open the supersu app, check if it asks you to update your binaries.

go to the play store, download supersu, then open it after install. when it asks you to update your binaries, do it. or, try downloading supersu again(maybe it was a bad download), and flash it again.

seems to be working,,, thanks
btw I discovered that the supersu was there in the app list in the settings but just not showing in the drawer,, however, installing it from the market solved the issue

Go into the supersu settings. Somewhere all the way to the bottom should be the option to update the binary.

1. Using CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
2. More problems?? -> Take a look: HERE.

Flash the latest 2.46 zip through recovery, and if it prompts you for update, just click OK and it should be fine

Problem with SuperSU Lollipop 5.1

Hello
I just installed Lollipop 5.1 and my problem is that when installing SuperSU and asks me to update the binary, I click on Normal and I get this error:
Error in installation!
Reboot and try again, please.
What do I do?

Then why don't you use recovery installation?
And second, almost every 5.1 is already pre-rooted ...

Have you changed SU too a system app? Then it's often normal that you must install over Recovery or Odin.

what rom you on ?

Have you asked over on the SuperSU thread? You're likely to get your answers there, once you provide Chainfire with a logcat.

Whether it is solved , I installed SuperSU with recovery , and it works properly.
Thanks!! :laugh: :good:

Root Z1 via KingRoot

I rooted my Z1 C6903 5.0.2 14.5.A.0.270 last night using kingroot!
After installing the app a message appears saying root is unavailable for this device, but go ahead and start root anyway.
and voila

Yeah, it's rooted, but you still cannot have access to system partition.

I rooted .242 via Kingroot but i run the Nut's recovery installer no prompts appears on my phone at the stage where it says grant permission.
Which option did you choose to install the nut's recovery ?
Quote from the recovery installer:-
1. Installation on ROM rooted with SuperSU
2. Installation on ROM rooted with SuperUser
3. Installation on unrooted ROM using the TowelRoot method
4. Install ADB drivers to windows

really working on .270?

follow the instructions in this link to replace Kingroot with supersu http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html?m=1
after you finish run nut's recovery's install.bat and choose number 1 (with SuperSu)
