Just updated my Nexus 5 using the OTA thread that went through fine,
I then proceeded to update SuperSU using the following link: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu which was the update v1.99r3.
Using TWRP I flashed this and root is working for most apps i have tested: titanium, adblock, root explorer. So root is back.
However whenever I load up SuperSU I keep getting the following message: "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?"
So of course I have done this and let it use TWRP to flash. Let the phone boot up and upgrade the app as it needed. However on next load up of the app it asks to do the same yet again.
I feel as though I'm forgetting something as it's been a while since I've done this. ( use to live on flashing when i had my SII)
My Nexus is Stock ROM. CF-Auto Rooted. TWRP Recovery. Nothing else is modified.
Help would be appreciated, even though I don't go into supersu all that often anyways.
Cheers all.
What if you upgrade it using the "normal" method?
If I do a normal install i get the following:
Installation failed!
Please reboot and try again.

That message is usually indicative of not having root in the first place. What if you flash it via TWRP then do it normally? Could TWRP be removing it with its "Fix root" option?
What about other recoveries? Do they allow root to stay?

How odd like I said my apps are all receiving their root permissions...
What file would we be talking about flashing? The Temp one SuperSU makes to flash when you click install via TWPR?
I don't have any other recoveries on my phone, so I wouldn't know about that last option.

Are they though? SuperSU grants permissions but if the binary is not present, its irrelevant. Can you actually do root things with the root apps that have the permissions?
Have you tried other binary download?

In SuperSU, do the TWRP flash install of the binary and reboot, then try the "normal" install immediately after

Theres a link in my signature to Philz recovery. In the settings is a root option, so the recovery itself can root without flashing any zips. Maybe try that if downloading an older flashable zip or the above hasnt worked.

It does seem that way Titanium has backed up an app just now, adblock has updated and Nova is hiding the time on the first screen.

Good news. The latest version of Philz, s it is CWM based - uses the latest Cyanogen sources to build. I update the CM sources everytime I build Philz so hopefully there should be fewer issues when new stuff comes out.

I'm currently using the 4.4.2 Gummy Rom and I somehow lost my root but I still have my TWRP recovery. I was going to go back to stock unrooted and use the Casual toolkit to get back to where I was, but my flash count is tipped.
I feel like I'm in a loop because I can't root on 4.4 and because I lost my root I can't use Triangle Away to fix my flash count, but I feel like I'm missing something. Is there anyway I can get my root back to use Triangle Away?
Thanks, any help is appreciated.

You don't need root to flash SuperSu in twrp, that's how you originally obtained root.

So I have watched lots of tutorial videos, used toolkits, etc. but I am unable to root my OPO!
I have unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP.
I have flashed SuperSU from TWRP 5-6 times, it says it is flashed successfully, but when I reboot, I don't have root.
I have also tried downloading a pre-rooted stock rom and flashed it but it had the same result!
Any ideas anyone? Btw I am on the latest stock rom (30O)

Are you planning to use a custom ROM or what is the goal you're trying to accomplish?
I understand that you're trying to root. But what ROM are you planning to use with ROOT?
Try a custom ROM, do the following
1. Download your ROM, Gapps (if needed), custom kernel (if you want), supersu http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
2. Put it on your phone
3. Boot into TWRP
4. Factory reset
5. Flash ROM, Gapps, custom kernel, supersu
6. Reboot
... and you should have root.

Ok, it does not hurt to try them all if need be. Just the way your post read I am sure he would of said he tried a custom rom but trying more than 1 is something I hope he at least did prior to posting.
OP how many roms have you tried?
Also when your phone boots up, give it a good 1-2 minute before you check if you have root.
Download the SuperSU from the link I provided in the previous post.
Use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck to check. A pop up will appear asking if you want to grant or deny access, grant it.
ok so I found the solution to my problem after flashing supersu using all available recoveries several times!
I unchecked the option "Respect CM root settings" in the SuperSU app and it worked!
btw I can't find a root access setting in the Developers Options. can you guys see it?!

Depending what ROM you're using, its missing built-in Superuser. Just use SuperSU
This afternoon I applied OTA 3.1 to my Shield Tablet, and reinstalled CWM and flashed supersu. My tablet booted correctly but I don't have root. If I open the SuperSU app, I get "there is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!" anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks
I also just noticed that CWM is not there now. It was there when I flashed it with fast boot, but now it disappeared from which I don't understand. Also just to clarify, SuperSU installed as a system app from the zip, I didn't download it from the play store.
Reflash recovery via fastboot, boot into CWM then reflash latest SuperSU in CWM.

I'm having the same problem.
Im also with the same problem, on 3.0 i used kingroot, but with 3.1 doesnt work also.
Not sure how it works with cwm, not sure if there's a fine manager. But in twrp try mounting system, go in to advanced>file manager and go to the folder 'system' and rename the file 'recovery-from-boot.p' to 'recovery-from-boot.bak' or something else, and flash cwm or twrp again. Then flash your super user again.
King root 4.5 works to root easily
Got it rooted again
I finally got it rooted again.
1) Put supersu.zip on to sd card.
2) Flashed TWRP with ADB fastboot.
3) Rebooted into recovery.
4) Flashed supersu.zip from the sd card.
5) Rebooted
After that it was finally rooted again. Hope this helps anybody else who has this problem.
Unfortunately though since I got my tablet when it first came out I have a recalled one. This will be my 4th RMA. LOL

Thanks I'll try that as soon as I can. In CWM there's no file manager but you can use an adb shell. I'm just a little nervous disabling a file named recover from bootloop. After i root do i re-enable it?
EDIT: This worked and now CWM sticks, but i still get the SU binary not installed error.

No. It restores stock recovery on first reboot.
Kingroot worked for me guys
What I don't understand is how the zip can install the SuperSU app as a system app, but not install the SU binary. Is it possible to manually copy the Su binary to my device? I have root access in recovery mode.
Dose anyone have any idea why this happens?
It works now with the new version of supersu

It dose say for 2.0, but it should work on everything. This is the "real" way, other methods are hacks that work only on certain versions. I prefer this method, it gives you the most insurance against damage, but you could always just use kingo root. Also, versions 2.x and 3.x are both lollipop.

Just out of curiosity, doesn't fastboot boot (image of recovery) just boot into the recovery and not flash it?
From previous experience, to reflash recovery you need something like flash_image or a way to write the image on the recovery partition... Correct me if I'm wrong...

You might have a system app removed or missing
Or maybe you have done something with the build prop as well if thats messed with that will also throw an error out.

What messages does it say in twrp, as you flash SuperSU? ... if you've already flashed SuperSU, the script could be restoring the backup boot.IMG, which could be your problem...
When I bump into that, personally; I just download the factory image, then edit the flash-all.sh script and remove the -w flag (which tells the script to not wipe the device), I save the script then execute it...
It flashes the image and I end up with an unaltered boot.IMG and system, then I flash SuperSU after....
I'm on the Sept 5 image using SuperSU sr3 ... SuperSU works like a charm.
After plenty of tiral and error I have finally rooted the phone.
