CM10.1/2 has it's on superuser app in settings. Try to open it and see if you can update binaries.

There is no option to update su binary nor a pop out window comes to update it on its superuser app

su binary is Superuser itself.
If you install SuperSU from Google Play, and you "cleared" your phone the root access won't be removed. Since the thing that root your phone isn't SuperSU but it's the su binary.

So if i successfully update su binary i can get the full root access back

No root? Wtf?

I have used some application they need root. But some of them didn't work well. For example: GMD speed time, slash game buster and root checker said I'm not rooted. But it's false. I have rooted 4.0.3 than upgraded to jb than rooted again than unlocked the bootloader than flashed CM 10.2. What is the problem with these apps? Are they just simply not compatible with? Is there anyway to use these?

Run Root Checker to make sure that root access is enabled.

I m on cm 10.2 and root checker said I m rooted. When you run root checker, does the ask for root confirmation box appears? If not, check super user setting. May be it is auto denying the requests.

No it don't ask for root. I havi modified the settings to popup - nothing changed when its on auto enable - still says no root but for example in terminal I write su root it works fine.
The apps below are working great

I think that app should be patched directly on device you want to install it. Or maybe you had installed "normal application" on xsp first, didn't work, patched and tried to update? I had a problem with gta:sa where obb files blocked me from installing patched app. Deleted it and it worked just fine.

There are threads in dev section. I think custom fw is worth trying as well. Even better than stock. I didn't want to dabrand my phone when i got it and later go away from stock rom, but now i'm sure cfw are being done to be greater than stock. There you can find detailed instructions

How to unroot?

I've just rooted my device using geohot's towelroot.apk and now I can't use my ISIS wallet app for my free Jamba Juice smoothies. I'm searching around and I can't find a method to unroot.
Kies3 isn't working either as it says "firmware initialisation is not supported by this model"
PLEASE HELP!
Edit: I've also tried to use SuperSU to unroot, but it won't let me update the binaries and just force closes
Edit 2:
*** PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR ALL OTHER USERS THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE
I found out that you cannot use the SuperSU downloaded from the play store as it will just force close. Download the apk from this link: http://download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip
SuperSU should be able to update itself successfully after you open the application. Afterwards, you can use the permanent unroot option from the settings and that's it! I'm going to go get my free smoothie now.

I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES AND NEED TO UNROOT ALSO.

You should be able to download xposed, then rootcloak, and hide root from ISIS. Works on my M8.

Yes, I already found this out with my wife's AT&T Note 3. Xposed plus Rootcloak is the answer to Isis not working with root.

It does. I just tried. Now I'm trying Kies 3 to restore. Google play services wont work on my phone anymore. I thought this root was to good to be true. Now we have problems. I'm not the only one.

Yes. You will install the superuser apk that is floating around if you haven't already and then update the binaries after you open the app.
Then go to settings in the superuser app and do the permanent unroot. I also uninstalled the towel root app too just in case. Then reboot and you should be unrooted.
