Changing SuperUser Apps - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a pretty generic tablet: PROSCAN PLT9602G I got for free for my kid to use. I got it rooted using Kingoroot and the root was successful.
Kingoroot installed their version Kingo SuperUser and I would like to install Chainfire's SuperSu but am having issues.
I downloaded and installed SuperSu from the play store and grant it su permission via the Kingo SuperUser app.
SuperSu then says it needs to update the binary but fails. I disabled Kingo SuperUser via settings>apps and retried to update SuperSu's binary without success.
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

Hi, thanks for respon. I have installed android app, but still can not change permission from Deny to allow for superuser.
Did Framaroot say it was successful? Have you tested with a root checker app to see if your phone has been properly rooted? Are you using Superuser or SuperSU? What app isn't being granted superuser?

Install SuperSU, let it update the binary, reboot, and try again. If that doesn't work, flash the SuperSU zip via custom recovery to install the app and binary correctly.

Is Superuser Working????

After a complex process to repair my bricked S3 (4.4.2), I rooted the phone with Towelroot (confirmed its rooted) and installed Superuser from the Play store.
I was of the understanding that when Superuser is installed from the Play Store that the binary upgrade is not necessary. However, I have seen no indication that Superuser is working. I explored the system/bin and system/app files with ESExplorer and I got no request from Superuser to allow root access. (there are not Superuser files either location)
I also explored the files with TitaniumBackup Pro and again not peep out of Superuser.
I went ahead and tried the binary update and it fails.
I thought I'd ask for help here before I uninstall Superuser and install SuperSU (I noticed Superuser has been updated since July 2012). At this point I believe uninstalling Superuser would be successful because it is a Play Store install.
Any help/recommendations would be appreciated. As you can tell I'm a novice at this.
NOTE: Just noticed that there are not entries in the Superuser log.
Try rooting with cf-root

Thank you for the recommendation, however, I just went ahead and uninstalled Superuser and installed SuperSU. SuperSU appears to work and is managing root access as it should.
I probably would not have gone the uninstall method with Superuser, however, I installed it from the Play Store and the Play Store installation is reportedly easy to uninstall because it does not put files in system/app or system/bin......at least I read that somewhere and I checked these locations and there were no Superuser files there.
Thanks again.
Superuser is located on /system/app
su is on /system/xbin

SuperSU and Superuser conflict

I used to have the supersu app but i wanted to switch to superuser to i selected the cleanup and switch to other superuser app.
I then installed superuser and attempted to update the binary which failed so i installed the binary manually through recovery.
When i use a root app i get no prompts, if i try temp unroot it doesnt work but if i install super su and install its binary, superuser and all other root apps ask supersu for root access, any help guys?

I would recommend installing SuperSU and the related su binary. From there use terminal emulator to uninstall the related SuperSU files manually, also uninstall the Superuser apk and binary so you'll have a clean slate, then lastly remove the SuperSU su binary, then uninstall the SuperSU apk. Once you have done this I would install the Superuser app (I assume you are talking about Koush's Superuser app and binary), and binary through recovery. After doing this it should allow you to use Superuser. What version of Android are you running? Also keep in mind Koush's Superuser hasn't been updated for a while, which is why for the latest version of Android SuperSU really is the best choice.
Could you give me the steps needed to remove super su and the binary

[Q] Am I even rooted?

Hi. I have a Lenovo A7600-F tablet, and I've been trying to root it. I've heard that iRoot is the best way to root this device, so that's what I did. I went ahead and installed the APK, ran it, and clicked root. It said that it has rooted successfully, so I rebooted, and when I enter iRoot again it says I'm not rooted. However, the Superuser app is still there, and cannot be uninstalled. I click root a second time, and the Superuser app disappears. I reboot, and the Superuser app is back again and iRoot still says I'm not rooted. I installed some root apps and this is the output:
iRoot - Not rooted
Superuser - Not rooted
Root Checker Basic - Not rooted
Some other root checker - Rooted
Root Browser - Apparently rooted
Terminal Emulator - Running the command 'su' puts the number 255 before the typing space
Got Root? -
SU Exists: True
Version: 16 com.mgyun.shua.su
Root Obtained: False
I'm confused. Am I rooted? If I'm not, how do I remove the Superuser app?
By the way, when I look in my device's system files, I can see /system/app/irootsu.apk and /system/bin/su.
halp.

Oh ok. Have you tried other root methods? And sadly you can't or at least shouldn't be able to remove the superuser app

Try installing Chainfire's super su and check again i think you might not have the correct super user app installed when using iroot.
just search the playstore for it
Can you unroot through your Superuser app? If you can, try to reroot using a different method.

[HELP]Apps Are Granting Root Permission Without Superuser App!!!!!!!!

Hi! Guys i am facing a awkward problem
My Device-Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830I aka Cooperve
ROM-ACEJB 2.0 BY BRIJESHP(Stock Based Custom Rom 2.3.6 GINGERBREAD XXLA1)
Kernel-Thunder Kernel 2.6.35.7(Custom Kernel already rooted with busybox)
I have SuperSu v.2.4.7 By Chainfire to manage my root access!
But the app crashes several times so i decided to use another superuser app!
I saw there is an option in supersu called "Switch to another superuser app"
I clicked on it after it is done! I rebooted and installed Superuser by chainsDD
and uninstalled supersu.
I opened root validator to check everything is ok or not.
It said everything is ok!
But suddenly strucks on my mind there is no prompt opened for granting superuser permission(ALLOW\DENY)then how could the app gets root permission!
I opened apps like nofrills cpu control,rom toolbox,link2sd,swapper for root and some other root apps they are working fine but there is no prompt to allow or deny showing up!
I opened superuser by chainsdd it said su binary found and showing its location in green colour!
But in apps sections no app is showing there and logs are also empty.
wHICH strucks me most!
I uninstalled superuser by chainsdd.Now i have no supersuser app but still root apps are working and getting root permission
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
PLEASE HELP ME!
If i will not fix this my device will became vulnerable to threats!
(sorry for my english)
