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.

titanium backup says i am rooted but i don't have busybox so i need busybox but i can't get it to install that either...i even tried to use the busybox installer fromt the market but superuser won't grant it access......
this is holding me back big time on my phone lots of apps require superuser to grant them access

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

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?
thanks.
Hi all
I've run into this this morning just to realize that it had happened before :
swapper2 app, which has had root access since I installed it (of course), requested root access but under the name "swapper2 [uid]".
I granted the access and checked in SuperSU, the app appears twice, once as "swapper2" and once as "swapper2 [uid]".
There is another app with "double root access" : catlog.
Can someone explain why this is so, and whether I should worry or not ?
For the moment, I removed the second root access of both apps.
It's a quirk in how these apps request root access. If the first time the [uid] variant showed up was when actually using those apps, then there is nothing to worry about.
Open supersu go to settings uncheck Re-authentication
I don't want to uncheck re-auth, I want to be that the apk running with root is the one I allowed to run with root.
Those two apps where not updated, swapper2 was sideloaded, I don't think it's available on the play store.
Hello, i know this is a stupid question but what is "Root privilege"
I was installing game killer to cheat a game on my Moto x play and it said "Root privilege is needed" and I already rooted my phone, can anyone tell me what should i do? I can't mod the game now :/
Root with latest SU either system or systemless does not matter and try again
Try opening your Superuser or SuperSU app and making sure root access for said app is set to "Grant".
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!!

Just a friendly suggestion/recommendation to help you locate a solution for your issue since I don't have that device.
Good Luck!

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.
