I started with stock at FP5
Used Odin to flash clockworkmod recovery.
Used clockworkmod recovery to install Tweaked3
then installed Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip and su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip
and rebooted the phone.
I used the app root checker. it says congratulations you have root access.
Then install terminal emulator from google play
i type "su" and everything works fine.
but when I use ES File explorer and try to enable root features the Superuser dialog comes up like normal. I click yes to allow, like usual, but then ES complains that I don't have root access and then everything there on out tells me I don't have root access.
Superuser reports that the su binary can't be found.
browsing to /system/bin/ and looking myself, i clearly see su sitting there.
I reboot the phone and I'm back to "normal"
I have my root access, everything is fine.
How could ES file manager trying to gain root cause this to happen?
update:
just tried "File Manager" from google play.
same problem as ES
hmmm
I would just avoid ES altogether. It is breaking functionality slowly.
Do I understand you correctly that you have two different superusers installed (Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip and su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip)? Perhaps that may the root (no pun intended) of your problem?

haha nice pun,
well, from my understanding it's not the same thing.
there's the SU binary and then the superuser application that manages other application access to the SU binary.
I got them from androidsu.com/superuser
and installed:
binary only
md5: d78ec986923b72dfdaa71d1db731a8f3
su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip
(3.2-RC3)
md5: 6462ac14cd38ed7c539ce3e29a6b92a8
Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip
You could try starting over and using SuperSU. Tweaked moved to that and its worked fine ever since.

ahh, this is the first i'm hearing of SuperSu. I'll have to look into this more.
I agree that you should re-flash Tweaked 3.0 and then just use SuperSU and see what happens. I'm pretty sure you have multiple instances of an su binary on your phone giving both it and you heartburn.

Good to hear and glad we could help.
Stay away from ES File Explorer. I use Root Explorer and it's awesome. It's a paid app though. There's another good one that's free but I don't remember the name.
Can someone tell me what to do in es file explorer to Bork my charge. I have not had any issues that I've noticed. I have used es file explorer on my tablets and all my phones including the whole time with my charge and no probs. I've changed the build.prop. so many times. I haven't tried any build.prop changes on Tweaked 3.0 though. I'm on the Steele Blue theme at the moment. Stock kernel. Holo Launcher.

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
would have just asked in :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142872&page=67
but i don't have enough posts, and don't want to spam a bunch of useless "cool" posts to get my count up.
Anyways,I did every thing in that topic and have CM7 running fine on my Cell South Showcase. But, i don't seem to have root access superuser is there but seems to do nothing. i tried checking via the terminal with just a "su" command and got nothing. Tried Superoneclick (my go to rooter for awhile) and it just hangs at "looking for device" . and, Z4 seems to not work with 2.3.4 phones.
So is there any fix to this, or have i just hit some crazy bug?
I have seen some people allude to changing the kernel, but the last time i tried to upgrade/change the kernel on this phone i had to save it via odin
Don't you HAVE to be rooted in order to run cm7?
i know, it breaks all logic
i just know i cant grant superuser to anything, busybox installer says it isnt rooted, and Titanium cant do anything

Clear data on superuser app and/or uninstall/reinstall it.
Ah,I see.. yes, try above. If no. Maybe wipe and reflash?
ok cleared the data, did nothing
can you ever uninstall/reinstall superuser?

Yup just an app
Also:
i have already flashed via Odin back to stock once and did the whole CM7 flash again from a fully clean rom
ok, Flashed Superuser 3.0 beta 3
no go, says my SU binary is out of date, and the app crashes when it tries to update it
checked my bin and xbin, both have a "SU" file in them
in terminal when i CD in to both folders and try to run "SU" i get an error that looks like it is trying to relocate a library and failing to do so
Can i just download the new SU binary my self and manual drop it in to the folders?
well that didnt work, cant modify anything in the system folder so i cant delete that old "SU" and replace it with the one from the superuser 3.0 apk
LOL
well i got it to let me replace the SU in /bin but not in /xbin
so now i got some half confused phone, i can grate Superuser "superuser" but when it tries to update or do any thing the log says "gaining root access....fail"
i still dont know how i have have a CM7 phone that by it very nature is rooted that thinks it is not rooted
ok for anyone who cares, i just gave up flashed via odin back to stock and tried the MIUI port, worked great once i fangled MMS in to working again
I had a similar problem, at which point I grabbed stericson's busybox app from the market which allowed me to flash a working busybox which after a reboot or two and running the installer again fixed me up..there is an app called root checker that can give info on su, superuser.apk, and busybox installs
I am almost positive that when I used jrummys busybox installer our killed root access on my phone. I had superuser.apk but without busybox it was rather useless as no apps could get root. the fix was flashing busybox 1.19.0 and leaving it in xbin and letting the app do its thing once I had rebooted.. then I rebooted again and everything was fine! after bring rooted for so long I don't think I could function without it!
for others out there, my experience has been this: stay weary of the jrummy busybox installer...its never given me anything but problems...and honestly unless busybox is borked, or ya have a damn good reason to upgrade or downgrade my suggestion is to leave it! the potential problems that can arise (for me every time, using jrummy's version..3 times) can be a pain!

i had the same issue but dont recall if it was CM7 that did it or not but i think it was.
i had to completely blow out the phone and start from scratch.
if i recall, CM7 uses a different version of SuperUser and it just want bonkers on me but completely blowing everything out reformatting and everything seemed to work.
If you're on CM7 already, you should be rooted. If not, try SuperOneClick (Google).

"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.......

Barclays have finally released a proper banking app for UK Barclays customers, but I can't use it due to root
I've tried temporary root removers, no joy. I've restored the original unrooted ROM using CWM Recovery, no joy. I'm thinking maybe it checks something deeper like the bootloader or recovery perhaps?
Anyone with any ideas?

There is an oher thread. The workaround is this: with permission denied DENY the barclays get task. Reboot. Then system\xbin hide the su file with es file explorer then rename the superuser.apk.. Like superuser2.apk remember u have to rename the superuser every time after reboot. Cheers

Although when I try the Root Explorer in ES File Manager, it keeps on telling me "Sorry test failed. This feature cannot run on your device". It doesn't look like it's even asking for root permissions. I tried different combinations of installing/uninstalling/rebooting and they don't seem to help. Any thoughts on what to do next?
Or if this is unfixable, any suggestions on what other file manager to use? Features I'm looking for include:

- Root Explorer
- FTP/SFTP support
- Configurable shortcuts/favorites

I had the same problem I ended up just installing Root Explorer, too bad because I paid for ES File Explorer Pro too. If you figure it out let me knwo
I'd suggest solid explorer, very similar to es explorer but none of the app scanning and permissions crap that's recently been introduced in es.
Or just thinking out loud, would it be possible to add it to SuperSU's list without it requesting for access?

I used to have an HTC M7 with the ARHD rom, and the rom came with it by default so I got used to it. I have to admit that there are some things I wish it would do that it doesn't. But I would say about 90% of what I need is available there.
But since I am starting fresh with a new phone, I'm open to suggestions if you have another root file explorer in mind. Pretty much the only thing outside of the standard functions that I need is sftp support, so I can copy/paste files to/from my mac.
