I've been trying to update the binaries for SuperSU, to no avail. It has been updated to the latest version through marketplace, but neither option, Normal or Custom, will update the binaries.
Here's my issue. I want to keep root on update, so I was going to try to use the persistent root option with SuperSU Pro and hope to get favorable results. I can't enable it until I update the binaries. So, how would I do this? I believe I'm on stock recovery, (3e?) so what would be the best way to proceed?
I have several updates that are left (I'm on 4.3 JSS15J), and my main goal is to update and keep root, or re-root, without losing any data.
Thanks guys.
Hey Could someone point me in the direction to Install root for an Updated OTA 4.3 and also the hotspot hack???? Is this even possible now that I've accepted the update?

Yep, it's possible. I just went through something similar. FYI: You'll trip the KNOX flag as well as the flash counter though. Just a heads up since at the moment that's a permanent consequence.

Ok thanks so much! I will Be flashing this to Pageplus, so the know wouldn't matter to me right?
Hey, also this doesn't tell me how to root... or am I missing something? Do I need to flash root through ODin?then flash recovery through Odin?
I have no idea how flashing to PagePlus might impact your course of action. I can tell you that I'm using a Sprint phone flashed to VZW and when the OTA update came through and buggered up my device I just grabbed one of the pre-rooted ROMs from the link I gave you earlier (along with all the other files I intended to install) and stashed everything in a folder on my phone. I then flashed CWM LTE v5 to my phone via ODIN3, after which I booted to Recovery Mode and just went down the list installing everything. I started with the rooted Odex ROM and worked my way down to the hotspot hack and the other optional mods.
I didn't make any attempt to recover my old system nor did I do a factory reset first. I just flashed and installed everything right over the broken system left by the OTA update and it seems to have worked flawlessly. YMMV
Hope that helps. Maybe someone who's got more experience can better guide you.

I used supersu to root my original phone on 4.1.1. this was maybe 2 years ago. i want to update to 4.4 but the root doesnt let me, so i uninstalled SuperSU hoping it would unroot and tried to update usin g"software update". still nothing--hitting the butting doesnt even register a click.
tried using odin to update but it stalls on one of the early processes (then i realized i needed root for this step!)
so i went to DL SuperSU again but installing it doesnt work: "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
What to do??
The simplest way to get to 4.4.2 via OTA updates would be to use Odin and flash back to completely stock 4.1.1.
Using Odin will wipe all data files on the phone.

Yes, actually, you can even upgrade to Lollipop even if SuperSu is installed (If you had flashed a recovery, you need replace it to stock one by flashing the stock recovery again, since Google may flash the OTA via stock recovery).
And yes, if you want to make sure not to have any issues with android L, you can uninstall SuperSu.
(Remember to uninstall frameworks like Xposed or BusyBox if installed before upgrading.)
Cheers!
I used the method from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/guide-how-to-root-tripping-knox-kitkat-t3129484 to root my SM-T800. So I'm on BOE3 right now with root. I want to update to BOJ1 and keep root.
When I do an update check, it tells me that I can't update because my device is modified. How do I get the update and keep root? Is there a guide that I have overlooked?
Thank you for the help.
I have noticed that the updater refuses to work not only when you have root, but sometimes even when you have TWRP installed without root. Anyways.. there are many options there, but I have no idea if they work without tripping knox bit (who cares about it anyways?).
The first thing you can try is to run the full unroot procedure from inside of supersu. This will remove root, and then you can try to install OTA update again. If that still doesn't work, you can backup your data, flash the KitKat ROM with odin, and then install OTA update. Or alternatively, just flash the latest Lollipop image (this will lose all your data and mods, and trip the knox).

Unless I'm misunderstanding, won't that make me lose root? I want to keep root.
All you need do is flash the firmware with FLASHFIRE. You will then keep root without tripping knox.
See the kingroot guide for more info.

Once you update to the latest ROM, then you can get root again, by flashing cf-autoroot or something else. (Again, this will set off the knox bit, but it's useless anyways)

OK. I just wasn't 100% sure that method would work for the newest update. Time to find where to download the latest firmware.
Alright, I flashed BOJ1 with Flashfire and I still have root. My bootloader says BOE3. Do I need to flash the BOJ1 bootloader? I believe the answer is yes, but just want to make sure.

If everything works then no, but may as well if you want the latest.
