[Q] Super Su - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

for some reason on my KTLE every time i update the cyanogenmod via cyandelta i have to reinstall the superSU application even though i installed it into system app from the option that was given in the super su. only thing i am doing is wiping cache/davik and after rebooting would need to download the app again.

Move it to /data/app so it'll survive your flashing of updates.

Yes tried that it worked but is informing me I need to install su binary when I open the app

lost root access

Hey guys,
Recently rooted using unrevoked and wifi tether was working but after updating superuser to 3.0.7 tethering no longer works and asks if I have root? It says S-OFF in the bootloader. Tried to run unrevoked again but it failed to get root access. Also tried clearing cache and data but still no luck. Any ideas? Thanks.
Running 2.2
Open the Superuser app and make sure permissions is on, then reboot
still no luck. I tried z4 and temp rooted and it seems to have added the permissions to superuser but after reboot same thing happens. I guess the apps cant see the root?
Might try to downgrade superuser to like su-2.3.6.2-efgh by flashing within recovery and then go back in and updating from market.
If you're S-Off, you don't need to keep trying to root. You're rooted.
What I would do is make sure you have Amon Ra for recovery, wipe everything as outlined in the guide I wrote (link in my sig) and flash a ROM. That will give you SU and you should be fine.
Just clearing Cache and Data is not enough. You need to clear Dalvik Cache, System, etc...
tried this and it didnt work for me.. any other suggestions?

[Q] Cant install superSU

My problem is, when i try to install superSU on any rom it just gives me the error and tells me to reboot again and again. Well i got that covered by flashing the zip but when i install Rom updates e.x CM 10.2 nightlies, it deletes superSU but all my other apps are still in tact?
Anyone have a solution???
When you flash SuperSU it will go to the system partition so updates will wipe it BUT you can then just go to the Play Store and download SuperSU from there.
What is actually telling you to reboot and what install method was that?

[Q] Awkwardness all round

So I was flashing ICS onto my xt535 to try and load a custom rom and now my phone is on the latest version of superuser, and it crashes all the time. Unfortunately i also need superuser permissions to load the custom rom. I am currently on SU version 3.2 but i have heard that ver 3.1.3 doesnt have the same issue with crashing. I have the files to flash the earlier version but the only APK that i could find to do it was ROM Manager, which as i'm sure everyone is aware, requires CWM. From what i've tried it seems that i need SU to load up CWM, but i need CWM to load the earlier version of SU. also i am quite new to the android programming scene but i have some previous experience in C++ and C#
Anyone got any Ideas on how to fix this?

Check the 'Revert Back to GB' section in the above post. They have an SBF, you can flash it by putting your phone in download mode and use RSD lite to flash the SBF

Am I the only one for whom root doesn't work in CM11?

CM11 doesn't seem to have root. I've flashed the latest nightly and for whatever reason, it just doesn't want to work right. Can't delete installed apps, can't remount, or anything...I can't be the only one can I?

Probably, the problem is the app you're trying to use...

Did you install a custom kernel after flashing the rom?

It's got to be a system thing, even adb won't remember when I authorize my computer....

Negative, stock kernel. Clean install...
My suggestion is to get the latest TWRP or CWM and factory reset, wipe system, and delvik cache. Then flash the rom again. It is possible you also have a corrupted download. Use an MD5 checker on the ZIP to make sure it isn't corrupted. If you don't want to start over you can also flash the auto root from chainfire from this link.

So I got around to it. Clean wipe, fresh from the start, install latest nightly of CM10, gapps, and no go. It says it's giving romtoolbox Pro permissions, but it can't delete anything. I authorize the computer to communicate through adb, and it forgets after a reboot...
The only thing is that I'm running Philz touch latest recovery...
Have you tried installing supersu? I found that a lot of apps have problems with the default super user.
I guess your /system doesn't have the right permissions. It's maybe set to read only.
IF not.. > Check your developer options and give root access to adb and apps
