I have just managed to successfully get SkyGo working on the Nexus 10 despite it not being on the compatibility list. It's a bit of a faff but it works.
1) Flash back to stock rom if not already
2) Flash Clockwork Recovery and flash the SU Binary for Root Access.
3) Flash back to Stock Recovery (not essential but needed for OTA updates).
4) Download DeviceSpoofer from the PlayStore and change your device to a compatible SkyGo one (I selected the Galaxy Nexus).
5) After device has been spoofed reboot and then go into the SuperSU app. Under settings select Full Unroot and reboot.
6) SkyGo will now appear in the PlayStore and works a treat!
Enjoy.
This works perfectly!
Thank you

This is the scenario that i have encountered during rooting my htc one XL for fun. But i have encountered a problem of SuperSU binary "installation failed" when trying to update the binary.
Here i am going to share the solution that have been tried out accidentically.
Premises:
Device : HTC One XL ( i think other device may also counter this problem too when they trying to root with the ZIp version SuperSU apk.
Device's bootloader is unlocked (HTC required, i dont think samsung need this step)
recovery mode Clockworkmod is installed (i think all devices need this mod in order to install apk in the sd_card)
SuperSU apk is installed in recovery mode by install app in the sd_card
Consequence:
The superSU is installed successfully in the phone, you can see the app located in the home screen.
When you try to click in the app, it prompt it requires to update some binary files of the phone. however it will just return "Installation Failed".
Your root access is not stable.
For example:
You might contain root access by using root browser (on google play)
But you couldn't "su" in the linux terminal emulator (on google play)
Also you couldn't "su" by using android shell in the android sdk tools's .adb shell
Solution:
Below is the steps i performed and it is worked.
Update the latest version SuperSU in the google play
Afterwards, it will prompt the binary update screen again
Choose the Txxx/CWB instead of Normal
My device cannot automatically boot up the recovery mode, thus i manually started the recovery mode
binary will be updated when you go in recovery mode
Importance Note:
Actually I am not success in point 5 (binary will be updated when you go in recovery mode).
It means that the binary doesn't update when SuperSU is still the latest version (updated on google store).
and if you have also encountered this circumstance. reboot in the phone again, in the latest version of SuperSU, selected update binary by Txxx/CWB, and then uninstall the latest version of SuperSU by normal apps uninstallation (you can never able to uninstall the old version SuperSU in the phone normally because its installed in the recovery mode).
Now you can boot into the Recovery mode, it will update the binary automatically, And you can grant the actual root access for your phone after reboot the phone again.
Do you think this will work for the Note 3 running 4.4.2 ? for some reason as of now on verizon note 3 there seems to be no fix for the supersu not updating binary on the new kitkat 4.4.2 im rooted using towelroot i let it update the binary once and i never opened it again to avoid it asking me to update again then failing ... so to avoid uninstall and reinstall i just let it do its magic once and never touch it again... it will update the first run but once you reboot .. youre f you also want to make sure you delete the file su in system/xbin/su then uninstall and install fresh to get this to update you binary .. but you can never open it again or it will ask to update and fail ... however all apps asking to grant permisson will be granted so apon screen pop up and your prompt to allow .... but i am however going to try this just dont know if i should choose the txxx/CWB as apose to normal
No Luck to me too.
I did what the top comment said but Super SU still says it needs to update binaries. I am using Version 2.65.
hi, i recived the 6.0 update OTA today
my phone was on 5.0.2, bootloader unlocked, supersu rooted
using supersu option i removed the root, this to be able to install OTA (leaving supersu result in "update error")
updated to 6.0 succesfully
downloaded lastest stable supersu v2.65
downloaded twrp-surnia-3.0.2-r1
booted twrp without flashing (i don't want to install twrp) do this way in 5.0 and 5.0.2 adn worked
flashed supersu
phone stay at "warning screen"
to restore the phone i downoaded the 6.0 zip and flasched back the "sparsechunk.x" files
how to get the root back again in 6.0??
thanks.
exactly the same here, even with supesu 2.71 beta
You have to install the superSU v2.62-3 (it installs systemless mode) OR in the terminal of the TWRP enter "echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu" (without the quotes) and then flash the version you want, in order to force the systemless install. I still recommend just use v2.62-3.
Supersu zip v2.62-3 and try: http://download.chainfire.eu/751/Sup...1211162651.zip
thinks @basili
I finally managed
That worked for me too
how
thanks it worked fo rme too
simply install TWRP 3.0.2r1 then supersu.2.62.3
I have a question. I installed the SuperSU 2.62.3 like its recommended in post #3, but Google Play shows that there is an update. Can I update it safely now?
i have my bootloader unlocked and everything ive followed every detail and it said flashed recovery was successful but how do i access twrp im only getting stock recovery plz any advice will be greatly appreciated thx in advance for your help
I want to root my htc desire x and I more or less followed this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zdhyDky2MI and have so fare unlocked the bootloader.
At this moment I got twrp-2.6.0.0-protou.img installed.
https://twrp.me/devices/htcdesirex.html
I installed the latest version of supersu through twrp recovery. I did also give the install instructions on the twrp webpage a go but to no avail.

When i open supersu on the phone I get this error message (loosely translated from danish).
"no binary su program file installed and supersu cannot install one this is a problem"

I do not have root. When I install supersu with twrp recovery mode it delivers a successful message at the end of install however I see no text in the twrp terminal/console during the install of supersu.
I have android-tools installed on my distribution which delivers fastboot as well as ADB. I have not setup SDK and am wondering if that is coursing issues. Though I get no such error messages.
No need to mess yourself with SuperSU as it is included in the ROM. Pick a ROM of your choice (i.e. Vimiro) and install. I assume you are S-ON (look at the bootloader in top). If so, you need to pick the kernel out of the ROM (open the package with Winrar) and take out boot.img. Flash manually as you flashed TWRP: fastboot flash boot boot.img. Then install ROM-package.
I don't particularly want to install a custom ROM. Do I have to?
What I want to achieve is to be able to move or remove some of the bundled apps, e.g. chrome - in an effort to free up storage, to an ext formatted partition on the sd-card.

It is not especially needed but handy You discovered already the SuperSu thread, maybo the solution is over there? Sorry, can't help you on SU problems. If nothing helps give another ROM a try (after backup). Most of the ROM's have nice features (also with custom kernel) and a installer on which you can select apps to install or not.
Tried everything else for past 3 days, I cannot get Root access.
1) Bootloader unlocked
2) Activated Developer options
3) downloaded Su
4) Flashify or such other options don't work.
5) Also installed Minimum ADB & Fastboot, renamed recovery file, (and I believe so installed the TWRP).
Still can't get to the option of Install Recovery, Take Backup of Stock ROM or Data.
Tried Vol up + Power button, but there is no option to install (despite having SU in a memory card). The only options I get ( on a touch sensitive screen) are to test the phone on some criteria (technical terms I can''t remember) along with an option for Chinese.

If you are using Android up to version 5 use KingRoot for rooting, otherwise use Magisk.
Download Magisk manager.
Install it and download Magisk.zip. Boot to recovery and install Magisk from TWRP. Done!
How to install TWRP without Root
After struggling for hours trying to flash one of these boxes, I finally gave up and tried something... Flashing with kingo. To my surprise kingo rooted it in like 5 seconds. I already had Magisk installed, so anyhow - process went like this:
1) Install Magisk app
2) Install kingo app
3) Root with kingo
4) Run Magisk, choose to install magisk with direct patching method
5) Reboot
6) Uninstall kingo (Kingo app and Superuser app)
7) Install Flashify
8) Flash the recovery.img found in 351 Transpeed H40.rar
9) Use Magisk to reboot to recovery
Why on earth I could not get this box to flash is beyond wrapping my head around. No matter, for everything seems to be ok.
Its worth noting that using this method causes magisk to give the abnormal blah blah error on startup. Its annoying however root still works. If you'd like this message to go away, do this:
Have a copy of the latest magisk on your box, with file extension renamed to zip from apk.
Reboot to TWRP from within the magisk app
IIn TWRP, choose install, then browse to where you saved the magisk.zip file to and flash it.
Now reboot, and go to the magisk app. It will have a new error - and want reinstalled.
Choose direct install method, then click "Do it" in upper right hand corner. Flash and reboot
Now everything is right as rain. =)
