can't update su binary on JB 4.1.1 #55

Hi,

i'm running JB 4.1.1 (locked bootloader, always saved a backup copy of the su binary). su binary version is 3.0.3.2. I have some problems with the access granting lately: already added apps worked perfectly, but i cannot add new ones. I accidentally wiped all superusers data, and learned just afterwards that an update of the su binary should fix that problem.

But now, as there are no apps (that includes superuser itself) are listed as 'granted' and i can't add apps manually (can i?) i'm stuck :( Trying to update the su binary, results in 'Erlange root rechte.. Fehlschlag' (sth like getting root permission.. failed). I bet if the superuser app would be listed as 'root permission granted' the update would work. Is it possible to add the app manually?

[I'm currently on vacation and have limited access to the internet. So don't expect answers from me timely. Sorry.]

fixed this problem ;)

Being back at home i noticed, that i still can get root with the adb shell. From there i could update the su binary manually. Now my binary is 3.1.1 and everything works perfectly, thanks.
