As title.
I always rooted my gnex using an unsecure boot image.
Now I can boot with an unsecure boot image, I can push/chmod su, superuser and daemonsu using adb but than what should I do?
What should I do to root the phone?
Thanks.

You can either flash the SuperSU .zip by Chainfire in a custom recovery or you can take the .zip apart and do it manually. Push all of the files in the .zip to the corresponding locations on your phone and look at the updater-script to see if you need to do any other commands. Root in 4.3 is different and Chainfire's method basically uses a script to enable it at every boot. I have not read about any other superusers working for 4.3, though I could have missed it.

Galaxy Nexus 4.3 NO ROOT w/ SuperSU_1.51.zip
Ok XDA - you're my only hope. I've completely lost root after flashing the last two PA releases. I just flashed the most recent (dirty), flashed GApps, rebooted, Flashed SuperSU_1.51/zip, Wiped Dalvik/cache in TWRP, rebooted, SuperSU says no binary installed, please manually root. Losing my mind here, need to get rooted again, could someone lend me some backup?

Did you manage to solve this problem?
I've got the same problem now...(There is no SU Library installed... This is a problem!)
Previously I had root but SU Library wouldn't update, ChainFire told me to re-root which caused me to lose root completely, tried again to root, without any luck.

download the most current supersu.zip and flash it in recovery.
if you're using a toolkit (i bet you are) STOP IT.

about 2 minutes prior to your reply, I updated the "Toolkit" along with all the other items (supersu, img, etc..)
And after that, my device is rooted again.
Although, the main reason I started all of this was to update my device's build further, but it seems the OTA update is now gone... I'll have to wait for it appear again and see how it goes...

I did, though I'm fuzzy on how exactly, and no, no toolkits here. IIRC I ended up wiping, updating recovery, and then manually flashing, but I had to do it multiple times to get root to stick. Sorry I don't have any better info to provide, glad to hear a) I wasn't the only one who experienced this problem, and b) you got your root back.
So all of sudden, my rooted S3 is not rooted anymore.
I wanted to use Titanium Backup and it says
"Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will *not* work! Pleasre verify that your ROM is rooted, and try again.
This attempt was made using the "/system/xbin/su" command."
and then I tried my other root applications such as Greenify, App Ops and they are all saying my phone isn't rooted anymore.
I don't understand, I never upgraded my phone after I rooted and I never flashed a different rom and kept the Touchwiz Rom.
I used this guide to root my phone originally:

In terms of re flash root66, that means simply using Odin and re-rooting my phone like I do the first time right? Would it be the same instructions too?

I can't uninstall supersu as it gives me no option to do so. I can only uninstall all updates that were applied but not complete remove and then install it.
I had this happen on my Tmobile Galaxy S3.
I read somewhere else on XDA that you just had to install the latest SuperSU, in zip form, from recovery mode.
I havent posted enough here to be able to post a link, but you can find it on chainfires website.
Then reboot and it should work.
Hi friendly xda android enthusiasts. I have, after many issues, finally rooted my gt-n5110 using odin and cf-auto. Workered without a hitch. Odin passed, tab rebooted, and BAM, "superSU has stopped working". I immediately navigated myself over to the playstore to reinstall SuperSU and for the first time i have ever seen it wouldnt allow me to. It only gave me a choice to open. No update no uninstall. Going into my apps list it was not present on downloads but was available on device list. Clucked it and no option to uninstall, only to force stop or turn off. So it is incorporated as a system with no access to it. This has me stumped. I have only seen old threads with answers to this and they are temp fixes. Need to know what i can do to fix this on a permanent basis and if someone could help me understand how and why this issue occured it would give me a better understanding and possibly prevent further issues. Thanks in advance guys.
Try the flashable version in this post after you install a custom recovery with odin.

This may be a very stupid question but i have to be sure. As i stated the odin DID pass the auto root and tab rebooted. But along with the superSU error i ran root checker and was unable to obtain root. Im assuming its because supersu is not embedded. So with that said is it still ok to attempt to flash a recovery to the tab?

Yes. Recovery is independent of whether or not you are rooted. You can install it from Android using tools like Flashify once you are properly rooted, but Odin works fine as long as you have a version of recovery in that format.
Flashing SuperSU from a custom recovery once it is installed should fix the superuser problems you are having.

Doing now. Thankyou. Fingers crossed.
I had the same issue on my 5110. The flashable root only worked for me until I rebooted, then it would lose root. What ultimately worked for me was to unroot with Kingo. Then with USB debugging enabled, re-rooted with Kingo (which took around 10 min).

If flashing SuperSU from recovery doesn't result in a successful rooted system someone should let @Chainfire know. I've never had a problem rooting a stock ROM that way but let's see what @mattdiehl83 reports.

Hi guys sorry for the delay in update. I ended up using VM ware and it allowed to operate as windows on OS X. I installed TWRP, went into the file manager in TWRP and removed the superSU, i then flashed superSU and rebooted. Once back to the tablet i went and restored services to superSU and went into the play store. And finally the playstore gave me the option the update the superSU. And then the rest was all normal installation of superSU. Hope this thread helps anybody dealing with these issues.
Glad you got it working. :good:

I read all the post and didnt found something
YOU DONT NEED TO DELETE SUPERSU 2.0.1
Install 2.02 apk and go to supersu, then to settings and push to /system
This is the easiest way. the one you found: go to recovery delete that and this. download supersu 2.0.2 apk and install it not the recovery zip i mean the APK! i didnt say the flashable supersu zip.
oh wait, yes you are a intelligent boy, you know everything.

That's a bit of a dilemma.
Unfortunately Samsung does not support using fastboot and bootloader mode (they call it download mode) so that standard SDK tool Google provides for Windows, Linux and MAC OS X isn't applicable. Your best bet would be to find a Windows PC that you can use to flash the recovery with Odin since that is the most common and best documented method.
Edit: NVM, somehow I responded to an old post of yours.

There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. There is a problem!

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 keep having this problem. I just tried both KINGROOT and CF-AUTO ROOT.
After doing this whole process through ODIN. I then try to flash the latest TWRP from their website : dl.twrp.me/jfltetmo/twrp-3.2.0-0-jfltetmo.img.tar.html
Then after that finishes, I try to boot into recovery and it gives me the message: recovery is not seandroid enforcing and just sits there.
I have a tmobile s4.
and I also checked if I am indeed rooted by using an app from the play store to check root and it shows Im rooted.
Any help would be great.

I have the exact problem, can you kindly explain in details how you went about it? I already downloaded SkipSoft.
Same issues here, buddy.
I tried to work on solving it out for approximately 8 hours and still no sign of success. Tried to reflash stock OS back on the phone via ODIN and it went successful. Tried CF-Auto-root file and it went through successful. But when it only came to the TWRP file, it went successful onto flashing on ODIN's side, but now something is interfering with the boot up process onto TWRP now. Hopefully there's a alternative towards this issue, since i've been wanting to reflash a Nougat OS onto the device.
Edit: I give credit to @Krappa420 for the mention of "SkipSoft Unified Android Toolkit" because i just installed the program on my laptop now and it went successful. But since i already had other materials pre-installed, some others with ODIN and ADB installed can just download this TWRP version here: https://dl.twrp.me/jfltexx/twrp-2.7.0.0-jfltexx.img.html
Edit #2: Seems that the TWRP version is too old to flash some of the newer OS's, such as nougat itself. Will find a way to update TWRP without breaking the boot up process, like the past attempts
Edit #3: After fiddling with TWRP versions 2.7.0.0 and up, i managed to get it capped up to 3.1.1 any future versions will most likely not work, so you're capped at 3.1.1 Here's the link for flashing it with ODIN: https://dl.twrp.me/jfltexx/twrp-3.1.1-0-jfltexx.img.tar.html
So you twrp 3.1.1 and it will work right

It wouldn't really matter what order you're using.
You can use CF-Auto-Root to root it for you while you have stock recovery still, and after you can flash to TWRP and use a custom recovery afterwards
Or you can flash TWRP first and flash a SuperSU zip file afterwards and it'll give you root while maintaining to have TWRP installed.
But to sum it up, it wouldn't matter what order you choose. Help yourself

Before anything, try to install the SuperSU app over on the play store, if it says you're not rooted, you may have to restart the whole process within TWRP and reflash the SuperSU Zip file.
