Hi! I have lost root access after recently updating my HTC Evo 4G. I checked with 'root checker' with the following response. I have looked at previous posts but none of them fit. Can someone help?
Thanks in advance.
Root Access is not properly configured or was not granted.
Superuser.apk - com.noshufou.android.su - version 2.3.6.3 is installed!
System Environment PATH: /sbin /vendor/bin /system/sbin /system/bin /system/xbin
The adb binary is set to default shell user access as a standard non-root user
Standard su binary location: ls -l /system/bin/su:
-rwxr-xr-x root shell 26324 2011-10-13 22:39 su
Standard su binary location: ls -l /system/xbin/su:
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2011-10-13 22:39 su -> /system/bin/su
Alternate su binary location:
/sbin/su: Permission denied
Alternate su type binary location:
/system/xbin/sudo: No such file or directory
SU binary not found or not operating properly
Try re-rooting .

On 4.1.1 completely stock. I used OTA Root Keeper to retain root successfully.
TiBu and Root Explorer were already running as root and still get root access.
Any new apps never prompt for superuser authority??
Root Checker Pro says I'm rooted,
OTA Root Keeper says:
x Superuser app installed
x Device rooted
Root permission granted
x /system supports root protection
x Protected su copy available
I tried to install SuperSU but that also failed, it doesn't
prompt for superuser rights so it can't write the su
binary.
I'm confused, what changed? how do I fix it?
I can't go into details now but your su binary is the problem. Do not uninstall anything that still has root as you will lose it. I can go into more details when I get to the office later this morning.

Thanks, I do have root access from adb I should be able to push a new binary
then set its perms, from adb shell.
Where would I find the binary I need?
I was using Superuser.apk and its binary.
Shouldn't OTA rootkeeper have saved a copy?
it says I have root, and it has copy somewhere.

I had exactly the same problem when I first upgraded from ICS to JB. Thought I had root until I decided to try AdAway. I uninstalled AdFree and attempted to install AdAway. The install failed stating that I did not have root. Of course I did since AdFree worked, ES File Explorer worked, Terminal Emulator worked, etc. Searched and searched and found discussion which highlighted the su binary to be the issue. Attempted to use the app to update the binary and it failed. I believe (and watch how fast I get corrected!) that the implementation of multiuser support in android is what requires the new versions of superuser and the binary. I documented the permissions of the existing su in /system/bin/ and ensured that I did not have another in /system/xbin/. Using ES File Explorer I copied and pasted on top of the existing su in /system/bin, checking to ensure permissions were good. You should then be able to download the latest and greatest binary using the app. This was all done with superuser. I have not worked with SuperSU. I crossed my fingers and restarted the tablet. I was good to go and have full root.
Please note that others have come back and stated that it did not work for them. I can tell you what worked for me and why I believe it did. I will add the link to the post discussing this problem as soon as I find it again.
Check out this thread which worked using adb.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183105
[Solved] that seems to have worked
downloaded updated su binary
adb pushed to /sdcard
adb shell
Code:
/system/bin/su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv /system/su /system/su.bak
cat /sdcard/su > /system/bin/su
chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
exit
adb reboot
Sorry if this is post in the wrong spot.
I am running slim rom 4.2.2.build.8 on I535 (rooted). Woke up this morning and root is no longer working. I did not try to update anything. Ran root checker pro and got this. (see below)
Now if I try to root again and use Odin do I use a file for the baseband verizon I'm on (I535VRBLK#) or the android version the custom rom is on (4.2.2)?
Thanks for any help.

Can someone please walk me through updating supersu? I belive this is the problem I am having preventing me from full root access on my galaxy s4 mk2 build.
This is what shows on root checker pro.

When I open supersu after running the script it says to update binaries but no matter how many times I reboot and try again they won't update.
Thanks for any help, Chris
