Alright so I have a Droid 1. I was originally running 2.1 and was rooted and everything was fine. I found a one click root for froyo so I unrooted my phone and updated to froyo. When the phone was updated I downloaded z4root and rooted my phone and it worked until another update popped up and I agreed to update again. After the new update I had superuser permission still but all Apps that require root failed so I tried rooting again and it says I'm already rooted. I've done everything I can think of and nothing. I do not have a computer so my options are limited. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Hi
Many people complained last days that they have problem with SuperSU 0.99 app.
They cant update the binary and phone reboots its self after "update failed" message
I got an HTC One S with S4 cpu last week and i got the new Jelly Bean Update 4.1.1
Then i unlocked my bootloader and installed TWRP custom recovery with One_S_All-In-One_Kit_v3.0 tool kit
After that i tryed to Root the phone with SuperSU 0.99.
Seems worked fine until i tryed to update my binary.
I get message "update failed" and my phone restarts.
I tryed to wipe and reflash the root but still same.
I even tryed to remove SUPERSU from System/App but with no luck. It keeps coming back even if i
removing it and revert everything to stock its still in SYSTEM.
Now i found this new Superuser version and flashed it and now my phone works fine and updating binary.
No more phone restart.
Even my SuperSU 0.99 is gone from system.
How TO:
Download superuser from this page http://androidsu.com/superuser/
Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip
Then boot into recovery
Flash Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip
Restart and voila the root works...
Hope i helped you guys.. Good Luck
Version 3.1.3 is reported to work better.
And doubt it really needed a new thread starting its discussed in most rom treads.
I started this thread just because of the issue SUPERSU 0.99 brings to HTC One S with Jelly Bean update.
I hope i can help someone because i didnt find any solution to my problem until i flashed superuser and it solved my problem.

I agree that this adds clutter, but I have been lightly following the threads for the JB ROMs and tried using superuser (though not the rc) without it working (still unable to update system). It's good to have this kind of solution in its own thread but general would probably be a better section.
Sent from my HTC One S Special Edition using xda app-developers app
This doesn't belong in the dev section for multiple reasons
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
Im sorry i didnt see that it was Development section. If someone can move it pls do so.
everyone uses SU...... this is very important for everyone using JB... leave it in here...
I feel it belongs here... this is where SU apps are in the development section... SO, this is where it should stay... (that is just my opinion)
I never want to start this thread like an development because im not a developer.
Reason is that i want to share my issue with anyone who is facing the same problem as i did.
Just like i said if someone think this thread doesn´t belong here then admins can move it to right section.
Updated to JB with OTA yesterday night.
Short version:
-Initially rooted with CWM recovery-> flashed MoDaCo stock recovery
-Apply OTA
-Flash CWM recovery
-Used CWM recovery to flash SuperSU 0.99 zip
-Uninstall/reinstall SuperSu from the Market
When starting SuperSU, it asks for update, if agree -> reboot.
BUT
When using root needing apps, like Titanium backup or FX file manager, they ask for root permission through SU and everything runs normally.
So SuperSU seems to work, only the front end app has some bug. I'm staying with that config waiting for an update.
Hi, same problem here on S3 cpu. Is this method works on S3 cpu as well? Thx for replying.
Hi. I think I have a problem with SuperSU (or something else??). I first started SuperSU last thursday (31.1.2013.). It ask me to update binary, I hit OK, and then it took about half hour to restart. System then recovered, and everything seem to be OK, but it's not!
When I connect my HTC One S to PC I only see files created (photos, videos) until 31.01.2013. Also, when I run Settings -> Memory com.android.settings crashes.
What to do?
I'm new to android. Plese help!

Any idea on how to get SuperSU work instead of SuperUser? I purchased SuperSU in the play store and I think it just looks better...
HI this maybe a noob type question but I'm gonna ask it anyway. I rooted and installed safestrap with custom rom, well I just had to have JB because I found a rom that I really like and wanted to use. Well I did my research and followed directions to a T and now for some reason my root ability is gone. My Razr shows that it was rooted ad in the 0/1 you see on the stock recovery and I installed Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and saved rooting before I installed JB. Now that I have done all of this I can no longer install safestrap (it just force closes) like my hubby's unrooted Razr does and Voodoo doesn't show that it is rooted anymore. Is there anything I can do to fix this or am I stuck waiting for root abilities for JB. I have looked and researched for rooting for JB but not finding anything. Any help is welcome and thanks in advance.

Sharing this here in case it saves somebody else an hour or so.
I rooted my stock Infinity ROM at ICS and have followed all the OTA updates to current 4.2.1 just using OTA Rootkeeper, apparently successfully. It was only recently when I tried to add another app that required root that I discovered I couldn't grant root permissions. To make it worse, I cleared SU data in an attempted fix which successfully removed root from apps that had been OK :crying:
Then I came across this fix that had been applied to a TF300:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183105
It works as described on the TF700 too and seems to have completely fixed my problem.
Thanks to Koush for the fix to blubbhome for posting it somewhere I could find it.
I am out of warranty now and about to install a different ROM so thanks to all devs for the good work.
Hi guys,
something really odd just happened. I have a rooted deviced - I rooted as soon as I received it - and it's been fine till yesterday when I installed the latest update 11.0-XNPH44S and all of a sudden it seems I have lost my root privileges, it's like I am not root anymore and none of the apps requiring root run anymore even SuperSU is telling me that "there is no SU binary installed and SuperSu cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upgraded to android 4.3 you need to manually re-root!" What on earth is going on?!?!
That's completely normal, OTA updates remove root. Just flash SuperSU again and you'll be golden.
