Superuser not working?

Hello there fellow hackers, I recently re- rooted my EVO4g and had I noticed my superuser permissions started to get not responding error, does anyone know how to fix this or is there another superuser file I can download from my phone to reinstall it.

Super user

Hey guys sorry for this noob question. So i rooted my s3 and have superuser. My friend has S3 with att and he has super su instead of superuser. I was just wondering why is that.

Superuser is written by ChainsDD and superSU is by chainfire. 2 different apps (& binaries?) that do the same thing (manage superuser access for you).

He probably just downloaded the app. Just cause u have it doesn't actually mean its rooted.

Yes. Download SuperSU then open it and let it update binaries + give it normal superuser permission first.
Then go to your downloaded applications and unistall any updates to Superuser. Finally, get Titanium Backup and then Uninstall Superuser.
Oh yeah and Reboot afterwards

Plz help confused

Is there either a superuser or super su app installed? There should be. Try going into whichever one you have and update binary, then rerun root checker and make sure you allow access when it asks for it

You only need one or the other, not both. Stick with whichever one came with the Rom. Go to the app and under settings choose update binary. If it asks for permission, grant it.
Delete whichever one you're not using.
And all custom ROMs on here are rooted

I've noticed with superuser I've sometimes needed to run the update a few times before it'll work.
If this has been a problem since you first flashed the ROM, I'd recommend doing a complete wipe of everything and reflashing the ROM

Frankenstein 3.8 Rom busybox problem

Apps that need busybox always request me to install busybox
When i install it either i get an error saying could not be installed or it installs but then restarts my phone and gets me stuck in a bootloop. Any help? Thanks.

It happens when u update the su binary. Always used to happen when I was on Frankenstein ROM 3.8 I dunno how to revert it though.
