If you try and open it, that is all that will ever happen. To use the su app, all you need to do is open a root only app and it will ask you for permissions. When it does that, superuser is the app that is being used to gain permissions to run that app. (It just works in the background until you need it) Hope that helped!

I have the superuser problem. Even when i use CMD and the adb shell command, then type su right next to the $, i dont recive any kind of pop up or permission requirement.... I have downloaded some apps like busy box, and titanium back up. I dont get any kind of su permission, all it says it that i couldnt recieve root access?

How do i flash it? I know to reboot i open up cmd, type in adb reboot recovery. then what? Please help!

I am going to just throw my two cents into this thread even though it is fairly ancient at this point. You really do not need USB Debugging enabled for SuperUser to work. USB Debugging is really only needed for a select few apps, such as One-Click root apps, for example. The other purpose of it is, of course, to connect your device to your computer and run ADB with it.

I always leave USB Debugging turned off unless I explicitly need it for one of the above reasons and every root app that I have has always worked perfectly despite it being off. Leaving it turned on can be a slight security hazard if a malicious app has ADB root access. As for fixing SuperUser issues, I would try to download the SuperUser app from the Google Play Store again. Finally, make sure the SuperUser binaries are up to date within the app itself.
