Can someone explain why this is happening:
After unlocking, I started with flashing stock-17.1.1.A.0.402-sirius-repack.img from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/sirius and was able to get to the new recovery ok. I then proceeded to flashing superuser. After flash and reboot I tried installing busybox but the install failed (, I got the superuser prompt as expected but install still failed. Xposed framework also failed to install with error about not being able to write to system. AdAway also couldn't write to hosts file.
Then I flashed Doom's CWM-Based Recovery 6.0.4.7 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702001 and everything started working.. busybox/xposed/adaway installed fine etc.
Why couldn't I install the above when running TRWP?

I've experienced the same and found that the official TWRP Kernel doesn´t have enabled write permissions for the device.
Just take DooMloards unofficial build for .402:

I hope this helps you.
Cheers, yeah, I figured it was something like that..
I'm having a similar issue with adaway not writing the hosts file and Root Exporter can't change to R/W. I'm on 314, used Easy Root and installed Supesu from the play store. Is there any way around this without installing a custom.recovery?
@irishrally I had to remove SuperSU then flash ClockworkMod SuperUser to get AdAway to work right, with SuperSU it always failed to copy the hosts file, with CWM SuperUser it copies & applies it with no issues.

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?
Hi guys,
I have a little issue : after unlock the boot loader,
loaded the TRWP 2.5.0
I tried to load update-superSU2.02.zip to get root privileges by recovery mode
I was done, but when I open the superSU app it told me it hasn't program
in effect su miss from system/xbin nor from system/bin.
Analisyng the superSU installation script I saw It use system/xbin/daemonsu but I can't find it into my directory
Daes Anyone know who install that program?
many thanks
[Solved]
I solved the problem:
the TWRP 2.5.0 provided with WinDroid Universal HTC Toolkit v1.2 doesn't work well, this recovery wasn't able to load cache partition (I don't know why) anyway with a version of trwp 2.5 loaded by promnpt
Code:
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
It worked
Hey, i installed twrp and flashed the supersu.zip directory. but then when i press reboot, another screen comes up saying to install supersu, but it is never allowed to finish in time as the phone reboots. When i try and open supersu after rebooting it says the binaries are not installed. Its really annoying because i want to get my phone rooted badly.
Any suggestions would be amazing.
Most of the custom ROM's already have supersu inside. If you want to install a custom ROM follow these steps in the tutorial section.
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.
To succesfully install the newest Versions of SuperSU you have to install it in systemless mode. If you flash the ZIP it will install it in /system mode, so you have to force the systemless install.
Before you flash the newest Beta SuperSU.zip go to the TWRP terminal and write:
echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu
Then flash the ZIP.
SuperSU will be installed in systemless mode and your Phone will boot up fine.
I'm getting stucked in boot logo +1... after installing some apps, with root permissions, like Viper4android, DPI changer, SElinux permissive... don't know what happend. what should i do?
I try this, but still stuck at boot logo...
This method doesn't resolve a boot loop when it is caused by something else. I would recommend you to do a clean install and then install your desired apps one by one with a testing reboot in between to see which app is causing your boot loop.
