Superuser keeps asking for root access - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my tablet and I have Superuser on it. When I use some apps it works fine, and others won't start because it keeps asking for root access over and over. Any ideas? Thanks!

Uninstalling Superuser

What would happen? Would apps no longer be able to get root permissions or would they automatically get them?
To the best of my knowledge you can't uninstall superuser without going to back to stock.
Also the apps that need superuser won't work

If you delete the app, nothing will get root anymore. If you delete the su binary, the same thing would happen.

Device detected as root?

So I bought a bluray/dvd/digital download. First i've ever bought a movie like this. The digital download can be used through the application pocket blu. Only problem is that when I try, the app says device detected as rooted. For security reasons blah blah blah. Is there any way around this or trick the app into thinking I'm unrooted?

Don't grant the app superuser access.

I never allowed it su access. In superuser, it has no log of gaining access and it is not listed in the apps section

Follow the posted directions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289635
Or, do it the easy way and install this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zachspong.google.videos.root&feature=search_result
One click to shut root down, then click to activate root again once you are done.

Stock tethering

I have tethered via USB many times before, but all of a sudden I it started"verifying" and telling me I needed the tethering mobile plan. Anyone else having this issue or know how to get it back to when my tethering worked?

Are you stock or rooted? Its the tethering manager apk that looks for the right plan
Stock + root
Should I uninstall that apk or modify it somehow?

You need to either freeze (Titanium Backup) or delete (Titanium Backup or any file manager, like Root Explorer, that can gain root access) the TetheringManager apk.
If you use a file manager, the apk can be found in /system/apps.
I deleted mine and haven't missed it one bit

Temp root?

Red somebody had it but I don't believe them anybody confirm?
By the way I'm on a lot of pain killers so if anybody has already asked this I am so sorry!

not aware of any method for temp rooting. why not fully root it?
Certain cable providers like time Warner won't allow you watch live tv on their app. Some games too when rooted

You can fully root and then you can use the SuperUser app to temp unroot.
Only Temp Root that the Amaze had was on 1.36. Since then, it was always a perm root.
Can someone link me to the guide that instructs how to pull bloat apks through adb?
In the hospital right now so it's hard. And thank you so much for everything you've done all of you

Just curious, what happens if you install an app that needs root

To a phone that isn't rooted? What would happen? Crash out?

No, depends, some apps is optional for root access, some is necessary for root access.
For the first type, some functionality that requires root wouldn't work but other part is OK.
For the second type of apps, it will politely says you don't have root access and then exit out
