I rooted my phone successfully back in February and everything was normal. Now suddenly, apps are not able to gain root access. When I write "su" in terminal emulator, # does not appear. Other apps such as Link2SD and File Explorer are also not able to gain root access. When I tried to update superuser, it downloads the manifest but is not able to gain root access.

So I'm running CM 7.1 stable with Matr1x 8.0 cfs and I went to turn on my tethering yesterday and I got a toast notification saying I was unable to start tethering due to an inability to gain root access. As of a few minutes ago, I am unable to gain root access with titanium backup, wireless tether, or the terminal emulator.
Has anyone ever seen something like this, or know what may be wrong?
Thanks in advance

I tried updating from within SU and the prompt showed up, I accepted, and I got a toast saying that Superuser had been granted SU permissions. Then the update failed from lack of root privileges. Titanium Backup and the terminal are still not able to gain access

I already tried that. No dice.
I have rooted my xe via revolutionary, got the latest cwm installed and now installed superuser but how can I use root features like deleting system apks without flagging another ROM?
Thanks
SOLVED: I had just tried installing Superuser from the market. you need to flash it from http://androidsu.com/superuser/
I'm guessing this might not be possible then?
You can easily do this via something like root explorer which is a paid app, but there are other file explorers that allow root access that are free. Have a search on the market and see you come up with.

He is right if you have s-off and recovery and installed su your good. Es file explorer can be used to. Just check both root access and mount system.

Just tried es explorer, enabled root mode and it gave me an error
root always provide with superuser or superSU, which I don't need them in fact, I want to grant any app permission they want, how can I do that.
in other word, I want to root access without the permit of superuser or superSU

why so for example you want a app that you might download that seems fine but gets root access (and as there no manger gets it right away) and then steals all your info and then deletes your android fiel system...sounds good to me

Well you should beable to just manually install the SU binary and check its working by typing su in the terminal app or something...

The supersu website has a flashable binary so you can just flash it from recovery (or open the zip and see where it gets put)

not working, every apps need root stop function after uninstall supersu then flash the su binary
The su binaries are written for the su control apps, they probably refuse to grant su without the app being installed.
A not so unwise security decision.
Isn't there an option in SuperSu to grant root to all by default?
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.

This issue has been carried out from gingerbread......dont worry,set it to prompt & u'll get no probs,.........Dono wotz the prob behind this though
when i change my ROM i will try it, thanks!:good:
hey! i just rooted my phone and i wonder if i did right
have i rooted it if there is a file called "clockworkmod"?
just wanted to make sure (btw the folder is empty
thx!
The clockworkmod folder is from the recovery. In order to see if you are successfully rooted, download a root manager like supersu or superuser and download an app called root checker from playstore and grant it root permissions and you will see if your device is rooted or not.
