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*
I installed the wrong superuser.zip file, I just did it again with the correct one and everything is fine.

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.
download this file and flash it in recovery and you will have root http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip

Hey Guys,
I rooted my phone ages ago, but then I reset it also ages ago.
I still have SuperSU but I'm not sure if I am rooted.
I downloaded the app root checker and it said that I am not properly rooted.
Please advise.

Try to update su binary from inside SuperSU app. Else, try to update SuperSU app from playstore. Lastly, if none of the above work, reboot to your custom recovery (flash one if you need to), push SuperSU zip by Chainfire provided here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053), install that zip, reboot. Root is achieved again.
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.
Running N910PVPU4DPC1 [http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/development/rom-t3352832]
It's been running fine for the past month or so, then yesterday, I went to run Titanium Backup, and it said my phone no longer had root access.
---------------------------------------------
SuperSU
There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. There is a problem!
If you just upgraded to Android 5.0, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!
---------------------------------------------
I've tried to re-root via CF-Auto-Root, it'll complete without error, but still no root access.
Anyway I can get root back without blowing out and starting from scratch?
If you have recovery just flash SuperSU itself.

Thanks for your reply SaintZ93.
Just tried that via https://download.chainfire.eu/921/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip
Uninstalled my previous version of SuperSU, booted to TWRP 3.0.2-0, no errors on install, fire up SuperSU, I get the same error message as before.
I was really hoping to get SU back with out having to go and reinstall everything. Doesn't look like it's going to work out that way.
Actually I just noticed the same thing, its quite weird, I lost root also. I had root working fine with PD1 now its gone.
I believe a security update was pushed, well at I know one was on my Sprint Note 4, and I think it auto installed that's what made me lost root.
I simply flashed supersu from TWRP and I had root again.
Don't know if this would help, but I turned off firmware updates on my phone and haven't had an issue for the last 3 days.
I think the update was pushed out on Tuesday or Wednesday because I noticed I didn't have root on Thursday.

I believe that the SuperSu that comes with that ROM is systemless, which you would need to flash SuperSu 2.68
I am in the same boat.

That worked like a f'n charm!
I uninstalled SuperSU, downloaded SuperSU 2.68 [https://download.chainfire.eu/924/SuperSU], installed via TWRP, and verified!
Thanks for all the help!

can I stall SUPERSU 2.68 with stock recovery? how?
I extracted the 2.68 zip but can I install without a custom recovery?
