How did you root it to begin with ?
Your root manager app must have this option

that's a pretty exotic manner to root your device lol (I guess you meant TWRP and not Twerk because I don't really want to think you twerked in front of your phone and gained root privilege instantly, no one is that attractive)
Did you flashed the Magisk zip? What was the zip you flashed?

Wow I think you need to reset the whole thing... Do a backup before, and flash the stock rom with twrp. I'm not specialized in unbricking phones, I know that's an option but someone with more experience may know a way around the reset. Do some reserch on how to unbrick and if you don't find anything then just wipe and flash the stock rom (or a custom rom)

Will this exploit work in any other device. when i try to install the play store warns about the vulnerability. Will this vulnerability be gone after uninstalling oppoown.

It should be patched in 4.4.
But some (read most) OEMs still can't manage to patch their devices up to the latest security updates on release.
Anyway, I tested this root method a week or so ago and it works nicely

It depends on if OEMs backported it, depends on which build OEMs used and depends on the bug. Four or five different zip parser bugs with similar results. This one I used was patched in 4.3, but other exist.
Im trying to figure out why oppown apk will not install in my n1. everytime i try it just. Says app not installed. But on the install screen it says something about being an update to an already installed program. Any clues as to what the issue is? all ive done is update to the latest ota software and im currently located in indonesia if that makes a difference.

It should not come rooted, if it comes rooted then no way did it pass CTS. I'm guessing unlocking the bootloader and flashing a recovery? I don't know, I dont have one

You don't need to root if you aren't staying on stock. There's no lock anywhere on the bootloader or anything.
Simply flash TWRP in fastboot, then flash Omni (or whatever else) through TWRP.
You should be able to just flash a SuperSU zip in TWRP as well if you want to root the stock ColorOS.

Make sure to copy Omnirom to your phone at some point
3) flash it in recovery? No - Flash TWRP in Fastboot if you haven't flashed the recovery already. Use the official Teamwin site for guidance
4) reboot recovery wipe cache and dalvik flash omnirom.. Wipe Cache, Dalvik, System, and Data

This is off-topic for this thread though. Questions/Info for flashing Omnirom should be addressed in the Omnirom thread.

4.3 or 4.4.2?
If you have a custom recovery, flash through it
If you are completly stock (stock recovery, s-on, 4.4.2) you cant.
You dont need root to flash a rom, just custom recovery (twrp or cwm).

If your phone is Locked and S-ON, use firewater
http://firewater-soff.com/
If your phone is already unlocked and S-OFF flash twrp recovery and just flash the rom you want
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2416431
It might be a good Idea to read up on these before you attempt it.
also don not take the 4.4.2 OTA or you'll be stuck without root or S-OFF.

Depending on what build you are on (newer ones can't go it), you may be able to fastboot boot recovery instead of flashing recovery. Once booted into recovery, you can flash SU or SuperSU.
You need to be bootloader unlocked either way. So I actually don't see a point in doing what you ask. Once you root, you can always install stock recovery again.

That is not exactly what I said. If the phone is 4.4.3 or 4.4.2, OP should be able to fastboot boot recovery without flashing it. Then flash SU/SuperSU. I've seen others do it this way, although I personally don't see much point to it.
But yes, bootloader still needs to be unlocked.

Booting it instead of flashing it is better if you want to make a backup of stock recovery. Especially if it's Philz that you're booting since TWRP doesn't seem to make backups of the stock recovery anyways.
Using the dd command to make a "copy" of the recovery works if you're rooted and to be rooted you have to have custom recovery which doesn't help much since you lose stock recovery the moment you flash the custom one, but if you boot it and root then at least you can use the dd command if that is the way you want to make a "backup" of your stock recovery. Silly little circle to run around in

To get updates you need a stock ROM unmodified, it can be rooted just do not mess with build.prop or platform.xml. However, to be able to install updates you need a stock recovery.

As long as you have a stock recovery it's all good. But even if you have a custom one, before doing the update install a custom recovery. Make the update, and after that if you want flash again a custom recovery.

That doesn't sound right. After you flashed the nandroid, if you are not rooted twrp may have asked you if you want to install supersu. Did you swipe to install? I would try reflashing the nandroid and make sure not to install supersu in twrp.
if you're going to return it, why not just flash RUU back to stock.
How can I unroot my HTC one m9
It seems that the Nougat and Marshmallow are the same procedures. The reason why I have made this post is, why didn't anyone here say that it is no different than the Marshmallow procedure?!
So far, everything is working without any complain!
Network is fine. Did I forget something that I should check if it's working or not?
Why should it be mentioned it isn't changed. It's actually only important when things DO change ! No news......no change. Simple as that. And if you do a xda search there will very likely be a post which will mention there are no changes regarding unlocking the bootloader, even sunshine to S-Off the device is still working the same.
Don't expect to be spoonfed but do some good old fashioned research. Checking the HTC dev site and the procedures there to unlock the bootloader hasn't changed either. Even their whole website layout hasn't changed.
But if something hasn't changed in the future we will put a reminder up to tell you
