You have to root this phone via RECOVERY. Use attached file and UPDATE FROM SDCARD.
Also you must not update (after recovery root) SUPERUSER app via android-market to newer version!!! If you'll do it, then it all comes broken. And you have to do it once again.

Hi,
I followed the instructions but I'm getting Force Close message for superuser app. Even applying factory reset.

OK, that's no problem.
Attached package contains few another packages....(update.zip is the same like I uploaded here before)
1. Try to use "Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip" (this should be enough but I don't know why it isn't)
2. Reboot
3. Look at Superuser app
4. If Superuser app doesn't work then use "update.zip" once again
5. Reboot
6. Look at Superuser app
7. Now it should be working if not you can update Superuser app from market and try above procedure once again
Root this phone is really long term job. But never give up!! This phone is useless without root. I have been rooting this phone more then week.
Good luck and post if will you be successful.

just wondering since you have some experience with the phone.is there a custom rom for this phone or just the original one?

[Q] Lost root access?

Hi guys android newbie here! My friend rooted my Nexus 5 and it was working fine for a couple of weeks. Yesterday I tried to open SuperSU and it didn't work! Other apps that required root didn't work either.
I have been looking around and it seems OTA updates may have screwed up my root. Every time I try to open SuperSU it says: "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!" If you just upgraded to Android 4.3 (I have 4.4), you need to manual re-root. Consult the relevant forums for your device!" I have used root checker by joeykrim and it says "Sorry! this device does not have proper root access" (to confirm my root is busted).
My question is, is there any way to fix this without re-rooting? If I have to re-root, can I just directly re-root it again using something like Wugs rootkit?
Thank you very much in advance!

Just flash the newest version of supersu and you'll be good to go..... http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip

go to the play store, find supersu, install/update it, open tbe app and update your binaries.

I've tried to insyall /uninstall, wiping the cache and data with no luck. Right when I open the app the supersu binary problem comes up and I can't even get into it!

I can install/update to v1.8! I just can't open it. Gives me a "SU binary not installed" when I do!

Did you install/update from the playstore or flashed the new update?

Sorry if this is a stupid question .. but how/ do I flash this or what program do i use?
My friend helped me root it so i have no idea on how to do this @@ Very sorry.

Hmmm... from the link I posted in one of my last post, you can just use a useful app called "flashify" and flash it that way (the easiest way) but you need that file that is in the link obviously to do so haha. So afterwards when in flashify you'll get 3 simple options, boot image, recovery image, and zip file. choose zip file, go into your downloads folder from the file explorer from the app (which it should be there if you downloaded it off your phone) and let the app do the rest

Ok so I can't open flashify either. It also says I have lost root access and my superuser is busted. I have attached a screenshot!

Of course, you don't have root access, silly me lol Well guess we'll have to do it the hard way (it's not really that complicated) ok read carefully. Power off your phone, afterward hold the power and volume down buttons which should get you into the bootloader, cycle trough the options with the volume buttons and when you see recovery mode select it with the power button, now depending on which Recovery you have you'll have to choose the option that says install or install from sd card, again, depending on which one you have this will be slightly different. After doing i believe the paths will be the same, chose 0/ then look for the download/ folder which you should have that supersu.zip file, if you're using twrp recover it should be touch screen and you simply select it and swipe to install, if you're using cwm (which i do) you'' have to scroll with the volume buttons and select the file with the power button to install. I hope I was as clear as i could be, good luck

after going into recovery mode, there is just a android robot with his chest open and an exclamation mark! can't proceed after that.

Ouhhh you don't have a recovery then, do you have adb or any kind of toolkit?

I have wugs toolkit. but every time i try to do anything at all on it. It says ADB device not found? That seems to be preventing me from doing anything as well.

Do you have the adb drivers installed or/and usb debug turned on in developer settings?

how/where do i install adb drivers? I have not done so, and i doubt my friend did it when he rooted.
I do turn on usb debugging when i tried to unroot/root on wugs toolkit

In wugs toolkit it has a walk-through on how to do so, i suggest you use the RAW drivers option

I must be blind to not have seen this before. Thank you very much for your help I'll let you know how it goes!

Installed TWRP but SuperSU is not working!!

Installed TWRP but SuperSU is not working!!
installed TWRP via Inthiaano One Plus One Toolbox & have installed SuperSU...but Root Checker or titanium says i don't have root access!
What should i do?

Have you flashed supersu binary zip?

Why not just flash SuperSU manually? Why not just do everything manually? Toolkits are notoriously unreliable.

If you flash SuperSU and it doesn't show up in your drawer, go to the Play Store and download SuperSU by chainfire. This should prompt all of the binary updates and root access that you're looking for. I just updated to 44S and this happened to me.

If you used PHH to root, open the zip, open config.txt in a text editor, change "verity" to "noverity". Save and flash again.
You might need to flash back your stock boot image before flashing.
Edit: That link you posted there is full of misinformation.
Keeping system RO is best. It's not read-only/read-write that's causing it to roll back hosts.

I did that, but the flash fails with error 1.
I can't even install the original superuser-r310-beta.zip

Did you restore your stock boot image first?
Post your full build if you don't have it.

Flash In TWRP to Boot partition, then flash your superuser zip with "noverity" in config.txt

Solved, thank you =)
One more question: Will I still get OTA updates or will I have to apply them manually?

If you don't modify anything in /system, /product or /vendor you should still get OTA.
For example: installing Busybox modifies /system. Viper4Android modifies /vendor and /system.
If you need Busybox you should consider switching to Magiskv12. Its busybox is systemless (Doesn't modify anything).
And with Magisk you can use Android Pay and PokemonGO (and other apps that use SafetyNet).
MagiskHide is a little buggy on Mate 9, and other Huawei devices that use Nougat. If you enable it, fingerprint and pin will break after you reboot. If you just enable, run Android Pay, and disable after you will be fine.

HELP changes in BUILD prop

Recently i added few codes into build prop of phone and after changes i installed busybox.
When i tried flashing SuperSU_v2.46 via TWRP,after rebooting system it again asks me to update SU binaries?
Did i do some steps wrong in busybox?

Any time you flash or install SuperSU, it always asks you to update su binaries the first time you open SuperSU after flashing it or installing it.

But before i tried to add and change with busybox, Super Su zip installs apps and does not ask to update binary.

Any time, and I mean, ANY TIME you flash SuperSU or install SuperSU, the first time you actually open the SuperSU app, it prompts the user to update the su binaries, this is a default action, it is SUPPOSED to do this. I've had to this on every device that I've ever installed SuperSU on and I've used it on many different devices.

I'm trying to tell you that it isn't "a problem", it is completely normal. It isn't anything to be concerned about. It is doing exactly what it is supposed to do.

The only mistake you made is not allowing it to update the binaries when it asked. Just update the binaries and reboot the device and you're done.
Stop freaking out like something is wrong, it isn't. I told you, it is doing EXACTLY what it is supposed to do.
Do want to continue using SuperSU? If the answer is yes, update the binaries.
