I still seem to have root access, in that I can continue to flash roms, use ShootMe screengrabber, and even get the "#" in Terminal Emulator when typing in SU. But when I use either one of my wireless hotspot apps, Barnacle and/or Wireless Tether, I get a "cannot launch, you may not have SU access."
Have you seen this before? I just installed Virtuous Fusion. Is there such thing as "partial rooting?"

No, there's no such thing. If apps complain that they can't get root - it means that they're either not given privileges, or they don't ask for root access in a way compatible with the SU in the specific ROM.
try uninstalling and reinstalling superuser app sometime itll not recognize it and ignore it
Just to add to the above comment. SU is just an app. Its possible for a rom to not have it (though all devs/chefs always add it before releasing the rom) and its not likely but if so, all apps that need root access will complain. So yeah just try installing SU from market and you should be good.

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.
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

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.
I rooted yesterday, flashed a GB rom, and going to use the ShootMe app it's saying I'm not rooted and won't connect. Does flashing unroot the phone?
Unless you flash a stock update then flashing will not unroot your phone. All custom ROMs are rooted unless otherwise noted.
The easiest way to see if your still rooted is by opening up terminal and typing "su" without the quotes. It should change to a pound sign - if it say access denied then something went awry.
Code:
$su [ENTER]
#
That's how it should look.
Says Terminal Emulater was grandted superuser permissions but shootme still says it's not rooted. Signs that during the restore of the app something went wrong?
Check superuser to see if the app is being granted permission

^ that worked. Thanks. I have another small issue and dont want to make another thread so hopefully someone can help with this as well... How do I take apps that are installed on the sd card and move them back to the phone itself?
settings>applications>manage applications
go to the app you wanna move, tap on it and then tap on move to phone
My N7 is rooted and encrypted (manually, no toolkit) with stock rom.
I left it unattended for a couple of days, and when I flip open the cover, there's a process called "myls" asking for root permission. I denied it twice, and hasn't been asked since.
I went to terminal and tried to find the process/file named "myls" and found nothing. Nothing out of ordinary shows up on installed apps list. Search for myls+android yields nothing relevant.
How do I find the app/process responsible for this root request? Is this something I should worry about?
Thanks!

I have the same process now requesting root access on my galaxy nexus phone. I am rooted and running codename android ROM. I'm also curious to know what this myls process is that would like root access...
Hi. I was curious too about this process who popped up today asking for su after i was playing with scripts etc. Then i searched on active processes from terminal and noticed that myls proc is used by ScriptManager app ?. I'm using that app from two years and today is the first time i see myls proc. Maybe that's depending on what script we use with the SM's widget becouse myls popped when i run the "flush.sh" script of V6 Supercharger from the widget. You can try yourself: type su on terminal, then type ps and check the aplication that has the same USER as mysl. On my case is app_91 same as SM. Hope that helps ?
Bump?
Yeah, this requested access after I rebooted my CM10 device. My only root apps are:
Titanium Backup
AdAway
SetCPU
Pimp My ROM
PDroid 2.0
Script Manager
Root Explorer
Android Firewall
GOO Manager
Lucky Patcher (for an irritating license nag -I pay for my apps)
BusyBox Pro
SuperSU (paid version)
I run v6 and KAK scripts, too but have been doing that for ages. It's the randomness of it that I find suspect. Any further thoughts in this would be quite helpful as this seems to be the only discussion about it on the internets, period.
I have LG optimus one and Iam try new rom Omnirom beta 7 and beta 7.1. Iam saw ther isnt any superuser app and Iam try flash SuperSU (chainfire) and SuperUser (CloakWorkMod) with cwm recowery 6.4.0.6 and twrp 2.7.0.0.
Now I can run some apps like a total commander with superuser aces, Rom manager, but Iam style not can run titanium backup and lot of more. Sorry my English. Thanks for all reply.
Just FYI it is recommended to run twrp and su. Regarding you question: can you use the functionality that requires root in the apps you mentioned to be working? If not you simply have no su access at all. In case you can run them go into the su UI under settings and see if you can manually grant su permission to TiB and the like. It seems strange to me that super user should only work for some of your apps. I might be wrong though, I'm no expert.

This dont work
Iam dont saw a easy think. My result app hawe root aces but adb no.
How to repair. Settings -> for developers ( If you dont see it, you must go to settings -> About phone and seven times touch build number)
In setings you mustvote apps & adb in defoult only apps.
