Works perfectly before I got a notification to upgrade su binary. and when i did upgrade, superuser always force closes and doesn't give permission to root apps anymore or even a notification for newly installed root apps. Please help me resolve this issue or maybe an update to fix it. Thanks! *update* -tried tuning on usb debbuging and it worked again :)

At first I thought this app was the best thing since sliced bread. However, now that I've tried CWM's equivalent, I'm not nearly as impressed (especially with the CWM Superuser being FOSS, and not requiring "Elite" to have extra features like a PIN). Best of luck to you all, though; it's been a fun ride.

Recently, I moved from an app drawer SU 3.1.3 to the system app SU 3.2 from the dedicated website. I guess when the change was made to flat files, or maybe the fix on requesting permission, the app went haywire for me. I still had root access, but it would consistantly ask me for access right, even with remember checked. Also, I believe it caused my WiFi tether to act up, which isnt good seeing as my only internet is my phone. In process of rolling back. Stock ICS EVO3D CDMA Unlocked BL S-On, hboot 1.58

Love superuser ever since I rooted my shooter its been working better then ever. I can someone please tell me though when I go to update from 2.3.1 to whatever the new binary is. Why does it get all the way through update just to tell me the test was a failure

Previously when I tried to update the binary it fails and my phone gets rebooted automatically. After updating my busybox pro to the latest version the update goes very smoothly. So those who encounter binary update problem please update your busybox to the latest version and then update the binary. That will solve the problem. Until now I ha ve never faced any problem. After update, all data of the previous version except the su binary is saved. So applications won't ask for root access. Thanks.

When i try to update the binary, it says downloading manifest... failed. So when i press try again it goes to the screen before then it force quits. I don't know what this means but i hope you can tell me if its me or your application.

About this app

Grant and manage Superuser rights for your phone.

This app requires that you already have root, or a custom recovery image to work.

Note: App and binary will have different versions. The app is updated more often than the binary is.

This app cannot be uninstalled if it was installed with your ROM or root. If there is no uninstall option, it's because you placed it in /system/app, not me. It is impossible for an app to be installed in /system/app by the Play store. In fact, the entire /system partition is read only at runtime. The only way for an app to be placed in /system/app is via a rooting process (which usually installs Superuser), or by remounting the system partition as read/write and manually putting it there.

Permissions requested are for:
Internet - updating the binary
External storage - backup/restore for elite users
NFC - creating an allow tag for elite users
Boot completed - fix database on boot

Support request emails that simply say "Doesn't work" or something to that effect are automatically deleted by our stupidity filter and will not be answered.

New features

Fix FC when entering preferences on pre-HC devices
Improve binary updater
Add button to action bar on tablets to access info page
