su binary update unsuccessful - Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody. I wanted to root my device, so I installed super su flash recovey file v2.82 and super su apk file.
When I want to open super su app it shows a dialog and says "the SU binary needs to be updated". When I click on update button after few seconds it says "SU update unsuccessful". I reboot my phone several times and tried but didn't work.
I googled but didn't solved
My phone is Asus zenfone 2 laser ze550kl 6.0.1

Try to unroot your phone Nd install the SU again!MAYBE you just installed an older version which can't get any updates
Its recommended that u install magisk instead of regular SU.

Issues Installing SU

Flashed TWRP recovery and now when I install SU 2.49 phone keeps on saying root access is not properly installed . Is that due to the version of SU not compatible with 6.0 ??
How do I fix this ?

AAhh i see. Now i know where you are standing at. you are using magisk. But do you have magisksu ? or keep having supersu as main root but magisk installed? . What i mean to say is, when you go into the magisk app, in the 2nd box of the main screen, does it shows supersu as root method? or magisksu? if it is magisksu then you dont need supersu, now, if it does says supersu, then you do have to fix the issue of supersu to unroot by using supersu function and then go directly into recovery mode and flash magisksu once again.
It says majisksu

then you dont need su (unless you want it). It is because you already have magisksu (which is pretty much doing the same as su). one overrides the other and then one gets thrown out. Usually to install magisk manually, one does as follows:
1) install magisk app from playstore
2) give supersu access (granted to magisk su)
3) use unroot function in supersu
4) flash magisk zip in recovery mode.
Now, there are other methods to achieve magisksu but the point is that maisksu has changed the binary (which is what SuperSU is telling you that you dont have).But that doesnt mean you are not rooted. you are already rooted with magisk and can achieve pretty much anything that you could achieve with supersu. (it will ask you for prompts asking you whether you want to give su access to "x" or "y" app. etc... Now, if you want SuperSU, you could try to flash the magisk uninstaller. Then do the process of rooting that has been specified for your phone. That should return the SU binary to normality . (this assuming you try to unroot and then flash SU back but didnt work)
hey guys bought my ls997 used. has root because i get the flash screen (untrusted)and twrp is installed and working. how do i find out which to flash ? any advantages to use supersu over magisk ?
i installed magisk manager and it states no root found.
Majisk u have to turn root access on majisk works alot better

Cant Update SU Binary

Hey guys,
So when Super SU tells me binaries out of date and I try to update it is unsuccessful. At the moment flashing through TWRP will not work either as the latest modified SuperSU by badwolf that works with our device is 2.79.
Any idea how to update the Binaries ?
Thanks

SuperSU error: SU Binaries occupied

SuperSU updated yesterday like normal, required updating binaries and I used TRWP. I updated the app with my Titanium Backup. Another app updated today but when I tried to back it up Titanium had lost root. Opened SuperSU and got SU Binaries occupied. Later today, I powered up again, SuperSU and Titanium both had new updates. I thought the problem was reported and fixed but it still does the same thing! :crying: Anybody??
EDIT: A known issue, https://forum.xda-developers.com/ap...6-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703/page165
I had the same problem as well after SuperSU binary update
SuperSU 2.82 no loger have ability to replace Kingoroot and now it says "SU Binaries occupied". Really Chainfire?
SuperSU 2.79 was the best version.

Got this error too after installing 2.82. What I did was to Reinstall ("Cleanup to reinstall from Google Play" option in Settings) and then installed the 2.79 apk I have as backup. Got a prompt that SU binaries needed to be updated and so I did. Update was successful and seemed to do the trick since I'm not receiving the error and still have root.

The last SuperSU version I had before updating to 2.82 was 2.79. I was lucky I turned off automatic updates because the next SuperSU versions after 2.79 were buggy based on reviews. I updated to 2.82 because I thought bugs were already ironed out. It was a bad decision because I started having "SU Binaries occupied" error popping up. I solved this by reinstalling the 2.79 apk I had as backup.
Maybe you updated from a different SuperSU version that's why it didn't work. Make sure that you reinstalled the SuperSU apk version you were using before you upgraded to 2.82.
I've been reading the reviews and the most common reply by support is to flash the SuperSU binaries that corresponds to version 2.82. You can try that. Visit the XDA thread of SuperSU for the flashable zip.
If all things fail with SuperSU, you can try phh's Superuser as an alternative.

Sorry, I'm not an expert with these kinds of things. However, you can try visiting the XDA thread of SuperSU and ask for help there.
And also, I'll stay away from Kingroot if I were you. Search for "Kingroot malware/adware" on XDA for more information.

Install SuperSU 2.65 and update binary, then reboot, and update from Play Store, then update binary again (using "normal" option).

For me root works, but SuperSU SU Binaries are still "occupied" Device: Huawei y540
for me it helped to:
* install version 2.79
* run it and follow instructions
* update to 2.82
* reboot
* 2.82 works!
delete this please

No.
You need to root your mobile first. Kingroot works for me.
