Hi,
I'm using CM 7.03 on my Legend and it was working really good.
However yesterday i was stupid enough to install an update of superuser.
After this update root access was still functioning but i was getting a "su binary is outdated" message.
So i tried to update this,but the update failed.
So i went into rom manager,downloaded Super User 3 and flashed it,i shouldn't have done this.
After phone booted my root access was gone,and whenever a program asked root access it showed a forced close window of the su app.
My question now is....can i fix this without reflashing the device.
Keep in mind that rom manager isn't working and i can't boot into clockworkmod.
I also tried softrooting in order to gain access to the file system but this also failed.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks!
Edit: Just a brainfart,but would it work if i copied the correct superuser version to my goldcard,rename it to update.zip and flash it?
try to update to the latest superuser..
btw.. you are on which cm7?
before this.. im on cm nightly 195.. got some error when updating superuser binary..
but now im on latest cm nightly with updated superuser from market.. successful update the binary through the superuser setting interface..
i had the same problem & was able to fix it after the same steps you've taken by installing the superuser.apk from the flashing-.zip file again. there have been updates of superuser application in the market since, maybe they will fix the problem too...
Rom Manager has the superuser 2.x,too.You can download it and reboot into recovery, flash the bag( at /sdcard/clockworkmod/download/goo-inside.me/superuser/(THE SU YOU WANT TO FLASH).ZIP
Flash it and the root access will back~
ps.It seems cm 7 haven't supported su3.0....About 1 month ago, I flashed the su 3.0 and it always told me access deny...Finally I have to flash the su 2.x back...
About the recovery,you can plug the phone to computer and in recovery mode(HAVE A RED ALERT TRIANGLE), run the recovery-windows.bat( it is in the r3(or 4)-legend-root.zip), and you can flash anything you want.The HTC raw recovery( with only 4 items)cannot flash the su package even with the goldcard....

Hi,
thanks for the advice.
I'm gonna try to reflash the correct superuser.zip,that's how i wrecked it in the first place.
Also i didn't know it was impossible to do this with the raw HTC recovery so i will use the suggested batch file.
Thanks a lot guys,i'll come back and post my results.
My fix
Had the same problem on a nightly.
I did just download su-3.0.2-efgh-signed.zip from superuser website and flashed it and then it worked fine after that.
[SOLVED] CM7 lost root access after su update
Well,it isn't going like it should.
I just can't get into recovery.
I'm trying in VMware,running Windows XP (it never worked before on Win 7 x64),i've installed the correct version of HTC sync but when i run recovery-windows.bat (from hack4legend) i just keep getting errors...
failed to copy files etc/mtab.... (file system read only)
--install: applet not found.
nohup: appending....
Can't figure out what i'm doing wrong,it look like it needs root access but that's what i'm trying to fix.
Help?
Edit: Whoops,forgot about the red triangle...i can get into recovery now.
Edit2: Just flashed the correct su.zip and root access is restored!!!
Thanks a million guys!!!!!!
Sorry...but are there any screenshots?
Edit :errr...yes,you must get into the red triangle screen....
Glad to help~

It could be possible that the binary of SU is not updated. try downloading superSU in google store to see what happens.
If that will not work, yes you can root gain your phone using CF root kernel then try flashing another kernel like siyah, speedmod etc.
HIT THANKS IF THIS HELPS YOU IN ANYWAY!!!
once i had the same problem.. try the latest version of cf-root ..hope that solves ur problem...

Same problem, different result
Hello guys
First of all, I'm sorry to bump an old thread. But I guess it would be better than making a new one
I got my SGS2 from my sister few days ago and I tried to root it. After I did everything instructed by all tutorials I've read, I still can't use CWM Manager. It said just like above posts.
What I did:
1. Root the phone (already tried with 2 different kernels, the LP7s)
2. Open the SuperUser app. The app didn't give any options when I first opened it (like some tutorials do), it only gave 'Okay' to click.
3. Open CWM Manager and you all know the rest
4. Tried to install SU Updater fixer, but the app told me that there are no problems detected.
Then, I found out that I also had a problem connecting to wifi after I root (stuck in obtaining IP address). I didn't have the problem when first I use the device from my sister.
Waiting for your kindly replies. Thank you in advance

try changing the kernel and see, u can try Siyah latest 3.3.2 and check
ps- please make a nandroid bkp of ur exsisting rom in, case u face any issues u can rewert back
Did you root using CF-root?
If not, install the stock firmware if you arent on it, and use odin to install CF-root.

Wifi problem solved when I use Siyah kernel, but the CWM app still showing the same. Everything went well from CWM Recovery mode though. Thx for your replies
So I used the rooting guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996389 and found a different superuser/busybox package to use. (don't remember the link right now).
However, whenever I open SuperSU to try to update it, it says installation failed or just reboots. And if I try to use root things for AdFree, it can't find the partition or just restarts.
Is anyone else having this problem or is there a different SU package I should use? My bootloader IS unlocked.

Ive been using ViperDNA which comes with what seems like a custom SuperUser type of all in it.
But when I origionally rooted my phone, i seem to remember having an issue with SuperSU, and the first time i rooted i said screw it and just installed Superuser without any problems. The second time i rooted, i Installed SuperSU, then had to download Superuser form the Android Market, to update the binary, which updated it for SuperSU, and that solved my problem.
When you try to open an app that needs to use root access, do you get the notification asking for permission?
perhaps the "other" superSU/busybox package that you used didn't properly do what it needed to do?
I see the link on that tutorial is broken, fortunately i have the file that i originally downloaded form that very same tutorial saved to my hard drive, and now uploaded to DropBox if you would like to download it and try flashing this zip while in recovery to see if it gives you a proper root.
I would recommend downloading the above file, and flashing that to see if it helps. I'll try to remember to check back here to see if you posted anything in reply, but let me know if it doesn't work. Ill try to help as much as I can

I installed your package, and get the same errors before in SuperSU. It wants to upgrade but then force restarts whilst trying.
I then tried the Superuser app by Chainsdd, and I make a little progress?
First, when I try to upgrade, it asks for root from SuperSU and Superuser. Since SuperSU came with the busybox package, I can't uninstall it.
When I first go to the updater, it shows me this: (See attachment 1, I can't do links :S)
After I upgrade it, I am left with this screen: (see attachment 2)
It looks like it reverts back to su v .98 from 1.02?
Either way, as soon as I hit lets do it again, the phone restarts. Did I screw up the unlock/root somehow? In the top left of my fastboot screen it shows ***TAMPERED*** and ***UNLOCKED***
I am using CWM 6.0.2.1

It's difficult for me to troubleshoot when i haven't had to fix this problem since december haha.
The tampered, and unlocked is standard that is what it shows for everyone who unlocked the boot-loader.
So let me get this straight,
Do me a favor, un-install Superuser, download RootChecker from the market by JoeyKrim, And run it, what does it say?
->When you run it, did it ask for permission from SuperSU?
With just the SuperSU installed, if you run a program that requires root permission (For example, RootChecker), Nothing shows up asking if you want to Allow/Deny?
->When you open SuperSU to update the binary, it fails to update and restarts the APP?
With the SuperSU/BusyBox package flashed, when you install Superuser from the android market and try to update the binary, it *appears* to revert back to an older version of the binary?
-> After updating the binary through Superuser (despite the appparent reversion), if you un-install Superuser, and try to run RootChecker, does it work?
Sorry, i know it is a lot and i'm not much help, i'm troubleshooting blindly and from a distance haha.

you need to install a kernel with /system writing enabled. Such as lk's or cubed
htc has a line wrong in their code and it makes it so that /system cant be edited while booted into android, only while in recovery. Installing a kernel that fixed this bug will let you use supersu from the play store and other apps such as adfree which need to edit system files to function

Even with a writeable kernel SuperSu gives a hiccup at first. Download SuperUser, update the binary of SuperSu, then uninstall SuperUser. SuperSu will be fine after that.

Quite a few of us running a version of Supercharged Hatka had problems when they switched to SuperSu,but now they switched back to SuperUser and the problem hasn't reared its head.
i reverted back to the official sony ics recently(by a generic file) then i wasnt able to root using the doomlord's toolkit, so i flashed mesa hybrid kernel v4.2, and I rooted my phone.

Reflash Rom, then reflash kernel.again.
Do not do rooting stuff as it is for locked bootloader.
Since your BL is unlocked.
Flash kernel has pre-rooted feature.

Glad to help you ..
Next time, you could just install custom kernel, download a rooting flashable zip file and install it via kernel's Recovery. I do it often, because I prefer to use Clockworkmod's Superuser and by that zip file, I avoid any kind of problems.

Haven't experienced the TWRP issue but I was able to make a nandroid backup with TWRP and it mounted external SD (haven't tried to restore), but regarding your issue. I installed Wanam Xposed to fake my status from Custom to Official and did an OTA update from M13 to M15. I lost root and used chainfire again to fix it (I originally updated to get the native hotspot working since it's for M15 only). Hope that helps!

Make sure you install the exposed framework, the link is in the description on the play store. Once installed, make sure to update it under framework settings, then activate the xposed module under module settings. Now you'll have access to flag it as official
Did both those steps and it is still not sticking I'm confused like no other at this point lol. I do appreciate the replys. Still trying to figure it out so if you think of something I'll be watching this thread.

I can only guess that your SU is not working properly, are you getting the prompts to gain root access? worst case, reinstall superuser.
Yea su is working. Prompts for su access when I open root apps.
