Root My Phone is being extremly faulty SuperSU, TWRP

Welcome to our AndrioidForums, @Shadow Runner.

1. I take it you have a Kyocera Brigadier (on Verizon)?

2. Are you trying to install a the TWRP custom recovery? I ask this because most VZW devices have locked bootloaders and it's often very difficult to get a custom recovery installed despite being rooted...

3. Or, are you trying to install SuperSU from the Play Store? (that has nothing to do with TWRP, by the way...although you can install the UPDATE-SuperSU-v#.##.zip file from a custom recovery which includes SuperSU)

4. Are you rooted?

5. We've got a root area for your device: http://androidforums.com/forums/root-kyocera-brigadier.2801/ and I'll move your thread there so that others can chime-in with help for you.

Cheers!

A: yes I have a Kyocera Brigadier on Verizon, the Android version is 5.1.1

A: Yes I am installing TWRP from the prompt screen on SuperSU... and I made sure to unlock the bootloader (unlocking bootloader is an option now YAY "Unlock Oem I think is what it said, maybe not")

Q: Or, are you trying to install SuperSU from the Play Store? (that has nothing to do with TWRP, by the way...although you can install the UPDATE-SuperSU-v#.##.zip file from a custom recovery which includes SuperSU)

A: I didn't have any troubles with installing SuperSU or it's Binary's

Q: Are you rooted?
>
A: I think i'm rooted... I used Wondershare's MobileGo to Root the phone, and it said it was successful. However there is no evidence about that

BONUS: Thank you for uploading my post to another post! ir really helps me out.
ANOTHER BONUS?: I also posted this on my twitter feed.

Thank you for your detailed responses :).

Okay, let me ask you this, are these the popup images you're seeing from the SuperSU app?

(this is the only obvious connection I can see between SuperSU and TWRP)
