Hi,
I'm actually on ARHD 5.0.0 but i still get no root access with SuperSU. Binary gets updated properly but apps like Adaway, Titanium Backup, etc, tell me that i don't have root access.
How is that possible? Bootloader unlocked via HTCDev, latest CWM Recovery, flashing ROM and matching boot.img without any problems but obviously no root.
Flashed the latest SuperSu as flashable CWM zip without any success using root-requirering-apps
Hope someone can help me, never has had any problems like this with my previous HTC devices

My HTC EVO came with the 2.3 update already installed, I rooted using Revolutionary. The latest OTA update appeared on my phone yesterday, and I decided to go ahead and install it. It wouldn't install using Clockworkmod Recovery, so I installed RA recovery. The update then installed correctly, I didn't know that RA recovery would be able to finish the update since Clockworkmod didn't work, but it did. The update did not remove root privileges, my phone remained rooted after the update. I did have to run the superuser zip installation from recovery after the process because Titanium backup, or Rom Manager weren't able to acquire root privileges. But after booting to recovery and running the superuser zip file again, superuser privileges were restored. So I just wanted to let you guys know in case you were wondering if this would remove your s-off, it doesn't. I am now on 4.53.651.1, after updating to latest OTA with s-off. Again use RA recovery to install the update.
If u flashed the stock rom posted here on xda you didn't loose root because the rom was already rooted by the dev who uploaded it silly...

Hey welcome to the Evo forums and I am glad that worked out for you. But as the poster above me noted all you had to do was just flash a rooted 4.53 rom and you would of been fine. I would like to suggest not to try that in the future or really direct others to try since it may break root.
Also to save yourself some bashing I suggest you put post like these in the General section or Q&A and not Development. Since this section is just for Roms, Kernels and such.
Once again glad it worked out for you and enjoy
Thats not what I stated, I said my phone came with 2.3 preloaded, I rooted it using revolutionary, then took the ota update.
I will post in different section next time.

It's because Revo. replaces it with a custom Hboot that OTA's cannot overwrite, like the unrevoked method, if they pushed an update it would also update all the legit developer phones, so taking an ota can make you lose root, but not s-off, and root is easily obtained with s-off.
I rooted my EVO and installed custom ROMs until around the fourth OTA which said it removed rooting or something (didn't read everything, saw unroot and I was happy with the current version). However, it's been a long time and my phone has slown down plus there's Android updates. I don't remember what my rooting method was (it was the very first method when the phone came out), but do I have to 1) undo the original root and/or 2) use the newest root method for the latest superuser ROMs? I have root access, a bootloader, custom recovery...several tools already, but I don't now if they're updated for user the latest superuser ROMs or tools. Thank you.

As long as your s-off your fine all you have to do is flash a Rom. Make sure you make a backup and wipe everything except sd card. No need to unroot then reroot.

If you're s-off, just update your recovery (Amon Ra 2.3 has been the most stable for me) and flash a new rom. You may want to go ahead and update your radios and whatnot before flashing the rom. Remember to not pull the battery after the radio flashes.
The rom will have updated superuser etc as long as it's a recent rom.

Towelroot seems quite easy. Once I do that, what's the best way to install latest TWRP or CWM on rooted 4.4.2? I had always heard GooManager, but now it's showing as not supported and unavailable.
No need to root. Just load a custom recovery and flash a custom ROM.
Flash recovery with odin.

Like someone mentioned earlier, try flashing a custom recovery (I like philz touch myself) via odin. Once you access Recovery, if your phone isn't rooted upon trying to reboot you'll see a message that says "root priviliges may be lost, root (or something like it) binary su). Choose yes and your phone will be rooted once it boots. Install SuperSU (or kush's Superuser if you'd like) and then you'll see your phone is rooted.
I used TowelRoot and had absolutely no problems whatsoever. However, 4.4.2 seems to run extremely slow on the I747 so you might consider a custom ROM. That is the route I am looking into.
So I appear to have lost root after futzing around with a new kernel (xceed). I have not been able to figure out how to re-root, however. I'm on the latest 4.4.3 OTA and am S-OFF via javacard (and have verified that i'm still unlocked).
Here's what I've tried so far
Flashed two different kernels in TWRP (EliteLunar and Kangaroo)
Flashed several variants of SuperSU and Superuser zips
What else is there to try? Should I go back to CWM and flash SuperSU/Superuser from there? Am so lost

you should have made a nandroid when you first rooted.
if so wipe and restore it.
if not.. flash a stock-like ROM

many to choose from, including mine.
Would reflashing a custom ROM do the trick? Such a strange occurrence, haven't had any issue with root in the 1.5yrs I've had the One
EDIT: flashed BoneStock and root is back
Due to some problems I rooted my note 2 gt-n7100 using king root and successfully installed twrp custom recovery 2.8.0.1.
And now I am experiencing some problems due to it. So I need to uninstall or remove and I need my old android recovery to be installed in my device. Please help me as soon as you see this message.
You can download the phone's stock rom from sammobile.com, extract the recovery, and flash it.
If you want to make it simpler, you can re-flash the entire ROM which will return the phone to a stock configuration.
BTW, there is no need to root before installing TWRP. You can install TWRP from Odin and then, if you want root, flash supersu.zip from TWRP.
