I am using HTC Desire X (Indian). Recently I updated my mobile to JB. Previously my mobile is rooted. Now in unrooted position. But after update also I am not able to uninstall superuser. How can I remove or uninstall superuser manually?

Use root explorer & grant super user permissions...then navigate to system/app/superuser.apk
Delete it....
Pls..note that u will loose root but wen u will install the same superuser manually then u can gain root back
Plz.z. Do press thanks

You can also remove it with aroma filemanager (a recovery file manager) to bypass HTC write protection
Not only Superuser.apk also /system/xbin/su and busybox files.

Well I've flashed a stock official virgin rom since I'm done with customs, the question its because I have superuser premium and it has the ability to go ghost mode (hide from upgrades so the device won't lose the root) but.... I know the rooting process leave my stock rom untouched being able to receive OTAs updates on my Gnex... but I don't know if the rotting process here will be the same... I mean will I still be able to get my OTAs (aka future ICS updates). On the gtab if I'm rooted?
My tab its carrier free, meaning ill get the OTA as soon as Samsung put the little file in the OTA server... I don't think I'm flashing custom ROMs as i love some Samsung apps wich need the touchwiz framework to work but at least in ICS I got the Nova launcher waiting so i can run Samsung apps with ICS AOSP looks...
Thanks in advance for the info

unrooting is easy. Use busybox app from market to remove busybox, delete superuser app from /system/app with es file explorer or root explorer, download superuser app from market, remove su-binary from /system/xbin or /system/bin. Uninstall superuser app.

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.

I rooted my P500 (2.3.3) moths agoo and installed Superuser, it worked correct with Titanium Backup, ES File Explorer etc.
Now Superuser does not work correct anymore. Everything seems normal, apps do ask for rootrights and when Superuser prompt with the question for rootrights it looks normal (even in the Superuser logfile) BUT all applications wich asked for root don't work anymore.
I tried to remove Superuser but it is a "system app", for that I need rootrights ..... so I even cannot browse to the /system/app folder.
Is there a way to uninstall Superuser without totally wipe my phone?
Thanx for thinking with me.

Yes his latest CM9 had a dodgy superuser and the solution would be to get a file explorer like EX File Explorer and allow it to browse up to root in settings and then go to system/app and reinstall the superuser.apk. Open it and check for updates to the su binary and reboot. The su problem will be causing other apps to think you're not rooted.

I was successfully rooted and decided i wanted to go back to stock, so i unrooted. I never altered the ROM, just wanted root for the purpose of Hotspot. However, now that i went back to stock, superuser is still showing in my apps and will not delete no matter what methods i try. I did a factory reset and it did not help. I cannot even get my phone to Re-root or do any over the air updates. I am stuck. My phone works perfectly but i would like to update my software AND remove the superuser app. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!
same thing happened to me try fixing the root then delete superuser.apk in Root Explorer.
AW: [Q] HELP!!!! Cant get back to stock or reroot!
First uninstall the SU Updates
Delete Superuser out of System/Apps
Install Superuser as usual App
Delete SU in System/Bin

hsd-pilot, i uninstalled the updates. Went to sys/apps but it will not delete because it says file is read only.
If your using Root Explorer there should be a button top right where you can change the permissions for that folder unsetting the read only
