I've searched for this and couldn't find anyting
I followed the method in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833965
The only difference is I had to use Visionary 14, because I couldn't find version 11. Got through everything, S if off, and superuser is on my app list.
However, when I went to use rooted apps, it's telling me the phone isn't rooted.
Never mind... I figured this out.

So, I perm-rooted my G2. As one does.
I then installed the OTA, thinking it'd probably either fully unroot or the root would stick around.
Sadly, it's somewhere in between. The device thinks it's rooted whenever something tries to root, but it isn't and it fails any time something actually tries to make use of root permissions.
So, I installed VISIONary r12. I tried to get it to unroot or redo a permaroot, and it doesn't do either. Doesn't even attempt them. Or maybe it does, but nothing happens. Then when I try to temp root, it says it's already rooted, same as in r11.
Is there anyway to fix this up? I tried searching and I couldn't find anything.
From what I've read, there's a VISIONary r13 that's floating around that bypasses the 'already rooted' check. I can't confirm if it'll fix your issue. Newbie myself.
Here's hoping they're not lying, though it does make sense that such a feature would exist. Thanks for the info!
QUICK EDIT!
VISIONary r13 fixed this up. I had to temp root twice to get root in, then permaroot worked fine.
So I unlocked, rooted and flashed 4.0.4 last night (for the first time) and I installed Titanium Backup, but it says that it doesnt have root access, is it possible that I could have unlocked and flashed without rooting properly? I have the SuperUser app installed but no apps show in the list....

YOU LOST ROOT WHEN YOU WENT UP TO IT
HAPPENED TO ME TOO. I WAS FLUSTERED FOR A FEW DAYS BECAUSE MY SWISS ARMY KNIFE TOOL WASNT READY FOR RE ROOTING 4.0.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400871
THATLL HELP YOU QUICKLY GET ROOT BACK FOR 4.0.4 IN UNDER 5 MINS...
Try force stopping TiBU and then open it again; sometimes it gets confused.
thanks i'll have to give that a try when I get home, this isnt what I originally used to root/unlock is that ok? I used this one
Sorry for the caps. Left a website where I always post with em on
But easiest way to know you lost root is to try and update superuser. If it says failed...

Nope, seems I no longer have root access, I downloaded root checker from the app store and it says no root access on the phone.

Every OTA update disables root access. You need to re-root after every OTA update...
My phone has bieng acting up really weird lately, an update came out for it but ever since that update(my phone was rooted when this update took place), my apps that require root no longer work properly and superuser keeps denying every app without prompt, some apps like terminal emulator and root checker say it is not rooted even though hboot is unlocked and security is S-OFF. I can't flash roms like CWM to fix super user, and I've tried everything with super user but nothing works. I've tried everything that I've read on the forums. Please Help!!!
Sounds like you took an OTA update. Terrible idea. RUU back to stock and reroot.
So does that mean my hboot is all borked up? And if so how can I fix it?
Hi peeps, looked at rooting my nice new G3 and went in for the kill with towel root [emoji16] only to find out didn't support my version. Decided to go with purpledrake (not got there yet) found a couple of apps not working because of root which root checker says I don't have. My question is do I need to root now regardless even if only to unroot? To get things back to normal?

After rooting, did you install SuperSU?
Also, there's StumpRoot as a 3rd option.
That's just it. Towel root told me my phone wasn't supported and root checker says I don't have root, yet the app in question says I do so super user seems a bit pointless.

SuperSU is needed after you root to give apps root access. Try to install it, if it works, you're rooted and you can go along with your rooted apps.
Otherwise, try StumpRoot (Towel and Purple's didn't support my version either), install SuperSU and enjoy your root apps!
Tried to install it with no luck. Seems something's gone wrong somewhere.
Says I need to manually 're root of I just upgraded to android 4.3. As it can't install su binaries.

Time to give StumpRoot a shot then.
Yeah I think your right. The only issue left is the app I want to use fails when rooted and the root cloak module/app doesn't currently support it [emoji20]
Edit:
Well i tried stump root and got nowhere [emoji20] looking like purple is my only way forward. And if i want to use that particular app then root, unroot is the only way forward. [emoji45]
Hi, I have a brand new, stock, unlocked, international version GT-I9195I, which I updated to Android 4.4.4 before attempting to root. I attempted to follow the instructions given here for root access. I didn't realize until just now that these instructions were for a slightly different model, the GT-I9195, not the GT-I9195I.
Two questions: first, have I done any harm by attempting to flash the GT-I9195 recovery onto my GT-I9195I? (It still boots and appears to work normally.) Second, where are the instructions to get root access for this particular model (Baseband version I9195IXXU1AOB1)? I found a thread here for installing TWRP but it doesn't seem to mention how to get root...
Use kingroot for rooting...just install the app and press root
Sorry for taking so long to reply. Thanks for the advice! Kingroot was successful on the second attempt at obtaining root access.
However, I do have a follow-up question. Can I install a superuser app like SuperSU, then uninstall kingroot, and still retain root access? Kingroot's Purify feature shut down my alarm clock app and some others I want to run at startup, and toggling apps in the "Auto-start" setting of kingroot seems to have no effect. I uninstalled Purify but it still interferes.
Yes, you need to use Super Sume: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=darkslide.com.supersumepro
