For those having problem of updating Super SU binary after flashing rom [ROM][ARC/S][.587]JELLY SANDWICH 6.0 STABLE[22-09][Aroma][Uploaded] or any other rom that have the same problem.I found a way to fix it..
1. first try update binary using Super SU for few times, if still installation failed try to download old superuser through play store.
2. Disable superuser for Super SU in settings>Superuser
3. In old superuser, go to info and then tap the "tap to check updates" and update the binary.

Hello, My HTC Desire has
MIUI Android v. 4.1.1
Kernel v. 2.6.38.8
Build nr.2.8.17 MIUI
I am trying the above unsuccesfuly
SuperSU 0.96 will say Installation failed when trying to update (tried several times)
I then disabled as advised and I get a message that uninstallation failed (even if the button is then in the off position)
I install the old superuser, I tap to check updates and I get the following errors:
1. The checked version is 3.0 rather than 3.1.1 (which I think it's not an error since I am using an older version)
2. Everything is OK until is trying to Copying su to system... fail!
Any ideea why?
Thank you!
P.S. Nevermind, I found SU update FIX on googleplay and it did the job.

Thanks a bunch! That worked for me on an Android tablet with stock ROM. I had the same problem.

Thanks a ton for this fix! I was about to throw my phone out of the window but you saved its life.
In step 2. I think it's easier to say: Open SuperSU and deny root access on the Superuser prompt.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing (destructive).
I just say this because I couldn't find an option to add a denied application in Superuser. Maybe I didn't search too hard...
This works with Xperia-ICS v2i ROM port (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1855768).

Issue Resolved :"Supersu binary failed"
Amigos,
Who is having issue of SuperSU Binary update than they should download the attachment which is an update for SuperSU & install or flash it through "Recovery mode" & reboot. It takes while to get up your device but it works for me.
Cheers.

This is what worked for me:
1. Install Superuser by ChainsDD.
2. Install SuperSU.
3. When the Superuser prompt comes up, click allow.
4. Update the binaries.

Thanks

Worked for me!

tried everything, doesnt work.

Accidently flashed wrong SU binary, need help!!

My phone is a Huawei u8160 (AKA Vodafone 858) and I rooted it a long time ago with z4root and have had no problems eversince.... until recently when my mate got hold of my phone and accidently flashed an experimental/beta (possibly a binary for x86 systems) SU binary through CWM recovery. I thought I could fix this quite easily by using z4root to uninstall root and then do a fresh reinstall, but it would force close on me after a few seconds. I tried this method with both temporary and permanent root options but nothing worked. The button that pops up saying ''unroot'' wasn't there even though there is still a SU file in /system/xbin as it showed in Rom toolbox. I soon realised that the version of android i was running on my custom rom was not compatible with z4root, so i searched for how to root android version 2.3.9 pro. I dont know the name for that version and it must have been a bit of a flop because google didnt know it either. I dont know how akiro-E (the developer that cooked up the rom) got his hands on version 2.3.9 pro but i recommend to other devs reading this to not use it as there is not much compatibility.
Anyway, i found this apk made by chainsDD called gingerbreak and decided to give it a go. It said that it needed debugging on and that it might take a while, so i did that and pressed the root button. I left it to do its business, but 15 minutes later it was still trying to run the exploit so I stopped and removed it. When i got home later on i searched up how to root any phone and it came up with the pc program 'superoneclick'. I got it, opened it and clicked unroot. It did its thing but failed to remove su and the superuser app like it was meant to. So then i clicked on root and shell root but it did not reinstall properly and got the same error as in unroot error. I did all the steps multiple times but it still wouldnt remove/replace su from the xbin folder. I then reinstalled superuser 3.1.3 and tried using the binary updater on there. I noticed that the su installed was called 'legacy'. The updater was having a spaz and didnt want to update so i tried manually removing su with the root explorer in rom toolbox butvrealised that you needed root (a working one) to do that. Then i found an app on my sd called root cleaner. I tried quick and full cleaning but to no results except for a force close multiple times. I tried to fi the foce close issue by running the script for this in rom toolbox but you need root (surprise surprise) Then i tried flashing cwm recovery through fastboot as i have done lots of succesful times before. It flashed after putting my phone in download/debug mode (power and volume down) but i cant boot to it as you need proper root rights to do that.
I am going to use total commander to check if the permissions are set to 644 for the su binary, if not ill attempt to change them.
I know this a long desciption and technical question but does anyone know any ways to delete the retarded root from my phone and help me restore root as normal? This is a question for the more experienced users and devs on this forum but any help will be appreciated, cheers.

If you've got recovery, you can install one of these zips in recovery mode.
Google "superuser 3.1.3 arm signed zip" and click the first link that comes up - the androidsu one. Then download the superuser zip package that suits your device to your phones internal storage, reboot into recovery, install the zip and there you go! Your root is fixed.

Thanks
@odigITECH thanks for the help. I fixed the problem using your method. . . kind of. I flashed recovery via fastboot and then just flashed another rom from my sd card via cwm after I rebooted. Thanks for the help anyway, much appreciated!

No probs

[Q] How to Delete su-binary ? (lost root)

I root my phone using vroot and got a chinese kinguser, the problem is that I used a method to replace the kinguser and push
a new su-binary and busybox i think and after reboot the kinguser is gone and no supersu was replaced, I have tried installing a new
Supersu kinguser supersu but nothing works just got a message that D su-binary must be updated. Also tried flashing zips for rooting in stock
Recovery and tried many methods for unrooting but nothing works. I just want a suggestion how to delete the su in /system/xbin. TIA

you dont need to push superSU just install and update the SU binary and uninstall the king user

Ive tried that constantly and it fails to update the su binaries. Almost like I'm stuck with KingUser. Not that I mind since it seems to work, but it would be nice to be able to switch to superSU if I wanted.

Please reply if need more info let me know what ya need im realy hoping for some suggestions

I had this happened to me a while ago it actually ended up either being an app or an xposed module. Do you use xposed?

I had this problem with Cyanogen mod 11 and running exposed framework.
I switched ROMs and now I have no problems.

losing root
I don't use xposed im just using the root66 stock 4.3 rom I have tried different super user apps no help. Im currently using superSU 2.0 (not the one from market) so far its no longer losing root. I uninstalled the superSU app from the market and used the one I found on a different thread in the Q&A forum. thanks for asking about it I will post if it stops working or anything else goes skiddy wumpus.
Thanks guys.

I remember now. It was the Xposed module BootManager that was causing the issue for me. If you don't use that specific module then it might be a module or app that functions similarly to control startup permissions of apps at boot time.

Yes I agree I set the SU request during boot to grant superSU root access so the superSU app would protect SU binary from being deleted during boot.

well crap
Crap im once again losing root on restart/boot I've tried using different root methods to no avail. Could it be the SE for Android still says enforcing maybe my bootloader is locked but I don't know how to check if it is. I have not tried custom roms because I don't know which ones work for the t999l lte.

All of the roms are safe to try. They work fine for most people, but if you have problems you can always flash back to what you have now. (Don't forget to make a nandroid backup).
And the bootloader is not locked btw.
Might also help to flash your stock firmware Via Odin. Have you tried the root66 firmware?

su binary present in xbin but on reboot not executing
Ok im still having the same problem.
I have the su binary installed in the /system/xbin folder but when rebooting from recovery su binary is not detected by superSU but its still in the xbin folder.
This jpeg is when I have full root access is the setuid not present a problem? See errors on second jpeg.
I don't know what info is needed to find problem will someone tell me what info I should gather to help solve problem with su binary (like logcat/busybox version,) thanks

Did you try v1.94 or 2.00? I guess 2.13 didn't solve the problem.

thread closed use thread "keep losing root access"
There are 2 threads on the same issue. Please use Keep losing root access.

ADB help needed! Updated! Root lost.

I got my AFTV2 rooted and installed the latest and greatest rooted ROM. Got it running and verified root and granted rooted privileges on screen. Now I cant seem to get root access via adb. I still have TWRP and can boot into it. SU is still listed under apps as well. Below is the snapshot of what happens when I type in "su". Anybody that could point me in the right direction would be appreciated. Is it possible to lose root, still see the SU app and boot into TWRP? Or am i missing something in the command prompt? If I did lose root, can I just boot into TWRP and reflash, or even reflash to a previous version of the rooted ROM? And would it be a necessity to wipe as I would flashing a new ROM on my phone?
So after reflashing the rooted ROM, I think I found the point that I lose root access. I run the following in the command prompt to reenable the Playstation Vue app... I found this one a thread in here as a fix. Is there something in here that would trigger root to go bye bye. It makes the PS Vue app work , but no root right afterwards.
