Yes you do need to update your existing one. Use the one I have attached. Also, to install it you need to flash it via ClockworkMod or Xrecovery. The problem could also be affected by you not having busybox installed. Download Busybox Installer from the market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer&feature=search_result , install it and install the latest version of busybox available in it. In it, there is a box checked which says: "Symlink Busybox Applets", LEAVE THIS CHECKED (DO NOT UNCHECK). If you want a to try out the new interface of SuperUser (With additional stuff), get Rom Manager and download the latest beta (It's a nice improvement).

problem with LCD wrong density

I'm playing around with lcd densisty... and i got a very small - unusable -display.

Every ways to restore (apss, manual editing, etc...) is with root access... But i cannot access to the yes/no soft-button of SU, since the "windows" that appear do not slide.

Any other methods or suggestion?

or you can modify this 'not-sliding' notification ?

Thanks for your help!!
[Android Apps and Games] soter:
Is this recommended for HTC Wildfire S (Android 2.2.3)? If yes, what version?

Thank you for your time.
[Android Apps and Games] McLabia:
This is why we make nandroids of our builds. lol. You could just adb push the build prop with a better density.
[Android Apps and Games] stepph:
yea, you're right, laugh of me... :o

but mine is a very strange situation... perfectly working, on a quarter of the display... only cannot scroll on the other three parts !!

adb push do not work... i need to work on R/W filesystem, adb remount does not work on original ROM, and in order to mount as root , i need to click 'yes' on superuser dialog.

btw, thank for suggestion...

What i think is :

-- an update.zip - working with samsung gt-s5570 original recovery - that replace the original build.prop file. [this is OT, but your help is welcome...]

-- a way to force 'yes - do root' in superuser gui ???

or have you any other ideas ?
[Android Apps and Games] Rusty!:
Use ADB in recovery to push the new file.
[Android Apps and Games] stepph:
Solved !!!

the problem was i only did an "half-root" - the adb shell was not rooted...

... as soon as i got the su command working, i goet the problem solved.

Now i'm going to create another problem... :-)

Thanks you all...

There is a superuser version 2.3.6.3. Is that your new release?
[Android Apps and Games] diobsb:
Well, apparently I'm not the first one to have problems with Superuser. I have just done a procedure to root a Galaxy S2, and the goal seemed to be achieved. But after that I downloaded from market the Superuser, and when I first run the app, it says that it couldn't update so I should do it manually.

Well, I tried, but I get the following error message "Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip". I tried using the Update fix, and it says "No problem detected", but I force it anyway to update. It stops in the "Gaining root access..." and I get this message: "Fix failed. Try downloading and flashing an update.zip from androidsu.com"

I couldn't find any update.zip there. So I'm stuck right now. Do you have any idea of what should I do?

edit: So I went to androidsu, got the files hosted there and tried them. Now I get another error message "Failed to verify whole-file signature"

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] diobsb:
well, I managed to get it working. I followed all the steps to root my phone, but unlike the first time, I kept the insecure kernel after rooting (at first I changed to original kernel after rooting), and ran Superuser. The binary app was recognized, the applications that needed root worked, so then I moved back to the original kernel.
[Android Apps and Games] tazoul:
I have recently installed the application, and on my LG o2x it is the only application that always has the "N" symbol on the icon, as if it is a newly installed application. Even after updating to the latest version, the icon is still there. Anyone else experiencing this small bug?
[Android Apps and Games] onesolo:

[Android Apps and Games] JohnKuczek:
It's available in ROM Manager for download, and there is some discussion on the SuperUser website.

[Android Apps and Games] cbeckstein:
There are massive problems with the new Superuser 3.0 app on Android 2.3.4 and Android 2.3.5:

it breaks a lot of apps that use root because it apparently is not able to automatically grant root rights to apps that are not started explicitly by the user but automatically at startup although the user granted explicitly root rights to those apps and asked superuser to memorize that

after the system startup when the user starts the app by hand they again become root rights granted as superuser is intended to

apps that suffer from this are e.g. widghet locker, ipv6config, cachemate root, clock sync root call blcker, adaway, no moar power and others

even if one instructs superuser to grant all root requests without asking back it still denies root to some of the startup apps that were granted root by the user

whether or not an app gets root during startup seems to depend on several factors: started before or after simcard unlock, before or after unllocking the screen, before or after the initial media scan

this looks to me like a severe bug of superuser 3.0

i informed chainfire several weeks ago about this wrt a early beta but did not get any reaction
[Android Apps and Games] JohnKuczek:
I have several apps that auto start at start up which require root access, and have not seen this issue. What apps are having this issue for you?

never had this issue and i was running every 3.x beta and am now running the latest stable.

my auto start root applications are: widget locker, root call blocker pro and callrecorder.

could also be that your rom included v2.x and you updated it, but didn't update the binary through su. that's when the issues you mentioned happened to me.

and i don't blame the dev for ignoring users like you that don't seem to grasp the basic fact that they need to provide more details about their setup.

you don't call your car repair store and ask them why your car won't start and expect them to fix it. they need to take a look...

Hello, yesterday I installed the update respect from the android market and since then I have had problems, the most serious is that when connecting the phone to electricity via the USB cable the phone restarted several times.

hit clear data, then force run the update fixer. then go back to su, preferences then disable logging, then set automatic response to allow. then reboot ur phone and try root apps again. it worked for me.. maybe u can try..

Ever since the update to 3.+ in CM7, two of my apps don't work properly. PicMe (which is no longer supported in the Market) says that it can't gain root access to start the server, and Samba Filesharing says that it can't find a way to execute shell commands on my device.

Both throw the Superuser prompt and both are granted rights but neither work and did before the Superuser update so I'm sure it's related. I've sent the dev an email from the Market but didn't know if posting in this thread might help.

Any idea how to workaround the problem?

Well, I made the attempt to install 3.0.5, on my Thunderbolt, using Rom Manager. I ran into error messages, again. I went into Manage Applications and Cleared Data. There was no option in Update Fixer to Force, but I ran Update Fixer from My Apps. When I still got errors, I Rebooted into Recovery, and reinstalled 2.3.6.3. Next, I reinstalled 3.0.5 and now all is well. Even Titanium Backup does not FC anymore. I am not sure what the key to success was.

Could any of you guys with the FC problem after allowing or rejecting an app try this su binary: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11494687/superuser/su

to install do this

adb shell chmod 06755 /system/bin/su

I had superuser installed with SuperOneClick on my LG O1 as a system app and all worked well.

I then updated to 3.0.6 and let it update su binary to 3.0.

[Android Apps and Games] lhinsz:
Tried all the fixes; took a FULL wipe & manual recovery too...

Well, if it helps anyone else, the only way I managed to get it fixed was through

manual

recovery also; it literally took me hours researching the problem, re-installing the older version (3.02 seems okay for me,) and also because SU kept "resetting" itself to "automatic updates" through the market, no matter how many times I turned it off...

More details if anyone else is frustrated: it actually took me days to figure out that SU was THE problem because I was getting a ton of other really weird errors too, including bad SD card, bad SIM card, etc., FC on market and TB, etc.... These were ALL completely resolved after wipe and having SU back to the older version.

Of course, having no SU permissions, I had a boatload of troubles getting to the point I knew I had to wipe and re-flash ROM. I also think that having SU Elite really seemed to complicate everything even more ...

Anyhow, it took me a full wipe, advanced recovery and then a lot of data restore for apps that were linked via Link2SD. It took multiple reboots too, to get it to go back to version 3.02 and stay there.

Hopefully, Chains will figure it out soon or pull the market update, because I know there have to be a lot of unhappy people out there right about now :mad:
[Android Apps and Games] guitardoc64:
I agree. The update borked my phone, caused nothing but problems and I had to revert to w previous version. I don't see any point in the update if it caused so many people issues to the point of having to reflash ROMs. If it was already working and stable why eff with it. I used the same superuser for a year with my Hero, never had a problem. I update twice on my EVO 3D and it screws up everything.

BusyBox with the latest version v.1.19.2 are lost root permissions with SuperUser 3.0.6 Binary and SU 3.0.x.

Take a downgrade from version 1.19.0 of BusyBox or all version down.

That's because it's a system app. You are going to have to use a root uninstaller to remove it (not recommended). What I would recommend, is flashing the new version. Just flash the attached file via recovery.
