You might have accidentally denied DriveMount Super User access at one time or something...etc
start up Super User and you will see it listed the many programs that has been granted or denied... You can select DriveMount from the list and choose "forget" option...
Reboot... or start DriveMount again...
You should now be prompted to give SuperUser access to it... remember to allow and choose to remembered the permission

That took care of it, thanks.
Thanks, it woked fine and added to my Knowledge.

i have another problem. i can't access the superuser app in my htc sappire
is really annoying when i try to use any bluetooth application like "bluetooth file transfer"
what should i do? is there a way to update super user or just remove it?

Root (of all evil). Help with Root Problem Please.

I used to have superuser/root running fine on my Vibrant. Busybox, titanium backup, everything worked.
I went to install RyanZA's lag fix (specifically the update.zip pack with a new superuser app, different busybox, etc someone else made) and started having troubles. The superuser requests were not working.
Now, I tried to go back to the original update.zip on this thread. I have the original Ninja superuser icon, etc. Now, when programs request SU, I can click allow or deny, the program hangs, and then I get:
"Sorry!
The appication Superuser Permissions (process com.noshufou.android.su) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
And my root access is denied.
I've restarted, used different superuser update.zips, all about 10 times each in different combinations. I can't get past this error.
Question: How can I erase all the root crap I have on my phone and start over fresh? I can't even terminal "SU" to enable superuser.
lag fix...? vibrant isnt fast enough for you?

QUOTE OF THE DAY!!!
As for your issue, you may try contacting the person whose update.zip you used and ask what it modifies/any reported issues like yours, and how to fix it. That's your best bet I think.
Have you tried using Clockwork ROM Manager and restoring to a pre-lag fix state? This same problem happened to me when I tried to install the lagfix from an update.zip file that I tried to access by rebooting the phone while holding down the volume and power keys.
The only way I got the lagfix to install properly was to use Clockwork to restore using nandroid, then used the one-click method (connected to the pc, in debugging mode, etc.). Now everything is working perfectly.
BTW, I have read some folks posting that they can't tell the difference between stock and lagfixed... My experience is exactly the opposite. The Vibrant is *much* faster when lagfixed.

Clockwork was unable to work because superuser kept crashing. I couldn't do ANYTHING root related.
I did solve the problem though, so for anyone else that has the same issue with SU FCing:
Goto: Menu - Settings - Applications - Manage Applications - Menu button - Filter, Choose to show "all" - Find & choose Superuser Permissions in the list - CLEAR DATA.
This fixed the problem for me, hopefully this will help someone else!

I had this same problem (Clockwork couldn't fix permissions because Superuser Permissions kept FC'ing, and lots of google searching resulted in no help until I found this. Saved me from losing a few days of important text messages because I'm an idiot and hadn't backed up prior to doing a cognition update that didn't go well the first time around. THANK YOU!
worked! you the man my gee
Thanks man..
It seems that it happened when I uninstalled some apps. after that I connected my rooted Desire Z to PC, typed "adb shell" and "su" and.... "permission denied" appeared!
Went through some other apps, and none of them had root access! After rebooting phone, Superuser app crashed, and it kept crashing...
I cleared application data for Superuser app, and - voila! I got my root back again!
Thanks!
Have the droid charge. Superuser stopped working. All my apps started failing with "the application superuser has stopped unexpectedly". Clearing the data didn't do anything. I finally cleared data, uninstalled the superuser app and reinstalled it. Back up and running. Thanks everyone!
Been having issues with the most recent few ARHD ROMs (HTC Sensation), superuser force closing, etc. cleared SU data and all is well again! thanks.

[Q] How do I load Clockwork Recovery

So I just rooted my Aria with Unrevoked 3 and when it was done I got this cool green Clockwork Recovery menu. I clicked "reboot system" and now I'm wondering how I ever load or access that menu again.
Also, when I click Superuser Permission there is nothing there yet. Is that normal?
Lastly, can I delete HTC Driver Installer and HTC BMP USB Driver or should I leave them. I had to remove HTC Sync to root the phone. I assume I'll want to be able to communicate the phone with my PC in the future, so how do I go about doing that?
Also, I used Astro to create a new folder in the root directory and it said "operation failed". Am I not really fully rooted?
Sorry for the newbie questions.

Clockwork Recovery has replaced the stock recovery, and you access it by holding the vol-down button as you power on the phone.

Yes, it's normal. Applications will appear on the list as they request superuser permissions and you take action.

You do not need HTC sync to for basic communication with the phone (file transfer & adb) but if you continue using and HTC based rom, you can reinstall it and continue to use it.

Hey, that's another question after "lastly".
Yes, you're fully rooted, but even root access does not give you permission to write on a read only partition. Most Android phones are nand locked - meaning when the system is booted, the /system partition is read-only.
Until we get an engineering SPL (or equivelent) for the Aria, we can only access the system partition reliably for write access in Clockwork Recovery. This is how we flash custom ROMs.
Really, these are good noob questions but don't belong in the development area and should be in general. This isn't the only post in the wrong area.

Rooted but not Rooted

I rooted my phone following these instructions. All seemed great. I then downloaded BusyBox and it says I am root but can't install as I "may not have nand root access".
Also when I connect to the Terminal Emulator I downloaded from the market place and from ADB SHELL I get "Permission denied" when trying to su. Any ideas??
I followed Part 1 and Part 2 in the video. JuiceDefender shows I am root and so does BusyBox. I also have SuperUser application but nothing shows in the logs or in the application list. I figured I get notified if an app asks for SU but nothing notified me. Just "Permission Denied".
Still no idea. Fiddling around with it and it still thinks it's rooted in some applications but a adb shell or terminal emulator (on the phone) and it says SU permission denied.
Do you have a superuser icon?!
yep. sure do. it shows empty logs and applications.
Try and install setcpu or wifi tether and see what u get? If u install setcpu and try and use it and get denied u will know right away if u r really rooted. same with wifi tether, it will say denied!

WTF... LOL
Okay, so I download Wireless Tether for Root. Installs fine. Opens fine. Start tethering and get prompted to allow root access from SuperUser. I allow and tethering starts no problem.
So, how come I can't get SU as root? How come I can't install BusyBox (maybe nand not unlocked)?
Problem resolved.
Re-rooted with Unrevoked 3 and it works. Funny because unrevoked failed.

[Q] Need some help with Superuser Permissions

I rooted my phone with the G2 walkthrough in the forums. It had me install Superuser Permissions, which worked at first. Now when I try to use something that required root access it just tells me I do not have root access. When I open the super user program, it just sits at a blank black screen. When I open up a new app(like the 3 different screenshot apps I downloaded) the apps open and tell me I do not have root access. I do have root access because I can get Titanium Backup to run and it also requires root access. I cannot remove/uninstall Superuser Permissions to swap it with another working super user app.
I saw this article http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
I tried to install that app from the market and it fails to install(I assume due to the fact that I already have a super user app running). That said I cannot remove the installed app(thats not working). In that article it says to open terminal and type a "remount" command that may be different for each phone. I tried the command that they suggested(for his Nexus) but it did not seem to work on my G2.
So what do I do? Does anyone know what command I need to run from terminal to complete those directions to get a functioning Superuser app working? Does anyone know how to fix the existing "Superuser Permissions" app? Any suggestions?
try a reboot
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I already have. The Superuser Permissions app still only comes up with a black screen. No options when I hit "menu" and it does continue to stay active after I back out to the home screen as it does show up in the Task Killer list. That said, I am not getting a pop up that asks if I want to give an app superuser access. The apps that I alraedy had given permissions to(like Titanium Backup) still work fine, but no new app that require SU access will work.
Any other suggestions.

Have you tried clearing data for the Superuser app? See if that resets it to a working state.
did you do a perma root or temp root? If you did the Temp root, then the reboot caused you to lose your root. You need to re temp root then do the perma root.

Its perm root. I still have the temp root app on the SD card(not installed) but its perm rooted.

Well.. not only did that not work, it made it worse. Now my titanium backup(that I have accessed daily for weeks since I rooted my phone) tells me I am not rooted after I cleared the data from the super user program...
And...
Now when I go to terminal and type su I dont get the # anymore.. it says permission denied...
AND
I tried using Visionary for a temp root, and after it trys to temp root, I still cant access SU from terminal.
I have not updated my OS to my knowledge.
Any ideas?
Anyone have any insight into this??
At this point my phone basically isnt rooted anymore. I have even tried visionary and it seems to temp root but nothing works.. I can get SU in terminal etc....
Superuser Permissions is still installed but doesnt work.
I tried using Visionary to remove root. It says my phone doesnt appear to be rooted.
Soo at this point, my phone has none of the advantages of being rooted, yet it is technically rooted(because I cant re-root it the same way using visionary and terminal).
What can I do??
Try installing a new ROM if you already have clockwork installed.

kjrnl.nb

Hi,
The file kjrnl.nb was seeking root access from SuperSU today. I granted it and it proceeded to make changes to iptables. Anyone know what this file is? Upon entering super SU gui I was asked to update the super su binary.

If I were you I would immediately do a full wipe of your system and reflash your rom. Sound like a virus/trojan etc.
If you don't know what it is then DO NOT give it root acces. If you don't know what it is, then you don't need it.
Thanks, it hasn't popes back up. Since my restored nand droid. I've narrowed it down to 20 or so possible apps. When I have more time I may try to pin poi t the app. Wish there was an app I found run in the background that would log in detail.

Hi, have you found the origin of this file? It runs only when I boot the phone (n910c) and I can't find the file kjrnl.nb but it shows running with "busybox ps". It might be something that gets uncompressed realtime during boot. I have always to kill the PID after boot.
Thanks for any insight.
