Terminal emulator SU problem

I'm having issues on damage control 2 with a terminal emulator. Every time I request superuser access in my terminal, my phone hangs and I have to FC the su request. I get the following error:
Activity SU Request (in application Superuser Permissions) is not responding
I don't have a clue what could be done here. I am a bit new to this. I apologize in advance.

i dunno for sure someone else may have a better answer but, i would try and uninstall superuser then reinstall it from the market. if that doesn't work maybe you somehow lost your root. try and re-root the phone and see if that fixes it.

I would probably start by trying another application that requires root if you have any. Find out if its specific to needing root access or if it's just that one application.

Go to settings/applications/manage applications, find super user, then clear data, and try. You'll have to re allow all your root apps again.

pull the battery and try again. maybe try a different terminal program too.

Update: SOLVED applications>manage applications>market. clear cache and uninstall updates.

[Q] Permission Issues

So a while back I used a 1-Click root app. Don't recall which one. Then flashed CM6. Lately I've been noticing some permissions issues.
It started when I attempted to install the new Car Home from the market and couldn't. I tried using RootExplorer to unistall the old version with no luck. I've given it SU permissions but still no dice.
Today I tried to install the new YouTube app from the market but got the same results.
So I tried through ADB and can't navigate to /system/app.
# cd /system/app -- gives "cd: can't cd to /system/app"
# su cd /system/app -- gives "Permission denied"
I've also tried fix_permissions in the terminal with no luck. (I remember this from the G1 days. don't know if it is still used)
Anyone know what could be going on?
I'm not concerned about my warranty any more so I suppose I could unlock my bootloader if anyone thinks rooting the official way would help.
Thanks for your time.

Are you mounting Root Explorer in R/W?
Edit: I had probs mounting my Root Explorer into R/W, and eventually found out I had a bad version of busybox...

Wow I feel dumb. I was forgetting to mount in R/W. Got the old apps uninstalled. Still can't get the new apps installed.. Oh well I never use either of them anyway.
BTW any reason I couldn't cd to /system/app in ADB? Probably something else stupid.

Just confirm that the apps are removed (my busybox issue sometimes made it appear like the apps were gone, but when I looked again, they were back).
Did you reboot after removing?

To upgrade system apps:
1. Uninstall the old version using Root Explorer or Titanium Backup (I've found Titanium to be easier).
2. Reboot.
3. Install the new system app from the Market.

Dude,
Did you not read the OP? He's having trouble uninstalling with Root Explorer... how does telling him to uninstall with Root Explorer help?

Dude,
I read the op. I also read the followup where he figured out he had to remount in rw mode. I was attempting to offer the procedure that works 100% of the time for upgrading system apps.

Fair enough...

Hi !
I've downloader "SU303.zip" that is the files to install SuperUser. I put this file in sdcard and access to CWM to install this.
Then install correctly, and when i go to reboot i fix root permissions in (/system/bin/su).
Reboot correctly but when i like to root an app..like es file explorer doesn't appears the notification to allow or deny permissions to grant superuser permissions.

Hi !
No, i've rooted with CWM 6. I've installed "cm-10.1-20130221-NIGHTLY" with old BL

cm10 is pre rooted becaus it's a custom rom. so you only need to rood stockroms.

Hi
Ok is rooted now.. i updated supersu at play store and restart and now it's rooted
thanks

Guys, are you serious? Or it's some kind of joke? Looking how to root CM? Just open developers settings and look into root settings.

You just have to delete the data of superuser er supersu in the settings and then reboot.

Lost Root From Most Recent SuperSU App

Managed to lose root today. Updated SuperSU and chose to update binary via CWM instead of normal. Didn't work and I've posted about that on its relevant thread here.
As I said in my post there I tried reflashing the update.zip, but got a status 7 error, so I then tried AceGingerRoot.zip which was apparently successful in changing the binary from v1.27:SUPERSU (0) binary back to the old v2.3.1-ef (0) binary.
The problem is that I've still not got any root access. So the su files are all in the xbin folder, but apparently aren't readable.
TIA for your help/advice.

There is an app by CF called 'SU update fixer'. Try if it works.

My understanding is that SU Update Fixer is for people that can't update their SuperUser app via the market. I don't have any such problem. But thanks.

[Q] SuperSU /data dirctory to avoid root detection

Hi,
I have PhilZ-cwm6 installed with 4.12 running but I removed the SU by using Unroot_SuperUser-Busybox-Uninstaller-Update2-signed,zip application. Because an office application I want to run is not running and complaining about device being rooted.
Then I installed UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip using CWM.
But in this way SuperSu is got installed in /system and it is being detected by application and it complains about device rooted.
If I uninstall it and re-install using Play store it gives me error that SU binary is not found.
Please advise.
What I am trying to achieve is to install SuperSU in /data folder .
Thanks

Supersu is a system program, so will always install in system as it needs root access. It won't run from data AFAIK. Supersu is just an app that manages permissions. Just installing it does not give you root.

Thanks for reply But there are posts which suggest it to install in /data http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42009031&postcount=6
and people have done it.
Please advise.

It says there's an option to install it only in data in su app, have you found that?

No, if install the zip using CWM. I cant select any option there. And It automatically Installs itself in System

you may temporarily hide root for using this app
