Keep losing root access. - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi everyone I installed a pre-rooted 4.1.2 on my samsung galaxy s3 i747m, A few weeks ago I lost my root when I turned off the phone. When I started it back up my SuperSU was gone and when I run root checker it tells me that I do not have root. So I used a CFroot and rooted again, which work to root my phone, But sporadically I lose root and Supersu is removed. Is there anyway to fix this or a way to figure out what is causing my problem?

4.2.2 Root problems?

Hey everyone! I recently (yes, just recently :/ ) updated the Verizon Galaxy Nexus from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 this past weekend and I used the app "Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper" to keep root access while downloading the OTA. I didn't want to update to 4.2.2 but long story short, I did. I was unwilling to update since many people have had troubles getting wifi tether to work and I wanted to avoid that and keep running on 4.1.2 to keep wifi tether with no problems (Don't fix what's broken, right?). Well, I used another app "Root Checker" to validate my root access, and it says "Sorry! This device does not have proper root access." and I was wondering how I lost my root access in the process? Would anyone know by chance? I'm not too familiar with root anymore since I've had my phone rooted for over a year now using the 1-click toolkit that many people dislike. I was wondering what I should do next, in order to have root access once again. I don't want to run the risk of bricking my phone and having to pay big bucks for a new phone. Anything helps!!

[Q] root problem with 4.3 stock rom

Hi, I upgraded to the 4.3 yesterday and lost my root then I re rooted my [email protected] s3 i747 and it was working then all of a sudden it stopped and now this stupid security policy is blocking everything. I've tried everything to stop it. I tried to re root it and it still didn't work and apparently I lost root access, I used the chainfire autoroot with stock recovery. Does anyone know how to root the 4.3 and keep the stock recovery just like the root I used before. Thanks.
Little research could have provided you with the answer. Right now it looks like there is no permanent root. Once root is lost there doesn't seem to be any way to get it back. It may take some time for a solution to be found.

[Q] Root for sm-t217s running the new 4.4.2 kitkat update?

Hello my names Aaron, I rooted my galaxy tab 3 (sm-t217s) a little bit ago then unrooted just because my wifi wasnt turning on.. I had to do a stock restore through odin to get it all working again. When I did that I got the new kitkat update and gladly updated it. Now again though I want to root it so I can again do all the great things you can do with rooting!
So my questions are:
Can I root it running 4.4.2 the same way I did when I was running 4.2.2? Will it brick it if I just put on a custom recovery the same way as before and let that install superSU?
I would just like to know and if not then is there another way currently to root it?
I couldnt find anything about it that is why I am posting about it.. must not be a very common tablet?
Anyways thanks for your time and help!

Either use towelroot to root from within android or you can still flash twrp from Odin and root that way. Twrp may set warranty bit, mine was was already tripped so I can't say dor sure if it does.

I used towelroot on my tablet, it does what it has to do. Does not reboot, but when I use Root Checker it says that I do not have root.....any suggestions?
I was rooted with towel root fine under the June 2014 update to 4.4.2, but I mistakenly took the update to NH4 while rooted. My device seems to be fine, but I lost root and Towel root will not seem to root me again, no way, no how. My warranty bit is clean, and I don't want to trip it, but I'd love to have root back. Is there anyything I can do on NH4 from within Android to get root back? TIA
How did you do an unroot through Odin and which version of Towelroot did you use to root it again? I have the same tablet.
I have SM-T217S running Kitkay 4.4.2. I've tried almost every root app there is (Kingo, Towel, ect.). They all say my device isn't compatible. And when I go to update under settings, it says that my device is running unauthorized software and that I need to use Samsung kies to flash. But it has no root & no custom software, everything is normal. I have tried using computer to root but still nothing. What could I do to fix it?

[Q] Root didnt work, want to unroot and lose custom status

Tried to root my Galaxy Note 2 following this site galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-easiest-method. Everything went fine. But when the phone rebooted, I was immediately greeted with a security warning. "Unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked" Also informed that SuperSU is missing its binary, and cannot be installed by SuperSU. So, I rooted it, but I don't have root access. Everything I've found to try and fix this requires root access, that I don't have. I've given up on trying to root this phone, but I can't unroot it without root access. I would like to unroot it so I can try to update the software. How can I fix my SuperSU binary issue? Please, explain this to me like I'm a retarded noob, since I am in fact a retarded noob

Download Odin. Download the factory image from sammobile.com. Odin the stock image. Problem solved
Or if you still want root, download the Mr robinson T-Mobile prerooted Odin image and flash that.
Fyi i accidently hit the thanks button. I guess you got a free one on me

Kingo rooted Samg Mega I527M but software upgrade killed rooting. How do I reroot?

I have a Samsung Mega 6.3 HGH-I527M (canadian version, unlocked, using it now on ATT USA)
android 4.2.2
kernel version3.4.0-2416192
build number jdq39.i527mvlubna3
I rooted successfully, with Kingo (thanks Kingo! A donation is on the way!)
I accepted the over the air software udate and now lost my rooting.
Kingo is no longer able to root.
I had used a "professional ROM installer" in the past and was going to send it to him but he said he also won't be able to root it now, since I rooted it with Kingo and updated it.
Is that correct? Is there no way of rooting my phone anymore?
Thank you
