Retaining Root on 4.4

Well I flashed 4.4 successfully using TWRP. But some how or another I've unrooted myself. I've tried everything that I can (aside from messing with ADB and the SDK directly) and I can't figure out how to re-root the device.
Help!

Install TWRP again if it's gone and then flash SuperSU

No dice. Says I'm unrooted.
Managed to get it working. Koush's Superuser app doesn't work for some reason. SuperSU does. I just hope they fixed the glitches with it causing unnecessary battery drain.

What were your steps?
You can obtain the last flashable zip file from here
Ok, you edited your post, so my one is obsolete

Can't install root (SU binary) on OP2 after manually updating to 2.1.2 OTA

Phone: OnePlus 2
OxygenOS: 2.1.2
Android version: 5.1.1 (Stock ROM)
I had rooted and decided to update from OxygenOS 2.1.1 to 2.1.2. I flashed the .zips OTA. When the phone rebooted completely, I check for root, but it had no root installed. I went to SuperSU and there it said that "SU binary is not installed and SuperSU can't install it." it also said that I would have to manually re-root the device. I tried to manually install the UPDATE-....zip file of SuperSU through TWRP but the problem was not solved. What to do!!!
Please help me on this. I have checked multiple threads but not a single have helped to solve my problem. Help please!!!

PHH's Root Disappeared

Hi Guys.
As the title suggests root access suddenly disappeared from my nexus 6p yesterday.
DigitalHigh rom 7.0 was flashed through the latest twrp (3.0.2-2) and everything was running fine. I got the notification that the SU binary is out of date from PHH's SuperUser. Opened it but nothing really happened. So I downloaded superSU and suddenly it prompted me that the device isn't rooted. Being unfamiliar with PHH's SU I decided to flash the latest SuperSu through TWRP but the phone wouldn't boot.
Right now it has been restored to a backup taken just before flashing SuperSU which means everything is running fine and even android pay works however there's no root access. Is there something specific that might have caused this?
Are there any ways to re-gain root?
Haven't gone through the process of a clean flash yet as the phone is needed for work however even if all of that is done the SU binary will still need to be updated. Is there a different method for updating PHH's root?
So far I have tried clearing cache etc. but noting worked.

Phhusson's superuser and SuperSU don't mix. If you're back to booted, but not rooted with Phh, you'll need to either flash one of the Nougat boot images from the nexus/angler folder or the latest superuser.zip (I think the latest is r229) from http://superuser.phh.me

SuperSU

I'm on a B09, bootloader unlocked and rooted with SuperSU 2.65 A2017G.
Except from the 2.65 version, is there another one working for the A2017G?
I want to get Xposed and if I do understand I need SuperSU 2.75 or above to get Xposed to work in systemless.
If there isn't another version could you guys help to get Xposed working on my phone?
That would be much appreciated.
EDIT: Well I'm dumb, I assumed Oki's guide only worked on the A2017U variant. Sorry guys :/

If you have the official version of TWRP you should be able to install the latest version of SuperSU.

Yeah I figured it out with the help of Oki's guide.
Thanks for the answer!

I'm having a problem where many apps do not get root unless I manually open SuperSU, which means that most root apps are not working properly because they can't work automatically. Is there another version of SuperSU or TWRP that I can flash to solve this problem?
I'm on A2017U B29 stock, SuperSU 2.79 flashed from TWRP 3.0.2-2

Did you make sure to disable system write protection? Boot into TWRP, open up the terminal emulator, and issue the command: reboot disemmcwp

I'm having a similar problem while flashing superuser. The error happens after the "patching sepolicy" line runs. The error prevents SuperSU from being installed at all. Any suggestions?

You need to flash twrp 3.0.3 or above and flash SuperSU 2.79

Latest SuperSU Causes Endless Loops on the Axon 7
Literally, every time I install the latest version of SuperSU on my axon I get an endless bootloop. These are SuperSU files I get directly from chainfire's website. There must be something im missing, or maybe im downloading the wrong version? Im not sure i was hoping to get some help. I just tried installing: SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.
>> Can anyone point me in the right direction of the latest SuperSU that works with the Axon 7 that doesnt bootloop it.
I remember that the Pixel phones had SuperSUs that were made for it. I am wondering does the same thing apply here?
I have installed everything right on my phone to the T. Everything was brand new stock.

How to change Superuser without flash stock ROM and lose all data

Does anybody know if it's possible to change Superuser without having to flash stock ROM?
I'm on stock 7.0 and when I tried to install SuperSU I've got a bootloop​ (wrong version of SuperSU, there wasn't the wright version available yet) so I found a guide to root my device using another supersu (phh superuser) and it's working perfectly.
I wonder if there is a way to change from Phh superuser to SuperSU (now there's a compatible version with 7.0 available) without having to flash stock ROM again and lose all the data.
(Sorry if there's a thread already talking about that but, if there is, I didn't find it)
There's a screenshot of the superuser app

Supersu installation using twrp
To install supersu you need twrp. You have to use systemless mode to install supersu. For systemless mode goto twrp then advanced>terminal
Type:
echo "SYSTEMLESS=true" > /data/.supersu
Then install Supersu.zip.
For latest supersu visit official supersu download page.
