Hello,
I'm using Xperia Neo (2011) and after flashing to Xperia Pureness from original Sony firmware, i found out that it isn't rooted (cause it says pre-rooted in the original post).
Why would I say this is because i cannot uninstall stock apps and the battery calibrator telling me that my phone isn't rooted. SuperSU failed to update as well.
Hope i can get some help here, thank you!

You are rooted.
1. Use titanium backup to remove unwanted apps.
2. Battery calibration is saying you are not rooted because you have not updated the binary in supersu
3. To update super su follow these steps
a) Download superuser from play store
b) Open it and press home key when you see the splash screen
c) open super SU
d) Grant root rights when prompted
e) update super su binary
f) Uninstall superuser
The last point is important as you can run both apps.
All the above can be found in the pureness rom thread!

i want to switch from super user to super su. Just because i think it looks better with ics. So what i did was download super user from play store, and open it. I granted it access and let it update its binary. Now super su grants all my apps access. So the next logical step i thought would be to uninstall the regular super user. but i cant find it in titanium backup? (i search for superuser, super, user and neither super su nor superuser come up)
Also once i manage to get the regular superuser removed i would have to move the super su to system apps via titanium right?
You ever come right with this bud? Also can't remove superuser app from foxhound Rom. Deleted it from system/app using root explorer but it comes back after reboot.

1. Install SuperSu from Play and update binaries. Make sure it achieves root.
2. Delete Superuser.apk from system/app using a root file manager.
3. Install Superuser from Play.
4. Uninstall Superuser thru Play.
5. Reboot phone.
No more Superuser and SuperSU should retain root functionality.
cheers mate. Updated to the latest foxhound and superuser went away. Having this issue on a buddies phone so will try your method this weekend and give feedback.
Appreciate the response.

Hello Professionals,
I have a question please. I rooted my phone using Rachmat3's guide [GUIDE] ROOT/UNROOT Stock ICS Firmware without flashing unsecure kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
I rooted it successfully but sometimes whenever i play some games (Asphalt 6 Adrenaline an example), this notification "shell has been granted super user permission" appears continuously for around 5 mins and when i check the superuser log, it allowed "shell" for more than a hundred times and i couldnt still open the game.
Here is my phone information.
Model number : GT-I9100
Android version : 4.0.3
Baseband version I9100XXLPX
Kernel version : [email protected] #3
What could be the reason of this? Any advice? Thank you.

it seems.... probably asphalt is infected with virus...
No, it's not a virus
It's an issue with SuperUser (specifics/details if you want to get technical can be found here somewhere if you do an XDA search). The easiest method to fix the issue without stuffing around is to install SuperSu from Google Play, update the binary on that app, then uninstall SuperUser & reboot.
That should solve the problem.
P.S - You could have found this solution by searching, this has been covered here more times than I've had hot dinners.
P.P.S - If the problem persists once you've done that (unlikely but possible), contact the developers of the apps in question. Clearly those apps are asking for root over & over (looping) when they shouldn't be.

Ok, i will try but i want to ask some more question for clarification.
1. I will install SuperSU as normal apk file?after that..
2. how do i remove my current superuser? i installed it using update from internal sd using recovery mode.
Thanks..
1. Go to Google Play (on your phone obviously; unless you want to do it from your PC & push it to your phone, which is a pain in the arse), search for SuperSu (free version) & install it like you would any other app from Google Play Re-read what I said to do after you install it, I'm not repeating it.
2. Settings/Apps/All - Uninstall SuperUser. Reboot.

I installed SuperSU from google play and updated binary files. Can't I just disable SuperUser and not uninstall it? Im afraid i cant unroot my phone using the method from Rachmat3's if i removed the superuser?
Thanks.

You can download Rom toolbox from the market and use it to uninstall SuperUser. now your root access will be from SuperSU.
Hi,
Please help, I did rsd, flashed retail.en.EU, then did OTA from SD. Everything works great, but I lost my root. (Voodoo keeper didnt worked somehow). Voodoo shows that: su installed - YES, device rooted - YES, root permission granted - NO, system supports root protection - YES, protected SU copy available - NO. Only button I can hit in voodoo is "protect root" and then it tells "root su protected". But the thing is that Superuser does not allow (not even asks) any superuser permission to no apps. And every other root checker apps states that device isnt rooted. So I want to ask You guys:
Is there some way to restore the root I had? And if no:
How to delete/uninstall/remove Superuser from my system. Because SU was installed during the root process, and there is no option to uninstall it. Just disable, uninstall updates.
BIG THANKS!

At the main tab the superusers app, tap on the application, on the bottom , tap on the trash button, it will forget the superusers access you have granted
Lastly, try to open the app

Hi, there is no apps in the superuser app. Or I got something wrong?

Boot Menu Manager, you need root to install that recovery
So you must wait for the developers to make a root program so you can root your phone

After installing SlimROM 4.3 Build 2, I lost root?
I was originally rooted on the stock 2.1 and had the SuperUser app as well. However, after upgrading, Root Checker says I'm not rooted anymore?
try opening up SU if its not installed and update the binaries if that doesnt work flash the SU zip if your still having errors try going into your settings and grant SU rights to whats needed

I tried installing superUser from this:

Then I tried to install this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu
and it installed but when I open the app, it says:
- I have to update the binaries but updating them fails
- I have to uninstall superUser, but I can't do that anymore because I flashed zip?
Try dirty flashing the rom flash again and wipe dalvik and cache a d reboot then open rom manager and click fix permission from within the app. If that doesn't work download busy box installer that should update your binaries it's weird issue your having
EDIT: i found this for you didn't realize earlier that 4.3 SU is different than before Root access works in another way in 4.3 then it was before. It is disabled by default. If you want to have root access go into your Superuser application or in Settings->Developer options and enable it. Please note as well that currently some third party kernels are around which may break root.

In slim rom go to
System settings-> advanced options -> Super User ->top right key for settings
then change super user access for your APPS
and choose declared permission

This worked like a charm. Thank you.
Just in case, if anyone makes these changes to their Super User settings, and Super SU bypasses and deny's access automatically, just go back to the settings again and Long Press whatever was denied and "Allow" it.
Another tip, I personally just went ahead and clicked on Auto-Allow so I don't have to go back to the settings so much.

Flashback the Cm12 zip.
CM12 Su binary is outdated and not work in some of Root apps E.G Foldermount, etc so it requires SuperSu.. If u want this type apps work flash The SuperSu Zip. You can download from chainfire SuperSu xda thread..
