[Q] SU Binary Updater to 3.1 fails when getting root

[HansiHusten]

Hey there,

when I open superuser and swipe to the Info page I see that my su binary is outdate. So I select update, tells me

new version = 3.1
installed version = 3.0.3.2

So i press the update button

[..]
new binary will be downloaded ... okay!
getting root-access... failed! (pop up comes and tells that superuser root access has been granted)

strange thing is all root access is working as expected (adfree, es file explorer, etc), uninstalled superuser, reinstalled it, tried again, no luck, booted a couple of times, no luck

Sure this update isnt really necessary but still I would like to update. On my GTab 10.1 it worked without a problem.

Searched xda forums for this bug and asked google, no luck.

Any hint for me?
Thanks

I read in one of the other forums that this is a problem with the 4.0.4 and above (jelly bean) versions. There is actually an updated version of the SU.zip in the androidcentral forum:

it is the fourth post, and the link it gives you is actually here in xda, but I´m at work and cannot log in android central. If you dont already have android central account, register and download it.
Reflash the SU.zip though ADB (as you did the first time you rooted) and the problem should be fixed.

I think you mean this posting:

There is currently a problem with the su.zip used in GSM GNex with 4.0.4, in order to make Superuser work properly, just instal [Only registered users can view links. ] (ClockworkMod flashable) and Viola! Problem fixed.

I found this su.zip on an other android forum but all are talking about flashing via CWM. Well I am on stock rom without CWM and I am not planing to install it just now before jelly bean comes out. Then I wont receive the OTA update etc.
Guess I will stay then with my current version (root access is indeed working) and wait for jelly bean and then will have a look again how to root when it has been discovered.
I thank you very much for your information, I am also sitting at work
