Help rooting after following XDA video - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

Question..............did you flash the root.zip file?
if not theres your problem, thats what gives you root access. if you have then you got an error in the rom if you flashed another over your original....hope your making nandroid backups lol
Solved
Hi,
Thanks everybody for your replys. I could fix the problem by upgrading my SuperUser app.
In su app, i was getting a notification that su binary is out of date and when i used to hit the option to update the su binary from SU app settings, it used to fail.
The thing I did was to install SU again from Market and it worked.
Though i am not sure what exactly the problem was.

[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 with HTC One root problem

Hi Dears

Must be downloaded from here and flashed from recovery

Sorry use the link below. Somehow the one I posted was miles out of date.
Sent from my HTC O'ne-xus
Whenever that happens I just go into the Play Store and download SuperSU that usually fixes the problem for me, I prefer it over superuser anyways. Just an alternative.
guys
it is the same
I have downloaded it from the site above
flashed it from recovery, and now superSU says there is no su binary !!!

[Closed]Root failed - HTC One (Rogers)

Hey guys,
I'm having an issue with rooting my HTC - I followed all of the steps on multiple guides with no luck. Here's the breakdown:
I have successfully unlocked the bootloader
I have tried flashing both the TWRP and the CWM ROMs
I have used the http://androidsu.com/superuser/ site on my phone to get the Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip file
I tried installing said file using both TWRP and CWM, both did not work
When booting into the OS and running Root Checker, it says "Sorry! This device does not have proper root access."
In the youtube video linked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173863 many comments are from users describing the same issue I'm having, though searches on google and on the XDA forums have found nothing that has worked. At this point, I am not sure where to proceed.
Right now I am running Android Version 4.4.2 with HTC Sense version 5.5, and the HTC SDK API level is 5.68. I suspect that my android version is the problem, but before I go delving into how to downgrade, I wanted to check to see if anyone has any advice. Hopefully someone has come across this before, but if not, at least there'll be a searchable record of the problem for other users.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone is able to provide.

After the phone has TWRP/CWM successfully installed, there will be a SuperSU app installed on the phone. Just open that app and follow the procedures. That should successfully root your device. The zip which you've mentioned didn't work on my One either

Thanks for your response,
I just checked my phone, and I don't seem to have SuperSU installed, just the Superuser app that is from the .zip. Should I uninstall the .zip, and will that make the SuperSU app appear?
Edit: So, I just tried clearing the fastboot cache and reflashing CWM, after disabling Superuser to see if it would reinstall its own app, with no luck.
To clarify, there is no procedure that pops up in the Superuser app, so that's why I tried to get the ROM's app to load. I also cannot find a way to just uninstall the .zip, and I'm not about to go deleting files without guidance. Out of curiosity, when the zip didn't work for your One, what steps did you take?

That one didn't work, I suspect it's because I have another copy of Superuser on this phone, but I'm no expert. I'm going to try the SuperSU that mb_guy suggested, maybe a different SU program will help. thanks for sticking with this. XD
this one worked, thanks so much!
it's weird, no matter how many times and ways I searched for SuperSU on google, I wouldn't ever get a link to the actual file. Maybe I just didn't put in the right keywords. Anyways, thanks for your assistance, and thanks to raghav kapur as well.
To anyone else having this problem: mb_guy's file worked for me, however it may not be the same for everybody. If you followed the XDA forum guide I linked in the OP, then chances are this fix will work, but if you followed any other guide, it may be worth it to give raghav kapur's .zip a try to see if that fixes it for you.

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.
