I just downloaded CM7.2 on my Galaxy551, using this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861186
The phone has root, but it gives root access to everything without superuser prompting.
I tryied to update the su binary but it stops at "Making sure new su works"
It just freezes there.
Any help?
Hi mtbrandao,
you could look into SuperSu settings. There you should see under "Access" the option "Default access". If it's on "Grant" that's the trigger for the problem.

I downloaded SuperSu from Play store.
It works OK. Asks for permission and everything.
If I uninstall and install SuperUser, it doens't asks for permission.
SuperSu works (prompt), SuperUser doesn't (prompt).
I will using SuperSu until I can fix SuperUser

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.
Have a unlocked and rooted Nexus 7. Everything was working perfectly till I made the stupid move to clear Data on the superuser app. Now I do not seems to have root access. The apps that require root access does not work now. The Superuser prompt does not appear either..
What have I done and what do I need to do now?...
Go to the superuser app, swipe right and tap 'update su binary'. Then open root apps and see if they ask for permission. Clearing data of superuser app normally doesn't cause anything other than losing the list of permitted apps.

Hi! Thanks for the advice.. But.. when I used the root checker app from the market, It tells me I am not rooted.. Then I tried factory reset the device, still no root access. Finally, Using the nexus 7 toolkit, I flashed the SuperSu and now root is back..
Hmm...
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
Hit the 'thanks' button if it helps

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

I just flashed CM11 onto my Amaze (T-Mobile S-ON) and everything runs fine except when I tried to use titanium to restore my apps, it gave me this message: "Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will *not* work! Please verify that your ROM is rooted, and try again. This attempt was made using the "/system/bin/su" command." I opened Superuser and scrolled to info. It says "superuser v3.1.3 (46)" and "su binary v3.1.1 (17). When I press on the su, it goes to a binary updater which says "downloading manifest," then, after a minute or so, it says "fail" in red at the end of the "downloading manifest" line. I downloaded superuser by CWM after this problem and when I opened the app, it said: "The Superuser binary (su) must be updated. Please choose an installation method. Recovery mode installation is recommended for HTC devices." It gives me the option to press cancel or Recovery Install. When I press recover install, it says: "There was an error installing Superuser. Please send a log of the error to the developer." I went onto the superuser website, downloaded the latest arm su and superuser, put them on my sd card, went into 4ext and installed both from sd card and still have the same problem.
Problem: I can't grant superuser permissions to any apps because something is wrong with my su binary. I tried installing su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip from 4ext and it said the installation was successful, so I do not know what is wrong.
Root?

I think you are not rooted.
Try app "Simple Root Checker" from Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simonedev.simplerootchecker
If not rooted, try this to gain root:

I used that app and it said: "Android 4.4.2 HTC Amaze 4G Application Superuser found Terminal Rooted Busybox installed BusyBox v1.21.1" So I am guessing I am rooted. Should I try using that tool to flash SuperSU anyway? Thanks for helping me out with this.

Nice--my mistake. In your Superuser info, where you found your su binary listed "su binary v3.1.1 (17)", did it give the file specs right underneath--it does in mine.
Also, if you go into Superuser app, then Preferences->Security->Automatic Response, is that accidentally set to "Deny?" Betcha' that won't work.
Is Titanium Backup listed in your Superuser apps list, and if you open the info there, is it "Allowed?"
Probably what you said about re-flash Superuser is reasonable, and worth a shot if the Automatic Response is already set to Allow or Prompt.
I'll also wager that someone else with good insight and experience will stop in the thread with a working answer for you.

The problem you describe is common with more recent versions of CM (at least I've experienced it). It's due to the way CM is now implementing their included Superuser app, which is different from how it used to behave and how many other apps expect it to behave. The solution is to flash SuperSU in recovery from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 (if it resolves your issues please remember to thank its creator and consider purchasing the full version).
When you set it up, enable "pro" mode, survival mode, allow it to install the scripts, and respect CM root settings. If installed correctly you should be good to go.
I hope this helps

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)
