Hello.
Using stock rom tried to root the device using towelroot, and it says it should now be rooted
I downloaded supersu and it said: "su binary not found". tried with super user and same problem.
any ideas?

Here's one way to root our phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-610/general/info-htcdev-unlock-root-t2844323
I never heard of anyone using towelroot for this phone and don't think it works. You need to unlock bootloader first (its in the guide)

First you must unlock bootloader by HTCdev, than flash twrp recovery and root your phone
How It worked for Me
I unlocked my bootloader and gained S-off with the sunshine installer, then rooted with towelroot and then updated with supersu installer and everything works great for me

I was rooted on 2.08 and decided to relock and upgrade to 2.17 OTA. I was able to unlock again and install TWRP custom recovery. I flashed Superuser.zip (3.07) from recovery. But it seems I still don't have root access. Not of the rooted apps work. Tried installing busybox from app on the market but says don't have root. Trying to update binary from Superuser app fails. How do I get root access at this point. Should I flash an older Superuser. Thanks.
Did you flash a rooted ROM? If not, that is likely your problem.

I'm on stock ROM right now. I flashed a different version of superuser which worked. That was my problem. I have root access now.
I was rooted prior to the OTA. Relocked my phone and did a stock recovery. Acquired the update, now I'm trying to re-root and not having any luck. I've successfully unlocked again, flashed amon ra, and installed su in recovery. However when I check for root access or try and use titanium backup it's unable to acquire root access. I've updated to the newest SU and still no dice. Any ideas as to what I'm missing? Thanks for any input.

The su that Amon Ra installs is outdated and doesn't work. You could do one of two things:
1. Flash a rom(all roms have su) or
2. Go to the superuser website and find the latest binary.

Thanks very much that did the trick!
Hi,
I have already rooted and can get into ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.3.4.
When I try to install Superuser, I get an message saying "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
I went to the market and downloaded Root Checker. It came up with a message that says "This device does not have proper root access."
How is it that I can get into ClockwrokMod Recovery if Root Checker says I'm not rooted?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

] PLEASE HELP!!Su binary not installed and SuperSu cannot install it.
I have Xperia U awhich i had rooted with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 withouth unlocking the bootloader.
Recently my phone failed to start at the screen got stucked on the Xperia logo so i had to repair the installation by updating the phone with ICS from update service.
After that my phone seems to be half rooted, it installs the root apps like SuperSu , busybox but it has lost the su binary files.
The SuperSu gives the error 'Su binary not installed and SuperSu cannot install it'. I know this is a common problem i searched a lot on it and the best solution i fiund was to flash the SuperSu zip file from Clockwork Mod recovery.
But i dont have CWM as i didnt unlock my bootloader while rooting and i tried to install it but it didnt get installed as there was no su binary.
I cant un-root my phone i cant re-root it. I have tried everything but nothing works.
Is there no way i can have root access again?
you will stuck at the boot image cause u need to unlock boot loader, for the root, you need to aware that the ICS 4.0.1.a.0.283 easier to root but 4.0.1.b.0.112 and above most root software cant do the root, u better install those rom to root, and after you root, just install x-part and u will install the CWM easily through the apps, hope is help for you

Sorry i cant understand what you are trying to say. My problem is i am already rooted and i can install SuperSu but it gives error that su binary is not installed. I tried to unroot and re-root from 'Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18' but the process gets stuck midway and nothing changes.
The only possible solution i found to install su binary was from CWM but i dont have cwm and there is no way to install cwm without supersu permission.
Is there any other way to install su binary?
Or is there any other way to install cwm without it needing su binary?

It gets stuck at the reboot stage. It doesn't reboot the phone when i restore the Root Me file.
When i rebooted it manually after waiting for a long time, it corrupted my phone with icons turning black and phone slowing down. So i had to repair the insatllation again with update service.
If i re-root it with some other method or maybe with 'Bin4ry v31', do you think it will work?
.
Please help! Anyone?
I have used the naked drivers to unlock the bootloader, and then used the newest king root apk to root it, but it says it's already rooted, so i downloaded supersu and foldermount, but supersu says there ain't no su binary installed, and foldermount is stuck on refreshing "checking for root" constantly.
Have i done something wrong here?
Yes, 1. NEVER root with king root 2. Post your questions in the correct forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
Flash a custom recovery and then flash the latest SuperSU update.zip.
