Okay so I have an Evo 4G with a stock rom. About a week ago I rooted my phone using the unrevoked3 method. It was working great. I then decided to update the phone to 3.29 to get the fps uncapped. This unrooted the phone which I expected. I rooted the phone again using the unrevoked3 method successfully. After that I decided to unroot the phone just to know that I had the option incase I had to go back to sprint to get it replaced by flashing the 3.29 update again. After I did that successfully I rooted it again using the same unrevoked method and it's been working great the last few days. But today while I was using my phone, it somehow got unrooted and unrevoked isn't working anymore. I was using Wifi tether to connect a friends iPad to the internet for about an hour. It suddenly stopped working and the phone started getting really glitchy. So I used quickboot to reboot the phone. When it started up again all my root applications said they couldn't obtain root access. I checked the boot loader and it's still S-off. Does anyone know what could've caused this?

Try uninstalling the superuser app. Then go to the market, download and reinstall it. See if the works.
Thanks! it worked. All my root apps are getting SU permissions again after I reflashed the SU app.

did you try flashing the su-bin ?
Stuck on custom status and superSu doesn't work
Tried flashing superSu tried flashing a deodexed roms I found on here tried doing a factory reset hoping to maybe get back unroot status even tried framaroot again.
Can anyone tell me how to either get root again so I can add a custom recovery since my goal is too install the 4.2.2 update or get back to unrooted factory status?
Thanks in advance

You shouldn't need root to add a custom recovery. You can flash a recovery in download mode using Odin on Windows, or Heimdall on Windows/Mac/Linux. If you're interested I can give you some help with installing and using Heimdall.
Bear in mind that flashing files in download mode will void your warranty (there is a counter which tracks how many times you've flashed). Flashing also carries a risk of bricking your device permanently. Once the flash counter is nonzero, your device will be detected as "custom" and you still won't be able to install official updates. But you will be able to flash ROMs in recovery from the xda community.
I've searched, but not found any relevant info.
Tried CF-auto root, and it appeared to work. Got a pass, but I ended up at the "seandroid enforcing" screen.
Installed TWRP, and when restarting, was asked if I wanted to install supersu.
Got a "supersu installer stopped working" and after updating supersu via the market, I got:
"There is no SU binary installed,and SuperSU cannot install it.this is a problem.if u just upgraded to android 4.3
you need to manually re-root.consult the relevant forums for your device"
How do I manually reroot? Just try cf auto with Odin again?
Or is there a different method?
Would highly appreciate the help!
Edited to add: I repeated the rooting attempt via Odin, and installed the supersu update zip via recovery. This time it asked about disabling Knox, and now I'm rooted.
hi;
I have a roger GS3(SGH-I747M) and recently I have updated to stock 4.4.2; then I flash cf-root throuth odin; trying to get root access; however, after I boot into the phone, I always gets a force close message on the phone and cannot get root access. Does anybody know what I can do to get root access on stock 4.4.2.
Please help!!!

TWRP or CWM?

Towelroot seems quite easy. Once I do that, what's the best way to install latest TWRP or CWM on rooted 4.4.2? I had always heard GooManager, but now it's showing as not supported and unavailable.
No need to root. Just load a custom recovery and flash a custom ROM.
Flash recovery with odin.

Like someone mentioned earlier, try flashing a custom recovery (I like philz touch myself) via odin. Once you access Recovery, if your phone isn't rooted upon trying to reboot you'll see a message that says "root priviliges may be lost, root (or something like it) binary su). Choose yes and your phone will be rooted once it boots. Install SuperSU (or kush's Superuser if you'd like) and then you'll see your phone is rooted.
I used TowelRoot and had absolutely no problems whatsoever. However, 4.4.2 seems to run extremely slow on the I747 so you might consider a custom ROM. That is the route I am looking into.
I used supersu to root my original phone on 4.1.1. this was maybe 2 years ago. i want to update to 4.4 but the root doesnt let me, so i uninstalled SuperSU hoping it would unroot and tried to update usin g"software update". still nothing--hitting the butting doesnt even register a click.
tried using odin to update but it stalls on one of the early processes (then i realized i needed root for this step!)
so i went to DL SuperSU again but installing it doesnt work: "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
What to do??
The simplest way to get to 4.4.2 via OTA updates would be to use Odin and flash back to completely stock 4.1.1.
Using Odin will wipe all data files on the phone.
