I updated to the latest SU through the Play Store App SuperSU. Now none of my root apps work. When I open SU it says binaries need to be updated, but it won't update them through the app. I have to reboot into TWRP, but I don't have the latest binaries. And had no luck finding them.
Any one else have this issue?
Any suggestions?
What kind of ROM are you on? If AOSP, you go into developer options and make sure root is enabled there, too? (I Dont know if sense has dev option, I don't use that crap lol).

Stock ROM with S-On. Do not have the latest software update.
What happens when you're prompted to boot into recovery to update the binary? Also, have you checked your settings in the SuperSU app to make sure that you don't have it set to deny permissions to root apps?

If I boot into recovery, it does nothing. And I know my settings were set ask for permission for root apps. But I can't even check my settings now because everytime I open SuperSU it prompts me to update the binaries & if you say cancel, the app simply closes.
Look through the thread in the link below. You may need to re-flash the SuperSU zip in recovery. Normally, TWRP will detect that your phone isn't rooted and give you the option to install the SuperSU app. Not quite sure what's going on in your case:what:

You can uninstall the app but the su binary is still in place (ask me how I know since I just removed the app and still have root access). The su binary file is still installed in /system/xbin. I would think that flashing an updated SuperSU in recovery would just overwrite the older version, at which time the app could be re-installed.

Running CM11, with supersu pro.
- Installed SuperSU.
- Update Binaries via TWRP
- Restart Phone into Recovery (TWRP)
(because it doesn't do this automatically,for some reason)
- Once TWRP loads, it runs the script.
- Restart Phone
- Open SuperSU
- Install as system app.
- Icon disappears
- Play Store, download SuperSU, reinstall as regular
Works for me. Not sure why it has to be like that, though, but...not complaining!

Yeah I'll try that. Before I saw this I tried reflashing SU from the EVO Root files and flashed a different SU app instead and now I have 2 different SU apps so I'm a do a wipe and restore of my Nandroid then flash the updated SuperSU.
Had the same problem.
Thanks for the help. After the restore & Updated SU flash, it's back running normal. Actually running better. Thanks again.
When I installed SuperSU, it did *not* uninstall the older Superuser app.
1) Is that a problem? (Superuser keeps bugging me that the binary is out of date)
2) How do I get rid of Superuser without screwing anything else up?
RootChecker says I still have root, so I guess SuperSU is installed properly...
Uninstall the app, or remove with Titanium Backup.

Well, two days ago I decided to put ICS on my Amaze. Previous to ICS I was Rooted with S-ON, and Unlocked.
I followed the instructions on the Development section to install ICS on my unlocked, S-ON Amaze. However after I installed CWM, and flashed Superuser, Titanium Backup, or any other root app says I don't have root privileges.
From what I understood, once SU was flashed, the device would be rooted.
I used the All In One Kit to put the CWM Recovery, and flash the SU. I did HTC Steps to unlock the phone (which the AIO Kit helped also)
I tried looking for a solution or something before posting, but I couldn't find one in the 80+ pages of the ICS thread in the Development section.
Thanks in advance!
I initially had an issue flashing Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip (found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20992340&postcount=4) because I didn't toggle the signature setting in recovery. Perhaps it didn't flash correctly? Make sure it said it was successful at flashing the zip.
Flash it again.
Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?
I realized that my tool didn't set the SU permissions. I have to fix that. Just flash the SU zip file and it'll be fine.

You sure can. Detailed instructions posted in development section. Basically you need to unlock bootloader through HTC, flash a custom recovery, load up the superuser zip, then flash it in your custom recovery. More details are given in other posts already.

Just going to throw this out there. I flashed superuser after installing ICS to get root. It works for most applications, but one app that it doesn't work with is LuckyPatcher (to get rid of those stupid ads in my other apps). For LuckyPatcher to work, I had to install superSU (can be found from the play store). It seems to be my default root app now.

When I try to run clockwork mod from rom manager it tells me " an error occurred while attempting to run privaleged commands!" what is this supposed to mean?
I have the super user zip to install on my device I haven't ran a rom in a while though now so I have an older version of revolutionary.
How do I get clockwork mod installed so I can run the zip or is there an easier way to run the zip? When I get to fast boot and try to run recovery it boots to a red ! in a triangle.

Are you S-off?
You may not have full root.
Install Root Checker from the Play Store and see if you have root access.
If you're S-off, have full root, and have root access according to Root Checker...
Make sure your Superuser binaries are up-to-date.
Then install Busybox and smart install Busybox binaries.
See if that works.

So I did the HTC unlock after receiving my Asurion claim (1.19 Hboot) a couple months ago. I haven't messed around with it much because I've been busy irl. I installed TWRP, Fresh, and just recently the "deSensed ICS ~ Dialer, Tumblers & Apps! -Updated Mean4.4 & Goodies2.11!" theme. Now I've been thinking I'd really like to just flash CM10 now that it's starting to mature so I installed TB and it wasn't able to gain root access (tried a couple different SU apps). I checked several other apps and none were able to gain root (ES file explorer, Quick Boot, Root Explorer, etc). I originally thought that the issue was the fact I flashed Fresh over the stock rom after just wiping Cache but I just wiped everything (Cache, Dalvik, System, Factory Reset, in that order), flashed a newly downloaded Fresh rom, and downloaded TB and got the same "Root Access: Failed" error. I'm at a loss. I'm running Fresh, I have TWRP installed, but I have no root access. Any help would be appreciated.

try root checker basic from the playstore to confirm you are rooted but it doesn't make sense the you can have twrp and flash fresh without root
Sounds like your Su binaries may have got messed up. Try using only one Su and see if that works. You may need to flag Su in twrp

I had the SU that comes in Fresh installed and it wasn't working so last night I installed a different one from the market, that didn't work either, uninstalled. I tried updating binaries on one (couldn't find the option to do it on the other) and that worked fine but it failed to gain root.
Just now I fixed Permissions via TWRP, deleted the SU that comes with Fresh via TWRP, uninstalled and reinstalled the other SU with the same results.
Try going into su and check grant permissions automatically and make sure fastboot is unchecked.....see if that helps

Hit it twice and make it count.
Unlocked does not give you root. It enables you to install a Rom with root access or install superuser. If you are unlocked and have installed a custom Rom with root support, you should already have superuser in the app drawer. Update whatever superuser app you have to the newest, and reboot.

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
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
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.

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.

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.
