SuperSu asks for root access on startup, normal? - SuperSU

Hi all,
I rebooted my phone and SuperSU started doing something strange that it has never done, on startup it asked for root privs. I said no, it asked again, and again, etc. I had to tell it not to ask for 15min. I find this a bit strange as it has never done this, makes me wonder if it somehow got infected..? I don't see why it would need to ask for this, especially on startup.
Thanks,
Gabriel

in supersu options check ''trust sistem user'' :good:

Issues after rooting n1, please help

Ok Firstly I did search, I couldnt find anything, maybe its cause im tired and frustrated, but i couldnt find any help to my problems. And i apologize in advance for my noobtardness.
Ok here it goes....I finally rooted my phone, after alot of research and almost a year of owning it I decided to make the leap.
Well i followed the instructions here (forum dot xda-developers dot com/showthread.php?t=636795) and everything went nice and smooth...until i did step 3 under "ROOT", after the reboot is when it started acting up. It reboots every couple of minutes is always wanting to force close, and freezes up on the launcher select screen, my n1 is unusable.....
now heres the other thing, i searched around online, tried doing the superboot following the instructions here (theunlockr dot com/2010/01/02/how-to-root-the-nexus-one/) well after i finish step step 9 my phone reboots and works just fine.
now the real problem, when i reboot with my n1 working it stops working, does the same stuff it did before, unless i go back into "fastboot usb" and do step 9 again.
anyone know how to fix this??? And thank you again for any help and for dealing with my noobness
When SU - Superuser was installed on the phone during root, did you click the checkbox to always allow SU permissions while the phone was being rooted? Also during initial bootup after the root, did you do the same for the programs requesting SU access?
I had a similar situation where I "thought" I rooted - however I never checked the box and clicked accept, so I got a lot of force closes and issues from that. Basically, I wasn't watching the N1 screen while the root process was taking place and didn't see the pop-up.
After I tried rooting through superboot again, I saw the pop-up, made sure the box was checked and clicked accept - then it worked fine. Also make sure you do that for any other programs that need routine root access like Titanium Backup or ROM Manager or else you'll have issues.
No I didn't see anything pop up for SU, guess I shoulda been paying a little more attention.
In order to do it over do I need to unroot first??? If so what's the best way to do so???
NM, just found the unroot steps on xda, I will try it when I get home, hope it works this time hope I pay more attention this time.

[Q] ResetNotify asking for SU permission?

Hi all,
today i was playing with my New One and suddenly this "ResetNotify" popped out asking for SU permission, anyone knows what this process/app is and what does it do?
My phone is on stock rom, rooted with SuperUser, clockwork recovery, and Xposed mod only.
Thanks!!
I tried searching "ResetNotify" but i couldnt find any information, has anyone seen/encounter this? i didnt had the chance to copy down the process but i believe its com.htc.resetnotify?
just wondering if anyone has seen this and what does this process do that requires root permission? if i never rooted my phone it would still work?
I see (or at least saw) it on a regular basis. I also did a search to try and find out what it was about. Eventually decided to ignore it unless virus apps started to scream about it.

i decided to grant it permission permanently since it pops up everyday, although i still have no idea what it does...

Same problems, any idea ?
Install SuperSU (update the su binary too) and wait for it to happen again. Then go into Logs and see what app called it
Well??? What called it?
I'm also facing this issue.
I'm rooted, unlocked bootloader, custom recovery (TWRP), STOCK rom.
I did not grant permission figuring this is some ploy by htc to check if their devices are rooted and perhaps unroot it? Is that even possible?
Has this happened with any other prior HTC devices? anyone have answer to this?

SuperUser Pro is required to use this feature
com.htc.resetnotify is a common one across multiple htc devices, based upon what I can glean from the forums. I just went ahead and blocked it though. If I didn't have the device rooted, it wouldn't ask me for root privileges, so I just denied it and it shouldn't make a difference vs a stock setup.

If you don't know what it is, the best approach/security is to deny permanently. Think of it like the key to your house. Are you going to give a stranger a key so he can come in and do whatever, whenever?
Had this issue today, too. After granting temporary su permissions to the process I could see a toast that it was setting Filesystem rights. Unfortunately I couldn't see what permissions were ser on what file.
After that I permanently denied su permissions for resetnotify but probably changing fs rights is permanent.

I just got this too. I've had the phone since Tuesday. Unlocked, recovery and rooted... but still on stock. I denied it too. Just wish I could find an answer as to what it actually is.
Would love to know what it is. I used to get regular requests from it but I might have granted it permanent su

TrickDroid ROM 5.3.0

I just had the same request and I have the same concerns as others on this thread.
Is it a 3rd party app that initiated it?
If it is an HTC call, then why?
This happened first on my HTC one that I've had for a week.
Tmobile M7, unlocked,, TWRP recovery, rooted, and stock Sense 5 for five days.
It is a HTC app letting you know that your device has had an reset/data wipe and I think it wants to help you restore your data or settings.
You saw this after you unlocked your bootloader which wiped your data right?
Same problem here as well. Didnt give it rights though.
Same problem here, and I denied. It popped every day.
My guess..

The first time I got this i assumed it was part of the "your phone has recovered from an abnormal reset send report to HTC" message that you get after rebooting from CWM. I imagine, if we didnt have root access it would just send the info to HTC with out asking for permission. I could be wrong, but it just seemed to make sense to me.
Happened to me a moment ago, denied it but now asking to "Setup the phone"...
This also happened to me just now, just after midnight local phone time. HTC One SV, newly (over 24hrs ago) rooted, stock HTC Sense.
I've looked in all apps and ResetNotify reports:
ResetNotify
version 2.10
Can be Force Closed
Cannot be Disabled
Show Notifications is ticked on and cannot be changed
Total 4.00KB
App 0.00B
USB Storage 0.00B
Data 4.00KB
Phone Storage 0.00B
Permissions:
System tools:
Prevent phone from sleeping
Run at startup
When it requested SU I hadn't rebooted my phone recently but I do recall having the "HTC phone home" messages after unlocking with CWM bootloader, but before rooting.
Obviously, I refused ResetNotify from having SU as it wasn't an app that I had manually started. No adverse affects as yet.

Root - Superuser crashes / gets terminated

Hello community,
I was a reader of the site for long time. So I decided to register here, because I have some troubles with my new rooted Xperia Z.
Unfortunately all apps with root permissions are working a bit strange. Root Checker and Root Explorer are working after several crashes of Superuser. By opening these apps, I always get a message prompt, that Superuser has been terminated.
SuperSU doesn't work and quits while trying to install the in-app update.
I also changed the owner and the chmod permissions for these apps, but nothing changed at all.
It seems to me, that something went wrong during the root procedure. I completely followed the guide written by DooMLoRD(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2186368). The only different part was, that the service menu opened automatically. After that, I fixed the NFC issue. Hopefully, I don't have to reset the device.
Firmware build: 10.1.A.1.434
Do you have any suggestions for me?
Thanks a lot!

Try re-rooting the device
I already did a second try. Nothing changed, I've only got the message, that superuser app has been already installed.
Or do you mean, I have to reset the device and re-reoot it?
Any more suggestions here?
Sorry guys, I'm not a fan of bumping this topic, but before I try it with a factory reset, does anybody has a suggestion on this problem?

[Q] Issue with Root Duration

Hey guys, I didn't see anyone ask this question explicitly but if it has been stickied somewhere and I just overlooked it I apologize.
Basically I've flashed several different root images using Mofo root and they work for the most part minus one small aspect. After some duration of time (I'm not sure exactly how long but maybe from an hour to a few hours), root apps will basically stop functioning. If I go into supersu, I just get a loading circle that never gets anywhere. I've tried force closing it and disabling/reenabling superuser but that hasn't worked. Some apps continue to function (Gravitybox custom tiles, WiFi Tether, Seeder) but others do not start up properly (TiBackup for example gets stuck at the loading screen where it says asking for root privileges and tasker secure setting profiles return an error). Only a hard reboot will properly restore root but then the same issue occurs where after a while I have to continue to hard reboot once root stops functioning.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Sorry I don't have a solution but I just wanted to bump this thread because I'm having the same issues as you. Wakelock detector also gets stuck on loading screen and supersu fails to open.

I also had the same issue. I am using the image with busy box and Xposed framework installed. After a an hour or so super user said that the binary was not installed, and most of my root apps stopped working. Root checker said my Turbo was not rooted, though gravity box and a few other Xposed modules continued to work. I rebooted the phone, but had the same problem. I turned notifications for the supersu app back on, and after about a minute it said the binary had to be updated, and I had root again. I'm not sure what is going on, but I will come back if I find anything
I'm not having any issues. I would reboot the phone into recovery and wipe the cache there. Hope that helps.
Glad I saw this thread...I'm having the exact same issue!
A hard reboot will solve the problem every time...but its quite annoying...
I'm going to try a factory reset and see if that helps
Clearing the cache seems to have solved this for me. I haven't lost root in a few days.
Seems to have resolved itself
I just wanted to mention that between clearing the cache and flashing a different rooted image this issue appears to have resolved itself.
I will update after some time to see if this fix maintains or if anything else pops up. Thanks for the suggestions!

What cache did you clear? I tried to clear the cache from the recovery, but my phone freezes and I have to reboot. Then I loose root a while later.

SuperSU Not saving settings

Hi
I have just rooted a S6 Edge running Nougat and installed SuperSU. Can someone please explain to me why when I make changes to SuperSU settings it all gets reset if I change the sim or even restart the device?
Its driving me insane!!!
Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong place.
Thanks
I just ran into the same problem with a Nexus 5x. Mine wouldn't even remember the settings after I closed the app. I went in to the settings and did the cleanup for reinstall and then​ installed again from the play store. It asked to install binaries, which was successful, and then it started remembering settings. Seems like an obvious thing to try first and maybe you already have but I hope it works out for you.
