[Q] help - no su binary installed?

i have previously unlocked bootloader and rooted my device using the Hasoons all in one tool kit and then had been using ard 12.1.
I then fancied trying the latest GE 4.3 release (stock) which i downloaded and flashed and all seemed fine however when i went to check root was still there i have the icon but get a message saying that there is no su binary installed. I have tried to use the toolkit again to go back the root procedure in the hope i can re-install what ever is missing however for some reason now the tool kit comes up with an error message in the box saying waiting for device or device not recognized.
I have tried to sort the problem but now feel i am just going round and around in circles and really dont have the knowledge to put it right as im quite new to the flashing and modding side and dont fully understand all the terminology, im sure its probably something really simple to fix for those who know how so would really appreciate some advice.
My overall aim would be to be running the stock rom (or might even try the new arhd 4.3 ge) with root so that i can then use the volume + to wake mod as i find this really usefull as my power button is quite depressed and hard to use.

hello you are in need of the new 4.3 superuser.zip
http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/superuser-4.3-beta3.zip
if you are using CWM, when it asks to fix su upon reboot, select NO

Wow thank you!!!!!
You have no clue, or maybe you do, how lost I got trying to root my HTC One. This is all new to me, but this forum has helped massively. I found that the supersu zip I had was the older version when I already had 4.3 uploaded before rooting. This community rocks!

why do my gapps processes keep crashing?
NM forgot to full wipe

So I have the same issue - my only question is that I am running 4.4 now. Does this super user file still work or is there a 4.4 version?

Just use "SuperSu" if you face any root acces issues

Hi there, Im new to the rooting world, I have a htc one m7 from sprint trying to sim unlock it, as far as I know I unlocked the bootloader, tampered it, and rooted, but no access to super user so I can sim unlock it. I downloaded and installed this App that you mention, but still keeps saying no binary updated, and with this 4.3 version says there was an error installing superuser. Please help, I dont know what to do.

I was having this same issue on my Note 2 (4.3). I seem to have found a way to restore root that may help you as well.
I think this issue may be caused by the SU app & binary updates. Uninstalling the updates has restored root for me.
Go to:
​Settings > More > Application Manager > All > SuperSU > Uninstall updates
​(menu options may be slightly different on other devices)
This will roll back SuperSU and hopefully restore your root access.
Let me know if this helps.

Any updates on this? I'm trying to get root on an HTC One M7 that I just purchased and I'm running into the same error.
Thanks!

[Q] Upgraded to .244 and never lost root?

This isn't an issue, but I thought it was odd and I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this?
I got the OTA to upgrade my 6602 to .244 firmware (only 45.1 MB) so I bit the bullet and upgraded after reading DooMLoRD's method of rooting .244. I started Flashtool and plugged in my phone to start the whole process, only to see my phone screen show the SU message asking if I wanted to grant access. I'm looking under About phone and it says "Your device already has the latest available system updates" and the Build number is 10.3.1.A.0.244. Titanium works and SU says I have several apps that have SU access.
I'm certainly not complaining, but I thought the .244 upgrade broke root? Or am I completely missing something here?

when upgrading by OTA, keeping root is normal. you loose the root when upgrading with PC comp for example.

[Q] Update Broke Root, Note 3 is now not rooted, but root is installed

So, the situation is a bit weird. About a week and a half ago, some update came out for my AT&T Note 3, and after declining, later it forced me to install it. After installing, it seemed to have disabled root, but I still had the custom icon show up when it booted, and root functions were disabled. It was as if root was not uninstalled, but disabled. I've tried re-rooting the normal way, but that gives a fail when I try to use the OneClickBin application. I haven't tried skipping that and installing root for fear of bricking the phone on some incompatibility. If someone else has this problem or has solved it, please let me know what you did or give any advice you can. The ideal result would be for my phone to end up back in the stock firmware, updated and ready to root as if nothing was wrong. I'd also appreciate it if anyone can give me info on the update that broke it, so I can check for a root method which is compatible with it. Thanks in advance.

You got the update to MJ5, try using Kingo Root.

I'm noticing that Kingo Root's version page does not list the SM-N900A model. We're sure it's supported, right?

Yup! I used it on mj5 update

Thanks, that worked.

Is rooting really that good?

I rooted my phone a week ago, I kept with the stock Rom for a few days, then installed a Renovate sense 6 Rom which seemed to work well. I had SuperSU installed, plus a few other apps, but then all of a sudden I got an error message when trying to open SuperSU saying the binary was missing, so I downloaded a root checker which said I wasn't fully rooted! After looking on the forums to find a solution I relocked my boot loader and unrooted the phone. Trying to find a stock RUU for my phone ( unlocked Europe version ) was a bloody nightmare. Also getting it to install on my phone was a pain, but probably more to do with my computer having a slow moment.
Is it really worth all the hassle when I can all go wrong in a couple of days ?
Don't think I'll be re routing again any time soon

Well it's like anything. If you don't know why you need something you probably don't need it

the phone never come unrooted .. you never had root installed properly
when it's flashed correctly from recovery it will not just go away
http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU
Flash that from recovery and you'll be rooted

I had SuperSU installed, everything was fine, anything I did with the phone worked. After a week it said the SU binaries were missing, and you couldn't get into SuperSU to do anything, but previously you could. If the phone was never rooted correctly like you say, i would have had this problem from the start.
Also after rooting I used a root checker which said I was rooted, but after this Su binary issue started, it said I wasn't rooted.
Still, I'm back to unrooted now, and the only reason I did it was to get Sense 6, which has since come out as an update, so I'm no worse off

This is a rom issue not a root issue. Could have also been an issue with the kernel. To be honest if you dont really use the root functions then there maybe no need for you to have it. To be honest most people dont really need root. They just wanna seem cool with some things they can show off on their device instead of using it for anything important or handy. I would advice to judge for yourself. Take the extra options/security risk and weigh it against remaining stock which has less options/secure.

I agree with the previous post, if you don't know what it is, you probably don't need it. As far as SuperSu disappearing, it sounds like either you didn't install it correctly or something changed. The ideal way to install SuperSu is to install via the recovery. And even so, if you reinstall your OS, you will need to reinstall SuperSu. Software does not simply disappear, something had to be done to hasten it's departure. An easy fix to your issue would have been to download the SuperSu zip package from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu, and install it via your recovery. What I personally don't like about locking a bootloader is that now it says TAMPERED at the top of the screen.

Your issues seem to be with the restoring to stock process which HTC do make a bit convoluted, triggered by the root error not rooting itself.
Now to answer your question: My main reason for rooting is I want to take fine grained backups. Second is lots of clever people have come up with mods and improvements I like to install over the stock Sense ROM.
If you don't need anything that needs root, no need to root. Simple as that.

if you want RUU search @ htc1guru.com with firmware/software version
flash same firmware again + flash custom recovery + flash SuperSu it will resolve your problem

[Fixed][Q] Is it possible to officially update to Lollipop on root ?

In the past, I have had updated a few times on root without facing a single problem, until yesterday, when I received the Lollipop update which weighs 776.73mb and stops updating in the very beginning before running into some error 0x11110000.
So, question is that is it possible to update ON ROOT ?
I know using SuperSU unroot one can't change the LG RCT check, but what's interesting is that after making a second attempt to update, IT STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN. I mean, downloading 776.73mb multiple times isn't going to reduce your data bills
Any ideas ?
Rooted. Stock ROM.
EDIT
Fixed it by performing a full 'unroot' inside of SuperSU and then using the LG PC Tool to update to Lollipop Well, I'm rather surprised that it worked when the same didn't work on the phone itself. So I'm guessing that the process used by the tool overrides all problems as long as the firmware remains stock.
Oh and I really didn't want to mess up that bad by taking the route suggested in that thread, @lfom, because I don't have an extra phone to fall back on, in case my current one fails to work

Modern SU tools also modify other system files, primarily to try to resist to updates... My bet that what is causing the problem is the same as this other thread (it offers a solution too):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44913304&postcount=8

Actually , i updated my phone with root using LG tool, after update i lost my root but all apps where there, which means there is no need for unroot os something like that.
