(Help) Installed SU Binary Version is (0) - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried the regular update, flashing the latest binary (v3.1.1) in recovery, uninstalling and reinstalling updates, deleting data, but nothing worked. Superuser itself is up-to-date (v3.1.3) and I still have root access. I don't know if having an outdated / (0) binary will cause problems later on, as I'm thinking of upgrading to CM10 from my current CM7.2 Stable. Does it have something to do with Busybox which I just installed? Sent from my MB525 using xda premium

What do you mean by fail. Let's say you try to run titanium backup, what happens then?

[Q] SuperSU and superuser problems

Nexus 4 running CM10 nighty and faux123 kernel
fauxclock app has problem remembering settings when using superuser so previously I installed superSU then removed superuser using root explorer, all good and no problems.
recently I updated CM10 to latest nightly, and as superuser is bundled app it was installed too. so now I have 2 apps for permitting root access but here my problems begin.
Neither app would grant superuser status to apps that requested it
superuser would force close when opened
superSU would start, then try to install the superuser binary, which it could not do as it did not have root privlige
I uninstalled superSU and rebooted, now my launcher pages had all changed back to default (no widgets and stock wallpaper) but worse I had no notification bar and the softkeys where not available. Very hard to navigate the phone
Anyways after an hour I gave up trying to fix the mess I had gotten into and restored my backup from recovery.
So my question is, where did I go wrong? What is the correct procedure for updating the ROM - other than a clean install
Prehaps I should have reinstalled superuser and removed superSU prior to the update?
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks
Rumple
EDIT:
Found some good info on this in the CM10 thread, maybe I should have started there instead of searching all the superSU threads on XDA
problem is now fixed

Lost root on custom rom load

My Razr M was rooted and I was able to load Safestrap so I could flash a custom ROM. All went well until I went to Titanium with Root and it complained about me not being rooted. I cant open Superuser, I aslo ran the ROOT CHECKER app and It said I wasnt rooted. Now am I stick with this rom? I tried to re-root but I cant get the bug report / vibration to happen. Any ideas>?
By can't open superuser do you mean it fcs? If so try wiping data on the superuser app.

SU Binary out dated, can't update

I'm running DHacker's version of CyanogenMod 10.2 on my Droid RazrM, and I'm having trouble doing tasks as root. I had the phone successfully rooted and working before I installed the ROM, but now I can't update my SU binary. SuperUser fails at "Gaining Root Access" and SuperSU reports that no SU Binary is installed. I've tried flashing the update as recommended but it doesn't appear to do anything. Am I using the wrong zip (UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.43.zip, MD5: 2acd41db58d782ca0d386d805bd29f5d)?

[Q] superSU binary update aborted. How to recover my root?

Hey guys, I m new in xda. Well I'm in a bit of trouble. think u guys can help me.
I wanted to replace my superuser app with superSU v1.45. I installed superSU and then uninstalled the superuser app from the onscreen option of superSU. And after that everytime I try to open superSU ,it says it needs to update the binary, then I need to choose a option between normal and cwm method. When I choose normal it keeps saying "Installation aborted." My superuser app is uninstalled and I lost my root.
So If there is any process of recovering my root again without flashing the stock rom again by odin, please suggest me.
***I m in stock rom now.
***Baseband version: S5360DDLC2
***Karnel: White karnel 1.3.3 build#62
There are two ways - if your phone is already rooted but you just have a problem with the app then the best superuser app for our phone is
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su
once installed swipe to the right and then press update binary
if it says the binary is not detected you have to root your phone again
the best way to do this is as follows (note this will prob only work on stock based roms and not cm7 due to build prop)
download attachment
go into cwm
mount system
flash zip
select superuser by chainsdd
restart
once restarted use link2sd (playstore) to uninstall the superuser app
download the latest version of the app from the link at start of this post and update the binary as iv already said
thank you markassmith . I will try & tell you if it works.... (t:thumbup:humbup)
