Is anyone able to help us with this problem. We need to be able to install Superuser to complete the Rooting process.
[Android Apps and Games] cappaj1:
Root error

After one click root, and installing Superuser and running it, the installing and running ROM manager, it gives me the error:

"You must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Superuser was not found at "system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su". Use google search on your pc to find instructions to root your phone"

After rooting my phone, the last message I saw on the screen, prior to trying the above, was:

cp: can't create '/system/xbin/su': Read-only file system

adb server is out of date. killing...

* daemon started successfully *

Unable to chmod /system/xbin/su: No such file or directory

adb server is out of date. killing...

* daemon started successfully *

Unable to chmod /system/xbin/su: No such file or directory

How can I from the command window create the

system/xbin/su

and

chmod /system/xbin/xu

manually?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Is there a reason why no one has responded to my request for help regarding the problem my friend has been having with Rooting his Thunderbolt and Superuser? It is very frustrating waiting day after day for a hint as to how to correct the problem. I have rerun the Rooting process numerous times with the same results as posted previously. I have sent PM's to the owner of this thread and they have gone unanswered, as well.
[Android Apps and Games] ray5780:
what is going on with superuser? Is there anything left to do with superuser or is it at the peak of its development?
[Android Apps and Games] buschbarber:
I had my friend bring his Thunderbird over to my house and use my computer to Root it. We followed the same procedure we did at his house and this time, it finished successfully, just like mine did 2 weeks ago.

Not sure what was different unless it had to do with his USB drivers. Superuser worked fine as did Rom Manager and Titanium Backup.
[Android Apps and Games] sbrytskyy:
Same for me, except I have G tablet.

Can anybody explain how to install the zip correctly?
[Android Apps and Games] buschbarber:
For my friend, it was a Driver issue. He came over to my house and the Root worked as advertisef, just like mine did.

There may be other reasons why that error occurs, but no one was able to tell me here.
[Android Apps and Games] sbrytskyy:
Probably rephrase the question.

I have downloaded to my PC su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip

How can install it to my G-Tablet using USB or other way?

Can anybody explain how to "flash it to udpate your su binary"?

Thanks.

Hi, I have some trouble in order to install the superuser. I get a line 7 error with the recovery partition when flashing the zip.

I am using Cronos Droid Version 1.4.1. I checked and superuser.apk is inside of data/app.

I tried manually replacing the superuser.apk. I did it but I just can't replace content of /system/ My root required apps won't work anymore.

What can I do to fix the line 7 error ?

Thank you

Hello,

It seems that SuperUser 2.1 and LEDs Hack are not compatible with each other. Here is the issue that I am having...

When I set LEDs Hack to disable the bottom 4 lights on my phone then open the Desk Clock application (by placing the phone the dock or opening the app) and set the screen to "Night Mode" it only stay in night mode for 30 seconds or so then wakes back up into the normal Desk Clock. I see constant messages in logcat about SU requests when the SU request comes through the screen unsleeps.

If I downgrade to superUser 2.0.3 screen will stay in "Night Mode" with LEDs Hack enabled.

I contacted the Developer of LEDs Hack and he says that it is an issue with the new version of SuperUser.apk.

CM 5.0.7.1 on the Moto Droid

SuperUser 2.1

If you need a logcat just let me know.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] CR75:
It seems to be happening with other root apps as well. The desk clock issue happens with me when my nightly MyBackup Pro runs, with or without LEDs Hack installed.
[Android Apps and Games] zonbal33:
Can anyone please tell me the difference between Superuser 2.1 & [MOD] Superuser 2.0.3 - Human readability is?

I'm on ESE81 stock w/ root (NOT ON A ROM) & was wondering which should I use? I'm new to this, so I apologize. I'm just trying to add mods/app one at a time and build my own ROM.

Thanks guys...
[Android Apps and Games] cmstlist:
This response to a poster with a Telus Milestone is incorrect on so many levels... There is no Motorola Milestone in the world that *ever* had Android 1.5! Let's step back a moment.

1) YES, Telus Milestone 2.1 is rootable. There are instructions now in the xda Milestone development forum:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=698059

2) Any method of rooting the Milestone will install some version of Superuser.apk. The one linked to above uses Open Recovery, which installs the ChainsDD Superuser.apk.

3) If you ever want to replace su and Superuser.apk with another version, it's very simple when you already have Open Recovery. Just go into the OpenRecovery folder on your SD card and locate the one that contains su and Superuser.apk. Replace them. Then boot into Open Recovery again and re-root it. It will replace them for you.

4) Any instructions on how to do this on the Verizon Droid are not applicable to the Milestone. Ask in the Milestone forum if you have any doubts.

is it possible just to exchange /system/app/superuser.apk with the unsecure from first post?

i have rooted milestone with 2.1 (ota) and trying to make sense of the whole (new for me) system and learn ...
[Android Apps and Games] cmstlist:
I don't know... try it I guess? But if it fails, then use the Open Recovery method. I figure it's safer to replace those files while in recovery mode. I'd think there could be a conflict if you're already booted up and you're trying to replace the very files that are responsible for allowing applications to replace those files in the first place ;)
[Android Apps and Games] usrname:
oh ok, thanks for your explanation. i already have adb shell on my sdcard. would "cp -f /sdcard/superuser.apk /system/app/superuser.apk" and then "chmod 755 /system/app/superuser.apk" do the same like replacing in open recovery? ... just theoretically

btw I'm also new to linux/unix and the commands.

/edit

one more question:

do I have to replace /system/bin/su or just copy su to /system/xbin, because there is no su in xbin yet.

/edit2

ok, I looked at update-script and it seems I just need to delete /system/bin/su and copy the new one into /system/xbin

/edit3

it just doesn't work

i booted into recovery and startet adb shell. I deleted /system/app/Superuser.apk and /system/bin/su then copied new Superuser.apk to /system/app and new su to /system/bin

after that I set chmod to 644 to the apk an 755 to su and rebooted. the tool shows its icon and is possible to start up, but when I start my root explorer i'm missing the root request window .... where is my mistake?? :(

/edit1,000,000

darn - bad permission. superuser.apk 644 and su 4755 ... great app! ty

[Android Apps and Games] FadeFx:
hi, first of all thanx for this nice looking peace of software,

it seems like we have some problem with your superuser.apk on galaxo 1.6.3.3 where it forces many apps to restart when they request su, which is annoying if you want to start root explorer and it just shuts down after you fire it up. also it is not possible to sync time via sytrant since it exits when trying to adjust system time... any idea what could cause this?

Warning for people messing with the 3.0 betas. You'd better skip the new beta2, it self-destructs on reboot, after that you only get FCs until you downgrade. (Also, the configuration is gone after this.)

Well, after two hours of fiddling, I managed to fix it by multiple flashes of stable/beta from recovery, multiple reinstalls of APK alone, messing with the update fixer from market etc.

No idea what fixed it in the end. Considering I had zero issues with beta1, there is obviously some weird bug in there. :confused:

(Oh, and hoping that the author actually is reading this thread, the PIN feature desperately needs a backspace key. Or at least the Cancel one working correctly.

Superuser and any antivirus for your phone dont play nice AT ALL with either other. Ive been trying to get SU to work with AVG for the last couple days and its a no go. AVG completely breaks SU. Im refering to the latest beta.

No problems with Lookout or Trend's Mobile Security. Running all 3 together for 8 months.

AVG is a known issue. They made their decision and nothing will change their mind. Check the blog at androidsu.com.

[Android Apps and Games] :
I managed to narrow down the fixing a bit.

- run the update fix from the market

- let it do its job

- reboot!!!

- install Superuser Elite and run it

- update to tap the ????? 5x to download the beta2

- run it, update the su binary

- reboot!!!

- run superuser; should work now, no FCs, though your configuration will most likely be gone

Should fix itself now. If not, download the beta ZIP and try flashing from recovery/ROM Manager.

then reboot.

Hi,

I've just finished translating your Superuser app at crowdin.net.

I would like to test it on my phone to see whether the translation is right. Would it be possible?

I would like to try the translation done by me, not the other guy, because I think it is more coherent (he sometimes uses different word forms for the same thing etc.)

If everything is ok, I will let you know, so that you can include it in your next version.

I dont understand which one I need to grab and how do I install it (and do I need to update my existing one)?

oh yeah I'm having some problems running apps such as Titanium Backup it tells me

"Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will *NOT* work! Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes BusyBox, and try again."

I don't know if I have BusyBox maybe I'm missing that... BUT I used Revolutionary to root my phone yesterday

every once in a while I'm able to get root, I use "ConnectBot" Terminal App and from over there I go local, type su and then id and I see I've got root.

but alot of other times I keep getting this:
