Hello all,
A friend gave me his Droid 3 which was successfully rooted (Superuser version 3.13 is installed). When I look at the log I can see many past "Allowed" entries. However, I attempted to install Safestrap (version 3.05), and it was denied Superuser access (can see the denial in the log). I then attempted to grant other apps Superuser permissions and I get a "[App Name] has been denied Superuser permissions" message (and it shows "Denied" in the Superuser Log).
The really odd things are that (1) it doesn't prompt to allow or deny (despite the setting saying to prompt), and (2) if I select Superuser funcitons within the Superuser App, it will allow them. For example, if I select "temp unroot", it says "Superuser has been granted Superuser permissions".
I know I can SBF the phone and start over, but there are lots of paid Apps on the phone and I just assume try to work on getting Superuser working again if it's possible.
Please help!
Try setting to always allow

Solved! Ok, with the device connected to my computer and playing around in adb, I noticed that the permissions for the SU binary were all goofed up. So I issued the command: adb shell "chmod 6755 /system/bin/su" and that solved the problem. Hope this helps someone else.
Shadow: Thank you sir for your reply. I should have mentioned in my original that I did try "always allow" in addition to prompting and it didn't make a difference. However, I solved it by changing the su binary's permissions (see above). Thanks again for takinig the time to reply.

Hello...
My question is simple. Why I get permission denied on rooted phone?
When I type: adb shell, I get $. Then I type su and I get this message: Permission Denied.
I followed this how-to (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792016) to root my phone and everything was fine. I get root privilegies and installed Superuser.apk, su, busybox...
But now, when I try to get root privilegies, I get the message above. Why?
Thanks and sorry for my english.
Because your phone isn't rooted. Either you didn't do it right or it's unrooted somehow, perhaps you got an OTA.
I think my phone is rooted, because there are many apps that use root permissions installed and working normally.

Then su isn't set up properly, or isn't asking for superuser permissions, or has been denied superuser permissions? Look in your Superuser app, maybe clear settings in it and let su ask again.
So, I cleared the settings in Superuser.apk and tried open Adfree apps that needs su permissions... and it opened and got permissions normally. I really don't understand what is the problem...

You do have usb debugging enabled right?
Hey guys,
Long story short, I rooted using this guide (zergrush)
rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-gt-n7000method-1/
Everything went fine, it said it was successful, rebooted and seemed to work,
However, Superuser wasn't installed, so I went to the market and downloaded it.
It was missing the SU binary, so I found it online,
I'm just wondering where do I place the SU binary file?
---------------------------------------
I'm not sure if its rooted or not, as root explorer shows all the hidden system folders etc,
however if I go to the command line and type SU I get "$SU not found" not "#"
It makes sense that I'm not getting # as Superuser wasn't installed (the SU binary anyway)
So In short, how do I check for root (without using command line or another app to check for Superuser)
and second, where do I place the SU binary if I download it from the internet?
Thanks,
James
First thing Which ROM is installed on your device?(can see under setting - about phone)
Simple thing, if you dont have superuser or superSU application in drawer, you are not rooted.
When first time use SuperSU, it will ask to update binary N it will place automatically if you are rooted.
There's an app on the market/play store that will tell you if you're rooted or not. It's called Root Checker Basic. However, I had SU installed so I'm not sure if that's a factor or not.

Ok so we all are annoyed about superuser app not remembering requested permissions. So i was just experimenting around and that part worked out for me Here is the solution:
First:Check If the superuser remembers granted and denied permissions to an app by launching a root app giving it root access. And relaunching it again if it shows a popup to show requests. If no then move to further step
Second Step: Download super su app(by the great chainfire) and check if it gives installation sucess. If no then move ahead
Third : Download Su update fixer from the Playstore
Fourth:Run the su update fixer app.If it asks for permission then grant it.Mostly it will force close. (Dont worry it should force close).Now if u observe on the device u might not see the super user app.Dont worry its natural.
Fifth:Now download superuser app from the market (mine is v3.1.3(46) ) try to get that one.After the download is completed run the app.
Sixth:Mostly it will force close.Reboot your device
Seventh: once the device is started. Run the superuser app.
Voila It will now remember all your permissions without fails
Incase it does not remember Use the super su app and when it prompts for the installation of binaries allow the superuser request
Supersu works flawlessly
NOTE:I am not responsible if any damage occurs to your device. I just shared it with you because it worked for me on CM9 CM10 and PAC roms

It solved for me, my set is Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Android 4.1.1, just root it recently via "Galaxy Nexus ToolKit".
However, the superuser will not remember, and keep asking.
Note: the superuser by ChainsDD, not install via play market, but install from "Galaxy Nexus ToolKit" (last update 21 Oct 2012) during root process.
SuperSU work great for me~
After rooting my KFHD with QemuRoot (which was successful according to Qemu) I tried running Root Check Pro.
The message I get.

What does this mean exactly? That I'm not actually rooted, or not rooted correctly?
Solved! I'll post the solution soon!
Please do, I also have this problem though I think I used a different root method. I know I am rooted as I have Superuser and I am using Google Play now with other customizations but apps like Titanium Backup are not working because of the root thing.

In the most simple way to do it, open up the app listing and tap on Superuser to initialize the daemon. That's it. Once the daemon starts, root access will manifest in those little boxes with the permission.

Please excuse my noobness, but do you mean go to settings then applications? Thx In. Advance
Hey guys, so I'm trying to install BusyBox on my new Nexus 6 running stock 6.0, rooted. When I try to install via Stericson's installer I got from the Play store, I get:
"We could not verify the integrity of the binary selected..." flashes for a moment, then:
"BusyBox installer was not allowed root access. This may be an issue with Superuser, open Superuser and make sure that you are allowing root access. This application will not work without root access."
I've made sure that the app is allowed root access, and have also tried deleting it from SuperSu so it would prompt me and I could grant it access again, but still the same issue. I'm not sure what the deal is, it seems like I could be having root issues? I appear to have root since I am able to use TiBu, but something seems funky. For example usually when I open FKUpdater it says "FKUpdater has been granted super user access..." and then "Unable to acquire ROOT access." Other times it only says "Unable to acquire ROOT access." I haven't tried flashing a kernel with it because I don't want to at the moment while I figure this other issue out, so I'm not sure if it's falsely reporting the root error.
So, I looked into things further and it seems like I may have some sort of permissions issue. I tried using JRummy's BusyBox installer, but that fails also and just tells me to try installing a different version of BusyBox. It also includes a script for fixing permissions, and when I run it I get "error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported" and "/data/user/0/com.crummy.busybox.installer/files/temp.sh[118]: sync: can't be executed: permission denied."
Permissions for /data/user/0/com.crummy.busybox.installer are set to drwxr-x--x, as is /system. Also /system is only showing 58 MB free but I don't think that's a problem...
Any ideas? I'm totally stumped...
set your SElinux to be permissive(via app or terminal command)
