Okay so I wiped my tablet and was able to update my TWRP to Voyager's new 2.6.3 version. I then installed the CMB ROM after using ADB to push it and gapps to my Prime in recovery. Everything installed just fine. When I got my tablet all booted up it seems I lost root somehow. I have never lost root in all the times I have flashed ROM's until now. I don't know if it is because I updated to the new TWRP or what. It is very frustrating and I have tried the Urkel's Fresh Start to re-root and I have also tried motochopper. I have had no success in getting it to root. I have Superuser on my tablet and when I open it up it asks if I want to update the SU binary and when I click yes it says Installation Failed!
Please HELP, I have spent hours on researching this and can't find a way to get my root back.
Edit: Oh and I do have the su in the system/bin folder and Superuser.apk in the the system/apps folder but no su-backup anywhere.

My problem is simple and two fold,
I rooted my tf201 the week i got it, no hassles easy as pie. This was back beggining of 2012 when the ics update first came out.
I did my research and I followed the advice of several posters and installed ota root keeper app. I did the root back up, and all was fine
I noticed the first problem I had was I could not get to recovery, but the only reason I've ever needed recovery was to get root on my tablets, so no biggie. that's problem #1.
Several updates went by and ota root keeper did its job, no worries. I kept my root and still got updates. I was happy as a clam, until I got the jelly bean update. So like every time before I went to restore root, only this time I couldnt get root permission. this is problem #2. Now I cant add any new root necessary apps, I checked with root checker and it says i still have root. but in es file explorer I cant get to root directory since the update, and titanium backup cant get access. I have both super user and superSU installed and super SU cant update the binary.
I tried figureing out how to get to recovery so I could reinstall root the easy way. I looked up info and I unlocked my tf201 no hassle easy as pie. then I went to fastboot and flashed cwm touch recovery. I tried installing both through fast boot and from rom manager app. Neither worked
I tried the power volume trick and I make it to the bootloader but when I try to run recovery it just hangs and says "booting recovery kernal img" but never goes to the recovery.
my two questions are:
1. how do i get my root permission back
2. how do i get to the recovery on my tf201
I have been following this forum and I have googled how to do these things and it didnt work. I have tried rom manager recovery reboot, the transformer reboot to recovery app, and adb reboot "..." from fastboot and nothing gets me to recovery.

That would be because you are trying to flash an ICS recovery onto a jellybean bootloader.
You are very lucky you haven't hard bricked your device.
Hi everybody, I have a xt910 Maxx
10 hours before, i installed JELLY BEAN 4.1.2 ARTMOD V4.31 rom with BMM
I set my device on and then i installed Titanium Backup. But Titanium Backup could not access root privileges.
I checked Superuser, tried to update but i can not update.
Fixin database.. ok
Unpacking sutools.. ok
Checking current install path.. ok system/bin/su
Downloading new binary.. ok
-Here s the problem-
Gaining root acces... failed
I tried to flash Supersu 1.77 zip but i can not.
I flashed rom again. but same problem goes on.
Please help me.
Try to install root via BMM.
Go into recovery>System keeper>install root. The binaries should update afterwards.
Hope it helps.

My note was previously rooted and flashed using cf autoroot method a long while ago. Last week I tried the ps4 remote play installation and uninstalled superuser for the remote play to actual work. Now I tried to reinstall superuser from the play store and got an unknown error -10. So did some googling and installed it through my recovery (teamwin). Its installed but wont work without an update which also gets an error but an error -110. So I went to my root checker and now its saying my root access is denied. Is there a fix for this? Thanks for any help

I don't think there is a qwik fix. Sounds like you lost something during the reinstall. Do you have a TWRP backup of the OS ? Try a backup restore. If not, BACK UP ALL YOUR DATA TO YOUR PC and do a factory reset. Then try and root again, if it doesn't root then I would odin flash a copy of your stock OS i.e. NC5 or NH7. Here is a link to help with that http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 Enjoy !!!
Thanks but did some more digging and found a beta of superuser. I installed and it worked fine. Everything says rooted again. Maybe it was just that version
Im trying to install viper4android which requires busybox, but i get the error busybox installation was not sucessful, try installing in a new location. Ive tried bin and xbin, multiple versions and it still doesnt work. Titanium backup says im rooted and i can grant privledges with SuperSU, although i cant update binaries on supersu.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Bump
Have you tried reinstalling root
Sometimes root doesnt fully work properly after installing so doing some things which require root may fail.
I havent rerooted after updating to 4.4.4 because there is no easy way to do it yet.
I am running Android 5.01 and I was rooted and Busybox needed to update. It failed and I lost root. I am unable to reinstall SuperSU even though I have TWRP Recovery. When I reboot there is no SuperSU installed and root does not work.
nevermind I just found it easier to start over. restored recovery files back to default stock and rooted phone again. What a mess.
