This thread is for users facing difficulties on updating the Superuser app, while running a custom or stock ROM
Most times you might be facing problems like "Singature error". I will give you some instructions on updating Superuser. Here's what you will do:
1. Open Google Play Store and install the "System Apps Installer'' application. It is free and it is compartible with Galaxy Y.
2. Open it and grant superuser permissions to the app.
3. At first, you will see a File Manager. Browse through your sdcard and find the new Superuser app version you have downloaded and you want to install.
4. For example I will install Superuser 3.1.3 . Now find the apk and click it.
5. It will know say "This app already exists. ¿Do you want to overwrite it?
6. Press yes and wait to install.
7. When it's done it will say "¡App installed correctly!
8. Open the new Superuser and update it's binary.
9. You're ready to go.
From now on, if Superuser has ever an update released, you will be able to update it succesfully from the Google Play Store.
Personally tested and working on Evo-x4.2
Get the APKs needed in the attachment below.
P.S. You can use that method too for other apps that you can't update.
And if this won't work on your device, you can try hnkotnis's SGYToolkit [AROMA]

if superuser error.. how to grand system app installer?
superuser Superuser is the app that manages
what apps on your rooted device
have access to su. Apps that are
granted su have elevated
permissions and can modify just
about any part of the system. The
app was originally written by zinx,
and I took it and made it much more
useable. The app consists of two
parts, Superuser.apk and the su
binary.
source http://androidsu.com/superuser/
As mentioned in the OP, it's a guide for force updating Superuser. I didn't mention anything about "error granting su permissions", but I mentioned "error updating su and su binary".

Here you guys have a SuperSU CWM flashable package that works on the CWM recoveries of the X8 - and will replace the default Superuser by ChainsDD
"su" goes into /system/xbin and "Superuser.apk" goes into /system/app
There's also an undo CWM ZIP attached that will restore ChainsDD's Superuser.apk and su binary in case Chainfire's SuperSU doesn't work for you.
Tested to work on GingerDX v022 and v025 - try on other ROMs at your own risk.
EDIT:

- Link to Chainfire's SuperSU thread
- SuperSU for GingerDX on MediaFire
What exactly does it do?

It's a "better than Superuser" solution. I added the links to the article on XDA's portal as well as to Chainfire's SuperSU thread ... just have a look.
Thanks B.Jay!

Go into Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications and try clearing the data cache of SuperSU.
I tried SuperSU on the cellphone of my step-daughter (GingerDX v022 on Alfs) and the only problem I have is that Titanium Backup gets stuck after obtaining super user privileges (already Allowed and Remembered).
All the other apps (Root Browser, "su" in the Terminal, ClockSync) work fine; no problems with Force Closes.
Root Explorer broken by this app on a Rezound running ICS. Uninstalling SuperSU breaks root (you might want to put a warning in it somewhere). And even after flashing your fix, and using Amon Ra to re-root (there is no CWM for Rezound), Superuser can't update its binary.
Got a fix? (Other than to reinstall before you do fix it?)
Thanks in advance. Might just have to restore last Nandroid.

The UNDO CWM ZIP actually spills back ChainDD's Superuser ...
EDIT: And with a Rezound you seem to be in the entirely wrong forum section.

This appears to be only thread for app on xda; and the app was touted on Lifehacker today (and the Market, uh, er, Play doesn't say it doesn't run on the Rezound).
My problem is that I can't update the binary since uninstalling SuperSU. How can that be? I get an error "Failed to download manifest. Check internet connection." (Regardless of whether on LTE or wifi).
Interested in your suggestions.

Well, if you can tell me into which directory the "su" binary is supposed to go I can create you a customized "undo" CWM ZIP.
The one attached above to the OP post copies "Superuser.apk" into /system/app (that much is the same on all Droids) and "su" into /system/xbin
If that matches with how it should be on the Rezound then simply flash the file - if "su" needs to be in /system/bin instead (or some other totally mind boggling location) tell me and I repack it for you.
On that note: There is a thread of Chainfire for SuperSU - this is just a repack of his CWM ZIP as it doesn't work on the X8
Chatted with my ROM developer who said "leave su & binary alone," so Nandroided back to pre-SuperSU and we seem to be okay.
I like the concept, just can't run (yet). Thanks anyway.

Anybody tried it on MiniCM9 ?

Thanks bro. Works GREAT on GDX.
Does not work on cm9 naa. It lags and hangs and restarts. Not recommended for cm9.
Which is better and why?
First thanks for me by: fotak-x and stamatis 16, thanks for it
Nice good job
Is there anybody using supersu instead of superuser? What is the best way to switch between the two?
Just download supersu from play store install binary when it says to update then delete superuser from system app. That's what I did.

yes, Update SuperSU then delete Superuser
did you update it through the normal way or did you choose to do it through recovery?

what actually bussybox do to our devices.??
i havent installed this app still all the rootapps areworking great, so what really it does to our device
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda app-developers app
In a layman's lanaguage- busybox is a set of command line tools which is used by applications with root privilege to alter data on restricted partitions of system.
It's a must have for any rooted user who want to alter their device to their liking not usually allowed in stock ROMs.

cant install it
o have dsc rom with simplesu
while installing it says device not rooted
qhat to do.?
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda app-developers app
Use SuperSU instead of SimpleSU. As I explain in the Traveller DSC thread, SimpleSU's su binary isn't seen as a valid binary by certain apps. Stericson's Busybox installer is one of those apps.
You could also switch to Traveller DSC, as it uses SuperSU and includes a comprehensive busybox binary.
cant i just use some other app for it without changing the rom
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda app-developers app
You can install SuperSU from the Play Store (not recommended due to bugs in SuperSU 1.69), but you'll need to add SuperSU's package to SimpleSU's whitelist before SimpleSU will allow SuperSU to do its thing. In the Traveller DSC thread I do make a flashable zip of SuperSU 1.65 available to plug into /system, which is the best way to go. This will replace SimpleSU's binary and allow the Busybox installer to function. If you go this route, make sure to read the post regarding SuperSU.
Regardless of which way you install SuperSU, all apps requiring root will require that permissions be granted again, since you are changing both the su binary and the Superuser app.

Search for Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed
Go to SuperSu ( I assume you have it as the default super user app) .
Now install clockwork mods superuser app.
Then go to SuperSu, then click settings tabs, scroll down, find 'change superuser app' , click it, a pop up will come, read that and click okay.
Now SuperSu will uninstall.
then go to Superuser app.
it will prompt you to update binary.
click install.
installation success dialog will come.
now superuser will be the default app!

[Q] Trying to use "GLtools". Keep getting "Library building failed" during install.
I have a rooted samsung galaxy tab 3, 4.4.2 kitkat, using TWRP.
I recently downloaded GLtools from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-gltools-1-29-t2828630
It's an .apk file and easily "installs" on the device. When I open up the program, I get to this screen: https://imgur.com/Td9BDWU
I check all 3 boxes. But when I click install or install using recovery, it says "Library building failed. Send crashlog to developer".
I have contacted the developer and am awaiting a reply (hopefully), but no where else have I seen this error.
I also tried to download a .zip version of Gltools and use the TWRP manager app to install it, but when I clicked "flash now", literally nothing happened.
I'm an android noob so any help is appreciated!

In your superuser are supersu app have you checked to make sure GLtools has root permission if you do revoke permission going to clear the apps data and then grant permissions again

Actually, it never asked me to grant su to gltools, so it doesnt show up in chainfire supersu app list

Wow okay I'm at a loss right now I can only think of 2 more things that might help you go into your customer recovery and use the fix permissions option and if that doesn't work I don't know if you're using a custom ROM but try using your stock rom
