Hello. I'm on ICS official, rooted. I checked su for updates and it said my version was outdated. I tried to update and it just hung. I checked the market as a backup and it didn't prompt me to update but then I saw an "su update fixer."
Installed that and it said no problems so I checked su again and it still indicated I was outdated. Tried the install updated binary and it failed, twice.
Any ideas?

Already had BB but tried it anyway. Updated my BB then tries su again. Same thing.

Hmm. You did flash su zip in recovery right? Im Basically in the same situation as far as our firmware goes. Official rooted ics but mine goes fine. Maybe try unimstalling su and re download.

Uninstalling and re-installing su and busybox worked for me when I had a similar issue with my tablet. Also, sometimes TiBu can fix binary issues automatically, so that might be worth a shot.
I'll try tomorrow with the uninstall/install. Thanks for the tips and I'll update sometime in the AM.

I uninstalled and updated both and it's still seeing the same problem only now, when reinstalling Busybox, I'm getting the following error:
It looks like Busybox is installed, but it does not appear to be the version that you selected to have installed. You may want to try the installation again but this time using a different installation location.
I tried that twice and got the same thing. I don't know if it's something I need to worry about, something I should reinstall to a different location (if so, where?), or something that could be getting in the way of updating SU.
I had the same problem till i installed goo manager and the new recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622917

I suggest downloading the signed update directly from the source: http://androidsu.com/superuser/
You'll want to download this file:
Code:
3.1.3
md5: b3c89f46f014c9df7d23b94d37386b8a
Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
Which you'll find if you scroll further down the page....
Save the zip file onto your sdcard, boot into recovery and flash it from the recovery. This will work.

I updated SU last night and used the app to push the file and now I can't get root access.
Anyone gotta fix?
Did you set the permissions correctly on the binary?
You need to give more detail otherwise.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
How about you tutor me on how to set the permissions correctly ... if you don't mind.
I used the app to try and update. It would not update successfully through the app so it put a .zip file in /sdcard so I moved to external, to flash and I get a bad file error from CWR
Which app are you trying to update from and which zip are you trying to flash with cwm?

Well, assuming you didn't replace the boot image, you should be able to remount with "adb remount", I suggest you follow my rooting guide from that line, which will also help you with permissions etc.

The problem is the su installed by SuperUser app is not compatible with the Xoom. All you have to do is do a terminal session or use adb with the "adb shell" command which will get you to:
$
type "su" and hit the enter key and it should give you back:
#
If it doesn't, and you get the following:
reloc_library[1315]: 2756 cannot locate '_mktemp'...
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE
The 1315 and 2756 might not be the exact numbers since I didn't note down the exact numbers before I looked up how to root a Android device when one has lost root.
See post #340 in the following thread for the fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117004
This is the previous version of the su binary that was modified to work on the XOOM which is version 2.3.1-ef, hopefully there will be a modified version of 2.3.1-efg available soon.
So the zip file that is put on the SD card is the file that we need to push?

Consider that some updates are incompatible or just bad. I am not allowing the update. I have disabled auto update. My current superuser is just fine, thank you.

No, unzip the zipfile and you will get a file called su which is what you need to push. The zipfile is only for convenience and also so you will know if the file is corrupted or not when you download.

The only reason it worked is because Superuser app (the graphical program in the GUI) and su binary which resides in /system/bin are two different things altogether. Previously, the newest su binary was version 2.3.1-ef so Superuser app will not prompt you to update the su binary as it's the same version as what you already have on your device. When the new Superuser came out, after you open Superuser the first time after the new version it's installed, it prompted and told you that a new version of the su binary is available and if you declined it, you wouldn't have the problem. If you accepted it, it basically replaced the existing su binary and replaced it with the new one which is version 2.3.1-efg. No different than if you had Honeycomb 3.1 installed, it would not update unless the number is greater than 3.1.
The latest superuser 2.3.6.3 update can update the su binary to 2.3.2-efgh now which does update automatically and work correctly on the Xoom.

Thanks for the pointer. When 2.3.6.3 came out and I installed it, it did prompt with the su binary update but I cancelled it while I updated the su binary on my Motorola Droid. So when I saw your post, I went into the SuperUser app and went to settings and clicked on check for Su binary update, it said checking failed so I basically copied the updated su from my Motorola Droid and it works.
I have installed today new custom rom with sense 3.5
Superuser worked fine and also daemon controller.
Market auto updated superuser and then I got always error when I try to open daemon controller this error :
The application superuser (proces com.noshufou.android.su
I also uninstalled the update but still same error..
Yeah the new superuser have that problem, with FC. Try the version 3 or the version 3.0.2
1. Go to settings==>applications
2. Find superuser and tap "uninstall updates". You should be back on 3.0.2
3. Go into your market app and search for superuser. Open the app listing and uncheck "allow automatic updates".

When I open daemon controller works fine also overclocking working.
But when I want to give Es file explorer root acces..
I get again that error.. driving me crazy right now
looks like my phone is not rooted or what
Have you thought about seeing if you can update your Busy Box too? It is a shot in the dark but I know Superuser and Busy Box are closely tied together. Also have you tried to uninstall and then re install the app in question?

Hi,
May I suggest you try to restore to SU 3.0.2
Make a nandroid backup,and flash in recovery.
I installed busybox.. but when it ask for root acces
I click on Allow then the error from superuser comes again...
Do you have apk file for superuser 3.0.2 ??

In recovery get this error :

I had to go into the su app and delete app data, then totally uninstall it completely. Then install an earlier version. That is the only way it stopped force closing for me, uninstalling updates did not work. After you install earlier version go in and update binary, even if it's already up to date. If it updates it and you can press the back button and it does not Fc, then you should be fine .

Download Root Checker from the Android Market. Install it and open it then click on the check for root button. This will tell you if you are rooted.

People need to STOP suggesting this. This is way unsafe and defeats the purpose of the app even having an asking prompt in the first place. It might be a "temp" fix, but it shouldn't even be used!

to solve the SU problems try this su binary
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.*

Did you flash the zip (found in the supersu release thread) in recovery, or just install from the market?
Just getting it from the market won't install the binary needed.
The zip also deletes the SU app and binary. Its the best method for installation.

Obviously, you can't uninstall system apps in the usual way. You need to use something like Titanium backup, or use ADB shell.
Ok, so I went into Root Uninstaller and uninstalled the standard Superuser app but I still get the same message, what is really weird is that whenever an app launches that requires superuser access that Supersu screen pops up and everything works as usual.........
Obviously it's working but I still get that same damn message.......

Hi Guys
I am new at this but I am hoping you can help me. I install TWRP 2 recovery and then wipe cache and delvect and then rooted my Asus tf300t. I used fastboot. Everything went very well. Then I opened Titanium Backup Pro. It tel me it can"t acquire root privileges. Install busy box. So I tried . I Went to Playstore and downloaded it, open it and it says my device is rooted. When I press Install, it says installing Busybox failed. When I open VOODOO OTA Rootkepper Device rooted is checked but not permission granted.
Please Help an Old Girl
Thanks in Advance
Linda
1st look at playstore if there is an udate for su app
Install it
Then open the Su app and update the binaries.
Done
I recommend downloading supersu from the app store and installing it. If you have appropriate root permissions, it should update the su binary for you. If that fails, please post every step you took and the results as best you can remember them.

Happy to help. I was you just a few weeks ago.
I wouldn't remove system apps just yet. If Asus releases another update, and chances are they will, missing system apps can cause update failures, but if you want to do it, you can get a program like root explorer and remove what you don't want from /system/app folder.
As for your install issue, go to settings - security and make sure unknown sources is checked. If it already is, you might be trying to install an incompatible apk, just a guess.

Like i said in the other thread it might have something to with the SU latest binary update v2. 56. Try to reflash v2.46 but don't update the binary or you can just updated to v2. 68 beta which I'm using right now with no problem.

Which viper zip did you use? I downloaded one, flashed it, but it didn't show up in my apps. I'm having the same problem as the OP
I just pulled the one I used and am uploading to dropbox for you. Inside the zip is an apk containing the Viper app and a zip file containing it's guts that you flash with TWRP. https://www.dropbox.com/s/b3bu0mzn371crnf/Viper4Android- Sound.rar?dl=0
