are you s-off or s-on?
If you are s-on thats the problem, if you want to delete system apks go into your clockwork recovery and mount system then use adb on your pc do delete the apks
if you need more info on that ask me

Ah thanks
Then even if I have su permission ,
if my legend is not s-off then I can't get full permission?

i only know that you absolutely delete your apps if your legend is s-off

Problems with superuser

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...

[Q] HELP!!!! Cant get back to stock or reroot!

I was successfully rooted and decided i wanted to go back to stock, so i unrooted. I never altered the ROM, just wanted root for the purpose of Hotspot. However, now that i went back to stock, superuser is still showing in my apps and will not delete no matter what methods i try. I did a factory reset and it did not help. I cannot even get my phone to Re-root or do any over the air updates. I am stuck. My phone works perfectly but i would like to update my software AND remove the superuser app. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!
same thing happened to me try fixing the root then delete superuser.apk in Root Explorer.
AW: [Q] HELP!!!! Cant get back to stock or reroot!

hsd-pilot, i uninstalled the updates. Went to sys/apps but it will not delete because it says file is read only.
If your using Root Explorer there should be a button top right where you can change the permissions for that folder unsetting the read only

it is rooted.... i can clean dalvic through cwm recovery but cant gain root permissions I think that part of the stock root manager or something like that is left on the system that denies root permission to other apps but don't know what to do, I have million settings and phone numbers and apps and other stuff that I don't want to lose but titanium backup is not working either..... If I wanted I could have flashed the same rom (it's still on the sd) and I think that would fix it but I don't want another flash if possible

Look man, superuser is ROOT. Either your phone is rooted or it is not. A rooted phone can run apps that require it like ClockworkMod ROM Manager, Titanium Backup, Greenify, Wireless Tether for Root Users, File managers like Root Explorer or ES File Manager if you want to be able to access the system areas of the phone. So far as I know, there is no "SuperUser of ClockworkMod". If your phone is rooted (You will see superuser or "Super SU" in your app drawer. Here is a free app from the playstore that will tell you if your phone is rooted or not.
Root Checker
Install it and use it to see if your phone is still rooted or if you lost root somehow. If you still have root, then when CWM starts, it will ask for root privileges and the first time it asks, you will be prompted to grant it, once, for a certain time period, or forever. For stuff like CWM, root file managers, and Titanium Backup, you always grant root forever and you will not be asked again until the app updates and requires you to okay granting root privileged or not, then you grand forever and leave it alone.
If you find out you do not have root or lost your root, then you have to root the phone and the procedure is different for different devices, versions, and ROMS. For that kind of help, you have to search for rooting <your particular device and android version number>

Thanks for answer, well I thinked that too, because my phone cant use root privileges if the aplication superuser isnt installed, however with te superuser aplication my phone have root privileges but with the previous version, with actual version my phond dont have root, even the people in google play say the same "with the new version my phone losed root" and similars comments...
maybe the root version (clockWorkMod) work in this way and need the app for work.

[Q] Superuser Problems Help!

Hey, Ok so i updated my Huawei u8650 to android 4.4.2 and something went wrong with my root. I can open superuser and it shows my binary and all that and it says im rooted but when i go to a app that requires root access like terminal emulator for example and i type in the command su. nothing happens it just goes to the next line. and i tried to mount my SD card partition in link2sd and it said that the script cant be created because its not allowed to su.
I thought it could be that superuser just wasn't allowing permissions but i open superuser and there's no apps, no logs or anything. I checked my settings and they're all fine and i even tried to use SuperSU instead and i still got the same thing. There's no prompt to allow access either. I don't know if the apps are just not trying to get root access or what? No app can get root permission and i need to get this fixed so i can fix some bugs on the rom. Please Help.
Thanks to all who attempt or do help. Ill be sure to hit thanks for u.

i rooted by SRSroot first then first got the error then i unrooted and re-rooted by using the kingo root method but still received the same error. they are both windows programs u can run for root on multiple devices. They use USB debugging to root then device reboots and bam your rooted.
i used those methods because i tried to just flash the binary files through cwm recovery and it never actually installed into system. The two methods above installed binary and rooted my device but i cant give root access to any apps including superuser or supersu.
If anyone can help me with this it would be appreciated because i hit a wall and don't know what to do. No apps can get root permissions and i cant fix my play store, WiFi, speakers or theme chooser until the root is properly working because the methods to fix those bugs need root to function. so please if anyone has knowledge or any idea why i have root but cant get access please help me out.

If there is a custom recovery available for your device I would recommend flashing that and then flashing the latest SuperSU.zip package in recovery. Part of the problem is the orginal Superuser (by ChainsDD) while excellent at the time is now extremely outdated and no longer really be maintained, as a result make sure you flash a Superuser package compatible with Android 4.4.2 such as the latest version of SuperSU.
