I lost root access, probably when flashing cubed kernel or Hatka ROM, where can I download and install the su binary? I assume that will suffice? I'm using TWRP for flashing.
Many thanks.
Edit: reinstalled 3.1.3 superuser zip from TWRP.
For those that don't know what to flash, this su package will fix it, just flash it when you don't see root with a new rom and you're golden.

Hey
I just flashed VillainRom KG3 with CWM and I lost root acces. I have the ninethephine kernel (or so)
In on holiday and forgot my usb cable. Is there a way to get root acces back so I can flash MIUI?
Thx

If you flashed CF-Root at least once, you have an app called CWM. Now, download and flash CF-Root from within CWM app's flash kernel functionality. I did it once and it works. CF-Root comes with root so you'll instantly be rooted. The same can be done with Rom Manager app too, I think but I haven't tried that.
Lol I just could flash the rom from CWM.

Once rooted and with CWM you can flash most custom roms via CWM including kernels .
A good tip is to leave the rom you flash on SD card you can then easily reflash in case of problems .

Another idea: install superuser and busybox from the market and see if you get your root back?
I don't know how you lost your root so these ideas may be crap, but you can always try, LOL...
Look for the CWM apk and download SU from Market, install both then reboot.
So I've used Method 1 off this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794
I could get to CWM touch and install the second zip and it looked like it was going to work, then after installation is complete I went to reboot the system.
Reboot was good and I looked in application draw and saw Superuser, But yet when I opened the app it came up with
"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it.This is a problem!"

Ok I've updated SuperSU but yet again I've been given the same error message.
I've also tried install busybox, but its telling me that it can verify If i'm rooted or not.

Flash this through the stock recovery or CWM:
http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
It'll install the binary and Superuser.apk for you. You just need to install Busybox after.

Ok So I've flashed the zip now,
But yet again when I reboot I get the same message when I open SuperSU that I don't have the right binaries and when I try to install busybox It again can't verify.
Next time, better post in corresponding thread as i do not monitor other forums.
What phone do you use?
What ROM?
What kernel?
Have you rooted before with another method / custom kernel?

Ok,
I have a GT-19100
I use ICS 4.0.3
I have the stock kernel.
and I've only used method one of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28178105
and what nicholas1520 has given me, none working.
Try the unroot script then root again. If nothing works, try an alternative kernel like cfroot or Siyah. Strange, you never never rooted before? I have doubt. Some leftovers in /system from a previous root. Wipes and rom flash in odin does not wipe /system

When I tried to use the unroot zip I got a message like invalid signiture or the like, and yes I've never rooted before I've only owned the phone for about a week and your method was the first one I've tried

You will never get signature error in cwm. You do it from stock recovery. Read the guide...

I was so ignorant, I diddn't read it properly.
I've unrooted through the zip.
Lets try this again
You flashed the zip I've posted in the stock recovery?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Yea I did but when I flashed it I diddn't unroot from previous, So possibly there is some confliction.
Maybe I could try flashing through cwm touch?
Of course, these zip files all need to be flashed in cwm, not stock recovery

I downloaded Titanium backup but when I started it says "Your phone is not rooted" I go to SuperSU but it says you have to update Su binary through recovery...so how I am supposed to do that, where should I go and what to do to get my SuperSU updated ? I am using JB myONEdx.
Download the last version of supersu as .zip and flash though recovery

It appears that CWM cannot be retained in the newest official update. (just an assumption) Some people reported to have successfully installed CWM thru odin but when they go to recovery, they were back to stock. What seems to be the issue here? Is there any work around?
Maybe the phone is reflashing stock recovery by itself during boot.
I don't know if it will work, but I usually root my phone first and then I install CWM via terminal emulator, using dd as root:
# dd if=/sdcard0/recovery of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
Try a new update to the cwm and after that flash a custom rom such as JaspHD or PONLEWA after that your query might be solved...
