I'm stuck. I can't get root back after update to 4.3 - Tried everything

Right guys, usually I'm quite good a figuring these things out myself but this one has me stuck. I've tried loads of suggestions and I'm sure I'm doing something wrong somewhere.
Basically I've just flashed SlimBean, the Android 4.3 version. When I opened SU it says that there is no SU binary installed and that it can't install them. I researched that error message and I have tried the following.
Re-Root using Odin and CF Autroot. The process worked but I still don't have root access. (I checked that I have root enabled in the developer options)
I read that I need to flash SU v1.51 but I now don't have a custom recovery so can't flash the ZIP. I tried using ROM manager which won't work because I don't have Root access.
I decided that I need to flash a custom recovery so I downloaded one from TeamWin (the TAR/MD5 version for Odin) and tried to flash it with Odin. Unfortunately Odin detects my phone, starts file analysis, then crashes. I decided to try flashing it using Goo Manager. This said that it had worked but when I rebooted I still get the stock Android recovery
I tried to flash a CWM recovery using Odin but again it crashes. I was using Odin v3.07 but I downloaded v3.09 and it still doesn't work.
So I HAVE done some searching and tried to resolve myself but I'm stuck now. I could be missing something simple. Any ideas people?

Settings > Developer Options > Root Access then select Apps and ADB. If you can't see developer options go to about phone and tap 6x version number.

Yes mate. That's what I meant in my original post when I said that I'd enabled root.
Thanks for trying to help though, I appreciate it.

Have you tried framaroot? Not sure if it supports Note 2 but it doesn't require custom recovery afaik

Never heard of that to be honest. I'll have a bit of a search and see if it will work for the Note 2.
Thanks.

Problem solved. I didn't directly use Framaroot but when searching for it I stumbled across Philz Touch Recovery which actually did flash with Odin (strange why CWM or TWRP wouldn't work with Odin) so you did help indirectly
From there I flashed DrKetan_MultiTool-AromaVxx.zip and got my Root back.
Thanks

I use Philz too but didn't tell you as I though there was a whole problem with custom recoveries in general :$

Can you tell me how you did it? I'm fairly new and don't want to brick my phone....again.
I keep having the same trouble with root access as you described and want to give Philz a try.
Thank you bunches!

One thing I have noticed myself, that unless you are Running Probam which has Super SU as it's native Root, then you will encounter this problem. Installing SuperSu on many 4.3 Roms will break root, from what I have read and tested. Use the built in superuser instead. But it is good to know that Philz works.
So until SuperSu is updated, don't use it.

Download Philz touch Recovery and the SuperSu and Busybox flash file. Place the SuperSu/Busybox flash file onto your phone internal or external memory card. Then open up Odin and select Philz file in the PDA section. Put your phone into download mode by holding Power, Volume Down, Home, you will see the menu asking you to go into download mode. Choose yes. Connect your phone and a yellow or blue box will show up in Odin to let you know it's connected.
Leave the boxes with tickmarks and what not. Then click Start and it will flash. It should reboot your phone.
When rebooted turn off phone. Then Hold Power, Volume up and Home button to boot into Philz recovery choose install zip file and navigate to the SuperSu/Busybox file and choose it to flash. Flash file. Optional but always a good idea, wipe cache/dalvik cache after then reboot phone.

[Q] Can't boot after failed root attempt

SOLVED
So today I decided I would try to install a custom OS/ROM whatever it's called on my HTC One X. I unlocked the bootloader successfully without any problems. Then I went on to root the phone, and this is where it all went wrong. I found a tutorial and followed it to the tiniest detail. I am unable to link to it because I am a new user. When my phone rebooted it went to the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" boot screen. I left it there for 30 minutes and it still didn't move on. What do I do now? I am a super noob at this, and I admit that I am an idiot for not reading more up on it first, it just all seems so super complicated.
Thanks in advance for any help and guidance.

well, pm me the link so i can check the instructions you followed and maybe help you

No, no error, it said "Daemon launched successfully" or something along those lines, my phone turned off and turned back on to the HTC boot screen.

Ok, try this: if the phone is still on keep the power button pressed till it restarts and press also vol down button until you arenin the bootloader; if the device is off, enter bootloader keeping power and vol down button pressed... Now my suggestion is to flash a custom recovery and a custom rom, you will get root privileges and the phone will work again...
Sent from Somewhere Over The Rainbow...

If you are unlocked (you see it in bootloader) you can flash a custom recovery and a custom rom. Look up for your favorite Recovery and flash it.
Download the img File to directory where you have the fastboot files and run this code in command prompt
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
After it you can boot into Bootloader and turn to recovery to get access to phone and SD Card/flash Rom

Did you flash boot.img and erased the cache?

Okay, so I successfully flashed TWRP and launched into recovery mode with it. How I get the custom ROM files on my SD card, when I plug my phone into my computer with USB it doesn't show up in the drives section, so I can't open up the SD card.
Another thing is that with the latest version of TWRP for my phone touch doesn't work in the recovery mode. There's a version that does, but it says it doesn't have USB mount or something like that. What's the next step?

You need to mount sd card via recovery, and having the touchscreen working is better as it will be easier to move inside aroma installer... Use philz recovery (if you want a sense rom use 5.15.9, if you want kitkat use the last version), enter the recovery, plug the phone into pc, mount sdcard via recovery, copy the zip over it and follow the instructions to install rom... You can find the instructions in every rom thread op... Ask if you need more help

Thanks for all the help, I am really starting to get a better understanding of how this actually works. I flashed Philz recovery and went into recovery with it. Then I went to mount and mounted USB Storage. Is this the right thing? It still doesn't show up on my PC

which version did you flash? sometimes it keeps a couple of minutes before popping up the sdcard in pc, but i ensure you that 5.15.9 usb mout feature works fine... some users (me too) faced some issues with some 6.x.y version (sorry, i don't remember which one as i still use sense rom and so philz 5.15.9)

have you flashed boot.img via fastboot and erased cache via fastboot? the commands are

CWM RECOVERY doesn't work for me on Note 3 with Lollipop

I've used Odin 3.07 to flash n900t-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.4(1025) but it didn't pass. I'm tired now and I want to go to bed but it bugs me I don't have root.
On 4.2 I think it was easy but on 5.0 it won't work for me, now. I've scoured pages and pages, so for now I am kindly asking for some directions.

Try flashing the latest TWRP and then flash supersu from TWRP to get root.

Thanks, did it, it flashed it but now it gives me "Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing". I pulled the battery right after the pass message, no change.
Read in thread about "Reactivation Lock" but I don't have that option in the stock Lollipop 5.0.
Any ideas?

So your phone is not booting? Boot into download mode and tell us what it says.

Oh no, the phone works fine. I can boot into stock Lollipop but it won't boot into recovery (Vol Up). It boots into Odin Vol Down.
All I want is to install su. First I tried to flash CWM recovery with Odin, didn't pass. Then I tried TWRP (their website is down), it passed but got "Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing" error. So now I'm lost. I think all have to flash a modified ROM but I'm confused about their specs (what is Deoxified)
Wait wait, Oding IS the recovery, no? I'm totally confused now.

Try this: open Odin and uncheck everything except f.reset time, connect the phone, flash TWRP, when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, use button combination to boot into recovery.

Thanks for the help. I've tried that sequence before. It didn't work. I'll try it again.
But I've managed to install su using Chainfire's Auto Root for Kitkat (but I have Lollipop). Now I have an older recovery. Will that cause any troubles?
What I've learned from my "ordeal" is make sure you have the right versions. In my case particularly the phone model, N900T, and then the software versions, N900TUVUFOB6, where B6 is the Lollipop (right?).

No no no!
I've rebooted into old recovery now my user interface in Lollipop doesn't work. I guess the recovery deleted some cache (noticed some messages at the bottom)
I guess I'll burn the Lollipop + CF Autoroot for the N-th time and never boot into recovery.

I was just randomly checking my app manager for all my apps and found getroot version 1.0 was installed.
Can you confirm me that u have the same thing.

Hope your TWRP sticks, I'm new to this and it took me 3 attempts to get it to stick.
To get into recovery
Hold both power button and volume down button pressed
At first sight of LG logo release power button 1 second, Still holding volume down, then repress power button.
You should now get white screen with just 2 options, select "Reset" , Select with Power button, scroll with volume up/down
Again get white screen and confirm reset
If TWRP is on phone it should now appear.
If its not you are in for a Factory Reset
:
Now do a default backup in TWRP (very handy this)
Then move systemless root zip to phone.
In twrp select install find your "systemless root zip " flash , then reboot using "System" DO not accept option to root your phone offered after selecting- reboot>system.
Hope its goes well

I am on the same boat as OP. I unlocked the bootloader after updating to Marshmallow, so I didn't have TWRP from Lollipop. Now, even though it says that the flashing went okay, there is no recovery to boot into. Using "adb reboot recovery" it shows the android logo with the exclamation mark. If I do it using the hardware buttons, I get the LG's menu to wipe everything or exit.

If you have root there are many apps on play store such as : quick boot, simple boot, quick reboot. Install one of these and and they all all have options for reboot, hotboot, boot to recovery, etc. etc.
I have TWRP on my phone and if I use the standard way to enter recovery , power+volume down, then I will get the standard LG recovery screen but when I accept the recovery options there, it takes me to TWRP

@ Dante897 No, if you don't have TWRP then don't. don't say yes to LG Recovery or you'll loose everything . You can also run TWRP on your PC and install systemless root zip that way. That maybe what I did, I can't exactly remember now.
I'm off to bed now, last night was a late night too.

I figured it out. You aren't supposed to flash the recovery., you are supposed to boot to it, flash SuperSU and then use Flashify to install TWRP. I did that, but I flashed the wrong SuperSU (I am an idiot I know) and my phone won't boot now. Currently I am in download mode and downloading the rom with LG Bridge . You can follow the guide here if you want http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-root-t3128241 but whatever you do DO NOT flash SuperSU 2.46, grab the newest from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64161125&postcount=3
I cannot say that it will work, all I can tell you is that 2.46 certainly doesn't work.
EDIT: Alright, I let LG Bridge install the update, no wipe happened. I did the process again, this time I flashed SuperSU v2.62-3 and everything went well and my phone is now rooted.

I also had an issue with TWRP sticking. I followed someone else's tip and you have to have the twrp IMG saved on your computer and also on the phone before flashing recovery with fastboot.

Root nexus 6.0.1

Hi all,
I´m trying to root my nexus, but I´m finding it extremely difficult!
I was used to flash my devices very often in the past, and it was extremely easy. Can you please give me some information on how to root the nexus 7 (flo) running android 6.0.1?
Thanks in advance

Flash TWRP, boot it and install SuperSU...zip
Alternatively, use NRT to root N7.

Thank you very much k23m

Help
Hey guys,
Do you have a linux (ubuntu) step by step for dummies?
I'm new to this rooting thing and I feel like I need some help here. I've taken a look into the NRT tool, but it looks like it is windows only. Also, to flash TWRP it requires the tablet to be rooted. Kinda recursive..
Any help will be strongly appreciated

I posted live Linux info before.
TWRP root req is only one of the options.
In fastboot mode (when off press power+vol.dn) do...
Download the correct image file and copy the file into the same folder as your adb and fastboot binaries. Rename the image to twrp.img and type:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.

Then boot TWRP and install SuperSU...zip

Thanks man, but it didn't seem to work. I was able to flash TWRP after unloking the bootloader. The problema is that it gets restarting because it says "could not mount /data folder [...]" and many other red lines.
It is late here, I'll be trying a bit more tomorrow. If you have any more guidance, I will strongly appreciate.
Thanks a lot for your help

I think you were also flashing a ROM/OS at the same time. The following should fix it...
Code:
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata
Note, your data after unlocking is gone already, so do not worry about formatting the partition now.

Thanks dude. It works smoothly as it should be. Thanks to you. You saved some hours of my life for sure.
I was able to flash android 7.1 on my tablet. Right now I stuck on gapps because it says it does not enough storage. But when I start android and check the storage it says I'm using 5GB of 29GB.
Anyway, going to work. Will finish it tonight

Again.. thanks a lot for your help

Can we use an app like kingoroot to root？I am using Kingoroot and when I click the root button but everytime when it is 90%, the app automatically closed and when I reopened the app, it told me the device is not rooted.

2013 version

I am having troubles rooting Nexus 7 (flo) running 6.0.1 with a dead USB port (apk only). Tried Kingroot and towelroot (v3), both would not work. I tried downloading an earlier version of towelroot (v1) but the app updates to v3 automatically (yes v3 uninstalled and cache cleared with restart). Love some solutions as I am totally lost. Thanks.
