it's not rooted anymore i have the supersu app but it says no binaries found, also when i open my terminal and type su it says that it's not found, and i cannot open apps that need root!!
If you still have soff and a custom recovery than you just need to wipe clean and install a new ROM, the one you installed has some issues

BusyBox
You haven't Lost your root access !!!
Just download the app *BusyBox* , & install the latest Binary from it.... (menu > install ....! )
& also, if you've switched to MIUI .... normally we have to grant root access to SU for the first time from settings .... i Dont remember in which build etc.....but i had to do it once !
Let me know what happens !:good:

So i have rooted the htc DZ and tried out multiple roms... Till now i used to use the CWR to wipe the data/cache before loading a new rom.. Yesterday i decided to try SuperWipeG2+ without reading much(not trying to understand what it exactly does).
After i flashed it, i by mistake hit the reboot now in CWR and it hung at the boot screen. To fix this i removed the battery and put it back in,since power on was not working. When i did so it went to HBoot and started flashing the 1.34 PC10IMG file present in the sdcard which i did not remove after rooting.
Query:-
1) Should i have removed 1.34 PC10IMG?
2)If i ever face a similar situation like mentioned above will it enter the recovery,if the1.34 PC10IMG file was not present ?(i did try to do away with updating the 1.34 PC10IMG,but always entered the HBoot on every subsequent restart and never allowed me to change the options from flashboot to anything else).
2a)If it does not enter recovery, then what is it to be done?
3)Currently i have stock 1.34 rom which says i do not have root(check this by installing rom manger )! but when i check Boot page, it says S-off and other Hboot etc.
I did run from step 1. to root DZ and it was back to good old rooted condition.
(Did a lot searching and reading but i couldn't answer the above questions- hence the thread also just not comfortable experimenting too much,might end bricking the phone )
Non-rooting query:-
4)Also what is use of app2sd/partition of sd-card!
i mean, as per my understanding this(app2sd) can"only"be used when there is partition in you sd-card which allows apps to be moved to sd-card,but when using MIUI rom i still can move most of the user apps to sd-card..
If these questions has been already asked and replied or even already explained please forgive me for creating this thread and please provide the link.. Would appreciate a lot..
Thanks..
Anyone ... Sorry abt the long post...

I only know no.4
Since Froyo, you dont need this app. You can move it to your sd card under the Application setting. But, not all apps can be moved (such as task manager, pre installed app). You dont need to create partition, just install it and run it.
Anyway, since our DZ has internal memory 1,5 GB, I never moved apps to sd card
Cheers
Thanks ... 1 cleared.. 3 to go...

For the other q's
Yes you should remove the PC10IMG from your sdcard.otherwise you can't get into recovery through bootloader.
(although you could boot to fastboot, and if you have the eng bootloader boot a recovery through terminal/cmd)
Did you run the "./root_psn" step of the rooting guide? If not that might be the error with not perm-root

ROM Manager is just checking for su, I believe; try downloading SuperUser by ChainsDD from the market and flashing the su binary with it and then loading ROM Manager.

When you installed the application, did you also flash the binary? Launch the application, go into preferences and scroll to the bottom for the option to flash the binary

i have dhd with s-off
rom ver is 3.12 with sence 3.0
i want to root my device but DONOT want any custom recovery on my device ..
Why do you want root access without cm recovery?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Well if you already have S-off what do you mean by that you want to root your phone? Isn't is already rooted? Also Clockworkmod recovery is used to have root access so that we can flash Custom ROMs, if you don't want any custom ROM why at the first instant you want to root your device?
i do not want to use cm recovery or any option it offers so why to flash that area ...
just need root access over system for using softwares that require root access ..

If you have S-OFF then you probably should have root. Then you can overite system files!
no root is not there ....
even via adb commands root access is missing
Then how did you get S-OFF?

Hi,
I just joined the forums this evening. This is my first post.
Basically I want to figure out how to re-root my (2013) Nexus 7 which I just updated to 4.4.2.
I installed 4.4 and had to re-root, of course losing all my settings and apps, having to reinstall and reset everything to my liking.
I have never made a backup.
I just now upgraded to 4.4.2 update, and all my settings and apps are in tact, however, I lost root.
I do not want to re-root and reinstall everything again, so I need help on recovery and steps involved.
I am still unlocked, and I have the TWRP installed as well as SuperSU and RecoveryTools.
Please advise how to make a backup and re-root in the least painful way.
(PS I did use the Wug'sFresh kit to do my rooting the first time around, and am not very comfortable using the SDK etc)
Thanks!
-Mike
Same issue. Rooted it a few days ago, reinstalled many things and now it told me to root again... omg...

Hi,
It is very frustrating I want to be able to keep all my apps/settings and configurations after root, but I don't know how.
I think there is an app that allows you to keep your root after upgrades, but I haven't really figured out which way to do things.
Any pros out there who can help?
Everything is fine on my tablet right now, just the way I like it BESIDES being unrooted.

have you tried flashing the SuperSU zip in recovery? should be all you need to do to get root back. dont need to lose any data. just re-enable root apps aka grant root permissions when they pop up.

Hi efan3719:
I don't have the zip in my SDcard but SuperSU is installed, but when I tap on it it says I need root access, and when I tap on Recover Tools > flash TWRP it says "need root" as well..
Should I download SuperSU zip latest file version and copy it over to my device and then run it using my file explorer?
Sorry, I may be confusing I'm still learning this stuff.

download SuperSU from here http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip, put it on your device. reboot to recovery, flash the supersu zip. reboot. you should now be rooted.
:/
I have the zip file now on my device.
However, when I reboot into recovery TeamWin no longer comes up it goes to dead android character with exclamation point. :/
Try the nexus root toolkit. It makes rooting very easy with great step by step instructions.

I have that program. I used it to do my original unlock and root.
Can I re-root using that without losing my latest update/and settings?
I cannot boot into Recovery Mode to reinstall SuperSU (which I currently have installed on my system but it won't work when I tap on it because it says I require root).
So I cannot install the SuperSu zip I just placed onto my device.
This is confusing.
Okay I used Wugs again and looks like I am re-rooted.

Hi,
basically I had my Nexus 7 (2013) upgraded to KitKat 4.4.2 using the automatic (wi-fi) over the air update.
it installed fine but caused me to lose root. no other information was lost, all my apps and settings were the same, i simply lost root.
when you lose root, you are no longer able to access TWRP during the bootloader startup by going into recover mode. it will show a dead Android character.
so I simply connected my Nexus to my pc and (having Wug's Root Tookit and Nexus 7 drivers already installed from my first time rooting) I selected (from Wug's drop down menu - when Wug's program starts up) my build and version.. then it did it's magic and downloaded the pertinent files. (of course you need to have USB DeBugging checked in settings > developer options or whatever..
then i selected Root option and 'install custom recover' check box as well.. and let it do its thing.
TWRP started up automatically during reboot, and did the root.. then my Nexus was all good again, all apps and data in tact, with root. all good.
Hope that helps.
Excellent sharing. I have the same issue after upgrading to 4.4.2 via OTA
Sent from Nexus 7 v2013 using Tapatalk HD
I hope I was able to help.
Basically after a system update, just do the re-root feature of Wugs and you should be good

Fantastic post. I hadn't heard of Wug and did the old school adb push business. This was very very helpful. Many Thanks. :good:
Finally rooted again using Wug.
However it is asking me to make a full backup (nandroid).
Could someone help to show me how to make a backup correctly?

Just before upgrading from by Google server pushed OTA 4.4 to 4.4.2 I bought Pro version of SuperSU and enabled 'Ota Survival Mode'. Worked great, after OTA still root.
Saved the trouble (with my stock recovery) to temperary 'boot' TWRP via Adb fastboot and Usb-cable to reflash SuperSu.
Yes you should just be able to use WuGFresh's nexus root toolkit to update n7 4.4.2 update
The app won't have a 4.4.2 option but you can just select root any version and it will still be able to root your n7 running 4.4.2
Such a great program...
Hope it helps others...

Hey all,
I believe there is a problem with the root in my brother's phone.
It is rooted, CWM 6 touch, and Cm 11 kitkat.
So the problem is now that any app that requires root does not work! The superuser is installed and it gives me the notification whether to grant the app root access or not. So I allow the app to access the root but it does not function correctly.
For example the GameCIH, I give it root access and try to change a value in any game but it does not work.
Also the MacSpoof.
It used to work perfectly before (Tried to flash cwm6 and I soft bricked it but then fixed it all. Thanks to the help of some users in xda)
So what seems to be the problem and how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Sorry I should have posted this in trouble shooting and help section.

I actually did a couple of times but it didn't work. I tried wiping everything and flashing other cwm and rom but still same results.
Thanks for replying.
try re-flash using ODIN
Try supersu 1.93. It has option to root/unroot and is the leading root app
install from playstore or get flashable ZIP here.

Maybe the SU Binary is outdated ?
reflash your root, problem solved.. the problem is only the root access.. try to update app and binary. want simple, reflash root, or even reflash root. greets
I rooted my phone and it is temporary only since if I boot my phone, it will be back to normal until I start the root again from the WeakSauce2 app. I am new to rooting so please help me out! I pretty much don't know what to do with this temp root besides downloading rooted apps in play store.
If I were to fully root my phone and do the process, would there be any way to save my files before it wipes my phone?

You are temp rooted. That's it. Can't update binaries because you can't flash anything and because system write protection is still on. You need to s-off as soon as you can of you want to disable system write protection and be able to update binaries, flash a custom recovery and flash a custom Rom.
