I can root and all is good but as soon as I use an app that requires root I cannot click anything on the prompt. It will just ignore me. I have to go into the app to actually grant it access. Apps also take forever to actually see that it requires root and the freeze.
Anyone encounter this? Thanks

Go to the play store and download/install SuperSu, reboot
the phone and it should clear up the issue you are having.
It also might be a good idea to get busybox from the play store too.
Good luck!

I'm having the exact same issue.
Supersu was installed as a system app during the root process. It disables knox just fine. When I start a root app, it takes a very long time(1minute or more) before it asks permission.
I have Titanium working fine but other apps time out before the root prompt ask for permission.
Any ideas?

Open supersu and go into it's settings then go to
"default access" and click on it so it says "grant".
Reboot the phone and all should be good.
Good luck!

Go into settings/applications / manage applications. Then scroll down to the superuser app and force close then clear data. Then go to the app in your app drawer and restart the app. Then go into the settings of the superuser app and scroll down to notification type and choose regular / normal notification instead of toast notification. Then try your apps that require su you should be good to go. Let me know if this works.

Kifno did you try reflashing your rom again you shouldn't loose any settings or apps.Also you could try uninstalling superuser and reinstalling it,or don't know which recovery you are using but you could try fix permissions.
Also don't update the binarys a couple roms have that problem when u flash a new rom go to the market first thing and make sure su isn't automatically updated if so stop it I had to do that coming from cm6.1 to asop9.9.2

So I updated my D4 last week to the new build number. I kept root using the RootKeeper app. It indeed stayed rooted after, as I can still see the Superuser app in my app drawer. However, none of the privileges don't seem to work. For example, drocap2 won't take pictures and when I open Titanium, it tells me it couldn't get root access. It says "this attempt was made using the '/system/bin/su' command."
I haven't modded a phone since the OG, and I'm a bit rusty. Could someone help me solve this problem? Thanks!

Stupid question but after you updated did you restore root with the Root Keeper app?

Ha! No I didn't. I didn't know you had to restore it. I just saw the su app in my drawer and though I was good. This was the first time using that app. Thanks!

I am having the same issue, I restored using the root keeper app however the device rooted and root permission granted check boxes never go green. When I click restore root the su.apk pops up say permission was granted.
When I try and run such via the terminal app it command not found. I did look in /system/bin and such is there but no dice

Well it turns out a backup was dropped in /system and it was called su-backup. I was able to obtain root that way then I remounted system and copied it over to /system/bin
So, as it turns out, I did not think to backup my root with Rootkeeper, and now after the update, I still have Superuser but I'm unable to grant any apps superuser permissions. I got the Droid 4 utility .3 and tried to reroot. Unroot, then reroot, and basically everything I could think of, and still, no luck.
PS - Isn't unrooting supposed to remove superuser? It did not.
I had the same problem. Basically what has happened is you have lost root access, but the apps that use root are still there, and without root access, the unroot function is unable to remove them.
What I did, was manually push the files using adb :
adb push motofail /data/local/motofail
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/motofail
Then I tried the running the exploit to get root:
adb shell "/data/local/motofail exploit"
but it failed... I also tried remounting the system folder as rw and it failed so I couldn't get root.
After this, I booted into fastboot/recovery and wiped my data/cache. Then, I tried the rooting process again, got read/write permission errors (did not originally), wiped data/cache again, and finally tried the unroot process.
This got rid of my superuser.apk and su binary somehow.
After all of this, the rooting utility worked. So, once you manage to get rid of those files, you should be good to go. I apologize I cannot narrow it down any better.
Well, I appreciate your response, but I'm still not having any luck.
Here is what I did:
Rooted phone few weeks back, left it alone.
Installed update
Did a factory reset, superuser still intact, but not granting permissions
Came to these forums
Booted into recovery and wiped (Holding volume buttons at boot, pressing down then up, formatting cache and data/factory reset)
Tried to root using Droid 4 Utility .3 - Did not get many errors
Waited for that process, then again, booted into recovery and wiped
Ran Droid 4 Utility .3 UNROOT option.
Recieved errors in removing superuser.apk due to read-only file system. Permission was denied to remove the app data, system/bin, etc....
Please, I know there's a lot of topics/posts around here and other sites, but I feel like I've tried everything to the best of my knowledge and refuse to give up!
I had a similar problem. I had tinkered with my framework and the update would not install. Got that fixed but forgot to unroot before running the update and got stuck just like you. Tried several things but could not get root back nor completely unroot. In a fit of frustration i tried pete's roottools that i had used for my d2g and it uninstalled the superuser and then i was able to root with the d4 utility. The phone works fine but i suppose it could have upset some other part. So try at your own risk.
can you give me some details about your uninstalled the superuser ?i use the peter's roottool and can't find how to do it...

Hi,
I have the lg optimus l90.
I used the towelroot app to root the phone. i used a terminal app to verify that i do have root. when the app opened, it displayed a $ sign but when i typed "su" and pressed enter it gave me a "#" prompt. so am i rooted?
also i was told to install the superSU app. why do i need this? can't i just uninstall the bloatware right now since i am rooted?
I installed the superSU app but it was not able to install the su binary because i did not reboot the phone after using towelroot. I uninstalled the SuperSU app. anyhow, what do I need to do now to remove those bloatware apps. there is no option to uninstall in the apps section of the android settings application.
finally, I read somewhere that i should use nobloat app to uninstall the bloatware but it is not uninstalling the bloatware. I uninstalled it.
so what do I do now?
any help would be much appreciated.
thanks.
Superuser is needed for apps to have root rights to your phone. Install superuser. Reboot phone and open app. Reboot again if needed. Rooting is useless without superuser installed

Along with root and SuperSU, you will also need a root App manager or root file manager. I personally prefer to use ES File Explorer as it is both an application manager ( user and system ) as well as an awesome file manager.
There is no list of acceptable system apps to remove. So be very careful as to what you uninstall or you may endup with a soft bricked phone or one that spazzes out whenever it feels like it. I would recommend making backups of any app you want to remove before uninstalling it. At least you might be able to restore them if something goes wrong.

thank you both for the replies.
so what exactly is SuperSU for? when I opened it up I saw nothing in the apps list and I did not see anything else in the other lists within the app. also, I did not restart the phone before trying to update the su files and when I did restart the phone nothing updated. So, do I use something like ES file explorer to remove bloatware?
by the way, when I tried to surf the web after installing superSU app, the web browser was extremely slow. the webpages loaded very slowly but when after I uninstalled the superSU app, it was loading the pages fast again as normal. what's up with that?
thanks.

SuperSU is a binary executable that grants or denies superuser requests. Without it root is worthless.
You won't see anything in SuperSU permission list until an app asks for superuser permissions. When first opening the SuperSU app you should get prompted to update/install the su binary. Allow that action to happen.

That's because the su binary was never updated.

so in order to run something like the nobloat app I need to grant it permission to be a superuser? I never had to do anything like that when I ran the nobloat app and It actually worked. It still does not make sense to me what supersu is used for.
That's because the su binary was never updated.

I ran the towelroot app and it was successful. However, I did not reboot the phone before attempting to update the su binary and the superSU app said i should restart before updating. I restarted the phone but it never updated the su binary when I ran the superSU app again. What do I do now?

Hi All,
First post here so be nice
I rooted my Nexus 9 yesterday and everything appears to have gone through successfully - I ran the Root Checker app which also confirmed "Root access is properly installed on this device!". I also have SuperSU installed and functioning.
However, when I try to run apps like System App remover to remove unwanted bloatware, the uninstall fails and I am told I do not have root access. I have granted this app super user permissions in SuperSU too.
Has anyone else had this problem or knows how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!!

Hey,
Thanks for the super-fast response. So I used the Nexus Root Toolkit and everything went through successfully however, I am still finding the same problem.
Root Checker confirms that the device is rooted but when I try to use some apps to remove unwanted bloatware, I am told that I don't have root access and that the uninstall has failed (yes I did grant the apps super user privileges with SuperSU)
Hmm.
I've installed Magisk (latest version) on a brand new phone (Samsung Galaxy J4). It is just out of the box. All apps that need root are granted access. Also Titanium Backup! BUT when I start TB I get the error: Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges...
I'm lost here what to do to get TB running. Any help please?

Hi,
I have the same problem with Titanium. When I start it, than I see for a short moment a little message that TB got root.
I think this message is from Magisk. But then follows a message screen from TB that it didn't get root.
In Magisk root is enabled for TB!
Rootchecker says that I have root. Other apps have root too. Only TB does not recognize the rooting.
Which informations do you need for help? Phone is Samsung J6+ with Android 8.1.0 ans Magisk 18.1
No Root with Titanium und Link2SD
Hi,
I have the same problem with Titanium and Link2SD. Both programms get root-rights from Magisk. Both are in the list of enabled apps. But these programms don't accept the root. First I thougt that this is a problem of Titanium. But now I think the problemmaker is Magisk. Magist gives "root", but not full correct. like SU does. Some programms accept it, some not.
Or just use Migrate, for app backups its far less buggy than horrible Titanium Backup
Got rid of that POS years ago after the dozenth time it failed to restore stuff, moved to MyBackup Pro and never looked back
But lately been using Migrate for a member here on XDA, solid work, cant rate it highly enough, and its Free: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-migrate-custom-rom-migration-tool-t3862763
Its what i advise people to use.....

No help? Ok - I gave up. Titanium Backup, Link2Sd and Magisk are not working properly together. I completely reset my phone and updated it to Android 9 (PIE). My first attempt with Magisk "bricked" my J6 after a few weeks. during a update of Magisk. And the new attempt with my new J6 + does not work properly. I'll wait a few months and hope that eventually there will be a working root solution for Galaxy J6+ with Android 9.
Hello friends, I have found the solution for me. Galaxy Tab-A with android 9 and MTK-6753 with android 10 + Magisk-v21.4 + Magisk_Manager_8.0.7 + Titanium Backup-Pro-v8.3.3.
The problem is neither Magisk nor Titanium, but Busybox: there are several versions of Busybox. Titanium cannot acquire root rights with busybox-for-android, neither free busybox nor busybox-installer-arm.bin or other versions. But it works fine with com.jrummy.busybox.installer.apk or stericson.busybox.apk (you may need to test both). So: open your busybox, uninstall it, reinstall another version, and test with Titanium Backup.
Good luck.
