You shouldn't have to install su. If I were you I'd run through the root process again, and I mean redownload the files again and check for proper adb & driver setup.
Edit: Actually first open up super user and see if Rom manager has been allowed. Also, can you boot into recovery?

Superuser is blank nothing is there and I can not reboot in to recovery

Were you using the Three click root method or the manual ADB root method?
Sounds like you didn't fully root. I recommend you root again using this method:

But before that to ensure you have adb setup, download and install this:

Download Busybox, install, reboot, then see if all is well.
I agree with getting busybox off the market, but that shouldn't stop you from getting CWR to install, but you may need it for other apps that require it. I had the exact same problems when I rooted and I just restarted my phone 3-4 times and it worked...
I tried busy box I tried everything I could think of

Hi everyone. I searched the forums and couldnt find an answer to this question.
My friend brought over his captivate to update on my PC (since his wouldnt recognize his Captivate). He was running rooted stock. I updated and he wanted to root again so we are trying to root using SuperOneClick v1.7. We run SuperOneClick and it says it was successful. Superuser is listed in the apps. Whenever we try to run a app that requires root access (Titanium Backup, Screen Shot IT) it was that they can not acquire root privileges. Can anyone tell me what we might be doing wrong? I appreciate any help.
Did you reboot after rooting?

I'm trying to root the samsung galaxy s 4g. I used SuperOneClick to do so. I tested to ensure it was rooted with root check etc and it is. I downloaded ROM Manager and installed the clockworkMod for my phone. When I attempt to back up current ROM it reboots and leaves me at Appling Multi-CSC and the options to reboot etc and I reboot with nothing happening. The phone works fine after words. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks.
Lol rom manager
Don't install ROM manager. It doesn't work for our phone. Search aroubd in here for cwm final or something like that.

If you follow this step-by-step, you will have GB with Voodoo cwm red.
quick question, I see in cwm under mounts and storage you can format /system. If I do that would I lose cwm while i'm in it? I'm figuring I would just have to reflash but I don't want to do it and be sol. Just looking for some reassurance.

The recovery file on Froyo is located in /system/bin. On my Gingerbread ROM it's found under /sbin. I believe it needs supporting files, though, so even though it's in /sbin on GB I can't say whether you'd be hosed or not.
Regardless, why would you want to format /system anyway? You might as well just flash a new ROM, eh?
/scratches head...why would you want to do that? I don't think you would lose CWM but I do know that doing a data wipe would probably be potentially less destructive if you are having issues and you definitely would not lose CWM.

Yeah I can get in download mode, I've tried various things several times. I just can't get any PC to see my phone. But it sees my wifes fine. She has the galaxy s 4g but its untouched. I was told I may have screwed up some files within the phone because of using

Tried to OTA and keep root and not factory reset(had to re-root and install recovery but no factory reset!) and went through a interesting process and thought maybe someone could improve on it to save time and keep apps and data.. Ok so I decided to update my tab via ota and try and save root and recovery(currently using CWM). I got voodoo ota rootkeeper and I backed up superSU, then did temp un-root, backed up apps and data through titanium backup, well sorry backed up then temp un rooted with voodoo, did all my other backing up and started download of 4.1.2 update, tablet did normal download and shut off and went to Android screen, loaded some then went to CWM automatically and asked i wanted to flash un-trusted zip, to say the least I was nervous but ok'd it and it loaded and then poped up again in CWM after it finished flashing zip and said ROM may flash stock recovery on boot but this can be undone! ! I was reluctant once again but I ok'd it and WALLA it rebooted normally with new 4.1.2 except it said update failed or interrupted I closed that screen opened voodoo rootkeeper restored rood and again WALLA root. I haven't tried to reboot to recovery yet but root seems fine and tablet is same as before update, exact same as if nothing ever happened. Need input because I'm not a developer just a flashaholic!

Works fine and and never had to factory reset during update process. All of this was done by just trying I guess, don't know if or how close I was to bricking so any info would be great.

Less complicated yes but I didn't have to factory reset either, and the OTA went through without having to un-root, Odin and Kies factory reset and sometimes OTA will not go through when rooted so I figured it was worth a look! Sorry for wrong forum! And thanks focussoft for instructions and links!

I used towelroot on my galaxy s5, but I think I need to have cwm or twrp installed as well and I don't know how, I'm new at this. First time rooting a phone and I really need some help with this. I want to install custom roms. All I've done so far is get root access and downloaded apps like titanium and super user, but I honestly don't know what they are for. Any advice is much appreciated.
Ok first off have you checked to see if you have full root access by using a root checking app? if not try this one to check : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck . If you have full root access and you want to go straight ahead to flashing a recovery then download an app called Rom manager to flash CWM on your device (Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager ) then you choose the flash CWM and choose your phone modle. then it downloads and installs. after it tells you its installed then reboot in recovery either using the "reboot" button in the app or using the default button sequence. this is just to confirm CWM has installed properly. To use CWM you use your power button to confirm action or choose action, and volume keys to move around. once you confirmed CWM has been installed choose the "reboot" option

Thanks for the reply. Yes I have confirmed that it's rooted, and I tried the method you described to install cwm, but when it reboots it says error, invalid signature, or something like that. And then I just have to reboot like normal? Do you know what can be causing this problem?
Did you make sure you confirmed your phone model and let it install? like so?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes, I chose galaxy s5, it downloads, then I hit reboot, and it doesn't work.
First off have you granted superuser permissions to the app? thats probably the issue.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You might be right, how do I do this. Also the super user I downloaded asks me if I want to disable Knox, should I do this?
When you used towelroot wasnt superuser already installed as a part of the root procces?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No it wasn't
Hmm ok then hmm, dont disable knox and continue with the superuser app, try to post screenshots also, they help figure it out
