Lollipop Rooted knox OxO but the root is kinda useless - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5

Hi guys so I have recently taken the ota for lollipop after being unable to use mobile odin pro to update to lollipop and keep root. since mobile odin does not flash bootloaders and hidden files the phone simply would not boot and was not going into recovery mode either.
Today I was able to solve this by
first step I odin flashed the ne6 firmware I had to factory reset the phone to get It to boot after downgrading from lollipop
then I towelrooted and installed mobile odin pro
next I used mobile odin pro to flash the lollipop firmware but instead of letting the phone reboot after the flash, I set mobile odin pro to reboot into download mode instead.
from there I pc odin flashed the modem/bootloader file or "firmware only file that Artizan made here http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/general/dob1-firmware-file-t3036102
the t mobile screen was taking a long time so I factory reset and then it booted fine
now the strange thing is supersu was able to update the binary and grant permission to both root checker and busybox but neither app is acting properly . they both say that they were granted permission but busybox is not installing and root checker just hangs. oh well at least phone info and cpuz recognize that the phone is rooted but so far root apps are not working properly

[Q] Need a little help rooting NA7

I just updated my device from MK6 to NA7. My device was rooted..But obviously it is not rooted anymore after the upgrade. However, the same method i used to root MK6 isn't working for NA7. Any advice on how to regain root access? In the mean time i went back to MK6 and re-rooted my device until i can root the newer version..then i will re-update and root.
If you have Phil's touch recovery then go to Phil's settings and re root and after booting install supersu from play store and update binaries the normal way after opening app.. else go to chain fire thread of supersu and download zip file and flash it through recovery...

My phone is giving me problems for root

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 T99L with 4.3 version.. I recently decided to try to root it (I rooted my old phone, but since this one was new i dint root it before) and its giving me headaches!
I rooted it with CF Auto Root for the same model, I followed instructions (using Odin to root), and when my phone resets, I think its KNOX or the system itself blocks SuperSU. This is another problem, I open SuperSU and the first thing it appears is ''There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it'' and then it closes and theres a notification that SuperSU got blocked by the security thing. PLEASE HELP!
Btw: I cant find stock for t99l

Can't fix root. Do I need to flash recovery again?

So I just successfully installed CM13 on my i9300. Everything works fine, but I just found out I lost root rights.
I went and downloaded the Super SU app from the PlayStore, launched it and that gave an error that there's no SU binary installed and I need to manually root again.
So I downloaded UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip, put it on the sdcard, rebooted into CWM Recovery, installed the zip and booted back into the system (when prompted to fix boot I selected no as recommended), but now I STILL HAVE NO ROOT RIGHTS and the Super SU app still gives the same error.
Is there a specific SuperSU.zip I should be installing in recovery to make it work?
Or is something wrong with the recovery and do I need to flash that through Odin? (I don't think this is the case though, as flashing CM13 and gapps went completely fine)
Thanks for any isnight and tips
There is already Root option in developer settings.Can you try it?

In Developer Options I have set Root Access to Apps and ADB it didn't give any error, but doesn't seem to be doing anything either... In file manager I can't reach root, Root Checker app fails, Super SU gives than binary error, and another app that requires Root Access says I don't have it as well..

Flash rom again and dont flash SuperSu its better now without using SuperSU
I got the same problem. I tried to root with odin again but it didnt work...
Flash cm13, wipe data and cache and flash cm13 again. Cm13 should be pre rooted.

Hi Guys, I have the same problem too after CM13. Unfortunately rooting again with ODIN flashed stock recovery back and am stuck on CM13 now with no root and stock recovery. Can someone help please? Below is the detailed description of what happened.
----------------------------
1. My Samsung Galaxy SIII International (I9300) was rooted and I had CM11 stable/snapshot version there since last 2-3 weeks.
2. Yesterday, I tried upgrading the latest CM13 nightly for my device.
3. While doing so, and rebooting, it asked me the normal message "root possibly lost, fix, yes or no". I accidentally pressed no.
4. Then I noticed after CM13 was flashed, that I do not have root access anymore. Please note that at this point in time, I was not aware that it has to be explicitly enabled in developer options.
5. I came to know that I lost root when I tried to boot in to recovery (CWM) to install gapps.
6. Now, under the impression that I do not have root anymore, I tried to root again with Odin as I had been doing all these days.
- By doing that, ODIN removed my custom recovery (CWM) and flashed it with stock recovery.
- Though ODIN said PASS after reboot, I still do not have root access.
7. Removed cache, wipe data, and factory reset, multiple times but no help.
8. Enabled root for both apps and adb in Developer options, but no use.
9. I also tried KINGO root ( a very popular tool for SGS3 these days) but in vain.
10. Now, am stuck with CM13 and stock recovery and unable to do anything with ROM manager or anything else as I do not have root anymore.
11. Am able to install few apks for whatsapp and facebook for now and living with it, but it wouldn't let me install playstore apk too anymore.
Highly appreciate any quick feedback.
same here after rooting once cm13 by developer option, for some reason i had to use hide my root app, now unable to get root back
Its a problem with the s3, it forgets root. The most reliable is chainfire and sticking with a stock rom.
You must:
Wipe to factory,
flash an original rom via odin,
Boot straight to recovery and wipe to factory again,
Flash original rom again,
Boot straight to recovery and wipe to factory,
Allow the phone to boot.
You must flash at least twice and reset to factory at least twice, even tho I sad it thrice, to kill all remnants of the old rooted rom.
Then you can flash chainfire via odin and go from there.
