Do you have the Superuser app installed? The su binary requires this to work properly.

when i read this i realized it wasnt but even after i installed it it still gave me the same problem on terminal, idk if it the actual rom that i installed or what?

first of all, did you root your phone? by any method? if you did, download titanium backup from the market, and when you open it, it will tell you that you dont have root access, press the problems? button, and it will prompt you with a box that has the option to get busybox, just press that button and most of the times this will fix this root permission issue

Spontaneous loss of root privileges on CM 7.1

So I'm running CM 7.1 stable with Matr1x 8.0 cfs and I went to turn on my tethering yesterday and I got a toast notification saying I was unable to start tethering due to an inability to gain root access. As of a few minutes ago, I am unable to gain root access with titanium backup, wireless tether, or the terminal emulator.
Has anyone ever seen something like this, or know what may be wrong?
Thanks in advance

Launch su from the app drawer and see what happens.

I tried updating from within SU and the prompt showed up, I accepted, and I got a toast saying that Superuser had been granted SU permissions. Then the update failed from lack of root privileges. Titanium Backup and the terminal are still not able to gain access

I already tried that. No dice.

[Q] Is a Partial Root possible?

Please excuse me if this has been covered elsewhere but I have done a search and can't find anything that applies to my Transformer or the problem I have.
I used Razorclaw to root my Transformer when it was on Honeycomb, and Voodoo OTA rootkeeper to retain it when I upgraded to a later version of HC. And then again when the first ICS update came out. However when the .17 OTA came out, in my haste to try and fix the problems that came with the first ICS update, I hit 'install' without thinking. I should have made sure voodoo had a fresh backup and temporarily unrooted the TF (as I had done on previous updates).
So after the update I checked with both Titanium Backup and Voodoo which indicated I did not have root. I selected the 'restore root' option in Voodoo and it then indicated I had regained root access.
So now the three apps that I had granted root access prior to the upgrade (Titanium Backup, ES File Explorer and Voodoo) still have root access, but whenever I try a new app that requires root it says I don't have root. And checking in Superuser the 3 apps above are listed as allowed, but no other requests are even logged.
So my question is how can I have some apps that require root working, yet new requests are denied? And is there a simple way to fix it? I don't want to uninstall Superuser in case that loses me root completely (and permanently) and when I try to update Superuser it fails to gain su and stops.
Edit:TF is running Stock firmware, just rooted.

Look to see if you SU in system/xbin if not look in system/bin and copy SU from there to system/xbin

This did not fix it I'm afraid, but thank you for your suggestion. It's almost like Superuser is frozen and won't allow anything else root access. I see there is a 'Superuser Update Fixer' App on the Market (oops I mean Google Play Store) but I'm not sure if that will solve the problem I have as it seems to require root access to work...

Try running ViperMod (option 1) again to get full root.

I don't think you have root. I had same thing happen, literally almost exactly and its because I did not have proper root. Use vipermod to get root back and you'll see everything will work like normal

Thank you both baseballfanz and eminembdg (I pushed the thanks button) Vipermod Option 1 did the trick. I now have full root access restored. The biggest problem I had was I couldn't find any Win7-64 ADB drivers so had to go and pull the old Win7-32 laptop out to get everything to work properly.
Still can't see why I had partial root permissions though. I thought it was all or nothing. Kind of like being a bit pregnant.

[Q] Super User app no SU/Root

I just finished following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668173 guide.
I have the SU app, but when i check for SU it says i do not have it.
I can view the Root Dir.
Any thoughts?

Try to cold restart the tablet and when you are back online install root checker thats for free in the market. me myzelf had to reboot twice before i realy got all the root acces on my tablet.

Can you elaborate on what a cold restart is?
I booted my device down twice.
When running Root Checker i have the output of " Sorry! This device does not have proper root access."

I was helping with this device and the rooting methods seemed kind of out of line to me. I was surprised when it came back online and had super user, Then we downloaded root checker and titanium backup and got the no root error. We've made a few reboots and even retired flashing the zip file. Not sure where to go from here.

What does ota root keeper say? Load that up and launch it. You should have 5 checks. Any missing is A problem.

Sounds like you are half-rooted. I assume you are unlocked running stock jb? If so have you used this guide? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30516010
Following step 3 is what solved the half-root for me.

Getting close.
I used the file they provided to recover from and close but no cigar!
The only option that is not checked now is "Protected su copy available".
Seems like something could be missing, I followed the guide you linked verbatim.

If that's the only one you should be good. Use root checker to verify. To enable that protected su, use ota root keeper to make a backup. Should be a button for it.

Alternative Fix
It seems like you fixed your problem, but I have an alternate solution that might work for anyone else that might stumble on this post. This sounds like a problem I had, commonly referred to as a half root, and just fixed without having to unlock or change the recovery; all it takes is pushing a file via adb and a few other lines of adb shell commands. The fix I found was on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30522201&postcount=118. Follow the long code section at the end and you should be back to root goodness (or better than it was to start, in my case). If you have problems feel free to reply or message.

I did resolve it and forgot to post. I'd like to thank you guys for the help though. This was my first post and the community seems very mature and professional. Is there any apps (also roms) rooted/normal that you would suggest for the TF300T? Thanks again for your time

[Q] Getting Root Permission

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.

Got it working Thanks
1> A couple more questions. It possible to take off any program that was pre-installed. Like Zinco or the stock browser etc and if so how?
2> When I try to install a apk file that I have on my tablet I can only press Cancel. The install button doesn't work. What am i doing wrong?
I now have Su working. Have rooted tablet with permission and busybox is installed properly. Hope you can help again.
ThanKs you Guys

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.
