Hey guys sorry for this noob question. So i rooted my s3 and have superuser. My friend has S3 with att and he has super su instead of superuser. I was just wondering why is that.

Superuser is written by ChainsDD and superSU is by chainfire. 2 different apps (& binaries?) that do the same thing (manage superuser access for you).

is it possible to switch which superuser application to use?

Yes. Download SuperSU then open it and let it update binaries + give it normal superuser permission first.
Then go to your downloaded applications and unistall any updates to Superuser. Finally, get Titanium Backup and then Uninstall Superuser.
Oh yeah and Reboot afterwards

Superuser it's what gives you root access (overly simple answer before somebody yells that I'm not exactly right)

If your question is to find out if you are rooted or not, there is an app in the play store called Root Checker that will let you know if you have TRUE root access.

nice!
Although, I just thought about it, we could of just had him open SuperUser because it will tell him if it was unable to gain root access.

Is there either a superuser or super su app installed? There should be. Try going into whichever one you have and update binary, then rerun root checker and make sure you allow access when it asks for it

You only need one or the other, not both. Stick with whichever one came with the Rom. Go to the app and under settings choose update binary. If it asks for permission, grant it.
Delete whichever one you're not using.
And all custom ROMs on here are rooted

I've noticed with superuser I've sometimes needed to run the update a few times before it'll work.
If this has been a problem since you first flashed the ROM, I'd recommend doing a complete wipe of everything and reflashing the ROM

I updated &It Worked Thanks
Sorry guys I'm new to XDA so i have to pots only in Q&A section.
I installed Ported JW8 v2 SAUROM Project rom days ago, its been running ok, very quick rom, the only problem its that i can't manage the root access for the applications, it seems to be that it not working.
does anyone knows any fix?
thanks
Is superuser installed? If so go to it, and go to settings and enable root. Should be OK.
If its not installed it might be the ROM didn't default it.
You could probably one click easy root. Just like the stock Rom.

I had the same problem. I believed that somewhere in the thread the op listed a flash able zip that would fix the Superuser problem.
Here you are:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34358973&postcount=38
I had a similar issue once, just telling superuser to allow that app fixed it. But I'm guessing previous poster was the answer

Thanks everyone, I was on the road for a few days.

Whenever I go into titanium backup it says sorry could not acquire root privileges. All I've done is unlocked the bootloader and installed cwm, superuser and busy box. Also I'm on stock Rom and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that hasn't worked.

No you missing a SU file, without that you don't have root.

I accidentally uninstalled my supersu app and now my phone is no longer rooted. Will reinstalling the app from the play store restore my root access?
I have uninstalled mine before and didn't lose root. Just reinstall and then try root checker to see if you are still rooted.

Well, it won't hurt to try. And I think as long as you didn't use SuperSU to uninstall root you should be alright.
