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

did you install a rooted stock ROM or a nandroid backup? the stock ROMs available here are all rooted unless you picked a nandroid backup.

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.

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.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Superuser is written by ChainsDD and superSU is by chainfire. 2 different apps (& binaries?) that do the same thing (manage superuser access for you).

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

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
I had root custom cwm recovery had JB ROM installed and flashed solid ice 2.0 and booted up. Once in tried installing ROM toolbox and couldn't get root access. I still have custom recovery and super user but I have no root access. I did searches and followed all instructions but couldn't find anything on my current situation. I've never flashed a ROM and lost root. I'm on sprint but have my girlfriends s3 rooted on Verizon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I lost root on my galaxy nexus, I just restored a nandroid backup and I was back in business. That should work assuming you have a previous backup.
Try opening SuperUser and updating your binaries.

Yes it was the flashable zip that kintwofan was so cool as to post. That's what enabled me to update binaries on the version I'm on. Great idea, that's why I wanted reply with the success but I should have clarified

Hello folks,
those who recently flashed new ICS rom by xbsall noticed that there is no face unlock option in the lock screen section which might bother some people like me so here is the way to get face unlock option for lockscreen. actually one of XDA senior member defcomg provided a zip file on the ROM thread but i created this new thread because people who are looking for it instead of going through all the pages of the rom thread they can find it here easily.
the zip file can be downloaded from here

>instruction is flash it on recovery.
> fix permission (can be done as following setps)

try install with cwm recovery
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.
