[Q] SetCPU won't detect root - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I open SetCPU it get a pop up that says Root access not detected, but at the same time I get the standard popup at the bottom that says SetCPU has been granted superuser permission.
For whatever reason SetCPU isnt realizing that it has root access, and then I am not able to change my main profile. I have superuser to remember to allow, and it shows up on the list in superuser as well...
Any ideas? I've tried clearing its permission in superuser, uninstalling/reinstalling setcpu with the same results....

Add SUperUser Permision Aplication SetCPU

Ok i installer SuperUser Aplication and now when i Run SetCPU i get a message |""setCPU could not obtain root access. Did you allow setCPU through Superuser permissions? If you checked Superuser permissions and SetCPU still cannot get root, there may be a permission problem with your ROM"
My ROm is Ex Launcher GO
The Superuser App alone is not enough, you need to actually have rooted your device (which also installs a different su that then uses the settings the Superuser App sets).
Grab one of the many root kernels (CF-Root, mine or w/e else) and you'll be set.

[Q] Titanium not working since SU update...

since upgrading superuser to 3.0, I can no longer access Titanium Pro
It says it has root permissions in superuser, but Titanium Backup says it cannot acquire root priveleges.
I ununstalled and reinstalled both programs, then TB would hang at the asking for root permissions screen first time. Next time I go in, it gives me the error about no priveleges. If I click switch Profile, I get asked to give it su permissions, which I click allow and tell it to remember, but it still gives me the same error. After a phone reboot, it goes back to sticking on the 'asking for root access' screen.
I used Rootchecker to check my access, it tells me Busybox is installed correctly and that I have root access. Juice Defender continues to work fine as well in the areas requiring root access, as do the adblock programs
I have no idea at all what to do! Please help…

Try this...
I just checked mine and everything works fine. I would try deleting Titanium and then re-install it and see if that helps, or try going into SU and erase Titanium's permissions and then try to run it again so it has to ask for superuser access again.
Hope that helps
Solved
just sorted it... Seems it was an app called application protect, didn't like the update. Disabled it and all good now. I had it set to ask for pattern logo password on su access... Worked before, not after...

[Q] Permissions issue

I'm getting permissions issues whenever I try to run any root apps. I get a message like this: "SetCPU could not obtain root access. Did you allow SetCPU through Superuser Permissions? Operating in read-only mode." Everything is set to "allow" in Superuser, and I have tried rebooting into recovery and clicking "fix permissions." It tells me that permissions were fixed, but when I reboot, the problem persists. I'm on the latest Synergy. What do I have to do to get my phone back to normal?

Sounds like maybe SuperUser is still denying these apps (although a user would have to tell super user whether or not to allow a root app). Run Super User and delete these apps from the list and re run the problem app and set allow again.

That didn't work, and when I try to update Superuser the last thing it says in the log is "Gaining root access... fail!"
I'm gonna re-install my ROM and see if that does the trick.
EDIT: I think it might have gotten messed up when I pulled the battery out when it was booting. In case anyone has the same issue in the future, I just flashed my ROM again (right on top of the old one) and it fixed the problem.
I've had that issue with shootme since superuser/su updated last, but haven't bothered to really look into it since cyanogen has screen shot built into it.

SGS3 re-rooting problem

Hi all,
I've rooted my SGS3 via ODIN with CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3. Everything went good and I had root in seconds. One thing I've noticed that this method is installing SuperSU app instead of SuperUser (which I was using on Motorola Defy). It didn't make any difference for me, however after some time I discovered that not all applications works with SuperSU. For instance xMissedCallPatch for exDialer don't even ask for admin permissions. Permission access window from SuperSU just don't POP UP so I can't give that app a root permissions. There was some more examples but can't remeber which one. TitaniumBackup and few other works good.
And here comes the problem:
I wanted to change from SuperSU to SuperUser, so I've installed SuperUser from market, however that does not make him as default app to handle root requests. So... I went to SuperSU settings and clicked "Switch Superuser application". That deleted SuperSU as default app to handle root, but again it didn't make SuperUser as default also. So, none of SuperSU or SuperUser were default apps to handle root
So, trying to make this out, I've uninstalled SuperUser and made ODIN again with CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3. All procedure went as expected but SuperSU still isn't default app to handle root. Now when I'm launching TitaniumBackup (for instance) it just says that it can't work because it has no root rights. As previously no Permission access window from SuperSU.
Do you have any ideas?
OK, my fault.
I've accidentaly used CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3 instead of v6.4. After ODIN with v6.4 everything works great. Even apps which hadn't popups from SuperSU previously now work. For example xMissedCallPath for exDialer now works somehow.
Sorry to bother you all, topic to close.

Checking for root privileges won't work.

I have trouble granting root privileges for Greenify. When I try to set up the app, after ticking the option "My device is rooted" there's no SuperSU pop-up for me to actually grant root permissions. I already cleared the cache and data of both Greenify and SuperSu app.
Exactly the same for me. See my message below (does not recognize root).
Got a solution! I set up the app without root and then changed the modus from "No Root + Boost (Xposed)" to "Root + Boost (Xposed)" in the apps settings. Then I got the SuperSU permission pop-up.
