[Q] SuperSU relys on Superuser... why? - Motorola Droid RAZR

I should have replied to the SuperSU thread but since I have less than 10 posts...
I was doing a fresh flash/install. The first thing to do of course is to root the phone.
Installed SuperSU 0.94, open it up, says that I need to update the binary, clicked OK, Installation Failed, tried that several times via 3G/Wifi.
Tested under Better Terminal, typed su: not found.
Then I installed Superuser 3.1.3, run SuperSU again and the binary update worked.
Tested under Better Terminal, typed su: # it worked.
Uninstalled Superuser and tested under Better Terminal
SU gone again.
The binary update failure happened before when version<0.7.3.
So why is this? Why do I need to install Superuser to get SuperSU to work?

It depends on what su binary is installed when you root your phone or what app the author of the ROM prefers. You can download the supersu zip package and install it after you install a ROM but even then you'll have to update binary via launching the app itself.

Because every app that uses Superuser permissions needs a a management app to get access to su.

Oh, by Supuruser I'm talking about Superuser - the old app, not the superuser permission.

Yep, you're right, I was just stupid not paying attention to the bat root script. I removed the old Superuser.apk from the scirpt but not the binary.
When I replaced the su with SuperSU binary, no errors anymore. Thanks.

SU is in the app list, as in the App Drawer? You mean SuperUser if that's what you're talking about. SuperUser is the GUI interface to the actual su binary.
The su binary (which should be located in /system/bin on the phone) is the actual file that grants root access rights. Can you confirm that that file has actually been installed and what its permissions are?
Will the SuperUser app let you download/update su? Also, you should be able to install it from CWM under the extras menu if I recall correctly.
My phone's not handy to confirm above, I'm doing by memory, which isn't so great these days, but hopefully this will give you some ideas of what's wrong.

i cant atm i dont have his phone. SU (superuser) is in the list, and it told me it was up-to-date when i tried updating it.
CWM? thats new to me atm
root checker sees busybox, but reports not rooted.

how do i use super su instead of superuser???

is there any way to use the new super su instead of superuser?? how do i get rid of the superuser app?? thanks!
Install SuperSU from the market, then run it a popup will come up asking to update binary say yes.
Then use a file manager to go to /system/app and delete SuperUser.apk
After that the system will use supersu for everything asking you to grant permission just like superuser.

Simply , you should have went to the official xda thread of super su by chain fire and should have flashed the zip. The zips removes the super user and replace it with super su

Here is how I replaced SuperUser with SuperSU. It is really easy to do!
Just follow the steps and you'll be up and running with SuperSU in a couple of minutes!
If you do not have "Root Explorer", any file manager with Root access will work.
Just make sure that it has Write access to the System partition. Even when in
Root Explorer, I think you have to turn this feature on. Not sure. Just check.
1) Use Root Explorer and delete SuperUser.Apk from the /system/app folder.
2) Go to the Android Market and download and install Super User.
3) Use Root Explorer again and delete SU from /system/bin.
4) Go to the Market and uninstall Super User.
5) Go to the Market and install SuperSU & Pro Key.

Wrong! Now you cannot grant root access to any app since you don't have the binary.
If you do the 3rd step you will lose root and you will have to root your phone again from recovery.
The correct step should be to just download supersu from play store and update the binary then remove the old superuser apk as smokin1337 said. Your steps are lengthy and will never work.
Or just flash the zip file.

First off, I don't understand the hostility.
Secondly, I'm not the one who's wrong. You are, sir. And I find it pretty arrogant for someone to be so rude and make such a statement to someone as if iwhat they're saying is a fact, when the person they're commenting to just finished stating that they had already done it. Don't ya think?
Or did you not read the part where I said, "This is how I DID IT."???
In fact, I had just finished performing these same steps on my "Samsung Galaxy Note 2" and my "Samsung Galaxy Galaxy Tablet", not an hour before I posted them here and guuess what? I have Root access on both and no recovery was necessary!
Now you can continue making the same claim if you wish. Or you can acknowledge that "I did it successfully" outranks you saying "it won't work".
The steps I posted above work just fine. You don't have to worry about losing Root access when you boot your device, because you never reboot your phone before SuperSU is on it and you have the binary installed again. I mean, what do you think SuperSU puts on your phone? Could it be a binary, hello??? <lol>
Of course, the one thing to note is whether you have it installed in /bin or /xbin. If you don't find "su" in /bin then you now know where to look.

Oh ok I did not want to sound rude sorry.
I was under the impression that deleting su binary will not allow the supersu to install its su binary, but yeah if you have mounted the system rw then supersu should be able to install the binary. And your method should work without doing the 2nd and 4th step I guess. If you have more devices then maybe give it a try without doing 2nd and 4th step.

No problem.
As for mounting it read/write, yes, that does need to be done. I should have included that. Thanks for noting it.
There is a utility that will mount your system partition as writable when you boot it up. It's called "mount r/w" or something like that. It's in the Google Play Market. I think it has an icon of a yellow folder with a lock, or something like that. Most people recommend against doing that and if you don't want to do it that way, as I'm sure you know, root explorer can mount it writable until you tell it not to, or reboot..

[Q] Lost root, can't restore it

I installed the leaked ICS update, but I have apparently lost root. I tried using Voodoo, but it just says that it has been denied Superuser permissions and that there is no root backup available.
So I tried just plain rooting it using the Motofail method again, to no avail. It says that it is successful in completing the exploit.
However, no matter what app that requires root that I open, it says that the app has been denied Superuser permissions without even prompting me. Root checker says I am not rooted.
I went into the Superuser app, and I went to update the SU Binary. It says that Superuser has been granted Superuser permissions. But then it fails out at the end and says "This updater cannot update the su binary on phones that have some kind of write protection like S-ON. You can continue to use Superuser with your outdated binary, or update su with ROM manager."
I shouldn't even need to update the binary though, since it says I have the latest one installed.
What can/should I do? It's getting kind of annoying not having root on my phone.
Something along the same line happened to me too bro,I also made a thread about it but to no avail:-/ if you find something out,let me know and I'll do the same.

So if you dont have root access, will the terminal move the unzipped su file? How can you apply this to your sysytem? Voodoo doesnt give you options to search for the file either. Of course, nothing has superuser permissions without root either. I guess Im too much of a n00b.
Same here
Na dude its not noobish,im tryna figure out everything myself,I've been flashing since the hd2,so i know a couple things but this is just mind boggeling lol
I'm at a loss. I've downloaded your su-backup file, but I don't know how to move it to the /system folder, as it is write protected, and I don't have root to bypass that. And whenever I tried typing things in using the terminal, it just denied everything.

You can't move this file to system folder because you have a non-rooted device. Be patient, we are working hard on that....

No SU binary installed?

My phone was working fine until this morning when I tried to start wifitether and got the message "no SU binary installed" Does this mean I lost root somehow and have to root it again?

Its possible that you removed root permissions solely for wifitether by accident. Uninstall and reinstall then when it fires up make sure you select allow when superuser popup comes on. If you know your way around you can avoid the uninstall by simply going into superuser app and fixing permissions for wifi tether. If not then you'll need to boot into recovery and reflash supersu as you did during the original root process.
hope this helps!
When I open superSU it tells me there is no SU binary and SuperSU cannot install it.

Ok thats your first problem. you should NOT be using SuperSU app, its not compatible with the SU binaries we have installed on this phone. Until further notice this app is NOT compatible and wont be supported. Do to the binaries we used during the root process you must use the "superuser" app from the market. Some people have hacked in different binaries but unless it is specified that SuperSU is compatible then always is superuser.:angel:

Also if you have difficulties removing it then you may have to use tibu to freeze then uninstall SuperSU. If that doesnt work your only option will be ADB, it may just uninstall fine it may not it depends. But you need to get rid of it.

Given the phone is S-On the only real way to ensure a permanent, functional root on stock would be to first remove the SuperSU binary and app. It has been confirmed that SuperSU does not work.
This can be done directly from TWRP's file manager or ADB with the unsecured kernel:
The binary can be found at: /system/xbin/su
And the app can be found at: /system/app/superuser.apk
BOTH FILES must be removed. Freezing SuperSU will not work
Next download and then flash the following zip in TWRP or CWM:
Superuser Binary+App
At this point you should have fully functional root on stock

Again, simply flashing Superuser over SuperSU will not work, the app and binary must be removed before flashing.

You need the binaries and the app to get root perm on anything from within the rom. I don't recommend this.

I overlooked the zip portion of your comment. I thought that you were saying to simply remove the app and the binary and reboot. However the binaries wont load from SuperSU in the first place so you should eb good to just get rid of SuperSU and install superuser. If everyone has been following the recommended rooting steps that is. But if that were the case noone would be installing SuperSU

I know this is an old thread but if it helps others, I had the same issue with TWRP, there is an option in SuperSu to unistall and switch to a another superuser app. Put the superuser zip above on the phones memory card, then just install regular superuser from the market. Now go into SuperSu and pick the option to switch to another app, once done go into file explorer and delete the files stated above if they are there. Now reboot into recovery & flash the new superuser zip..
That's very helpful information. Somehow I solved it back in December but I don' know how!

[Q] How to manually reroot after problem with SuperSU?

I succesfully updated my Samsung Galaxy S3 from Android 4.2.2. to 4.3 after rooting my Phone.
However, SuperSU doesn't work anymore, giving the message "If you upgraded to Android 4.3 you need to manually re-root".
I cannot find an answer in the forums here on XDA developmers.
Can anyone help me?

I already tried that on my own. Didn't work. SU still tells me that I need to update the SU binary. Manual re root. And I AM rooted! I even wiped EVERYTHING and started over. no go. So, I'm guessing that I need to manual re root. I'll search for that binary where ever that is Oh, I went to the latest SlimBean build #2 for 4.3.1 after CM 10.1.3 and CM 10.2 refused to install on my d2usc. Now CM's Rom Manager won't work, SU doesn't work, anything that needs root access no work mahn! On the good side, everything else works fantastic, except PIE control. But I bet that has something to do with root access, so no great surprise there. I am enjoying every minute of these problems!

I had similar problem. Here is what I did -
1. Download CF-Auto-Root-d2att-d2uc-samsungsghi747 from autoroot.chainfire.eu.
2. Unzip
3. Use ODIN in the package to root.
4. Install ROM Manager.
5. Install SuperSU(Chainfire) from Play Store.
6. Open SuperSU and update SU binary. I saw a message to disable KNOX. I did it:highfive:
7. Install CWM Touch.
Then I installed other apps that need SU - Triangle Away, Titanium Backup. These apps worked fine for me. I went ahead and froze bloatware.

if you have supersu or super user already than just download update-supersu from http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip and flash it through the recovery mode( custom recovery preferred).
xprivacy / reboot to recovery
In my case I was getting false alerts as xprivacy has blocked system access. (eg was with AdAway) Cleared those apps in XPrivacy and all worked find then.
Also you can try to go into recovery and the try to reboot. You may get message to reinstate/fix SU.

Another factory reset and flash did it. I don't know how. But it is fixed now.

1. Download CF-Auto-Root-d2att-d2uc-samsungsghi747 from autoroot.chainfire.eu.
2. Unzip
3. Use ODIN in the package to root.
4. Install ROM Manager.
5. Install SuperSU(Chainfire) from Play Store.
6. Open SuperSU and update SU binary. I saw a message to disable KNOX. I did it:highfive:
7. Install CWM Touch.
Then I installed other apps that need SU - Triangle Away, Titanium Backup. These apps worked fine for me. I went ahead and froze bloatware.

I know this is an old problem and has been answered many times, i have read all thepossible ways to fix it and i have tried, over and over but I'm missing something.
Please help.
I rooted with Supersu, it worked for 2days then stopped. Now all the root apps can't work and i have tried everything to make it work, to no avail. Here is a copy of my Root hecker:
Root access not properly configured or granted.
Superuser Application Status
Installed: SuperSU by Chainfire - version 2.46
System Files Status
Standard Location
Command: ls -l /system/xbin/su:
Result: -rwxr-xr-x root root 66916 2015-04-17 00:03 su
Analysis: Root access IS correctly configured for this file! Executing this file can grant root access! Root user ownership is present and setuid attribute is not present.
Standard Location

User Account Status

Non-Root Shell User
Setting stored in /default.prop and configured as: ro.secure=1
Additional: System Environment PATH Status
System Environment PATH: /sbin /vendor/bin /system/sbin /system/bin /system/xbin
_----------------------
So my device is rooted, but i don't have permission. Tried to copy .su file from xbin to bin, not possible.
Uninstalled reinstalled, unrooted rerooted, reinstalled SuperSu from playstore.
Made sure no double superuser programs running.
Got rid of Knox.
Tried to custom install Supersu update, says invalid certificate.
I believe if i can copy the .su file in \xbin to \bin the permissions wil be there. Bought Rootbrowser but error when copying. Or give permission on file SetUID.
Can't run Bootbox cause didn't install before root stopped working. Also Titanium backup stopped working now.
Any ideas how to fix? Don't want to factory reset. Can't be to difficult to fix.
PS. If this post is i wrong place please advise where itshould be.
Thanks
S :good:
