Do you have TWRP installed? The automatic root feature in it worked fine for me.

Install this in TWRP
http://download.chainfire.eu/346/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.55.zip
Some later versions have non-functioning install scripts.
would using ART be a conflict maybe?

I still could not get superusersu installed Its able to flash over recovery fine but when rooting it says everything is fine but superuser never shows up and I dont have root access Thanks for trying I appreciate it
I had problems originally but I did like others. I downloaded the newest SuperSU 1.65.zip, moved it onto the N7. Booted into TWRP, selected Install and selected the zip. After that I rebooted from TWRP and I had root.

How are you installing them? Where are you downloading from? Have you tried just allowing TWRP to install root using the one it comes with?

I am just trying to understand where things are going wrong.
I went back and did a fresh factory image of KRT16O wiping user data.
I then copied
http://download.chainfire.eu/346/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.55.zip
to the virtual sdcard.
I rebooted to bootloader and started twrp using
fastboot boot twrp.img
Then I chose to install SuperSU 1.55 using the above file.
Then rebooted to Android.
The SuperSU app was in the app drawer and I could perform su from adb shell and it would ask for permissions.
After I installed the factory images, I rooted my device. I don't use toolkits, because I think they make thing more complicated that it actually is. It is best to learn ADB whenever you can. That makes rooting so much easier.
Before I entered the bootloader, I downloaded SuperSU v1.69 through Chrome.
I made sure that all drivers were installed and began rooting.
Since my bootloader already was unlocked, I just flashed TWRP 2.6.3.1 with fastboot using this command:"fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-flo.img" without quotes.
That went smoothly, afterwards I rebooted to TWRP and flashed the zip... There I was rooted.
SuperSU: http://download.chainfire.eu/365/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.69.zip
TWRP: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/flo/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-flo.img
Hope this helped.
I just got root access! I found superuser in settings under apps but it would not show up in app drawer and would not give permissions to anything.I then disabled the updates back to superusers 1.55 and it showed up in app drawer and busy box asked for permission right away and root checker confirmed root access. Then updated through play store and everything is good now. Hope that helps
I am sorry about the noobness but i cant seem to find a proper thread for recovery setup.
I installed ROM Manager and then the CWM recovery from there.
But if i try to root into recovery I get a " android with a exclamation mark" - so assumes i messed something up ?
only way is to power cycle the device .
Can anyone here please help how i install CWM as i want to flas CM 11

How were you able to make flashing custom roms work using freegee? I successfully rooted my Optimus G Pro and used freegee to install CWM recovery 6.0.4.7, but everytime I try to flash a custom rom - the phone would reboot after 10 -15 seconds. I followed and installed the custom roms accordingly to the instructions. Can you help me?

There are two different versions of Freegee on the Playstore. One is the free version and One is the paid version. I used the free version and when I open the app to install CWM recovery I don't see the "unlock" option, so I think the "unlock" option is only available in the paid version. Also, when I used the free version of Freegee to install CWM recovery, I can make and restore my nandroid backup. Maybe I need to buy the paid version of Freegee??
no u don't need paid.
also I didn't have the unlock option and I was able to flash.
I would say try twrp.
also are u trying just 1 ROM or have to tried a couple. maybe do that

I already tried 3 different roms and they all turned out the same. Keep rebooting after 10 - 15 seconds. I might have to give twarp a try. thanks
Just wondering, what software version is your phone?

Check in CWM recovery, before you flash any of the ROM's that LOKI support is enabled, I think you can find it under Advanced and it says something like "Toggle LOKI support"

do I enable Loki after the flash or before the flash? Because I enable loki in the advance option of CWM recovery after I flash a custom rom and the phone still reboots 10-15 seconds. I did all the normal wipes and stuff too. I'm thinking maybe its because of I'm the software version that I'm on which is E98010g.
He said "check before you flash any rom,that LOKI support is enabled"... You should carefully read instructions before you do anything or you will end with bricked device...

i did this as well and somehow now i can only get into twrp however i cant flash anything...any direction on this? i cant find the file i need to put on the sd card and flash thru twrp...any help?
For some reason Rom manager cwm didn't work for me so I tried installing freegee from the play store and installing cwm from there.
Since freegee my cwm works fine and I was able to flash.
Have you given freegee a try ?

I'm having the same trouble with recovery. I was on SlimBean for several months and decided to flash a ROM from RadeonMaya, but it wouldn't boot, so I tried to restore my backup of Slim from CWM. It looked like it restored properly, but it wouldn't boot either. I finally reverted back to stock and rooted again, downloaded Freegee and tried to flash CWM. I booted into recovery to flash my Slim backup, but I got an "error loki-ifying the boot image". I tried Phil's recovery, but couldn't boot back into recovery from CWM
Since then, I have not been able to flash anything, and have reverted back to stock probably a dozen times. I've tried TWRP, but can't flash a version that works on 4.1.2. I'm beyond frustrated at this point. I had fun flashing on this phone until these problems showed up, now I'm just going to try to like the stock ROM and hope we get an update to KitKat.
Just a quick question guys. What does freegee's "unlock" feature do? I ask because I don't get that option in Freegee either. Is it supposed to network unlock your phone or? Also, what is the need for the unlock?
I bought a used phone that already has TWRP 2.3.3.1 installed. I'm trying to update the rom in used, but first need to update TWRP to 2.7.0.0 (since I receive a set_metadata_recursive failure). I tried with goomanager, it says it updated recovery sucessfully, but when booting, still have 2.3.3.1. I tryed using dd, but still have the old version. Seems the only solution left is Odin, which require windows ? That I don't have.
Any other solution to update TWRP ?

So far ive tried superoneclick... froze on step 7
tried manually installing superuser... couldnt verify.
tried installing a root zip... couldnt verify.
the only thing that claims to have worked is clockworkmod... except that it will NOT allow me access to any of the actual rooted functions.
i was able to download superuser (which you cannot download from google play unless rooted- that worked.)
trying to keep the OS on it now while being able to delete bloatware, for a friend.
is it purely impossible to root a stock rom? why can i install programs that requre root but i cannot use them for their intended purpose (rom manager says it cant find superuser in either of 2 locations).
what the heck am i missing?? ive been googling and trying methods for hours to no avail. cant boot into cwm recovery at all, by rom manager or from powered off (it goes into stock recovery.).
what else can i do?

Did you watch the video in the CWM thread?
Tell me your steps EXACTLY and we'll figure it out.
Finally got it to work. i guess the magic step is not letting odin auto reboot. I was afraid not to let it because its not even mine. But, i followed the video in that thread exactly and that let my root zip install correctly.
phew!

Download CWM OR TWRP without any hassle
Just download freegee(root) from Google play store and once installed and opened ....let it download the necessary....then just click on cwm or twrp as per ur wish ......u might then feel as if the app has frozen....but it is the process of downloading...... And once finished it will show flash successful ....
Works with 4.4.2?
I used the FreeGee app on stock 4.4.2 V20c earlier, but it bricked my device. Why is that? How do I install a recovery on 4.4.2?
i have a question on flashing the cwm recovery image, i had to go back to stock as i was soft bricked - i now need to install a recovery and i am sure that when i did this a few weeks ago on my g pro i used flashify and flashed the cwm recovery image through this app and everything works ed well, now i am trying to do it and it flashes the file but wont go into recovery - it says fastboot mode started but never goes into recovery, i also tried rom toolbox to flash it and not having any luck - anyone have a way to do this ?

I would like to install a CWM touch variant, is there a way to get it done with KK stock rom?
I know it needs to be "lokified", but I have no clue how to do this.
Is there any tutorial to do this?

Philz touch cwm is a good one, you can find here on xda, or via Google search. However, my personal experience with cwm touch variant on e980 is that it causes the recovery bootloop (where you just keeps on going back to the recovery screen). Version 6.0.47 is stable , and will not cause the boot loop say when you try to open the recovery by using the up volume + power buttons. This seem to be the issue too with the cwm provided by cm update in the developer's option. Read the postings in the Philz's thread if you want to know more about the recovery loop and the touch cwm.
I get wrong date and time whene i make a backup. I have a E986. How can i fix this?
