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.

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.

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...

Try supersu. It has almost the same functionalities and maybe it works. Otherwise try to extract the su binary from superuser zip and adb push it to system/xbin. If you do so, push apk to system/app too

Please forgive my ignorance, this is my first android phone....I'm trying to install the Helper in Secure Settings so I can toggle gps in Tasker, and it said I need an app called BusyBox. However, I'm unable to install BusyBox from the BusyBox app I got at the place store. "Smart Install" says the installation failed, and "Normal Install" just reboots my phone. How do I correctly install BusyBox?
Rooted HTC One running 4.1.2
Have you rooted your device first? Becoz without root you can't install busy box on your device.. so Google how to root..:thumbup:

Yep, my device is currently rooted. Still running the stock ROM though if that makes a difference
I'd like to know the answer to this too..

From what I have been reading, you need to disable system write protection first. Refer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230341
After that you can install Busybox.
If you're already rooted then the titanium backup app available via play store has an option that will automatically install busybox
Alternatively you could use this free busybox installer app from play store

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
