If you have SuperSU, open it, goto settings, change 'Default Access' to 'Grant'

Make sure in apps tab, you have given Access as 'Grant' for that app.
If that doesn't help, try some other root app and check if that app works.

The best way is flashing SuperSU zip from custom recovery

with cf-root you can root-unroot with supersu app.
just go in settings --> enable superuser
this hide the root, without reboot.
I use it every day

problem is that with the latest OTA upgrade the multiwindows settings have been over-ridden to default, so I lost all non-native multiwindow apps, and the only way to have them back is root
I was trying to install a custom font and it was saying the app was saying it couldnt gain root access, so i checked some other apps and titanium backup, superuser and busy box all couldnt gain root access. I also downloaded root checker and that also said i wasnt rooted but i have Slimkat rom installed along with clockworkmod. anyone ever had a similar problem or know how to fix this?

So I rooted my T-Mobile Note 2, The SuperSu was installed but every Time I try to run it it says "SuperSu has stopped wroking" then I get a pop up from my phone saying that it blocked an app trying to reach something on the phone. So my question is, Is my phone rooted or not?

IDK what you did or not! Safe your contacts and so on. NO MATTER what you do, you can always set the phone back to stock by flashing a firmware package via ODIN. If you have already modified the system, a factory reset can brick it.

I am kinda in a pickle here. I was rooting my phone using this Chinese .exe application and it had a big check Mark on the screen so I unplugged my phone. Mistake. It turns out that it kinda rooted my phone. No root apps work because the super su app that it downloaded with root was not working. I opened it up and it said I had to update my su binaries or something so I hit continue and it had an error that it couldn't download. I then tried installing titanium backup to try and uninstall it but sense I need super su to give it root, I can't uninstall it because of the super su problem. I tried installing superuser and it didn't work. Now I'm stuck because I can't fully root my phone with other ways which I have no idea why and i can't uninstall the bad super su app because I need it to work for me to be able to do it. I tried flashing my rom again but this stupid error saying I had to have internet to update software kept me from doing that and I DID have full internet access. I am stuck. Why can't their be just some extreme data reset that REALLY resets your phone. My phone still works fine but I have cod and having this problem is killing me, I almost can't even use my phone. PLEASE HELP I REALLY NEED IT!!!!

If you cannot update binaries, that usually means SuperSU cannot access root.
With a root browser (you shouldn't need root to do this though) look in /system/etc/init.d. Look for 99SuperSUDaemon. Also in /system/xbin look for daemonsu and su. Tell me if any of those are missing.
