[Q] Superuser not working after downgrade and re-root - LG Revolution

So I finally got around to downgrading my revo to re-root it after the update, but now superuser is not working!
The downgrade worked and the root seemed to go smooth.
I got the "-rwsr-sr-x root root 26248 2011-10-02 18:36 su"
message after rooting with adb so I assumed everything worked.
After downloading and installing superuser nothing is working though.
If I open an app that requires root it cannot gain access.
Also, if I open superuser it says there is an update, but it then crashes when trying to update.
I have even tried the "superuser update fix" app, but that cannot gain root access either.
Any ideas?

same problem here
Same exact thing happened to me...what do I do now?

Hey man, try downloading and running Superoneclick version 1.7 (not the latest version) and use the rageagainstthecageexploit in the dropdown. It worked for me flawlessly!

^ What he said. The oldest version of superoneclick, specifically 1.7 still works great. I just had to do this a few days ago when I got my replacement.

Thanks guys for leading me in the right direction. It is in fact the new version of superuser (3.0) that is the problem. The reason SuperOneClick 1.7 is working for some people is because it includes an older version of superuser. Since SuperOneClick 1.7 does not like my computer I rooted the ADB way and just installed the Superuser.apk included with SuperOneClick 1.7 and everything is working now!

There is also an app in the market called super user update fixer I believe.. Worked when I was having issues with my super user app

2.2 Kept root access

I used the ROM Manager app to update to 2.2froyo from a ere27 firmware with super user 2.0.3 and kept root access. I was wondering if anyone else had the same result?
I flashed the ROM Paul gave us and yes, it kept root access. So far all programs requiring root access have worked except for Titanium Backup which says it cannot find it.
just hit problems and download busybox then it will work.
Paul's rom had the added root access, you didn't really "keep" it.
Thanks for clearing that up...in the ROM Manager it was noted as Nexus One FRF50 Unrooted, Odexed. Which was why i was suprised to see the little ninja.

ps: btw how does this work?
EDIT: i plugged my phone run the app as admin and no admin and all the times said permission denied, already tried twice and once being in recovery . im tired of all the issues i had had so far with sdsl v2 ill go back to v1. btw also tried Z4root with no success

Nice program. In which language have you made this? I suppose it was made in Visual Studio, or am I wrong?

god this should have worked because all custom rom allow the adb shell command rooted or not it soulds like the rom didn't install correctly.
also it made using notepad++ to make the bat file

Z4root uses old root exploit that was patched in 2.2.1+, GingerBreak will work also Boot into recovery and mount system and connect then use this app

Flashed it and it is working fine except Superuser. Any app which needs and uses Su generally freezes.
Can you inject latest su in this release m buddy???
NEOHACK
They updated super Su so it now works with our ics crap. If you jump on market install Super Su not superuser. It will let you update to the newest binarys. Then with root explorer or whatever nav to system apps and delete the superuser apk. On all up comming updates I will be using super Su. Not superuser.
Did you update the su binaries??

I just did on my tab using super Su

I expect your talking about root explorer and tibu. They both freeze on this device. But I don't think its a super user issue as they both open and work fine but at a random point freeze. it seems more like a app issue then anything. They both have done that since day one of owning the device. I'll see if I can find the issue. Reason I think its app related is because I use a ton of rooted apps and a ton of root file explorers and root explorer is the only one with a issue.
Thank buddy I am in process to make a custom rom for tab 2. Let's see how it goes
NEOHACK
I dont think it app related.
Root Explorer worked beautifully earlier with Full Stock ROM so I know its not app problem. Currently even DroidWall and LBE Privacy also froze. Will switch back to Superuser and report.

Try super Su not super user. And you where on 403 I think if your were running stock. The rooted version I have posted is 404
When does droidwall crash? I'm trying to get it to freeze.

No I will completely replace SuperSu with Superuser through flashable zip.
I was on DDBLF3 only
I think I alrdy have superuser on this release. I switched to super Su on my tab via market and it auto updated binarys without loosing root. I then deleted super user apk from system apps via root explorer. Lemme know what ends up working for you. I'm leaning towards SuperSu since it updates without failing. SuperSu is superuser rebuilt and modded to handle some of the newer issues that showed up with ics and gbean

[SOLVED 2.07][BUG 1.94]: endless loading of apps and logs fragments

Thread specifically about finding and solving the issue that some are seeing where the apps and logs screen of SuperSU will load indefinitely, while su access does keep working.
r25txe said:
Hi @Chainfire
I just tried the 2.04BETA to see if my issue was resolved, to no avail.
I was wondering have you had any reports of certain settings not being configurable and the "apps" and "logs" tabs endlessly refreshing, i.e., you cannot see what apps you have approved or denied.
My root does work, I can approve or deny requests normally, it's just I cannot go back if I want to reconfigure an app's root access or review logs. Unchecking the refresh app and logs automatically has no effect.
In the settings, uninstall SuperSU will not work, causes an eventual crash of SuperSU (after quite some time) unless you do a reboot. SuperSU will still be there, too.
I'm a Pro user and unable to set a PIN either as SuperSU will just circle endlessly after trying to set one.
I've been reading about other users' issues mostly related to root access itself, but my issues seem to be interface only.
---------- Post added at 01:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 AM ----------
Oh, my ..!
It's working now, I just did another reboot (because SuperSU had become stuck again) and on reboot all was working! :good:

I'll redownload the licence and test Pro features tomorrow and report back.

I'm also seeing this, in 1.94 and 2.02, but I've not yet tried the 2.04 beta. Sometimes it works. I've tried all sorts of different things to identify a pattern, but I've had no luck.
I've also one instance, just last night, of SuperSU requesting root privileges for itself. I can post a screenshot and some log data if that would help.

It'd be great if we can get a recap of which SuperSU versions, which devices and kernels and firmwares, are affected. Any information you have is welcome. Let's get this issue sorted out.
@Chainfire So I'll start. I own a Galaxy W with unofficial Cyanogenmod 11 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588495) and now I'm using this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593027 (I' ve tried also with stock kernel but the problem persist and is the same). I used SuperSU for years and worked perfectly until v1.94. When I installed v2.0 the problem starts. After that I updated to 2.01 and I tried some beta like 2.04 and 2.05 but the problem still persist.
I hope this can help you, thanks for support.
EDIT: Some kind of Log could help you?

How did you update? Via in-app, Play store, or exclusively ZIP updates? Which recovery are you using? Have you tried making a backup, wiping, and install SuperSU cleanly - does the issue persist?
I've definitely seen this with SuperSU 2.02, and I believe I also saw it with 1.94 (but I can't recall for certain). I've not yet tried 2.04 beta.
I'm using the device, rom, and recovery in my sig. I've see this with several different kernels, including the one in my sig, Marmite 10.6/10.5/10.4/10.3, Matr1x 25 cfs and bfs, Devil Kernel 20131025_VC and Air Kernel Weekly r350.
When I flash a kernel, cwm asks if I want to "fix root". I've reboot both fixed and unfixed, and it doesn't seem to matter.
What else can I try or provide?

Now I'm using CWM recovery based (6.0.5.0)
I tested the v1.94 and update v2.0 on a " old rom". Few days later, thinking was my device problem's I performed a full wipe with pristine and installed v2.0 directly from play store, so I could try a cleanly installation of SuperSU (but the problem persist). Here I tried all new versions (I also tried the v1.94, which worked fine, but mainly to uninstall the newer version's as I will explain below) but without success.
I tried in different ways:
I downgraded to v1.94(replacing supersu with root explorer), uninstalled SuperSU, reistalled v1.94(via in-app) and then updated to 2.0 and then v2.01 when update came out from play store.
I downgraded again to v1.94(replacing supersu with root explorer), uninstalled SuperSU and then installed v2.0 from zip-updates. Also tried flashing directly over v1.94 ,without uninstall, from recovery with zip-updates.
I downgraded again to v1.94(replacing supersu with root explorer), uninstalled SuperSU and then installed v2.02 from zip-updates. Also tried flashing directly over v1.94 ,without uninstall, from recovery with zip-updates.
I tried v2.04 and v2.05 with zip-update from recovery by flashing directly over v2.02(this v2.02 is a result from previous test).
I uninstalled SuperSU by replacing supersu with root explorer, installed via in-app v1.94(that work perfectly) and then installed 2.04.
I hope I have answered in the right way in all your questions.

I have similar bug. I am on SE xperia GB ROM and all previous versions below 2.00 were working fine. After that I started to notice various problems.. For ex. on 2.00+ versions I was always getting "update su binary" notification. I tried to update it in both ways and both were sucessufull and root was working but i still was getting that notification. On last beta (2.05) root stopped to work and all root apps are loading continuously... when I enter to supersu app I get a notification that there is no su binary (but it exists). I install supersu on clean rom from recovery.. Here is the source code..for reference..

Thank you.
Been playing around, haven't replicated so far. A common theme seems to be CM and CWM, though it works fine in my own testing still... sigh.

Which installation method do you use for busybox? As I recall, the app you use provides several different methods.

That seems like a probable culprit. Maybe if someone installed your version of 'busybox' we might see a difference.

These issues are not related, as the problem we're discussing only applies to Android with SELinux, which Gingerbread doesn't have.

If u figure it out let me know
It is rooted if you flashed that one file that was posted but you don't have a Su Binary installed. I was trying to figure out what I have to push to my phone for the su binary, etc but no one seems to know? It sounded like there was script initially posted by Tanh but I don't see a link anywhere to it.

SRS seems to have installed the su binary however it won't run correctly still. It gives an error of "only position independent executables (PIE) are supported."
As far as I know with the last few days of research and flashing:
The "root" that keeps floating around here is not full root. It is an official samsung kernal intended for buisnesses to force apps to the system. It only allows adb root access, it will not allow you to install the binaries needed for su. Either it won't fully install and be useless or it will put you into a boot loop with no current fix.
SRS root does not work. They might claim it roots your phone but it is only a half install of su. I have tried many times, and it will not give you su.
