I have install the Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed on my phone,but how do i flashing the superSu
I did this
You should have root access but lets just be sure anyways. Go to C:/android and Shift, right click to Open Command Window here.
Type in adb.exe shell and press enter
You should get $ meaning adb has connected to your phone.
Next, type in su. If you obtain #, this means you have root access.
And this worked on my Phone
I have not put in the new mod yet,i will do this now

To flash super user. -
Download the SuperUser and copy to your SD.
Then flash it thru recovery.
Now. if you have already installed Super User. Check if you have the root access to make sure you have the root access for your phone.
Download "Root Checker" from play store.

Alright, so I've used the SuperOneClick application to root my phone, which tells me was done successfully, however, I don't seem to be able to access files in the system folder through adb.
Is there some way I can positively confirm whether my phone is or isn't actually rooted? Like I said I was using adb to push a file into the system folder, and was given a permission denied message. At this time the only thing I'm attempting to do to the phone is this:
/showthread.php?t=820749&page=3
It seems pretty basic and it's my first android phone, so I'm starting off small here..
Using the leaked 2.2 FW, other than the being rooted (attempted), the phone is stock 2.2..

If you type:
adb shell
su (after hitting enter, you should get a popup on your phone asking for superuser permission, click allow)
If you see this:
C:\Users\*yournamehere*>adb shell
$ su
su
#
Then you have root permissions.

I have the app on my phone, but when I try this, I do not get a prompt for super user permissions, and the CL shell returns permission denied

One click root after update: "We have root, but couldn't push busybox. Not sure why!"
I just updated .890 which seemed to go fine with no errors (unfroze all bloat, but did not unroot), but I lost root, as expected.. but when I use Pete's one-click root tool (latest version), it gets to step 3 and gives me the error about not being able to push busybox...!? It says I "have root", but none of my apps recognize it.. I've pulled the battery, rebooted and retried like 10 times... still can't get it to re-root. I've made sure Debugging and Unknown Sources is enabled and tried in Charge Mode and Mass Storage mode... Am I going to have to stock flash this thing and re-update & re-root?
I THINK I have some type of root.. maybe... because Root Explorer will let me mount the System directory as R/W and I can TRY to manipulate files, but if I delete something (like su), it appears to delete successfully, but the file comes back if I refresh the directory.. but I also noticed when I go into the System directory, Root Explorer claims I only have 1MB of free space out of 318.00MB... how did that happen? If I try to run Superuser.apk, it force closes on me.
Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated...
there's an app on the android market that will push busybox if you have root. I'd look into that
edit: have you attempted to run the one-click root again? and if that doesn't work you can try to use the adb method if you're comfortable with it. And make sure that all of your drivers and everything are up-to-date
I have done battery pulls and like a dozen+ re-tries at the 1-click root, always get the same error.. I have been into the ADB shell to try and figure this out and I see the ADB Shell starts out by giving me a # prompt... that means writable/root, right? Any instructions on what I have to do from there?
I will look into that push busybox app, thanks.

This is where all the info about the adb and one-click stuff. The tough part about the adb method is manually pushing su to the (i think) system/xbin folder. Then i just used the app on the marketplace to push busybox. But there's a download link for both of those on the website
Thanks for the links. I think a problem with my ADB is when I reboot it (step 3), I no longer have a # prompt.. it goes back to the $ prompt... the only way I can seem to get the # prompt in ADB is when I use Pete's temporary ADB root... but once I reboot, that goes away. When I try to do step 4, rm /data/local/12m, it says it's a directory and it's not empty and it won't remove it. :\
How do I normally make ADB give me that # prompt so I can write/edit? or am I totally off-base here?..
*edit* I am going to try and do Pete's temp ADB root again and just try steps 18+ and see if that gets me anywhere...

After temp ADB root, steps 18 and beyond should do it. You may want to check /system/bin and /system/xbin to remove the old su binaries before pushing the new one. Some folks have one in each location for some reason. Put it in xbin, but if it doesn't work, /system/bin will. Superuser wouldn't recognize xbin for me so I moved it to /system/bin and i'm good since.
Anyone have a thought on the xbin not always working? I think this is the 3rd topic i've seen with this issue, not including myself.

OK, I got root back! I used steps 18+ for "ADB Method" (after using Pete's temp ADB root) and essentially replaced SU and Superuser.apk, CHMOD'd it rebooted and I had root! Thanks guys!!
I had Emanon's ROM on it for a while, but it just came crashing down so I flashed CM7.2... boots a lot faster, seems a bit more stable.
But I used to have full access, and now I don't. How do I get it back? I just want to switch out the bootanimation.zip.
Came across this:

Hi there, you need to have s-off (aka security off or full root) to write to /system and /data with the device booted, i.e. using root explorer etc.
You can also do it with s-on, but you have to to that with your PC via cmd prompt and adb shell which is less convenient.
Great guide to getting s-off here, took me <10 mins!

I've just finished mucking around with a HTC, so I'm a bit confused, but I gather there's no fastboot mode on the Mini, so I can't see how I can access the phone's flash from the PC without using the ADB shell...
And I'm not sure s-on/off is even relevant to the Mini... halp!
Okay, I was able to do it with Absolute System; must have missed the SU prompt or suffered a system glitch when I was installing ES File Explorer.
Anyone know how I can grant SU privileges to ES?

Go to the su app and grant the permission for ES
you are coming from HTC so I am clearing some points some of them are of-topic
no fastboot instead download mode
bootloaders are not locked so no s-on no s-off in Samsung devices
use Odin multidownloader to flash firmware through PC
never use rom manager on this mobile, else a brick will be waiting for you
galaxy mini is easily root able
just flash an update.zip in recovery and you will be rooted
after root to change something in system
type mount -o remount,rw /system then do whatever you want to
stock rom cannot be backed up with the help of cwm
Update:
Holy crap, I just thought of something like, way stupid simple.
Just update Su before updating to 4.1. Then simply use OTA Rootkeeper like normal.
Again, I sincerely apologize for not realizing this sooner, and wasting a lot of time.
I guess I'll keep this guide here for people who forgot to update su before updating. Sorry guys.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You might want to read this all the way through, THEN do the steps. Good Luck.
Remember to have Unknown Sources enabled.
First off, you're going to need to start off with ICS, rooted. Thats a pretty straight forward process, and can be accomplished totally with the AHD Utility (Here). Go ahead and install OTA Root keeper, we're going to need that.
After Root Keeper is installed, locate it with your favorite file manager, I prefer Root Explorer, but anything that can mount with r/w is great. It's going to be in /data/app. Copy the APK to /system/app and install it. Do this exact same thing with your file manager's APK. This way, they wont be uninstalled when we update to 4.1.
Run OTA Rootkeeper. Backup Su, and temp unroot. From here, you can upgrade to 4.1 without losing your essentials by using stock recovery to flash the 4.1 zip.
So that's finished, you're now in Jelly Bean and you decide not to read the rest of this because you think "oh i know where this is going, I flashed roms back on the atrix 4G all the time, im a PRO at this phone stuff" and you've restored root with Rootkeeper, and you're like "wat the heck, i dont have root, lying tutorial". Have no fear, we're not done yet.
In JB, open Rootkeeper and restore root from backup.
Now go update the Superuser app from Google Play (Anyone else ever call it Market still?)
Ok, almost done. If you were to go in to Superuser and update the binary, it would not work (I don't have an explanation for why, it just says Root failed. Probably since we're not actually rooted (but we have su so wtf mate)) So what we're going to need to do is go download the binary here from androidsu.com.
Extract the su binary from the zip and put it on your SD card. On your phone, using that trusty File explorer from earlier, mount the fs as r/w and put su in /system/bin. Make sure permissions are all checked EXCEPT Group Write and Others write. (I don't know if it makes a difference, but I don't want to mislead you.)
Alternatively, you can use ADB. Mount the file system as r/w on the phone. Put su on the root of your hard drive, and use " adb push c:/su /system/bin "
Then it's done. Test root from adb with " adb shell su " and from the phone by using any root app, or typing "su" in terminal emulator. Or just root checker.
Thanks for making this so easy! Updated to JB without losing anything. However, I hit a snag. Everything was okay until I tried to update su.bin via ES File Explorer. I couldn't write to system/bin, and couldn't get the app to gain root access again. Now I'm stuck with no root... Can I adb the file in, or somehow write to system/bin? Or will I have to do this all over again? I just really don't want to lose any settings.

Yes. The un-updated version of Su should be enough to give ADB root, so you can use ADB to remount the filesystem with r/w, then push the new su.
For future readers who don't know:
First, navigate to ADB in the terminal of your choice (Command Prompt on Windows, Terminal on Linux/OS X. I'll be using Windows.)
Do this by typing
Code:
cd /your directory ADB is in/
In my case, it now says "C:/Users/MyName/Desktop/ADB" because I keep ADB on my desktop like a silly person.
Now, remount your filesystem in ADB with read/write access. The command is
Code:
adb shell su mount /system rw
Now, we can push that new SU binary with ease, with
Code:
adb push c:/The_Directory_you_keep_su_in/ /system/bin
In my case, It was just "adb push c:/su /system/bin" because I keep files I want to push on the root of my hard drive, like a silly person.
Now, switch system back to read only with
Code:
adb shell su mount /system ro
All done, use Superuser app to Check for updates. It should say you're up to date, and if you update anyway, it'll do it without failing.
Is there another method to this? I have this problem idk why it says I have root saved but it won't let me restore? I don't have computer access and my root keeper says I have root?

After following all the steps. When i install root checker, it is telling me i don't have root.
Below is what i got back from superuser:
Su Binary Updater
Downloading Manifest... Okay!
Parsing manifest.. Okay!
Latest version = 3.1.1
Checking installed version = 3.1.1
Upacking sutools... okay!
Checking current install path.. /system/bin/su
Downloding new binary.. okay!
Gaining root access... fail!
Any idea to help?
Hey guys! I accidentally "forgotten" access to the ADB Shell on my Super SU. I am really scared now. How do I manually re-enable it? I don't want to flash my phone and stuff if possible.
P.S. If this is the wrong topic/thread please feel free to direct me to the proper area.

Regranting su access is an extremely quick and simple process. All you have to do to be able to use root from adb shell is to start and and shell on the device again, call su and grant root from the SuperSU access prompt that will appear on the device, regranting access to apps is simple too, simply open the app and when it calls for su, SuperSU will bring up the access prompt for any app/uid that it hasn't got any stored settings for already
