is this an important problem that i should fix? If so how would i go about that?
I've upgraded to the new radio and then back to stock rom and radio, and now superuser says signatures failed with superuser fixer.
Go to the market and download the SU update fixer app. I used that when my su was encountering mismatched signature errors.

So I rooted my tblot no problem but when i rooted my manager's i keep having a problem with the superuser process force closing. I've tried rerooting and reinstalling superuser, updating su... phone is rooted and s-off. I would try and figure it out myself but i only have access to it at work when i bring my laptop in and mess with it on my lunch. So basically i was just wondering if anyone had the same problem and how they fixed it.

Did you try fixing permissions? It's in Rom Manager.
Rom manager can't run because the superuser process force closes whenever you try and run anything that requires root permissions
Another weird thing is that he is able to uninstall superuser from the manage applications menu

There are some borked versions of superuser out there. Make sure you're installing a very well-trusted ROM with a known-good superuser app.

You can also fix permissions by booting into recovery.
Is there a release of clockwork mod outside of rom manager for the thunderbolt? i tried finding a zip to flash in fastboot but to no avail

I had a similar issue a while back. I had to redo the entire root process from scratch using the adb method, then I installed a rom that had the superuser fix from rmk40; most TB roms use the fix. Good luck!

Your issue may be related to how busybox is installed. A standard "busybox --install [path]" will create a link for busybox's su. If that's earlier on the path than the correct su for Android, it will cause problems. The easy fix is, after installing busybox, remove the su it created.
Everyone seems to do different things with busybox. It may be placed in different places, and may not be "installed" with the links created.
I put it in /system/sbin, and create the links there. If you followed the common instructions for root, that su should be in /system/xbin. The standard PATH is =/sbin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin
From adb shell, do a "busybox which su" It should say "/system/xbin/su"
I wish someone who was setup for cross-compiling would do a busybox with no su, and with "ls --color=never" the default.
Makes sense... unfortunately i don't have too much access to his phone to mess with it. Here's hoping the tbolt gets unrevoked support soon...

anyone else unable to update superuser app on market to the 2.3.6.2 upon updating it fails to update the binaries.
i also tried installin thru clockwork and that fails as well.
I have gone as far as to remove superuser.apk with adb with removes ok abd redownloaded su from market installs ok updates binaries ok but fails to give anything permissions.
i am running perfect storm 1.5 {based on the new mr2 leak}
I just tried and had the same problem.
-Unable to install/update Binary through Su app
-tried to install zip file from SD card through CWM
-I then went to the market and installed Superuser update fixer.
-I ran the update fixer it showed that both busybox was ok and signatures were ok.
- I then went back into Su and the binary updated with no problem - It now shows that I have Binary v2.3.2-efgh.
Hope this helps.
I just upgraded to JB on my HTC Evo 4G lte. I am S-ON rooted and everything is working except SuperSU v0.99. I see several others are having the same issue. We are rooted and our apps can obtain root but when you open the SuperSU app, it wants to update the binary. If you allow it to update the phone crashes and reboots. If you select cancel SuperSU closes and you cannot get to any of the settings. There does not seem to be a solution that I have found. I would like to switch to another Superuser app but can't seem to find instructions on how to do so.Will changing to another Superuser app even solve the problem? Ideas?
Edit: Upon further investigation it appears that changing to ChainDD's superuser app may not solve the issue of not being able to update the binaries. So what is the solution?
Edit: I got my answer:

The only solution is to get s-off. It looks like the new hboot locks the system partition so apps such as supersu and ad-free aren't going to work for you anymore.

I'm having the same issue. I switched to superuser and now I'm rooted as root checker states but I can't use adaway any more as Xhausx mentioned that the system directory in JB is locked now and the only way to make it work is to get s-off which is not available right now and i doubt it will be.

what actually bussybox do to our devices.??
i havent installed this app still all the rootapps areworking great, so what really it does to our device
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda app-developers app
In a layman's lanaguage- busybox is a set of command line tools which is used by applications with root privilege to alter data on restricted partitions of system.
It's a must have for any rooted user who want to alter their device to their liking not usually allowed in stock ROMs.

cant install it
o have dsc rom with simplesu

qhat to do.?

Use SuperSU instead of SimpleSU. As I explain in the Traveller DSC thread, SimpleSU's su binary isn't seen as a valid binary by certain apps. Stericson's Busybox installer is one of those apps.
You could also switch to Traveller DSC, as it uses SuperSU and includes a comprehensive busybox binary.
cant i just use some other app for it without changing the rom
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda app-developers app
You can install SuperSU from the Play Store (not recommended due to bugs in SuperSU 1.69), but you'll need to add SuperSU's package to SimpleSU's whitelist before SimpleSU will allow SuperSU to do its thing. In the Traveller DSC thread I do make a flashable zip of SuperSU 1.65 available to plug into /system, which is the best way to go. This will replace SimpleSU's binary and allow the Busybox installer to function. If you go this route, make sure to read the post regarding SuperSU.
Regardless of which way you install SuperSU, all apps requiring root will require that permissions be granted again, since you are changing both the su binary and the Superuser app.
This thread is for users facing difficulties on updating the Superuser app, while running a custom or stock ROM
Most times you might be facing problems like "Singature error". I will give you some instructions on updating Superuser. Here's what you will do:
1. Open Google Play Store and install the "System Apps Installer'' application. It is free and it is compartible with Galaxy Y.
2. Open it and grant superuser permissions to the app.
3. At first, you will see a File Manager. Browse through your sdcard and find the new Superuser app version you have downloaded and you want to install.
4. For example I will install Superuser 3.1.3 . Now find the apk and click it.
5. It will know say "This app already exists. ¿Do you want to overwrite it?
6. Press yes and wait to install.
7. When it's done it will say "¡App installed correctly!
8. Open the new Superuser and update it's binary.
9. You're ready to go.
From now on, if Superuser has ever an update released, you will be able to update it succesfully from the Google Play Store.
Personally tested and working on Evo-x4.2
Get the APKs needed in the attachment below.
P.S. You can use that method too for other apps that you can't update.
And if this won't work on your device, you can try hnkotnis's SGYToolkit [AROMA]

if superuser error.. how to grand system app installer?
superuser Superuser is the app that manages
what apps on your rooted device
have access to su. Apps that are
granted su have elevated
permissions and can modify just
about any part of the system. The
app was originally written by zinx,
and I took it and made it much more
useable. The app consists of two
parts, Superuser.apk and the su
binary.

As mentioned in the OP, it's a guide for force updating Superuser. I didn't mention anything about "error granting su permissions", but I mentioned "error updating su and su binary".
