S-off, Unlocked, Stock recovery. Just did the OTA. When it was finished went into SuperSU and am being told that there is no binary installed. Weak Sauce says I'm already rooted but I'm not. Even after OTA I'm still S-off and unlocked. Is this just a matter of flashing a different version of SuperSU over the current one I have installed? Current version of SuperSU I have is 1.94
Just reflash. And if you're s-off'd with SuperSU flashed, you don't need weaksauce anymore.

Hey,
I currently have my Sensation unlocked with revolutionary but I can not install the OTA to 2.3.4. I thought about flashing the stock RUU, update with the OTA and perform the official HTC bootloader unlock. But is there a way to install the superuser binary after that? I need su to restore my stuff with titanium backup.
I'm currently S-ON and have non rooted stock ROM. I wonder if my phone would be rootable if I apply the official OTA update? Since it installs new HBOOT, would revolutionary be able to S-OFF it?
Check the revolutionary.io website, it pre determines before you download whether if your current setup is rootable.
I don't know if you can S-OFF and root after the update, but I DO KNOW, that you better don't do it before the update.
I have S-OFFed my phone using revolutionary and rooted using this su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip through the clockworkmod. But after latest OTA update I wasn't able to boot anymore and it pretty messed up my phone. After 4 hours I was able to repair my totally useless phone hopefully.
Ok, I'm confused. I have already rooted, S-OFF, Super CID, etc and updated to OTA 3.18. I need this OTA 'cause I've had NO LUCK with other ROMS where it concerns bluetooth. They all crackle and make listening to audio unbearable, so I'm stuck with stock. So, I updated RUU'd to 2.20 then OTA'd to 3.18, still have S-OFF, Super CID, unlocked, etc, flashed TWRP 2.3.3.1, but being told by SuperSU that it cannot write binaries and to check to see if I have root. I know one cannot attain root if not having been rooted prior to 3.18, but since I'm already S-OFF'd etc, can't I? Was installing SuperSU from the Play Store the wrong way to go about it and must I flash via TWRP for perms to take or somethin'? HALP.
Answered my own question. I had to flash SuperSU through recovery, duh :silly:
I've been trying to get back to stock so I can send my phone in for warranty, I'm one of the unfortunate ones who is constantly stuck on edge. Current hboot is 2.15 and cid is ROGERS001, unfortunately there's no ruu out there for my hboot, so I had to use the method mentioned in this thread to get back onto a stock rom.
My problem now is even after unrooting using SuperSU, flashing the stock recovery and relocking my bootloader, it still says "tampered". One thing I've notice is that SuperSU is still present under my apps, when I try to open it it says the binary needs to be updated, and my options are to install the SU binary via cwm/twrp, or "normal". The cwm/twrp method just attempts to reboot into recovery and the "normal" method proceeds to an installation screen where it fails immediately.
Am I forced to s-off and SuperCID, then run a different ruu in order to get back to completely stock?
I have supercid, soff, and twrp installed.. Is there a binary I can flash to gain root on a stock RUU 5.18 install?
There is a binary mentioned in the OP of this thread that might the trick. Definitely recommend doing a TWRP backup first. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2423735
Just flash SuperSU through TWRP.
