So I installed the 4.3 security update, and half way through I got "Error!" and "No command.". I waited, and eventually it rebooted and my root was lost, as usual. Anyway, I tried reinstalling SuperSU from temporary recovery and now whever I open SuperSU it just tells me that I have no SU binary installed.
Can anyone advise me on what to do? I'm using the flashable zip from Chainfire's site.
Edit: Fixed. I'm dumb, I was flashing an old, non-4.3 compatible zip.

I tried a couple of root apps, they didn't work. F***. Adaway and Music2SD. Both tell me that my rooted S4 isn't rooted. I have prerooted MF9, flashed via TWRP. It included SuperSU, with 1.1.3 binary (I think). Okay, after no search results I decided to do something on my own.
First, I opened SuperSU and told it to install itself as a system app. Then, I installed ChainsDD Superuser. That's when I found out my binary was out of date. I chose to update it via Superuser. For some reason or another, it said it didn't update. I went to app manager, cleared data and uninstalled updates for SuperSU. I updated it in the play store and opened it. Then, it told me my binary was out of date - woo! Wait.. normal method didn't work - "Installation Failed!" Okay, try TWRP/CWM method. It rebooted into recovery, flashed some stuff before I could read it, and restarted. Booted right back up. I opened Superuser and it said I was on v0. Went to ChainsDD's site and downloaded the 3.1.3 ARM to flash in recovery. I did that, still nothing. Now SuperSU and Superuser are permanently installed apps (I now have no root to delete them). Whatever. I ran CF-Auto-Root in Odin. After that, both SuperSU and Superuser were removed. I have nothing now.
My question is, what's the best way to get the latest binary on MF9? If i restore from Nandroid, how should I update? If I start from scratch, what binary will I get from CF-Auto-Root?
UPDATE: I'm back to rooted, with SuperSU. I got the update binary notice and chose the normal method. It updated just fine, but I still can't use Adaway or Music2SD. Superuser by ChainsDD still shows v0.. all of my normal apps have root access just fine.
FIX!: My ignorance is to blame here - XPrivacy blocks root access by default on Adaway and Music2SD... I didn't realize it did that!
So I updated my tab because there was an incremental update. I lost root and twrp after that, so I used wugs toolkit flash twrp and root my device. My question is, the process installed busybox and whenever I install it (coz wug said so during the process) the binaries do not seem to be found as it continuously nags me to update when I already did so. Also, it doesn't seem to be installed on system/xbin. Need help
So, against my better judgment, I installed the newest OTA update. I was running rooted 4.4 stock. I unrooted via the SuperSU options and installed the OTA to 4.4.2. Then I booted in recovery mode, loaded TWRP from a command prompt, and flashed SuperSU 1.80. Flash successful. BUT, then I rebooted the phone and it gave me the "Upgrading Android" notification again, just like it did when I first installed the OTA update. Then--no root. I'm assuming that it is undoing my root as soon as I reboot the phone. I tried re-flashing SuperSU and clearing the cache/dalvik before rebooting, but same result.
Help? Ideas? Alternatively, is there any decent firewall out there that doesn't require root, since that's all I need it for?
Hi Guys.
As the title suggests root access suddenly disappeared from my nexus 6p yesterday.
DigitalHigh rom 7.0 was flashed through the latest twrp (3.0.2-2) and everything was running fine. I got the notification that the SU binary is out of date from PHH's SuperUser. Opened it but nothing really happened. So I downloaded superSU and suddenly it prompted me that the device isn't rooted. Being unfamiliar with PHH's SU I decided to flash the latest SuperSu through TWRP but the phone wouldn't boot.
Right now it has been restored to a backup taken just before flashing SuperSU which means everything is running fine and even android pay works however there's no root access. Is there something specific that might have caused this?
Are there any ways to re-gain root?
Haven't gone through the process of a clean flash yet as the phone is needed for work however even if all of that is done the SU binary will still need to be updated. Is there a different method for updating PHH's root?
So far I have tried clearing cache etc. but noting worked.

Phhusson's superuser and SuperSU don't mix. If you're back to booted, but not rooted with Phh, you'll need to either flash one of the Nougat boot images from the nexus/angler folder or the latest superuser.zip (I think the latest is r229) from http://superuser.phh.me
I'm pretty sure I have root now, but I can't actually run some apps that needs root access (like Ap Ops). Everytime I start up SuperSU, it says the binary needs to be updated. However, it never does it. How do I force it to install? Is there anyway to do it? Thanks.
Flash the most up to date SuperSU zip using TWRP.
