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?

Systemless root ?
I'm not sure it installed by itself when I did the chain fire install

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.
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.

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.

If you mean you have to root again then yes, you need to re root. SuperSU will still be installed but not functional until rooted again. Xposed gets uninstalled. Gapps are still there also, but won't work until HDXposed is activated again.
I think you have to enable OTA before updating or else your Kindle won't update.

I've never experienced reboots enabling Wi-Fi, and I was constantly activating and deactivating it because Wi-Fi wad very unstable and stopped working at random times. With last update Wi-Fi stability, for me at least, was greatly improved. You should try updating and re root.

Which software did you use to root your HDX? Do Towelroot still work?
Towelroot still works perfectly fine to root the latest update.
I've used KFHDX Toolkit v0.94, chosen root via Towelroot but still no luck.
I see towelroot icon in Applications, clicked on it, choose make it ra1n. HDX restart and that's all. How can i install supersu? What must i do?
Thanks for advices
umm

You didn't happen to see the option to install superuser in the toolkit? Otherwise just get it from mobile one market or you could just hit that little search spot in the upper right hand corner and search for supersu and you'll probably find it.

Yes, i've tried it. But i always get this error:
Failure [INSTALL_FAIL_ALREADY_EXISTS]
PS: Because superuser was installed before so i can not install superuser. So went to Applications manager, uninstall superuser and reinstall it via KFHDX tool. SUCCESS!!! Thank you anyway
