having the same issue but on the i9505. mine was on I9505XXUEMJ5. recently updated from 4.2.2 to 4.3 without any issues. Rooted with cf auto root and installed perfectly. But after reboot, superSU was not on installed and device was not rooted (verified through titanium backup and root checker). tried installing supersu through google play but says "there is no su binary installed..."
im also having trouble with recovery (recovery is not seandroid enforced) with the dead android (red triangle icon) when booting into recovery
don't know what happened. same procedure i followed before when i upgraded from 4.1 to 4.2.2 and did not encounter any issues.
i would appreciate any help. thanks.

ok, after reading and trying some things i read on the forums, i managed to 'repair' and install CWM recovery on my phone.
CWM works fine when booting to recovery but after normal boot, still no root access.
tried wiping dalvik cache, fix permissions, re-flashing supersu update (v1.65) but still after normal boot supersu still says "no su binary installed".
will try a few more ideas but if anyone can help, would greatly appreciate it.

[Q] GALAXY S5 - SM-G900F unable to boot TWRP or CWM

Hello. I have GALAXY S5 - SM-G900F Lollipop. I wanted to root it and i used Kingo. It said that root was successful i even had superSU app, but i couldn't open it and when i installed app that i know needs root access i didn't get prompted to allow it. So after some checking i concluded that root was not successful and wanted to revert it with kingo again. It said that S5 was not rooted and i couldn't root it again (was getting failed this time).
Then i wanted to do factory reset to 4.4.2 via mobile but each time i would select that option phone would just freeze. I booted into recovery TWRP that i installed previously and did hard wipe. After that i was without ROM, and installed lollipop using this tutorial (/watch?v=r_ifFnj9tbo). Everything was fine but i lost TWRP and was with stock recovery.
I wanted to root phone again using different method (/watch?v=iBNGeppOzGI) but when i installed TWRP via odin (i got success and phone rebooted as last time i installed it) and tried to boot into TWRP using button combinations phone would just load standard recovery instead. I also tried to install CWM, same results. Success message, phone reboots and it still loads stock recovery so i'm stuck now. Anyone has any idea how to install TWRP now?
Anyone got any idea, don't know what to do here. Any help appreciated.
Could you paragraph your post please, it hurts my brain trying to read it like that

Ya if u have twrp factory reset will fail from setting I belive but u can factory reset from twrp or u can odin stock and start over cf auto root shouldn't mess with anything. What I do is flash stock with odin then twrp with odin then upgrade twrp by flashing the latest Img with twrp then I flash a custom rom wich comes rooted.

Bootloop after installing TWRP from TWRP Manager

So after rooting my Samsung Galaxt S5 (SM-G900W8), I wanted to install TWRP. I did it from the TWRP Manager. It was succesfull. Then when I was in Recovery I wanted to reboot the phone. It then asked if I wanted to install SuperSU (which I already had). I pressed yes and when it rebooted, well it never booted. Im stuck in a bootloop. Any help ?
Thanks for posting this! I have the exact same problem man, the same exact thing and i couldnt figure out how to fix it. It's like we're related man... No matter what i do, bootloop. Can anyone help? it should be rather simple to fix im sure.
Tried rooting the phone again the way you did originally? CF AR or whatever you used?
Clear caches
Delete SuperSU using file explorer in TWRP
Flash stock ROM over the top of broken one
Factory reset

I found a fix, well its not really a fix. I used Samsung Kies to reset my phone. Then I tried installing the recovery again but this time when it asked me if I wanted to install SuperSU, I chose not to because I already had it installed and now it works. Thanks for the reply anyways.
Nice job, yea most guides tell you not to install SuperSU from TWRP if you already have it installed

Lost root access and can't get it back via Magisk. Help!

Galaxy S8 Exynos [SM-G950FD] Android Oreo 8.0.0
Hello. it's my first time posting here. So I've had a successful attempt at flashing TWRP and Magisk into my phone. Today I accidentally plugged in my charger while it was in the process of rebooting, so it entered my device into kind of a bootloop. I solved this by going into Download Mode and pressing 'Cancel', which prompted my device to successfully reboot and work again.
The problem is that I've somehow lost my root. None of my apps can get root access, CPU-Z says no root available, and Magisk Manager said "Magisk is not installed". Idk how I got to this because yesterday all was working, I assume it's because I got a bootloop or went into Download Mode.
I tried to install the official Magisk ZIP file from the Manager, go into recovery mode, and flash it via TWRP. Unfortunately this didn't work. This is the only solution I can come up with besides reflashing Stock and having to flash Magisk again and wipe all my current data. If anyone has any suggestions please comment down below as I'm kinda stuck rn. They would be greatly appreaciated!

Thanks. I tried the methods listed in the "Lost root randomly" section and unfortunately they didnt work. Do you have any other ideas? Maybe I could "Select and Patch a File" in Magisk's Install but afaik Magisk doesnt have its img./tar. file.
I should probably just flash a fresh stock and redo the root process, but then my data will be wiped and I dont really want that lol

Have you tried the uninstaller through magisk or twrp then try again with magisk.
When trying to re-install magisk do you get any errors.

Also if worried about losing apps/data do a backup before trying anything.
The easiest way is to flash firmware and start from scratch again but backup first.
