Okay so everytime i open an App that needs a super user permission, a notification shows up saying my "#su binary" is outdated. So I tried updating it but it fails. I researched and read somewhere to update is manually. So i downloaded an Su Binary and replaced the old one with this new one. It worked and all but heres the problem. The old apps that are granted Superuser Permission is no longer in the list. When i open them it says "superuser not granted" and doesn't give me the option to allow or always allow.
So here's my question, how to i allow superuser permission again?
You have to get busybox from the market first then u can update superuser

T_T It was denied superuser Access, also rom manager is denied superuser access. How do i fix this
Sorry for double post but after using the Root checker, i found out my phone was no longer rooted. So i used oneclickuser again and rooted it. It returned it to Su Binary v2.3.1-ef from v3. The build and the baseband version are still the same. Yay, i think i just messed up on replacing that SU file instead of actaully updating it.
Well I hadthe same issue then installed busybox and it fixed it. But deleting something something u need someone that can help more than me lol. All else fails start over ...... I just learn by xda what I did wrong and if that don't work I start from scratch lol. Hopefully. Someone will help u soon.

Do you have the Superuser app installed? The su binary requires this to work properly.

when i read this i realized it wasnt but even after i installed it it still gave me the same problem on terminal, idk if it the actual rom that i installed or what?
first of all, did you root your phone? by any method? if you did, download titanium backup from the market, and when you open it, it will tell you that you dont have root access, press the problems? button, and it will prompt you with a box that has the option to get busybox, just press that button and most of the times this will fix this root permission issue
Alright, so I'm new to XDA, this is my first thread, and I am also slightly ignorant about rooting. I have an Evo 4G running Cyanogen 7. The problem that I am addressing here is that my phone is telling me that it's not rooted, even though it plainly is, as I am running Cyanogen, and not Sense. Apps like Rom Manager and SetCPU are telling me that I don't have Superuser, and terminal emulator says "permission denied" when I type in su. But, there is a Superuser app in my app drawer.
Anyone have any similar problems or know how to fix this one? Thanks
Hello. I cannot diagonse what your exact issue is but I can offer some suggestions. Go download the su binary file and flash it via your recovery and see if that fixes it. Otherwise try "rooting" it again, in other words, re-executing the exploit to acquire root. For the latter option i reccomend removing the current su program first.

Where can I download the su binary file...?
would have just asked in :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142872&page=67
but i don't have enough posts, and don't want to spam a bunch of useless "cool" posts to get my count up.
Anyways,I did every thing in that topic and have CM7 running fine on my Cell South Showcase. But, i don't seem to have root access superuser is there but seems to do nothing. i tried checking via the terminal with just a "su" command and got nothing. Tried Superoneclick (my go to rooter for awhile) and it just hangs at "looking for device" . and, Z4 seems to not work with 2.3.4 phones.
So is there any fix to this, or have i just hit some crazy bug?
I have seen some people allude to changing the kernel, but the last time i tried to upgrade/change the kernel on this phone i had to save it via odin
Don't you HAVE to be rooted in order to run cm7?
i know, it breaks all logic
i just know i cant grant superuser to anything, busybox installer says it isnt rooted, and Titanium cant do anything

Clear data on superuser app and/or uninstall/reinstall it.
Ah,I see.. yes, try above. If no. Maybe wipe and reflash?
ok cleared the data, did nothing
can you ever uninstall/reinstall superuser?

Yup just an app
Also:
i have already flashed via Odin back to stock once and did the whole CM7 flash again from a fully clean rom
ok, Flashed Superuser 3.0 beta 3
no go, says my SU binary is out of date, and the app crashes when it tries to update it
checked my bin and xbin, both have a "SU" file in them
in terminal when i CD in to both folders and try to run "SU" i get an error that looks like it is trying to relocate a library and failing to do so
Can i just download the new SU binary my self and manual drop it in to the folders?
well that didnt work, cant modify anything in the system folder so i cant delete that old "SU" and replace it with the one from the superuser 3.0 apk
LOL
well i got it to let me replace the SU in /bin but not in /xbin
so now i got some half confused phone, i can grate Superuser "superuser" but when it tries to update or do any thing the log says "gaining root access....fail"
i still dont know how i have have a CM7 phone that by it very nature is rooted that thinks it is not rooted
ok for anyone who cares, i just gave up flashed via odin back to stock and tried the MIUI port, worked great once i fangled MMS in to working again
I had a similar problem, at which point I grabbed stericson's busybox app from the market which allowed me to flash a working busybox which after a reboot or two and running the installer again fixed me up..there is an app called root checker that can give info on su, superuser.apk, and busybox installs
I am almost positive that when I used jrummys busybox installer our killed root access on my phone. I had superuser.apk but without busybox it was rather useless as no apps could get root. the fix was flashing busybox 1.19.0 and leaving it in xbin and letting the app do its thing once I had rebooted.. then I rebooted again and everything was fine! after bring rooted for so long I don't think I could function without it!
for others out there, my experience has been this: stay weary of the jrummy busybox installer...its never given me anything but problems...and honestly unless busybox is borked, or ya have a damn good reason to upgrade or downgrade my suggestion is to leave it! the potential problems that can arise (for me every time, using jrummy's version..3 times) can be a pain!

i had the same issue but dont recall if it was CM7 that did it or not but i think it was.
i had to completely blow out the phone and start from scratch.
if i recall, CM7 uses a different version of SuperUser and it just want bonkers on me but completely blowing everything out reformatting and everything seemed to work.
If you're on CM7 already, you should be rooted. If not, try SuperOneClick (Google).
Hey guys.
I lost root access after flashing tweakmod coming from Gummy.
Root check seems to think I have it, SU apk is there, I just can't grant access. I tried updating busybox with no luck and SU didn't have an update.
lil help?
Try setting settings (lol) in the su app to "always allow" and see what happens.

This has been an issue mentioned a number of times across a number of threads - the best solution seems to have been to go to androidsu.com, download the superuser zip, and flash it.
Also, I would force the binary to update in the superuser app.
Go to Prefrences>Binary then update, and it will tell you that your binary is current, but update it anyways.
i just rooted my phone using motochopper. and am trying to use ltm launcher. every time i open it, it says root context not able to get permission.
and then when i go to the superuser, it says the superuser binary (su) must be updated. and it ask if i want to recovery install or just install, but none of it works. i even downloaded supersu from chainfire and it says there is no su binary installed. so i need help getting root permission to apps so i can get lmt launcher to work.
i read an old post with they guy with the same problem and u told him to flash it with something but i am not really sure how to do that. so if u can kind of explain how to do that.
thanks

Just installing the super user app from play store doesn't root your phone.
SuperUser app only manages root permissions. It itself does not root the phone. Head over to your xda section and read there how to root your phone .

Like I've said I have already rooted my phone using motochopper. That's not the problem. The problem is not getting super user updated

Did you follow the official rooting procedure as given in your xda forum? Because if your phone is rooted then you won't face any problem related to SuperUser app and updating binary and all these stuffs.
I've had the same problem as listed above.
