Hello, since the vipers rom thread is to full with people posting. I might as well ask here. Okay, previously in version 1.2.1,I had this problem. Built in vipers superuser doesn't allow any of my root apps like titanium backup. This still happens even though I set as always allow. So, I looked up the thread and someone posted a super supersu zip for version 1.2.1. I flashed it and still supersu doesn't allow my root apps. I was thinking it was because I had both superuser and supersu on my phone so I manually uninstalled superuser from system/app and still nothing worked. I heard the problem was because the built in vipers superuser doesn't have the option to update binary. So, I manually deleted supersu and downloaded superuser again from the market and tried to update binary but it failed saying binary is SUPERSU (in red font). I was so fed up, I did a fresh install of 1.2.1 again with data wipe. All was fine again. A couple days later, vipers 1.3.0 came out, flashed it and everything was okay. Until a couple of days, the same thing came again, the built in superuser won't allow my titanium backup. I looked up the thread again and there was someone also posted another supersu for 1.3.0. My question is, what do I do to avoid the same thing happening again? I just want my root apps to work again, that's all. Thanks in advance.

do this install supersu from market ..open it ..it updates the binaries..then use it normally ..supersu will take control of superuser permissions ..if not go to settings and check enable superuser
thats all ..
dont remove the inbuilt superuser app
So it is okay to have both supersu and the superuser built in with the vipers rom in the same time? No conflicts?

I've seen it but never thought of trying it. Might include it in a experimental black ice build

Nice. Yeah I haven't had a single issue.
Anything with Black Ice would be great..although I cant imagine it being better! I dont know why, but Ive tried most of the top roms from the dev section, & i absolutely love Black Ice and what it has done in terms of performance! My phone is snappy as it has ever been..

I've tried to run this on my Desire S with Endymion and every time I open it it says...............
"There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
Any ideas?
Did you uninstall super user app you had before you tried to install super su? I believe someone on the original thread had that happen and that was the problem. Worth a shot

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.......

I rolled back to my previous backup and installed from the Market as recommended in the Supersu thread and did what you said but it still happens.....
Then I'm out of ideas. I'm sorry.
I got my HTC One X about a week ago now for AT&T. Almost immediately, I tried rooting but ran into an odd issue.
Before rooting I had installed Apex launcher. There is an option in the settings to enable Root Helper, which previously would give an error message of something like, "This device does not have root access"
I went through the rooting procedure as detailed here on my mac. The script didn't work at first until I realized I had to switch it to Unix from DOS (Didn't look at the script before running) after I fixed it, it ran and rebooted twice and everything looked normal. Now I tried using the apex root abilities and it just froze and crashed.
So I booted up windows and tried using that to root, but the exact same thing happened. It seems to recognize my root, but not actually give any permissions.
I've tried using other root apps such as uninstallers,titanium backup, etc and all of them just freeze when trying to get elevated permissions.
Is there something wrong with my phone or the way I did the root?
Have you tried clicking on the su app? I had to upgrade mine.

Yea load up the Su app and ugrade binaries. That should fix the issue. Ive had issues like this on other phones.
You could also try running paulobrien's root method. That's what I used, and my phone's good.

I've also had a situation where the Busybox version installed on a custom ROM on my HTC Flyer tablet interfered with some apps (like Titanium). Make sure Busybox is up to date. I even had to install a different Busybox installer in order to get it to work right on my Flyer in that particular instance. I had to use the JRUMMY16 version in the market, and not the Stericson installer (which seem the most popular).
No packages were installed with the root.
I'll try using paulobrien's method later and hopefully that will work.
I bought a second hand xperia play that has a superuser app so i thought i might have a rooted phone, i downloaded titanium backup to delete some pre installed games and apps but when i read more about rooted phones i decided to make the most of my phone by downloading adfree, hide it pro and rom manager but all three apps say i require root, so my questions are
1) is my phone rooted
2) how do i check to see if it is rooted
3) is it possible that i would just have to update my root
4) can you use titanium and superuser without root as the 2 apps seem to work.
Thanks in advance.
1. From the information given, yes it must be rooted.
2. Download Root Checker for free and it will let you know.
3. As far as I know, a root can't be updated. Once it's rooted, that's it.
4. It's possible to have them without root, but you have to be rooted to use them.
I hope I helped

Thanks for the response, I have downloaded several root checker apps but all of them including the adfree, busybox and Rom manager seem to think I am not. I just find it strange that I have superuser and titanium that both work fine.

Does that mean to say there are parts of titanium that can be used unrooted.
Root binaries and the App can be updated.
While we are it, what does my app say about your root status?

Yes, you can backup all your installed apps in batch mode and restore in batch mode. You will not be able to freeze or delete system apps.

I'll start out by saying I'm a total noob at this whole android rooting process, hence why I'm posting a thread here rather than posting a reply in the appropriate thread. I rooted and unlocked my phone using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709&nocache=1
I opted for the "flashing rooted stock ROM" option.
As the title of my post states, after installing CM10.1, I open superuser to update binary and everything appears to work fine until the very end, it reads "making sure new su works...fail!". Now when I restore back to rooted TW, I have no problem updating the su binary. I've tried Superuser update fixer, I've installed busybox; i cant find any other solution on Google. Any ideas?

Make sure your using the latest version of the Superuser app, another option would be to try using SuperSU as an alternative to the Superuser app. Also is root access functioning normally for you?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Hi and thanks for the reply.
Yes superuser is up to date and I've tried supersu. Root seems to be functioning as I can open apps that require root access.
But when I try to restore missing apps via titanium backup, I get a msg saying "restore finished, 'x' elements failed". X being the number of apps I try to restore

When I open SuperSU, it has a list of apps with superuser status. Is that what you mean? I can run root apps and as far as I can tell they're functioning, with the exception of when I try restoring apps with Titanium Backup
Also, right after I flashed CM10.1, I made a backup right away. Not sure if it means anything, but If I wipe/reset and restore the CM10.1 backup, and the first thing I do is try updating the binary in Superuser, it reads "checking installed version: 9 com.Android.Settings", until I open SuperSU and "update binary". Then if I go to Superuser, it'll say "checking installed version: 1.41:Superuser" as I imagine it should. But at this point I still run into "making sure new su works..fail!"
Superuser has no problem updating when I'm on my rooted stock. I'm sure I messed up somewhere along the way while flashing CM10.1, I just don't know where
Since there is no sensation XE forum i'll post this one here. So i've finally managed to root my sensation xe again (/cheer). The thing is i have an app (Yelo TV, belgium tv network telenet android app) that refuses to stream recorded shows since the device is rooted. Now i've got "Hide My Root" Installed and hid the su binairy. But it still detects root access and won't stream.
So i'm asking all of ya (but primairly the rooted sensation xe, yelo tv users) have any of you managed to restore streaming on this rooted device?
oh and installed titanium backup pro too, but can't seem to figure out how to create backup for all my aps in 1 go (or is that the update.zip feature). Really don't wanna go an create a backup for the 6 dozen aps i got installed. Oh and does anyone know a good ad blocker. There used to be one in the market called AdFree or something but looks like it's gone.
go to the superuser app
navigate to the tv app and select deny for root permissions
about adblocker you can use adaway app
can't navigate to it, as it's not in the su app. It doesn't the tv app doesn't trigger a superuser root access request. The app sees on it's own that the device is rooted. Or do i need su elite for that? (currently using the non-elite app) or a different su app.
I believe the app supersu has a temp u root feature. You could try that and see if it helps you may need to full unrrot superuser first, then add supersu

A couple of days ago I found an app which is able to "hide" your root access, but it needs to be activated manually before launching the problematic app. google for it, found it on one of the top search results (it is on google play). It specifically mentions it enables using apps such as Google Video and the likes, so I guess you should try it.
@Heavy Metal: supersu, temp u root? No idea what ur on about. I sure as hell won't be losing my root over 1 app. Ill watch the stuff on TV then.
@astar: i would if you'd say the name. As i said, i have "hide my root" installed. Even if i tell it to hide the su binairy, yelo TV still detectq the root and won't stream.
Edit: tried supersu. Said the binairy needed an update. Normal installation won't work, other one requires cow or another one. Can't i push it via adb or something. Custom recovery makes it impossible for ota updates. (Not that this phone has been given any. No idea if it even will be updated to 4.1 let alone 5)

It won't get any further official updates. And as for SuperSU, just allow it to update, it will do the job. And all the updates we might need are available as custom ROMs (although without the apps you want to use).
I think I might have just got it. this app came with the phone, right? So maybe making it a "user" app would work, as it's system privileges allow it to detect root binary even if it's hidden (system apps can do whatever they want, without asking for permission). Create a backup of the whole ROM first, so you won't lose the app. Then copy it to the SD card, delete it from /system/app and then open it with a file explorer, it will install the app. It might just work.
Edit: The app I fount was exactly what you used.
supersu won't update it. its a htc phone so needs custom recovery and no. Yelo TV did not come with the phone.
anyone got the latest su binairy ? the one i have dates from 29/02/2008 and is 21.8kb in size
oh and supersu fked up my root seriously. Said it found conflicting aps and needed to uninstall them. so allowed it to do so. so it removed all updates from "system ap". Now everything that had root access no longer does and when it asks for permission it gets denied

You don't have a custom recovery? And as far as I know, it is able to update itself, there are choices for updating.

Since you are rooted, why not installing? It's quite out of the discussion, but you should, as it only gives you benefits in the normal situation (There will be no OTAs in the future, and anyway, it allows you to backup and restore your phone should anything happens. Since you are rooted I guess you have your bootloader unlocked via HTCUnlock or S-Off.
so managed to update to latest binary and superuser version (3.1.3) according to superuser itself. Then ran SuperSU still claims a binairy update so did that one too. Then removed the outdated superuserapp from ChainsSSD
yes, i'm s-OFF (did that when back on android 2.3.4). Still doesn't fix the fact that the app won't stream. but nvm. After updating binairy and apk, Yelo now throws a different error. "failed to communicate with digicorder"
though i did find a page claiming a superuser version 3.1.4 http://nishantn3.blogspot.be/2013/04/latest-superuserapk-v31447-su-v3218.html
now where in SuperSU do i hide the root or deny root checking for yeloTV

You can not deny root checking, but you can deny root access for it. But to understand how it works, did it request root access? Try removing it from the list in SuperSU.
I said that in my first post. I doesn't even ask for root access, it just sees that the device is rooted. One of the sites i found claimed they were checking for /system/bin/su
even with SuperSU (disabled and hidden), it still detects root access (even after i killed the yeloTV process) after hiding su. Could it be because SU is running as user and not /system.
use xprivacy (xposed framework) to block su in yelo app (under shell menu), works for me!
Could you provide links to what I need and what I need to do.
