Hey there! I have a question
What happen if i uninstall SuperUser? will I lose my root access or will my phone bricked?
If you want to know why I ask a question like that is because I've been trying to replace kingroot with superuser and I'm using this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...place-kingroot-superuser-guide-t3251013/page1
So far nothing wrong, the script work! after the terminal emulator, superuser lunch and after that i press home and then realise that my superuser app icon isn't at my homescreen, so I reboot then it still doesn't do anything so I updated superuser using Google playstore and then still nothing.
I decided to check root access. I still have my root.
Then i go to settings - apps and i try to search for superuser to see if its installed or not, it's there i couldn't figure it out. I try my best to find the answer
Even though i try my best to open superuser, it won't let me.
Help me please
Thanks [emoji2]

Hey guys.
I lost root access after flashing tweakmod coming from Gummy.
Root check seems to think I have it, SU apk is there, I just can't grant access. I tried updating busybox with no luck and SU didn't have an update.
lil help?
Try setting settings (lol) in the su app to "always allow" and see what happens.

This has been an issue mentioned a number of times across a number of threads - the best solution seems to have been to go to androidsu.com, download the superuser zip, and flash it.
Also, I would force the binary to update in the superuser app.
Go to Prefrences>Binary then update, and it will tell you that your binary is current, but update it anyways.
I've seen a few threads asking if it is posible to get this working on a rooted S3 so thought I'd share how I got it running.
Software Needed:
Permissions Denied (free from Play Store)
ES File Explorer (free from Play Store)
Barclays Mobile Banking
Steps:
Now, you may be able to just try the last step. I was messing around and managed to get it working after try all the steps without testing in between.
1: After installing Barclays open Permissions Denied and select Banking (the one with the Barclays logo).
2: Deny the 'android.permission.GET_TASKS'
3: Open ES File Explorer, navigate to '/system/app/' and rename SuperSU to anything you want.
4: Navigate to '/system/xbin/' and long press on 'SU' and select 'Hide' from the menu.
NOTE: if you update the SuperSU binary, you will need to do step 4 again!
That's it! I dont know if it will work for everyone but it works for me. I also dont know if Barclays can solve that with an update so I don't plan on updating the app. I'm not a coder and don't know a lot about tje technical details of Android so if you run in to problems I can only TRY to help you.
I've not tried to use any other apps that block rooted phones but feel free to let me know if this works on other things.
Thanks.

Ive been using this for a few days now but just started having FC's.
I just re- enabled the permission and rebooted and it's working again.

Will this work with the Skygo app?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
I'm not sure. This is the only app I use that checks for root privileges so haven't tested it on anything else.
Could you give it a try and let me know please? If it works for others then this could be a very useful work around.

I've just downloaded SkyGo and the app opens and I get to the TV guide and get the option to watch it of I sign in. I don't have Sky so can't test any further.
I'm assuming it checks for root when it opens so I'd class that as a success!

Thanks for testing im unable to do it myself because when I open it it fc straight away wich is probably something to do with my rom

Hi Faz - Thanks for the info. But when I install permissions, it asks for busybox. I installed busybox but it still says it has not detected busy box please install.
Any advice??
I cant find superSU in system/apps!?. It's not superuser.apk is it?

Permissions Denied is not free anymore
I've posted here how I got it working on my HTC One S, and I'm pretty sure (or hoping) it'll work on any Android phone.
Didn't paste the post here, unsure on if that's allowed.

This worked for me.
Very happy Galaxy S III user.
Thanks Faz1980.
Thank you so much.
Perfect!
This also works on the Galaxy Note II N7105.
One thing...make sure you use the REBOOT command in Permissions Denied after making the change.
superuser has a temp unroot option, it works to avoid root check on dutch live tv app.. try it

Unfortunately since upgrading my SGS3 to zoot1's version of CM10 with 4.2 Gapps, this stopped working for me.
I think this is mainly because zoot1's ROM comes with Superuser and not SuperSU.
However, I followed the instructions on this blog to remove Superuser and replace it with SuperSU.
I still can't get it to work though.
DISCLAIMER: I am NOT RESPONSIBLE on anything that will happen on your device such as getting bricked or malfunctioning. I only posted this little trick I found out to help others who are also in the same boat. This method MAY or MAY NOT WORK on your device, so proceed at your own risk.
=====================================
Maybe some of you have not seen any Superuser prompt that appears whenever you run apps that needs root (example are Link2SD, Titanium Backup) and etc. Out of frustration last night, I tried to find a way to fix this and I have indeed found it.
But before that here are some of the prerequisites needed:
-Phone/Tablet must be ROOTED
-Has access to system using File Explorers such as Mi(UI) File Explorer, Root Explorer and other explorer that DO NOT prompts Superuser. What I mean here is that you can see /data, /mnt, /etc folders and the like.
..and here are the little steps in fixing it:
1. Download and install BusyBox from Google Play Store.
2. Open BusyBox, select 1.20.2.
3. Click install, and wait for it and it's done.
4. After BusyBox has been installed, download SuperSU from Play Store.
5. Install and let it load.
6. After loading, press YES when asked to update SU Binary.
7. When it's done, press back and try apps that needs root like Titanium Backup.
And there, notification prompt would appear again!
NOTE: UNINSTALL, take note UNINSTALL previous Superuser app through Root Uninstaller. Main reason why that should be uninstalled so that there would be no conflicts with the SU app.
OPTIONAL: you MAY UNINSTALL BusyBox app but I recommend not so to avoid any problems.
I have also applied this method to my tablet that's already rooted but doesn't have Superuser app yet. A simple press of thanks is highly appreciated. :3
hey, I've been trying and trying again but still can't... what should I do? root explorer cant fix my problem.. superSU, superuser fixer, it can't fix my problem too.

It's not working for me neither, i can't fix this superuse thing
i just rooted my phone using motochopper. and am trying to use ltm launcher. every time i open it, it says root context not able to get permission.
and then when i go to the superuser, it says the superuser binary (su) must be updated. and it ask if i want to recovery install or just install, but none of it works. i even downloaded supersu from chainfire and it says there is no su binary installed. so i need help getting root permission to apps so i can get lmt launcher to work.
i read an old post with they guy with the same problem and u told him to flash it with something but i am not really sure how to do that. so if u can kind of explain how to do that.
thanks

Just installing the super user app from play store doesn't root your phone.
SuperUser app only manages root permissions. It itself does not root the phone. Head over to your xda section and read there how to root your phone .

Like I've said I have already rooted my phone using motochopper. That's not the problem. The problem is not getting super user updated

Did you follow the official rooting procedure as given in your xda forum? Because if your phone is rooted then you won't face any problem related to SuperUser app and updating binary and all these stuffs.
I've had the same problem as listed above.
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.
