  2. I follow the instruction but after reboot, I try to open SuperSU but error message pop up saying" There is no SU binary installed, and the 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 forum for your device".........How should I do? Please advise.....Thank you
