This device was fully functional in terms of root about a month and a half ago.
Used tr v3. No app responds to superuser. SU binary is detected, but prompt never appears. SuperSU wants to update the binary, but always fails. Unable to uninstall the binary.
Any causes/fixes?

I just flash the homebase rom on my atrix. The binary updater says my su is outdated. I try to update but it keeps failing. It says "Checking current install path... fail!" How do I fix this problem?
Try updating superuser from market.
If doesn't help check if you got root with app that required root (like Root Checker or Titanium backup), if there isn't root - root with: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255548 (Or if you want to try reflash rom)
I do have root and the old superuser works fine, but after updating the new superuser from the market, it can't find the path for some reason. I tried reinstalling root, but it failed because it said I already have superuser in my phone.
OK so uninstall it and root again.
This seems like a good place to put this, I have an HTC Wildfire S with S-OFF but after updating Superuser from the Android Market the Binary was outdated. I checked to make sure S-OFF was not now S-ON so that was ok. I then used recovery mode and installed the latest Superuser.apk with the binary from zip, found here -> megaupload.com/?d=8QI41EE3 and the problem was fixed. Hope this works for the Atrix 4G as well.
Hey all, I just performed the vroot method on my MJ7 build. I have managed to figure everything out and SuperSU is on my phone. However, I'm trying to update the binary so I can freeze the chinese superuser and use SuperSU as my app. When I try to update the binary (with the chinese superuser frozen and defrosted) the update fails and asks me to reboot. Is there any way for me to fix this? There's a text pop-up that says "SuperSU gain root" When I launch the app.
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.
I've Galaxy S6 edge 925F model. I've tried UniBase kernel on it but when I open SuperSU app. it says to install SU binary. And I ended up in a bootloop after hitting continue on that su binary installation message.
P.S I selected normal installation. not the TWRP/CWM method.
I've also tried to flash TWRP but ended up in bootloop.
Any other way to install SU binary?
So I just used Super Sume on my MID tablet and got KingRoot off my system. Updated SuperSU. Was met with "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!". Of course, this crap TMAX has no custom recovery so I can't flash the binary myself traditionally. Any advice?
