[Q] Lost root access after installing supersu - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my phone and installed jellyBAM rom, I later tried to install supersu from the app store and completely lost root access. Now i tried flashing supersu but i still cannot get root again. I removed supersu and tried flashing superuser but im still missing root. Is their any-way that I can regain my root access with your app because I would prefer to not have to do a factory reset. I know that jellyBAM has a built in superuser that's build into the settings.apk, Im assuming that this is the problem.

It is in fact a 4.3 rom, do you have any ideas on where the setting may be?
It originally worked with its built in superuser. That superuser has practically no settings.

It just started working randomly.... I did not change anything so i do not understand it so thanks anyways, i guess we will never know what made it misbehave...

In setting -> developer option ->root access ->checked (Apps+Adb) then try again..
I hope this will help..

[Q] ICS 4.0.3 ROM Manager Problem

I followed the guide on General forum to flash ICS 4.0.3 stock but my ROM Manager Premium isn't working properly.
Flash ClockworkMod, Reboot into Recovery works fine. It seems like everything else works too........
BUT Fix Permission. When I try to run it, it says 'An error occured while attemping to run privileged commands!'
Titanium Back Pro has green check marks on everything including Root access.
SuperUser and other apps that needs root access seems to work fine.
I downloaded Root Checker Basic and it says that my Nexus S is rooted.
Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper has all check marked as well.
Fix permission works fine on CWM recovery and I see CWM recovery when I reboot in recovery, not stock recovery.
Could anyone help me out with this problem... Thank you!
Just tried and same thing....not sure rom manager might need to be updated

[Q] No Root Access after Rooting! WTF!

I feel like I successfully rooted my Tab2 10.1 GT-P5113 using odin. I have cmw recovery and flashed root file with no errors. After rebooting I have
the "#" Superuser app. It says SU binary needs to be updated and when I try it says installation failed! Apps that require root tell me that it cannot
access root. Used root checker and it also says I don't have root. What am I missing?
The same issue happened to me, You need to install SUPERSU from the market in order to get root access! =)

I just did that and I get the same thing. Used root checker to verify that I still do not have root. What else to check?
Reflash the root files. Find a supersu that lets you install itself by flashing in cwm. That way when its booted up its already got supersu installed and should work.
Plain old "superuser" worked for me, not supersu or #supersu. Its free in the play store.

No root access

Hello!
So here's the deal: yesterday I decided to try out CM10.1 on my Nexus S. Being my first time rooting this phone all went well and I managed to flash the rom mostly without any problems. But my main concern is that after running root checker I got a message that my device isn't properly rooted... I did it just because I tried using ES file explorer in its root settings in order to delete a gallery2.apk file in system, which resulted in an error.
It's strange because I flashed the superuser zip before the rom and as far as I know CM10.1 comes with SU installed in it initially... Otherwise the ROM works perfect.
Do I need to flash everything from the beginning, doing another factory reset/wiping the cache? So far I've tried just to flash the superuser.zip from recovery (running 6.0.2.5 CWM recovery as far as I remember) and it didn't appear to root the device, although it said it installed successfully in the recovery. It may be something to do with the recovery or SU version? Any help is much appreciated!

it's a problem about ES,
you should go to the settings and enable the root mode.

Yeah I know, tried that and ES said this feature cannot run on your phone... And the app doesn't appear in the superuser app either. Nothing does in fact. xD

No recovery anymore, Super SU problem

Hello,
I have rooted my phone, flashed TWRP 2.6.0.0 and CM 10.2 with the All-in-One Toolkit. Everything worked fine.
Then I installed the SUPER SU App from Chainfire and updated the Binary on the "normal" way. After that I uninstalled the app.
Today I wanted to install a newer version of TWRP. I used the GooManager. The download worked fine and the device rebooted. I can use the phone and I get into Bootloader but when I want to go to Recovery the device reboots and reboots....
My first thought was, that I don't have Root anymore because I uninstalled the Super SU App from Chainfire and I don't get any notifications when I start a app that needs root and the built in Super SU in the settings doesn't make any logs since some days. But Root Checker says that my device is rooted and for example Titanium Backup works fine although it's not in the list of apps with Super SU.
What can I do? Maybe trying to install the recovery with the GooManager again or new Rooting and Recovery installing with the Toolkit?
Sincerely,
May be you should flash back twrp 2.6.0.0 which was working for your phone and reinstall super su
I tried to root without the toolkit. I followed all steps and everything worked fine. But when the device rebooted after rooting I stopped in the bootscreen. I'm able to get into CM and use the phone without problems, but now the root is completely gone!
Can anyone help? I really don't know what to do now.
Edit: So, after rooting I have a Super SU app installed, but it's not able to update and not working...
Can you try with the twrp from this link:
http://flemmard.net/recoveries/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-ville-selinux.img
and root again

Okay, thanks. Wich root shall I try? With flashing the SuperSu with the recovery or with getting rooted over PC?
Thanks again.

I flashed the Recovery and the SuperSU. The recovery is installed but there is no root. But I can't uninstall the installed SuperSU apk from the old try of rooting that went wrong. I only can deactivate it. Should I do this and try flashing the SuperSU.zip again?
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Edit: Problem solved with the newer SuperSU version.

Lost root access

Hi- I got into recovery (twrp) and wiped as usual, and installed cm13's latest, and open gaps mini package. I had been on xenon xd 5.1, with full root access. Now, although I can still get into twrp, the apps that need root can't get access, and I have been unable to get SuperSU to update the binaries using either method. I would appreciate any help on this.

Well, I have achieved root access, but if I let SuperSU update the binaries, it never goes past the boot screen. I can dirty flash CM13 again, and I'm back to having root access and a working phone with all the apps. Just don't let SuperSU update.- cc
