[Q] SuperSU "No binary installed..."

I rooted my SGS4 Active a while back. Had SuperSU and everything was working fine. But now a message pops up saying: "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!"
I disabled & re-installed SuperSU, and still the same problem.
1) Is it safe to re-root my device when it's already rooted, or will I have to unroot before I root again.
2) I've read that the SuperSU version on PlayStore isn't the right one, is there a link to the latest version?
Device specs:
(AT&T) Samsung Galaxy S4 Active
SAMSUNG-SGH-I537
Version 4.4.2
I have a link for rooting my version already, but I figured I should ask before I risk bricking my phone hahah.
My thanks for any assistance.

Yes its safe to re-root, just follow the same method you used to root it in the fist place and it should work. its happened to me a couple times and all i did was re-root following the original method used
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

This happened to me also when installing aosp rom... All I did was install superSU from play store and ran it when it was installed. It asked me to root the phone and after reboot all was fixed..

Your device is KK(4.4),so It's a ric problem,I think.
Please install the recovery(like CWM,TWRP) and install a zip file from developer page.

[Q] Problems rooting. Have s off and unlocked on lollipop.

Ok so I'm having this issue.... I do have s off and I'm unlocked from previously on KitKat. I flashed TWRP and tried flashing the latest SuperSU but it failed on multiple attempts. WinDroid says I'm already rooted when I try to do it but SuperSU gives me this message when I open it, "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!" Then it tells me to visit the forums for this problem so here I am.
SIDE NOTE:
I remember when I originally unlocked and rooted the phone I did a temp root because I was having an issue rooting. All this makes me assume that there's some type of root files, probably out of date, that is showing WinDroid that I'm rooted and preventing me from using SuperSU. I would try to locate them but for some reason (I assume Lollipop) I can't access my system files anymore. My ES File Explorer just shuts down when I try. I know one of you guys has got an answer for me.

Since you have TWRP installed do a android backup and install one of the rooted ROMs. Most will install SuperSu and BusyBox in the installation process.

You need to flash the latest version of supersu. My hunch tells me you aren't using the latest version. Also, when you post for help once please don't continue making similar posts and threads. It makes it very hard for you to get the help you are looking for. You never responded to the last post I made to you last night about to unlock your bootloader either.
Es file explorer is crashing because of the webview for Android update. Uninstall that update and it will work again.

Sorry I didn't see your response to my post. I only saw the others. Been trying to figure this stuff out since.
I think I flashed the latest version (2.46)? I used windroid. Pushed the file to the phone and installed it from the internal memory. Not sure of what the webview in Android update is or how to uninstall it. I will try the method you gave me in the other post. Thanks!
Update: Disabled webview for Android. Working now. Thanks!

Maybe you should download the flashable zip of supersu from chainfire site then flash it through your custom recovery, and i think you better use twrp recovery, it's more updated. Hope this could help you...

NHG47K Root?

So my unlocked Google Pixel was rooted until I recently received the NHG47K OTA update and now it is not....
SuperSU is showing installed, but when I open it up, I get a message saying that "There is no SuperSU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it."
I didn't expect to lose root as I don't believe I ever actually authorized the OTA update to get installed... just woke up one day to find that my phone is no longer rooted.
Can someone please recommend the most efficient method to regaining root from here?
Thanks

Boot to twrp and reflash the SU binary.

With the new OTA build, do I need an updated TWRP.img file and/or a newer SU binary?

Questions go in the "Google Pixel Questions & Answers" section.
Always use the latest of both unless you read otherwise - for example, if you read the TWRP thread, you'll see a lot of people have trouble with RC2, so just stick with RC1.

Boot to TWRP RC1, then install SU RC3. Assuming you don't want TWRP permanently installed.
