Hello everyone! Last night I used Sunshine to unlock/s-off to root/unlock my phone. this morning i tried to install SuperSU, but got a message stating that the binary wasn't installed and SuperSU couldn't install it. I have done some searching on this, have tried to uninstall/reboot/reinstall SU, but each time I get the same error message. Iinstalled TWRP, but since I dont have super user access, it just closes, and because the binary isnt installed for SU, it just closes as well.
So, what I am trying to figure out is how to get superuser installed so twrp works, and i so i can on my merry flashing way. Any help you guys can give would be great!
Thanks

Actually nevermind.....i'm going to continuing reading through the phone book of replies on the supersu 2.13 thread. This can be closed for now.
You don't need root for a custom recovery on this device .
You unlock bootlooader 1st,custom recovery 2nd, install SuperSU.zip using custom recovery,3rd is cause you need superuser to gain S-OFF with Sunshine.

Not true...Sunshine does not require any of those.
When you run the apk from the website it ask for root permission. I'm S-OFF from using Sunshine
Edit : your right thank you for correcting me

NP good luck with Rumrunner
Hello!
Already got iHackers 2.0 + .290-kernel running (complete installed system) on rooted Z1 (C6903)!
Wanted to grant some apps SuperSu-permission and wanted to check within SuperSu which apps already got granted SuperSu-permissions. SuperSu showed up a message: binary must be updated! So I checked update normal way but install/download failed!
So I've searched www and found that someone mentioned to another guy (got same problem) to download Chainfire 1.51-flashable-SuperSu and this guy mentioned: flash in recovery and do update later on!
I tried and now ROOT HAS GONE!
Is it possible to use KingoRoot now again to get Root-permission back without loosing something (data, dual-recovery, xposed-stuff which is already installed, ...)?
How am i able to get binary for SuperSu up-2-date?
Thanks,
DES75

I got the pro version of SuperSu which fixed that binary problem for me.. As always make a back up of everything just in case. As far as I'm aware you do not have to factory reset or wipe data to root with KingoRoot.
Try it, otherwise I'd personally just go through the procedure again (and wipe data if needed) to get the root back. If you make a back up, it won't be a problem. Just a little time.
Hi!
Do have Pro-Version, too, but SU-Binary will not be updated! So I do need a way to get that SU-Binary updated without loosing Root, ...!
Thx,

Strange, I had exactly the same message. Firstly have you got Busybox Installed? Try installing this then updating again.
I'm researching it, a lot of other threads saying you may need to reroot to get it working, but try the above first.

Hey guys, kind of new at this but i have an AT&T HTC One thats rooted with SuperUser on it. It has twrp Recovery on it but its S-On. I got an update for SuperUser through the playstore a couple days ago and it seemed as if it updated but when ever i go into the app it says that i need to Update the SuperUser binary (su) and it recommends that i do so through Recovery mode. I have no idea how to go about this so any Links or steps on how to do so would be greatly appreciated.
-Thanks!

Thanks from me too, had the same question!
Hey all,
I have a HTC one M7, i had to recently send it off for repair due to battery and camera issues. It has now returned fixed... but updated.
It has S-ON and the latest hboot (1.66???) and from what i've read, is not possible to get S-off at this time unless paying for a service online.
I have rooted it using DEVunlock, flashed a custom recovery and ROM but im finding it soo very hard to do anything with 'root access' for example, game killer need root access and when granted, says "root privelege is needed" although superSU has granted it access, Amplify a battery app needs root and cannot obtain it even it has been granted and Xposed installer cannot install without manual recover (which seems to goto recovery and do nothing...)
From what i can understand, i do have root i think? but why can't i install any apps that require root? is it due to it being S-ON?
what can i do? really not sure what to search for and whats its called

Download Root Checker from Play Store to check to see if you are properly rooted. If not, then re-install your custom recovery (TWRP includes root). What I generally do is install SuperSU right after I install TWRP.

You can have root access and S-ON at the same time. So, it is not S-ON. Update SuperSU and see if it does not fix the issue. If not, you might want to install Busybox you can get if from the Play Store as well.

Thank you for your replys!, the only reason i mention about S-ON is because ive been through this trouble before, i just cant remember what i did to fix it, i think it was due to it being a HTC my friend said, hence why i have a feeling it could be due to S-ON locking me out of certain parts of the phone.
I think i have the latest SuperSU v2.46, i installed busybox which also made no difference, still dont have access to lots of stuff...

If you have SuperSU installed and you can open it from the app drawer and the same with BusyBox then you have root. It might be the programs you are trying to run are not compatible with your phone or OS version. If that is the case then if you are S-ON or S-OFF it will not make a difference.
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
