SGS3 re-rooting problem - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I've rooted my SGS3 via ODIN with CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3. Everything went good and I had root in seconds. One thing I've noticed that this method is installing SuperSU app instead of SuperUser (which I was using on Motorola Defy). It didn't make any difference for me, however after some time I discovered that not all applications works with SuperSU. For instance xMissedCallPatch for exDialer don't even ask for admin permissions. Permission access window from SuperSU just don't POP UP so I can't give that app a root permissions. There was some more examples but can't remeber which one. TitaniumBackup and few other works good.
And here comes the problem:
I wanted to change from SuperSU to SuperUser, so I've installed SuperUser from market, however that does not make him as default app to handle root requests. So... I went to SuperSU settings and clicked "Switch Superuser application". That deleted SuperSU as default app to handle root, but again it didn't make SuperUser as default also. So, none of SuperSU or SuperUser were default apps to handle root
So, trying to make this out, I've uninstalled SuperUser and made ODIN again with CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3. All procedure went as expected but SuperSU still isn't default app to handle root. Now when I'm launching TitaniumBackup (for instance) it just says that it can't work because it has no root rights. As previously no Permission access window from SuperSU.
Do you have any ideas?

OK, my fault.
I've accidentaly used CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3 instead of v6.4. After ODIN with v6.4 everything works great. Even apps which hadn't popups from SuperSU previously now work. For example xMissedCallPath for exDialer now works somehow.
Sorry to bother you all, topic to close.

[Q] Titanium not working since SU update...

since upgrading superuser to 3.0, I can no longer access Titanium Pro
It says it has root permissions in superuser, but Titanium Backup says it cannot acquire root priveleges.
I ununstalled and reinstalled both programs, then TB would hang at the asking for root permissions screen first time. Next time I go in, it gives me the error about no priveleges. If I click switch Profile, I get asked to give it su permissions, which I click allow and tell it to remember, but it still gives me the same error. After a phone reboot, it goes back to sticking on the 'asking for root access' screen.
I used Rootchecker to check my access, it tells me Busybox is installed correctly and that I have root access. Juice Defender continues to work fine as well in the areas requiring root access, as do the adblock programs
I have no idea at all what to do! Please help…

Try this...
I just checked mine and everything works fine. I would try deleting Titanium and then re-install it and see if that helps, or try going into SU and erase Titanium's permissions and then try to run it again so it has to ask for superuser access again.
Hope that helps
Solved
just sorted it... Seems it was an app called application protect, didn't like the update. Disabled it and all good now. I had it set to ask for pattern logo password on su access... Worked before, not after...

[Q] Installing another super user app? [SOLVED]

Hi guys! A friend brought me a S4 clon (4.2.2, MTK6589 based) few days ago, to root it. I've used VRoot and all went fine (root works good, even we've deleted some junk apps), but the app to manage the root permissions is a chinese one (check the attachment, please). Anyone knows if it's possible to install another app (like superSU or super user)? :silly:
At this point, I've tried this:
Delete the chinese app, and install superSU or super user. Result: Unable to update the binaries, so no root anymore.
Install superSU, update the binaries and delete the chinese app. Result: the binaries are installed without errors before delete the chinese app, but after that every time I open superSU it says that the binaries aren't installed (and it's unable to install them again).
Install super user, update the binaries and try to delete the chinese app. Result: unable to update the binaries, in some point always throw an error (sometimes trying to copy the binary to its place, sometimes trying to check if it's working...).
Any ideas?
A little bump...
After some try-error tests, I've found a way to do it, if anyone are interested:
Install superSU
Open it, and update the binaries.
Use any root explorer, and delete the old root manager (could be located at /system/app or /data/app)
Reboot
Done

Is Superuser Working????

After a complex process to repair my bricked S3 (4.4.2), I rooted the phone with Towelroot (confirmed its rooted) and installed Superuser from the Play store.
I was of the understanding that when Superuser is installed from the Play Store that the binary upgrade is not necessary. However, I have seen no indication that Superuser is working. I explored the system/bin and system/app files with ESExplorer and I got no request from Superuser to allow root access. (there are not Superuser files either location)
I also explored the files with TitaniumBackup Pro and again not peep out of Superuser.
I went ahead and tried the binary update and it fails.
I thought I'd ask for help here before I uninstall Superuser and install SuperSU (I noticed Superuser has been updated since July 2012). At this point I believe uninstalling Superuser would be successful because it is a Play Store install.
Any help/recommendations would be appreciated. As you can tell I'm a novice at this.
NOTE: Just noticed that there are not entries in the Superuser log.
Try rooting with cf-root

Thank you for the recommendation, however, I just went ahead and uninstalled Superuser and installed SuperSU. SuperSU appears to work and is managing root access as it should.
I probably would not have gone the uninstall method with Superuser, however, I installed it from the Play Store and the Play Store installation is reportedly easy to uninstall because it does not put files in system/app or system/bin......at least I read that somewhere and I checked these locations and there were no Superuser files there.
Thanks again.
Superuser is located on /system/app
su is on /system/xbin

[Q] CleanMaster Root Access Failed

I have already given root access to the app Clean Master. Under the 'Autostart Manager' page, I tried to remove apps that autostart by itself. However, the app pop out a message indicating 'Failed to Grant Root' and reminded me to grant root access.
I went back to the superuser app, it was indicated that root access has been granted.
Any way to solve this problem?
I have been having this same issue on rooted stock gs4. It's temperamental when it comes to root I've noticed. One day I was able to turn it app off of auto start and when I installed a new app it wouldn't let me do it and su says I'm granted
I'm experiencing the same issues. Auto Start Manager is the only feature that has this issue.

I always face this issue also, what I do as a temporary fix is, go to the SuperSU app, then "Forget" Clean Master, open Clean Master and try to disable an app from Auto starting, grant root and the app will be disabled I hope it works for you too
I am glad I am not the only one having this issue. I recently updated an app via the play store and clean master told me it was auto starting. I tried to block it, but it keeps telling me root access failed and to grant it. Well I've granted it root 18 times now and it still says root failed. I have tried everything to get it to work...clear logs, tell superSU to forget clean master, give it global default, etc. Nothing seems to work and it's pissing me off.
Unfortunately this does not work for me.
I have granted root access according to SuperSU Pro however when trying to stop autostarting apps in Clean Master it reminds me to allow access.
I even get a popup massage from SU stating that the app got granted root access.
Whats happening here? Does anyone have a work around?
Deleting Cleanmaster in SuperSU doesnt help. It is always the same unfortunately.
Best Regards
J
I too also have problems with the autostart function in Clean Master on my Optimus Zone II
First of all, if you've root then you shouldn't use clean master. That's so naive.
About the permissions. Even after root your system partition stays in read only mode. I'm guessing this okay. You should check that out first.

Ok, (I know Im gunna reget this), but why?, in your option, should Clean Master NOT be used, since it need so many "root" functions in order to work? Ive used it for years. Rooted or no, (mostly rooted), and why do all the "autostart" apks, (ROM Toolbox, Autostarts, Autostart Manager,etc) work just fine. I've tryied it with r-w on system on, sooooo....next...?

I can't argue over this. Best options for you 1. Root Cleaner (high priority) 2. SD Maid Pro (medium priority)
See the difference yourself.
fix?
Has anyone figured out what the issue is here? It worked just fine on cm12 but stock Lilli nope. Root issues for sure it must have something to do with system partition. Has anyone fixed this issue?

Just go thru my above post..it will definitely work..so give it a try... flashing new supersu 2.49 resolved the problem for me.?
Yep its working again. I tried 2.48 cuz somebody said it worked for them, but i had no luck there. 2.49 did the trick, thx for letting us know in the thread.

I just rooted my s6 edge and was having the same issue with 2.46. Luckily when I updated to 2.49, I was unable to block the autostartup apps.

[HELP]Apps Are Granting Root Permission Without Superuser App!!!!!!!!

Hi! Guys i am facing a awkward problem
My Device-Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830I aka Cooperve
ROM-ACEJB 2.0 BY BRIJESHP(Stock Based Custom Rom 2.3.6 GINGERBREAD XXLA1)
Kernel-Thunder Kernel 2.6.35.7(Custom Kernel already rooted with busybox)
I have SuperSu v.2.4.7 By Chainfire to manage my root access!
But the app crashes several times so i decided to use another superuser app!
I saw there is an option in supersu called "Switch to another superuser app"
I clicked on it after it is done! I rebooted and installed Superuser by chainsDD
and uninstalled supersu.
I opened root validator to check everything is ok or not.
It said everything is ok!
But suddenly strucks on my mind there is no prompt opened for granting superuser permission(ALLOW\DENY)then how could the app gets root permission!
I opened apps like nofrills cpu control,rom toolbox,link2sd,swapper for root and some other root apps they are working fine but there is no prompt to allow or deny showing up!
I opened superuser by chainsdd it said su binary found and showing its location in green colour!
But in apps sections no app is showing there and logs are also empty.
wHICH strucks me most!
I uninstalled superuser by chainsdd.Now i have no supersuser app but still root apps are working and getting root permission
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
PLEASE HELP ME!
If i will not fix this my device will became vulnerable to threats!
(sorry for my english)
