On an old Sprint Hero with stock 2.1 Sense ROM, I recently rooted, wiped and installed CM 7.2. At first, Superuser was working and I was able to restore things like old SMS. However, after a day, Superuser is no longer able to grant root access to things like Titanium Backup or even itself. I tend to get a force close for Superuser when trying to elevate. I've tried downgrading the Superuser APK to the version that came with CM 7.2 (I had upgraded it). I've also tried booting into recovery to replace the binary su. Neither option works.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and found a way around it?
Try installing busybox from the play store also try updating the app from within the app if you haven't already

The problem was solved by downgrading both the Superuser APK and the binary file. I have root access again. For some reason Superuser 3.1 and the 3.1.1 binary weren't behaving.
Glad you got the problem solved.

I just gotten a DHD, and rooted it via Visionary, radio S-off with jkoljo's one click S-off, installed clockworkmod and flashed recovery.
then I followed sfjuocekr's guide and eng S-off, and proceed to install the kernel update utility into my PC, and flashed Buzz kernel v1.0.6 using the zimage method, and it was successful (says the kernel update app). Then I waited for the android to restart and upon completion, I pressed apply modules.
And now everytime i starts up my phone, i get the error messaging saying that Titanium backup, rom manager and flikie wallpapers has stopped, and I have to force close them. My wifi is also unavailable, when i checked into settings, it says wifi error.
Does anyone know what went wrong?
Thanks
I reflashed the kernel and the modules again, and my wifi is ok this time round.
But my 3 apps are still getting the error message, and this time round i got a message saying that my superuser is not responding and force closed.
I think that the superuser is causing all these problems, Ive reinstalled Rom manager and titanium backup, and when i tried to use titanium backup, it says it could not acquire root privileges, and for me to verify that my rom is rooted and includes busybox (which Ive done right at the beginning when i root my phone).
Im still able to access bootloader, so i guess i still hv root. Not sure why my superuser is not working. Anyone can help?
Thanks
I would always go radio s-off and eng s-off, it creates less errors and offers more flexability

i reinstalled superuser app, and its working fine now.
Not sure why superuser was having error earlier on, but reinstalling it fixes everything.
I rooted my B80 yesterday with the razorclaw method, and I have installed revolver with clemsys kernel. Whenever an app is asking for root, superuser forcecloses... Any solution to this?
What's version of SU using ?
If you've got a problem, you must use Su Update Fixer (on the Market), it's a good help apk
Well, that didn't work either, as the fix apk itself didnt get root. But I reflashed the newest SU version, and now it works.
Thanks for your help
next time just update the super user app on market. it work as well
clearing the super user application data worked for me.
Hello, i have a motorola defy and i am running cyanogenmod 7.2 based on android 2.3.7
I have had my phone rooted for a long time now and never experienced any troubles but a while ago I've updated the superuser app via play store and apps just lost root permissions, for instance, root explorer displayed the message like it was the first time i opened it and thet it closed itself, i rooted the phone again using the break the cage (or something like that) exploit and it started working again with superuser v 2. 3.6 i updated the app again via play store and the problem came back, when i type su in terminal i get "permission denied". I downgraded superuser again and have root permissions back, but i don't wanna be stuck in this version, anyone knows how to fix it?
EDIT: I got it fixed by going to androidsu.com and downloading the latest su update zip and then flashing it in recovery, i finally updated superuser from market and voila, everything is working like a charm, if someone experiences the same problem as me do not hesitate to contact me, I'll be happy to help
Hi All,
For some reason, just in the past week or so, with no changes to my vs980 except updating twrp to 2.8.1, i've lost all capability of superuser apps but all the apps that have that require root access continue to work. I use Carbon ROM, am on 4.4.4 and do my own builds. It has it's own built in SU but I've been using SuperSU. When a new app tries to get su access via SuperSU, the "grant" button won't press so the app eventually gets denied.
I uninstalled SuperSU and now only using the built in SU app that comes with Carbon ROM. It doesn't seem to be doing anything. No logs are being generated (yes, they are turned on) and I get no toast notifications when apps request root access. But they all still work fine... which seems very odd.
What does all this mean? Can the new twrp be causing it? How can I get SU apps to work again? I've run "root checker" and it says I have root. But when I first run the app, it never asks for root access.
Thanks.
Hey guys..This website has solved a lot of problems..So I hope it solve this too
My problem started when I flashed Cm12.1 on my s3 neo gt-i9031I
The ROM was flashed and it worked perfectly..And then I installed SuperSu app from the play store
And here the problem comes..the app said that it needs to update Su binary
I tried the normal way but then it said "Installion failed,Please reboot and try again"
And after rebooting several times it keeps saying the same thing
I tried using option twrp (I have twrp recovery installed)
It said that the app will attempt to reboot my phone to recovery..But then nothing happened. didn't reboot or do anything.. I booted into recovery but nothing happened either
Then I saw a YouTube video that has Su bb installer
I downloaded a zip and flashed it via recovery.. And the problem got worser..After I booted..I found that SuperSu icon has changed..To the old version.. The superman icon..When I try to open it...It doesn't open and lags the phone..
Tried to update via play store
Successfully updated but it doesn't wanna open and it made the phone laggy
I had to uninstall updates..Force stop and disable and the phone returned back to normal..No lags
But now I am in unrooted status I think.. can't open the app or remove it cuz it was a system app
I think the problem got worser when I flashed the Su Bb installer which the video said that it works for every phone
I think it was too old..I don't know..please help..Sorry for the too long topic..I am afraid of rerooting cuz I am already rooted but I can open the app..HELP..HELP..HELP

Don't do anything. Just re flashed CM 12.1 or any CM ROM. before do anything read their instructions carefully. Ok
In all CM based ROMs the root is disabled by default. Go to settings>About Device and click on Build Number 7 times. Return back and you will have Developers options just above About Device menu. Go in there and there you can unable root access. After that do whatever you want.
