Manually upgraded my Nexus 7 to Android 4.3 today, via Google's factory images.
I flashed Clockwork Mod, and installed Busybox and the latest version of SuperSU with it. But root isn't working -- no clue why. Any help? Am I stupidly overlooking something? I've flashed root binaries plenty of times before, and this has never happened.
Try this version.. https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z12rw1urfveawxfxm04cjl1aoor5ezninhc

Hmmm, that version technically works (Root Checker says I'm rooted), but now it's acting like Busybox isn't installed, and other root apps are acting up.
What is the issue here? Why would root suddenly not work on an unlocked Nexus device? Should I be using something other than SuperSU?

I don't think busybox is part of this installation, you'll have to install one from the market yourself.

I flashed and updated Busybox, and it seems to be working OK now.
Other root apps are acting screwy -- "/system/app Mover" can't remount the /system folder (even though I can mount it R/W just fine in Root Explorer), Change Hostname doesn't work, etc. etc.
Key point: Why isn't root just simply working as I expect it to? What is wrong with SuperSU?
From what I've read its because of the new "Restricted Profiles" and how security works now, SuperSU needs to be updated have to use that one posted in the link until that happens

Because the new security features they implemented are needed to guard against exploits.

Install busybox installer from the market and install/update busybox. See if that fixes your issues. Also try installing SuperSu from the market, opening it, and updating su binary when it opens.
Did you run the busybox free app?

I installed busybox installer and when I try to install/update it says it failed. As for SuperSu, it doesn't give me an option to update the su binary.

I ran busybox free and it says it's unable to verify whether or not certain utilities needed for this app to run are present and functional on my device. This problem could be caused by a device that is not properly rooted or by superuser settings that are misconfigured

Likely not but thought i'd ask - Did you update to 4.1.1 after initially rooting?

Did you have the apps that use root before you rooted? I've noticed with some apps (that work with and without root) sometimes dont register that root is installed on your device so perhaps you should try redownloading them from the play store.

I've had the apps for a while on my droid x but I waited until after I rooted to also install them on the N7. I also tried uninstalling them and reinstalling them but they still don't work.

When you take an update it unroots your device. Re-root it with the tool and you'll be fine.

He should've used voodoo over the air rootkeeper to back up n save his root. So once you update, you can easily restore rot with one click in that app instead of having to use roottoolkit again.

I feel like a moron especially since I froze the updater on my droid x, I'll give it a try when I get home from work, is there anything special I should do or will I just have to click the root button?

Just rerooted and it looks like everything is working, thanks everybody
So my nexus 4 is rooted and running 4.2.2 stock rom with franco r83 kernel.
Everything was running great, until today I had to reboot my nexus. Since then I can't get any app root acces. I've rebooted a couple of times now but no advance.
What to do? Reinstall superuser or something?
Open superuser, do you have all apps there? granted permission?

Yes. I just downloaded SU Checker and it says 'su declined / not found'... so the problem is the superuser that got... corrupt or something?
There's a process to change superuser with superSU, I think it's on faux kernel thread.. Try that
Yeah, superSU was what I was talking about.
But I'm totally confused right now, I've download a couple of Root test apps and one is saying I'm not rooted, the others say I am.
I updated to 4.2.2 with some root keeper app, maybe something went wrong there? (although it was working for a couple of days?...)
superuser and superSU are two different apps but they do the same thing.
Some roms / kernels work better with one of them, that's why I'm advising you to change the superuser app.

I was running SuperSU. Now... I guess I'll have to reroot my device? I have like 4 apps telling me I'm rooted and 2 I'm not.

Is superuser asking for permission on rooted apps for you? in the superuser app log it shows there is none.

yes mine does but im using supersu, i don't recall if that's the one in the script.
when my phone restored it must have downloaded a second su app, that's why i don't know if supersu was the original.
I recently rooted my galaxy grand prime, and all went well except for random vibrations and snapchat was behaving weirdly but it was all ok. I installed some root apps such as live boot and a bloat ware remover and they worked fine but today I downloaded another root app and it told me I wasn't rooted so I downloaded root checker and told me I was not, but superuser still works and live boot still works but that's it. Is this possible, what happened?

I'm on CM13, I was rooted and everything. I had SuperSU installed also. But upon realizing that I didn't need it because CM13 had a root permission manager built in, I uninstalled it. Upon rebooting there is now no option to root in developer settings except through ADB and I'm no longer rooted. Is there anyway to fix this without reinstalling the OS and starting from scratch?

You are rooted, CM comes prerooted. Did you turn on the cm root manager in settings?
Additionally, SuperSU is much better than cm manager, you really should use it.

I did have CM root manager and root enabled in developer settings, but then the option went away and my apps are telling me I'm not rooted. I only have the option to enable root through ADB, as seen in the attached screenshot.

1) stop cross posting
2) you have 2 options. Reflash the Rom and hope it fixes whatever you did to bork it. Or install supersu like you should do anyway.

Sorry, I've been desperate.
I'll look to see if there are any new nightlies and flash them or reflash the one I'm on. Reinstalling SuperSU fixed nothing, although it works. A lot of my root apps (ES file explorer, SELinux mode changer) are still telling me I don't have root, although SuperSU granted them root permission.
