Any time you flash or install SuperSU, it always asks you to update su binaries the first time you open SuperSU after flashing it or installing it.

But before i tried to add and change with busybox, Super Su zip installs apps and does not ask to update binary.

Any time, and I mean, ANY TIME you flash SuperSU or install SuperSU, the first time you actually open the SuperSU app, it prompts the user to update the su binaries, this is a default action, it is SUPPOSED to do this. I've had to this on every device that I've ever installed SuperSU on and I've used it on many different devices.

I'm trying to tell you that it isn't "a problem", it is completely normal. It isn't anything to be concerned about. It is doing exactly what it is supposed to do.

The only mistake you made is not allowing it to update the binaries when it asked. Just update the binaries and reboot the device and you're done.
Stop freaking out like something is wrong, it isn't. I told you, it is doing EXACTLY what it is supposed to do.
Do want to continue using SuperSU? If the answer is yes, update the binaries.

Latest SU update...

I updated SU last night and used the app to push the file and now I can't get root access.
Anyone gotta fix?
Did you set the permissions correctly on the binary?
You need to give more detail otherwise.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
How about you tutor me on how to set the permissions correctly ... if you don't mind.
I used the app to try and update. It would not update successfully through the app so it put a .zip file in /sdcard so I moved to external, to flash and I get a bad file error from CWR
Which app are you trying to update from and which zip are you trying to flash with cwm?

Well, assuming you didn't replace the boot image, you should be able to remount with "adb remount", I suggest you follow my rooting guide from that line, which will also help you with permissions etc.

just to be clear I am already rooted and have no problems with root until I try to update SU.
Uninstall update and restore nandroid back to root with no problems ..

Well, either don't update su, or follow my guide as suggested but replace my superuser files with your updated ones.

I just wonder why the update will not work
i have this exact same problem. it wasnt working so i updated through the market and it worked for one app and then it wouldnt at all. i tried updating the binary like Brenardo but i get the same error and in CWM it says its a bad file
Same here really annoying.

The problem is the su installed by SuperUser app is not compatible with the Xoom. All you have to do is do a terminal session or use adb with the "adb shell" command which will get you to:
$
type "su" and hit the enter key and it should give you back:
#
If it doesn't, and you get the following:
reloc_library[1315]: 2756 cannot locate '_mktemp'...
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE
The 1315 and 2756 might not be the exact numbers since I didn't note down the exact numbers before I looked up how to root a Android device when one has lost root.
See post #340 in the following thread for the fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117004
This is the previous version of the su binary that was modified to work on the XOOM which is version 2.3.1-ef, hopefully there will be a modified version of 2.3.1-efg available soon.
So the zip file that is put on the SD card is the file that we need to push?

Consider that some updates are incompatible or just bad. I am not allowing the update. I have disabled auto update. My current superuser is just fine, thank you.

No, unzip the zipfile and you will get a file called su which is what you need to push. The zipfile is only for convenience and also so you will know if the file is corrupted or not when you download.

The only reason it worked is because Superuser app (the graphical program in the GUI) and su binary which resides in /system/bin are two different things altogether. Previously, the newest su binary was version 2.3.1-ef so Superuser app will not prompt you to update the su binary as it's the same version as what you already have on your device. When the new Superuser came out, after you open Superuser the first time after the new version it's installed, it prompted and told you that a new version of the su binary is available and if you declined it, you wouldn't have the problem. If you accepted it, it basically replaced the existing su binary and replaced it with the new one which is version 2.3.1-efg. No different than if you had Honeycomb 3.1 installed, it would not update unless the number is greater than 3.1.
The latest superuser 2.3.6.3 update can update the su binary to 2.3.2-efgh now which does update automatically and work correctly on the Xoom.

Thanks for the pointer. When 2.3.6.3 came out and I installed it, it did prompt with the su binary update but I cancelled it while I updated the su binary on my Motorola Droid. So when I saw your post, I went into the SuperUser app and went to settings and clicked on check for Su binary update, it said checking failed so I basically copied the updated su from my Motorola Droid and it works.

ROOT but no need root access managerment

root always provide with superuser or superSU, which I don't need them in fact, I want to grant any app permission they want, how can I do that.
in other word, I want to root access without the permit of superuser or superSU

why so for example you want a app that you might download that seems fine but gets root access (and as there no manger gets it right away) and then steals all your info and then deletes your android fiel system...sounds good to me

The supersu website has a flashable binary so you can just flash it from recovery (or open the zip and see where it gets put)

not working, every apps need root stop function after uninstall supersu then flash the su binary
The su binaries are written for the su control apps, they probably refuse to grant su without the app being installed.
A not so unwise security decision.
Isn't there an option in SuperSu to grant root to all by default?

When you click update does it request superuser permissions?
Have you disabled first superuser?
Then you have to open and update the binares of supersu
At the end you can update from market the app and re-upgrade new binaries
how to disaple superuser i installed supersu and it replaced superuser without configuring anything and begin to appear in situations that need permissions do it mean that superuser is disabled although indid not do anything to disable it or extra steps needed to disable superuser completely ??
okay...i was able to fix it...someone need to modify the guide to include that we have to go to google play and download the SuperUser by ChainDD to fix the SU update request. best i can figure out is that SuperUser was borked and probably couldn't update itself. it not odd to see that happen.

[Q] Lost root access?

Hi guys android newbie here! My friend rooted my Nexus 5 and it was working fine for a couple of weeks. Yesterday I tried to open SuperSU and it didn't work! Other apps that required root didn't work either.
I have been looking around and it seems OTA updates may have screwed up my root. Every time I try to open SuperSU it says: "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!" If you just upgraded to Android 4.3 (I have 4.4), you need to manual re-root. Consult the relevant forums for your device!" I have used root checker by joeykrim and it says "Sorry! this device does not have proper root access" (to confirm my root is busted).
My question is, is there any way to fix this without re-rooting? If I have to re-root, can I just directly re-root it again using something like Wugs rootkit?
Thank you very much in advance!

Hmmm... from the link I posted in one of my last post, you can just use a useful app called "flashify" and flash it that way (the easiest way) but you need that file that is in the link obviously to do so haha. So afterwards when in flashify you'll get 3 simple options, boot image, recovery image, and zip file. choose zip file, go into your downloads folder from the file explorer from the app (which it should be there if you downloaded it off your phone) and let the app do the rest

Ok so I can't open flashify either. It also says I have lost root access and my superuser is busted. I have attached a screenshot!

Of course, you don't have root access, silly me lol Well guess we'll have to do it the hard way (it's not really that complicated) ok read carefully. Power off your phone, afterward hold the power and volume down buttons which should get you into the bootloader, cycle trough the options with the volume buttons and when you see recovery mode select it with the power button, now depending on which Recovery you have you'll have to choose the option that says install or install from sd card, again, depending on which one you have this will be slightly different. After doing i believe the paths will be the same, chose 0/ then look for the download/ folder which you should have that supersu.zip file, if you're using twrp recover it should be touch screen and you simply select it and swipe to install, if you're using cwm (which i do) you'' have to scroll with the volume buttons and select the file with the power button to install. I hope I was as clear as i could be, good luck
after going into recovery mode, there is just a android robot with his chest open and an exclamation mark! can't proceed after that.
Ouhhh you don't have a recovery then, do you have adb or any kind of toolkit?
I have wugs toolkit. but every time i try to do anything at all on it. It says ADB device not found? That seems to be preventing me from doing anything as well.
Do you have the adb drivers installed or/and usb debug turned on in developer settings?
how/where do i install adb drivers? I have not done so, and i doubt my friend did it when he rooted.
I do turn on usb debugging when i tried to unroot/root on wugs toolkit
In wugs toolkit it has a walk-through on how to do so, i suggest you use the RAW drivers option
I must be blind to not have seen this before. Thank you very much for your help I'll let you know how it goes!

Rooting wont erase anything. Drop the toolkit learn to do it manually, it will save you a lot of headaches. Copy the su file to your phone, reboot into TWRP recovery, install from zip, find and install superSU file. If root does not stick, look into SU settings and remove " Respect CM Root Settings " and reboot to system.
