su.apk is in the system and also only LIB permisoes that are wrong for some reason someone could help me with a made so that I can install the recovery??
I guess I'm not completely sure what your asking. Are you wanting to install Safestrap recovery to install a ROM? Did you install superuser hoping it would root your phone, and allow superuser permissions?
Thanks for listening

I had root on my stock rom derepente it stopped working because the permissions have been changed and whenever I redo the process of root permissions remain the same as the pictures above and I wonder if someone could make a mod to see if it would solve installing the recovery, I know you do the flash reinstall the firmware would be easier to solve only it is more difficult

I have tried to Root my Vibrant on the UVKB5 update for a while now.
One Touch Root, says "no space on device", yet declares the phone rooted (su commands do not work).
Applications that require root, though, do work the su binary is always outdated and cannot be updated because "cannot find installed su binary".
This was found when I tried to boot into Clockwork Mod but only ended up in recovery mode - I downloaded the e3 fix that told me "the system cannot find the path specified. temp root failed! install cannot continue." All Try agains and Reboot and Try Agains result in the same answer.
I don't want to go back to JFD because I've done it before with a CyanogenMod with SGSII and everything crashed.
But if I did go to JFD, could I install CyanogenMod 7 the same? (the instructions assume I have the UVKB5 update)
Help.... please?!
Thanks!
i believe CM is like miui...as in the way of flashing it on the vibrant. u can either flash it from eclair 2.1 or froyo 2.2. as long as u can boot into recovery. but if u flash it from 2.1 u might have to pull out the battery then reflash from the new recovery since it bootloops...hope that helps.. i actually read how to install it..have u tried flashing project v which is a uvkb5?? then CM??that could be an easier way since project v is already rooted.

Did you even read my original post.
My phone is only half rooted. Clockwork won't open and the e3 fix can't find root.
I know what to do, I was reading the instructions.
Have you tried to update your Superuser app in the market? If you download it and install the update you might get a parse error or something that says it can't update the binaries. Scroll down in the market link for Superuser and there is an Update Fixer. Install and run that and then rerun/update the Superuser app.
Sounds like your binaries are out of date. This shoud fix it. Might also want to go to settings>manage apps>Superuser and clear cache/data. Once you update the SU, you'll have to re-grant permission anyways so clearing data shouldn't be an issue.
If that fails try to re-root is with Option A here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028 There are two options here. Choose before you start.
A: Download this update.zip file to root your phone. You plan to install Rom Manager to flash CWR and a new ROM later.

That is not the problem. Installed Update Fixer. Signatures are "OK!". Force, just force closes the app.
A: I can't flash through CWR, as mentioned in my OP.
Looks like I'm going to have to start over again and just ODIN through this..

I did read your OP and it says this. If you update your SU then the binaries will update too with the fixer. The you can download CWR from the market, reinstall it, grant SU permission and flash away. Try going into settings>manage apps>superuser and clear cache/data. If you are only half rooted as you say, then first thing to do us get full root back, eh? Good luck.

Thanks for all the help, but in the end I did man up and went back to stock JFD and now Cyanogen mod runs amazingly. And the MMS that didn't use to work on my phone -does!
Google Apps didn't install properly and I had to re-install the rom 'cause i was impatient.
Love it now though... and google thinks I have a nexus s. ^^
Did everything correctly from start to finish, flashed the SuperSU and Busybox package, but still no root access.
Couldn't install binary on SuperSU so I tried superuser... begins to download the update but fails at request for root access.
Please HELP! TWRP installed fine, i've installed the 4.2 camera keyboard and clock through twrp and they all work fine...
Titaniumbackup says it has root, but I guess that isn't right.. lol
fastboot says *TAMPERED* and *UNLOCKED*.
I also apologize if this isn't the right place for this, I can't post in the development thread due to the fact that i have <10 posts
You sound rooted, if not you wouldn't have been able to install the 4.2 camera. download superuser and try that. if all is good. then try superSU.
Also reboot your phone and try to install superSU again. but you are rooted.

Sorry I meant to include that superuser failed to gain root access in the process of updating. SuperSU won't even update, just goes to installation failed.

From what I understand if you are flashing the available custom ROM you must wipe system AND format data for it to install successfully. If you are able to get back into recovery just wipe those two and reflash the zip I believe you will be good to go after that.

Finally got it to work. Fix was around xda. Had to install superuser and I then disable superuser in SuperSU and now the superuser updates correctly. Super su still asks me to update and fails but I guess I'll just use superuser... Weird also it reboots when the update fails sometimes
My problem is that I rooted the phone OK but randomly apps will say that they cannot get root. Like titanium backup will randomly do that, a reboot will usually fix it. Thoughts?

I found that manually launching Superuser, then launching TiBu worked when TiBu wouldn't get root.

md5 mismatch is because the backup is unrooted...

no... md5 mismatch is because the backup probably failed and the device rebooted before it completed. this is a known issue with both twrp and cwm recoveries on HTC DNA

Hi,
I have my device rooted and had a custom rom for some weeks when I had changed my recovery to TWRP from CWM and did a factory reset and installed custom Lewa ROM the root permissions were gone.. it is little strange because I do have experience in rooting and installing the custom ROm's. when I restore back to my backup copy of the stock ROM rooted it has root permissions(I'm checking this with a root checker app).. currently I installed custom rom 4.2.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2306461 which I had earlier working fine with root permissions before I flashed with Lewa ROM. though now I flashed this ROM it is without Root permission. by which I'm not able to use some apps with root features, which is not good. I tried the SP tools rooting methond being on this custom ROM and at the end I still not getting the root permissions.
can some one please help me with it
Thanks

Is your default permission set to "allow" in your super user app(or any other)?
If yes, change it to "prompt" and see if it works.
thanks.. I could have checked that.. but my issue is resolved after flashing an updated supersu file. even though the settings was to allow it should have made no difference using root checker isn't it? because it doesnt need the root permissions to tell us the status?
anyways thanks all of you for helping me with your inputs
First Flash your device with any Custom Recovery like CWM or TWRP and then flash with SuperSU v1.41

I have an HTC One M8 with ROM 4.16.1540.8 (5.0.1)
I'm trying to remove my SuperSU app so that i can downgrade it to a lower version(2.20) due to incompatibility with some of my apps (puzzle and dragons).
Bootloader is unlocked and it is s-on.
I have tried removing SuperSU through the app itself by using the reinstall, switch superuser app, and full unroot functions, but everytime I restarted the phone superSU would be back and in version 2.46. I also tried manually deleting the apk and su files in the bin and xbin folders in system using es file explorer but a restart just brought those back too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Find the flashable zip for the "older" version and flash in recovery. I would think that should do it.
Hi thanks for the reply.
I flashed superSU 2.23 from recovery, but i got stuck in bootloop. What should i do to fix it? Thanks!
Edit: flashed the updated su back in and got out of it. How do i do the downgrade without a bootloop?

Hmm, wouldn't expect that to happen. Obviously, since I would never intentionally bootloop someone!
Flash the stock ROM or restore stock nandroid. Then flash the desire SuperSU zip. That's the best I can think of.
Make a nandroid backup of your current setup (if you haven't already) to revert to "just in case".

So you tried to flash 2.82? I don't think that is the proper way to update. Since you already have SuperSU installed, you should just be able to go into the SuperSU app, and update the binary from there. Or is that what led to the "binary occupied" error?
But back to the basic question, you can't "unflash" SuperSU. You can "dirty flash" Lineage (just wipe cache and dalvik, can keep user data), and that will put you back on the "unrooted" Lineage ROM. Then you should be able to flash SuperSU 2.82 via zip.
