I should have replied to the SuperSU thread but since I have less than 10 posts...
I was doing a fresh flash/install. The first thing to do of course is to root the phone.
Installed SuperSU 0.94, open it up, says that I need to update the binary, clicked OK, Installation Failed, tried that several times via 3G/Wifi.
Tested under Better Terminal, typed su: not found.
Then I installed Superuser 3.1.3, run SuperSU again and the binary update worked.
Tested under Better Terminal, typed su: # it worked.
Uninstalled Superuser and tested under Better Terminal
SU gone again.
The binary update failure happened before when version<0.7.3.
So why is this? Why do I need to install Superuser to get SuperSU to work?
It depends on what su binary is installed when you root your phone or what app the author of the ROM prefers. You can download the supersu zip package and install it after you install a ROM but even then you'll have to update binary via launching the app itself.

Because every app that uses Superuser permissions needs a a management app to get access to su.

Oh, by Supuruser I'm talking about Superuser - the old app, not the superuser permission.

Yep, you're right, I was just stupid not paying attention to the bat root script. I removed the old Superuser.apk from the scirpt but not the binary.
When I replaced the su with SuperSU binary, no errors anymore. Thanks.
Hi all. As flashing SuperUser via CWM doesn't give an uninstall option, would it be better to install
it from the Play Store, or is flashing better for some reason.
Thanks.
I think flashing is better because:when you root your Tab,in addition to Superuser you inject a file named "su" in the folder "bin" of your OS,but if you install Superuser you must put that file there manually...but there is a way:in the flash able zip remove the Superuser APP,and after flashing install Superuser or SuperSU according to your OS.

Thank you.
I flashed CWM, and then installed SuperUser via Play, but it didn't work. I didn't know about the "su" file.
So I uninstalled SuperUser, and flashed the file I had on hand, which is SuperSU.
Worked like a charm and everything is working.
Got an "update available" message this morning, which was for SuperSU. Updated, and all is well.
Thanks again!
I succesfully updated my Samsung Galaxy S3 from Android 4.2.2. to 4.3 after rooting my Phone.
However, SuperSU doesn't work anymore, giving the message "If you upgraded to Android 4.3 you need to manually re-root".
I cannot find an answer in the forums here on XDA developmers.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance,

I already tried that on my own. Didn't work. SU still tells me that I need to update the SU binary. Manual re root. And I AM rooted! I even wiped EVERYTHING and started over. no go. So, I'm guessing that I need to manual re root. I'll search for that binary where ever that is Oh, I went to the latest SlimBean build #2 for 4.3.1 after CM 10.1.3 and CM 10.2 refused to install on my d2usc. Now CM's Rom Manager won't work, SU doesn't work, anything that needs root access no work mahn! On the good side, everything else works fantastic, except PIE control. But I bet that has something to do with root access, so no great surprise there. I am enjoying every minute of these problems!
Rooted 4.3 and installed SuperSU

I had similar problem. Here is what I did -
1. Download CF-Auto-Root-d2att-d2uc-samsungsghi747 from autoroot.chainfire.eu.
2. Unzip
3. Use ODIN in the package to root.
4. Install ROM Manager.
5. Install SuperSU(Chainfire) from Play Store.
6. Open SuperSU and update SU binary. I saw a message to disable KNOX. I did it:highfive:
7. Install CWM Touch.
Then I installed other apps that need SU - Triangle Away, Titanium Backup. These apps worked fine for me. I went ahead and froze bloatware.

if you have supersu or super user already than just download update-supersu from http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip and flash it through the recovery mode( custom recovery preferred).
xprivacy / reboot to recovery
In my case I was getting false alerts as xprivacy has blocked system access. (eg was with AdAway) Cleared those apps in XPrivacy and all worked find then.
Also you can try to go into recovery and the try to reboot. You may get message to reinstate/fix SU.

You rock, I had re-rooted my updated Android 4.3 but my SuperSU was not usable anymore. Redownloaded it, allowed it to update SU Binary, disabling Knox, and viola! Root galore

that fixed it for me..thanks :good:
Tried all these steps on the new 4.3 MK6 ROM. Does not work for me. I cant find the Root access option itself in developer options. I already tried flashing CF-Autoroot multiple times after factory reset, using odin. I CWM still says binaries outdated and SuperSU doesn't work work even after updating from play store. Later i tried flashing supersu via the recovery mode. Still no success. Any suggestions?
Edit:
Another factory reset and flash did it. I don't know how. But it is fixed now.
By following your step, my superuser icon is gone...

I know this is an old problem and has been answered many times, i have read all thepossible ways to fix it and i have tried, over and over but I'm missing something.
Please help.
I rooted with Supersu, it worked for 2days then stopped. Now all the root apps can't work and i have tried everything to make it work, to no avail. Here is a copy of my Root hecker:
Root access not properly configured or granted.
Superuser Application Status
Installed: SuperSU by Chainfire - version 2.46
System Files Status

Additional: System Environment PATH Status
System Environment PATH: /sbin /vendor/bin /system/sbin /system/bin /system/xbin
_----------------------
So my device is rooted, but i don't have permission. Tried to copy .su file from xbin to bin, not possible.
Uninstalled reinstalled, unrooted rerooted, reinstalled SuperSu from playstore.
Made sure no double superuser programs running.
Got rid of Knox.
Tried to custom install Supersu update, says invalid certificate.
I believe if i can copy the .su file in \xbin to \bin the permissions wil be there. Bought Rootbrowser but error when copying. Or give permission on file SetUID.
Can't run Bootbox cause didn't install before root stopped working. Also Titanium backup stopped working now.
Any ideas how to fix? Don't want to factory reset. Can't be to difficult to fix.
PS. If this post is i wrong place please advise where itshould be.
Thanks

Hi there,
I have a Lenovo A806 phone. I installthe SU binary? Iinstalled towelroot and then supersu. When I try to open supersu, it says the SU binary needs to be updated. I press update, it asks how do I want to install the SU binary? I can select normal or twrp, but both failed.
Any idea, what can be the problem and the solution?
Thank you!
Got 2 option, 1) try to install old version of superuser, 2)reboot to recovery, using File Manager, copy su file from /system/bin/etc/.su to /system/bin/su

Hello guys. I need your help please. I have LG L9 II with 4.4.2 build 20g.
I have found this root method and it works, i get root access. Then i decided to remove kinguser and install SuperSU. So i installed supersu from google play, it asked for su binary update. I let it update, but it always ended with error "su binary update failed".
I tried Google and found tutorial on YouTube how to replace kinguser with supersu. I used that script, it worked - after end it opened supersu, and su binary update worked without error, great. But then i restarted device and i lost root access, supersu was telling su binary missing and cant install it. So i must root again with kinguser.
Then I tried to install SuperSU from recovery, so i downloaded supersu flashable zip, entered command 'reboot recovery', it opened stock 3e recovery. There are options apply update from external sdcard and from cache (+ ADB and wipe options). But when I select 'apply update form external sdcard' it shows error "E: failed to mount /sdcard (No CSI structure available)". Only 'apply update from cache' doesnt show error, so i put supersu to /cache partition, but flash failed with error 255 and installation aborted.
So please, can someone help, how i can fix 'no csi structure available'? And how i can have supersu permanently?
Big thanks for all helpers.
