[Q] Lil help please, Root issues after update

I updated to 4.2.1 with the OTA zip file using TWRP and voodoo root keeper installed. It flashed just fine. Rebooted with update. My root access is funky though. SuperSU is still there and I can access root file threw root explorer but I can't mount it as writable and when I install a new app that needs root access it never asks for it. Does superSU need to be updated? There is no update available??? Thanks

just flash the supersu zip again in TWRP

There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it

Greetings Folks!!!
I am on CM12.1 Lollipop 5.1.1 Nightly, and ROOT access was working fine on my phone so far. When I launched Thunderzap today, I noticed that the app was waiting on "Requesting ROOT Privileges" for over 2 mins, and also the SuperSU app was missing from the app drawer. Thunderzap had been recently updated, and I suspect that might have triggered the root access to be requested again, but it wasn't given root access for some reason, and I never got a prompt to grant it root access. However, my other apps like ROOT Explorer, Shell Terminal Emulator etc, which weren't updated off lately, worked fine with root access. Not sure why now, but I thought reinstalling SuperSU-v2.46 might be a good idea at that time, and I flashed that file. And ever since I have completely lost my root access. When I launch the SuperSU app now, i get an error saying:- "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it"
Some help would be appreciated. Screenshots attached.

I've managed to fix the issue. I just re-flashed the CM-Update file (located in the pone's internal memory), and got some ROOT access prompt while trying to open Thunderzap again. Thereafter, I installed SuperSU from the Playstore and got my binary updated through it. :good:

CF-Auto-Root no SuperSU

I have a SM-G900W8 currently on stock Android 5.1.1. I rooted my device with Odin. My phone was supposed to boot into recovery on it's own during the rooting process, which it didnt. It just rebooted normally. SuperSU wasnt in my apps so I downloaded it from the PlayStore and downloaded also a root checker. The Root Checker confirmed that my phone was rooted. When I open SuperSU, I see the Root Checker app in the apps tab. But SuperSu then asks to update binary and when I press yes, it fails everytime and asks me to reboot and try again. Any ideas ?

Help me get rid of Kingroot

I have rooted my L8lite using Kingroot and it was successful (I think), but now I can't get rid of Kingroot if my life depended on it.
Things I have tried so far:
- Replacing Kingroot with SuperSU using the method described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/tutorial-how-to-root-bootloader-unlock-t3314786
- Replacing Kingroot with SuperSU using SuperSU-Me application from here: https://androidmtk.com/replace-kinguser-with-supersu
- Removing Kingroot using the option of SuperSU to remove other SU apps
- Uninstalling from Kingroot options menu
- Restoring a backup previously made using adb
- Factory reset
None of this worked. Please for the love of god someone tell me how to remove that piece of malware from my phone. I am frustrated beyond measure and extreme close to completely giving up.
Is my only option flashing? Would that help with removing Kingroot?
Thank you.
Update: I upgraded to Android 6.0 from local storage using an update I downloaded from Huawei's official website (http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/rom-emui-4-0-android-6-0-single-sim-ale-t3360097). Kingroot is no longer there and Root checker app says the phone is no longer rooted. Curiously, SuperSU and SuperSU-Me are still there, but I removed them using app manager without hassle. Am I in the clear now?
Update 2: After rebooting using "adb reboot bootloader" command it seems that bootloader is still unlocked, which is good. Now I have to find a better way to unroot.

Getting rid of kingroot
Hey bujamin,
Kingroot is a powerful app and removing it without losing root is a near impossible task.
However, I have a solution, not a programmed flashable zip or something but just a way to get rid of Kingroot using existing tools.
My solution :
1. Use kingroot to root your device.
2. Get a custom recovery after you acquired root with KingRoot, preferably TWRP (bear with KingUser).
3. Open Kingroot and in Settings you will find an option to Remove Root authorisation or Uninstall kingroot (depending on the version). This will remove Kingroot completely and unroot your phone too.
4. Since, you have a custom recovery installed now, you no longer need Kingroot to acquire root access.
5. Get the latest SuperSu flashable zip from here.
6. Access the recovery and install the SuperSu zip that you downloaded.
7. A Success message and an option to reboot system will be shown.
8. Reboot.
SuperSu has now been installed and can be found in your app drawer. Your phone is now rooted.
