My phone was working fine until this morning when I tried to start wifitether and got the message "no SU binary installed" Does this mean I lost root somehow and have to root it again?
When I open superSU it tells me there is no SU binary and SuperSU cannot install it.
Ok thats your first problem. you should NOT be using SuperSU app, its not compatible with the SU binaries we have installed on this phone. Until further notice this app is NOT compatible and wont be supported. Do to the binaries we used during the root process you must use the "superuser" app from the market. Some people have hacked in different binaries but unless it is specified that SuperSU is compatible then always is superuser.:angel:

Also if you have difficulties removing it then you may have to use tibu to freeze then uninstall SuperSU. If that doesnt work your only option will be ADB, it may just uninstall fine it may not it depends. But you need to get rid of it.
I was having issues like this. I had to swap between supersu and superuser. But it just never worked right. Once I flashed a new Rom it worked just fine.

Given the phone is S-On the only real way to ensure a permanent, functional root on stock would be to first remove the SuperSU binary and app.
This can be done directly from TWRP's file manager or ADB with the unsecured kernel:
The binary can be found at: /system/xbin/su
And the app can be found at: /system/app/superuser.apk
BOTH MUST be removed to avoid any issues
Next download and flash the following zip in TWRP or CWM:
http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip
At this point you should have fully functional root on stock
Your methods will remove the ability to provide root permissions to any apps...?

You need the binaries and the app to get root perm on anything from within the rom. I don't recommend this.

The zip contains both the superuser app and corresponding su binary.
My system folder only contains /bin and nothing else. is there another system folder I should be in?
I'm having the same issue-- in TWRP file manager I see only system/bin. If I try to delete the files with adb it complains about a read-only filesystem.
