Running stock 4.3 MK9, bootloader MJ5.
Experienced at least 10 times, that root is suddenly lost on reboot.
Have to reroot with CWM.
Any ideas to why this is happening?
Knox disabled.

Thanks for replying..
Already installed as system app.
Knox completely disabled with TB, but not deleted..
Strange thing is that it happened a lot one month ago after upgrade to 4.3, then worked fine for a long time, now happened twice in two days..

Either some app triggering this or u might cleaned the cache. ..

Hmm, still not solved, and actually getting worse, now I loose root quite often on reboot, not every time however..
Supersu is kept, but reports binary missing.

Rerooting with cwm/philz, but this also only occasionally works, sometimes having to reroot 4 times to get it to work.

When succesfully rooted, supersu installed as system app, but does not help..

Cannot get drketans multitool working - hangs after pressing next (sometimes before that).
Edit: got multitool basic to work, advance version crashes, but the basic version works. Rooting with this did not work however, still missing binary on reboot.

Any suggestions to what could be the culpritt here?

Okay so, different rom, same bootloader.

Do you use any of the following: avast antivirus, wanam xposed module, afwall+ ?
Have you frozen or deleted knox?
Using philz recovery?

Mine did not really do this until after having installed mj5 bootloader, but with the old 4.1.2 bootloader I experienced a lot of sudden reboots and force closes.
Dont know if it could be the bootloader causing the root problem. Or knox still doing something at boot?
