Root problem!

I just flashed Omnirom 4.4.2 kitkat. The rom flashed fine, but I lost root. I tried reflashing root from recovery, and it said it worked, but when I reboot and open SuperSU it gives a message that it cannot install the SU binary, and if I just upgraded to 4.3 I should check XDA forums for my device. is there another SU file I can flash that will work? or can I not get root back with this ROM?

Just as always,
There is a program for windows called kingoroot.
Use it and you got your root back.
Also, don't forget to update your SuperSu app to the latest version!
(In future, please search in existing topics or just google it. There are a lott of topics about the same problem!)

Lost Root

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.

Can't root after 4.4.4 OTA update.

I installed a stock recovery to update to 4.4.4 OTA. I then installed TWRP(openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-m8) through fastboot and attempted to install the super SU zip 2.00.
The file seemed to install properly as it gave me no errors, but I did not have root access when booting into the phone. I then tried CWM recovery (recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.8-m8). CWM installed the super SU 2.00 zip without any errors as well, but warned me before reboot that my root access was not found, I selected the option that "fixes" that, but still I am without root.
I like the 4.4.4 features but I don't want to be without root, please help me guys.

Let me know if you guys figure anything out for the stock rom. I just jumped on the latest cyanogenmod nighty till I figure this out.

Do you have s-off?
You should definitely get s-off as it makes everything so much easier.
But in the meantime, I would download the sunshine.apk and run it. It will reboot your phone and ask you to confirm and enter PayPal info. I believe your phone at this point has a soft root. If you now run superSU and allow it to install the binary, you should have root.

root

Rooting on Lollipop HTC M8

Hi,
I recently updated my phone to Lollipop. I am looking to root it. This will be the first time that I will be rooting my phone. I have unlocked the bootloader but when it comes to updating my phone to install TWRP I get the message "Download complete. We will now attempt to reboot into TWRP and install SuperSU. If this app just closed, try rebooting into TWRP manually". I click continue but nothing happens. I am also unsure how to manually update this? Please help I'm a noob to this stuff.
Thanks

Go to TWRP manually and install supersu.
Choose install and scroll all the way down and choose supersu.zip

I've managed to update the app but when in supersu I am now getting the error message saying, "There is no SU Binary installed, and supersu cannot install it. This is problem! If you just upgraded to android 5.0, you need to manually re-root". Does this mean I have to downgrade to kit kat?

No, it just means you need to get a flashable SuperSU zip, put it on the phone, and flash with TWRP.

Having the same issue here. Flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip but it says there's no binary. Enabled dev mode and root in CM12.1. Any ideas?
EDIT: Solved by installing the latest v2.46.

As you've discovered, v1.80 is very obsolete. Lollipop requires the latest version. I don't think a working root for LP was implemented in CuperSU until around v2.43 or thereabouts.
