rooted, flashed root66, now lost root

So I was rooted and running cynogenmod 10. I decided to go to root66 and I love it, but I noticed I no longer am rooted. I have supersu listed as an app but when I click on it it says "there is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
I tried to boot into clockwordmod recovery and reflash it, but I know have stock android recovery. So I tried to download clockwordmod recovery through odin and it said pass but when I go into recovery it is still android recovery.
I d/l the toolkit but get an error using it.
I want to root to run wifi tether, what is the easiest way to get back root?

I'm pretty sure you shouldn't be posting here with this type of problem...I see your post count so I can kind of figure out why now...shoot me a PM and I'll help you out. In the meantime, a root66 should solve your problem...are you using Odin correctly?

Try this:
First install a fresh copy of Superuser from the google play store. (free download)
Then install "TWRP recovery.
To install TWRP you need to install "GooManager" first which is a free download from the google play store.
Once installed, simply click the menu softkey on your phone and select "Install OpenRecoveryScript"
It's that easy.
Most likely you have a corrupted CWM in your phone which is missing files or some of the files in it are corrupt..
If GooManager pops up asking for root access and you allow it then TWRP recovery will fix your root issue I am sure.
Good Luck!

Why didn't you post this in the root66 thread? Wanting more eyes on your question is no excuse. This will be moved before sunset.....

Help me out here please,
I too post questions and hope to get answers to troubleshooting, as the OP did. Open the main page, and there is NO sub forum for root66 listed.
The OP needed an answer to his troubleshooting and thus posted it in Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting...
What is wrong, with that? Why does it have to be moved ? Is it NOT a question? Does the OP not need Help? Does the OP not have a question?
How is this query so different from others that is must be posted elsewhere, and Why?
It truly makes one hesitant on posting something and later not be able to find it because some almighty god has moved it..
I just don't understand. I must be wrong in thinking this was a forum one could seek to find help in a common interest. Trust me,
I am just totally confused. err... I couldn't find a confused sub forum to post this in. Sorry.

1) I want to know what error you got from the toolkit.
2) root66 comes with root access. It's kind of the whole point.
I don't know what you did to end up with the mess you have now, but here is how you fix it. You need to back up your data, and wipe everything. Then Odin root66 if that is what you want. Then if you want CWM, download the one from my signature. If you leave auto reboot checked in Odin, you need to drop to recovery mode before the phone boots (when Odin reboots it), because there is a script that will overwrite custom recoveries when the phone boots. When you exit CWM, it will tell you to disable the stock recovery. Just choose yes and done.

As far as it goes I think after rooting it with CFroot you should update the SuperSU from the Playstore.

Hello, I was trying to update my note 2 with DN3 kitkat rom today.. But didn't work! :/
I rooted the phone. I got correct root access.
Then followed the instruction to flash the ROM.
After reboot, I could hear the welcome sound(new) and saw the samsung animated logo..then it stuck there. I waited for some 15mins, but nothing happened, only the animated samsung logo.
I saw an issue in TWRP.. saying there was a problem with permission. I don't know what was it. I tried to fix permission, but it failed.
After nothing worked, now I am in the process of recovery from kies.
Perhaps I didn't have the right step by step guide; from rooting the phone to flashing it. :/
If someone could please help, would be great!.. I really want to flash my phone for the DN3 custom rom.
Thanks.

Why do you need to root when flashing custom rom? It is already prerooted. You only need recovery.

As per rooting instruction, it is mentioned that the device must be rooted before flashing a custom rom from stock rom.
While installing the recovery the device is rooted or another way that I tried was to root by CFroot first, which was successfully done then I got the super user access to install a recovery like TWRP,,

[Q] ROM Suggestions

Hello There,
I have a HTC One m8 and I'm considering Rooting it and installing a custom ROM.
Since I tried rooting once, and it somehow stopped me from getting OTA updates.
I'm a noob when it comes to that kind of stuff, I read lots of articles on how to do it, but I still couldn't manage. So I'll probably need a step by step guide
My phone is a Canadian unlocked Bell phone (From Canada) and running android lollipop 5.0.1.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a Million!

to install a ROM you don't need to be rooted, you just need to have your bootloader unlocked and then install a custom recovery such as TWRP that will allow you to flash a ROM.

Yes, but any mods or tweaks available in that ROM will probably need root access. As long as it is a near stock ROM there shouldn't be any problems.

Thanks Guys!
But if I install a custom recovery, will I still be able to install OTA updates?

No. But you can always flash the stock recovery back to get OTAs when your carrier updates.
Or you could just flash the firmware manually of course.

Any idea where i can find those?
I'm using a Bell HTC one m8, I never found a stock recovery for my phone.
Thanks again!

By looking at the "sticky" threads at the top of the General M8 forum section. For that matter, start reading up on the threads linked in the Index thread (found in the same place) as well as the FAQ sticky at the top of this Q&A forum section.
Read read read, learn and understand. That will be much more benefit to you than someone leading you by the hand step-by-step.

Rooting Stock ROM

Guys,
I need help regarding root of Stock ROM Lollipop. 5.0.
I unlocked boot loader, flashed twrp recovery but when it comes to flash rooting tools (Android revolution hd rooting tool) it does not flash and does not root the ROM. In recovery it says failed/ unable to mount cache ...
Am I doing something wrong or it the zip file which may not be compatible with stock rom?
Do you guys have any zip file which can root stock rom or the best would be if there is any rom already rooted but not modified. I like to stick to stock rom but want to get rid of bloatware.
I appreciate any advice, help or solution which may you provide to me.
Please do not ask me to search on google or XDA because I already did it and bother many people in the specific forums. As a result that they could not provide me with the solution I was forced to write in Help& Troubleshooting forum.
all the best,

Don't use a tool.
Download the update SuperSU.zip from here and flash it in recovery.
After the flash, find SuperSU in your app drawer and open it. You will be prompted to update binaries. Do that.
That's it. You are rooted.

I second that. The tool used by the OP is probably not updated to work on Lollipop.
Also, OP should make sure to run an updated version of TWRP (2.8.7) as anything but the last few (several?) versions of TWRP will not work on the Lollipop hboot.

Installing CyanogenMod on AndroidOne

I have a Micromax Canvas A1, an AndroidOne device running Lollipop 5.1.1.
I have never rooted a phone before but do have an idea about it.... I need help as to how to flash CyanogenMod on my device. I found the download file but the CyanogenMod installer does not support my device; and what is the difference between sprout4 and sprout8 ?
What is TWRP and ClockworkMod?
I want install CyanogenMod do I need to root first? I don't know anything about flashing recoveries
.... if someone could please help...

First of all root your device... After rooting successfully instal cwm or twrp or philz recovery in your device and then go to recovery mode and flash the cyanogen mod rom files...but be careful to have a search with the terms that is unknown to you because anything that is performed wrongly can be very harmful for your device and it may cause damage and result into hardbrick....

rooted and installed a CM 12.1 nightly ....

Please anyone help me with how I am going to root my androidone phone I have never rooted any one before

Rooting, no problem!!!
If you are totally noob, then yu should download and install android one toolkit from the given link
http://www.mediafire.com/download/l8590x9kj779gan/Android_One_Toolkit_Update_1.2.1.exe
But you should have .NET FRAMEWORK 4.0 or above than that if you don't have it just take it from given link
http://www.freewarefiles.com/downloads_counter.php?programid=55008
After downloading and installing above applications you just open the android one toolkit, then click on ROOT button given on Rooting section.
https://www.google.co.in/imgres?img...wxLCI4ONNM&ei=Hbh7VujBDafgmAXxp7-wBg&tbm=isch
see the above picture
then yur mobile will be rooted and after that yu just flash the custom recovery like twrp, philz or cwm.
After all these procedures your mobile will be ROOTED and you are free to install any custom rom, custom kernel or many tweaks
GOOD LUCK FOR YOUR JOURNEY FROM A NOOB TO A GEEK.
:good::good::good:
If you don't have any comuter or laptop then you should try kingoroot or any one click root applications like kingroot, towel root etc. but personally i don't suggest it for MM cuz it dont work on it...:cyclops:
