It says su binary needs to be updated although nothing is updated. The root is verified. Even titanium backup is not working properly.

I thin we have to wait a little bit for the new update of Superuser.

super su needs to be flashed from recovery in 5.0 , flash a custom recovery like philz or TWRP, get the supersu zip from xda it is there on s4 forum , flash it from recovery.

Yes, exactly. That's the most wise way to install SuperSU. Get the zip, the latest version is 2.46, and flash it in recovery, be it TWRP or whichever you prefer. No need to install any app from Play, SU will be automatically installed.

I am getting bootloop when installing xposed framework using recovery method.

Xposed on Lollipop is in beta stage and is known to cause bootloop on some Samsung phones. Check on XDA about this.

For sammy phones I am guessing Xposed is still not working properly. Wait for a stable build.
