Just got a dev edition and I'm having trouble getting rooted. I followed the guide here very carefully and I've gotten TWRP installed and then I backed up. I accepted the TWRP prompt to install SuperSU and all seemed to have gone fine. Then I rebooted and tried opening the SuperSU Install app and it told me that the SuperSU install was not complete and that I had to download the SuperSU GUI from the Play Store... The app took me straight to the Play Store and it appeared to already have been installed so I hit Update. Nothing happened. I tried searching for SuperSU on the Play Store and found SuperSU myself and hit install... already installed though. I hit update. It updated. At this point the normal SuperSU icon was showing in my app drawer (the superman one with the pound sign on it --- or as the youngsters call it a 'hash tag'). I tried opening it but I'm getting "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it." I tried downloading SuperSU direct from chainfire's site, saved it to the download folder on my internal SD and then tried installing in TWRP. I'm getting "Zip Signature Verification Failed: 1" and "Error installing zip file '/cache/recovery/update.zip'.
I've tried reading around but don't want to just try a bunch of stuff without being sure it will work for this particular device. Any help much much much appreciated.
I finally got it working... I uninstalled the SuperSU from the Play Store and then went into TWRP and flashed the same version of SuperSU that was current in the Play Store... I was trying to flash an older version of SuperSU in TWRP... I flashed 2.4 in TWRP (which is the Play Store version) and then I had to reboot and go to Play Store and install it (b/c even though I flashed it, there still was no icon). That's it. Works.

So I just tried to root the phone with
CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100.tar
Odin
Now the SuperSu app says "Unfortunately SuperSu stopped"
As written in other forums,solution I tried to UPDATE it through Google Play Store, THERE IS NO UPDATE OPTION.
I tried to use the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.43 and flash it. But that too does not work as it fails while signature check and thus does nothing.
I tried to get an apk of supersu and tried to install that. It gives error "Supersu not installed"
I am stuck. I don't have root access and SuperSu is not working and it's not even updating.
I don't know what else to do.

Yes, N7100DDUEML4 build
I've been toying around with my new Verizon HTC One (m8) and decided to permroot earlier today (I've had temproot via weaksauce for a month). This took me forever because the only s-off and bootloader unlocker that would work (after hours of trying firewater and HTCdev) was Sunshine. I eventually paid for it and tried to root. I installed CWM at first but didn't realize that Supersu had to be present on my sd-card, so I rebooted. I then flashed TWRP over CWM and tried to root with it instead. Unfortunately, I had downloaded Supersu off the Play Store and (of course) didn't achieve root from the bootloader. That was a few hours ago.
Now I'm stuck with TWRP and no matter what I do, I cannot figure out how to root. I've flashed 3 different versions of Supersu from recovery and none of the zips I install offer me the option to root. I've tried to flash Supersu through adb sideload. I've even tried using ROM manager to reboot and install a copy of Supersu downloaded off my phone's Chrome (probably didn't work because I'm not rooted - it tells me "an error occurred while trying to run privileged commands").
I was under the impression that after installing the Supersu zip from recovery, you would be asked to root either directly after installation or upon rebooting. However, when I reboot, TWRP warns me that "There is no OS installed, are you sure you wish to reboot?" From what I've read, that normally indicates a soft-brick, but my phone is definitely not bricked (yet).
How can I flash Supersu in a way that gives me root?
I'm fairly competent with adb, but nowhere on the internet have I found a problem even remotely similar to mine....
Are you able to boot into twrp and which version do you have? Twrp will automatically ask if you want to install the su binary the first time you reboot from within twrp.
When you reboot you should see the supersu app. All you need do is update it via play store.

I downloaded and installed the Root Kit from recovery. It said install successful, but below that it said "Unable to mount /system." When I rebooted, I still didn't have root and Supersu hadn't downloaded. Do I need to do an ruu and just retry everything?

I can boot into twrp, and it's the most recent version from their website (for the Verizon HTC One). For some reason, it didn't ask me to install the su binary the first time I rebooted, and now I don't know how to do it.

I followed all the instructions in this thread to root my HTC M8: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699065&highlight=binary
I've got the TWRP recovery installed and did the "perm root" thing, which appeared to work as the SuperSU app was in the app launcher.
Now today when I tried to install xposed framework I discovered that the root apparently doesn't work. Opening up the SuperSU application gave this following warning:
"There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU can’t install it"
I googled around but didn't find anything concrete on what to do. I did find this one page that has a supposed fix in the comments, which I tried using but that hasn't done anything: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/root-new-htc-one-2014-m8/
I then thought I'd re-do the "perm root" step again, so I tried that using the all-in-one app, but now when I boot the phone up the SuperSU app doesn't show up in the app drawer at all and doesn't appear to be installed on the device at all, but the flashing step in the recovery doesn't give any errors at all.
So I'm stuck and don't know what to do now. I tried manually doing the flashing that the "perm root" step does but that hasn't given any other results either.
Searched the forum for "supersu binary" and found this thread, which had the solution to this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/help-accidentally-hit-ota-upgrade-t2852100
EDIT: Success!
Turns out I needed to re-flash my SuperSU binary from TWRP. I re-flashed the version I had first which actually removed the SuperSU apk. I re-downloaded it from Play Store, then flashed the 2.01 update. Runs like a charm.
Thanks to everyone for the help.

This worked for me. Just went to the store and got supersu. Upon running it, it tells me to upgrade, the Normal mode didn't work but the Recovery mode did. Now after that, root checker says I'm successfully rooted and another app I has can get root permissions too.
I used the CF-Auto-Root package, which contained Odin3-v3.07.exe and CF-Auto-Root-lt01wifi-lt01wifixx-smt310.tar.md5, to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 (SM T310) running Android 4.4.2 stock. This root installed some version of SuperSu and no custom recovery. I was able to run SuperSU and installed a couple of root apps like Greenify and Titanium BU. No problem. Then, after I purchased the Pro version and rebooted, SuperSU started requesting a binary update. The Normal update failed. No custom recovery was included with the root but I tried that option but it also failed with a signature verification error. After the signature error SuperSU did run and I was able to go into settings and did the uninstall/reinstall. Uninstalled the pro key and then reinstalled SuperSU from Play Store. This time when it asked to update binary, I chose Normal and it succeeded! I did not reinstall Pro. That lasted until I did the first power off. When it came back up, it asked to update binary. It still seems to function, as I did install another root app and it granted access. Any ideas where I go from here?

Use Odin to install a custom recovery; then flash the latest SuperSu zip in recovery.

Will that work if the tablet is already rooted and SuperSU is already installed? SuperSU is working as long as I don't run the UI. Sorry, I am new to this rooting stuff. Thanks for the response.
I have P5210 Tab3 10 Wifi
We used chainfire=> http://download.chainfire.eu/452/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip
And in our model yes we even write over old not working su. KK 4.4.2 does not like to be rooted and kills it. As gr8nole said. we too are force to install UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip on recovery. This one does survive KK attacks. Clearly this one, you installed from Recovery. But you can go to

I just flashed the latest twrp and the SuperSU 5.0 image coming from stock 5.0.2 last night and was having trouble with granting permissions, it would just get stuck and wouldn't let me choose anything. I went ahead and backed up in twrp and flashed a custom rom and all went well. Although I still have the sticking on the permission windows and the SuperSU app isn't showing up in the app tray and won't allow me to open it from the play store. I was recommended to flash the SuperSU 2.45 update which I did successfully in twrp and I'm still getting stuck on the permission window, any help or suggestions I would be very much appreciate. Thanks!
Edit: fixed it, just needed to uninstall and reinstall SuperSU! Thanks y'all

I am using stock L 5.0.2, and used Chainfire Auto Root to flash it on 5.0/.1/.2 without issue. I am running SuperSU 2.40 currently, and it does not appear to have an update pending on the Play store.
Did you try using 2.45 on a clean install that had not previously used 5.0? Wondering if something is getting gummed up from that, and sticking around on the older version.
Maybe try a fresh clean install on stock or whatever ROM you want and try 2.40/2.45 first before 5.0.
