SuperSU or superuser?

Which one is better?
Whats the difference between the 2?
Im using rom toolbox pro and in the toast message when phone boots it tells me to use supersu
How do i get rid of the installed superuser and add supersu without losing root or bricking my phone?
Thanks in advanced

Install SuperSU from the Play Store, grant it root access, then delete SuperUser using a file browser. Or you can try flashing the SuperSU zip from the official xda thread and it should replace SuperUser automatically.

I haven't noticed a difference between the two. Used both on various ROMs for a decent amount of time. AFAIK, they are only there to handle root permissions for apps. That said, never had a problem with either.

[ROOT]Alternative Root superuser for JellyBean

I have found a alternative root superuser method from ChainsDD and its working on our device.
Some users have reported that 4cyl turbo nos doesnt work well with our root superSU, so i tried ChainsDD superuser signed zip and it worked.
The difference is SuperSU is from Chainfire and Superuser is from ChainsDD https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ub3NodWZvdS5hbmRyb2lkLnN1Il0.
The original link is here http://androidsu.com/superuser/
The only thing is you have to install busybox manually from playstore after the root method https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsInN0ZXJpY3Nvbi5idXN5Ym94Il0.
Download Superuser
Install method:
Same as Shaaan root method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087424
How to :
1. Download the zip and place it in the root of your sd card.
PS : SD Card is a must.
2. Reboot to the stock recovery.
3. Select install update from external storage.
4. Select the Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip file.
5. Viola

Please test and report, as i remember, on gingerbread i had some issues with superSU but superuser worked good and some user have reported that without root the phone is working well with no lags, maybe is just a placeboo effect.

Lol. The problem with 4cyl isn't my root method! It's the su app.
Root using my method and change the su app. 4cyl will work fine..

yes, i was speaking generic, the superSU is causing problems not the method itself.
i have edited the post to be more specific. i wanted to share this already sign zip so it will be more convenient for users

i rooted my phone using this method. When i am trying to set default action as allow always, the apps are not getting superuser permissions!
although if it is set as prompt, i can grant superuser permissions.

[Q] Motorola Xoom - no su access after root

Hi all. I am new to rooting. Recently decided to root my Motorola Xoom WiFi tablet, which has android 4.1.2 installed. I went through the Universal root method described in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242241 and everything went well...with one exception - I still have no su access. No clue how to proceed or where the problem might be...Any help appreciated.

Sounds like you didn't flash the xoom root zip file. Make sure that the xoom root zip file is on your sd card and boot back into clockwork recovery, choose to install from a zip file and choose that zip file to flash it. After it's done flashing you should be good to go.
and have you installed one of both apk - supersu - or - superuser -

How To Root Samsung Galaxy Core Duos 8262 100% working

The last day i've posted that i cant root galaxy core 8262.
After 2 days gooling i ve find a way to root this device.this device was updated last month.
ok now start Rooting
1.Download Vroot from here_ http://www.mgyun.com/vroot
2.Install this on ur pc.... this is Chinese so u will face some problems i guess
3.Start VROOT and root now!
4. Now we need to install SuperSU from play store to replace the Chinese root manager called 授权管理 1.0.4.
5. Go to play store and install SuperSU.
6. Start SuperSU and you will be asked for permission by 授权管理 1.0.4, choose 允许(means allow). (Should be the right side option.)
7. SuperSU will prompt to install SU binary, go ahead with OK and it will display successful.
8. Now, freeze 授权管理 1.0.4 in titanium backup, just in case you need it again.
Note: If you uninstall straight away from app manager, you need to make sure SuperSU updated the binary.
9. Re-run SuperSU to make sure everything is alright. You will be prompt again to install SU binary, just do what it asked.
10. After that, you are rooted with SuperSU and 授权管理 1.0.4 will not be there anymore.
Optional
11. If you want to be more assured, in SuperSU app, prepare for a Reinstall in settings. (NOT Full unroot NOT Switch superuser app)
12. SuperSU will be removed and go back to play store to re-download and install.
13. Start SuperSU and SuperSU will prompt to install SU binary, go ahead with OK and it will display successful.
tnx button is there (Y)

backup of rom
Hii friends,
I want to change rom of my i8262

But how to change and back up the rom
I need 6.0 rom
So king root is okay and what to do next?

Root Kindle Fire HD 10

I was able to use Kingoroot for PC to root my Fire HD 10. Updated to the newest Firmware. It would say it was rooted. But, Trying to give permissions and checking with root checker was not successful and said there was no root. I installed SuperSU apk it says the binary is occupied. So I Uninstalled the superuser apk. that was installed by Kingoroot and tried to change the build prop with a root browser text editor and it was successful so apparently it roots but superuser is not working to grant or deny permissions. It automatically grants permissions does not even open up superuser so its kinda dangerous but it is rooted and working. My experience is that kingoroot superuser must be Uninstalled for root to work. I used twrp manager to backup my recovery img., and boot img. I am going to try to build a recovery for it but I'm not In a hurry plus I'm not sure if it will flash afterwards anyways but if you want root, Kingoroot for pc and Uninstalled the kingoroot superuser apk it installs and you will have it
Installed magisk manager installed zip direct (recommended) it bricked the fire. And then I adb sideloaded the update and now I'm back in business reasonably easy to do but I do not recommend magisk at this time .
Going to try xposed next
Couldn't get it to install says it's arm device tries to install and says it's an arm64 device. Plus has to be flashed in recovery and one hasn't been built yet

You can't manage Kingoroot su binary using SuperSU.
If you not install SuperSU su binary, SuperSU apk does not working.
Try this method to install SuperSU su binary.

I installed supersu to find out if it was rooted since the root checker said it was not. the binary error was a confirmation that it was in fact rooted and it doesn't matter what superuser is used it will not allow pop up or apps to draw over other apps so when it's rooted with kingoroot it automatically grants root without a confirmation,as long as the kingoroot super user app is not installed and if SuperSU is kept installed default permission has to be set to grant for root to work. I in fact installed the SuperSU binary through an older version of the apk and it installed but still has no control over denying or granting permissions. Thanks for the advice though. I appreciate your willingness to help me

Not trying to insult your intelligence or anything here, but you said newest firmware? Newest Fire firmware? Newest firmware isn't rootable from my understanding.
What firmware were you on when you started the root process?
Also, are you making sure that the Kingoroot "install our extra junk" box isn't checked (not sure that would prevent root success)?
It wouldn't open superuser. superuser should be set to "grant" because of how the Fire works, which it sounds like you are aware of based on your last post. I wouldn't say it's dangerous, per se.
I've followed this guide nearly a dozen times now and I've not run into the issue(s) you're having.
