I have rooted my phone however when I install setCPU the application is unable to obtain root access. I have to tried to grant access to the application in the Superuser application however, the application does not seem to allow that option.
BTW, I have search both google and the forum to see if there was a fix for this before posting this message.
Any advise or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance

Used to happen once in a while when I used to use SetCPU.
Try this:
1. In superuser, delete the entry for set cpu. (I would suggest reinstalling super user app.)
2. If u have any protection apps like protector pro, disable that.
3. Run the setcpu app. This should now prompt superuser dialog.
4. Grant access and make sure u have check box selected to grant access always.
Reinstalling super user app always resolved this issue for me.

I can root and all is good but as soon as I use an app that requires root I cannot click anything on the prompt. It will just ignore me. I have to go into the app to actually grant it access. Apps also take forever to actually see that it requires root and the freeze.
Anyone encounter this? Thanks

Go to the play store and download/install SuperSu, reboot
the phone and it should clear up the issue you are having.
It also might be a good idea to get busybox from the play store too.
Good luck!

I'm having the exact same issue.
Supersu was installed as a system app during the root process. It disables knox just fine. When I start a root app, it takes a very long time(1minute or more) before it asks permission.
I have Titanium working fine but other apps time out before the root prompt ask for permission.
Any ideas?

Open supersu and go into it's settings then go to
"default access" and click on it so it says "grant".
Reboot the phone and all should be good.
Good luck!
Hi,
I have the lg optimus l90.
I used the towelroot app to root the phone. i used a terminal app to verify that i do have root. when the app opened, it displayed a $ sign but when i typed "su" and pressed enter it gave me a "#" prompt. so am i rooted?
also i was told to install the superSU app. why do i need this? can't i just uninstall the bloatware right now since i am rooted?
I installed the superSU app but it was not able to install the su binary because i did not reboot the phone after using towelroot. I uninstalled the SuperSU app. anyhow, what do I need to do now to remove those bloatware apps. there is no option to uninstall in the apps section of the android settings application.
finally, I read somewhere that i should use nobloat app to uninstall the bloatware but it is not uninstalling the bloatware. I uninstalled it.
so what do I do now?
any help would be much appreciated.
thanks.
Superuser is needed for apps to have root rights to your phone. Install superuser. Reboot phone and open app. Reboot again if needed. Rooting is useless without superuser installed

Along with root and SuperSU, you will also need a root App manager or root file manager. I personally prefer to use ES File Explorer as it is both an application manager ( user and system ) as well as an awesome file manager.
There is no list of acceptable system apps to remove. So be very careful as to what you uninstall or you may endup with a soft bricked phone or one that spazzes out whenever it feels like it. I would recommend making backups of any app you want to remove before uninstalling it. At least you might be able to restore them if something goes wrong.

thank you both for the replies.
so what exactly is SuperSU for? when I opened it up I saw nothing in the apps list and I did not see anything else in the other lists within the app. also, I did not restart the phone before trying to update the su files and when I did restart the phone nothing updated. So, do I use something like ES file explorer to remove bloatware?
by the way, when I tried to surf the web after installing superSU app, the web browser was extremely slow. the webpages loaded very slowly but when after I uninstalled the superSU app, it was loading the pages fast again as normal. what's up with that?
thanks.

SuperSU is a binary executable that grants or denies superuser requests. Without it root is worthless.
You won't see anything in SuperSU permission list until an app asks for superuser permissions. When first opening the SuperSU app you should get prompted to update/install the su binary. Allow that action to happen.

That's because the su binary was never updated.

so in order to run something like the nobloat app I need to grant it permission to be a superuser? I never had to do anything like that when I ran the nobloat app and It actually worked. It still does not make sense to me what supersu is used for.
That's because the su binary was never updated.

I ran the towelroot app and it was successful. However, I did not reboot the phone before attempting to update the su binary and the superSU app said i should restart before updating. I restarted the phone but it never updated the su binary when I ran the superSU app again. What do I do now?
thanks.
Hi all
I've run into this this morning just to realize that it had happened before :
swapper2 app, which has had root access since I installed it (of course), requested root access but under the name "swapper2 [uid]".
I granted the access and checked in SuperSU, the app appears twice, once as "swapper2" and once as "swapper2 [uid]".
There is another app with "double root access" : catlog.
Can someone explain why this is so, and whether I should worry or not ?
For the moment, I removed the second root access of both apps.
It's a quirk in how these apps request root access. If the first time the [uid] variant showed up was when actually using those apps, then there is nothing to worry about.
Open supersu go to settings uncheck Re-authentication
I don't want to uncheck re-auth, I want to be that the apk running with root is the one I allowed to run with root.
Those two apps where not updated, swapper2 was sideloaded, I don't think it's available on the play store.
Hi All,
First post here so be nice
I rooted my Nexus 9 yesterday and everything appears to have gone through successfully - I ran the Root Checker app which also confirmed "Root access is properly installed on this device!". I also have SuperSU installed and functioning.
However, when I try to run apps like System App remover to remove unwanted bloatware, the uninstall fails and I am told I do not have root access. I have granted this app super user permissions in SuperSU too.
Has anyone else had this problem or knows how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!!

Have you tried any of the following tools (there's others but these 2 are the more recent ones) that were posted within the Nexus 9 device dedicated area of the forum?

Hey,
Thanks for the super-fast response. So I used the Nexus Root Toolkit and everything went through successfully however, I am still finding the same problem.
Root Checker confirms that the device is rooted but when I try to use some apps to remove unwanted bloatware, I am told that I don't have root access and that the uninstall has failed (yes I did grant the apps super user privileges with SuperSU)
Hmm.
Hello,
I recently root my phone so now I have SuperSu on it, unfortunately, I have a problem giving root access to other applications.
I download many apps which need a root access like TitaniumBackup or SD Maid, but only TitaniumBackup appears in SuperSu.
With all the other apps, it never asks me to give root permission (with a small pop up for example) and I don't understand why.
Could you please help me to find a solution, maybe with some apps that I can download to test if SuperSu works or maybe if there is a solution to activate an option to give me the root permission.
Moreover, when I make the overview of my phone by SD Maid, it shows me in the "root status" :
Unavailable
Su binary
CHAINFIRE_SUPERSU 2.82
Superuser app
2.82
SELinux state
SELinux : PERMISSIVE
Thank you for your help, I hope you could find a solution.
Install SuperSU 2.79.
Or just go to root app, setting, grant permission option by default. Instead of asking everytime
Hey man I just want to say : Thank you !!!
I changed the default option ans it works perfectly.
I don't know how put in the title (resolve), maybe someone knows ?
