can anyone tell me how to get the root access back..
same thing happened to me....had to reflash whole rom.

Go to Recovery and use Fix Permissions, then it should work again

no fixing permissions did not worked. hav to flash the rom again as my data/wifi is also not working now (wifi gets connected but internet doesnt work)
all this happened due to this ****ty superuser update...
I fixed it yesterday, downloading the SuperOneClick 1.9.5 (NOT the lastest one) and Unrooting, then Rooting again (Choose GingerBreak as root method). Should work fine for you too. There will be two SuperUser apps, but just reboot and then will be only one.
Remember to NOT update SuperUser or at least don't update the binaries, because they have problems.
you can update binary but not the app....
Apparently, the maker of Superuser thinks he compiled the binary for ARMv7 (not on purpose)...
I saw there's a new binary now (3.0.2). I will try it out and see if it works now.
---
Confirmed! It's fine with the latest binary.
In case you haven't seen: http://androidsu.com/2011/10/i-updated-to-3-0-1-binary-and-lost-root-help/
---
After rooting updated the binary OK (giving root permission to the app itself). But after a factory reset, no app can get (or prompt for) root permission.
So, not working...
why you flash rom over again
if you flash this file through recovery you will get your root acces back
Same thing happened with me. I restored the nand
back up .
that helped me.

The guy (ChainsDD) explained on his webpage what's happening. Visit it both if you are simply curious or in need of a fix because you lost root access.
This bug hits me ! I have to restore my nand! Beware! don't know the latest app in the market is fixed, I'm afraid to update now my superuser app.
edit : i read the explanation there. Thanks chainsdd

i had that problem 2 and i uninstalled the last update and now everything is ok !
I had the same issue when I tried to update the binary to 3.0.1. I chose to flash an updated ROM, then update the app and binary, and everything is running fine now. App = 3.0.6; Binary = 3.0.3

Title says it all, boot loader is S-Off,CWM installed, Superuser installed via CWM, yet root access is denied got most apps. Well, every app except Wifi Tether which works. Superuser won't update due to no root access obviously. Any fixes for this?

Hi, I rooted my device with this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 and then unrooted. Now when I flash BB throught cwm it says it was installed but i dont have superuser and root access. How can i root my device again?
Thanks.
Try installing busybox and then Superuser or SuperSU apps from Google Play.
Once done, check root access with Root Checker (or similar) app.
Edit:
Or just flash one of compatible Chainfire CF-root kernel. You can also use his Triangle Away app to get rid of the warning triangle and flash counter.

Please make it clearer next time. You never mentioned you wanted to unroot again. Also you never mentioned you had tried cf-root.
To unroot, simply just flash stock firmware.
If Chainfire kernel doesn't root, you're obviously not following instructions properly. Suggest more reading.
You're welcome mate

But I want a simple root program like unlockroot, or that BusyBox guide - are you sure that there isn't a way to root with this guide again?
Not sure mate,
Sure if you flash the cf-root kernel. Will take longer to ensure correct one and download than flash.
Just follow the guide exactly and you can't go wrong.
If you really want to root previous way, maybe post in that thread for more better advice.
Sorry.

Should work, what did you do?
Using stock recovery open cwm.zip
Using cwm recovery flash busy box installer.
Reboot and you should be rooted again.

Did this lot of times (with stock rom and cwm recovery) and it still stays the same, without superuser. In addition, now when i try to install superuser from the Market I get error 941 - what does it mean? Maybe I have problem with flashing archives? There is a way to check if I still can flash files?
Thanks a lot!
Try clearing market data in phone settings/applications/...... & sign in again
Have you also tried SuperSU app instead of Superuser?

thanks, I clear the market data and now I'm able to install Superuser, but when I open the SuperUser there are no applications in the list. SuperSU says "there is no SU binary installes and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem", guess it mean I don't have root access? I think that downloading applications from market won't solve the problem, it should be installed when I flashing BusyBox. As I wrote before, maybe I got a problem with flashing files? (it's worked for the first root and unroot)
Try flash this through CWM. Superuser version and binary maybe a little old, but if works, you can easily update via Google Play.
After instal, your app list inside will of course be empty, should be prompted when a app requests SU access the first time.
when i try to install it it says: "e: error in /sdcard/download/SuperUser-3-10-1.0.7... (status 0)
installaion aborted.
what does it mean?
Not sure, would have to Google.
If I was in your shoes, and previous rooting method fails..... go with either;
A) Chainfire CF-root kernel and then use Triangle Away app to reset counter & remove warning triangle
B) Backup and save to PC. Full wipe and use Odin and flash stock firmware. Root again as per original method
Done

it's too complicated for me..
Think i would stay unrooted until there will be another simple root tool without changing the kernel :\
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
I found out that I have BusyBox 1.17.1 installed. I found it with the app "Root Check Pro". But I'm sure that I don't have a root access even thoght I have BusyBox installed. How can I remove it? "Root Check" says that the file is in "/system/xbin/busybox" and this information correct - I can see the file but can't remove it because I don't have root access. how can I uninstall it? or replace it?
* already tried install BusyBox & Superuser from the market, they don't do anything because I don't have root access :\
I attached pictures of BusyBox information and Root information. (from "Root Check")
Added some information... Still stuck without root but with busybox installed
So I did the HTC unlock after receiving my Asurion claim (1.19 Hboot) a couple months ago. I haven't messed around with it much because I've been busy irl. I installed TWRP, Fresh, and just recently the "deSensed ICS ~ Dialer, Tumblers & Apps! -Updated Mean4.4 & Goodies2.11!" theme. Now I've been thinking I'd really like to just flash CM10 now that it's starting to mature so I installed TB and it wasn't able to gain root access (tried a couple different SU apps). I checked several other apps and none were able to gain root (ES file explorer, Quick Boot, Root Explorer, etc). I originally thought that the issue was the fact I flashed Fresh over the stock rom after just wiping Cache but I just wiped everything (Cache, Dalvik, System, Factory Reset, in that order), flashed a newly downloaded Fresh rom, and downloaded TB and got the same "Root Access: Failed" error. I'm at a loss. I'm running Fresh, I have TWRP installed, but I have no root access. Any help would be appreciated.

try root checker basic from the playstore to confirm you are rooted but it doesn't make sense the you can have twrp and flash fresh without root
Sounds like your Su binaries may have got messed up. Try using only one Su and see if that works. You may need to flag Su in twrp

I had the SU that comes in Fresh installed and it wasn't working so last night I installed a different one from the market, that didn't work either, uninstalled. I tried updating binaries on one (couldn't find the option to do it on the other) and that worked fine but it failed to gain root.
Just now I fixed Permissions via TWRP, deleted the SU that comes with Fresh via TWRP, uninstalled and reinstalled the other SU with the same results.
Try going into su and check grant permissions automatically and make sure fastboot is unchecked.....see if that helps

I tried re-locking and doing the HTC unlock again. I restored my Fresh nandroid and I have the same results. I'll try re-locking and unlocking again when I get a chance and this time I'll see if SU works before restoring.

Hit it twice and make it count.
Unlocked does not give you root. It enables you to install a Rom with root access or install superuser. If you are unlocked and have installed a custom Rom with root support, you should already have superuser in the app drawer. Update whatever superuser app you have to the newest, and reboot.

I flashed the stock 4.1.2 and a new modem that I found on here to my phone. Ever since then whenever I open the su app it says that the su binary doesn't exist. Problem is I tried to flash the newest binary and it didn't do anything. I also tried to flash using Odin and it messed up the rom. I can't figure out how to get su working again. Can someone help me?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
I had similiar issues. It seems others have had the same issue too. If you have installed superuser by ChainsDD then go to the play store and install Superuser by ClockworkMod. Then remove the ChainsDD version. If you have the ClockworkMod version installed and not working then install the ChainsDD version. Worked for me.
Something finicky about this 4.1.2 ROM. Modems and Superuser don't install properly and have to be installed twice.
Edit....supersu by chainfire is actually the version i am using now.
Well op.... what exactly did you flash?
If you flashed stock...and not a prerooted package, you're not rooted. Which is why there's no su binary.
Also, how did you try to root with Odin? If you used an old gingerbread method of flashing a kernel...that would indeed mess up the Rom.

after a million try's I found out how to fix the problem some of the people here give bits of the real way to deal with the un able to start supersu... fist thing use odin to flash philz 15. whatever file that you seen in the thread ( after clean catch and davik and factory reset) then flash the new 4.3 custom rom onto your note 2. Reboot your phone !!!! wen setting up your phone DO NOT set up your google e-mail account when it asks you. Just "skip" everything. NOTE... after you setup the language install from scratch you can always link your google account after everything i tell you to do and phone gets the superSU premissons... okay onto the last step do not open supersu, go to google playstore type in supersu and update it then turn off your phone without opening supersu then boot if everything is back to normal by checking get root checker witch can be downloaded from the app store... btw it was funny how one person said they were afraid of bricking there phone LOL its impossible to brick your phone unless your as brainless as him.. the main problem with jellybean 4.3 and your google account is that it blocks any programs like supersu from before your even able to start your phone. by not sync'ing the google account with your phone it allows supersu to install without GOOGLE blocking it... btw make sure you wipe all catch and select the option clear to flash new rom in philz recovery... one good luck guys this fix took me about 200 trys and 12 hours but its yours now...

This has worked for me before. Just run the King user app, don't even try to re root it. The app should try to fix itself and *MAY* install your missing files.It has worked for me countless times. Hope it helps.
