Can't Update SU Binary on Note 3???

So I just got done rooting my Note 3 with towelroot and everything went fine. I checked to make sure it worked with "Root Checker" and it said I successfully had root access. So next step I took was to download a SuperUser app from the PlayStore, and no matter WHAT SuperUser app I use, NONE of them can update the SU Binary????? so I went and downloaded "Busybox Installer" and downloaded the latest Busybox version to my Note. Then went back to retry to update the Binary but still no progess!! I'm stuck and I really don't know what else to do! I'm not trying to install any ROM or Safestrap. Just want my phone rooted to mess around with some permissions and hacked apks. So can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong???? I've rebooted my Note COUNTLESS number of times and still SuperSU still says it fails to update the Binary! It successfully disable KNOX tho. So what can I do so that I can use my root to my full potential and update the SU Binary???

I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that its just a problem with towelroot.. And that same thing happened to me on my note 3. I'm pretty sure what I did was download safestrap (you can I install it after) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517610 and flash this (chainfires supersu +binary) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517610
If that doesn't work just either pm me or comment that it didn't and I'll see if I can find another way! And you can always uninstall safestrap once you flashed the package (don't forget to clear cache and dalvic)

clarify your Super user app from google play is 1.99r4 ....you should check THIS thread for latest SuperSu app (2.00)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
keep in mind Vzw recovery is locked, you cannot flash files on stock rom.
SS will relieve big headaches....so install it.
check upload... you get one free today
:good:

Once rooted with towelroot, I uninstalled the towelroot app. After the next reboot, SuperSU was not complaining anymore for me.

Thanks for all the help! Got it up and running in no time!

I put Safe strap on and installed it, then updated the SU Binary through custom recovery via SafeStrap.

Download the flashable zip of supersu. Then instead of flashing, go to the Commons folder inside it and extract the apk. Install it and then run it from app drawer.

This just prompts SU binary update and fails.
I managed to download safestrap and have the su zip in my downloads, but dont knwo where to go from here.
I also don't use anything but stock ROM, won't I trip KNOX by flashing my stock?
First time rooting so I probably shouldn't play around with things alone. Thanks

Still not downloading the binary. Now I can't even uninstall it through drawer, did the flash make it a system app?
I think I should've uninstalled it before the flash.

It might've, sorry but I'm not clear on what I did..(I think I just flashed a rom) Just go to system/app and see if it's there. Delete it and reflash.

[Q] SuperSU gives me an error - "There is no binary installed" (Android 5.0)

[Q] SuperSU gives me an error - "There is no binary installed" (Android 5.0)
I have just updated my nexus 4 to Andorid L 5.0 and I rooted the device using CF-Autoroot.
I have the SuperSu app but I dont have access to root and when I open it, it says :
"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!
If you just upgraded to Android 5.0, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device."
I am quite tired of unlocking my bootloader over and over again.
Is there a flashable zip that can fix this problem ?
Thank you!

Download Supersu beta 2.27 zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
But you need to have a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP to flash it.

you need to flash .img file of modified kernel from chainfire. and yr .zip of supersu will work

SuperSU 2.2.7 will work but CF-Autoroot flashes a modified kernel so you need to flash a stock kernel first then install SuperSU from TWRP. You can leave you bootloader unlocked.

[Q] Safestrap problem.

I'm rooted and I have updated Supersu to the most recent binary and I installed Safestrap and when I try and open it after installing the apk file this is the error message that I get.

SuperSU error: SU Binaries occupied

SuperSU updated yesterday like normal, required updating binaries and I used TRWP. I updated the app with my Titanium Backup. Another app updated today but when I tried to back it up Titanium had lost root. Opened SuperSU and got SU Binaries occupied. Later today, I powered up again, SuperSU and Titanium both had new updates. I thought the problem was reported and fixed but it still does the same thing! :crying: Anybody??
EDIT: A known issue, https://forum.xda-developers.com/ap...6-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703/page165

I had the same problem as well after SuperSU binary update
SuperSU 2.82 no loger have ability to replace Kingoroot and now it says "SU Binaries occupied". Really Chainfire?
SuperSU 2.79 was the best version.

Got this error too after installing 2.82. What I did was to Reinstall ("Cleanup to reinstall from Google Play" option in Settings) and then installed the 2.79 apk I have as backup. Got a prompt that SU binaries needed to be updated and so I did. Update was successful and seemed to do the trick since I'm not receiving the error and still have root.

The last SuperSU version I had before updating to 2.82 was 2.79. I was lucky I turned off automatic updates because the next SuperSU versions after 2.79 were buggy based on reviews. I updated to 2.82 because I thought bugs were already ironed out. It was a bad decision because I started having "SU Binaries occupied" error popping up. I solved this by reinstalling the 2.79 apk I had as backup.
Maybe you updated from a different SuperSU version that's why it didn't work. Make sure that you reinstalled the SuperSU apk version you were using before you upgraded to 2.82.
I've been reading the reviews and the most common reply by support is to flash the SuperSU binaries that corresponds to version 2.82. You can try that. Visit the XDA thread of SuperSU for the flashable zip.
If all things fail with SuperSU, you can try phh's Superuser as an alternative.

Sorry, I'm not an expert with these kinds of things. However, you can try visiting the XDA thread of SuperSU and ask for help there.
And also, I'll stay away from Kingroot if I were you. Search for "Kingroot malware/adware" on XDA for more information.
You can try 'phh's Superuser' as an alternative. You can also ask help there.

Install SuperSU 2.65 and update binary, then reboot, and update from Play Store, then update binary again (using "normal" option).

This works for me:
1° Root using Kingoroot
2° Install Supersu
2° Install link2sd
3° open link2sd and found in the list Supersu, press continuolsy (not simple click) and Click "convert to system app"
4° Remove Kingoroot supersu and Kingoroot
5° Reset device
6° Open Supersu and apply binaires!

For me root works, but SuperSU SU Binaries are still "occupied" Device: Huawei y540

for me it helped to:
* install version 2.79
* run it and follow instructions
* update to 2.82
* reboot
* 2.82 works!

delete this please
