I have the 4.3 stock HTC Sense on my phone. The stock phone app it came with keeps asking for supersu permissions every day. I grant it without having it ask me again, but I was just curious as to why it needs permissions in the first place.

This happens to me as well. I'm curious as well.

it just happend to me just now. anyone know why?
Anyone get an answer to this? Just happened to me. I think it might be to do with SuperSU updating though as I just had to update it after catching this message.
First of which app you trying to run, second was it a new device or used that you got. If used check the bootloader if it locked/unlocked/relocked.
Some apps require SU pemissions in order to run. If your device is rooted I would suggest to update to the latest SU all available on the xda forums v.1.89

This only atarted recently. Just happened again. SuperSU blocks it by default if I don't do anything. But I don't know if to allow it. It is now in SuperSU list as 'Phone'. I was using the phone earlier today and it did not ask for permissions. Android 4.3 Trickdroid last build. SuperSU is up to date.
I've been getting this as well. My old HTC One did not do this. But the speaker blew out. After getting a replacement and rooting (and unlocking, S-Off), this started happening on the Stock AT&T ROM for 4.3. I never ran the stock ROM on my original so I wasn't sure if it was normal or not.

Why is SuperSU even on a stock non root phone? If it has SuperSU on it, then that would tell me the phone the OP has that he thinks is stock is not stock. I don't consider a rooted phone to be stock, and that is most likely what the OP has.
I am rooted and s-off. It has not asked again for a while and is not listed in SuperSU anymore. But the log shows 'Phone' made 3 attempts.
This happened to me last night around 8:00. I unlocked the phone, and the SuperSU request was already showing when I unlocked, counting down from 7. I let it time out, but I didn't find it a little nerve-racking. I checked the SuperSU log, and it tried the night before around the same time, as well.

I got my boot loader unlocked successfully following the step by step instructions. I successfully installed twrp. I tried flashing the superSU file using twrp I downloaded from here but every time I try it fails. I've flashed the boot.IMG I got from here and still can't flash the supersu files and cant flash pre rooted roms to get successfully rooted. I even tried rebooting into recovery to flash again but no success no matter how many times I try. I used every tool that is released here and nothing works. Does anybody know why and am I the only person? I have the us version of the Droid DNA from Verizon. I just upgraded to it on 1/13/2013 and its 100% new & not refurbished.
I did a Google search and I read a little about s-on and s-off . If my Droid DNA is s-on how do I convert it to s-off. I don't know for sure but that maybe why trying to get my phone rooted is failing for me. Is that what my problem is?

Thanks But what do you mean i can't convert to s-off or i can't get this rooted? I never had this problem before. This is my first HTC I came from Motorola I was using Motorola from my first phone droid up to the razr. I love this HTC droid DNA.
If there's an error message, post it for more help possibly.
I've also heard some have had issues with TWRP recently.

Yes when I flash the supersu files it said failed md 5 not found or something like that and when I tried to install a prerooted ROM it was over 800mb in size and it was taking more than 15 to install so I stop it. I tried another ROM and it started to install for about a second and it just stopped and rebooted my phone.
I don't know how to use the cwrm because it will not install anything from the internal memory so I can select the supersu files or ROM. I dont know anything about side loading but I tried somebody's tool I got from here to side load a ROM but it would not work for me.
Did you watch video on YouTube. That helped me a lot.

You can always just flash a stock rooted Rom if you can't gain root.

What happens when you say flashing the file fails?

Thanks I'm fine now. I got rooted and got the pre rooted stock installed. I don't know why I was having all that problems rooting. I keep getting the message failed every time I tried flashing using the twrp but last night I successfully got root after flashing using twrp. I thought I was dreaming and almost fell over when I finally got rooted. Also the superSU dont update the su. I launched the SuperSU and it said to update the su file but when I did it also failed. The superuser is working better than SuperSU so far. Thanks y'all.
The message I was getting was just failed. The text on the twrp is so small its to hard to read.

I had the same issue, my phone would constantly freeze when trying to flash a new rom, or if it went through i would get an infinite boot loop. i dont know what i did to fix it, re-stocked my phone with the RUU, and flashed the battery plus rom, it went through and has worked beautifully since. so maybe try that rom and see if it works for you like it did with me, i tried HATKA and CODIS with no luck
Hey guys,
So I decided to flash the newest TrickDroid ROM (ver 11.0, I believe), and for whatever reason, my phone is telling me it isn't rooted anymore. I made a backup of all my data using Titanium, but I don't believe I made a Nandroid backup. SuperUser is saying that is needs to update the su binary, but I get an error when I try to update. Titanium can't do anything because it doesn't have root access.
I have VERY limited knowledge about this stuff and I really am not sure what to do. Please help! And thank you!
Head to this thread, it's chainfires supersu thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Go to the download section and choose the third option which is the link to flashable zips on his website. Go ahead and download the latest version, I believe it's 1.65 at the moment. Then just flash it in recovery, no need to wipe your data or anything.
See if that helps, should restore your root.

Thanks! Another problem (and this might require a new topic), it seems like every time I try to uninstall apps via tibu, when I restart my phone ALL of those apps come back. Most of them are HTC apps, but some aren't. I've uninstalled them 4 times now and they KEEP COMING BACK. It's very odd.
Also, I received an error (also in tibu) mentioning my Device ID had changed? I had it change it back, but perhaps this is related to the issue?

The only info I could find was the possibility that I might need to change my kernel. Which would be terra nova for me, as I'm upgrading from a previous version of Trickdroid. Maybe you were able to find something else?
id like to update to 4.3, but as far as I know, only a few people have had success keeping root, without having to re root. Is it at all possible, such as if I used superSU pro survival mode, or something else? I don't have access to a computer to re root, and want know if anyone has had success with keeping root. I don't wanna risk doing something stupid and bricking the phone lol. Thanks.

You will lose ROOT when updating a OTA update but i will explain a way to keep it.
1. Open the Google Play Store (or Android Market) and search for ‘Superuser’ (link to Superuser here). Be sure you have the latest version installed. Update or install if necessary.
2.Open Superuser (not SuperSU if you also have that installed). Click on info in the top left corner. Swiping to the right will also go to the info tab. If on a tablet click the “i” icon on the top of the screen on the right.
3.Verify that you have ‘superuser v3.1′ or higher installed.
4. Click on ‘su binary’ (not the ‘outdated binary notification’ checkbox).
5. Click on ‘Update’. Click ‘Grant’ and ‘Allow’ on boxes that pop up. Keep clicking on ‘Update’ and ‘That was cool, do it again’ until the update process runs through without any errors. Turning your device off and back on may resolve any issues you hit.
6.Press the back button to get back to the info screen. Check the ‘ota survival’ box.
7. Install the OTA update for your device. When the update is complete open the Superuser app again. If it is no longer installed reinstall it from the Google Play Store. Go to the info tab once again. If you do not see ‘su binary not found’ then you are finished! If you do see ‘su binary not found’ move on to the next step.
8.Uncheck ‘ota survival’ to restore root access. ‘su binary’ should now show a version number. If successful, recheck the ‘ota survival’ box as a precaution to future updates.
9.Done!
I'll try it, I'd like to know first though if this can brick your phone? I know there's always a risk, but I'd like to know HOW much of a risk.

Ok so no matter what I do, everything is fine when I update the binaries, but then when it says "making sure su binaries work", it fails everytime. Whether I reboot, or just keep hitting update. I'm using superuser by chainsDD, I'm not sure if this is the correct app you mentioned. What do I do from here?

Yeah the SU from chansDD is the good one.
Make sure your using the latest version of the Superuser app, another option would be to try using SuperSU since it also has OTA survival. Also is root access functioning normally for you?
I used superSU pro and did survival mode before, my issue with that is I would have root access just fine, but then when I would make a NAndroid backup, suddenly root would be gone.
Superuser by chainsDD works, but no matter hown many times I update the SU binaries, when it gets to the last step that says making sure binaries work, it says fail every time. I don't know how to get around that.

OTA update fails
Hi, I have SuperSu installed, and when I try to do OTA update on my Galaxy S4 4.2.2 (MF3), the installation fails at 25% mark. I tried disabling and hiding Superuser in the SuperSU settings, but it didn't help.
What should I do?
It might just be the ROM itself that won't install. Try a different 4.3 ROM, and see if the same thing happens.

Stock rom version 80120E is the latest one. Everybody should get it if possible. In addition to the above updates the lockscreen displays full screen album art from Google play music app. I've experienced far less frequent playback errors also.

I've seen this, but my question about it is, does it mess up root/custom recovery?
I second this. Just received the update today but I'm hesitant to install it. I still have stock recovery but I am rooted. Don't want to mess anything up. So if anyone who's rooted installed the update without problems let me know!

I'm rooted but I have custom recovery on mine (TWRP) and it was Hell... HELL! It took me 7 hours throughout the whole night to recover it, it was going back to TWRP every single time. But searching here in this fine website paid off! I'm not going to touch any OTA until I know more on how to prevent that again.
I had a similar experience when I upgraded to KitKat. Lost so much including pictures and videos that couldn't be replaced or recovered. Took hours just to get my phone working again. Never want to go through that again!

I was rooted and had TWRP. I upgraded using the LG service tool and had no issues. I lost root and recovery but was able to re-root using towelroot.
I was rooted and installed the uodate. I lost root and so far no chance of direct rooting. Good thing is that now we can choose runtime option, either dalvik or art.

Cool Confirmed, it worked for me as well, through the LG Support tool. Never taking it OTA ever again. :silly: And yes, I lost root as well and I've used towelroot before. I'm not sure if I'll install a custom recovery any time soon. Nearly bricked my LG G2 enough times already. :silly:

Have you tried using towelroot? From what I read it seems to work fine. I hope it does at least. I can live without knock code, but not having root would be a problem.

Tried towelroot and no succes. It simply said device not supported yet.
Okay recently I went through the steps listed in the article below to root my HTC One M8
http://androidcentral.us/2014/04/root-att-htc-one-m8/
Well it all went according to plan. So to test out my new rooted status I went and downloaded Xposed Framework and Unicon. After consistently trying to install/update the framework in Xposed (i never received an error. It would reboot just fine) I noticed that the update never applied. Though I never received an error, upon rebooting the update to Xposed was never applied. Just to check I downloaded an app to check my root status and well, I was not rooted somehow. I rebooted to TWRP quiet easily and installed the SuperSU zip which was located on my internal storage. (not sure if it had to be on an SD card, I don't have one.) It was flashed okay and I rebooted. I went back to check my root status and the root checker said I was officially rooted now. I downloaded another root checker just to be sure and it confirmed I was indeed rooted.
However, this is where the issue came in. Xposed now says I'm not rooted. Everytime I try to install the update, instead of rebooting it gives me an error that says "Failed to get root status." I had never received this error, even when root checkers said I wasn't rooted. Here is the thing, I'm not sure what I did wrong? Can someone point out a problem here? Something had to go wrong along the way but I'm really confused. Am I rooted or not? Root checker apps say I'm rooted, but Xposed says I'm not. How do I fix this problem?
There is an app in the app store called root checker its free check there first

Yeah I downloaded that. I covered that in my post. I downloaded the app and it said I'm rooted. However, Xposed says I'm not rooted. Essentially, I'm getting mixed results. The root checker says one thing and Xposed says another
