Sharing this here in case it saves somebody else an hour or so.
I rooted my stock Infinity ROM at ICS and have followed all the OTA updates to current 4.2.1 just using OTA Rootkeeper, apparently successfully. It was only recently when I tried to add another app that required root that I discovered I couldn't grant root permissions. To make it worse, I cleared SU data in an attempted fix which successfully removed root from apps that had been OK :crying:
Then I came across this fix that had been applied to a TF300:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183105
It works as described on the TF700 too and seems to have completely fixed my problem.
Thanks to Koush for the fix to blubbhome for posting it somewhere I could find it.
I am out of warranty now and about to install a different ROM so thanks to all devs for the good work.

I am using S7, and after updating with hellraiser to the latest root has basically diappeared. I still have Superuser, but everything is denied, like Nitrality, TiBu, root explorer cannot change it to R/W... Any ideas how to get it back without a reflash of the rom? I tried reflashing beta 1.0 and beta .6 see if that helps, but a not go.
Its frustrating because I would just reflash a new rom, but cannot do a tibu backup without root. Any thoughts would be great.
If it help anyone else who loses root but still sees super user, try the following su binary fix:

Flash it, and this could do it for you. I tried this on two different roms that gave me root issues after a kernal update, and this took care of it. Hope it helps someone.
I hope this isn't a duplicate, I did search before trying to post here. XDA won't let me post to ROM thread as I'm a n00b, so this is my only option.
Using Pyramid3D ROM on my Sensation 4G, yesterday I allowed Superuser to update from the Market and now nothing gets Root access.
Any suggestions?!? Thanks in advance!
Well, I found my own way to fix my issue. I uninstalled SuperUser from the device and then just reflashed the ROM and the incremental update and it worked fine. Just FYI...
I got the an update on it recently but I didn't get any issues, but I know that it went buggy a few weeks ago and it wouldn't allow anything to get superuser access..

try using an updated superuser and don't use this section of the thread when asking questions..
you should use CWM to flash superSU.
You will need SuperSU instead of SuperUser.

Hi
Many people complained last days that they have problem with SuperSU 0.99 app.
They cant update the binary and phone reboots its self after "update failed" message
I got an HTC One S with S4 cpu last week and i got the new Jelly Bean Update 4.1.1
Then i unlocked my bootloader and installed TWRP custom recovery with One_S_All-In-One_Kit_v3.0 tool kit
After that i tryed to Root the phone with SuperSU 0.99.
Seems worked fine until i tryed to update my binary.
I get message "update failed" and my phone restarts.
I tryed to wipe and reflash the root but still same.
I even tryed to remove SUPERSU from System/App but with no luck. It keeps coming back even if i
removing it and revert everything to stock its still in SYSTEM.
Now i found this new Superuser version and flashed it and now my phone works fine and updating binary.
No more phone restart.
Even my SuperSU 0.99 is gone from system.
How TO:
Download superuser from this page http://androidsu.com/superuser/
Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip
Then boot into recovery
Flash Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip
Restart and voila the root works...
Hope i helped you guys.. Good Luck
Version 3.1.3 is reported to work better.
And doubt it really needed a new thread starting its discussed in most rom treads.
I started this thread just because of the issue SUPERSU 0.99 brings to HTC One S with Jelly Bean update.
I hope i can help someone because i didnt find any solution to my problem until i flashed superuser and it solved my problem.

I agree that this adds clutter, but I have been lightly following the threads for the JB ROMs and tried using superuser (though not the rc) without it working (still unable to update system). It's good to have this kind of solution in its own thread but general would probably be a better section.

This doesn't belong in the dev section for multiple reasons

Im sorry i didnt see that it was Development section. If someone can move it pls do so.
everyone uses SU...... this is very important for everyone using JB... leave it in here...
I feel it belongs here... this is where SU apps are in the development section... SO, this is where it should stay... (that is just my opinion)
I never want to start this thread like an development because im not a developer.
Reason is that i want to share my issue with anyone who is facing the same problem as i did.
Just like i said if someone think this thread doesn´t belong here then admins can move it to right section.
Updated to JB with OTA yesterday night.
Short version:
-Initially rooted with CWM recovery-> flashed MoDaCo stock recovery
-Apply OTA
-Flash CWM recovery
-Used CWM recovery to flash SuperSU 0.99 zip
-Uninstall/reinstall SuperSu from the Market
When starting SuperSU, it asks for update, if agree -> reboot.
BUT
When using root needing apps, like Titanium backup or FX file manager, they ask for root permission through SU and everything runs normally.
So SuperSU seems to work, only the front end app has some bug. I'm staying with that config waiting for an update.
Hi, same problem here on S3 cpu. Is this method works on S3 cpu as well? Thx for replying.
Hi. I think I have a problem with SuperSU (or something else??). I first started SuperSU last thursday (31.1.2013.). It ask me to update binary, I hit OK, and then it took about half hour to restart. System then recovered, and everything seem to be OK, but it's not!
When I connect my HTC One S to PC I only see files created (photos, videos) until 31.01.2013. Also, when I run Settings -> Memory com.android.settings crashes.
What to do?
I'm new to android. Plese help!

Any idea on how to get SuperSU work instead of SuperUser? I purchased SuperSU in the play store and I think it just looks better...
Hello xda.
A few weeks ago I started getting this notification telling me a new system update was available but when I tried to do it, it wouldn't install. I quickly discovered it was because my device was rooted. I followed this guide to get the update (more to get rid of the annoying notification really) ; I made sure do download the right stock image (my device is a XT1541 2 GB) and to flash all the system.img_sparsechunk files (there are 8 in this case) and it went smoothly (booted alright) up until the rooting part.
Basically, I followed RootJunky's video tutorial but after applying the root I can't get past the bootloader's warning screen. The only difference between me and RJ is both TWRP and SU I used are more recent versions (the latest ones).
In the end I just restored the backup I had made "just in case" before the manual update (boy am I glad I made this one) and my phone's back to working order, except not updated.
So here I am : what can I do about it? Is it still possible to root this phone (youtube commentaries indicate I'm not the only one with this issue)? Worst case scenario, is there a way to get rid of the update notification?
Any help is appreciated.
You'll need a systemless root.

Thank you both for your answer.
Turns out the method linked didn't work for me. Not only was the root not applied according the supersu app, but I still got an update notification after 'rooting' the phone (even though I checked for update after booting the newly installed rom for the first time and there wasn't any).
I decided to go a different route and used Titanium Backup to freeze the Motorola Update app. Hopefully this will do the trick of sparing me the notifications until I can figure out how to get OTA updates.

No offense, but if you didn't have root then TiBu wouldn't work properly... Obviously the rooting worked.
Rooting itself doesn't prevent updates or there notification, it just keeps it from being applied properly. Freezing the app in TiBu should prevent it though.

I forgot to mention I restored my functional backup when I saw my manipulations didn't work. I used TB after that.

I now have the latest stock rom and it's rooted
Thank you for existing XDA! :good:
