I am on ARHD 10.1, it keeps telling me there is a SU Binary update but if I tell it to install it just reboots to recovery and does nothing.
What is the correct method to update the Binary on the One?
Which Super User you have?

I am having this same issue: I have SuperSU. I just finished unlocking bootloader and flashing TWRP. Everything else remains stock.
I get a "The SU binary needs to be updated. Contine?". When i continue i get "If you have custom recovery like TWRP or CWM, that can be used to (try to) install the SU Binary. This is recommended for HTC devices. How would you like to install the SU Binary?"
When i select use TWRP/CWM it boots into recovery but i have no binary file (or i don't know where to find it). if i try the normal way it doesn't work.
(Cancel that!) it worked on the third try ... ? not sure what was different but it rebooted into recovery and updated fine. That inadvertently, it seems, fixed my wifi tether problem as well.
Emh, however...
Here there is the flashable zip of SuperSU...
same problem here but with Superuser, not SuperSu.
it tells me to update the binary but when i click "recovery" it reboots into twrp and nothing happens

Download the zip for superuser or flash the SuperSU
I'm also having an issue with the update, although i've managed to install v1.75 of SuperSU through TWRM, but now the handset force reboots about 10-15 seconds after booting up, every time. Any ideas?

When you are into twrp.
You go to the path /data/data/com.koushikdutta.superuser/files
There is a supersuer.zip, you flash these file and you have the su updated

Can anyone shed any light on this? I ended up factory resetting the handset just so it was usable, so had a fresh rom installed, and now ive tried to update the binaries again, its still happening. Constant reboot loop, from the time the OS loads to reboot is ~20 seconds.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I am also stuck on this. Have just changed to ViperRom from Android Revolution and now when I try to back up using Titanium it states I am not rooted. Go into SuperSU and it states the binary SU needs to be updated. I am not getting a boot loop and I have followed all the steps but am not getting anywhere. Am I going to have to re-root?
Have got it working. Researched the problem seemed to be an an app called one tap cleaner. I granted it root access which what was causing the problem. Stopped giving it root access and went into TWRP and deleted all the SuperSU file and reinstalled SuperSU and all is good. Posted incase anyone else was having a similar issue.
I had the same issue. I tried it with the phone plugged into a charger and somehow that made it work.
I was having all the same problems with supersu. Once I had it plugged in and charging the install worked throught "normal" and my tether problem was fixed.:good:

Using the newest SuperSU ( not Superuser ) solve this problem for me.
Flash SuperSU using Recovery
Plugged In
Plugged In to charger and it worked, weird...but I'll take it

Strange.
If recovery will say installation aborted there is also a code error.
However, have you flashed latest, right?

I dont know. I used Kingo App. Sometimes I also get this response: There is no SU binary installed. SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!
I rooted my htc one a few months back with twrp and superuser. I was in way over my head when I did it but somehow I successfully completed the process. I attempted today to get the 4.3 update installed and somehow ended up wiping everything. My only options are the twrp recovery menu or bootloader. In twrp recovery it says that I have no OS installed.
I have a folder on my desktop from the rooting process but it's been so many months that I don't remember anything about that. I don't know what steps to take next. I've been reading threads for hours now and it's just overwhelming.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi everyone!
This morning I woke up to find my SHIELD with the so waited notification of Lollipop update. I'm really happy to finally have lollipop running on my device, but sadly I found a problem after the update. I was trying to re-root my device, but neither the SHIELD RAM tool or Root Genius could do the trick. But I didn't gave up, I searched in Google any way to root my SHIELD with the still fresh update, and found that the Kinguser app can root it without trouble.
You just need to download the apk, install it on your SHIELD and open it.
Btw, the old recovery isn't working anymore, you can flash it with the RAM tool, but the device will reflash the stock recovery.
twrp works, but SU binary still wont flash :/
edit - the combination of this APK and TWRP gave me all I need for root + rebooting and keeping root
Yeah, I was about to say that. The TWRP recovery works like a charm, but Supersu binary won't install. But well, the KingRoot app is pretty good.
I can confirm some problem with supersu and update 103. I flashed 2.46 and my portable wouldn't boot. Like, something broke so bad I had to reflash 101 and update again. The later might indicate backups are broke in my twrp, I'll have to look into that. For now, I'm going try kingroot as suggested here and continue other development.

So you were successful in getting TWRP installed, SuperSU installed and removing KingRoot clean - leaving only SuperSU on the system, surviving a reboot?

hey wolf, what is the easiest way to flash twrp with the 103 upgrade? thanks
You might wanna include the instructions as shown here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...how-to-root-lollipop-xperia-tablet-z-t3115107
It basically tells you how to install SuperSU and remove the entire KingRoot library after that. It worked on my Z and on my SHIELD as well.
This was essentially what I did:
http://greenrobotgamer.com/shieldzone/root-shield-portable-lollipop-5-1/
Mine seems to be working just fine, after obtaining root and installing SuperSU. I didn't bother with installing TWRP, I just hotboot the recovery. I'm rebooting my SHIELD as we speak, see if there's any issue
EDIT: Scractch that, it's not booting. How do I flash the latest image back in?

Boot the SHIELD in fastboot and connect it to your pc, then open a command window in a folder with the adb files and the recovery image and type: fastboot flash recovery -the name of the recover-.img, and it will flash the recovery. You can do that with the stock too.

You need to unlock your bootloader first.
ok long story short: since i had the shield drivers installed and tha adb drivers installed i did the oem unlock and after a confirmation screen on the shield i did it, then i immediately flashed the twrp image from the same command line. now the shield is stuck in nvidia android boot logo. any suggestions? thanks
I am in fact stuck in the boot as well. Anyone's got stock image we can flash?
nevermind, after like 10 minutes the thing just booted fine, these are the perks of being a newb.

Search for the SHIELD RAM Tool, it have everything that you all need to flash recovery or old firmware to unbrick the device. It also comes with the necessary files and drivers to work ADB Fastboot.

I just re-flashed the system using RAM, should be fine now. I'll just have wait for the OTA all over again. UGH.
I wish someone could provide a KitKat version tho.
EDIT: Annnd battery's at 15% so the system won't let me OTA yet.
SuperSU will work fine with my latest TWRP builds posted here. The older 2.8.5.0 builds will not work, neither will any build in the linked thread before yesterday. I used SuperSU 2.49 Beta and it worked as expected.
Side Note: The older builds will have the problem where boot will just hang. That seems to be because the older builds didn't have selinux policies built in, so some things never get set up right and the boot panics.
I'm having an issue rooting my Nexus 6. I rooted it easily enough a couple months ago with the NRT. I recently used the Flash stock + Unroot options to upgrade to 6.01. However, when I tried rooting it again I ran into problems. I plugged it up, selected the root option, it tested ADB connectivity, booted into TWRP and that's when I ran into an issue. It told me then that ADB device was not found. I rebooted my phone and though I can boot into it, I now get a "your phone is corrupt" message when I turn it on. I tried again and has the same issue.
I followed the instructions it gave me about checking my drivers and they're fine. Anyone have any idea what's going on and how I can get around it? Also help removing the "your phone is corrupt message"would be cool too, but it's not a priority since it seems harmless and I'm sure I could find it easily enough with a little Googling, the other problem I have not been able to find an answer to though.

because google put it there, it is new.
It was rooted with an older version of su. You probably said yes when twrp asked if you wanted to root it. Flash it back to stock, if you use nrt again select the no wipe option to save your data. And make sure your net is current. If you do it by hand skip the user partition.
When you root it male sure you use a newer su. 2.67 is the current version I believe.

Yeah I let twrp root it when it asked when I did it two months ago. Was that a bad thing? I thought I read that it was if you were rooting 6.0.1, but I was rooting 6.0 so I decided to see what would happen, and it went smoothly.
That is what is causing the corrupted message. It was an old version of su and it modified the system.

I see. Makes sense. Alright, thanks. I already did flash it back to stock to update to 6.0.1, so I'm not sure why you told me to flash it back to stock and then install su 2.67.
I am also having this problem. Twrp will not let me flash a kernel or SuperSU. I went back to stock recovery and tried to root using cf auto root. But no luck. Phone runs fine, I upgraded to 6.01 with adb and did not flash user data. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

flash twrp again, pick the kernel and SuperSU, then flash in twrp. if you can't pick them, make sure that twrp is mounted. and you DID NOT use adb to boot 6.0.1, you used fastboot, that is different than adb.

I kept it in read only, installed SuperSU 2.67 in twrp.
Today, after i installed the latest OOS 5.0.1 with Android O 8.0, i decided to root my device.
After successfully unlocking the bootloader, i flashed the TWRP Recovery and flashed the SuperSU zip, i was stuck on the 1+ Boot logo. I tried fixing the contents through advanced options of TWRP recovery and still no luck. I also tried wiping my cache, data, dalvik etc...
So far i tried:
Installed stock recovery via fastboot, then adb sideload. My device was recognized when typing ADB Devices but when i tried to adb sideload ota.zip i got the cannot read *...zip* error. Then i tried everything i could find, my devices are installed correctly, i also tried the Large Address Awarness program and still no luck.
Then i flashed TWRP again through fastboot and try to do the same through TWRP's sideload. Still no luck
Then i tried to adb push the ota.zip so i can install it manually through TWRP recovery.. still no luck
I ran out of ideas.... What can i do?
Thanks in advance
First of all, why didn't you make a TWRP backup of the stock ROM before trying to root? This is best practice before trying any mods (root, flashing ROMs) for reasons which are probably now obvious. I'm always surprised at how many folks skip this step.
Maybe you planned ahead of time to use the stock recovery image, if you had to. But since it wasn't on the phone when you need it, you're running into the problem of getting it on there now.

What version TWRP, and what version SuperSU?
Honestly, I would recommend Magisk for root, over SuperSU. I've seen a number of folks have problems with recent version SuperSU on this device. And Magisk has a lot of really cool, useful features. I'm normally not one to recommend one method over another. Especially since SuperSU was so tried and true for so long. But at this point, I see no benefit of using SuperSU, but many benefits to Magisk. And seemingly less problems rooting with Magisk. My recommendation would be current version Magisk, which is v16.0.

First of all, make sure you are using the "full" update zip (which will be >1 GB) and not the partial OTA "patch". You can get the full zip from here (Post #2): https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/official-oxygenos-5-0-1-android-8-0-t3728119
Since you have TWRP installed, boot into TWRP. You should be able to see your internal storage on your computer, just like it's a thumb drive. Just drag/copy and drop the full OTA zip onto the phone's internal storage. Then just flash the zip in TWRP.
The internal storage should be selected to "Mount" in TWRP by default. But if you can't see internal storage on your computer, make sure it's selected in the TWRP "Mount" section.

You can verify by booting to TWRP. It says version number on the splash screen.

Yeah i have read about Magisk i just didnt investigate enough to know exactly what it is was so i thought it would be better to go for SuperSU because thats what i used on every android device i has... my bad aswell here
About the full update zip.. i’ll try that because i think i was trying to sidelod the ota patch which was 1.6gb...(but still, is the “cannot read xxx.zip” related with what zip file do i sideload? Whatever ill try it when i get home

TWRP and root shouldn't normally trip DM-verity (make the phone not boot).
I don't think it will hurt anything at this point to restore the backup you made. You're already trying to flash stock recovery, anyway (which is not that different).
If the restore is successful (phone boots to OS), then just flash Magisk and be done with it!

I wouldn't say it's "your bad". Magisk is just a suggestion or recommendation. Some folks have had success with SuperSU. But also seems like a lot more folks than usual, having problems (like no boot) with SuperSU than I'm used to seeing. And as I mentioned, I don't see any benefit of SuperSU (over Magisk) at this point. I was slow to change as well. But after trying Magisk, there has been no going back for me since. So therefore, the suggestion.
You didn't mention what version SuperSU, but 2.82 SR5 is recommended. It's in beta now, so if you used the "stable" 2.82 version, that might be the problem right there.

If it was 1.6GB, than it was the full update (at least one of them). I typed ">1 GB" so any OTA zip for this device greater than 1 GB should be okay. It's the OTA zips that are less than 1 GB that you need to watch out for, as it is not a full update, just a partial "patch" (don't flash on a modded device with TWRP or you will soft brick!).
I don't personally use sideload. While I see the convenience, I find it a bit messy. I've seen folks have problems with sideload, when simply putting the ROM on the phone and flashing with TWRP works fine (so in those cases sideload itself was the point of failure).
Now of course, getting the ROM on the phone is the problem, in your case.

Coming to Cyprus soon bro!
About your issue, use TWRP bluespark 8.61, just to be sure.
Never had issues with this version.

TWRP and root shouldn't normally trip DM-verity (make the phone not boot).
I don't think it will hurt anything at this point to restore the backup you made. You're already trying to flash stock recovery, anyway (which is not that different).
If the restore is successful (phone boots to OS), then just flash Magisk and be done with it!
I wouldn't say it's "your bad". Magisk is just a suggestion or recommendation. Some folks have had success with SuperSU. But also seems like a lot more folks than usual, having problems (like no boot) with SuperSU than I'm used to seeing. And as I mentioned, I don't see any benefit of SuperSU (over Magisk) at this point. I was slow to change as well. But after trying Magisk, there has been no going back for me since. So therefore, the suggestion.
You didn't mention what version SuperSU, but 2.82 SR5 is recommended. It's in beta now, so if you used the "stable" 2.82 version, that might be the problem right there.

If posting on a thread, related to your issue; it would make sense to actually read the responses in the thread. Since your question is already answered.
In short, you need to use SuperSU 2.82 SR5. The "stable" version 2.82 won't work, and will result in no boot. Or use Magisk 16.0.
If the phone still won't boot after (only) flashing the proper version SuperSU or Magisk; then flash the full stock update file using TWRP. Then flash the right version SuperSU or Magisk.
