I saw the "extras" in ROM manager and tried the updated Superuser. It showed up in my apps but none of my root apps worked. I had to revert to a backup to get root back. Anyone else tried?

i think the type of superuser depends on the rom your using, and an updated superuser might not work with the one you have. i tried cooking a rom with the "ninja" superuser and it wouldn't work but when i tried the "#" superuser it worked. if your using a custom rom then i would ask the dev if it would support updated superuser apks.
hope this helps...at least a little.
2.2.2 Superuser.apk does not work for me either.
Works ok for me.

May i know how do i stop the Superuser app from auto-updating ?
After updating, there's FC errors and cannot use app anymore.
Need to uninstall update everytime this happens.
Running Insertcoin 3.3.0 but i dun have the permission to ask question on the Dev section ( since i'm a XDA new member ).
Any help would be nice.
Thank you.

Have you cleared the cache from settings/applications/superuser. Go there and clear cache and data there. Reboot and see if the SU app still fc's. That should correct the fc.

Hi
Go into market, search for super user, and you can untick allow automatic updates.
That should stop it until we get a proper fix.
the new update did the same for me, super user couldnt even open up without fc'ing let alone give any apps root access
Dun have the option to disable auto update .... Superuser is in my Rom ... Not installed from market.
Should I uninstall in titanium and reinstall from market ?

If you have 3.0.5 built in, then yes you'd need to use TI. OR flash an earlier version from here:
http://goo-inside.me/superuser/
You have to use the one's with 'efgh' at the end

Hi,
Mine was in the ROM and I was able to look it up in the market and untick auto update.
If you UN install it, then install from market, you will have the bad update!
I wish I was at home.
I've got a flashable SU on my desktop.
Maybe you can wait till tonight when i get home...
DaDoctor responded in the coredroid thread that the superuser app update is borking a lot of roms and the current fix is to go to the app info on the market and uninstall the UPDATES and that should revert you to the prior version. Or you can titanium restore the prior version, that would work as well.
..
same thing with superuser.
problaby.. if i will run Root Explorer.. FC on rootex & superuser.
i am currently on 3.0.5
andy idea how to fix ??
Occasionally I've had problems with superuser also. Maybe an update gone bad or messing with whatever. It's maddening but actually the fix is so simple. Just re-install from recovery the file that you used to get superuser privaledges in the first place. "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip" It may fail (aborted) once, twice, hell, even took a fifth time before successful for me before but it will eventually work. It's that simple. Just re-superuser yourself with that file and all is well in the superuser world again.
I think I will stick with uninstalling updates from application .... When dc pops up again
Flashing in recovery poses a risk ... It's juz me

Hey,
EDIT!: I restored one of my backups with ROM Manager (Which still could restore ROMs? ) and i got my root access back! =)
Sorry if theres already a thread about this somewhere which Google haven't been able to find.
About a month ago i successfully rooted my phone using revolutionary. I tried out a few ROMs and ended up with MIUI 1.11.25, and suddenly i lost root access. Im not sure when this happened, it might have been when i updated from MIUI 1.11.18 to 1.11.25, which i did a couple of days ago,(I wiped dalvik cache and flashed with ROM Manager since the buildt in updater didn't work) or when i tried to update Busybox with an app from the market... :/
Weird thing is, Superuser runs perfectly normal, while almost every other root app i have tells me i need root access to use the application. I tried updating and installing the Su zip file (Binary?) and updating Superuser, but it didn't work .
Another weird detail is that root checker says "Congratulations! You have root access!" While ROM Manager can't run fix permission.
Should i reflash my ROM or a backup? Or is there some weird simple fix to this (Please!)?
Im not a wiz at rooting so if your able to, please put it in simple words
Thanks,
Mikkel

I already tried to look around in the apk and it's settings, but with no luck. As I said earlier superuser runs perfectly : /
Thanks tho
I'm running the ICS leak, and just installed autostarts. It says it failed to change app status, likely because I did not have root access. Now obviously I have root access, being on the ICS leak already. And root still seems to work for root browser, ROM manager's clock calibration tool, and everything else except autostarts (and also Rom manager's autostart tool.)
Now I know that there are hundreds of threads involving this on google and on XDA, but I haven't found one pertaining specifically to the A2 and ICS leak. I'm working on figuring it out myself but I wanted to know if anyone knew about a known issue involving specifically A2 on ICS leak. Doing a restore now to see if autostarts will work with a clean ICS install.
EDIT: Hm... seems autostarts has problems with ICS to begin with. I didn't know that, as my brother's samsung something or other on ICS works just fine. And they say ICS ready right there on the app store page lol...
ICS leak doesn't require root. You may need to re-root using this method:

Yes I suppose I said that wrong. ICS doesn't require root, but I am rooted. I will try re-rooting, but as I said, root works for several other root-requiring apps.

Did you root before or after flashing the leak? Did you clear your caches and wipe data? If not, I would suggest wiping data and clearing cache and dalvik and flashing again. Also, if I helped you in any way, don't forget about that nifty little thanks button...
i was having problems with apps telling me i was unrooted on the ics leak even though i had rooted and some root operations worked.
i installed supersu from the play store and used that to grant permissions to apps instead of the superuser app and that made everything work perfectly.
i have frozen superuser because i like supersu better.
Installed the new ICS leak the other day. Works great but some apps that require root access aren't letting me use them...like titanium backup and rootdim and battery calibration. I am rooted because root explorer let's me edit build.prop, but something is going on.
Any ideas?
Try re running root.bat(windows) or root.sh(think that's it for *nix). I had thought I was rooted but had to run it again.

Disabled superuser and installed supersu..that worked for me
Sent from my MB865 using xda app-developers app
I had the same problem. Used OTA root protector in superuser and after official OTA super was there but did not work properly. I rerooted using the A2 root bat and now superuser is working properly. The only thing not working is that it crashes when you try to do a backup of the permissions, but that is not a big deal for me.
Hello all i just did the 3.15.651.16 update from viper boy and everything was good until i tried to update Su binary in Supersu.. it crashes the phone completely off and restarts every time.. i have tried updating busybox with no success.. anyone have any ideas on what this could be? I have done a full wipe x3 and a few rom installs and all do the same thing.. thanks in advance!
I'm actually getting the same thing. Not sure why but I tried with SuperSU and Superuser and it happened with both. I'm wondering if this is HTC's doing.....
Oh also, you might want to move this to the Evo forum because I only found this from Google and wouldn't have browsed this section of XDA for this issue.

Yeah I know i posted wrong lol.. I also noticed that whatever you do in /system say edit the build.prop always resets at boot as if the file system is a read only.. also can you see if your Navigation crashed.. youd have to be in a car moving but mine crashes bad
Sure I can check. I also noticed that anytime Titanium Backup runs a batch backup job it causes the phone to restart almost immediately
I'm really surprised this isn't all over the place. We can't be the only ones having this issue....

Any update on this? same thing happening to me, installed CWM-SuperSU-v0.99 and still see the instant reboots..

Give the MeanBean ROM by mikeyxda a try! Its great and reliable, worst case if you perform a hard reset flash MeanBean you can go back to your other ROM if you don't like it. At least will let you know if the issues lies in your existing ROM or not. You may even be able to perform a dirty flash back to your present ROM and that could retain the SuperSu from MeanBean.. Hope this helps.
If it did help feel free to hit my thanks button!!
I forgot to check but now when I do it, the phone doesn't restart--it now just says it failed to install the binaries. The phone is still rooted but I guess I can't use advanced features. I still think there's an issue in the /system directory because I can't get Titanium Backup to remove system apps (apps integrated into the ROM).
