Sup guys. This place seems a little dead without any new rom releases lol. Just went to the market to check for some new apps and updates and saw that superuser was available for update.
Kinda weird but I did it and opened the new app. It has a slightly different interface, something like the new market except without the lags. Then it told me that I had to do some updates and I just allowed it blah blah blah. It installed some new software and a custom busybox.
I find that the v6 supercharger works better with this busybox and the other new root stuff lol.
Go check it out!

I upgraded to 3.0 and saw all kinds of problems. Couldn't update the binaries for some reason and lost all permissions and could get su access back. Reverted in TB to okd su and ut was fine. Since then chains updated it again and everything works fine now. Just an fyi.
@Mchlbenner Like your new avatar. Funny.

Hey, since we have these new ROMs going and there was some issues before with the Superuser.apk updating the binaries, Chains has created and update fix in the market also. You update the superuser app and then it either works or says the binary didn't update or the app itself couldn't update. Just go to the Update Fix app install and run it and then try to reinstall the Superuser.apk.
If you are flashing in between ROMs daily then I wouldn't worry about it until you settle on one, but if you do find one you like and want to run it for some time, then you'll probably have to eventually update it and this is how.

Is anyone else having superuser issues? All of a sudden it it is saying I dont have superuser or root access.
There are some issues with superuser. Which version of SU do you have? I believe the most up to date version is 3.0.4 or something to that effect. I believe that if you get the newest version it should fix your issues as the description on market says that it has fixed the issues saying that you have an outdated binary.
I have been using Infected Rom Eternity. My SU access was fine until I flashed the most recent update of their ROM. When I flashed it, my SU access broke. So when I looked into it, I saw that they had a superuser fix to downlad and flash. Once I flashed that fix, it worked again. Then about a day later I saw that there was a market update for superuser, which said that it corrected the problems people were having.
First, try to update SU. If not, look for the Superuser fix to download and flash over on the Infected Rom Eternity thread in development. good luck.

I can also confirm (using the InfectedRom) That uninstalling updates resolves the issue.
Is there a widget, or a setting to turn off Automatic Application updating without affecting anything else ?
This would be quite beneficial.
That seemed to work......thank u. I am using the viper rom now do u guys kniw of any rom or where i could get a good wifi tether for 3/4g that is config for the evo 3d?

I did too and it worked perfect.

Odd, Force stop is grayed out for me, and just clearing data and/or uninstalling updates doesn't work. Knew I should have done a Nandroid more recently...

For some people just force closing and clearing the data works but for others it doesnt...you just need to flash the su you used when u rooted the phone and that is going to fix the issue...then if u want later on u can update to the new su...

I had to do the same thing. It wouldn't let me roll back the update via the market or through the settings menu. Without root, I couldn't run Titanium to restore the version I had backed up, so I had to reflash the rom.
If anyone has to reflash the rom, make sure you don't have "automatic updates" checked off when in the market under the superuser app, or it will happen again.
Uninstalling updates, then reflashing the original SU zip through recovery seems to have worked. I tried Kernel Manager, Quick Boot, Wifi Tether, etc...all were able to be granted SU access with no crashes. Not sure I'll ever update SU at this point if I don't run into problems.

For anyone having problems with superuser. Download this version and flash in recovery. Do not let it update or do not update it until all is well again. Just go into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik-cache and flash.
What is up with the last superuser update? it is fc on every app that wants root access, i have cleared data, i have deleted and re-installed it and other apps. Anybody have a download with a older version of it? It has been like this for a few days now and there is still no new update on the market.
I deleted the update. It gave me a number of FCs when I loaded Liquid 2.0. I can not answer directly what is wrong with it.

I just saw this on the XDA home page. Its a new super user app. As we know, the SU app on CM7 is a little buggy and doesnt always give super user permissions. Maybe this app will work better for us. Im going to be trying it out soon.

UPDATE: So I installed it and tested all my root apps. Seems to work well. I will give it a day or two and see if I have any of the apps fail to get root permissions. If this works and fixes the SU problems we have, then this is a great thing for us CM7 users.

Since I am very familiar with ADB and the command line, I tore apart the apk in the linked thread OP to make sure I understood what was happening during the install. I moved the original su binary and Superuser.apk to my emmc (internal memory card), manually pushed the new files out to my phone, and then rebooted.
Once CM7DX2 came all the way up, I started doing some testing and noticed the the original Superuser APK was still showing up in my app drawer. If DOESN'T appear to be conflicting with the new SuperSU APK, but I'm not sure. I have had a few times of the SuperSU app stop responding and asking to either force close or wait. After hitting wait a few times, I ended up just FCing the app.
Once everything smoothed out, the SuperSU seems to have worked, bu, I was still receiving "not responding" messages from the SuperSU app when apps were asking for Root access.
I am going to also cross-post this to the linked OP thread and see if Chainfire wants more digging into this.
Also, as a side note, I think the reason the CM7DX2 Superuser APK was still appearing is that it MAY be installed as part of 2nd-init. I'm not 100% sure about this.
So, in conclusion, for CM7DX2, I think this needs more digging in to and I will offer to work with Chainfire to see what we can do.
Ciao!

Thanks Moon Shadow. The only time I had it hang on "asking for root access" is with Titanium Backup. I think that had to do with the SuperSU app freezing though when trying to get into the settings tab in the app. It just freezes up when selecting that and I had to go into application seetings and manually force stop the app. After that, everything worked fine. I think its just that settings tab for some reason.
The way I installed it was installed SuperSU from the market, then uninstalled the old Super User through the market. I then opened SuperSU and it asked to update so I did. After that, I went through all my root apps and the new SuperSU prompt popped up for all and I granted access. I too see the old SU in the app drawer. Opening that though shows that the only thing that its granting root access to is the new SuperSU app. It doesnt seem to be conflicting with anything so far.

Kind of random but Moon, you are a goddamn machine. The moment something great releases you take it apart and make it better. Good **** man, good ****.
Just including my experience...
SuperSU is working like a champ, but had major issues until I removed Superuser completely.
Here's how I installed:
- Install SuperSU from market
- Uninstall Superuser from settings > applications
- Launch SuperSU and allow it to update it's binary
- Delete superuser.apk from system/apps (use root explorer, es file explorer, terminal, etc...)
- Reboot
Since changing over to SuperSU, I haven't seen a single hang while an app is requesting su permissions.

Did you go Settings> Applications> Manage Applications and hit the app? If you dont see that option, go into Titanium Backup (an app you have no excuse not having) and uninstall it. Then go into Root explorer and follow the above directions to totally remove it. Then reboot. It may seem like it isnt totally gone cause you may see the icon somewhere, but it likely is gone and a reboot is needed in order to confirm.
yea got the tiBu. but i tried force stopping and clearing data and uninstall never popped up. thought about removing in TiBu buts thats not what it said in the instructions.

Did it disappear after you rebooted? If you have root explorer, go into system/app and see if SU is still gone. If so, you're in good shape.
to clarify
before i even started i backed up original superuser.apk to a folder on sdcard from root explorer, then
i downloaded supersu from market.
went to settings-app-manage apps- etc no choice to uninstall. force stopped- cleared data, still no uninstall option.
went into titanium backup to uninstall from there and superuser wasnt even listed in the apps! (ok weird)
only option left is to just delete from root explorer then continue continue to launch supersu, update binaries and reboot but im holding off.
Lowend was supersuper listed in titanium for u? y isnt it showing up in my list. i find it odd

I can't find superuser in TB either... it is kind of weird...
i believe u cant delete superuser from tibu cus u need superuser for root access so its like a paradox. i dunno y instructions were as someone showed cus it seems the only way to get this to work properly is delete from root explorer. but im gunna hold off till someone confirms this more legit
I don't understand why you're holding off...if SuperSU is active, go for the reboot and see if the old superuser app clears.

id rather not have a headache if it messes something up.
this thread however gives some detail on supersu
looks like sum apps look for the presence of superuser.apk in data/app and possibly system/app.
a dummy file looks like it can resolve issues. ill switch when more testing is done on CM7dx2.

It's odd that you guys don't see the uninstall option for it... Do you see it in Market (err...Google Play, stupid name)? That's another way to get the uninstall done. If it doesn't show up there, you should be able to use root explorer and delete it from /data/apps and /system/apps.
When we installed CM7, the instructions had us update Superuser from market. That would have installed it in /data/apps, so it just needs to be yanked from there. Uninstall via market, tibu, settings>apps or manual through root explorer should all do the same thing. Then you can delete the built in one from system.
Also, if for some reason the whole process breaks down on you...there's a flashable version of the original Superuser that will probably get you going again. I haven't tried it on CM7 though...

The most recent update (pushed yesterday) fixed this for me.
So I jumped on the cyanogen colored band wagon. Don't' get me wrong, this is the ROM I've been waiting for. Only now I am having issues. Google Play (formerly Marketplace) force closes every time i start it up.
I've done the required, check to see that English (united states) is set. Even did a wipe dalvik from CWM. so far Play has not responded to my advances. I was wanting to get it back up and running cause with out it, I don't' have Gmail, Google Maps, and a few other apps I use.
My atrix timeline:
Bought the phone with Froyo on it, and used this guide to unlock and root. Then I installed Alien ROM 4 to my device to get me to Gingerbread (2.3.4.) I stuck with that build till last night when I flashed CM7.2 RC1 to my phone.
Nothing strange happened while I did this. Followed the guides to the Tee.
What I think may have happened, when I used TiBu to restore my apps, it may have borked Play/Market.
Also, not sure why some of the gapps didn't' come along. I did flash them, right after CM7, then rebooted. I got a screen/list of apps, but not sure what I did to prevent some of them from NOT loading.
I've even tried to flash the gapps from CWM again, in hopes that would fix things... Nope.
The answer is probably, "Do a fresh install of CM7.2," but I want a second opinion before I do this.
Forgot to mention I removed tenfars cwm and used the one in the tuts by the CM wiki
I had the same issue with the play store. The way I fixed it was I first uninstalled the play store. Then I got a copy of the old market. I then renamed it vending and placed the apk in the following directory using root explorer (need to make sure the root explorer is set to Mount R/O):
system>app
After that I changed the permissions for the market apk. I made sure read, write, and execute were all cheeked under owner and clicked ok. I then exited root explorer and rebooted the phone. Once the phone booted back up I had the old market again. Then I went back to the system>app directory and changed the permissions back to the default (probably don't have to do this, but did it just in case). After that I opened the market and agreed to the terms. I then exited the market and waited a few minutes and went back it. I was then automatically pushed the play store and had no more FCs.
Attached is the original market.

I've not had time to get back to this yet but may work on it tonight. Firstly I don't have root explorer on my phone, nor the experience to mess with setting permissions. Will a reinstall possibly fix my issue?
Is there any other way of going about fixing the issue using TiBu? Maybe uninstalling play and rerunning gapps?
