Short version:
I rooted my SGSII with CF root. Everything seemed fine, but now any app that needs superuser permission says 'Superuser has stopped unexpectedly.' How can I fix it? Can I uninstall and reinstall Superuser?
Long version:
I loved the first galaxy. Then I moved to China. Really missing everything American, so I saved and bought an SGSII in China. Surprised to find no Android Market. Apparently Google and China don't like each other? My phone came with Superuser and Titanium Backup...I don't know what that means; I'm inexperienced at rooting. Used the wonderful instructions in the forums (genuinely appreciative; not sarcastic) to CF root my phone. Went smoothly; now I also have CWM app. But if I try to run CWM or Titanium Backup or anything else that requires Superuser permission, I get a vibrate then a double vibrate and a message that says 'superuser has stopped unexpectedly.' Superuser icon is still there; if I open it, it lists the one program I granted Superuser access to before rooting my phone (Market Enabler). Perhaps the problem is that a second Superuser was added over the first? How can I make Superuser work again? Sidenote, how can I install Android Market now?
I'm a new poster and can't post to development threads. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Thank you JJEgan for your reply! I have tried re-rooting it again, but I'm still having the same difficulty. If I try to open something that requires Superuser permission, I receive the message 'Superuser has stopped unexpectedly.' Also, when I open Superuser or try to search for an update, I get 'Checking available version failed.'
Can I fix this by removing superuser altogether, then flashing again to get the unbroken one back? If so, how can I remove Superuser? Can't seem to find an uninstall button....hahahahaha.
Again, thanks for any helpful ideas anyone has!
Needs to be removed from /system/app, which only a root user can do...
Perhaps you can go to settings, applications, manage apps, show all, clear for superuser, and this might stop it from crashing.
Again, Tonymy01, I greatly appreciate your reply! I have cleared the superuser data, but that didn't help. I also tried resetting to factory then rooting with cf again, but still I have no joy.
Would installing a new version of superuser over the old version solve my problem? Ugh.
A preemptive thanks for any suggestions anyone may have.

i dont know if this would help but try getting superuser from the market and see if that works?
Been over a month now, and I cannot fix my market links. I've tried numerous apps to to try to fix it but no go. I even tried titanium backup pro and that was a no go. I'm on android market 3.3.12. If anyone knows how to fix, please send me to the right direction. It's getting annoying to use appbrain to update because it doesn't always show all updates to all my apps. I will thank everyone that helps, I just want my apps to show up in my downloads in the market.

This link worked for me back a couple versions ago - just update the permissions - http://www.droid-life.com/2011/10/10/download-android-market-version-3-2-0/. Also, did you try clearing data and cache to see if that worked? If neither work, try a fresh install. Attached is the latest version.

Have you tried Wiping Market and the Market Updater Data in Titanium Backup? Try that...
Also Try Wiping Downloads, and HTC Checking!
Hi guys,
Quick run down.
No root, official rom, up to date.
However, market is stucked at version 2.14 or something. I understand that it should update itself to the latest version but with no luck, nothing happened after a long time.
Tried opening the market app, but force closes few seconds after. Tried going into manage applications, force closed it. However, the clear cache tab remained unavailable to click for god knows how long, so i cant clear cache.. Also tried web market to see if i can dl some apps but phone did not appear on the list.
Anything i can do to fix this?
Thanks a lot guys
Try and root it then fix permissions through recovery.

did you clear the markets Data? instead of the cache. this normaly fixes all the issues with the market FC's for me
it should ask you to accept hte EULA again when you launch it. then you know you did it right
Pvy.
I am losing root access and updating apps. This is the first time i have been having this problem. I think it has something to do the supersu update of app, but not sure. I backed up with root so not a big deal but dont know why this is happening. Do I need to unroot then root again or is there a know issue with this rom.
Try uninstalling the SU app completely and reinstalling it. Then, open the app and confirm the binaries are up to date. Next time, be sure to post questions in the Q&A category please.

Last time I flashed sense 5 I think all I did reinstall updated binaries and reboot. If you have any market issues (force closing being most common) delete and reinstall Google play services
I'm in need of some kinda urgent help and advice regarding a phone i have just purchased for my mother.
I've bought her a cheap Daxian TD888 on the MTK6589 chipset and i'm afraid i have been a silly boy and not done my research before purchasing - I was under the impression that it came with the Play Store installed etc and sadly, it comes with a hard to use chinese ROM.
Mothers being mothers, mine isn't anywhere near tech/phone friendly and this is her first smartphone (upgrade from a 6 year old Nokia/symbian brick) so i was wanting to get her onto a nice and simple stock android 4.1 or 4.2 or even a CMxx that i can just help her along with.
After some very panic based searching today, i'm not seeing much that can help me... infact... nothing regarding this phone at all.
So... have I been a dumbass and bought her a lemon or is there anyone that can help me out with advice or pointers on how to get a normal android ROM on this thing?
I'm not massively experienced with rooting but have managed it a couple fo times in the past on my old Nexus One.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I could probably help you get it rooted and that would allow you to install Play store on it as well as delete any chinese apps that sometimes come on the MT65XX devices if interested. As far as the rom goes, is there not an option in settings to change language to English? I have bought a few MediaTek devices directly from china, when I received the phone it had english on it already but when I reset the phones I would have to go into Settings and change chinese language back to english.
Motochopper should root your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252248
One thing with these phones is that the android version is not always what is shown in Settings > About phone. Try using this tool from the first post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490&styleid=18
make sure you enable USB debugging on your phone first and it will help tell which version of android you are really running. If kernel say 2.6.xx you are on GB 2.3, if it is 3.0.xx then you are on ICS and if it says 3.4.xx then you are JB. I bought a MT6575 that said android version 4.0 in settings, it said gingerbread 2.2 on the box (I know 2.2 is Froyo), then on bottom of box it said Froyo 2.2!
Thanks Klown80 -
I'm just into work now so I'll have to hook it up to my own PC and root when i get home later... i'm just in full on panic mode over this (its a time sensitive issue as she's due to be in hospital for an extended period and i want to get this right for her before then)
Regarding the language settings in the current/stock rom, it has english US selected and while a lot of the language is in english, pretty much ALL popup dialogs are in chinese and the browser is unusable (all chinese text based) so... hence the panic.
I was (foolishly) thinking it would just be a simple enough flash to CM or stock android and hey presto - full english ROM.
I hate it when i don't do my homework first.
So... you recommend the root first, check exact android version number and go from there?
Even if it turns out to be an older 2.1/2.2/whatever version, i'd be happy enough to get something stock and full english based on there if its possible.
As she's never had a smart phone, it will all seem super smooth and flashy to her anyway.
I have now rooted (i think..) however, the superuser app comes up with an error upon opening -
superuser binary (su) must be updated
and i now i'm kinda stuck.
I have downloaded and tired various versions of the play store and while the at first allow me to enter google accounts details, it always crashes after that.
Every time i open the play store app, it just closes again.
Any suggestions on where i might be going wrong?

Sounds like you need to update the binary then, if it allows you. If not then the root did not correctly root your device and we will have to go back a step and get that fixed first. As for Play Store, it usually takes more than just the Play.apk file to put Play Store on your device if it did not come with it stock. You also need (I am going off top of my head, I can give you exact names later) Google services framework.apk, Google login services.apk, Google Play services.apk. You need to have root to to this because you will need to move the vending.apk to /system folder and possibly change permissions on the apk before you install it. Once we can confirm root I can help you install a working Play Store if you like.

I've no idea how to update the binary so I guess i'm looking at a re-root.
I have had the usual issues of drivers not wanting to work (the Motochopper root process getting stuck at the daemon starting point) but I've manged to get the process to work twice so far.
(I've tried 4 different driver packages and they have all given the same results)
Could you possibly advise on how to update the binary file for superuser? I've just tried the root again and it skipped installing superuser as it was already found on the phone.. i haven't felt this noobllike in some time!

Sounds like the same prob with my.mtk device,
With motochopper i.get to update binary, but thats not possible.
You can try some of the roottools in my.acer811 thread.
I get many tipps from clown80.

Try uninstalliong Superuser or SuperSU and try again. Su binary should ask you if you want to update when you first open SuperSU, if you have Superuser, then you will need to open the app and go into settings to update binary.

It was aksing to try and update etc but its chashed every time - I was thinking that the root hadn't worked properly or something... anyway, I've uninstalled Superuser and reinstalled from a newer apk file (v3.2) i downloaded.
Its now running ok. Now that superuser is working... whats next?

Ok, is it just Superuser and not SuperSU correct? Can you go into settings in Superuser and towards the bottom there should be an option to update su binary. If it is SuperSU it will ask to update on its own when you open it. either way make sure it lets you update binary. Once binary is updated download and install any app that asks for root acces, so we can see if superuser request pops up.
Once we have confirmed root we can move onto installing Play Store. To do this you will need to be able to install a file explorer like ES file explorer so we can install the files we need for working Play Store.

In the superuser settings, there isn't anything apparent for trying to update the su binary.
the list reads as follows:
Security
Apps List
Log (on)
Notifications (on)
Backup apps/preferences
To anyone with this same device, this is method Scottmeister used to root his device. (Thanks Scott for being the tester! :good: )

HUGE thanks to Klown80 for the advice and patience!
For anyone else in a similar situation with an MTK6589 cheapo phone, and had issues with the Motochopper root method (the root getting stuck at 'daemon started successfully' etc etc.....
Klown80's chinese root tool works a treat. You will have a chinese superuser app that may be a little annoying (you might be able to swap it for SuperSU or something but I had issues doing that so i've kept the chinese one) but the root works perfectly and the instructions given by Klown80 in the linked thread are very easy to follow.
I still had some issues with getting google services installed so you may want to look for a play store installer workaround - I know there is a cheeky little chinese mod apk that can be used to get the play store working, but i can't post it here.
Should anyone come across this thread and know of a good, stock english rom that I might be able to use, please leave a comment!
