I am fairly new with using android phones, and I am encountering that error when I am attempting to update Superuser. I'm using a Samsung Admire SCH-R720 Android 2.3.4 and I rooted it with the One Click root. I've downloaded titanium backup, Root Checker, and terminal emulator to make sure I am really rooted. I've tried uninstall/reinstalling superuser, installing the superuser update fixer(which said signatures matched), and clicking on automatic update. Current version of SU Binary is 2.3.1-ef and everything in the update is fine until it gets to "Copying su to /system... fail!". Superuser does request for rights when it asks to gain root access which I click on Allow. I am also not sure if busybox installed correctly or not, but the Root Checker program I installed said busybox was installed.
Code:
Downloading manifest... okay!
Parsing manifest... okay!
Latest Version = 3.0
Checking installed version = 2.3.1-ef
Fixing Database... okay!
Downloading custom busybox... okay!
Checking md5sum... okay!
Checking current install path... /system/bin/su
Downloading new binary... okay!
Checking md5sum... okay!
Gaining root access... okay!
Remounting /system as rw... okay!
Copying su to /system... fail!
I got the same problem with my Galaxy S. Then I opened BusyBox Installer and it said that I have multiple busybox installed. I found busybox in /system/xbin and /sbin but the file size of the one in /sbin seemed abnormal, just 402 bytes. So I reinstalled busybox to /sbin. And rerun the superuser update after that. The fail has gone.
What program did you use to explore your system files?
Astro file manager
I only have busybox in system/xbin. I tried reinstalling busybox and i still get the same error when trying to update Super user. How can I uninstall Busybox? Please give a step by step if possible since I have no clue what the hell I am doing lol.
Edit 2: Er... I tried installing it also in system/bin, and it SEEMS like its working. Seems it's installed in 3 places, on my sd, bin, and xbin. It works now, so I won't touch it lol. Thanks for the help.
Hi everyone,
Same problem for me too.
after installed busybox in system/xbin using busybox installer downloaded from android market, the problem with superuser update was fixed.
I used in samsung galaxy s2..
Thank u

Or you can do it manually...as posted by the OP (@theraver) in a different thread :
binary: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11494687/superuser/su
to install do this:
Update to superuser 3.0.5 in the market (if you didn't do this)
adb remount
adb push su /system/bin/
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
adb shell rm /data/data/com.noshufou.android.su/databases/permissions.*

lost root on HTC sensation?
I updated to 3.06 and also updated the binary...but then it seems I've lost root after I did that. I am not sure how to clear the data if I can't get into titanium backup?? I am using a HTC sensation.
Any ideas how I can fix it? Do I just flash the su file again in recovery?
Thx

Hi,
I've got a gt-p5113 running cm9, happily. Yesterday I told chainsdd's superuser app to check for an updated su binary. It found one, updated to su 3.1.1, now running su gives Segmentation fault. I downloaded su 3.1.3 from chainsdd's website as a .zip. applied the update in cwm recovery, /system/bin/su and /system/xbin/su Segfault.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions?
Fixed: upgraded to cm10 and voila, no more segfault.
Still, segfault is a pretty ungraceful way to fail on cm9. Hope this report helps.
So I've rooted my HTC eplorer, installed link2sd etc... now im getting "su binary outdated" and when i try to upgrade it it gives me something like this
Code:
Downloading manifest... okay!
Parsing manifest... okay!
Latest version = 3.1.1
Checking installed version = 2.3.2-efgh
Fixing database... okay!
Unpacking sutools... okay!
Checking current install path... /system/bin/su
Downloading new binary... okay!
Gaining root access... okay!
Remounting /system as rw... okay!
Copying su to /system... fail!
I've googled and tried "SU Update fixer" which gave me signatures OK (I also tried force fixing) and tried BusyBox Installer which when i opened the app and tried installing it gave
"Installing busybox v1.20.2 failed. we have detected that your system cannot function with this version of busybox. Please try installing a different ROM or fixing your system. Error:
reloc_library[1312: 2141 cannot locate 'android_reboot'... CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE"
Now i have no idea what to do next... any help?
Thanks in advance
p.s. im havent tried any ROM yet
