Root Confusion - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I posted this in another thread but no help.
I rooted my phone using the one click utility with no problem.
Later, I installed script manager to run a script for the V6 Supercharger mod. Everything installed fine until the very end, at the end of the installation, I received a message that Script manager has stopped working. I then closed it.
Now I'm trying to run a different script, as su, but I receive a "permission denied" message. I entered su into terminal and get the same message, "permission denied".
This led me to believe that I lost root. I tried running the one click utility again but received an error. The error is: "protocol fault ". I'm also unable to update the SuperSU binary; I only get "Installation Failed".
What is going on here? Did I just lose root?

ClockworkMod not working?

Okay so I updated my Nexus S to 2.3.2 through ROM Manager, and when I tried to flash the Trinity kernel after I updated I ROM Manager said it was gonna shut down my phone to flash it, but it just sat there. Then I tried different functions in ROM manager, but I got "Error running privileged commands" (or something like that) I then checked Superuser and ROM Manager was simply not in the list. It did not say that it was declining access, but it also didn't say it was allowing. I decided that I would restore to my backup, but when I went into the recovery it was not the ClockworkMod recovery. It was the stock recovery, but I didn't have any options. At that point I decided to uninstall ROM Manager and install it again hoping it would ask for privileges. It did not.
Any ideas?
open ROM manager and flash clockwork recovery (the first thing on the menu)
When I try to do that I get "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"

Sounds like you're not rooted.
If you're not rooted, the only way you're going to get into clockwork is to use fastboot.
I'm pretty sure that I'm rooted. I was running on Trinity prior to the update. And I still have Superuser.
Superuser apk doesn't necessarily mean you're still rooted with proper permissions.
At least check your /system/bin directory for the su binary (different than the superuser app) and that it has executable permissions.
You could also open a terminal app on the phone and just type su and hit return.
Okay so I downloaded a terminal emulator and typed 'su'
I got permission denied. Does this mean I have to root my phone again? If I will will I have to delete all data?

Yes, it means you must root again.
No, you won't lose everything again if you follow these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931865
Good luck.
edit: you just need to get into clockwork (via fastboot) and then re-run the su update zip file, it will reinstall the su binary and fix any bad permissions.
Sorry for asking for the specifics, but could you explain how one could go about doing that?
Boot into fastboot.
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img
Boot to recovery.
Mount system.
Flash a zip from the SD card and select the superuser .zip.

The link I provided gives step-by-step instructions on how to do it, and links to more complicated steps if you're not too sure about them.
The post just above this does give the basic steps, though.

[Q] Evo rooted running Cyanogen 7, phone is saying not rooted

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...?

[Q] Super User issue

I keep getting an error message when trying to access any program that needs super user permission.
"(process com.noshufou.android.su) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
I have cleared application data, no luck. I have tried uninstalling the SU update, no luck. I have tried downloading the SU Fix from the market, it says all is good, but if I try to force fix anyway, I get the same SU error message and it will not let me go any further. I tried using Root Explorer to find the file listed above, but of course I need SU access to open Root Exporer.
I am now lost on what to do now. CRAAAAPPPPPPP!

Please search before opening a new thread. This has been covered many times already. The latest su has issues and you need to revert to an older one.

[Q] BIG Problem with Super User Permission!

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.

How to fix "SU Binary occupied" error?

Hello, I used Max Lee's root method to root my phone. It went without a hitch until I tried opening SuperSU. Upon opening SuperSU, a dialog said "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?" I selected continue, and another dialog asked "How would you like to install the SU binary?" I select normal. The app indicated that it's installing. Once complete, I got another dialog saying "Samsung KNOX has been detected. This might limit root capabilities and cause annoying popups. Try to disable KNOX?" I selected OK and it then said "Failed to disable KNOX!" For what it's worth, I used all the download links through Max Lee's guide. I then updated SuperSU through the Play Store and now I'm getting an error of "SU Binary occupied" whenever I open the app,
I'm not quite sure what to do from this point forward. I attempted to search the forums here with nothing found. My endgame is to just have a clean Android experience without bloatware. Am I even going about this the right way, or is there a better way to proceed? Thanks.
Edit: Grammar, added some more info
I had the same issue. It was solved as stated in my thread.
