Like the title says I've updated my phone when I had root, the root was working fine before the update (which is still 4.1.2) and now the root is corrupted. My phone is still ok, but SuperSU says that the binarys aren't there. /xbin I have a file called "su" but I can't delete it without root access. Now none of the apps that need root are letting me use them. I've factory reseted from Recovery and Backup And Reset and have done a Hard Reset from the Power + Down Button. I can see it can delete System files so is there also a computer app to access system or /root files w/o root? Oh yea, I already tried re rooting. It keeps saying my phone is incompatible. I used towelroot to root the first time and I did it again now and it says it's incompatible and I used framaroot now and it says Failed Error code #7. I also tried to unroot too. Thanks!

Help Root Curruption After Update

Nothing you can do except find a root method that works with the phone's current software. I take it you can't unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery (built for that specific phone model - very bad things happen if you install a recovery that was built for a different phone) and then use that to root?
Or, if it's possible for an unrooted F3, if you can reflash the phone completely back to the earlier stock software and re-root that?
Accepting an official update on a rooted device will always break root, and may do worse. And all a factory reset does is wipe user apps and data, it won't affect system software at all, so that cannot fix a problem with the ROM itself (which is what this is).
