I rarely ask for help, 'cause I can normally figure this stuff out.
I'm trying to help a friend root his EVO 4G, long distance. I don't have physical access to the device.
Followed the directions for root using revolutionary with hboot 2.16.
Revolutionary worked and flashed CWM recovery. He now shows Revolutionary with S-OFF. He booted into recovery, flashed the superuser apk then rebooted. The phone came up just fine, and the superuser app is installed, but NO ROOT.
Even when he tries to update the superuser app (in app) it says "Gaining root access........Fail".
Other apps report no root access.
Thoughts?
May have something to do with not having enough system space?
I could be completely off.

I was lucky enough to unlock my bootloader before Verizon dropped the hammer on that. I pushed TWRP and downloaded Superuser 3.2 RC3. TWRP works fine so I installed superuser.zip, I now have superuser in my app drawer but root checker is telling me that i'm not rooted. Could someone tell me what I did wrong?
Update

Update*
I installed the wrong superuser.zip file, I just did it again with the correct one and everything is fine.
I have an LG E973. I installed Cynaogenmod Stable version on it. The phone itself is rooted. But I want to install Clockwork Mod SuperUser to make it appear unrooted.
I need the device to be appear unrooted because I have to have work email working on this phone. Our work email uses Macfee EMM. Macfee EMM does not support rooted phone.
I was able to do that in the past. But I ran an update on Macfee EMM this weekend. And now it is saying it can't support rooted device.
But when I ran ClockworkMod Superuser, it says The Superuser Binary must be updated. I am including the screenshot. Any ideas why?
Any tips/advise is greatly appreciated.

Installed SuperSU, tried to run it, and it is giving this error message instead
Yes I upgraded my phone to Android 4.3 in Dec 2013. But it was working fine then. And I was able to install SuperUser, make my device appear unrooted.
Could someone explain. How do I manually re-root?

Sorry...is there a step to step instruction to this? I am still not an advanced user.
How did you install cyanogenmod?
Download zip from second link, put in your internal storage, boot phone into recovery, install zip/chose from sd card... And thats it
I had a rooted M8, however something was going wrong as it constantly rebooted. So I did a factory reset and that fixed the problem. However now it won't root for some reason. I have TWRP recovery and flashed the root file however when I do root checker it stated that I do not have root access. Anyone know what's wrong?

Have you tried flashing a different version of the root program? I assume it's SuperSU (From Chainfire) ? It still gave me root access on 1.94 I saw that he already updated to version 2.00 by now.
Perhaps try a different version and see what it does.

I used SuperSU. Should I try Super User?
Just use the normal install method from Google play. Twrp auto Installs the su binary the first time it is booted in to. Then just update super su via play store.

What is the install method via google play? I've only ever flashed a zip file.

Once booted into the os you should see the super su app. Go to play store and update it.

Somehow I have lost root on my phone???
I was messing with upgrading the firmware and radio.
The phone is working but I can't access any app which required root and SU.
Using Root Checker I got this message: Sorry! This device does not have proper root access.
How do I fix this???
Thx...
Download latest superuser binary and flash in recovery
Yeah, download newest supersu libraries and flash it or try wiping data of supersu app, this was also sometimes the problem.
Sent from Xperia Z1, or maybe not anymore
I installed a stock recovery to update to 4.4.4 OTA. I then installed TWRP(openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-m8) through fastboot and attempted to install the super SU zip 2.00.
The file seemed to install properly as it gave me no errors, but I did not have root access when booting into the phone. I then tried CWM recovery (recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.8-m8). CWM installed the super SU 2.00 zip without any errors as well, but warned me before reboot that my root access was not found, I selected the option that "fixes" that, but still I am without root.
I like the 4.4.4 features but I don't want to be without root, please help me guys.
Let me know if you guys figure anything out for the stock rom. I just jumped on the latest cyanogenmod nighty till I figure this out.
Do you have s-off?
You should definitely get s-off as it makes everything so much easier.
But in the meantime, I would download the sunshine.apk and run it. It will reboot your phone and ask you to confirm and enter PayPal info. I believe your phone at this point has a soft root. If you now run superSU and allow it to install the binary, you should have root.
