Problem with root apps

Hi,
I have an OB with stock rom 10e and Quasar Kernel. The rom is rooted and everything works fine, but I have one problem though:
At first launch all the root apps work fine (I grant superuser permissions and such), but when I try to start the app again (e.g. Root Explorer) the app just gets stuck in the opening process. This happens with different root apps. The only solution is to kill the app and clear the app's data via the settings menu. Then it works again.
Anybody has a clue?

Hum... can you try to clear cache and data of Superuser app, launch it and click ok about the features and then launch apps using root (of course it will ask again for permission) ?
I'm not sure it will resolve your problem but... well I'm trying something. ^^

That seemed to fix it. Will see, if the problem returns. Thanks!

Did you update SuperUser app and su file?

Problem persists. I rooted the phone using the blackjack.exe from UPK package. Superuser is version 3.0.7, I don't know about the binary though. Should I just reinstall superuser?

Arf too bad. :/
What is the version of your su executable ?

The binary was outdatet (was 3.0.0) and I updated it via the superuser app. Seems better now. I will wait and see. Thanks for your help!

Getting rid of superuser app

I really could use some help here. I tried to root my note (ICS 4.0.4 LRQ) using the root unlocker tool for windows. It failed but it installed the superuser app. Eventually I gained root access by flashing super su and busybox using stock recovery (latest rooting method introduced in August 2012). Now everything is fine except one thing. I use super su and want to get rid of superuser. I managed to uninstall it using System Tuner Pro (strangely it is not shown in Titanium Backup). But the problem is that superuser reinstalls itself with every reboot. How can I stop this? I tried to uninstall it and to delete it manually but all to no avail. Any ideas what I can do?

If TB is no listing the app, (weird), they Link2SD
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD&hl=en
uninstall it from there... if not able to .. try converting it to user app and then try
also try uninstalling the updates first and then the main app

Download this

Flash from recovery

if the superuser app is installing again with every boot then it maybe because of your kernel.. have u flashed the hydracore kernel or speedmod kernel.. if you got speedmod kernel then create a file in /system name it .noautoroot using rootexplorer.. now delete the the superuser app from /system/app(not the supersu app).. now it will not install it again again.. if you have hydracore kernel then i don't have any solution.. maybe out there on xda someone knows

Thanks it helped, superuser is finally gone. Do you know why exactly it has worked? What other things apart from installing super su does this zip file?
Sent from my Galaxy Note running ICS

It just adds super super, or overwrites existing. As well removing superuser if existing.

Halfway Rooted

I'll start off and say this strange. Root checker says I'm not rooted. The superuser app says I'm not rooted. The thing is I've been able to edit the build.prop, install safestrap, custom boot animation through rom toolbox pro, and I think a few other things. There are some root things I can do and others that I can't. I've never seen anything like this before.

I have a similar situation also a first for me, have root apps working but some not. Voodoo OTA Root Keeper says I'm Rooted but root checker says NO and busybox agrees. Investigating forums has left me wondering which ways to finish getting root All The Way back are safe? Would love to hear from a few more who had this problem and found a way around it.

Glad I'm not the only one who is having this issue.

If root got broken by the JB update and none of the Voodoo restore methods are working then you're going to have to re-root via the new Motoshare2 exploit: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/16518-root-motoshare-2-old-bug-new-exploit/

I managed to get root, install Safe Strap, then lose root. With safe strap I was easily able to open my prior rom that has root. Of I where to move my OTA Rootkeeper file, would I be able to restore root on the unsafe side (default jb)?

Xperia Z Root Help required!

HI.
I received my shiny new Xperia Z yesterday and got up this morning to root it.
The problem I have is, nothing i do seems to work!
Before I start, when I checked my Bootloader Unlock status, it said "Yes", the after going through the steps it changed to "No".
I followed the guide on here for the EasyRooting Toolkit for Xperia Z and it failed the first time, as the phone didn't do anything when i tapped "Restore Data", so I restarted the process, rebooted the phone and tried again. This time, I was able to start the Restore process and when the restore ended, I went to the white screen as was told, waited, then powered off the screen and the phone rebooted.
When I downloaded Root Checker from the Play Store, it tells me that the system is running a bit slow, but ultimately that Root Access has failed. The same happens with Titanium Backup*ROOT.
Now when I run the .bat file, it tells me it can't find adb.exe and quits out.
I've also tried Bin4ry's Root with Restore and it just comes up file not found (which I'm assuming is referring to adb.exe)
I would like to keep the Bootloader intact just now if possible.
Any suggestions?
*EDIT* I should add that I've re-downloaded the rooting files, restarted the PC and moved the whole extracted folder to the root of my C: Drive.

Try to root with flaahtool.
Maybe you will need a factory reset first.

Getting weird.....
OK. I've now discovered via Flashtool that I have root access and that Busybox and SU Binary is installed? Yet Root Checker says no and Titanium Backup*ROOT just hangs when its searching for root access.
Any ideas?

Go to the SuperUser app and remove Titanium from it, then re-run Titanium and see if it works.
If it doesn't try:

You would've helped more if you hadn't written it all in caps.
Did the OP state that he was blind?

Thanks to all the replies, especially the REALLY enthusiastic ones! I ended up unlocking the bootloader flashing a Cwm and rooting that way. Worked out much easier in the long run. Funny thing is, Bravia Engine is still saying it's enabled?

Did you back-up your TA partition?
It also did on mine, but I didn't really test if it worked since I never used it anyways.

Never got a chance to back up my TA partition.
Because of how my phone was set up, with the failed root to start off with, I had to unlock the Bootloader to get root.
I also had no problems with NFC either.
All I did was reset to factory and my Unlockable status went back to "Yes". I then unlocked the Bootloader, flashed CWM and a pre-rooted rip.
Bravia Engine and Gracenote are working perfectly.

Sorry for the double post. Just checked and my Bootloader is indeed unlocked.

[SOLVED]Automatically unrooted?

Hi guys,
I just went into system apps, via Solid Explorer to grab an apk to put on my dev-host, when I got an error saying that I don't have root access.
I tried accessing other files in system root to get the same error. So I downloaded Root Checker and for some reason that's also saying that I don't have root access.
I know for a fact I have though as I've just been using root only features in ROM Toolbox Pro without an issue.
Any ideas as to why it's saying I don't have root access when I clearly do?
I'm on stock 4.2.2 and used the rooting tools in mike1986.'s thread to root once I'd flashed the stock ROM.

I downloaded the deodexed version which had superuser installed by using the rooting tools.
I flashed it a few days ago and have had no issues with being rooted until now. As I say, I'm still rooted but my phone's telling me I'm not and I'm not sure why.

It already had the permissions from when I first installed solid explorer.
I just found out what my problem was. Superuser was installed by default and I downloaded SuperSU afterwards and must've disabled superuser and therefore was getting partial unroot issues.
I've now uninstalled superuser and I've got full access back
