[5.0] [GalaxyS5] [Root] Rooted properly? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody,
recently I updated my Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) to Android Lollipop 5.0, After that I downloaded CF Auto Root and it looked like it rooted perfectly, it rebooted in the screen with the red android pirate thingy and after that it rebooted my device with SuperSU installed on it. Then I started downloading some root apps to see if it worked. Root Checker said my device was rooted and then I downloaded GameCIH, it asked for root access and I granted the root access but when it was done loading it says: System Deny to Root. I searched the internet and found out that GameCIH doesn't work on Honeycomb or above, so i tried downloading SB Game Killer or Game Guardian, but both asked for root access but crashed after a couple of seconds so i tried re-rooting but when i opened SuperSU it sayed: There is no SU Binary installed, and SU can't install one. This is a problem! If you just switched to Android 5.0, then you need to re-root your device manually.
Can anyone help me with this problem, because I dont know what to do?

You need to go to "About Phone" in settings. Tap on "Build Number" until developer options is unlocked. Once unlocked go to Developer Options and enable the root access.

GT I9500 - Something went wrong with root?

Hey guys so i got a brand new GT I9500 today and first thing i did was attempt to root it. I've installed CWM + Clicked root device + New Method..
Now after rebooting and what not; Root checker shows that it IS rooter, meanwhile whenever i launch SuperSU it just shows the loading symbol.. Nor can any applications take root access. To top it off, i cant uninstall/update/reinstall supersu from now ..
Any suggestions?
Thanks
EDIT:
As dumb as it may be.. Somehow my SU updated via play store which messed up the binaries. I reinstalled SuperSU from CWM package and voila! Perfect now.

Hello Detection,
Yes i used ODIN v3.07
That's not the latest version
Have you got busybox installed. Some apps need busybox. Install it from playstore and install busybox.

There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it

Greetings Folks!!!
I am on CM12.1 Lollipop 5.1.1 Nightly, and ROOT access was working fine on my phone so far. When I launched Thunderzap today, I noticed that the app was waiting on "Requesting ROOT Privileges" for over 2 mins, and also the SuperSU app was missing from the app drawer. Thunderzap had been recently updated, and I suspect that might have triggered the root access to be requested again, but it wasn't given root access for some reason, and I never got a prompt to grant it root access. However, my other apps like ROOT Explorer, Shell Terminal Emulator etc, which weren't updated off lately, worked fine with root access. Not sure why now, but I thought reinstalling SuperSU-v2.46 might be a good idea at that time, and I flashed that file. And ever since I have completely lost my root access. When I launch the SuperSU app now, i get an error saying:- "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it"
Some help would be appreciated. Screenshots attached.
I've managed to fix the issue. I just re-flashed the CM-Update file (located in the pone's internal memory), and got some ROOT access prompt while trying to open Thunderzap again. Thereafter, I installed SuperSU from the Playstore and got my binary updated through it. :good:
