Troubleshooting

Issues installing or upgrading from another Superuser or SuperSU? Try the recovery zip installation linked below.

Apps being denied? Disable the "Declared Permission" setting, and delete the "Deny" policies.

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

Apps not being remembered? Start the superuser app to make sure the su binary is up to date.

Features
* Multiuser support
* OPEN SOURCE (https://github.com/koush/Superuser)
* Pin protection
* Manifest permission support
* Per app configuration
* FREE
* Request timeout

Why another Superuser?

* Superuser should be open source. It's the gateway to root on your device. It must be open for independent security analysis. Obscurity (closed source) is not security.
* Superuser should be NDK buildable. No internal Android references.
* Superuser should also be AOSP buildable for those that want to embed it in their ROM.
* Superuser should also be AOSP embeddable, meaning a ROM can easily embed it into their Settings app.
* Maintenance and updates on both the market and source repositories should be timely.
* If something goes wrong, I can fix it.
* Handle multiuser (4.2+) properly
* Handle concurrent su requests properly

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

4 ★KOUSHIK IS A GOD! This is by far the best SU app with most of the pro features. Gets 4* only due to an update issue that can break a root. Would give 4 1/2 if I could. On that note. Install this SU, install its binaries, AND DISABLE PLAY STORE UPDATING for this app. "Fixed" my root nearly 2 dozen times until I noticed that it broke after play saw the binary install as a "downgrade" and attempted to "update" SU, breaking the root each time. Aside from this, BEST SU EVER!!!
2 ★I installed this app to upgrade from a previous superuser app. Whenever I open this app and try to update the supersu binary (using "recovery install"), the phone reboots and a message is displayed "signature verification failed, installation aborted." I wanted to give it 1star but I've heard really good reviews of this app from my friends who use it that's why I gave it 2stars .Will give it 5stars if this issue is fixed.
4 ★I tried on a fresh copy of vanilla 5.1 and it keeps complaining about the SU binary being out of date. I've tried downloading the ZIP and the APK and installing manually....but no luck. Worked for me on 5.0 :(
2 ★After installing on top of ChainsDD superuser app on my rooted Samsung Infuse, I'm getting the above message. I tried installing the zip via CWM recovery, but no difference. It actually gives an error (Step1) during installation.
4 ★I want to use this but it gives me problems with updating the binary. Should just work from the go like other SuperUser apps.
5 ★I have samsung galaxy nexus where I was running fine, then it's says your binary is out if date then I got 3 option install recovery and cancel so I got update file in zip and installed into root by robot and with recovery mode after that I am getting same message on every robot but it's work fine and it's up to dated why I am facing that message again an again
5 ★The only su permission app that I trust. Why are you trusting your root access with closed source app? You don't know what they might do with it. This, too, have the best interface of all.
1 ★Install The Superuser binary(su) must be updated Please choose an installation method Recovery mode installation is recommended for HTC devices. There was an error installing Superuser. Please send a log of the error to the developer.
1 ★Why not being updated, more functions should be added like app and data backup, etc 2 stars down, because of no answer from developer!!! No updates? Zero stars for you!
1 ★Wtf? I'm experiencing the same binary error as many other reviewers, and where is the developer response? Nothing is perfect, but the developer should be responsive to at least one of us.
3 ★It won't update binaries. I'm seeing a lot of people giving high regards to your app but having the same problem as me and your not doing getting back with anyone... 2 stars.
2 ★Does seem to work on Lollipop, at least didn't for me. Installed through TeamWin recovery just like I normally do.
