Problem started when I tired running TiBu and superuser access was denied, pressed "problems" button, but that really offered not help...I have no idea why TiBu is being denied su access; busybox is installed and other apps requiring root are running just fine. I tried reinstalling busybox and su is denied as well. Opened su app and neither TiBu or busybox are on the list of apps...
I also did the normal uninstall and reinstall of TiBu...no luck
Any help would be much appreciated. I have checked forums and all that jazz and it's just not working.
Just to be sure do you get S-OFF at the top of your bootloader screen?

Same thing happened yesterday to me. Just uninstall the offending apps and reinstall. That's what worked for me.
I as well saw this recently with tibu. My solution, since a quick reinstall didn't work for some reason, was to clear the data for tibu. Next time I opened it root permissions were properly requsted.
How do you uninstall Su...it doesn't show up on the list of downloaded apps in settings/apps, also can't delete it when on the market or with the uninstall app...maybe with root explorer?
Truly appreciate all the help but I've tried all of the above multiple times with the exception of uninstalling Su and no luck...now it seems any new app that requires permission is not granted--tried downloading my back up root and access was denied still looking for a solution....Thanks

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!
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
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...

I had an issue with root explorer SU with kaosinate. I had to change the orientation to landscape to get the SU to not force close. But this doesn't work with Apps that don't go into the landscape like wifi tether. Another thing mentioned in the forums is to make sure usb debugging is on.

If you want CyanogenMod 7 on your phone then flash this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045493 It doesn't have the bugs that kaoscinate 7 has. No force close issues.
Is anyone else having superuser issues? All of a sudden it it is saying I dont have superuser or root access.
There are some issues with superuser. Which version of SU do you have? I believe the most up to date version is 3.0.4 or something to that effect. I believe that if you get the newest version it should fix your issues as the description on market says that it has fixed the issues saying that you have an outdated binary.
I have been using Infected Rom Eternity. My SU access was fine until I flashed the most recent update of their ROM. When I flashed it, my SU access broke. So when I looked into it, I saw that they had a superuser fix to downlad and flash. Once I flashed that fix, it worked again. Then about a day later I saw that there was a market update for superuser, which said that it corrected the problems people were having.
First, try to update SU. If not, look for the Superuser fix to download and flash over on the Infected Rom Eternity thread in development. good luck.

I can also confirm (using the InfectedRom) That uninstalling updates resolves the issue.
Is there a widget, or a setting to turn off Automatic Application updating without affecting anything else ?
This would be quite beneficial.
That seemed to work......thank u. I am using the viper rom now do u guys kniw of any rom or where i could get a good wifi tether for 3/4g that is config for the evo 3d?
@Mike - Bear me to it. That's what
I did too and it worked perfect.

For some people just force closing and clearing the data works but for others it doesnt...you just need to flash the su you used when u rooted the phone and that is going to fix the issue...then if u want later on u can update to the new su...

I had to do the same thing. It wouldn't let me roll back the update via the market or through the settings menu. Without root, I couldn't run Titanium to restore the version I had backed up, so I had to reflash the rom.
If anyone has to reflash the rom, make sure you don't have "automatic updates" checked off when in the market under the superuser app, or it will happen again.
Uninstalling updates, then reflashing the original SU zip through recovery seems to have worked. I tried Kernel Manager, Quick Boot, Wifi Tether, etc...all were able to be granted SU access with no crashes. Not sure I'll ever update SU at this point if I don't run into problems.

For anyone having problems with superuser. Download this version and flash in recovery. Do not let it update or do not update it until all is well again. Just go into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik-cache and flash.
I upgraded to ics and lost root(which is fine for now) but how do i remove my super user app. I cant just uninstall from settings, apps. So is there something im missing? Thanks

Depending on how you rooted, the superuser app is probably installed to /system. If this is the case then you can only remove it by doing a full root followed by an unroot.

I tried using the viperMod and I still couldnt get su permission, what is wrong. It is in the system files and I tried deleting them with the ROOT Explorer app stated above and nothing worked. What am I doing Wrong?
EDIT: sorry I didn't notice that jmikeb92 was not the OP. So this post probably makes no sense.

If I were you I'd root using mempodroid, install the su binary, then use a terminal shell to remove all traces of root (ie: superuser apk, busybox, su).
Another thing you can do is check the permissions on your su binary. Not sure where vipermod puts it, probably in /system/xbin. Check that it is setuid at least. If it is not, that's your problem. In this case gain root using mempodroid and setuid the sucker.

No it is not difficult but you would need some knowledge of linux security. For example what setuid/setgid is, how to change file ownership, how to change file permissions.
There are lots of resources out there if you are interested in that sort of thing.
Hi,
I had this problem and spent hours before I could figure out how to remove Superuser.
Maybe you can try this method:
First, download Root Browser Lite from the market. It's like Root Explorer, but it's free and can work with both rooted and unrooted device. Then, open it and go to system>app. Inside the folder, delete the file 'Superuser.apk'. When it's done, power off to restart the phone.
If that doesn't work, you can do what I did. Search for Superuser in the market and try to uninstall from there. It may take a while. After that if the dead shortcut still appears in the app drawer, you can just reboot the phone and it'll be gone.
For those whose phones are rooted and have Titanium Backup, you can use that to delete the file, too.
Hope it helps.

open drawer, put your finger on the superuser app and hold for a few sec. After drawer goes away, keep on holding it. You will see "App Info" at the top of your screen. Move the superuser there and menu will pop up. Clear cash and disable the app. Now it should be gone.
I hope i helped you

Rooted my Motorola Atrix 4G using PetesMotorolaRootTools v1.07 and found that it wasn't much use for me.
When I tried using the barclays mobile banking app, I got the error that my phone was rooted so I couldn't use it.
I tried to factory reset my phone to unroot it but still couldn't use the app.
I tried to unroot using the same PetesMotorolaRootTools v1.07 but same result.
I tried flashing an SBF of the original stock using RSDlite but again, same story.
I've typed in 'su' into the android terminal emulator and it was not found! And I've checked with the root checker basic app whether my phone is rooted and it says it isn't!
I've also tried uninstalled and re-instaling the app but still no good.
I have no idea what to do

Have you tried root checker from play store to see if you're phone is in fact rooted? I'm sure you can download su from market. If you're able to, try denying root access to that app.
