I updated to Andrynalyn's V2 ROM yesterday, I was hoping it would solve the issue of SU crashing. it did not. Now SU is Force Closing, and I can't use Titanium Backup to restore or ROM manager to restore to previous versions. ROM M just hangs. I have root, S-off, but can't get SU permissions for apps. Any suggestions on how to flash back to previous ROMS or at this point stock root would be fine thanks. Also, any body else having trouble with tethering? probably related to lack of SU permissions.
Thanks.

What rom are you running? Did you apply rmk's su patch?
@jmiller
I am running Adrynlyne's first debloated ROM, i'm not sure what it's called. I rooted fairly quickly and flashed the ROM and then haven't updated to anything newer, just wanted better battery life and to lose crapware.
I just saw the rmk's su patch today, I downloaded the .zip and tried to install via Rom Manager, but ROM keeps force closing and not loading due to Superuser not working properly, I think. essentially I can't get the phone to install the .zip from ROM manager. I'm a n00b, and thought about using adb to push the .zip and load it that way, but I'm not sure of the commands I need.
Any other suggestions would be great. Thanks.

This prob needs to be posted under adrynalyn's thread so that he will see it. I would prob start over with rooting again though, it sounds like it did not root properly.

Try manually flashing the 2.3.6.3efgh Superuser zip from recovery.
You can find it here http://goo.gl/VjOjR
Thanks but that still didn't work.. now what
Sent from a cellular telephone
Honestly, that should have worked. Are you sure it flashed (said successful in recovery)? I'm not personally familiar with BAMF so I don't know if they have some custom way of hiding it or anything.
It's not listed in the drawer correct?
Is it listed under Manage Applications (All)? If so, force stop and clear its data.
Is Su.apk in /system/app and su in /system/xbin?
There was a signature problem around the time 2.1 was first released where some people lost superuser and had to flash 2.0.3 but honestly, that should be fixed now so it shouldn't be that unless there's something you may have done that you didn't mention. I suppose if it comes down to it you could try some older versions of Superuser.
Other than that, I'm not sure how you'd get it back without restoring a nandroid or reflashing the rom but flashing the su zip should have accomplished that.
Edit:
Just thought...check to see if Superuser shows up in your Market and will let you install. If su is already installed and just broken, that may fix it. Worth a shot anyway.

Wow. I feel dumb. I got it fixed. I just went in with root explorer and deleted the superuser file first. Then flash the file you sent me and boom. Worked. Thank you very much for your time

Ok, I had been running miui v1.9.3.0 but it had too many glitches and bugs, so I downgraded to v1.9.2.3 and soon realized that titanium backup no longer works, due to no root access. I've gone into superuser and turned on the superuser permissions, i've tried reflashing, rebooting, using Odin and going back to stock and reflashing... everything! But whenever I use titanium backup, "no root access"! What happened?! Please, someone help...
Sent from my SGH-T959 (Samsung Vibrant)
remove everything and anything that relates to superuser. use rootexplorer or something and search it, and then remove everything, and then odin.
Then root using superoneclick or something like that.
That may do the trick.
maybe you had like a bad binary or something? idk
Can you tell me the directories to look for?

Grrrr... I still can't find any SU related files and folders and I have a question. Shouldn't using Odin to go back to stock fix this issue? I've repeatedly flashed back to stock in hopes of resolving this issue but none of my attempts worked...

ADDITIONAL INFO: Also, the reason for this issue could be because I tried to update superuser with an app in the market and another bit of info is that although Titanium Backup and some other root apps don't work, SetCPU and a few other root apps do work. So I'm in a vey confusing situation.
Click to expand...

Oh...
Uhm, a question, the stock odin files that you have, are they TOTAL stock? like no root? or is it one of the rooted ones?
Can you go back into the market, go into superuser, and try to uninstall it? or go into settings>applications> and then go into superuser and it should say like undo update or something? Maybe those can fix?
Has titanium backup been allowed superuser before? Has SetCPU been allowed superuser before? If it has been done before, that may be why some work and some don't.
Yes, they should be totally stock. I downloaded them from "s15274n". And also, I'm not sure if you're familiar with MIUI but it has its own version of superuser that comes with it that's different from the one downloaded from the market... So this is a very confusing problem... Also, Titanium did work before and I never had issues until I tried updating the SU bianary and busybox. It seems as if odin isn't cleaning up everything, but I'm not sure... I made a big mistake thinking that the market SU app could update MIUI's SU bianary and now I can't seem to truly start from scratch...
This is a feature, I assume, as MIUI will soon be preinstalled on phones (MI-One). All you need to do is go into the Super User app after flashing MIUI, hit menu -> settings (I think) and check to enable root.
No ODIN, no reflash, just that. It's not just the Vibrant, and I think it's the new norm for MIUI.
That's the thing though, I've already turned on superuser in it's settings. I'm not sure what to do...

Then that's just weird. Try reverting a few weeks? I understand the last 2-3 weeks has been pretty bad.
uninstall Titanium Backup and Reinstall Via Market. Titanium can bug out when you restore it via backup or when you try using it after a OS update
also verify your Superuser App (the one thats preinstalled in Miui) Has both "Manage Permissions, and Root Permissions" Enabled

he prob. Forgot to enable root permissions.
Actually, I did have root permissions enabled. But when I restored titanium and other root apps with miui's built in backup/restore utility I guess it just made them glitchy. Uninstalling and reinstalling all the apps that need root solved the problem. Thanks "boystuff"!

Hi,
As you can see on my signature, i'm using an official ICS ROM without modifications as my daily drive... and was using it without problems util today.
I was on my math class using the calculator and suddently my phone freezed. I rebooted it several times without success... sometime after it starts (i can see the home screen and launch apps, or push notification bar) ... it freezes again.
There is anything that i can do to recovery or see what is doing this? I can access the phone via adb shell... i doesn't want to flash my cellphone again and configure everything... and yes, i have titanium backup but i was waiting my feel to flash JB again to make a backup... :cyclops:
If anyone can guide me to trace what is making my phone freeze, i'll be greateful.

If you have made adjustments to build.prop or init.d scripts i would suggest to remove the ones you're not sure they work ok...
I didn't changed nothing, i was just using it as a normal user does! Maybe is a divine call to me flash JB again... but i'll wait to debug this error and trace what app or service is breaking me.
Have you fully wiped between your flashes?
From android 4.1 for example to 4.0.4..?
Yes, i did a full wipe when i rolled back to 4.0.4...
If you're running 4.0.4 can you upload your build.prop or init.d? I'm using samsung stock rom, not a custom one.
Thanks for your enforces to help!
Yes mate,gimme 2 minutes...
I'm on LH3 but it should do just fine...
By the way remember to wipe cache and dalvik after you push the files and also delete the init.d folder and delete your build.prop!
There you go!
I'm using these setting for 2 weeks now they seem stable and quite fast...
Do let me know if this worked or not!
Hi,
Thanks for your help, i tried to put your build.prop and didn't resolved, BUT, i managed to see something...
My SuperUser (su) was broken... i tried to execute "su" into adb shell and frozen my shell, so i did remount my system and copy my su again to /system/bin/su.
Time to take a full backup with Titanium!
Thanks for your help!
Edit:
What's the correct permission to su? 0755? I did it and i still without superuser now... i need it to use titanium but for now, freeze was gone!

Removed root with toolkit 5.0 and installed SuperSU, everything seems fine now.
Thanks all!
So I have the HTC Evo 4G LTE and i upgraded to the 3.16 update. Ran QBKING77's root and unlock method and everything worked great, my question is, i was using the phone and ran my backup of titanium and after i did that it said that i lost root access, so i did the twrp recovery (2.4.1) and reset the phone to right after the unlock, i deleted the titanium backup i had and downloaded all my apps and settings again manually, If i use Root checker basic (one with a white background and hashtag with a green checkmark) it says i have root access, if i use Root Checker (with blue android) it says i do not, if i try to use titanium backup it says i do not have root, but every other root program i have works fine and says i have root access, ROM Toolbox Pro works just fine...how do i get Titanium Backup to work???
edit- this is the error i get with titanium backup: sorry, i could not acquire root privileges. This application will *not* work! Please verify that your ROM is rooted, and try again. This attempt was made using the "/system/xbin/su" command
What rom are you on?? Also you can try to update your su app from within the app or flash the su zip found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
to see if it will resolve the issue. Also what version of titanium backup are you using? You should have the option to hit the problems button and download a reliable version of busy box from within the titanium backup app. If not and your running a stock rom then download busybox from the play store, install latest ver and see if it helps.

Have you checked if Super SU is granting titanium backup root access?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Download busybox from the play store, run the app and get latest ver of busy box, clear data on tb, reboot, and see if you still get the error. If so try flashing the su zip from the link. If that's a no go I'd recommend backing up your data via other apps, making a nand & flashing a stock rooted rom.

It says it has access, says grant, but now the root checker basic i was using says i do not have access, restarting to see if i can change it, when i start SuperuserSU, it say i need to update the binaries and when i hit ok, it says installing and then operation failed and starts the program. As well, anything that has been granted access, a little black popup shell shows at the bottom of the screen real quick saying that super setcpu has been granted root access for the interactive shell?
I have tried two versions of busybox, busybox free which tells me there was a problem opening a shell with root access and then closes and i tried busybox installer which says device is rooted but when i hit install it says that instillation failed.
Im on the stock rom from the 3.16 update, everything i have read is that i would not be able to flash a rom because of compatibility issues and i the 3.16RUU is not available for download anywhere..and just FYI, still fairly new to rooting, but learning!
Thanks
Thanks 72, I flashed the SU Update 1.04 from your link and its working perfect now, good to go...take care. Hopefully it stays rooted!

Hey All-
just have to say this phone is awesome.
It is rooted, and I have titanium backup and a few other things installed without any bumps.
but when u try to install busybox, it either days "busybox installation failed",.or it crashes.
I have tried busybox installer with the same results.
Help!!
How is Titanium Backup working if you don't have busybox installed? I thought busybox is needed in order for TB to work properly.

i am curious too. My titanium works, when i try normal or smart install of busy box it either fails or the phone reboots.
When you flash supersu on recovery, do you still need busybox?

I had this exact same problem with stock ROM and unlocked with root. Cedric at Android Tuner reviewed my catlogs and its something to do with CPU3. I flashed [ROM][4/27] - AT&T Stock Root 1.26.502.10 -| Flashes boot.img | System RW capable! and haven't had a problem since. Hope this helps.
I was also having this problem as well as trying to install Secure Settings Helper. Both wouldn't install even though I had root. I discovered from another thread it is the kernel. You need a kernel that will allow you to actually right to the system dir. Once I flashed a new kernel, both busybox and secure settings helper installed just fine.
