I have Superuser App by ClockworkMod on my phone then I noticed at Store there another SuperUser App by ChainsDD. Is there any difference in the 2?
Thanks

SuperSU works better on our phones and helps keep 'Official" status.

It should be noted that chainsDD has not updated his app in over a year. It might be better to go with the CWM version of move to SuperSU (Like i have).
I had always used CWM version of SU and I didn't even know that someone else had a SU app. I just noticed at Play Store and was just wondering.
Thanks for Info

Super SU
I am using SuperSU because it came with my root. I don't think you can go wrong with CWM's SuperUser app either.

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.

Hello!
I'm on 0923 cm nightly, bit SU keeps asking confirm for apps requesting root permission.
I have already fully wiped the phone before flashing the ROM.
Any idea?

This came up on the ns4g cm thread, and somebody suggested uninstalling superuser through titanium and installing supersu from the market. I couldn't find superuser in titanium to uninstall, but after installing supersu I stopped getting the constant notifications.

Had the same problem yesterday! Superuser went crazy and gave me a "Shell has been granted superuser permissions" prompt every two seconds or so until a restart. I downloaded SuperSU, but couldn't find a way to uninstall Superuser through Titanium (couldn't find it...) so I uninstalled SuperSU and updated the binaries on Superuser and have been fine since then, fingers crossed...
Running Rooted stock rom...

Also just flashed cm10 0923 nightly and having the same problem.
Found that tapping "Allow" about 3-5 times seems to work - though that's barely a solution!
And can't find the old SU in Ti to revert / restore...
--------------------
Now trying SuperSU from Chainfire off Play to see what that'll do.
Others' reviews seem promising...
--------------------
Solved. Still have to tap "Allow" through the old SU to get the new SU in place,
but after that everything seems just fine.
I had the same issue so I downloaded the SU
http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
boot phone into recovery
install nightly
flash superuser
reboot
how about flashing recently cm? i have that issue too but solve by flashing other rom

Comrades, Just got myself a Nexus7 and rooted it as soon as I got home but titanium backup gives me an error message saying could not open and my device may not be properly rooted!! I used the root tool app.
Can I re root using the same steps without any damage ?
many thanks.:thumbup:

You need to unlock bootloader first before you can root.
Make sure to backup your data, it will be wiped when unlock the bootloader.

Do you really need titanium backup right now? if you just bought it and tried to root it as soon as you got home, you shouldnt have anything on your device of importance do you? lol
if you did get root, titanium needs a busybox installed for it to work. get the busybox app by stericson at the market. open the app, install busybox.

Yes, like most people I've spent a couple of days tweaking, downloading, transferring files and basicly using the tablet.
I did not sit will an empty tablet waiting to sort out the titanium problem. Thanks.

Super SU has a option to unroot right in the app
BLACKED OUT LTE N4
yes it does but in pac a different superuser app is installed to the settings and there is no way to get that one out :/
I have always just flashed the SuperSu zip in recovery without problems

Why not just use a file explorer with root rights to uninstall system apps by going to
/system/app and deleting it?
Odds are you'll have a file explorer already.. don't see the point in an entire separate app just for that purpose.
You can't do that when it is preinstalled into the framework of the settings of a rom

I removed that app and installed this one, and everything works fine:

Chainfires SuperSU has been updating and playing very well with everything. The one from root exploit is dodgy at best.

So I flashed the new superuser apk and you were right. The one that came with io root is dodgy. It never said I had any apps that had su rights.
The new app started freaking about su privileges. At least I know the new one is working.

Is it as easy as removing? and installling a new supersu? or do i have to flash it via TWRP?
Will using the superSU over write the previous?
I'm having the same issue but i stopped at that and haven't touched the phone since i saw others have been having trouble after that.
I have not installed TWRP or anything. i just want a simple root as i'm not looking to do anything fancy.
As you can tell I'm still new to all this.

Install the one I posted from the App Store, then remove the normal way thru app manager to remove the other one.
After opening the new Chainfire SuperSU, a pop-up will notify you that it found another version of SuperSU installed, and ask if you'd like to remove it. Select Yes, and the software will remove the previous version for you.
I downloaded the new superuser app and opened it. It said some information didn't really read. It was basically install while phone is still running or flash via custom recovery. I flashed via custom recovery then uninstalled the old superuser app.
The thing is the system part of your phone is read only during runtime and that is where the apk needs to me installed.

You don't need to install in recovery after initial root. This is just for troublesome phones. The G2 takes SuperSU like a champ. It will uninstall the old for you and install new and update without a problem.
