[Q] Super su binary needs to be updated. - Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys!
I was just already rooted the Galaxy Grand 2 with Kitkat and everytime
I going to the SuperSU app it says "SuperSU binary needs to be updated."
I go to CWM and reflash the Update_SuperSU_v2.02
After I rebooted, It still says Super SU binary needs to be updated.
How to fix this problem?

You need to Mount system partition in your Recovery and then Flash SuperSU.zip

That's how I actually rooted it It might be helpful if u cud tag the link of the img

[Q] [Problem] SU binary not found! How to Update!?

Situation : I'm on JellyBlast3.0.4 with Merruk 2.0 pre-final kernel.
After flashing kernel on JB3.0.4 .. i wanted to update su binary but could not.
Though the su is working fine (prompting and proving root access) but i'm unable to update its binary (ss attached below).
What i tried : Tried to re-flash 'update.zip' (though its already rooted) but cwm showed .....blah....blah.... E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (Status 7) Installation aborted.
Then tried to replace the old su binary from its location with the updated one(attached below)..but failed..since as soon as the old file was removed, root privilages were lost and i was popped with an error saying 'your device is not rooted'.
So, i decided to reflash the whole rom and kernel once again but in the end its the same result : cannot update su binary!!
And hence i'm Here
Please, help me out since i'm still new and would like to do it on my own but.. don't know much.
reflash rom and flash otas in order 1,2,3,4 , THEN update su binary and AFTER THAT install kernel

Maybe your update.zip is corrupted hmm. Try download another update.zip and install it via cwm. Here

Sir Anmol,
i cannot understand what exactly u mean by 'disable superuser' !!
and about removing superuser.apk : may i do that with root explorer or L2SD is explicitly required?
but i'm afraid i may not want to go with those 'removing' kind of steps because i already did the whole process of flashing frm start to end many times and now tired and want to settle with some less riskier ways!! :angel:
Anyway, thanks for your reply and support :highfive: :good:

Try flashing other kernel! No offense to the maker of meruk but that kernel is way outdated! Try Percy or Savie!

And by the above link, I think he means, download Super SU from the Play store...install. Once you open that app, it will tell you that you need to update your binary. Click "Normal" and it should work.
I had a major root issue here but I didn't want to wipe my work phone and deal with 5 hours of setup haha. This is what finally worked for me.

I would recommend flashing or temporarily booting a custom recovery and then flash the latest version of SuperSu which can be found here in recovery. This should give fix the binary need's to update error your encountering. Let me know if you still have questions.

I would recommend flashing SuperSU again in recovery and if that still doesn't work take a look at CF-Auto root which will allow you to gain root access.

People have reported that CF-Auto Root works fine with Android 4.3 on the Nexus 10. You can also always update the SuperSU app and binary after successfully rooting with CF-Auto Root.
Thx my prob was solved by appying latest recovery and latest supersu 1.65

Same problem here
On starting SuperSU, here’s what I get:
>The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?
[selected: Continue]
>If you have a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM, that can be used to (try to) install the SU binary. This is recommended for HTC devices. How would you like to install the SU binary? (Normal / TWRP/CWN)
[selected: Normal]
>Installing, please wait
>Installation failed!
As far as I can tell, I can’t install TRWP/CWN because the SuperSU binary is not updated, and I can’t update the the SuperSU binary unless TRWP/CWN is installed. This looks like a vicious circle, can anyone recommend a way out of it please?
Further background:
Device: Evolveo Xtraphone 4.5 Q4, rooted by SRSroot which recognised it as an HTC device.
Also attempted: updating from SD card with UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip, by running Superuser.apk from the zip folder. This takes me back to square one: “The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?” etc.
Any recommendations enormously appreciated, thanks!

[Q] Binaries aren't up to date - re root necessary

(I didn't find a similar thread here, sorry if this has no place here)
Hi, i recently rooted my Nexus 4 on 4.4.3 and i am experiencing some issues :
After installing the driver, and successfully unlocked the bootloader via Fastboot, i then installed ClockworkMod 6.0.2.3,
and then installed SuperSU 0.99 and tried to upgrade the binaries with SuperSU 1.99
When launching SuperSU, it tells me that my binaries aren't up to date and that i have to re-root my Nexus manually.
What should i try next ? Thanks in advance for your help.
Setup :
Nexus 4 16GB Black
Android 4.4.3

Hi, thank you for your answer.
I downloaded and flashed the SuperSU in the link you mentioned above, but that didn't make any difference. I heard SuperSU was supposed to take over on boot and ask for something, but my phone boots up just like it usually does, and when i try to open SuperSU, it tells me "there is no su binary installed and supersu cannot install it. this is a problem". Anybody knows what's next ? I'm completely lost ahah. Thanks again everyone for your help.

I followed all your steps, installed SuperSU going through the recovery mode. It seemed like everything was going ok, but when i tried to open SuperSU, the same message appeared :"There is no su binary installed and supersu cannot install it. this is a problem." and shut down right away. So, back to square one, i guess...

Man, you're having a heck of a time with this. It shouldn't be this hard. I had something similar a while back and I think I had to reflash the factory image and start all over again. not sure if you want to go that far as it will wipe the entire device

[ROOT][RECOVERY][ALL IN ONE] Cf-Autoroot-twrp-T700/705/800/805/Tab S- UPDATE 23/4/15

Updated CF-autoroot with latest Supersu binaries and combined TWRP recovery for SM-T800/SM-T805/T700/T705 Exynos only, Lollipop and Kitkat
I've noticed that quite a number of people seeking to root their device also flash TWRP afterwards, seeing as it's unnecessary to do both steps I have made an all in one package to root and install TWRP recovery.
Cf-autoroot has been updated with the latest Supersu binaries and TWRP has been updated with my fixed version (ADB root shell and Download mode fixes).
UPDATE - I have updated all versions with new builds. TWRP is now v2.8.6.2 and now includes the fixes recently pushed to their repo for encrypted backups. I have also addressed the slow wipe issue, cache, system, etc., which some have experienced and should now be much quicker.
Each device now has it's own build, this is to ensure that TWRP recovery build properties reflect the device it's installed on. ROMs such as CM12 should now install without issue.
Feedback is welcome.
Simply flash with ODIN. Odin 10.6

UPDATED TWRP:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3074633
NOTE: It is important to boot to recovery after flashing or twrp may not stick and will be replaced with stock recovery.
When flashing uncheck auto reboot in Odin, immediately after flashing manually reboot and boot into twrp.
Manual reboot is POWER + HOME +VOL DOWN then as soon as the screen goes blank immediately change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons.
Credits to chainfire for his great work.

I guess he made an unnecessary post and wanted an admin to delete his post, and not yours.

Why the forum doesn't allow users to delete their own posts is beyond me?

Unfortunately AT&T lock the bootloader, so atm you're stuck with a device that cannot be modified in any way.

After using the app with odin, root checker indicates that "Root access not properly configured or granted".
Root question comes up but can not check the box to allow.
Had an issue like this on a different device and it was corrected when I changed to ART, but do not know where it is in 5.0.2?
Just tried TWRP, and it is allowed.

Use Root Validator and post the output. Root checker doesn't give enough information.

Looks like you are rooted but are not granting root permission when asked.
Is the post below any solution to your problem?

If you still have problems you could open the Super su app and change in settings to 'Grant' root access by default.

BINGO!, it was Lux. I did an uninstall and rebooted and had ROOT.........WOW, strange that this would be the answer, but it worked for me at this moment.
Thanks
Not sure if it matters but what version of twrp is being installed?
