Has anyone here updated the Superuser app to the latest version on the market? For some phones it appears to be problematic. What about the Ace?
 
I did it and the logs stopped working and rooted apps didnt show in the list.

also the layout seemed broken so I uninstalled the update.
 
Guys yesterday a made an update of the zip file now integrated Superuser v3.0.7 and su binary v3.0.3.2 and BusyBox v1.19.3

You have been warned in your previous post. Now you have damaged your boot loader. Try to update your phone via odin with stock ROM if you can get in download mode. But first you need to enter recovery mode to wipe cache patition and wipe data/factory reset and after that put your phone in download mode and flash via odin. You have bricked your phone using the unroot method with already installed CWM that is depended from root. If you can't get into recovery or download mode then take it to the service you might get lucky to replace your phone if is under warranty. If not then find the nearest Private Mobile Service using RIFF JTAG Box or Medusa Box repair.
