Default Phone says its not rooted: But dont remember unrooting it - FIXED

My phone has been rooted for a while now. I've tried various custom roms.

I recently did a format and installed Villainrom 2.0. When i try to use root apps such as mobileOdin or battery calbiration, it says the phone is not rooted.

When i go to superuser and try to update my SU binary it says the installed version is LEGACY.

when i try to update it, it gives me an error saying failed to find currently installed su binary. Update cannot continue.

Any help would be appreciated.
I'm trying to flash ICS using mobile odin (because odin doesn't detect my phone). But obviously need root access. Which i'm quite sure i have because my CWM is working fine.

Reflash Kernel first.
If also doesn't work, reflash rom or directly new rom ;)

CHEERS ;)
