Lost root after OTA update, cant get back, please help

So i rooted my Samsung galaxy ring sphm840 with framaroot (the most recent version) and didnt know about the OTA survival option in superuser so when i updated i lost root or partially lost root (im not sure). i cant update the binary with superuser or supersu, i cant unistall superuser either.
Now when i try to root with the Gandalf exploit that worked the first time it throws a #13 error and fails
I tried every method under the sun that i know of to try and root this thing again but nothing has worked.
Any advice would be very helpful.

I also have been having problems getting root back after the recent OTA. The Gandalf option in Framaroot no longer works.
 
Well every few days I get this update but I attempt to update & it brinhs me into my CWM recovery by Kouma & it asks my permission to install the update so I hit 7 install & it fails and just reboots & I still have root. I also have SuperSU Pro with the option to keep root during o.t.a. updates checked in hopes that may save root too? Anyone have any roms, backups, kernels anything I can flash to this phone im so bored!!! LOL!!!
