Hi
I have been using clockworkmod superuser on stock 4.3 with no problems. However I have just flashed a new kernel and am now getting the message that the SU binaries are out of date. I have tried re-flshing the superuser.zip with CWM but still have the same message and of course no root. Is it possible to replace superuser with the latest supersu and see if that gets my root back. If so how I do it and will I then be able to unistall the clockwork superuser app once supersu is up and running.
Thanks
Andy.

By that do you mean it replaces the superuser that is currently installed or adds it as an additional app. Sorry for the confusion but still a little confused with the various methods of obtaining root with the various superusers etc.

Thanks for the help and will let you know how I get on once I get it downloaded and installed.
Installed the zip and everything is now working ok and I have root back. The supersu app replaced the origional superuser app so nothing to uninstall/delete.
Thanks Again

I was updating superSU on my note 3 after root. I tried to use game killer, only to get the message that root wasn't available. I loaded up superSU and was told that the binary couldn't be found... I downloaded a root checker and it said that root access was there... So I unrooted and re rooted. Same deal.
I'm not sure how to fix the issue.
Can anyone please help

When I first got the phone it had a rom full of provider bloatware. I flashed another stock Roma to get rid of it. Then I flashed xnote and decided OT wasn't for me, so I went back to stock (without bloats)

Delete the apps from SU then when prompted give them permission again - like normal you will need to re-open them again and get the "Grant root access" prompt from SU...This may work, has for me everytime...
Only other thing I would do if this didn't work would be re-stock and start from scratch...

I have already reflashed stock back to my phone, re rooted and the problem still exsists
Currently I'm on stock again (downloaded from sammobile)
Every time I open superSU, it tells me there is a problem with the SU BINARY (when I was rooted. I'm not trying to use super SU unrooted lol)
Just rooted again and its still the same...
Reflash stock, full wipe from stock recovery, reroot.
Or u have done a full wipe from stock recovery after flash stock firmware?

Yeah, done all of that. Is there a way to manually wipe the SU binary and reinstall? The root checker app says root access is allowed
Is there another way to see if it's the SU binary or game killer having issues?

If you attempts to fix root access denied on game killer then it won't work. Gamekiller/gamecih/gameguardian doesn't work with android 4.3 and above.
I however tried gamecih with cm based rom last week & it worked

Its not a superSU issue, guess the dev needs to update the gamekiller app. Do you have root privileges with other root apps?

Try unrooting superSU from the app itself and reflash the latest (1.94 i think) superSU.zip in recovery or with Flashify (if compatible ,Playstore) flash CF Root in downloadmode. Hope that helps.

I have unrooted (flashing stock rom using recovery) and rerooted (using CF auto root... Or whatever it's called) many times.
Who knew it would be that simple? Towelroot has rooted my Note 3, I'm finally back with Titaniuam Backup Pro and Knox is 0x0!
Amazing.
However I've installed CF's SuperSU and it fails to update the binaries.
I've frozen KNOX in Titanium and rebooted but they still won't update.
Do I even need to update them?
Also, if I try to install CWM will that trip KNOX?

Download http://download.chainfire.eu/448/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r5.zip . Don't flash it. Unzip it. Then go to /common folder and install superuser.apk. Run SuperSU from App Drawer, and let binary to update. Now you have it working. And don't worry about disabling KNOX. Just disable it.
By flashing CWM you will trip knox.

Fantastic. thank you Alex. That worked perfectly. As you're in the know I'll ask you another question (or two)!
Because I don't want to trip knox I won't install CWM. As such I can't make a nandroid backup. I want to install the xposed framework and Wanam modules...but it strongly recommends a backup. Is it risky for me to do this?
Any idea what happens when an OTA update is release by Samsung?

Actually you can make nandroid backup without costume recovery. Just use Online Nandroid Backup. It makes nandroid backup in CWM or TWRP formats.
And then you can use Nandroid Manager to restore your backup. Although I still can't figure it out on how to restore a backup if you soft brick you phone.

Now you can install SuperSU from play store as it was updated and now it should update binaries without a problem. Install SuperSU, open it, press "update binaries", use "normal" method (not CWM/TWRP), when it will ask you to disable knox, press "disabled knox" and then reboot.
I'm having a similar issue that's pretty frustrating. I root my phone and install supersu, asks to disable knox and everything works great until about a day after, I try to open Supersu and it says I need to update binaries but it will not update. So I have to uninstall supersu, root again then install Supersu again! Right now it's working fine but I'm scared to open Supersu in fear that it will happen all over again. It's been a pain! I even tried flashing the supersu zip through Safestrap to see if it helps but it did the same thing. Is anyone having a similar issue or can anyone help with this?

Isn't the point of using towelroot to prevent tripping KNOX? When trying to update my SuperSU binaries it asks me to disable KNOX, won't this trip it?

As far as I understand, it disables software part of knox, so it (knox) wont prevent you to update binaries. Anyway it won't trip knox.

I have the same problem with binary issues on the towelroot method. It works at first but after a reboot it says "Update binary files" So i do that and then it says "Failed" I have the verizon Note 3 on 4.4.2. I found a temp fix for this when having issues with binary update. You don't have to re-root your phone.
1. Save the apk super su to your phone.
2. After having problems with binary then uninstall the supersu app from your phone
3. Install the supersu apk using "ES File Explorer" Then load the app it'll still say failed.
4. Reboot the phone and open up Supersu and you won't get the binary issue
I know its annoying work around but its what i have figured out and it works.
Guys, can you help with 2 questions please?
I have a I9505 with 4.4.2 branded rom (ZTO) with towel root (know still 0x0) and disable OTA updates, I can't find a perfect custom rom (always a feature not working, missing or the interface it's a mess/colorfull), now I just want the stock unbranded rom.
1 - What is the safest way to flash the stock rom without trip knox?
2- After that, can I enable back OTA updates with root?
Thanks!

I downloaded SuperSU from the link your provided, copied just the superuser.apk from /common folder to my Note 3 and then install.
Run SuperUser, which asked to disable KNOX (I clicked OK). KNOX disabled.
However, there is no prompt for the binary update. Am I doing anything wrong?
you could also flash the zip with mobile odin pro (available in play store)

Wouldn't this require TWRP? I don't have that, since installing TWRP will trip KNOX.

i am not tired of it, i enjoy helping people, giving back support i once recieved myself when i was a noob
but if i post something, you should read it, and maybe you are even smart enough to type in "mobile odin pro" in that play store instead of just commenting - if you had done that, you'd have seen that no custom recovery is required for flashing

hi people,
i am on firmware 800d20y, just bought the d800 today. i did the 'brute force' method, which initially worked, but after a short while, i lost root access. I literally have no idea what happened, the stump root app still says 'device is rooted', but the root checker app says i don't have root access. I tried a couple of different apps to check for root access, but to no avail.
any help, ANY at all to get root would help immensely! I'm trying to get a custom recovery (prob twrp) so i can flash a cm12 nightly rom...
im still a little new to this, any help would be appreciated!
You could try LGroot

AAhh i see. Now i know where you are standing at. you are using magisk. But do you have magisksu ? or keep having supersu as main root but magisk installed? . What i mean to say is, when you go into the magisk app, in the 2nd box of the main screen, does it shows supersu as root method? or magisksu? if it is magisksu then you dont need supersu, now, if it does says supersu, then you do have to fix the issue of supersu to unroot by using supersu function and then go directly into recovery mode and flash magisksu once again.
It says majisksu
pbedard said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then you dont need su (unless you want it). It is because you already have magisksu (which is pretty much doing the same as su). one overrides the other and then one gets thrown out. Usually to install magisk manually, one does as follows:
1) install magisk app from playstore
2) give supersu access (granted to magisk su)
3) use unroot function in supersu
4) flash magisk zip in recovery mode.
Now, there are other methods to achieve magisksu but the point is that maisksu has changed the binary (which is what SuperSU is telling you that you dont have).But that doesnt mean you are not rooted. you are already rooted with magisk and can achieve pretty much anything that you could achieve with supersu. (it will ask you for prompts asking you whether you want to give su access to "x" or "y" app. etc... Now, if you want SuperSU, you could try to flash the magisk uninstaller. Then do the process of rooting that has been specified for your phone. That should return the SU binary to normality . (this assuming you try to unroot and then flash SU back but didnt work)
hey guys bought my ls997 used. has root because i get the flash screen (untrusted)and twrp is installed and working. how do i find out which to flash ? any advantages to use supersu over magisk ?
i installed magisk manager and it states no root found.
Majisk u have to turn root access on majisk works alot better
