people, I tried to remove su binaries but despite the fact I am rooted I was unable to remove su binaries below:

./system/xbin/su (access rights: -rwxrwsr-x root root)

./sbin/su (access rights: -rwsr-sr-x root root)

I then updated the su binary via recovery (downloaded su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip on androidsu.com)

I now have 3 versions of su

./system/xbin/su ( -rwxrwsr-x root root)

./sbin/su ( -rwsr-sr-x root root)

./system/bin/su ( -rwxr-xr-x root shell)

Consequence: Titanium Backup now has a different error: the root access is now refused by "/system/bin/su" (this is confirmed in the log of SuperUser)

I fear there is a conflicts between all su binaries versions but

-is it safe to remove some/all of them so that they are recreated in a clean way?

-which one(s) removing?

-how? When I try in Terminal Emulator, as root user, I get

rm: can't remove "su": Read-only file system pour /system/xbin and /system/bin/

The only one I can now remove is /sbin/su but for the other 2 I cannot remove them.

Any ideas/solutions to solve my issue, which is to get Titanium Backup work again without losing my current ROM and data?

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] ARNOB:
This is the same app in the market, right?
[Android Apps and Games] PHDB:
Same app? Not sure I got your question. You mean SuperUser app? Yes I got the 3.0.7 from the market.

New versions of 3.1 binary and 3.1.3 app are pretty messed up IMO. 3.1.3 just has the loading spinner go forever, and with it installed BusyBox Installer can't figure out the install location anymore... 3.1 binary broke franco.Kernel autosettings.

Any help on removing SuperSU that is being packaged in the new JB ROMs? I've trying following the instructions on the play store to switch back from SuperSU to SuperUser but then SuperUser always fails to get root.
[Android Apps and Games] pdario:
I'm not sure...

I recently updated superuser from the market and then updated su binary, all went well.

Yesterday night I updated Google Reader from the market, Link2SD moved it on the ext partition and then I turned the phone off.

This morning, after turning the phone on, it said it was low on internal memory, 14MB. I thought it was the Reader update that hasn't move correctly to SD, so I started Link2SD to have a look... but it said it cannot get root permissions! As all other app, eg Titanium!

I tried removing a couple of app to free some internal space, I got up to 28MB, but the Super User still does not work! It seems it does not grant permissions to apps, even if the logs reports so.

Please advice!

[Android Apps and Games] whiperhack:
Everyone, I found a bug in the newest superuser.apk. If you set the automatic response to allow, is like setting to deny. So until the new version will be launched to repair this bug, set it to Prompt and superuser.apk will give access to the apps to access su binary.

Requirements...

Hi guys!!

just one very noob question... is it possible to use Superuser app on a stock ROM or is it only possible to use on a custom ROM?

Thanks in advance!!
[Android Apps and Games] Rusty!:
You can root a stock ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] joaopalmeira09:
by that, do you mean that in deed I can install Superuser App on a stock rom to have root permissions?

I think it's better I explain...

I have a brand new tablet and i need to install an app that requires superuser permissions, and that's why I'm asking if it's possible to install superuser on a stock rom....
[Android Apps and Games] Pons:
You just can't install Superuser on a stock ROM. Rather, you can, but it won't have root permissions. In your device's section, look at how to root it. You can keep the stock ROM, or custom ROM if you want, but you must root it first.

[Android Apps and Games] a1exus:
I installed Superuser through CWM, and now I'm trying to uninstall through Settings->Apps it won't let me, how do I remove it?
[Android Apps and Games] efrant:
Use a file manager with root access, mount the system partition as r/w, and then delete /system/app/Superuser.apk
[Android Apps and Games] a1exus:
and that's it?
[Android Apps and Games] efrant:
Yes.

You could also delete the su binary: /system/bin/su
[Android Apps and Games] Pons:
The su binary is actually at /system/xbin/su and just so he's tracking, this will make you lose root access on your ROM (it won't touch your S-ON/S-OFF status).
[Android Apps and Games] efrant:
It's only in xbin if you put it there. If you flash ChainsDD's package, it puts it in bin and symlinks it to xbin.
[Android Apps and Games] Pons:
Fair enough. I haven't looked at ChainsDD's package provided in this thread (I probably should, but off to work). It also depends on which ROM you're using and how you got the Superuser installed. He never mentioned how, and people reply in this thread without using the enclosed flashable zips; just use the one provided in the ROM. I'm running CM10 and it's in xbin with no symlink.

tl;dr check xbin and bin
[Android Apps and Games] a1exus:
I dont want to lose root, I'm switching to SuperSU so i dont think i should delete that binary
[Android Apps and Games] guitardoc64:
Install super su first, update its binary, then you can uninstall superuser.
[Android Apps and Games] a1exus:
turns out that supersu app has binary buildin, so no need to check/update)) market will notify whenever there is an update
[Android Apps and Games] Pons:
Just to double check, open SuperSU first (which updates its binary from the app; meaning it doesn't download) before you un install Superuser.

How can I root my sgs 1 again

Hi, It's the first time I'm writing here, I follow XDA-developpers since last July, and especially the topic with the Mackay Rom.

And if I'm here is that I've a problem with my sgs I9000.

I think that it's not the first time that it happens, but for me it is.

My Galaxy S, under JB 4.2.2 Mackay ROM 2.8.6 (is?) (was ?) rooted, like most of our phones, but since à few days some apps would not work correctly, and they say "Your phone is not rooted", or something like that.

But I still have Superuser, and Titanium backup, and Titanium says: "Rights of Superuser OK for Titanium Backup".

But BatteryCalibration says "Root your device first", and others says the same.

I've tried to go back to another kernel, flashed also another Mackay Rom, but nothing changed.

So I know one way to root:

Back to a stock Rom (2.3.6) with Odin, Root with Odin, Flash again, and install gapps again (with playstore) but I hope that there's another way to do that.

Thanks for your help.

And very sorry if 'Im not in the right topic,
[Android Apps and Games] Pons:
Try going into Superuser app section. Are any of the apps that aren't working listed as deny?

This is kinda a really old (and possibly abandoned) app. I recommend switching to Koush's Superuser which is updated much more frequently.

Superuser
[Android Apps and Games] djmcnz:
It would be nice to get official confirmation that this app has been abandoned.

Unless we get confirmation that development is ongoing we need to report to Google Play that "Superuser Elite" is still being sold and this is against Play Store policy.

I'd hate to do this to ChainsDD who has contributed so much but I'm not happy that I can't get support even for the Elite product that I paid for.

[Android Apps and Games] ChainsDD:
updater-binary and script are related. I'm not sure why it wouldn't work on amon_ra's recovery, that's how I tested it. Unless that phone uses a different partition system. The update mounts userdata in an attempt to fix the permissions error. I think the best fix involves removing all references of the package from packages.xml on install.
[Android Apps and Games] Daneshm90:
But if u have update-script and updater-script, does one take preference over another ? ive flashed update.zip's before which have had either one, not both :confused:

I've never had any of those update-binary scripts working on my phone. Might be the old version of amon-ra I have (1.5.2). No updates for it :(
[Android Apps and Games] ChainsDD:
I actually have no idea. update-script was left in accidentally. I re-upped the files, freshly made to ensure no issues like that again. Probably won't fix the permissions error, but it may fix the update.zip.

Looking at fix_permissions for a way to fix the permissions error.
[Android Apps and Games] ChainsDD:
That's probably it. Get in touch with Amon_Ra about an update. In the meantime I'll look into the possibility of using both update_script and updater_script. Also the fix for permissions I'm looking into will require an adaptation of fix_permissions. Is your recovery capable of running that?
[Android Apps and Games] flibblesan:
No idea. I've asked amon_ra about an update and he said he'll look into it.
[Android Apps and Games] Daneshm90:
Well ah ur on an old amonra thats why. Im on 1.7.0 and ive flashed plenty of stuff with the update-binary. Wait then how do u flash cyan's roms ? they all have update-binary in them :confused:
