[Q] SuperSU binary problem - AT&T HTC One (M8)

I just RUUd (couldn't OTA) and installed SuperSU via zip from recovery, but now I'm getting the message "There is no SU Binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it."
Any ideas?
thanks!

Make sure you're on the latest version of SuperSU! That did the trick for me when I had this problem.

That was, indeed, the solution. For some reason, the link I found took me to the 1.94 version (too old, I guess).
Once I grabbed the latest, it worked.

odd error message when trying to run rom

When I try to run clockwork mod from rom manager it tells me " an error occurred while attempting to run privaleged commands!" what is this supposed to mean?
I have the super user zip to install on my device I haven't ran a rom in a while though now so I have an older version of revolutionary.
How do I get clockwork mod installed so I can run the zip or is there an easier way to run the zip? When I get to fast boot and try to run recovery it boots to a red ! in a triangle.

Are you S-off?
You may not have full root.
Install Root Checker from the Play Store and see if you have root access.
If you're S-off, have full root, and have root access according to Root Checker...
Make sure your Superuser binaries are up-to-date.
Then install Busybox and smart install Busybox binaries.
See if that works.

So I'm not fully rooted. How do I get fully rooted and once I do how do I make sure my superuser binaries are up to date?

What software version is your phone running? ...And is that what your phone was originally running?

No software. Am on stock. I forget what I ran before I went back to stock.
Okay, good.
What software version are you on?
To check: Go to settings, about phone, software information, and tell me what the software number is.

If you run the tbolt tool and it says not rooted, then root.
If it lets you go to the main menu then run option 6 in the extras menu

Quite simply, you most likely just need to re-root or root your phone.
Just follow the process.

SU Binary Won't Update After Latest SU Update

I updated to the latest SU through the Play Store App SuperSU. Now none of my root apps work. When I open SU it says binaries need to be updated, but it won't update them through the app. I have to reboot into TWRP, but I don't have the latest binaries. And had no luck finding them.
Any one else have this issue?
Any suggestions?
What kind of ROM are you on? If AOSP, you go into developer options and make sure root is enabled there, too? (I Dont know if sense has dev option, I don't use that crap lol).

Stock ROM with S-On. Do not have the latest software update.
What happens when you're prompted to boot into recovery to update the binary? Also, have you checked your settings in the SuperSU app to make sure that you don't have it set to deny permissions to root apps?

If I boot into recovery, it does nothing. And I know my settings were set ask for permission for root apps. But I can't even check my settings now because everytime I open SuperSU it prompts me to update the binaries & if you say cancel, the app simply closes.
Look through the thread in the link below. You may need to re-flash the SuperSU zip in recovery. Normally, TWRP will detect that your phone isn't rooted and give you the option to install the SuperSU app. Not quite sure what's going on in your case:what:

You're in good hands with fin. Wish I had more to add.
Is there a way to uninstall updates for superSU via settings/apps/all ?

You can uninstall the app but the su binary is still in place (ask me how I know since I just removed the app and still have root access). The su binary file is still installed in /system/xbin. I would think that flashing an updated SuperSU in recovery would just overwrite the older version, at which time the app could be re-installed.

Running CM11, with supersu pro.
- Installed SuperSU.
- Update Binaries via TWRP
- Restart Phone into Recovery (TWRP)
(because it doesn't do this automatically,for some reason)
- Once TWRP loads, it runs the script.
- Restart Phone
- Open SuperSU
- Install as system app.
- Icon disappears
- Play Store, download SuperSU, reinstall as regular
Works for me. Not sure why it has to be like that, though, but...not complaining!

Yeah I'll try that. Before I saw this I tried reflashing SU from the EVO Root files and flashed a different SU app instead and now I have 2 different SU apps so I'm a do a wipe and restore of my Nandroid then flash the updated SuperSU.
Had the same problem.
Thanks for the help. After the restore & Updated SU flash, it's back running normal. Actually running better. Thanks again.
When I installed SuperSU, it did *not* uninstall the older Superuser app.
1) Is that a problem? (Superuser keeps bugging me that the binary is out of date)
2) How do I get rid of Superuser without screwing anything else up?
RootChecker says I still have root, so I guess SuperSU is installed properly...
Uninstall the app, or remove with Titanium Backup.

Hmm, lost root? - How is everyone updating SU binaries?

So I was having Wi-Fi tether issues the GPE ROM and tried a different super user app to update binaries. Kept getting prompted to do it via recovery. Boot into recovery yet when I reboot I'm getting no prompt install binaries. Can't edit /system as root explorer won't work. Any ideas? I've tried both recoveries. I see the su file in /system/xbin
edit: reflashed, got SU back. Binaries still out of date... still getting prompts to boot into recovery to install latest binaries. doing so results in nothing, no prompt, no install. how are people updating theirs??

Yea that was my next move... Been sitting at the starting apps screen going on 10 minutes for the third time
Got Rom booted back... But seriously, supersu is prompting me to update binaries through recovery, but it isn't doing anything at all. Root checker says I have no root access. Any ideas?

Can't obtain root. Problems with SuperSU?

So since I've upgraded to 4.3 I can't get root access. I'm using Hasoon2000's toolkit and am unlocked and have a custom recovery installed. I tried to flash many different versions of SuperSU, but end up getting an error message saying there is:
1 No su binary,
2. It needs to be updated (normal/recovery-but doesn't work)
AND
3. If you upgraded to 4.3 recently, you need to re-root
How can I fix this?
I need root badly to restore with titanium!
Also can anyone link or recommend an ad Oct app that works on the One and actually blocks ads. Thanks!

Try Superuser instead of SuperSU. You might be trying to root with a old version of SuperSU. You need version 1.80
Go to the supersu website and download the 1.86 version. It's the latest.

[Q] SuperSU, Installed Failed

Hello!
My phone (Cherry Mobile Bubble Android 2.3.5) was rooted before through Mobogenie's One Click Root. I don't have any problem my apps gaining root access. But i can't do software update, so i thought that's because of being rooted. So I did permanent root at SuperSU settings, and I have successfully updated my phone. But when I rooted my phone again, I can't gain root access through SuperSu. It always shows "Installation failed". I do have an update zip file on my sd cards root. But to no avail.
Please help. I'm noob regarding on this.
You cant just install SuperSU and expect it to work. You need to use your 1 click tool again. Or another full rooting method.
When you unrooted the binaries that was root were deleted.

In addition, I already did uninstalling and re-installing superSU. And I have also tried to use Superuser or any other superuser app, but nothing happens. I already did a factory reset, but still no change.

I already did that. I've rooted it again through one click root, and it says i am rooted. But SuperSu says, installation failed. While superuser says, it can't gain root access.
I have lost root access before when I updated SuperSu, I can't remember what i did then. But i was able to get back root access.
If you have a custom recovery superSU has the option to flash the correct one manually.

No, i don't have any custom recovery
Is there other way for me to flash the correct one?
Try Vroot, its another one click root method. I used it on my Note 3 and installed superSU afterwards. One downside is it's chinese, so its hard to read lol.
