I had this issue too, but i coudnt fix it, updating the SU app wont change your phones binaries, i updated but in the end it couldn ask for root permisions and update failed, so i decided to go to options and hide the outdated binaries notification and troubles solved, i know its not the best way but at least it wont bother me anymore lol
try superSU, i tried on my friend tablet when superuser didn't want to update then it automatically solve the problem.
idk if it will works on yours but it never hurts to try...
look if superuser is listed on the list with apps that get root (in superuser-app)
if yes => delete it, close it, reopen it and try again to update
if not => reboot, DONT DO ANYTHING BESIDES THE FASTEST WAY into superuser app and then try updating
if 2 is not working, retry it about 5 times. worked for me once. (not exactly at 5 times, but i ha to repeat this and on one try it suddenly worked. strange but....well...did the job)
Thx guys, it helped. I just rooted my phone again and the problem is solved.
I have sought on way to update my SU app,
but i flash many root's app and the old version persists
any idea ?

Could always use adb interface and push latest su binary to it. Then try to load supersu app.

Ignore it, even if you update it again it is just the same...

It's happened to everyone and is scattered around everywhere, but how do I go about fixing this error? None of my root apps can access anything anymore and I get this error in Terminal when trying to "su".

What were you doing before it was denying SU?
Usually a wipe will fix that. Recovery (Home + Power) => Alt-W => Alt-S with your preferred ROM.

Well the OTA update may have had something to do with it...so who knows.
You installed an OTA update? Of course you're going to lose root. Now you've given yourself the task of re-rooting.
maxisma said:
AHH! Please forgive me! This should work:
mount system
cat /system/bin/sh > /system/bin/su
chmod 04755 /system/bin/su
if that doesn't fix the issue, try the same , but replace last line with chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

try that in RECOVERY (just to be safe)
i'm not sure what I was doing before I lost it...I know it worked before a shutdown/restart, and then the phone came on without it working. I'm using a theme which I flashed but SU worked fine. Never installed an OTA update.
I'll try those prompts in recovery.
Did you turn off USB Debugging? I've had problems with su and the SU Permission app if I turn that off under the Application > Development section.

wooww, MAJOR thanks , I never thought of this and I almost recovered my whole setup (since I had a amonRA rec that was not for dream, without terminal..)
all the time things were crashing, I thought the build was bugged.. thanks
Never had this problem. Still have USB Debugging turned on and I can access SuperUser via both Terminal Emulator and SUFBS Terminal.
Did you get that app that promises root or did you downgrade to RC29 first?

Hi,
i want know if it's necessary to update Busybox for OB after rooting ? And if not necessary, can i make this, and what are the news ?
Thanks
Busybox already installed by rooting, and it depends of what you need. Perhaps you are a developer to trying script or command. For me, I'm not updating busybox.

You can update it via Busybox Installer via Market. It will give you lists from newest (update) to old. So you can Update or go back to previous.
Same as updating CWM and Superuser, fixed bugs if there's any.
no need.

But if i update it, does it bricked my phone ? Or remove my root access ?

It doesn't needed. But if you want it, then try it.. It won't bricked your phone or removed root...

In fact, i want to update it because one of my application say me that it could better works if busybox was updated !

Use ROOTCHECKER app....attached to this post.....
PRESS THANKS IF I HELPED......
Well, check if the su app is still there or not
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
well i already checked whther su was there or not bt it is not. more on its not difficult to install it from the market. doesn't mean that when you have su, it means your phone is rooted.
You can also try Titanium Backup - it will show You an error if Your phone is not rooted
just try some apps, what require root.

i guess not.
if SU isnt their and you haven't downloaded it from the market + you have tried apps that require Root access and have gave you an error, then your not rooted

Keep resetting your phone until root comes back, it's just luck if the phone boots with root or not. One of the many bugs with 4.3 I wish I didn't update it has nothing that benefits me over 4.2.2
This is driving me nuts... I was on 5.1.1 and I am trying to get it rooted.
I'm following a guide which goes like this..
1. downgrade to kitkat 4.4 using flashtool
2. root 4.4
3. Install custom recovery
4. Flash 5.1.1 pre-rooted zip
I have had problem after problem and I think something may have screwed up along the way.
I finally managed to get kitkat installed using flashtool and a generic C6903 .108 ftf.
Problem 1... I used 'Easy Root tool' from xda to root kitkat... but it seemed to hang at the cleaning up' stage - is this a problem?
Problem 2... every time I restart my phone - kitkat asks what language etc. Whats that all about?
PROBLEM 3. The guide Im following says to install busybox after rooting kitkat.
I've tried 2 different busybox installers and both of them fail when trying to install bb.
QUESTION: Are these 3 problems linked and will it prevent me from continuing with the guide I am trying to follow??? i.e. do I need busybox to install XZ Dual Recovery and therefore a pre-rooted zip?
Root Checker basic says kitkat is rooted, as does the first busybox installer.
I'm taking a short break from this nightmare, so in the meentime if any of you chaps could advise me on whether or not its ok to continue or if I have fecked up the whole process, that would be great.
Thanks in advance
problem 1 : re run the installer again, don't use administrator mode
problem2 : use any simcard on your phone
others, sorry i have no idea, you could download busybox from playstore ?
I would just start over and try a different root program. busybox is failing to install because the root didn't work.

Problem1... thank you, I'll try again
Problem2... Thanks. I thought It could be the lack of a SIM card and then I thought no! that can't be it lol... as usual - I was wrong ha
others... yeah mate, tried 2 different installers from play store - no joy with either.
Thanks for your help

Cheers bud, I'll try 'easy root tool' once more without admin priv, if its the same story I'll start over and try a different root tool. Any suggestions on that?
Also: how come root checker says I'm all good and rooted but busybox wont install? even one of the busybox installers says "Your device is rooted"!?!?
Thanks for all the help mate
i think you don't have supersu installed, and busy box couldn't get root rights
so download supersu from playstore, open it and update binaries as normal, then reboot
and you would be able to install bb

Try the suggestion made by @Gamer4Life, just in case you somehow got root but it failed to install the APK needed to manage it. Might save you some work. That would explain why everything thinks you're rooted.
As for an alternative, if you still need it, I think I used kingroot successfully on 4.4.4.

Thanks mate. I was hoping Gamer4life might be right as there was no Supersu installed.
I installed supersu from play store no problem... but when I try to update binaries it says' update failed. Please reboot and try again.'. tried reboot but same story.
I guess I'll try 'easy root tool' again and then will give kingroot a bash if needbe.
One last pre-emptive question...
If I root kitkat using kingroot... should I replace kinguser with supersu before proceeding with XZDR and a pre-rooted zip or will kinguser be sufficient to continue.
Many thanks to you and everyone else who has tried to help me with this clusterf*ck,.. I appreciate it
can you screenshot the error you got ?
i reread your op, you don't need busybox to install dual recovery, it installs like the easy root installer, very easy
just one click and you are ready to go
also xzdualrecovery will root your device and install supersu by default if you have kitkat, so you can skip that.
edit (i don't think this will work because towelroot doesn't work on z1 4.4.4 108)

must have been a glitch in the matrix mate becuase its now working (Possibly thanks to your suggestion of installing Supersu?).
I reconnected to PC in order to give 'easy root tool' another crack at it.
As soon as I start install.bat It says checking if device is rooted AND I get a superuser request on my phone for adb.shell - Happy days!
I granted root access to adb shell and the root tool says Job Done. Root success etc.
So I disconnect and try to update su binaries and it worked first go!!!
*Touch wood* I think I'm now past the tricky part and it should be plain sailing from here on in. lol
THANKS for the help Gamer4Life, and everyone else who has chipped in.... hopefully my next post will be to report a fully rooted 5.1.1 :fingers-crossed:
