Rom: ViperOneM8 1.8.0
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.

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.

Brilliant! That did it.
Thanks
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.
I can't seem to root my M8. I had done it before but had to do a factory reset. Since then, I try and flash the root file and root checker still says there is no root. I then tried downloading SuperSU from the play store. I have the SuperSU app on the phone, but I still don't have root access. I'm stumped.

I had this problem on arhd.Try to flash supersu.zip from chainfire's site then flash a custom kernel which disables read/write protection like elementalx.
Download rooting tools from here http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html
Extract and flash the boot.img file using fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then flash the zip Root and Busybox zip file using a custom recovery.
I'm not exactly new to the rooting scene nut lets just say i'm not that expert at it.
THe problem im now getting is on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2(Sgh-1317m) i had it rooted when i was on DN3 but then i wished to update
to 4.4.2, my root was gone. When I tried to re-root it via CF-Auto Root it flashes successfully no probs. But when i open SuperSU it says no SU binary installed and im not able to access root. Is there any way to get root successfully on 4.4.2 or do i have to get back to DN3.
Get back to me ASAP. :good:

Special Thanks To Chainfire who made rooting so damn easy!

This is my first post to XDA. I'm brand new to rooting though reasonably competent technically. Wanted to root for access to root-only apps, but wanted to wait for 4.4 in case I ended up unable to receive future updates. 4.4.2 OTA came in yesterday so I tried flashing. Used Odin to install TWRP recovery then used TWRP to load TeamEpic Root From Recovery. When done, root apps said I was not rooted. Loaded SuperSU and it said SU binary was missing and I should reroot. Found CF-Autoroot and loaded it through ODIN. Red-logo thing appeared and system recovered but apps still said no root. Loaded "Root Checker Basic" from play store and it confirmed still no root. Tried to run SuperSU but found it to be missing. Reloaded SuperSU from Play Store. As SuperSU was finishing installing, popup message said something about Root Checker wanting access. I said "grant" and then found that Boot Checker verified root access. So I'm on my way.:victory:
Suggestion to xtrmewhacker: remove SuperSU and reinstall from Play Store.
SuperSU couldn't install the latest binary? I did the same as you, install 4.4 stock, flash cf-auto root, installed supersu from play store.
Supersu then installed via normal (not twrp), disabled knox, and rebooted. Everything was fine after.

I'm having an issue on 4.4 where supersu just keeps crashing and I can't even open it. I've tried everything. At one point it opened and started to work but after I reset my phone its back to saying "unfortunately, supersu has stopped working"
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I managed to flash custom recovery through which i flashed DN3 so im at DN3 but still no root.

"Unfortunately,SuperSU has stopped working".
Help plz.

I got the same thing with cf-autoroot. I went in to philz touch and applied root there. Reboot and you should be able to dl from the market or do like I did and flash the zip version.

Good morning...
I've had my S6 with 6.0.1 "CDP2" "rooted and with twrp 3 for about one week.
However late last nite I noticed I lost root. "There is no SU binary installed and Supersu cannot install it".
Recovery was updated and default was installed..
I tried to root again, successfully "stated by ODIN" re-boots and goes through the phase as establishing TWRP, then default recovery is re-installed...
Any ideas ?
Thanks..
I have run into the exact same issue. Lost root with latest security update yesterday and can't seem to get it back
I was able to regain root. My mistake was trying to flash an older SuperSU. When I flashed the 2.71 version everything went fine. I did loose root after the OTA just needed to flash the right SuperSU to regain it.

I also need to flash new Super SU. But my recovery is not TWRP. It's Android recovery and has 3 options for Install update : Through ADB, External storage or Cashe. Which option to choose?

Flash the latest CF-Auto root, then flash TWRP. CF-AUTO root will knock out the kernels protections and allow you to flash TWRP.

Same thing happened to me. I had an OTA security update, lost root, but reflashed 2.71 SuperSu using TWRP to regain root.
