Randomly losing root?

I'm not new to rooting (previously rooted my Droid X and my EVOLTE before I had to return it), but I'm not super knowledgeable so I miss things from time to time. I'm sorry if this problem is n00bish.

About:
Android ver. 4.1.1
Software 3.15.651.16 710RD
SDK level 4.63
Hboot 2.09
Bootloader reads Tampered/Unlocked

Why I want root:
To be able to use Ti Backup and Secure Settings (w/Tasker)

What I did:
I used this YouTube video to guide me through the unlocking/rooting process.
I made sure to change 2.3.1.0 to 2.3.3.0.
I tried SU v0.97, 0.99 and 1.00.
I tried Superuser 3.2 from the second post.

What I got:
Every time I try to install Helper for Secure Settings, it tells me I need BusyBox. When I try to install BusyBox from the market (Stericson and JRummy versions) it tells me I don't have root.
About 50% of the time I try to use Ti Backup, it says I don't have Root privileges, other times it works as it should.
I have tried about 5 root checker apps they give me different answers when I use them. Some always say I have root, one has said I don't every time.
When I open SuperSU, it tells me I need to update binary. When I try to, the phone reboots and nothing is changed.

I'm really just stumped, I'm sure it's something simple. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the fast update, all my root checkers are in agreement that I have root. Ti backup is working flawlessly, but I'm still having no luck installing BusyBox...anybody?

Re: [Resource][Guide][Root][ICS/JB]Unlock-Recovery-SuperSU for Evo 4G LTE

Ok so I finally got me one! =D
If I accept an ota to enjoy stock for a bit, it won't affect my ability to root, unlock the bootlader, and flash a custom recovery will it?

You shouldn't have a problem :D
I would also recommend trying to get s-off if you can it will make things so much easier down the road as htc is making it harder for us to modify our phones

That would be the dev unlock wouldn't it?

Htc dev unlocks you bootloader and s-off turns security off and gives you access to all partitions on your phone

So dirty raccoon is s-off? Sorry I'm confused. Order would be dev-unlock, s-off, then root and recovery? This is the first phone I've actually rooted, a guy at a store rooted my old one.

    Sup XDA :D
    This is my first(and hopefully many to come) contribution to the community.
    The reason I put this together is I have been seeing a lot of posts in Q&A about "How do I root my Evo 4G LTE?" I have also seen posts in "other threads" asking "How do I get recovery and root back after using the latest S-OFF exploit?"

    This is an updated and slightly modified version of Zedomax's root method.This is not my work I just did the legwork updating it.

    I updated the TWRP Recovery to the latest version 2.3.1.0 and updated the SuperSU.apk to a more up to date version. I also added the factory divers.

    This will work on all ICS/JB builds. Software versions (1.13.651.1 - 1.22.651.3 - 2.13.651.1 - 3.15.651.16 - 3.16.651.3 - 3.17.651.4 -3.17.651.5 - 4.13.651.3)



    <------If this helped you buy me a coffee :p

    If you used the latest S-OFF exploit you can still use this as far as I remember your bootloader will already be unlocked so just flash the recovery and SuperSU.apk.

    Using this method will NOT give you S-OFF it will help you unlock your bootloader(HTC-DEV) flash a custom recovery(TWRP) and install the Superuser app of your choice.

    What's included:
    Read Me Text (instructions,ADB commands, and whatnot)    <----- Updated 03/24/13
    Mac User Text (helpful tips for Mac Users) <---- Added 01/05/13

    TWRP openrecovery v2.5.0.0
    Superuser v 3.2 is post 2 and now added to all folders if anyone is having problems with SuperSU updating binaries <---- Added 12/22/12
    SuperSU.apk v1.25

    Changelog:
