are you sure that you have root? open a terminal emulator app then type su. if you get a # symbol, then you have root.

yea, we can flash kernels and roms without having root. you just cant use root apps. im sure that your rom probably has root, every custom rom does. it is possible that your rom has an option t enable and disable root. also, you can also flash the latest root binaries via your recovery. or it could be just the superuser app messing up. delete the app data for the superuser app and try again.

thnx i am thinking to re root and install rom again can u plz suggest latest gapps...plz

you can get most the gapps from the play market. i use a gapps from over a month ago, so you probably wont want it. but why reroot? best thing to do would be to wipe data(factory reset) in your recovery, then reflash your rom and gapps. make a nandroid backup in your recovery first, just in case.

thnx i downloaded latest superuser.zip and installed from recovery mode...everything went to normal..thanx for ur help ahain...

Maybe you need to install Busybox. Titanium backup requires it or it will say it cannot get root.
When installing MIUI fresh root access in SuperUser is not enabled. You have to open SuperUser then press the menu and go to settings. There will be a box to enable root.

Alternatively you could flash only the boot image with the Superboot boot image for Nexus S: http://android.modaco.com/topic/327...ing-the-nexus-s/page__p__1526052#entry1526052

Absolutely right!
But as there've been no device information and the OPs post was signed with "Sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA App" i assumed he is using a Nexus S, thus suggested the link to that version. (BTW: There's also a Nexus One specific version available from Madaco)
So either i misunderstood the sig, or OP posted to the wrong section and you should have said:
You shouldnt open NexusS stuff threads in the Nexus One section - they could get closed

Actually Titanium backup includes its own version of Busybox now and hasn't required a separate install of Busybox for some time

Superuser Update Questions

No Dont!!!
Once I also updated Superuser,It started giving problems.. So dont update Superuser
if the SU binary is above 3.0
then its fine if you dont update,
i cant update my SU binaries too
I was able to update my SuperSU through the android store with no problems so I don't think you will encounter any.
same problem by me:binary su update failed??????

Busy Box is something that you
install on your phone to give you
some additional handy LINUX / UNIX
based commands. You need Busy Box
installed because some commands
are not available to you and you
made need them for some root
level tasks.

Oh, ok friend,, thank you.. :good:
Su can be updated by at least 3 ways.
1. Thru google play
2. Thru su itself. (If you are using an old version it is under "preferences" then "check binaries"
3. Thru a zip update which is flashable via cwm. I've seen that in a thread here at xda.
If you are trying to update your su, make sure you have an excelent internet connection to avoid any sudden disconnection which does not do anything good.
Before you update it, Keep atleast a titanium back up or a nandroid back up of your su app, or a nandroid back up (but i think its to much) so that if anything not nice happens, you could revert it. It is a rule of thumb,"always have a back up before atempting something not for 'ordinary users'".
About busybox: it is currently available at the market for free. Or you could search for it here at xda. Note: busybox is NOT an app. It is a set of BINARIES. The ones you could get in the play store are INSTALLERS of this binaries.

I update superuser regularly but didnt get any problem yet. I dont have busybox. I update through googleplay.
I can suggest one thing bro, if any app works for you. Dont update it. Cause in most cases updates sucks.

I was wondering if you used custom recovery to backup your rom or if u just risked it when installing Xposed?

I did not backup, but I do use Dhacker29's CWM recovery. Xposed automatically creates a removing flashable zip in case you get a bootloop.
