[Q] Switch from superuser to supersu - HTC Droid DNA

Is there anybody using supersu instead of superuser? What is the best way to switch between the two?

Just download supersu from play store install binary when it says to update then delete superuser from system app. That's what I did.

yes, Update SuperSU then delete Superuser

did you update it through the normal way or did you choose to do it through recovery?

nooooo. Install superuser from the market then select switch superuser app under super su settings. Then go into superuser and select update binary. Enjoy
Search on Store Titanium Backup and delete SuperSU then searching Superuser but why you make that?

The switch in the super su does it in a more clean way.

[Q] Koush's Superuser App

Hey guys,
So I wanted to try out Koush's new Superuser app and I flashed the zip that was in the description in the Play Store, but now how do I get rid of ChainFire's SuperSU? I am on the latest (1.5) CarbonRom.
Use a root explorer and go to /system/app and delete it

Yeah its not there. The superuser.apk you see there is the new one. SuperSU by Chainfire is definitely still on my device. Any chance that it is in a difference place since I am running an AOSP rom?
The zip you flashed is suppose to delete Chanfire's supersu for you

When I click on it, it opens and a popup comes up and says "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue ?" I didn't really want to do that so I went into Titanium and looked to uninstall and it wasn't in the app list.
So then I went back to the superSU, and I hit continue and SuperSU reinstalled (not sure if it technically 'reinstalled,' but thats just the best way I know how to describe it). So then I when into the settings and hit 'Clean up for another superuser app' or something like that. So then it did it's thing, but the app icon was still in my drawer. I clicked on it again and a little message came up that said "app is not installed" so then I restarted my phone hoping that the icon would disappear and it did!
Problem solved.

[Q] how to change superuser app

hey guys can any1 tell me how do i change my superSU app with other 1... like superuser and remove the previous 1?
the reason i want to change is coz i cant access few apps like "root explorer" and "ad away" coz when open them they say "Either su binary could not be found or you did not allow the root permission for adaway" but i have already granted the permissions... this is happening in these 2 apps so far while other apps like greenify and other are working fine.
the thing is that there no option either to update the SU binary in superSU app which is installed in my custom rom "SUPER JB"
here is the link of the app which am using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu
and am attaching a screenshot also of the error i get.
plz help me out... thanks in adv.
I'd check your root, sounds like you might have broken it.
EDIT: You already have a thread so there was no need to start a new one.

Root is fine coz every other app is working fine.. Like greenify, root app delete, my backup root, quick reboot... So root is fine..
And I started a new thread coz no1 was replying in that thread, probably ppl see 9 replys frm out side n think it might b solved.

Did you try to reinstall? The option is down in settings.
After re-boot and re-install it will ask to update binary.

Just tried.. After re-install it asked to update su binary n have 2 options... Normal or TWPR/CWM
I selected normal butt still same error...
Can I just press re-install n when after restart can I install other app called superuser? Will it be okay or will it mess up the Rom?

Okay I changed the app but its still giving the same error..
I think I found out why its happening in these 2 apps... Coz I installed them manually frm file explorer using their Apk file n not from play store... But I still dont understand tht
Y is it happening.. I mean bfre also they used to work... Maybe is it the new custom Rom I flashed.. superJB?
But bfre this also I had custom Rom called powerJB..
Is therr anymore solutions?

Search for Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed
Go to SuperSu ( I assume you have it as the default super user app) .
Now install clockwork mods superuser app.
Then go to SuperSu, then click settings tabs, scroll down, find 'change superuser app' , click it, a pop up will come, read that and click okay.
Now SuperSu will uninstall.
then go to Superuser app.
it will prompt you to update binary.
click install.
installation success dialog will come.
now superuser will be the default app!

[GUIDE]Superuser update on custom ROMS

This thread is for users facing difficulties on updating the Superuser app, while running a custom or stock ROM
Most times you might be facing problems like "Singature error". I will give you some instructions on updating Superuser. Here's what you will do:
1. Open Google Play Store and install the "System Apps Installer'' application. It is free and it is compartible with Galaxy Y.
2. Open it and grant superuser permissions to the app.
3. At first, you will see a File Manager. Browse through your sdcard and find the new Superuser app version you have downloaded and you want to install.
4. For example I will install Superuser 3.1.3 . Now find the apk and click it.
5. It will know say "This app already exists. ¿Do you want to overwrite it?
6. Press yes and wait to install.
7. When it's done it will say "¡App installed correctly!
8. Open the new Superuser and update it's binary.
9. You're ready to go.
From now on, if Superuser has ever an update released, you will be able to update it succesfully from the Google Play Store.
Personally tested and working on Evo-x4.2
Get the APKs needed in the attachment below.
P.S. You can use that method too for other apps that you can't update.
And if this won't work on your device, you can try hnkotnis's SGYToolkit [AROMA]

if superuser error.. how to grand system app installer?
superuser Superuser is the app that manages
what apps on your rooted device
have access to su. Apps that are
granted su have elevated
permissions and can modify just
about any part of the system. The
app was originally written by zinx,
and I took it and made it much more
useable. The app consists of two
parts, Superuser.apk and the su
binary.
source http://androidsu.com/superuser/
As mentioned in the OP, it's a guide for force updating Superuser. I didn't mention anything about "error granting su permissions", but I mentioned "error updating su and su binary".
