Sorry:

sn0@sn0-hp:~$ adb shell remount

remount: not found

and after adb remount and some comends:

sn0@sn0-hp:~$ adb shell rm /system/xbin/su

rm: can't remove '/system/xbin/su': Read-only file system

still the same. I try to reflash new .zip, but where is it?
[Android Apps and Games] ChainsDD:
fuuuuu... Should've been

adb remount

fixed it

And new zip is in OP. Use the same link, I just updated it.
[Android Apps and Games] ChainsDD:
Quick note to those experiencing problems with the symlink loop, if your ROM dev is doing something odd with the partition table there's gonna be problems. I'm looking into how to fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] MotoCache1:
You need a different package. I replied to your PM.
[Android Apps and Games] MotoCache1:
You said you're running the "latest stock Android 2.1 rooted with an exploit by UniversalAndroot". Does your phone still have the stock /recovery? If so, you can't install any update.zip files that aren't signed by the OEM.
[Android Apps and Games] WaveMaster1406:
Great job bro!!!! :D

2.3.1 now works 100% on my Evo. No more FC's when opening the app.

[Android Apps and Games] TeeJay3800:
Could that fix my problem? I'd like to know before I re-flash the zip since restoring backups is sorta a PITA.

To clarify my problem, the log tab force closes and when an app requests SU permissions, it is immediately denied without the SU app asking me for permission.
[Android Apps and Games] ChainsDD:
Before you try all that, try simply going into Settings -> Applications -> Superuser and clear data.
[Android Apps and Games] ChainsDD:
Uploaded new zips that'll fix the symbolic link issue. That's the only change so if you're not having that issue, no need to reflash.
[Android Apps and Games] splttingatms:
Works

Hey Superuser works now! Thanks for the help. Only problem I would say is in SU it FC when I press the Log tab.
[Android Apps and Games] TeeJay3800:
You know, I wasn't even able to clear data because the button was greyed out. However, after flashing a second time, SU now works perfectly. Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] dsixda:
Yes, same here. I did a wipe and still the same thing.

SORRY. I am an absolute noob when coming to ADB and the commands. :(:(

How exactly do I update and install this version of Superuser? I only have the Superuser that comes with the root.

I did plenty of searches and I am still confused. Please give me a hint.

THANKS! :D
[Android Apps and Games] draffter:
Just flash it as normal ROM file in recovery.
[Android Apps and Games] UpGrad3:

You may wish to edit your post and remove the massive quote of the OP before you get too many flames on it. I'm not a ROM Manager user, so I'll leave that answer to someone who is.

[Android Apps and Games] gohamstergo:
Ever since upgrading from KaosFroyo v28 to v29, superuser FCs everytime I try to open it. Was working fine, so not sure what may have changed. I tried deleting /bin/su, /xbin/su, and superuser.apk and reflashing but no go. What other files are used by su that i could possibly delete? I was going to try the 'clear application data' or whatever trick mentioned a few pages back, but su doesn't show in 'manage applications' anywhere.

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Can confirm the same thing. Just had it happen but like you said, once the log is populated, it's no longer an issue so no harm no foul.
[Android Apps and Games] FrozenData:

Great work! i have put the new Superuser 2.3.1 in all the new Galaxy S update.zip's!
[Android Apps and Games] Broken:
In my case I used the 2.1 unsigned. Went into my OpenRecovery 1.05 directory on my sdcard and replaced the su and superuser.apk files in the root directory with the included ones from the download. Rebooted into recovery, ran update.zip to get into openrecovery and ran root again.

edit: wiped/flashed cy then adb pushed su it went through but there is no difference to how it was

gonna try pushing the apk see if that helps

So I'm ....................................................
[Android Apps and Games] vido.ardes:
Awesome, much better than the original!
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
I'm not sure if this is a bug report or a lesson learned, but here goes:

Due to commit "Perform all database interactions in the apk." (c23cf), if an activity requests su, the activity's onResume() is always called. Prior to c23cf onResume() was only called after the permission window showed up.

This means activities cannot (easily) call su in their onResume (like to update the view in case while it was paused you allowed/revoked their su privileges) without causing an infinite loop.

In retrospect, it was bad for me to do this originally as even prior to c23cf if the user didn't check "always allow" they would still have an infinite loop.

I'm looking into it a bit deeper as I'm curious.
[Android Apps and Games] skitzo2000:
Worked Perfect On Sprint Hero with DC 2.08.1

Nice work guys. I love the improved interface. In the past the su requests we're always pretty slow to show up on my Hero, but this new version popped up right away as soon as I did an su request in terminal. Good Job!

For those with a Sprint Hero using DC's rom, the su-2.1-e-signed.zip worked perfect on the first shot.
[Android Apps and Games] W.O.P.R:
**EDIT**

Son of a biscuit, I should be using the Eclair version - DOH!

Tried both Signed and Unsigned version for Cupcake on my G1 (ROM in Sig) by running the zip from Recovery Console. Super User app opens, but when I try to run an app that requires SU such as Wireless tether I am not prompted and Wireless Tether says it cannot start.

Tried to manually install via ADB:

adb push su /system/bin

adb push superuser.apk /system/app

both were successful in pushing the files the the destination, but still I am not ever prompted when opening\starting apps that require su.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] W.O.P.R:
**UPDATE**

Changed to the Eclair version, both Signed and Unsigned. Only difference now is that when I open either Wired or Wireless Tether to test I get a warning the I don't have root access.
[Android Apps and Games] Skrilax_CZ:
Works fine on my Milestone (better than the "old crappy one"). Gonna use it with the next release of Open Recovery.
[Android Apps and Games] PeRRiiN:
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but, to install this we have to download to sd card, boot into recovery and flash it, right?

I have a rooted Nexus One running CM 5.0.6 and I want to install 'su-2.1-e-signed.zip'.
[Android Apps and Games] .mak:
Works great on my Eris, but only if it's installed via Recovery. Cooked into ZenEXP-Eris, it doesn't allow root perms. for any app.

Is there any possibility that this new su will work on data/bin/su and superuser.apk on data/app/superuser.apk? I use an Archos 5IT and the system partion is still secured but we have been getting root on data partition.

I have to use unsigned to get it work.
[Android Apps and Games] bijixda:
Nice work..... now my su is not buggy anymore, and nice interface ^^

thanks

[Android Apps and Games] leobg:
Great - su application now much more useful! I used OpenRecovery 1.05 to flash it to my Telus Milestone, following Broken's approach. file I used is "su-2.1-e-unsecure-signed.zip"

Now I only miss the # sign in the app menu - it looks so old-school :)
[Android Apps and Games] ATomCZ:
I tested this twice already on HTC HD2 with Android. I only manually (via adb) copy Superuser.apk to /system/app and su to /system/bin and it does nothing. When I run Superuser from installed app it show only black screen and all app can get SU mode without any notification, all works like before. Where is problem?
[Android Apps and Games] ngagephone:
hmm jurt noticd that since i installed this my sd card will not mount via usb any chance of a fix im runing pulse mini with stock android 2.1 please

[Android Apps and Games] gbishop18:
what commands would you type to do the market in better terminal? "# mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/stl5 /system"?

Incredible w/sky2.5.2 sense and hydra OC 1.113
[Android Apps and Games] ChainsDD:
I'm not sure what your remount command is, if what you put is correct, then use

mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/stl5 /system
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk

Then reboot your phone normally.
[Android Apps and Games] unchainedrssr:
As work around for installing the latest version, I read that rootexplorer works well to uninstall the old version and then dl the new one from the market.

I did no reading on it at all and used Astro to remove and replace the old .apk with the new one I downloaded and extracted. Then I flashed with Clockwork Recovery.

Both work, though I didn't buy the rootexplorer app and test it.
[Android Apps and Games] TeeJay3800:
I just noticed that the Market version is 2.3.2.2, but the flashable version posted here is 2.3.2.1. Will the flashable version be updated soon?
[Android Apps and Games] ghidda:

[Android Apps and Games] ilos:

[Android Apps and Games] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Hoping for this as well. With that being said though, what has been changed in 2.3.2.2? Didn't notice a changelog anywhere.
[Android Apps and Games] Aexel:
When i start the market version it says i need to apply "su-2.3-bin.zip"

So i tried to apply it via OpenRecovery 1.14 for Motorola Milestone.

There i get the following error:

E:Could not find the update-binary

When i try to apply "su-2.3.2.1-ef-signed.zip" i get the same error.

Does somebody know why?

I still don't know what I did wrong...

I had rot from 2.3 and since that version I do not succeed to nether upgrade from Market nor include it properly in my ROM.

Having permissions denied.

When I lash (and the shell script executes) it works fine.

@ChainsDD: any special thing to do to get it working in a ROM? I mean like does your shell script?
[Android Apps and Games] TeeJay3800:
Since the Market version gets updates more quickly and seems more up-to-date, is there any reason to not use it? I thought maybe there was some performance advantage to the flashable zip version, but if not, I just assume use the Market version.
[Android Apps and Games] TDQuiksilver:
See below.
[Android Apps and Games] TDQuiksilver:

How do you guys install from the market? It says it has not been signed and it doesn't allow me to install it... :(
[Android Apps and Games] antikryst:
i deleted the superuser.apk via root explorer... that allowed me to install from the market.

does it really popup screens on boot asking for superuser access? the one i had before this never did it on boot. just wondering if this is a feature or if my installation encountered any problems.

i feel like i have to go through 5 nag screens upon rebooting my phone lol.
[Android Apps and Games] elborak:
2.3.2.3 from the market installed fine for me.

are you getting the "nag screens" on boot? still not sure if this is a bug :)

[Android Apps and Games] thor2002ro:
2.3.2.3 no more FC on SE X10.... but where do we get the last su binary?
[Android Apps and Games] Aexel:
Does this mean there is still a chance that this error occures because of problems with the update.zip? Since nobody can tell me why i get this error i guess this are good news ;) Seems like i am not alone.
[Android Apps and Games] Skimi:
I'm getting this too.. any solution?
[Android Apps and Games] MotoCache1:
If you look in /sdcard on your phone you should see that Superuser has dropped a su-2.3-bin.zip file there.
[Android Apps and Games] Aexel:
Yes works that far. But as sayed before, if you try to apply "su-2.3-bin.zip" with OpenRecovery you get the error E:Could not find the update-binary.
[Android Apps and Games] thor2002ro:
manually replacing /system/bin/su worked fine for me :)
[Android Apps and Games] MotoCache1:
You can manually replace su as the prior poster suggested (using the one in the zip).

For those of you getting "E:Could not find the update-binary" you've probably got a recovery that requires a .zip that uses the updater-script/update-binary type package instead of update-script (with no binary). I sent ChainsDD some information and files to play with on that, but in the meantime, I've repackaged Superuser in a package that installs fine on my Droid (running SPRecovery which requires the update-binary file).

You can get it here if you like. I don't know if anybody running OpenRecovery has tried my package before, so you can let us know if it works. I'd guess it would work fine.
[Android Apps and Games] Aexel:
If it works with SPRecovery - does SPRecovery also run on the Milestone? If yes, where to get the SBF files for flashing SPRecovery to the Milestone? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Skimi:
I can't install Superuser from Market, it gives me an error...

I also try to remove the old version that i installed from recovery "su-2.3.2.1-ef-signed.zip" thru ADB by it wont remove too...

I don´t have any more solutions... but i want to have the market version... :(

Anyone have a solution??
[Android Apps and Games] bird333:
I downloaded zip in OP. Renamed to update.zip. Booted into recovery mode. Chose 'reinstall packages' and got installation aborted. What went wrong here?
[Android Apps and Games] MotoCache1:
Zip in OP won't work in recoveries that require updater-script + update-binary (which yours must be). See previous post of mine for link.
[Android Apps and Games] CNPalmer:
ClockworkMod Recovery worked... market update fails.

Just wanted to provide some deeper feedback on my experience.

The market updated failed for me with the 2.1 version I had installed. Updated to 2.2 and still failed. Which was expected.

Used RootExplorer to remove the .apk file from /system/app and downloaded 2.3.1 from a previous post. Rebooted into recovery and installed by choosing the .zip from the SDCard. Worked fine. I had to re-allow permissions for bootup apps upon the restart so I know it worked.

Tried the market update after this and it failed again.

Downloaded the updated 2.3.2.1 from the OP and rebooted into recovery and performed the same process and installed/updated just fine. I did not have to re-allow permissions, they transferred over.

The market update failed saying the package was not properly signed each attempt. I had to be in the install/update screen for the app in the market to see this message, otherwise, my notification just read install unsuccessful.

I'm still not at the latest release as the market is showing 2.3.2.3 as an updated version.
[Android Apps and Games] MotoCache1:
You did this?

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb reboot
[Android Apps and Games] MotoCache1:
Regarding signing, the package in the OP is signed with a "test key" whereas the one in the Market is signed with a "real" key. I'm assuming it can see that they are signed by two different developers, so the one in the Market is "invalid".

What you're experiencing makes sense. The Market can't replace the version you install with .zip. The zip puts Superuser.apk in /system/app. The Market puts it in /data/app. The Market can't replace something in /system/app (thankfully). To install the market version you'd have to remove the APK from /system/app. It would probably also be a good idea to remove the appropriate <package>stuff here</package> element from /data/system/packages.xml.

Then you could install the Market version.
[Android Apps and Games] MotoCache1:
I'm hoping ChainsDD doesn't mind me responding to all these questions. Obviously I'm not the developer, but I've buried myself in the source code of the Android installer/updater systems pretty deeply since working on making my own package and have a pretty good idea how to deal with most "installation" issues. Issues with the actual app itself I leave to him. Anyway, if I can lighten the load on him a little by helping with the packaging/installation issues I'm glad to.
[Android Apps and Games] CNPalmer:
Thanks for the reply MC. I have a pretty easy solution to all of it...

Just dl'd your other package over at droidforums.net other site and updated that through recovery, BANG! Now I'm on the laest version!
[Android Apps and Games] MotoCache1:
That works too. As you found, I've got 2.3.2.3 in there.

Having the Market version would be nice because then updating is easy. But then again, anything the Market installs the Market can remove, so... I kind of like having my Superuser.apk somewhere that nothing else can mess with it.
