The command box that worked through the root on my laptop said the root was successful, so that isn't what I'm worried about. The problem is that when I go under preferences through Superuser and attempt to update the su binary, it reads the following:
>Downloading manifest... okay!
>Parsing manifest... okay!
>Latest version... 3.0.3.2
>Checking installed version = legacy
>Fixing database... okay!
>Checking for busybox... not found
>Downloading custom busybox... okay!
>Checking md5sum... okay!
>Checking current install path... fail!
>Failed to find currently installed su binary.
>Update cannot continue
If anyone knows what to do, that would be great... Thanks!
It looks like its not installed properly, or you're not rooted. The install path should be system/bin/su
First make sure you're rooted. Try this little guy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck
Or if you have a terminal emulator, type in su at the prompt. If all is well your prompt should change to a "#".
If those fail, re root using the method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396650
Good luck! Let us know how it goes!

I had this bad root once also... I was just testing ota rootkeeper coming from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 - and it apparently didn't fully keep root. Had to re-root..

[Re:]
Thank you guys for your help! Okay here we are now...I used dickluo's (cute name by the way, honestly) to try and re-root like jimbridgman said to, and the command box that pops up once I open the .bat file to root again isn't recognizing my phone. I only make it to this prompt:
>Connect device to begin
It won't recognize that my phone is connected to the computer. Any suggestions?

Yes. Turn on usb debugging and allow unknown sources (I think it works with/without unknown sources) <-- both in settings>applications
And put it in charge only mode when you plug it into your computer.
I was curious to see where superuser was installed in my device, so I checked Root Explorer and it was in system/xbin.
So, I moved to system/bin/ and now its saying I'm not rooted when trying to open root applications! Say wha...?

Did you set the permissions? With superuser I always found it better to adb push the file then chmod it.
---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------
here taken straight from the tutorial. I think originally given by the jedi master Jimbridgeman.
type the following commands
---> adb shell (only type this if you are no longer in [email protected])
---> mount -o rw,remount /dev/null /system
---> cat /data/local/su > /system/bin/su
---> cat /data/local/Superuser.apk > /system/app/Superuser.apk
---> chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

Moving apps around in root explorer never and I mean NEVER works. Always use ADB to push pull chmod, etc apps.

I downloaded Titanium Backup, haven't been using it but want ti back up apps for easy recovery after flashing new roms, etc. When I opened TB, it gave me a message about the superuser binary using "non-optimal options rights" and the choice fir TB to fix them itself.
I clicked okay after it said it was successful and rebooted, then opened TB again and same thing. What rights or permissions need to be given to su that I'm missing?

Okay gang, one more question about superuser: I flashed the (updated) Bullet rom zip -which includes all three updates now in one "full install" zip, and checked su location. I see it in both system/bin AND system/xbin. Should I do anything about this, I mean, it seems redundant to be in both folder locations. But, I don't know. (?)

The one in /system/xbin is a link back to /system/bin. It is for legacy compatibility. Don't change anything!

See what apps are still enabled or disabled
Ability to disable\enable ANY installed app on your phone!
Ability to backup your settings
Ability to restore your settings
Directions and Information
Apps will STILL BE DISABLED when you reboot - rooted or not!
Just download the .zip, extract, and run the viperMOD_Bloat_Manager_v3.1.1.bat file from your computer.
To run this, go into Terminal and type "su" (without quotes) then "viperbloat" (without quotes) and it will run. You can also set Terminal Emulator to run this right when you run the app by going to Menu > Preferences > Initial Command > Press "Enter" > type "su" (all lowercase, no quotes) > press Enter > type "viperbloat" (all lowercase, no quotes)
You can also run this through ADB on your computer by doing adb shell then ""viperbloat" (all lowercase, no quotes). Much easier to read the app list!
You can MAJORLY screw up your phone by using this! Be mindful of what you're playing with and if you really mess things up, just reboot and reroot.
Here is a helpful link to what some of the apps are.
Known Issues
None!
Download flashable .zip HERE
Download .bat HERE
Special Thanks to:
Netarchy for some great shell scripting help!
freeza and ffolkes for their initial thread which I based the script on!
agrabren for getting the E3D rooted!
xdviper for the build.prop info needed for Sensation support!
Let me know if I forgot anyone!
giving this a go now. ill report back ;-)
Cant seem to get this to work. i just type viperbloat in adb or terminal emualtor and it says not found. then i type /sdcard/viperbloat and i get permission denied?
ran through terminal emulator and just removed safe bloatware and recommended. no errors and ill report back how it does for my battery life. there is a option that says no recommended and i followed it because i didnt want to start from scratch. So far i give this app a thumbs up.
Thanks for the hard work.

Did you run the .bat file? Run it again.
And I assume you guys have the same deal as the EVO 3D and we are using /vendor for /system (symlink)? That's how I have it setup is to push it to /vendor/bin and chmod. Please let me know.

FILES WERE ATTACHED. I HOPE IT IS VIRUS FREE BUT I CANNOT PROMISE AS THERE MAY BE SOME TROJANS BECAUSE I DOWNLOADED AT SOMEWHERE. You've been warned. That's why I placed the list of files originally.
0. Your system must be in version 2.3.6 or below, which can be rooted by motofail. Do double wipe before you flash.
a) Place the following files in the same folder:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
motofail
su
Superuser.apk (script default) / supersu.apk
b)(optional) Prepare the modified RSDlite which can flash any roms...
c) Prepare the Motorola driver and install it.
d) use notepad to create a script (root.bat)(provided below) and save it in the same folder with the files above.
1. Connect your phone to the computer. You'd better install the drivers for your phone first. Turn on "USB debugging" and connect it as "charging mode".
2. You CANNOT unplug your usb cable and you CANNOT close the rooting program/script in the whole process.
3. Run the root.bat.
4. it will push some files into your phone and reboot your phone.
5. You will see the caution symbol with the Android robot.
6a. Flash your rom by the stock recovery
OR
6b(i). Pull the battery out.
6b(ii). HOLD the volume-down button and put the battery back.(Power ON) It will boot into the AP mode. (If you can see the blank secreen but not showing "USB CONNECTED, FLASH OK" , release the volume button or retry)
6b(iii). run the RSDlite to flash your rom
7. The phone will reboot and update few(1-3) times.
8. The phone will be rooted after the final reboot.
9. Take out your SD card and do factory reset. (The root will be kept) (I found this may solve some problems)
Script is here :
Code:
@echo off
cls
adb kill-server
adb wait-for-device
adb.exe shell mv /data/local/12m /data/local/12m.bak
adb.exe shell ln -s /data /data/local/12m
adb.exe reboot
adb.exe wait-for-device
adb shell rm -r /data/local/tmp
adb shell mkdir /data/local/tmp

adb.exe reboot recovery
echo The phone will boot into the recovery mode
echo please follow the tutorial for the rooting process
echo do not close this window

adb push su /system/bin
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app
adb shell chmod 666 /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb shell rm -r /data/local/tmp
adb shell mkdir /data/local/tmp
echo Your phone is rooted!!!

Questions may help:
1. did you flash it back to 2.3.6 First?
2. Did you root the 2.3.6 successfully by the batch?
3. Flashed the 4.0 after root with no Window closed?
4. Always connected with usb?
5. Usb debugging enabled?
6. No superuser.apk? May be you don't need to do factory reset after rooting. Please let us kvow.
If all yes, please tell us your 2.3.6 version too. E. G. 55.109.xxx

I'm having a problem with my GPS signal on Infuse.
I cannot get any satellites connection, moreover the phone does not see any satellites in GPS Test. (I had phone sitting outside for quite some time and nothing happend, while other phone with the same GPS test got fix within seconds).
I thought that the problem was in ROM I've been running, first CM10 and then Paranoid, but today I flashed back to stock hopeing that it was faulty flash of ROM but .... no connection at all.
Does anyone ever had similar problem or knows the solution?
I'm using my Infuse in Europe (Poland) if that matters at all to any of the settings.

yes, it seems like it is working right.
I even upgraded the ROM to see if that would make a difference but the same thing happens.
I cannot save any gps.conf file (i found two of them, one in system/etc, and the other one in etc/ - or is it the same location ?)
regards the new rom - i'm running the newest release of PA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1742073) that supposed to have the best GPS so far.
the wierd thing is, i've tried to change the permission of that file in total commander but it gave me an error message saying that the file is "read only", but when i downloaded faster fix from market to change the ntp file it did it right away.....
Can it be a hardware issue ??

remount /system r/w
try this command in terminal emulator or adb shell
sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
if you do this from adb you might need to grant it superuser permissions from a popup on the phone screen or you might get a permission denied error.
then try to edit and save gps.conf

try changing the file permissions again. try it in command line.
su
cd /system/etc
ls -l
(this should print the files in the folder and show the permissions, note what the permissions for gps.conf are i'm guessing wr-r--r--)
chmod 666 gps.conf
then edit the file.
now if the permissions for the file were wr-r-r- then the proper code to set it back to is 644
after you edit the file go back to command line and type
su
cd /system/etc
chmod 644 gps.conf
This time it worked. I types the settings from the code, rebooted but after 15 minutes or so sitting outside with gps test on still could not get any satellites in view. Also i can no longer edit gps.conf (after the reboot). I tried changing the attributes to 666 like before but now i'm getting info in terminal emulator that the file is read only...

You have to remount /system again. For some reason some ROMs don't let some apps do this even if it's a root app. You might be able to leave GPS.conf as 666 or 664 permissions but you will always have to remount /system rw after a reboot. Root explorer is usually good with being able to Mount rw but it might also be some configuration file in the rom so I don't know if buying root explorer will solve that for you.
Edit; if you are on a stock ROM and see no satellites you may have some weird error that needs a factory reset, when the GPS is completely stuck like that a full wipe through settings might help. I don't really know why this is but it seems to help sometimes. First thing to do is back up anything important to your computer. A reset through setting even formats the sdcard. Consider it a last resort but it sometimes helps.

I've ben able to use root explorer with this rom to change the GPS.conf, after you select rw, you have to open the file with a text edit program, make your changes, save the file, and reboot.
I was able to access the file after remounting the system.
But still no satellites in view

So i was updating my CWM version and suddenly in the midway my laptop went beserk.
I had to re-flash my phone..and then the CWM (now back to the old version)
But this strange thing happened.
I used to root my device with a particular zip that always worked.
This time it failed.
I downloaded SuperSU v0.99 and the installation was aborted as no files were found by CWM.
So i downloaded the SU binaries and flashed them. The root checker app said:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then i tried installing SuperSU by chainfire and this popped up.
Then
What should i do now. Unrooted my phone now using a zip given in some previous thread
How to root my phone now.
Tried the steps given in our buddy Mj.Vikrams thread, but to gains. Ugh.
Help!
[EDIT] Solution to the ardatdat's screen freeze problem occurring with few.
Pre-requisite

Yeah..but the ardatdats kernel has some problem with the superuser.
It makes my screen go blank and then i have to remove the battery and restart it.
I used to do the same.
But a possible solution was rooting the phone first and then installing ardatdats kernel.

Busy Box is something that you install on your phone to give you some additional handy LINUX / UNIX based commands. You need Busy Box installed because some commands are not available to you and you made need them for some root level tasks.

It will not root the device if it is already rooted. It checks for the 'su' binary in '/system/bin/' and '/system/xbin/' first.
Code:
#!/sbin/busybox sh
##### Install SU #####
if [ -f /system/bin/su ] ;
then
echo "su already exists in /system/bin/ :)"
else
if [ -f /system/xbin/su ] ;
then
echo "su already exists in /system/xbin/ :)"
else
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm /system/app/SecretWallpaper1.apk
rm /system/app/SecretWallpaper1.odex
rm /system/app/SecretWallpaper2.apk
rm /system/app/SecretWallpaper2.odex
rm /system/app/YouTube.apk
rm /system/bin/su
rm /system/xbin/su
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm /data/app/Superuser.apk
mkdir /system/xbin
cat /sbin/xiaolu/files/su > /system/bin/su
ls > /system/etc/init.lstest.txt

That is because it is already rooted and ardatdats kernal does not apply its root on a rooted phone.
See post by Adam Sir here.
So...that is why...
I want to stay on the Stock ICS with ardatdats kernel to try something...
It has a problem in here.

Buddy, Be specific. You want Root with ardatdat's kernel & not ardatdat's SU..right..???
so, update su binaries using busybox & revert.

You can't update 'su' binaries with busybox. su binaries are a part of the superuser package. Busybox is used to install, update and symlink busybox applets like cp, mkdir, cat, rm, ls etc. Busybox depends on su binaries not the other way round buddy.

when i click root button it goes to download mode i think it flashes the modded kernel there do you see any bar running or it just shows download screen and reboot or else i have a lock bootloader. Have you ever upgraded your phone to android 6.0.1 before, because i think i downgraded successfully but the update to mm locked down my bootloader or something different than you.
please provide the kernel img and log of what your tool do with phone.
