[Q] Lost root access after flashing googy max kernel

Hello guys,

I recently attempted to flash the googy max kernel on my GT-I9505 and was successful. After doing so, i rebooted my device just for the sake of it(i don't imagine that rebooting can lose you root access). After rebooting, i attempted to use stweaks and it said that it didn't have root access. I then went ahead and opened up SuperSU and to my horror, it said :

"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-consult the relevant forums for your device!"

I then googled the problem and many users advised to flash the latest SuperSU zip using cwm recovery. I tried that twice but still didn't gain back root access. After that, i tried rooting my device again using CF-Autoroot using odin but still, i did not regain root access. Further, CF-Autoroot flashed the stock recovery and i lost cwm too...(makes it even worse) and i can't flash cwm because now i am not rooted! Root checker also says this device does not have proper root access. I would really appreciate help to regain root access! Thanks in advance.
I'm using a GT-I9505 running CM11 M9 snapshot build.

Thanks for the reply mate, will get back to you when I've tried it

Tried flashing SuperSU 2.01 but it didn't work... Will now try the philz way

I tried the philz way and then installed SuperSU from the play store but still I keep getting the same message! I'm running out of options I guess! What to do?? Please help

hey guys....
after a while, i contacted my brother and he advised me to re flash cm
i did so and flashed the latest superu and i gained back root access! (phew) i appreciate all the help you guys provided me. Thanks a lot xda and you guys!
