How do I go about re-rooting if I just flashed a 4.3 rom and lost root? I dont know how to root when I already have a rom flashed and have lost it. Just flashed slimrom and wasnt expecting this...

Have you tried just reflashing the SuperSU update zipfile from Chainfire? Go to the SuperSU thread and download from there. Then flash in recovery.
4.4 needs you to go into settings, developer options and root access.... Change setting in there. Not sure if 4.3 is the same.

I believe I explained this before. Repeating again.
On Slim Rom, go to
1. Settings > About > Tap Build Number 7 times.
2. Go back to Settings then Developer Options. If you don't see Developer Options then repeat Step 1.
3. In Developer Options look for Root Access. Click on it and then choose ADB and Apps.
Go back and then exit. You got Root.

im running liquidsmooth 2.37 with 4.3.1 and now the super user says
"There is no SU binary installed, and SUperSU cannot install it. This is a problem. If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root consult the relevant forums for your device!"
Any fix to this??
Thanks!

In Settings > About Rom, click on Build Number 7 times. Back up to settings. Now you will see Developer options. Underneath it, there should be an option called ROOT ACCESS. Click on it and choose ADB and App. (or whatever words to that effect).
Note - all the apps who tried to obtain root access before this step will have to re-request including Superuser. So best reboot to clear the process instance.

+1 to what @Aerowinder said. You WILL regret it.
So i was going to flash over a 4.4 rom to my Galaxy nexus, but since i was very tierd i didn't pay to much attention to what i was doing. I flashed in the rom but forgot to flash in the gapps, and for some reason CWM got deleted. So now im running 4.4 with no gapps and no CMW. And that's not all.. the worst thing is that my usbport seems to be broken, i can't connect with usb to my computer so i cant put anything on the phone.
Is there anyway i can fix this problem? Or is my nexus officialy dead :crying:
If you have the Play Store app, or a browser so that you can get to the Play Store, and you still have root, you could download two free apps: Goo Manager, which has ROMs and gapps which you can download, and Recovery Tools, which allows you to flash CWM or TWRP.

If your usb port is dead, you may not be in a great situation. Your best bet if it works, is to go into fastboot and flash recovery again.
If you are rooted but have broken USB you have other options. You could sideload apps, transfer via wifi or just browse to them on the internet (not sure if your ROM came with a browser). An app that can install a custom recovery would be ideal, Goo Manager, ROM Manger, or something like that (maybe there are better options here, I am a little out of the loop on these apps). You could also download the proper GApps.
If you aren't rooted and you don't have functional USB, you indeed may have an issue. Fixing the USB may be your only solution.

You can try ADB over WiFi if you can confirm you are rooted.
Download the file flash_image in your PC from here and also download CWM recovery from here and then follow these steps:
Extract the flash_image.zip to a folder name say XYZ
Then in your phone, goto developers option and enable ADB over network. Make sure your PC and Mobile are on same WiFi network. After you enable it, you will get and ip:host (e.g 192.168.x.x:5555)
Now on your PC, copy both downloaded files to XYZ folder and do a shift+right click and select "Open Command Window here" and execute following code.
Code:
adb connect 192.168.x.x:5555
adb root
adb push flash_image /data/local
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/flash_image
adb push recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.3-maguro.img /data/local/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.3-maguro.img
adb shell /data/local/flash_image recovery /data/local/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.3-maguro.img
If this goes successful, your recovery is back. Try rebooting to recovery to confirm that.
Wish you luck :good:
P.S The issue is caused due to ROM as it this particular ROM flashes stock recovery over your custom recovery :silly:

wow this might work. I just have one problem, i cant find the option you are talking about. Are you sure its accessible without having to install any apps. I have been looking around on the internet and most people seems to be using some kind of app to access that option.

So I rooted my phone and am getting alerts about an OTA update. When it rebooted into recovery, I wasn't sure where the OTA update file was located, so couldn't install it. So my questions are:
1) Where is that location?
2) Would installing it via recovery wipe my phone given the non-standard method of installation?
3) Is it likely I will have to re-root when done?
4) I already have Titanium Backup to restore stuff. Am I better off just grabbing a custom ROM ?
Sorry for the n00bish questions.

You said that the first time, but it doesn't show up there. I guess I will just find a ROM.
Due to family issues and major unfortunate changes in our home/life I no longer have time to work on free software. This project is discontinued until further notice. If you have re-hosted/mirrored/uploaded my software elsewhere please remove it.

Very nice work!!!
However, I can't seem to get the wifi hotspot to work I am rooted (via towelroot and verified). I enable it via your app, go to setting and wifi hotspot. Then a dialog pops up asking me to subscribe? I have S5 with Sprint running stock 4.4.2.
Thoughts?

Hi,
First reboot phone once and see if subscription nag pops up again, if so see below:
Do me a favor (I would appreciate it) Click restore via HFA, let the phone reboot and finish HFA(you won't lose any data promise)
With a file explorer navigate to data/data/com.android.porviders.telephony/databases/telephony.db
pm me this file or post it here (no unique data in it so no worries)
I will get you all sorted out.
Thanks

Sorry to have wasted your time with a reply. It seems that a reboot did fix the issue as I was able to start the Hotspot now and the nag dialog doesn't appear.

It absolutely did with TDunham's DeOdexed version.
Obtained root using tdunham [STOCK ROM][4.4.4] NK4 Kitkat ROM DeOdexed. Followed all the instructions on that thread. Im using TWRP recovery.
Downloaded Galaxy Tools from the play store. Says Galaxy Tools v2.2.0. su: Using: 2.13:SUPERSU
I click on "Enable Native Hotspot" and the phone restarts. I go back into the GT app and click on Wifi Hotspot settings and turn the hotspot on. Everytime I do this I get a pop up that says I am not subscribed.
I have uninstalled the GT app and reinstalled. Cleared all data for SU app. No matter what I do I always get the pop up saying I am not subscribed.
Any suggestion?

Maybe try uninstall su app, enable hotspot, then reinstall su app again after hotspot is working.

After disabling SU (cant uninstall, there is no option to. Guessing since it is built into the ROM) I go into the GT app and click Enable hotspot and it says IOException.

Not sure, sorry, I made this for all stock galaxy devices, and it works on all of their official software versions(at least S3 through Note 4/Edge). I cannot say how it will work on custom roms because people change whatever they want in them. On stock everything would work as it should.

You're not stock, your deodexed, which is why it is failing. You need to be stock rooted. Why don't you Odin nk4, then root it.

I lost root on my KFHD8.9 after I was working on getting gapps to quit giving me the stop message. I have CM12 on it and I even have the new Google Apps back running on it. I have tried following the guides to get root but I still can't get it to root. I done all the trouble shooting I can and I am at my wits end. I used the Bin4ry tool and Kindle Fire First Aide. Thank you for the help.
