Try re-flash SuperSu or download [2014.05.18] SuperSU v1.97 from here. While you are on the site read some of later post to see if someone has had a similar issue. It sounds like it just didn't install properly.

Unlocked bootloader but ROOT doesn't work? Help please!

I really don't know where I went wrong. I recently lost my Nexus 4 and decided to try an HTC One. I've rooted before with my N4 but yet I'm having problems this time.
Unlocked bootloader fine, TWRP installed perfectly fine... Downloaded the SuperUser from AndroidSU.com and installed it through my phones main screen. Then downloaded root checker but it says I'm not rooted... So I wiped my phone, installed the SU via TWRP instead and still the same problem.
Does anyone have any idea what I'm missing? I don't want to fully set up my phone until it's rooted and I pick my new ROM.
Thanks

Boot into twrp, Click "reboot' then click "system" It will then say "swipe to fix root" do that, as soon as the phone boots up, pull down the status bar and click the supersu installer, it will ask you how you want to install it, click the "play" option. after it installs, open up "supersu" if it asks to update the binary, say yes and choose the "normal" install. then you can run root checker and it should say your ooted, remeber to "Grant" when the popup comes up asking you for super user permission....
If your plan is to install a custom Rom anyways, just skip rooting. Most custom roms are rooted already.

Swipe to fix root doesn't show up. Just reboots automatically. Superuser won't even unistall now. Every time I wipe and restart it's still there. I don't understand how it's even there but yet I don't have root access... .
Too the other guy, you're saying I can just skip this bull**** and download CM or any other ROM and it won't mess up my phone for not having proper root?
Recoveries have root access, that's how they can edit /system. If you just flash your Rom like normal it will be rooted, provided that it's a Rom that's already rooted. Which 90% of them are. What you're trying to do now is root the stock Rom, which really doesn't make sense if you're just gonna install a Rom that's already rooted anyway.

[Q] Error message when accessing SuperSU

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.

Help rooting after following XDA video

I followed the XDA rooting video for my HTC M7 (4.4.2). Nothing showed errors and everything went well until I used a root check app. They reported I wasn't rooted.
I tried weaksauce but it reported I was rooted.
I went ahead and installed xposed framework. Tried to update and it said I wasn't rooted.
I unlocked my bootloader.
I flashed cwm.
I put the su 3.1.2 zip on my phone and went into cwm and installed from the zip file. No errors etc.
Restarted my phone and SU app is there.
But I don't have any root. Tried pressing the build number in phone settings to unlock developer settings - there's nothing mentioning root in there like one site said there would be.
Now I am stuck.... can someone help please?

Difficulty Rooting Newest RUU

Hello everyone,
I'm having an issue - I wasn't able to flash the newest extracted firmware in the development section so I went ahead and just ran the full RUU. I've been running custom roms for years and I decided that maybe I just wanted to run stock rooted for a while so I unlocked my bootloader again, flashed the most recent TWRP and installed the most recent SuperSU zip.
Unfortunately it does not seem to have rooted my phone. SuperSU is indeed installed in the system folder and it prompts for root permission when I use root apps, but even when I grant permission the apps cannot obtain root access. What happens is it looks like they are going to get root access, the phone slows down a bit for a second, and then I get an error message from the app in question saying that either my phone isn't rooted or that root permission has been denied. If I open SuperSU, it lists all of my root apps with the green hashtag indicating that permission is granted.
Am I correct in assuming that installing SuperSU did not root my phone? If so, is there a way to root without installing a custom rom?
For clarification, this is all on the most recent RUU, software version 6.23.651..10, Lollipop 5.0.2
Thanks in advance.
Which version of SuperSU are you flashing?

Well I'm a dolt, I was using v1.69 but now I see that is a very old version. Going to try 2.46 right now, thanks.
Edit: Same issue on 2.46 :/
For anyone still looking at this thread, I was able to achieve root by flashing the newest SuperSU, version 2.52 which is actually still in beta and therefore not offered if you go to the main portion of the SuperSU website.
SuperSU v2.65 is the current stable offering
