whenever i try to load an app that requires root (95% of the apps ive tried) it freezes right when its granted. when i start titanium backup, the first screen where it says "asking for root rights..." just stays there even after it says it was granted. other apps that are granted root immediately just stay at a black screen. with lucky patcher, i can use it up to the point of where i apply changes (where root is required) but then it just keeps loading non-stop. the superuser app says they where all granted in the log, and there are no problems i know of there, but whenever root is granted to an app, that app freezes. (im not too good/experience with this) i couldnt find anything anywhere else that has this exact problem. (ps. i dont have a SIM card in yet, i use *#83786633 to get past setup screen on boot, if that means anything to this)
Hmm... Reboot? Reflash SuperSU/Superuser (depending on what setup you're using)?

Oh, that too, if you launch SuperSU it'll immediately ask to update binary if it's outdated. There have been several updates in the past couple of weeks too, so this may be your problem.

i have since fixed (kinda) this problem, i used odin and flashed lazarous kernel and tweaked 3.2. it didnt really "fix" it but got rid of the problem. but before, i had tried to use supersu, (i was on the regular superuser) but that too froze when it was granted root to update the binary.
regular superuser binary was up-to-date

So, i was rooted before the update and it unrooted me. I saw a lot for people used z4root to reroot but for me it isnt working. I have ran it probably 8 or 9 times just to be sure. I says that it is accessing the shell, the the screen goes white for a few seconds and it reboots. Once it reboots i am still unrooted. I tried the temporary root just to be sure and that doesn't work either. Anyone else? The first time i rooted it via the android terminal. I havn't tried that again yet...
Thanks in advance!
make sure you are using the newest apk for Z4root which I think it is 1.3.0 and make sure usb debugging is checked in the phone settings, and also do a battery pull and put it back in and then try it again.
It worked for me after the update.
Definitely am using the newest z4 and made sure debugging was on. I just said "screw it" like 15 minutes ago and did the whole thing through the terminal again. What a pain, but at least it works. Rooted.
Z4root worked for me after the update, weird.

Yeah i even tried installing the app through the browser and both the official and beta releases of the sideload wonder machine. Then, just to cover all of my bases, i tried older versions of z4. I guess this thread may help others who have the same issue as me but it doesn't sound like anyone else is?
Although I had to reboot after installation before it would work.

Installed the update while crossing my fingers. It removed root. Just reran Z4root and then rebooted. Fine and dandy.

I have been reporting the "random reboot during standby" problem in the following thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386785
However, the thread was mainly about Screen of Death, and I have not experienced any SOD at all, I think it is better to start a new thread.
Here's the details - on Monday afternoon I purchased my P6210 (brand new, sealed). Started setting it up Monday evening. On Tuesday morning I rooted it, and in the afternoon applied the permission hack to allow writing on external SD.
Wednesday morning, I noticed the first random reboot during standby (on AC) as it woke me up. During the day, the reboot happened at least 3 more times (either on AC or battery).
In the afternoon (still Wednesday), I did a security wipe, and stayed with mainly stock apps. I only installed K-9, a file explorer and few other apps that did not require root as I Superuser was not installed. However, it remained rooted, and the SD write permission mod was not removed by security wipe.
Regardless of the wipe, reboots continued for at least 3 more times by Thursday morning. This is when I returned it to the store for an exchange.
=======
Now unit #2 - no rooting, no permission mod.
I did reinstalled all the apps I had as before, with the exception of the ones requiring root.
The result? Not a single random reboot in the last 1.5 day.
****************
The question is, what actually caused the problem. I see three possibilities:
- faulty hardware in the first unit;
- the rooting; or
- the permission mod. (Note: I didn't recall seeing the reboot until Day 3, after I did the mods)
Unfortunately, I don't know what was actually involved in the rooting, nor the permission mod. Are there any remote possibilities that they could cause the random reboot?
I spoke too soon, just had my 1st random reboot on the new unit. It still hasn't been rooted or modded, only running legit apps downloaded from Play Store. So I guess whatever causing the reboot happens out of the box...
[Update] After having two random reboots in one afternoon, I deleted the last couple apps I installed. It has been reboot-free in the last 2 days!!
One of these apps that I deleted was Dell Voice (may be it doesn't play well with my wifi only tab).

Just to clarify, I haven't rooted my tab to date. In my case, I definitely have the reboot issue without root. In your case, would it be the apps you installed after you rooted, rather than just the rooting itself?

Google goggles. I'm guessing it wasn't the cause of problem.
I don't really know what caused it to reboot but it has'nt done it since i went back to stock. I don't think it was the apps cuz the only other app that I dont have on my tab now ,when it was rooted is the app that changes the screen density [ I don't remember what it was called]... I also used titanium backup when I had it rooted but I know its not that app cuz I still have it installed
Sent from my GT-P6210 using xda premium
It's probably irrelevant, but I found that if I increased the screen density to 180dpi (probably anything over 160?) using the DPI Changer Utility app, then the tablet would boot to the homescreen and then reboot, over and over.

I also concern that rooting may contribute to the random reboot. I wouldn't mind to experiment it, but I don't know how to completely remove root if I need to.
FYI, I have the Canadian LB2 firmware, and it is not available online for me to flash it to the tablet using Odin.
Could you share with me how you did the unrooting (reverting to stock ROM)?
Well to throw a wrench into the mix I have my Tab Plus rooted and I don't get random reboots on LA3 firmware.

P6200 or P6210?
It seems to crash when apps cannot access the network during standby, and that's why some are fixing the issue by installing the Auto Airport Mode app.
Hence, having 3G or not may make a difference.
I have a 6210 so no 3G for me.

Thanks, I'll definitely try rooting, as soon as I learn how to unroot first.
PS. Do you have Titanium Backup, or did you change the display density? (These are the other suspects that could cause the reboots in wolverine's case)
I use rom toolbox for freezing apps and other things so no I don't have titanium backup.
I have changed the density before (also using rom toolbox) and didn't like the results and went back. So for me it is still at the normal 160.
I hope I am being of some help here!

When I did the update to LA3 it unrooted mine but this should work just as well:
1. Download a file explorer, allow root acess, mount as r/w
2. Go to system/bin
3. Find SU file and delete it
4. Reboot
I didn't do it this way but it should work, do it at your own risk. I am not responsible if something happens to your tablet

I too, prefer to unroot by flashing a factory image with Odin. The problem is, I have a Canadian P6210 (w/o IR port) with LB2. Until LB2 factory image is released (or something newer), I don't think I'll root my tab. It has been running rock-solid without any reboot for the last few days, I don't want to risk losing it by rooting.
Update - still not rooted and running only apps installed from Play store, it suffers from random reboots. Sometimes once or twice in one days, other times no problem in days. No obvious patterns noted.
By the way, also have one SOD in about 2 weeks that I own this tab
A quick Google search shows that this problem is reported on many models of galaxy tabs (7.7, 10.1, ...)
I've had my 6210 for a month without issue then it stared sod and reboot with great frequency. I read about a few solutions but I couldn't understand why it would start happening without me making setup changes (unless hardware failed or a write failure corrupted something). I decided to reboot in recovery to clear the cache. Its been two days without a problem. I have no idea how long it will last but it's working for now...

I'm on LA3 as well, I've never experienced this problem. Maybe there is some common denominator here, like manufacture date etc.
I have a rooted phone that has worked like this for a while changing a lot of roms (I'm on ordroid right now)
Few days ago it seems as if apps can't get full root access even though I grant them.
Examples: when I turn on TB it says "asking for root access" while notifications on the bottom reappear every 30 seconds saying "titanium backup has been granted superuser access to interactive shell", my backup takes a long time to load, fasterfix stopped loading.
Tried fixing permissions on recovery but it just thinks for 10 minutes so I stopped it by taking the battery out.
Supersu tries to install an update but it fails, doesn't uninstall itself.
bootloader says soff, hboot 1.27.1100
What can be done?
Thanks in advance

try to clear all the apps that were granted root privileges from supersu app
all the apps are shown once you open supersu...just click on each of them and click forget...
then for whatever app you require root access...supersu again asks for granting permission ..so grant it and try again using titanium backup

You can try one thing.
First download root check basic from market and check whether you got your device rooted or not.
Then
Download superuser app from market..don't open this after downloaded
Then go to supersu-settings-cleanup-click "switch superuser app".
After this you can use superuser app you've downloaded to manage root privilages

Downloaded root check, ran it and same thing happens: it works a long time and during it brings up notifications every 30 seconds that it has been granted root access. The app didn't come to a conclusion.
Clocked on install a different superuser ago in supersu, the prompt says "if succeeded the app will close in a few second. It doesn't.
Went anyways to superuser and tried to update binaries and it failed gaining root access.
Would reflashing the ROM work? What about full wipe and reflash?
The weird thing is that it was rooted correctly for a long time and it suddenly happened.

The thing is I also had this issue earlier...I messed my root access...so what I did is I did a fullwipe and flashed the Rom again...I did a full wipe because in my case fmradio didn't work either....
But what i would suggest you to do is ...first just flash the Rom again...no need to wipe cache + dalvik as Rom installation will take care of it ...and see if this solved your problem...if this didn't work then do a fullwipe (superwipe) and flash the Rom ...this will surely resolve your problem..as it did in my case

Flashed latest rom version with full wipe and works perfectly now. Also restored data using nand.

Constantly getting "shell has been granted superuser permissions" notification
Well, as the title says... Sometimes this notification starts to flash, it doesn't stop. I have to reboot to make it stop. The same problem has been reported on the Galaxy Note and the Galaxy S III.
I'm using a Nexus S i9023 with stock Jelly Bean and SU 3.2 RC.

I believe it has something to do with that app or how that app is interacting with superuser.
I installed it the other day and that issue came up. Removed it and it went away. The cause of i dont know. I would take a look in the BBS thread and see if there are reports of it. If not make on
i never had any battery stats app, but it happened to me as well, it fixes after a reboot
check out all application that requires root
install a logcat app
I didn't install or update an app that requires root and I don't have better battery stats. It just started after I installed Jelly Bean and reflashed the latest su.
i can confirm none of the root requiring third party apps caused the problem

For me the culprit was 'Root Browser Lite'. Froze it with Titanium Backup and problem solved.
It happened again. Now with stable superuser 3.1.3 and still with Android 4.1.1. I added the logcat as an attachment.
You can see on the screenshot that it's repeating the same thing. It goes really fast so I can't scroll back to where it started.
Do you see anything interesting in the superuser log? For me it just showed shell repeatedly, but you never know. I pinned it down to a particular app more because it was something I hadn't installed before though!
Update superuser su binary, wipe its data. Try now. If not working you can reboot and wipe cache and fix permissions. That all will definetly do the trick.

I also get this at least once a day. Very annoying. Above measures didn't help for me. Superuser log shows only repeated shell entries.
And no battery stats apps installed, neither is Root Browser.
this was just happening to me, i rebooted my GNex, i don't have the S but same problem. reboot seemed to fix it

I don't have droid wall and the suggested fix didn't work. Please, stop telling me to uninstall apps, I also have this problem before I even install any app. There are tens of people having this problem. It's clearly a bug: superuser doesn't seem to be 100% compatible with Jelly Bean and chainsdd doesn't reply to my tweets. I'll try supersu when I have some spare time, but if that doesn't work either we're kinda stuck here.

My shield just arrived today, and I updated it straight to the newest firmware. After that, I unlocked bootloader, installed CWM and rooted. Then I installed all my apps. Everything work perfect, only the Antutu benchmark app won't open - after a few seconds I get the message that it is not responding and if I want to close it or wait. Waiting doesn't help it. Any ideas?
Try clearing all app data cache etc and remove the app and reinstall. Last time i used antutu it workes but its a bit pointless, the benchmarks are fairly rudimentary.
I think it had something to do with busybox. I used the Busybox Pro app to install busybox to xbin. After I reverted this and installed it to sbin again, all became well.

No bro, I have the same problem. It worked before rooting phone.
I rooted phone, and unlocked bootloader, and then got twrp. Then I got antutu. The app doesn't even start. So it's either cuz of rooting(least likely in my opinion), unlocking bootloader(most likely in my opinion), or getting custom recovery.
