Root is Gone?

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687
My phone is running 4.3 Android (Same Version I used when Rooted in the first place)
Baseband Version: T999UVUEMJC
Please let me know what to do

check if supersu is working properly.

It isn't.
The following message pops up:
"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!
If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!"

My suggestion would be to back everything up and re flash root66.

Would I lose all my data?
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'm not sure if you are going to lose your data.. so that's why I said to back everything up, just in case.
And yes.. same method as before from that post.

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.

[Q] Where to find SU binaries for P600?

Hi All!
I'm stuck in the state where I cannot complete root after update. I have no idea why this happened. I used autoroot first time on a stock. Everything worked like a charm. However In order to install update I have installed xposed and few modules to hide reset flag. After that I was able to update stock. Problem is that after this running autoroot and installing stock recover does not help. I not getting root despite the fact that I see instalation successfully completed and other people report success.
So question is - were to get SU binaries for P600 and where to put them? I'm able to reboot in TWRP using ADB if this matter.
I would also glad to reflush latest stock, but I do not know how to do it, because KIES says i'm up to date.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I've never used a toolkit on my HTC devices, so I can't speak to their effectiveness. Perhaps they need an update to work with Lollipop.
I recommend using TWRP recovery (just because it's the one I used and I know it worked for me. Can't speak to CWM or Philz)
Flash the SuperSU update zip found here: http://download.chainfire.eu/695/SuperSU/

[Q] [IMPORTANT] Is there any way I can root htc one m8 Lolipop 5.0?

Someone if you know and tested it, can I root my htc one m8 device having the new firmware updated 5.0.1 lolipop??
Please anwser and if there is a way please send a link
THANKS A LOTTT!!

It's exactly the same as before.
Look for how do I root here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711073
You unlock bootloader. Flash a custom recovery... I suggest twrp. It will ask you when you exit if you want to root. Say yes.
Boot into android, install supersu if it or superuser aren't there already. (from play store)
Or just flash recovery . Install a rom , likely rooted already.

thanks for that but when I did it in my phone it says su binary out of date! what can I do now?

Can you explain everything you did, beginning to end. And exactly when/where you get that message?

I had already TWRP in my phone so I download your files. Opened the recovery and I did from there (install). When it finished rebooted the device and after that when i did a root check it said root access not properly install or sometihing

Open the SuperSU app, and it will prompt you to install the binaries. Select yes, of course.

i did that too nothing happened :/

This ^^^^
If it asks to update with a "normal" and "twrp/cwm" option... Try normal first. The other option if that doesn't work.

I tried the normal it didnt work, how I do the second, I pressed it but nothing happened!

I don't think you have twrp installed anymore, or not properly. You've flashed it with fastboot, since updating to lollipop? How did you update to lollipop?

Normal, I never had root before. Upgraded my phone to 5.0 and then i tried to root it

Rooted fine here with normal method. Just had to update super su.

OK, can you please walk us through exactly what steps to Root you took. From the beginning. And we'll see what happened.
?

i havent been able to find the option to disable fast boot so i havent even tried yet but if anyone has let me know

Either downgrade to Kitkat using TOT/KDZ and LG Upgrade Tool or if you want a one click method and trust Chinese downloads, then download Autorec and root package from:
http://pan.baidu.com/s/1o6YpUsE
Use password: rjte
Navigate to one of the folders which has kingroot app, which roots temporarily and then use autorecmm app for D858HK. This should downgrade bootloader to Kitkat, install TWRP, downgrade modem to compatible version and flash bumped MM boot image. Of course, permanent root with SuperSu will be there as well.
If you prefer DIY methods then there are a few other posts by me and @topet2k12001 which should be helpful.

Hi, you must install KingRoot latest version and Beta Super su 2.5.2. After this you would have enabled administrator permission.
In case of failure the update binaries in SuperSu, you must again install TWRP apps in order to install the custom recovery ( the latest version is 3.0) and finally, you must install the Supersu file (from recovery) in version 2.52 (is the one that works best on android Marhsmallow).

root is the problem, I am not able to root my Phone, I tried Kingroot, but no luck,

You must install to KingRoot in latest version from its official site. Then run the application and leaves that the process is complete. In the end, the application will show an error message indicating that it has not been possible to establish root on your phone. You should try to at least three times. If the error persists, install the application root check and verify if the root permissions have been granted.

I am not sure of the steps for your variant. You will try to do through of adb/console. Find on Internet how to obtain root permission from adb/console for your model.
