I've rooted my phone a month and a half ago and today I noticed that none of my apps can acquire root. SuperSU says that there's no SU binary installed and it can't be installed.
What should I do? Do I just root again? Is the process different than it was for the first time?
And why did this happen?

I have tried to UNROOT my Verizon Note 3 (SM-N900V) 4.3/MJE using Kingo, but Kingo shows that I am NOT rooted and doesn’t provide the “Unroot” option as it should. I used Kingo to root my phone, and I haven’t installed any custom ROMs or recoveries other than upgrading to SuperSU Pro and installing Xposed Installer.
I’ve watched dozens of videos on unrooting, but little without Kingo. Unfortunately at the end of these videos, they all show that the Knox warranty being voided (0 x 1) and some can’t remove the Custom Padlock screen. Just wondering if anyone has successfully unrooted and not having the Custom Padlock screen or Knox tripped.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Also, sorry if I didn’t post this right as this is my very first post or thread.
Easy Solution to Kingo Unrooting Found
I contacted Kingo about a week ago and gave them a decent donation along with my question. Unfortunately I never got any response back whatsoever. I’m thinking that they are really busy. So, I went ahead and took the leap and did the work successfully myself.
1. I uninstalled Xposed Installer through its own uninstaller. Then I removed it along with Titanium Backup, and the Pro version through CleanMaster with no problems.
2. I was able to uninstall SuperSU through it’s own “Uninstall” feature, then rebooted.
3. The first thing I noticed was the “Custom” and Padlock logo still on my screen at bootup, but the great thing was that I booted up without any problems.
4. I had discovered that the SuperSu Pro apk was still present through the phone’s Application Manager and was able to uninstall it from there.
5. Finally and fearfully, I rebooted one more time.
Everything booted normally again, and this time, the “Custom” logo and padlock were finally gone! I checked the Knox counter and both flags showed 0 x 0. Kingo had a problem with their servers in early February and I tried to root about 15 times over a period of about ten days or so. Suddenly one evening, I was able to successfully root within 3 or 4 minutes, and it really was a one click ordeal. Just be aware that you may not be able to unroot with their program. Don’t fear. Unrooting manually the way I did reveals absolutely no traces of a previous root or that the phone had been tampered with. I’m not sure that anyone who has flashed a custom ROM or recovery would have the same results though, so proceed with caution.
Hi guys,
something really odd just happened. I have a rooted deviced - I rooted as soon as I received it - and it's been fine till yesterday when I installed the latest update 11.0-XNPH44S and all of a sudden it seems I have lost my root privileges, it's like I am not root anymore and none of the apps requiring root run anymore even SuperSU is telling me that "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!" What on earth is going on?!?!
That's completely normal, OTA updates remove root. Just flash SuperSU again and you'll be golden.

Musket Teams have been writing hacking exploits for wifi hotspots using android phones in the kali-linux Nethunter forums. As these exploits only require any rooted android phone not just Nexus, we have come across rooting problems with some models.
Here is a method we used to get an Lava_IRIS_500_Thai_S108_20140827 Kernal 3.4.67 Andoid 4.4.2 rooted
Previously we had rooted this phone using Kingo Root BUT the root was missing some components and supersu did not work properly. When we tried to update supersu the root vanished and the root could not be restored.
We reset the phone to factory - this may not be necessary
The factory reset has supersu loaded
Using a computer we ran Kingo Root. Kingo Root would run up to around 58% and fail. We did this serveral times.
Next we loaded on kingroot_4.1.0703.apk. Got an internet connection thru the phone on wifi and ran the apt. The apt said the root would not work but we tried it anyway.
kingroot_4.1.0703.apk would run up to a certain percent then the phone would reset. Each time we ran it again the percentage of completion rose. Soon it began updating the android programs at shutdown as the percentage of completion approached 60%. Finally at around 60% of completion kingroot stated the root had failed.
We went back to Kingo Root thru a computer and Kingo Root stated the phone was rooted even though King Root stated it had failed. On inspection with Root Checker - The root status was confirmed.
King Root had replaced supersu with Kinguser.
We loaded numerous programs requiring root and all worked perfectly better then when supersu was installed. If you get your phone rooted We suggest you leave Kinguser in place and get on with hacking.

Hi there guys!
I do have a s4 mini lte and for the past week I've tried almost everything when it comes to rooting my mobile.
THe first thing I tried was Kingoroot and then Kingroot but it looked like it wasn't possible to root it using them.
Then I installed CWM with Odin(I tried with TWRP but got Red error on Odin). I flashed the zip with CWM and when the phone booted up, it looked for updates for 5-10 secs and then I opened SuperSU (it was installed) it kept saying that there were no binary found.
I had to download the latest version of Supersu (2.79) and when I tried to flash it, I got "You lost root access"
FIx it? Yes/No
I pressed no since it was suggested on other forums to do so, but then I still got the same problem with SuperSU ( no binary found)
I did wipe cache,tried also with factory reset,disabled and then re-enabled supersu,updated it from playstore, but still no root.
How the hell am I supposed to root this stupid phone?
Thank you

Still scratching my head.
