I'm using the SuperSU app on my S3 running KitKat (slimkat 7). I have recently been unable to grant any new apps superuser access. The dialog appears on my screen that "Application X is requesting superuser access" and it has the usual two buttons "Grant" and "Deny" but I cannot press anything. The screen is just unresponsive. So every time I end up having to wait for the timer to count down to 0 and it will automatically deny the request.
Any ideas? Is there a better SuperUser app to be using? I was always under the impression that SuperSU was the definitive app. I remember in the past I had been using another SU app and I had to switch over to SuperSU in order for something to work correctly.
Any help is appreciated!!

I ended up switching to the Superuse app by ChainsDD. It's been working good so far!

I've found with some versions of Kitkat you have to flash the zip file for supersu in recovery to get it working. Personally I use supersu and haven't run into many problems at all

Hey, so just rooted lg axis using the zip file found In another forum. Downloaded adfree or adblocker watever the name, and it didnt ask for permissioN nor did it sjow up on the app list in the superuser app. Tried other root apps and none asked for permission. Please help!
have you tried going into settings and clearing data for superuser
I had this same issue, and wanted to come back and post the solution that worked for me, as I could not find the answer with google-fu.
In Super user app, goto preferences, tap the "SU Binary tap to update " button. When you do, it will ask for su rights, allow, then do it again, as it will fail the first time.
I then rebooted.
Now when you run other apps (I tried adfree) that need SU superuser app will track them.
I also enabled Use advanced prompt and outdated notification.

OMG. disabling and Enabling notifications helped... my root suddenly started to work LOL. The most stupid thing ever. especially when i still cant see ANY prompts while having new root apps.
TY m8 anyways!
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.
Hey,
A few days ago, my Superuser app stopped granting root access, and now it crashes ranodmly.
I know I'm not the first one and I read many things about it but everything I tried was unsuccessful.
I tried to update the Superuser app but it needs root access at the end of the process.
I checked if my phone was still rooted with a "Check Root" app and it's still rooted.
I tried to install BusyBox, but it needs root access.
I tried to uninstall the Superuser app and the re-install it but since it's a default app included with my ROM I can't uninstall it.
I have a Galaxy Appolo running with Kyrillos 9.7.
Does anyone know how I can fix this ?
Superuser app is being reported to have issues at some point. Try Chainfire's SuperSU app, and see if that works.
If that too didn't work, maybe your root permissions have been messed up, not sure though.

I installed it, but when I launch it it tells me to update the SU binaries. I tried to do it but the process just seems to take forever, so I suppose it's not working.

Then I guess there are problems with your root permissions maybe. Try other Superuser app just to confirm it, and if needed re-install your ROM as a last resort.

Just received my OPO and unlocked, flashed recovery, and rooted it using the lastest SuperSU via TWRP. I noticed that upon launching an app that requires root access, I am prompted to grant root permissions, however, I am unable to click "grant" or even "deny". I simply have to let the window timeout and fail to give root permissions. I don't believe it's a screen sensitivity issue as I am able to click that area when the prompt is not there.
Any ideas as how to resolve this issue?
Thanks!
Resolved - for whatever reason, Tapjacking protection needs to be unchecked in order to interact with the prompt.

What's that? Is this an app?

I have SuperSU v2.40 on CM11S. Initially when I started using apps that required root worked with the prompt. I was trying to give root permission to MultiROM Manager via the prompt and for some reason the prompt window is unresponsive to taps/touches. This problem also happens in any new app that also requires root access. I tried disabling the prompt and selecting the option to grant all apps root permission and that seems to solve the problem, but obviously that is not something I'd like to use on a daily basis. Is this a known issue with SuperSU? What should I do to fix this? Re-install? I did not find any way to add apps to the SuperSU list manually (on the non-Pro version), is there one?
I installed root by flashing it through TWRP (2.8.4.1) after completely restoring back to CM11S (44S, Stock Kernel) via fastboot couple of days back.
UPDATE: The problem was with Tapjacking protection under SuperSU's Settings. Switched off temporarily, gave some apps the root permission and switched it back on.
UPDATE 2: The problem was because of Lux. The app controls the brightness by putting an overlay which prevents you from tapping the SuperSU prompt.
Came here to say exactly what you found out lol glad you figured it out
If you ever have issues trying to install an apk in the future, it's due to the same thing with lux. Disable it temporarily and you will be able to click the install button for the apk.
