Thanks for the quick response, however I've done that -having the same result...Tried apps after that...still no go. Ran root checker "No Root Acess." Unless its the Titanium Backup update. Other than those 2, I haven't done anything else.

Uninstall su and reflash your rom
Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.

Oops
Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.

So far unsuccessfull at uninstalling su...theres only the update option from the market...at this point lost..

I have had the same issue. So far the only workable solution that I have come up with is to:
- Delete the App data for Superuser (in Manage Apps).
- Run Super User and change the Automatic Response to Allow (in superuser preferences).
Not ideal because any app that requests su will get it. Have to keep an eye on the log until a fix if there are any apps that you do not want to have su.

Thanks...was able to delete su app data and access su...yet still no access to root apps (su 2.3.6.3)

Just reflash rom

No need to reflash roms or uninstall anything from from your phone guys.... The fix is to uninstall updates of superuser in market.... Once done this go to your applications on your phone and click on superuser app and hit ok when the popup screen comes up.... And your apps that require root access will work once again....

Confirmed. Recent update fixed issues.

my fix was...
Uninstall updates as stated in earlier post ;-) Then a restart or Reboot is all is needed. no need to reinstall the rom thats not the answer.

No issues here, have the latest superuser.

Downgraded, Restarted, rebooted su force closes still...any suggestions?

The fix seemed to have worked for me. Glad, because this has been killing me all day!

Thanks evo4gnoob for the keen eye and the catch! I've already uninstalled superuser -- awaiting a more stable release.
Once again, thanks a million! =)

The new SU screwed my phone too, but I just installed, and flashed a older one from recovery, and all is well.

(Q) Phone says its rooted but its not...

Edit : just checked. My phone is running the newest updated but im gonna try to unroot and reroot one more time even though I already tried and it could not unroot.
So I went to install the new update via stock recovery and it seemed to work. I go check system settings and its still showing 2.3.2 and not the newest one. I go to try and root and it says everything works and my phone is rooted. Thing is there is no super user app that appeared on my last droid 2. What's the issue?

It might be that you just lost the app and just need to get it off the Market.

Yeah, I saw it was rooted and just went to market and got Superuser app and installed, I have root. I don't know why it did not show the superuser app even thought it said the apk was transfered.
Mine did the same. After I rooted using the one click method, it said it was a sucess. Tried to use Root Explorer, and it said failed getting superuser permission. Checke my SD card, and there was no Superuser.apk there. I copied it to the SD card from the one click directory, and it was sucessful. When trying to use Titanium Backup, had trouble with Busybox. Titanium downloaded a new Busybox, and all is now well.

uninstall and reinstall
Did you update superuser on market? I found out by updated this application it will cause problems to your applications needing root acces.... Fix::: uninstall update of superuser app in market... Once done this... Select superuser from your phone and at the screen popup hit ok... It will revert back to working superuser... Meaning your apps needing root will work once again....

An even newer update to superuser should have fixed this.

[Q] CM9 but no root?

Can anyone offer a suggestion why applications that need root are denied even though I have cm9 installed? Superuser just keeps denying them when I try to give them root, like Apex Launcher (It needs root for certain widgets)
maybe go the play store and see if there is an update for the superuser app or open the app and update the SU binaries. if that doesn't work, maybe try reflashing CM9 [just wiping delvik cache] and see if that reminds it it is indeed rooted.
Try app called rootcheck to verify you are properly rooted:
I'm not

Oke so the app tells me I'm not rooted, is there an easy fix for that? Seems kinda weird seeing as its a custom rom.

how can i fix this
when i click problems, it only allows me to upgrade SU.. not busybox. Im on the strike 1.0.3 aosp rom 4.0.3
Try clearing your app data for superuser permissions.
I got that error twice, after accidentally selecting "no" when it asked for root and on one of the last updates for titanium backup.
This was the solution in each case, just be sure to re-approve all if your other program's that request root.

What ROM are you running?? Did you go into SU and toggle permissions on?
I ran into a similar issue recently while trying to play with a JB ROM. I updated my su binary through Superuser and everything worked fine afterwards

[Q] Could root access be lost by itself?

I was using device perfectly till today. I've installed nocturnal kit lastly. Don't know if it's related to this or not but it seems i've lost my root access. Now I can't use CM file manager which was working well and can't edit any app's settings in paranoidandroid. Both need root access. It keeps saying "couldn't get privileges" So is it possible to lose root by installing apps, mods or any software issues?
Not likely. Just go to your superuser app and make sure root access is being given.

checked su app and all root needed apps are seems to have access but they don't work I'm gonna wipe and reflash I think.
Try wiping cache for superuser. And you can try switching to superSU, it's better than the original.

get the supersu app from the market, free. install it, open it, then press yes when it asks you to update your su binaries. supersu works well for jelly bean, superuser is hit and miss.
