I did a factory reset from recovery on my EVO because it wouldn't boot. Now, I seemed to have lost root access. I can still boot into custom recovery and am S-Off.
I downloaded SuperSU from the play store, and get the message (There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem) when I try to open it.
What do I need to do to regain root access?
Thanks for the help.
Play store won't help you. You need to flash supersu zip from recovery.
Google "update supersu 1.94 zip".

Thanks, then do I need to download it from the Play Store? I flashed it successfully, booted up and the one that was in my app list (from the Play Store) is now gone. Rooter Checker still shows I don't have root access.
Yes you need to reinstall the app.

Flashing that zip should have worked. I question if you were using the right zip file. Do you see it in your apps on your phone?
Here's the URL I use:
http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU
Sometimes if you run root checker too soon after booting into the ROM, it will time out while waiting for permission from SuperSU and falsely conclude that you do not have root. If you're busy doing other stuff afterwards, you very well may have missed the popup where root checker asked for root permissions. If that's the case, when you go into SuperSU you should see root checker listed with red text, which would indicate that root checker was denied root permissions. If this is what you see, select that entry from SuperSU and change the setting from deny to grant. Rerun root checker.
If that doesn't work, please provide more information about your system?
HBoot
Recovery version
ROM
HTC Dev unlocked?
S-off method?
if you run or install TWRP custom recovery it will flash supersu for you when you run it.

Anyone know how to do that?
Installed Superuser through AmonRA flashing the zip.
Thanks
I've always just installed SuperSU either by flashing through recovery, or just installing through the Play Store and then allowing SuperSU through Superuser when the prompt comes up. Then all of the SU requests go through SuperSU. I'm sure there's a better way of doing it, but I've done it on 3 devices through several ROMs that had Superuser pre-installed and it's worked for me.
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,

Hey,
I just flashed the CM12.1 ROM by Temasek yesterday and tried to gain root access again.
Downloaded the SuperSu 1.94 and flashed it with the recovery.
Installed SuperSU from the Play Store but as I try to open the SuperSU option in the settings, I always get this message: There is no SU binary installed. SuperSU cannot install it - You need to manually re-root.
Does anybody know how to get root again?
Thanx very much.

Thank you, but I can't enable the root mode in the cm file mananger and I can't find the option in the dev tools.
Good thing, one app got somehow root access
it's too old
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.
i Have rooted my device and installed custom ROM. After a a few days some application thats need root access can't grant any access from superuser. Then I downloaded root checker and click on verify root and it says "Sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device. Help me.
Back up data then factory data reset it then try root again
