Once you have achieved root (see other thread), to update the Superuser.apk to the latest version, run these commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
pm uninstall com.noshufou.android.su
Then search on the market for Superuser and download the one by ChainsDD. Confirmed working on latest Droid2 2.2 ota.
EDIT: To be safe, go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications and find Superuser. Then clear the data. This should prevent any of the Superuser issues discussed.
sorry..new to the whole android scene. are there any advantages to updating the superuser app the the latest version and can this command be input on the droid itself through the terminal app?

i like the interface much more and its got a new autoaccept after 10 seconds if you arent paying attention when the popup shows. it's up to you. i'm sure future root tools will just include it.
alright thanks. is it as simple as installing the new version and uninstalling the old? or does one need to enter the command prompts listed above?

that is what the commands do. unfortuantely, the old version is on the system partiton. this means that we must first mount the system and read/write and then manually delete the old version ourself. then the new version can be easily downloaded through the market. anyways, adb shell means it's done via your computer so its very easy to copy and paste like 3 commands.
Instructions work perfectly... thanks!

These instructions are not specific to the OS on your computer, they work with anything.
Perfect!
Worked great! Thank you!
Instructions worked fine (I just made them up for Linux), but the newest SuperUser is giving me weird results. Every program that requests root access will ask me numerous times, like it never remembers that I gave the app access. Like removing one app with titanium will it will ask me 4 seperate times to accept or deny permission. Other apps do this also. Anyone have a copy of the old apk I could reinstall? Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks

I had the same thing happen to me. Launch the new superuser app and go to settings. Unselect and reselect Notifications. Apparently it shows it being checked, but you have to recheck it for the actual setting to get saved.
After I did this, it only asks once for a program, and then I never see it again.

Nice, thanks!
I had that issue too. I ironically un-installed superuser and re-installed it and it worked fine too
I used Root Explorer to delete the old Superuser.apk from /system/app. Then I rebooted and installed the new version from the market. Worked great.

that works too though without having the superuser apk and rebooting, that could be a little dangerous for others hence my adb tutorial. no need for a restart either. could easily just use root explorer, delete the old, download new from market.
Worked great
I just renamed Superuser.apk to .bak then tried to install. Don't forget the last step. I had to adb (I was using terminal emulator) to do the last step then installed fine and removed Superuser.bak.
Thanks I like the New look.

I had the same problem. I rebooted my phone and then it installed fine. Not sure if it's risky to reboot once you remove the apk or not. However, it didn't cause any problems for me.

I basically did the same thing except I renamed instead of deleting it. Well, once I installed SU from the market, I can't find the .apk file even though it's running and launching correctly. I assumed it would be called superuser.apk in the system/app folder but only my old renamed superuser.bak is there. I'm just worried if there is an update in the future, I won't be able to rename since I can't find the .apk file. Anyone know where the .apk file is for this new version of superuser?

Tried this, and it didn't work for me. With Titanium Backup in particular, it will literally ask upwards of twenty times for permission. It's insanely annoying. Any other tips?
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
I im attempting to install this bootanimation with sound. With the direct instructions from the op here
When i type "su" in terminal emulator permission is denied.
I am setting the system folder as read/write using root explorer.
I tried it with just root set as read/write
I tries it with both as read/write
Still no go -permission denied
Superuser does not have any apk listed as being denied root access. Superuser has never prompted me to allow or deny terminal emulator root access.
Inspire (obviously) running CM7.0.3
Am I doing something wrong? or missing something? or could this be a error with terminal emulator and/or the ROM?
Thanks for any insight or ideas.
you should be getting a pop-up from super user right after you type su in the term emulator and hit enter.
i have this problem too
I had a similar problem like this when I first started out.......I ended up downloading root checker...which not only checks for root...but makes sure you have a recent version of busybox installed....in my case I didn't. I downloaded and installed busy box and it fixed everything.
Not sure if this will help you, but thought I would try.
Thanks S.Reno9. I installed root checker and I did have busybox installed and still no dice. I dont know what the deal is.
I really hope we can get some more help on this.
Reading this post confirmed the issue came from using Root Tools. What I did was move the cache back to data and SU started working again.
I also have this problem. How did you "move cache back to data." (sorry for the noob question)
same here
after type "su" dont get any pop window only permission denied
what to do now?
A couple things to try -
1 - Clear data from Terminal and Superuser and try again
2 - Uninstall and Reinstall Terminal and Superuser
I have had success with both of these suggestions and different times with this issue
Whoa - just noticed how old this thread was before you posted. Guess it's better than opening a new one.
Solved!
I tried installing busybox but no luck.
I copied the executable (in your case sh script) to root, and now it works fine
It's Super User issue
For me it was because of Super User updates and the problem solved after I had uninstalled the last updates for Super User
recommended from Google Play.
Thanks for the tips.
i have a samsung epic 4g. iused super1click but it is saying that busybox was not installed properly and now rooted apps are saying i do not have root access but root checker says i have root access please help
download "busybox installer" from the android market. you can install the latest busybox from it
i installed busybox installer but it is sayin it is already installed but not installed correctly
go into /system/xbin and /system/bin and look for the file "busybox." delete it and try installing it again with busybox installer
i have tried that in both system/bin and system/xbin but it will not delete. do i need a specific file management app

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i forgot to mention that you will need to mount your system as read/write. to do this, a file management app would be very helpful. root explorer in particular (a paid app, but as you may already know there are always ways to get apps for free; that is all i will say about warez as it is prohibited on xda). in root explorer, you can mount your phone between r/w (read/write) and r/o (read only). once you mount it as r/w, i believe you can now delete those files
one other thing i forgot to mention, i keep getting a notification that my su binary is outdated when i click to update it says fail.
ok so i was able to delete the busybox files out of the 2 folders but when i went to install it with the busybox app it says "it looks like busybox is installed but it does not appear to be the version that you selected to have installed, you may want to try the intalation again but this using a different istalation location." i try a different location and check my root checker and it keeps telling me that busybox is installed incorrectly
as i have not used superoneclick before, i have no knowledge about the su binary being updated. i used z4root to root my phone.
your best bet is to do one of the following:
a) if you can unroot your phone, then do so (i believe superoneclick allows you to unroot your phone). then try rooting it again using z4root. download z4root from here and tell me what options it gives you when you open the app (it should say either temporary root and permanent root; select permanent root). z4root should work on your phone as it has the same requirements as superoneclick (which is having android version 2.2/2.2.1)
b) if step a didnt work, post in the superoneclick thread for help. but step a should work

Hello readers,
I am aware that my resolution might not help everyone but it will definitely help some. This might only help if you are rooted and using the SuperSu app..
I know this is a really old thread. But there might still be people out there that have this problem and are having a hard time finding the the answer for it. I was just 5 mins prior searching on google for an answer but could not find one.
And so how did I fix it you may ask? (I hope)
Well long story short I turned the following option of in the SuperSu application: "Mount namespace separation"
I thought of this because I had seen a pop-up message when using Titanium Backup that if I experience problems, I should disable that option. And it was probably referring to the Titanium Backup app alone and not any other. But I gave it a shot and it worked.
In detail for those who need it:
It does not matter if you have the Busybox (by Stephen (Stericson)) application installed during this or not. (I had it uninstalled during)
Open the SuperSu app, swipe left on the screen twice so you get to the Settings page (or just click the Settings tab)
Scroll down until you see the option "Mount namespace separation".
If it is activated, disable it.
Reboot
Go ahead and install Busybox if you haven't.
Open Busybox and wait for it to load completely
Click install
Hurray!
Hello, i have bought busybox pro but i can't manage to install it through the app, in /system/xbin, i only have one file named "dexlist" and in /system/bin i have many files but none named busybox, when i try to install busybox on /su/bin, i get a message: "it looks like the installation of busybox was not successful / try installing it to a different location that may resolve the issue", but i tried differ'ent locations and it didn't work

I'd be happy to help. It's been a little while and I haven't repeated the process yet so forgive me if I'm not super clear, even though I think I should be.
So what I meant was get the app Root Explorer ($3.99 on the app store) I don't know how 'piracy' is really looked at on XDA, though I can't imagine well, but you can download the Root Explorer 'pro' apk, and then - as long as it helps - purchase the app from GPlay to make sure to support the devs, which is what I did.
So to get to the actual process - should be quite easy as I did this on OPR6 myself - open Root Explorer, navigate to the "root" tab at the top. Then you should see "Mounted as r/o" and right next to it, a button that says "Mount R/W". Toggle that button, and the text on the left should state "Mounted as r/w", then try to install busybox (however you prefer - I used BusyBox Free by Stephen (Stericson) like I always do).
Hope you are successful with that method, please keep me updated with your outcome so I can help as best as I can.

Latest end-user Omnirom 4.4.2 for the LG P500 can be found here:
http://jenkins.androidarmv6.org/job.../archive/omni-4.4.2-20140214-p500-NIGHTLY.zip
I am starting this to stimulate interest in the Omnirom, get/give advice and help on how to get it working on our device. My hope is that one of the devs would take this over and move from a discussion to a dev thread if need be. I can really offer no help at this point as I have not yet gotten this installed and running.
Another reason to start this is to keep from less than courtiously cluttering other threads with this stuff.
Finally, cm-11 for our device is quite problematic so I seek another Kitkat chocolate treat
==================================
Omni has two big problems holding up a working install on our device:
1. Omni is not rooted by default. I tried flashing a superuser.zip, still had no root. I have copied a full cm-11 su (binary) to the zip, tried that but installation was aborted for other reasons so could not yet test this approach. Please, devs, give us normal root in this ROM. Not so useful without it.
2. No adb until boot completed and I approve it. Great idea for security, but this thing is still experimental. So I cannot ride herd on the installation as I am accustomed nor run a certain script that I need from later cm10.* and cm11. As it turns out, Omni will run the script, cm11 would not. However, once I have attempted an Omni boot, I cannot get adb back outside of that successful boot until I restore another ROM! Means no adb reboot, adb reboot recovery, nada. Makes things very very problematic.
Omni will run my /data/local/userinit.d/ scripts which recent cm10.* and cm11 refuse. I always ran ICS this way, and I could presumably get a complete startup sans boot this way. To try this next--caution: Kitkat Link2sd mount script is not identical to previous ones so this must be placed to try this. Using the older version (maybe newer one as well!), everything simply FCs out, get nowhere. Link2sd needs root the create the script normally, Xposed needs root to get going, and Titanium and other tools are more useful with root as well. Lack of root is the main problem right now. Please ...
==========================
The usual disclaimer: If you have rooted your device, the warantee is void. Of course, for this oldie but goodie, that is just a distant memory. However, these phones are still being sold so if you got a new one, be warned.
I can not be responsible for brickage and breakage. Especially without that always active adb umbillical, it is much easier to soft-brick the device and it can get hairy-scarey getting back to recovery. Again, be warned.
The recent JB and KitKat ROMs are too large for our devices and must be trimmed before installation. My philosophy is that anything not needed to get Android up and running does not belong on system. Practically, anything installable from Play or side-loadable as user apps should be removed from system/app. Examples are Calendar (install Play version), calculator, camera/gallery, browsers, emailers and such. There are superior choices on Play or side-load those included with the ROM. If using Google Search, also remove the quicksearchbox. system/usr/srec, system speech recognition config, can be pushed to sdext and symlinked from there, freeing a good few meg. You do not need a lot but do need a few meg free on system.
Link2sd or equivalant is needed to keep data space available. Things get flakey when data space gets too low. Gluttonous apps like the newer Swype and Tapatalk (just a few examples--great apps, do not get me wrong) will very quickly run you out of data space and gobble up too much RAM as well, slowing the works. Choose wisely
So here is my next trial:
BACKUP!
Make sure no old 11link2sd script is on /data/local/userinit.d/
Wiped dalvik-cache, restored the sdext from the backup since the CWM seems to wipe this as well.
Wiped cache partition (actually, no longer used for very much!).
Installed the omni nightly which formats /system and proceeds.
Installed the minimal GAPPSlight.zip.
Reboot.
Came up just fine. First asks to enable adb for this computer, said "yes," "always for this computer."
Adb now active and adb, in any event, adb does have root!
Went to link2sd. Cannot get root. Went through all the setup options (including root for apps and abd!). Still not root.
So copied a new 11link2sd to /data/local/userinit.d/
Power menu advanced reboot active in setting and it actually works, avoiding above-mentioned fears
Rebooted.
Bootup runs all my scripts so now have all the link2sd-linked apps.
I could call this a BUG: It neither re-asks the adb question nor places it online. So ... no more abd
Still no root -- tried to activate exposed which without root will not do anything.
Rebooted anyway.
Came up just fine, as before. No root, no Xposed, Still no abd.
Comments:
Otherwise, works just fine, seems responsive. If I were willing to live without root, I could go on with it as a daily driver. Next trial, I will not check "always for this computer." Maybe then it will re-ask me and so re-enable abd.
Shares with cm-11 the flash of a disabled homescreen before the lockscreen. Harmless (as long as it is very brief).
Shares with cm-11 the "upgrading ... restarting apps ..." message on each reboot. Harmless, as long as linked apps, dexes are not being unlinked. Did not check, but cm-11 was no longer do that with the newest link2sd version.
The screen begins to turn off much more quickly. In cm-11, this took a good few minutes, eating the battery as it went.
Background processes came up more quickly (subjective) than cm-11, even though some lacked root to function correctly.
Did not really check if it shares the dissappearing data space problem which for many is a showstopper in cm-11. Initial space seemed appropriate, not half of expected amount. Without adb, can be checked using the SLW storage widget. I should really have done this.
Root remains the main problem with this. Neither flashing a superuser nor placing a full cm-11 su on the ROM enable root. Someone know how?
Attempts at getting root:
The recommended way is to flash SuperSU's zip (available from their XDA thread, surprisingly, not from Play). Since flashing this has twice bricked me up, I am loath to try that once more.
First attempt was the create an init.d type script to start the su daemon. I had placed a Cm-11 su on the ROM's zip before flashing. Voile, manually running that script from adb got me root. The command on adb shell hung up but it had run. Link2sd made its mount script (of which I have my own copy so whatever ...), even accepting the previous approval!
So I placed it on /data/local/userinit.d/ with all my others. On reboot, daemon was indeed running. Tried to activate Xposed. Attempts hung up, then failed. Running superuser (installed from Play as user app, symlinked) would FC. Noticed that I had multiple incidences of the su running which might be indicative of something!
So went back to recovery, removed my script, and flashed the CMW superuser.zip. On reboot, daemon was running. However, any attempt to use superuser FC'd. Removed the apk from system/app, rebooted to regain use of my installed version. Same result.
This issue of root needs be properly resolved to use this ROM.
So back to recovery and cm-10.2 which meanwhile may well be the optimal ROM for this device!
BTW: If the always for this computer was not checked on giving adb permission, after reboot and after a while, the question will be re-asked and one can get adb once again which is good new, though a bit less convenient.
This omni ROM from my humble opinion is quite bizarre and funny. What's really the intention to release ROM that need rooted device to install it (need recovery so first device must be rooted), but then rooted apps didn't work since no SU installed .
Sorry omni devs and anyone. No offence. Just express my opinion.
I tried Superuser.apk and SU from xda but failed.

Some things I'd like to ask/share
1. My play store isn't working. I've trimmed the ROM n installed gapps too n installed play services too. Bt when i open play store, it works fine. But i can only see spinner loading under 'My Apps' n when I install any app, it gives fc. Then i have to clear data to open it again. What to do? Is it something to do with dpi? Because I've changed the dpi.
2. How to change tiles? I can't get its settings.
3. Any other int2ext script working?
4. Screen record has a very low fps and after recording, the phone becomes unusable. Have to restart
5. I found this ROM more snappy than any other CM11. Thanks to performance controls. Its awesome!
6. Only if root worked, this would be the BEST KitKat ROM for our phone.
(I'm trying to fix it too)
This ROM can be used aa a daily driver if u don't use much apps and root isn't a big issue. Great work

EDIT:
Link for root in Omni ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50863602
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Tried again to get root:
I can, in adb shell, su --daemon.
This gets me root for this session. Link2sd will create its mount script!
Rebooted. Thought that the root could be magically persistent as someone posted on some thread somewhere (did a lot of searching! and there were two instances the last time when I used a init.d script to do this). It was not so did su --daemon. Tried to use Xposed. Chugged a while, permission denied. CWM superuser's UI does not work on cm-11, not on this either. But it did not FC!
So I adb pushed SuperSU to system (I have enough room!). It wanted to install its binary. So I rebooted into recovery and flashed that.
On reboot, the su daemon was indeed running It has an 'R' instead of an 'S' on the column before its name. SuperSU also had a process running so thought hey, OK (and it did not brick the phone this time!). Tried to run Xposed. Simply sat there. Tried to run SuperSU, said it needed its binary and could not install it. Yuk! Never did like this app. On cm-10.2, even if CWM superuser wants a new binary, its UI will work anyway. Tried to run that. FC this time.
I never did check free data space.This after several successful reboots with no alarms about it. Overlayed the SLW widget onto link2sd and ran it. Only had 20meg. Fact is I had never ran link2sd to clean up dalvik and such so tried it now. Relink all apps simply chugged along. This can take time, even if it reports nothing to do! Finally lost patience with it but could not kill link2sd with back key (My fault? Options do not take effect until setting run, even if they were checked, it seems). Have to consider the possibility that the "disappearing data space" bug may be in this ROM as well as cm-11 (which, if so, would place it in the AOSP code!). No real way to check it without working root so everything plays.
Rebooted recovery, back to cm-10.2. BTW: the su daemon here has the 'S'.

This ROM can be used aa a daily driver if u don't use much apps and root isn't a big issue. Great work

Yeah. Since I can get link2sd mounts either by running the daemon once or placing my copy, I have all my apps available (root ones will not be very happy). I used Xposed and need one round of root for this but that, as opposed to link2sd, did not work.
I have to admit that I do not know much about how su works. But the same su file is present in /system/xbin and is listed in file_contexts. SU.apk or supersu.apk have not been included in /system/app for at least cm10.1+.

Is that su in /system/xbin is binary command to get root access on system file? You must run this command in terminal. However, Terminal.apk only can be launched if SU.apk or Superuser.apk present in /system/app.
So, in my opinion SU or Superuser is needed to run rooted apps (such as TB, Link2SD). Maybe Busybox is required too?

System/xbin/su is the binary. One included on the ROM is tiny, barebones (no root). I replaced it with one from cm-11. When it is working right, I believe this gives you the dialog: Allow-Deny, Now-10min-always and such. It also has a daemon mode which services root access. I have not gotten the dialog on the Omni after manually starting the daemon.
That daemon needs be started early-on. Even an init.d script may not be good enough (Omni has real init.d capability as opposed to cm-11!). There is a "persistant-root" item in cm-11's build.prop. Maybe this will work here too the with cm-11 binary?
The apk is a user installable app (or gets placed on system by flashing zip). This gives access to the application-by-application permissions granted or denied in the above dialog, enabling changing them. SuperSU offers the most alternatives but is the most ticklish. CWM superuser is simpler, less finicky but seems not to work on 4.4.*. This is part of the problem. On cm-11, I have root, have the above dialog, superuser does not FC but no UI. On the Omni, since root was achieve manually after-the-boot, more problematic.
There are other apks around, superuser-elite, paid versions, etc. They are not exclusive--I had three of them around until I removed them and kept CWM. Any one of them good on cm-11? Should!!! work here too, he-he. The apk is not necessary to service root (i.e. mine is link2sd-symlinked and before link2sd gets its root, no mount script so no app seen).

Busybox is there, we do not have gnutls like normal distros--most everything goes through included busybox.
Terminal will work without the apk on /system/app. Cannot judge from the Omni because of no or incorrect root
I just learned a new set of tricks.
[email protected]:/ $ su -h
Usage: su [options] [--] [-] [LOGIN] [--] [args...]
Options:
-c, --command COMMAND pass COMMAND to the invoked shell
-h, --help display this help message and exit
-, -l, --login pretend the shell to be a login shell
-m, -p,
--preserve-environment do not change environment variables
-s, --shell SHELL use SHELL instead of the default /system/bin/sh
-v, --version display version number and exit
-V display version code and exit,
this is used almost exclusively by Superuser.apk

Yes, this simply a root version of sh. The one on this ROM probably will not allow anything.
The one from cm-11 will check permissions, give the dialog to ask if root working correctly.
Latest build omni-4.4.2-20140227 is up, triggered by androidmeda :good:
http://jenkins.androidarmv6.org/job/omni/4/
Download here:
http://jenkins.androidarmv6.org/job/omni/4/artifact/archive/omni-4.4.2-20140227-p500-NIGHTLY.zip
Will try is that SU or Superuser included
EDIT:
Just flashed it with clean install.
1. System reboot took under 3 minutes :good:
2. su binary exist at /system/xbin but not link to busybox binary which is present also at /system/xbin.
3. Installed Terminal.apk, it works but denied to run su command line
4. Installed Root Explorer.apk, works fine but failed to access root, such to change permission R/W of /system folder.
5. Referring to 3 and 4, apps need root access failed to work.
6. Tried to install SuperSU flashable zip, it replaced su binary from stock and it caused apps which is need root access (in my case gooim manager, root explorer, and Link2SD) not responded and apps're getting hang
7. Installed Superuser, launched it, works but need su binary.
Do we need latest SuperSU or Superuser, hence su binary is compatible with Android 4.4.2 ?. The installed one is for Android 2 and 3.

Do not know what has changed. There have been kernel merges, etc.

The /system/xbin/su included with this ROM is for no-root access allowed. A blocker.
I placed the su from a cm-11 ROM. This can run its daemon and get root access. Works for link2sd but nothing else (i.e. Xposed), apparently. According to some googled posts, that daemon must be started very early on (as I stated before). I had it in an init.d script. Started but had same negative results. May try the persist.sys.root_access=1 flag in build.prop. Maybe the internally buried code in boot.img will start the daemon as requested here (if it was not removed). There is no explicit script in the cm-11 ROMs to start that daemon.
i have got an idea. But where is the source?
is this the source?
If yes, then where is settings?
EDIT:
Ok got it. Editing

Okay. Waiting for edited omni ROM (SuperSU included ?), as you did with cm-10.1.5-KITKAT-Update_3 :good:
Wish you luck

Great. SuperSU itself is problematic but will suffer with it if it works. Would prefer generic like other ROMs.
Anyway, as in my OP, I would be looking for a dev to take this thread over as a dev thread (or open one).

Labeled for commits about boot animation.
Anyway, downloading.
Trying to sideload some APKs but they won't install. At the end all I get is app not installed. F-droid or adaway whatever
Running cyanogenmod 12 on nexus 5 (rooted) so I have no clue what it could be
Tried using terminal to install and got some "neither user nor current process has android.permission.install.package error
Also tried moving the apk to /system/app but it wouldn't let me saying I don't have permission. ( thought root was supposed to give me permissions )
Also tried signing the apk with zipsigner
Any ideas guys ? Someone must've had a problem like this before
To push something to /system, you'll need to remount it RW (that stands for Read/Write).
