I have the XT907 which was successfully rooted, so I presume(d). Last night I did nothing out of the ordinary. I plugged it in to charge, as it was almost dead. I woke up and took it off the charger, went out to smoke while coffee brewed, ran Clean Master app and it asked for SU permission (SuperSu). It didn't strike me as odd because I have it set so apps that update are required to ask for SU permission again. Only this time it wouldn't accept the permission I granted it. I tried again and it still wouldn't authorize (I was using the memory boost and I was trying to stop an app from auto starting when this happened). It told me to manually check the authorization in SuperSU. I did and it's listed there, all permissions granted. I ran RootCheck and it asked and was granted SU permission. I downloaded RootChecker just for a second opinion, and it too was granted SU permissions.
Before, during and after all of this, aside from the above mentioned Root checking app, I've downloaded one app onto my XT907: WiFi Password(Root). I needed the PW for my work's WiFi. It was denied SU permission. I've removed Clean Master from SuperSU, forced stopped Clean Master, rebooted Phone. Clean Master asks for permissions, is supposedly granted said permissions, but still won't accept them.
So two apps tell me I do NOT have Root on my phone, while two root checking apps say I DO have Root. I've not uninstalled or reinstalled anything or changed any settings as to get a further opinion on the matter. I rooted my device with KingRoot and uninstalled with SuperSU about a month or so ago. This is the first issue I've had. Any idea what gives? I'm a little stumped on this one.
It seems the issue is only with some apps. I've managed to fix the issue with Clean master by disabling SuperSU, re-enabling it then rebooting. Clean Master was granted permission and accepted it. So far I've not run into other issues. All root checking apps still say I have a proper root. If the issue continues, how about a reinstall of SuperSU? If I lost root, how would I regain it?

Hey Everyone -
I got my Kindle two days ago and decided to root last night.
I first upgraded to 6.2.2 and then followed the new directions for rooting.
After some hiccups getting the computer to set up ADB correctly (ran into some conflicts with the drivers installed with my Nexus) I got everything working. I followed all the directions provided and installed superuser.
Here is where my problems begin...
I side loaded root explorer but I can't switch the file system over to R/W. When I load up the app I never see it requesting root permissions or see them granted. The superuser log is 100% empty.
When I load up OTA RootKeeper in order to try and watch prime videos I see the following:
Superuser app installed - checked
Device rooted - checked
Root permission granted - unchecked
Filesystem supports root protection - checked
Protected su copy available - unchecked
It seems to me like my device is somewhere between rooted and not and I can not for the life of me figure out what to do next. I can't install the market, OTA Rootkeeper won't work so I can watch prime videos. I lost functionality and gained nothing.
Any suggestions?
hmm...
thats kinda what happened to mine, i had root explorer but not superuser. I just restored it back to factory settings and re-rooted it, and now it works just fine with no problems. Good luck!
On an old Sprint Hero with stock 2.1 Sense ROM, I recently rooted, wiped and installed CM 7.2. At first, Superuser was working and I was able to restore things like old SMS. However, after a day, Superuser is no longer able to grant root access to things like Titanium Backup or even itself. I tend to get a force close for Superuser when trying to elevate. I've tried downgrading the Superuser APK to the version that came with CM 7.2 (I had upgraded it). I've also tried booting into recovery to replace the binary su. Neither option works.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and found a way around it?
Try installing busybox from the play store also try updating the app from within the app if you haven't already

The problem was solved by downgrading both the Superuser APK and the binary file. I have root access again. For some reason Superuser 3.1 and the 3.1.1 binary weren't behaving.
Glad you got the problem solved.

i have the same problem
Hi All,
For some reason, just in the past week or so, with no changes to my vs980 except updating twrp to 2.8.1, i've lost all capability of superuser apps but all the apps that have that require root access continue to work. I use Carbon ROM, am on 4.4.4 and do my own builds. It has it's own built in SU but I've been using SuperSU. When a new app tries to get su access via SuperSU, the "grant" button won't press so the app eventually gets denied.
I uninstalled SuperSU and now only using the built in SU app that comes with Carbon ROM. It doesn't seem to be doing anything. No logs are being generated (yes, they are turned on) and I get no toast notifications when apps request root access. But they all still work fine... which seems very odd.
What does all this mean? Can the new twrp be causing it? How can I get SU apps to work again? I've run "root checker" and it says I have root. But when I first run the app, it never asks for root access.
Thanks.
I downloaded Kingroot today, ran it & achieved ROOT. SUCESS! If I had only stopped their. I downloaded Rootchecker Pro & it said I had Root. Great. Then I uninstalled Kingroot & installed SU from the play store. SU tried to update the Binary & failed over & over, reboot, failed over & over. THEN I did some reading & realized you cant delete Kingroot. I figured I could just re-download & re-install it & get ROOT again. During the process Google Security popped up over & over & I accidentely clicked Enable. Kingroot said it was installed but at the end of the apk Process where it usually says "DONE" or "OPEN", Open is Grayed out I cant click it & Kingroot isnt installed. I cant get it to install now. Rootchecker now says Root is not Properly installed. I went in to Google Settings & turned off the App Security, I verified I have Allow Apps from Unknown Sources checked. I can NOT get Kingroot to re-install so I can have ROOT again. Any help will be much appreciated. Would a FDR allow me to re-download Kingroot & Install it? I dont want to FDR but I really dont want to do it if its not going to help me achieve ROOT. Thanks Jason T
A while back I was able to achieve root on my ZTE 2050 (which also goes by about 20 other names.) I was continuously having issues with the phone locking up, I couldn't access the root files, as well as many other issues. I tried installing BusyBox to see if that helped. I was able to access the root files, but if I moved or deleted anything, the phone would begin to freeze up again. Every time it froze and I would restart it, I would lose cell service until I rebooted the phone between 4 - 6 times. Finally what I figured out is that the folder BusyBox was installing the applets in, /system/sbin, were fighting against Magisk and it's BusyBox. After deleting BusyBox and reinstalling it in /system/bin and applying the option to have it reinstalled upon every boot, I have no issues accessing and modifying the root system. Don't know if anyone else has had trouble with that, but if so I hope this helps. Now if I could only figure out why I lose stock recovery once the phone is rooted or could even install TWRP I'd be doing pretty good.
