I should have replied to the SuperSU thread but since I have less than 10 posts...
I was doing a fresh flash/install. The first thing to do of course is to root the phone.
Installed SuperSU 0.94, open it up, says that I need to update the binary, clicked OK, Installation Failed, tried that several times via 3G/Wifi.
Tested under Better Terminal, typed su: not found.
Then I installed Superuser 3.1.3, run SuperSU again and the binary update worked.
Tested under Better Terminal, typed su: # it worked.
Uninstalled Superuser and tested under Better Terminal
SU gone again.
The binary update failure happened before when version<0.7.3.
So why is this? Why do I need to install Superuser to get SuperSU to work?
It depends on what su binary is installed when you root your phone or what app the author of the ROM prefers. You can download the supersu zip package and install it after you install a ROM but even then you'll have to update binary via launching the app itself.

Because every app that uses Superuser permissions needs a a management app to get access to su.

Oh, by Supuruser I'm talking about Superuser - the old app, not the superuser permission.

Yep, you're right, I was just stupid not paying attention to the bat root script. I removed the old Superuser.apk from the scirpt but not the binary.
When I replaced the su with SuperSU binary, no errors anymore. Thanks.
Hi,
accidentally I lost superuser access at all after update process.
Executing the following way:
Tried to replace SuperSU 1.00 with SuperSU 1.04 but installation failed, so I opened old SuperSU app and chosen "Cleanup and prepare for update to newer version"
It asked to reboot, update and reboot again
I rebooted, installed SuperSU 1.04 and rebooted again, but now I can't start the app at all. It says "SU Binary not installed and SuperSU can't be installed. This is a problem." Then closes
Please help how to get SuperSU back to full operation. Thanks!

This is not working. Installed Superuser from GP, installed SuperSU 1.04 -> went fine
Reboot
Running Superuser, it opens but says nothing
Running SuperSU, it aborts with same error
If I run any app requiring root access, it fails.
Now I'm stuck here
Uninstalled Superuser
Uninstalled SuperSU
Fully unrooted using Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 (x)
Reboot
Rooted back using Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 (normal mode) -> Script finished successfull but no Superuser app
Therefore I install Superuser manually from GP again (success), still no root access

Bin4ry
Try to unroot using flashtool (there is an option under one of the menus) and then root the way you did using Bin4ry's tool

I was impatient so I flashed clean stock ROM .75
The prob with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 is that it still couldnot make root on clean ROM, only Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry-XP did (on old kernel). What ROMs actually is Bin4ry v18 supporting?
Now on SuperSU Pro 1.04 already :good: but was pain
For the next time, how to update properly SuperSU without struggling this hassle?
Several more questions:
If I have both SuperSU and Superuser can those both coexist or better to uninstall Superuser?
Can I update SuperSU Pro by SuperSU ? Why is SuperSU Pro only half a size of SuperSU (not Pro)?
And finally can I safely restore Titanium Backup system data from 6.1.1.B.1.54 on .75?
I succesfully updated my Samsung Galaxy S3 from Android 4.2.2. to 4.3 after rooting my Phone.
However, SuperSU doesn't work anymore, giving the message "If you upgraded to Android 4.3 you need to manually re-root".
I cannot find an answer in the forums here on XDA developmers.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance,

I already tried that on my own. Didn't work. SU still tells me that I need to update the SU binary. Manual re root. And I AM rooted! I even wiped EVERYTHING and started over. no go. So, I'm guessing that I need to manual re root. I'll search for that binary where ever that is Oh, I went to the latest SlimBean build #2 for 4.3.1 after CM 10.1.3 and CM 10.2 refused to install on my d2usc. Now CM's Rom Manager won't work, SU doesn't work, anything that needs root access no work mahn! On the good side, everything else works fantastic, except PIE control. But I bet that has something to do with root access, so no great surprise there. I am enjoying every minute of these problems!
Rooted 4.3 and installed SuperSU

I had similar problem. Here is what I did -
1. Download CF-Auto-Root-d2att-d2uc-samsungsghi747 from autoroot.chainfire.eu.
2. Unzip
3. Use ODIN in the package to root.
4. Install ROM Manager.
5. Install SuperSU(Chainfire) from Play Store.
6. Open SuperSU and update SU binary. I saw a message to disable KNOX. I did it:highfive:
7. Install CWM Touch.
Then I installed other apps that need SU - Triangle Away, Titanium Backup. These apps worked fine for me. I went ahead and froze bloatware.

After updating to 4.3 my SU does not work, I have tried all I have internatinal model if any info please post

if you have supersu or super user already than just download update-supersu from http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip and flash it through the recovery mode( custom recovery preferred).
xprivacy / reboot to recovery
In my case I was getting false alerts as xprivacy has blocked system access. (eg was with AdAway) Cleared those apps in XPrivacy and all worked find then.
Also you can try to go into recovery and the try to reboot. You may get message to reinstate/fix SU.

You rock, I had re-rooted my updated Android 4.3 but my SuperSU was not usable anymore. Redownloaded it, allowed it to update SU Binary, disabling Knox, and viola! Root galore

that fixed it for me..thanks :good:
Tried all these steps on the new 4.3 MK6 ROM. Does not work for me. I cant find the Root access option itself in developer options. I already tried flashing CF-Autoroot multiple times after factory reset, using odin. I CWM still says binaries outdated and SuperSU doesn't work work even after updating from play store. Later i tried flashing supersu via the recovery mode. Still no success. Any suggestions?
Edit:
Another factory reset and flash did it. I don't know how. But it is fixed now.
By following your step, my superuser icon is gone...

—------------------------------------------------------
I know this is an old problem and has been answered many times, i have read all thepossible ways to fix it and i have tried, over and over but I'm missing something.
Please help.
I rooted with Supersu, it worked for 2days then stopped. Now all the root apps can't work and i have tried everything to make it work, to no avail. Here is a copy of my Root hecker:
Root access not properly configured or granted.
Superuser Application Status
Installed: SuperSU by Chainfire - version 2.46
System Files Status

Setting stored in /default.prop and configured as: ro.secure=1
Additional: System Environment PATH Status
System Environment PATH: /sbin /vendor/bin /system/sbin /system/bin /system/xbin
_----------------------
So my device is rooted, but i don't have permission. Tried to copy .su file from xbin to bin, not possible.
Uninstalled reinstalled, unrooted rerooted, reinstalled SuperSu from playstore.
Made sure no double superuser programs running.
Got rid of Knox.
Tried to custom install Supersu update, says invalid certificate.
I believe if i can copy the .su file in \xbin to \bin the permissions wil be there. Bought Rootbrowser but error when copying. Or give permission on file SetUID.
Can't run Bootbox cause didn't install before root stopped working. Also Titanium backup stopped working now.
Any ideas how to fix? Don't want to factory reset. Can't be to difficult to fix.
PS. If this post is i wrong place please advise where itshould be.
Thanks

I can't find my phone as one of the packages. I have an Alcatel phone.
root my mobile but didn't get access
rooted my phone micromax a116, all proccess done wel as shown in tutorials. But root checker says that "root access is not properly installed on this device". Please tell me what to do?
So I ran Kingroot, it went to 100% and using a root checker confirms my phone is rooted, and it assigns permissions to apps that request root. Caveat - / and /system remain readonly, Busybox could not install anything and I have no su binary so no question of doing an adb shell and using mount. Is there a fix?

Already did, doesn't work. You need an su binary first, like I said even the busy box installation failed.
Try RIC Killer app. Sounds like ric is still enabled stopping writing to the system partition. I'm not sure if it would work on lollipop or with kingroot but that's what I'd do. Search XDA for RIC Killer.
