I'm running CM7.1 on my ZTE Blade and yesterday i've tried to update both superuser and su (since new versions have been released). The su update failed and now when i try to check the su version it says "Legacy"
If i try to update, the phone stucks at "Getting root privileges" both on Superuser and Superuser Fixer
What should i do?
I've got the same problem on my Xperia X8 with the stock rom, it seems that the problem is that the updating progress fails at a point where the old binary has already been removed, but the new one hasn't been placed yet, leaving you with a non-rooted phone.
Seeing how I've never tried doing some real programming for Android I wouldn't know how to get the new binary in.
I've tried installing an update.zip containing both the full SU with .apk and a version with only the binary, but to no avail.
Trying to reroot my phone using SuperOneClick results in SOC freezing (might be a problem with windows 7, as I have upgraded recently).
If anyone knows a way to fix this issue, I'd be very grateful.
For now I've fixed my problem reflashing the old su and superuser from cwm. You can grab them from downloads.androidsu. com/superuser

This is the right way to fix it.
So I just download an old version from there and install it using xRecovery?
The binary just being update hour ago. Try to update again.

Yes, or any other recovery.
Hi,
I am trying to root my SGS2 and I haven't rooted a phone before. I am using CF-Root and have followed the instructions on:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
That all seemed to work and when I boot my phone I get the yellow triangle, etc. But, according to Root Checker my phone isn't rooted and if I try to run an app that requires root then it doesn't work.
Do I need to do anything other than flashing the CF-Root tar in Odin to root the phone?
I used the following kernel (my phone was previously using LPC so I assume this is correct):
CF-Root-SGS2_BU_VOD_LPC-v5.4-CWM5.zip
I have searched and can't find any answers so hopefully someone here can help.
Thanks,
Jon
flash the same again an this time ull b rooted
as rock23 said reflashing should solve that issue. If you are missing the SU specifically. Then you can install it from the market.
Thanks for the quick replies. I flashed again but it's still not working. Just in case it helps, I flashed a third time but still no luck. Odin seems to run properly and reports success. But Root Checker says:
Superuser: Not found
Busybox: Not found
Su location: Not found
Sudo location: Not found
And if I ran an app that needs root then I am not prompted to allow it, etc, and the app doesn't work. Any suggestions for what I should try?

Sorry, I might be misunderstanding this, but I can't find su on the market. There are apps like superuser, etc, but I can't find anything that delivers su. Shouldn't that have come with CF-Root or do I install it from somewhere else?

Install super user from here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su&feature=search_result
Thanks. I have now installed super user but 'su' is still missing.
In super user preferences it says "Su binary vnull" so I tapped that to get an update. Super user says "New version of su binary found" and I click "Update" but that fails with the error "Failed to find currently installed su binary".
I can't see how I get this su binary.
Flash a different CF root firmware .
Ignore root checker .
Reboot and you should have CWM apk open that and if it works check recovery works .

Thanks, I think I'll have to try a different CF Root kernel because the one that's meant to be for my Kernel definitely isn't installing some of the things that I think it should.

I dont thik you have to flash different again,
have you opened atleast once the Supe SU application, there is a binary updatin, at your first opening, may be alright after that and a reboot.
I am currently using LPC cf-root on my LP8 rom without any treble....
The weird thing is that I couldn't even find SuperSU on the phone after flashing with CF-Root...I definitely had an insecure kernel but the other things needed for root didn't seem to be there (or at least didn't work). I gave up with CF-Root and tried the root method described on the following link and that worked first time (although wifi then broke until I changed to a static IP):

I had this problem. No superuser installed after flashing. Couldn't update su binary with superuser. Here is how do you solve this issue:
1) install superuser from market
2) flash manually su binary with cwm http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip
3) open superuser go through prefences and check updates if any.

Hey guys,I have noticed a few problems after rooting my Galaxy S3(this tutorial).
- My SuperSU crashes often (usually soon after booting up the phone)
- I can't access the "user info" part of the menu (that part of the Settings where you can
enter your own message and it displays on the lock screen),after I click on it I get an error message saying "settings has closed"
And now for a stupid question: could I have rooted an already rooted phone?
(I'm asking this because I had my phone SIM unlocked right after I bought it,and it might have been rooted then,I'm not sure.
Although,before I rooted I downloaded 2 different root-checker apps and checked whether or not I'm rooted,and they both said NO.)
U used cf-root,best choose.open supersu app,if it ask u to update binaries press yes.
If u already did this then swipe to the last page scroll down to "reinstall from market" when done restall from play store,open supersu update binaries.done

Reboot and try again,if it doesn't update,Then u are not rooted.
Reflash cf-root using Odin.it rarely happens that root isn't applied properly,but it does happen.
Reboot and update binaries
Thank You very much,I will root again using the same method.
Should I first wipe anything,or unroot...? Or should I just go through the same process again.
OK,I have just finished reflashing the Odin root,and everything is the same.
Now when I try to open the CWM app,I get the error message: "SuperSU has stopped",
and then the CWM app opens.
I gave Superuser permission for CWM,now it doesnt work properly.
It seems every app breaks down after I give it permission.

CWM app is a bit useless on SGS3 until its updated .
Go to Play uninstall Super User and reinstall can clear a misbehaving SU.

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.
Hi,
I have succesfully updated my razr xt910 to official JB using RSDLite and UK ROM but failed to restore the root from OTArootkeeper.
Went on many threads and found one "easy way" to root the device using virtual box and rootbionic.ova. It ended up success and I see the superuser icon in my phone.
Problem is everytime I open the superuser app, it asks me to update the superuser binary and it always failed.
What should I do next? Please help.
Thanks.

Hi, thank you very much! Now my RAZR is already ROOTED.
It just that all the confirmation dialog box from superuser now appear in Chinese. Do I still need to install the superuser from Cyanogen?
Because everytime I open the superuser app from Cyanogen, it is strangely always asking me to update the superuser binary, and although the status was success, when I open the superuser app again, the same thing happens again.
But yes, the superuser is working. I have tested it with DroidWall and Root Uninstaller.
Many thanks
