First of all, I am rooted and S-On. Although, with my problem, I am essentially unrooted as superSU will not flash via TWRP. I get 'Unable to open zip file'. It isn't a problem with the zip as the MD5 is okay. When I try to open the superSU app, I get 'The SU binary needs to be updated' and it pretty much renders it useless as no apps can get root access until I update.
I am new to HTC devices but from what I understand, S-On shouldn't affect this right? I'm just not sure what could be causing it. Thanks

usually you can find that downloaded update under the /CacheFolder....
if by any chance you open that folder and you see nothing, then good.. that means the download OTA update was not successfuly saved to your phone. Just erase that folder and you should be good after that. (use Root Explorer to really view the file inside the folder).
Regarding stopping the popup updates, you can stop that by using a tasker app that force stop the 'Software update' process (from always popping on your phone.) Or the alternate way also would be to use Titanium backup and freeze the 'Software update' process.
Cheers!
you keep root in almost all ota cases

There is nothing to worry about root. You will retain root. Howevr if you get partial root after OTA update just download busybox from market and install it.
You can always avoid reminders about OTA using Titanium Backup. Select the OTA and freeze it. Gone for life till you have Titanium Backup installed. lol
Cheers!!!
Hey guys. I got my grouper yesterday, I'm hoping for a warm welcome
The first thing I did when I took it out of the box was fire it up, unlocked and rooted. When I rooted, I flashed SuperSU flashable. I also flashed CWM touch. After that I flashed SmoothROM 4.4, and I was solid. I installed all of my usual apps, then went to do what I call debloating, (Looking for apps I don't use such as voicedialer.apk, and deleting them) using root browser (/system/app). I noticed it wouldn't delete, then tried another app that requires root permissions. Nothing. I got suspicious, then re-downloaded root checker. "Sorry! You're device does not have proper root access!" What happened? Is this just me, or is this a widespread problem with this ROM? I'd like to keep this ROM if possible. Is there a way to re-root my device (more or less)? Thanks, a response or any help would be very much appreciated.

Rom specific questions need to be posted in that rom's thread. Do not start new threads about custom rom issues.

I am having same issue
This issue has been addressed; do a Verizon Nexus Forum search.
Uninstall supersu, reboot, then install the market version, not the flash able zip

So yesterday I decided to root my HTC one, after the 4.3 update.
After I unlocked the bootloader, I couldn't root using TWRP because the touchscreen wouldn't work when I booted to recovery. I figured out that I was using an old version TWRP, and once I updated TWRP it seemed like everything was going to work. Now I have SuperSU (updated to the newest version via app store) on my phone but when I try to open the app I get the following error
"There is no SU binary installed, and Super SU cannot install it. This is a problem!
If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device"
Uhhhh any ideas on how to fix this? This is the first time I have tried to root so I don't have alot of experience with this. I can't post in the Dev page because I previously had been a lurker and never really posted.
same problem
Same problem here.
I have T-Mobile HTC one that I convert to Google play edition.
After the update to 4.3 I lost the root.
Please help.

I'm not sure what you mean. I can boot into recovery and get into twrp, and now that I have the new version of TWRP it the screen will work. I'm not sure if that answers your questions or not.
hi. i have rooted my phone. now i received notification that update is available but after download it does not update because it says it is rooted.
i uninstalled root with super su but is still does not install
is there anyway to install updates without having to full format the phone?
Yes you can, follow this threadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2803479.
Download KDZ and flash it with that method.
I did it like that.
You will lose root access and boot will be relocked in the process.

After a while, I finaly could get root acces to my S5 g900a with base band NG3. Im trying to launch SuperSU and it says me to update binary code or number, something like that. When Is updating it, the app ask me for disable Samsung KNOX. After hitting "OK" it says me that it was impossible to disable.
I think thats why i cant use FlashFire to upgrade to Lollipop with an OTA. Can someone tell me how to do all of this? Thanx

I used titanium backup and uninstalled everything related to Knox without any issues, then I used flash fire to update to the pre rooted 5.0
