Worked on my D950

The latest version of SuperSU updates just fine. You need version 1.99 r4. Not the google play store version. Below is a link to the zip file extract it as its made for custom recoveries but the latest apk that you can install is under the folder common.

Did you check that original thread? There is a version of Super su that you can download in that thread that allows you to update. It is not the same version as in the market. I'd have to comb back through the thread to find the link and I can't right now, but its in there somewhere.

I should have added that part. I actually forgot it was a zip. This solution was what i did well though. Works well.

So how can you unroot, just flashing a stock rom or there's an alternative way?

root with towelroot. download supersu from play. let it update. in settings of supersu you can do full cleanup and unroot. I just did it to test. I used root checker to confirm. then went back and ran towelroot again.
