my phone to factory settings and need to root again. My phone is updated to 4.1.2 now and the original root I used does not work anymore. My phone only reboots once instead of twice and the SuperSU binary files do not load. Nor is the app on my system tray. I saw a thread on here before asking about the ability to root again without unlocking bootloader. However, that thread did not help me in the slightest. Thank you for the time.
SPECS:
-LG Optimus G (ATT - E970)
-has 4.1.2 JB
-Rooted previously on ICS
-Was reset to factory settings
-cannot root on 4.1.2

I think I lost my root after flashing a rom.
I went from Stock ICS to DeleciousSandwich rom on my
Sony Live With Walkman Phone (with rooted, cwm installed & locked bootloader)
and everything works just fine with the exception that my root apps are not working. They report an error saying root access not working
What should I do?

wrong section...
you dont lose root when flashing a "normal" rom, they already come rooted. you did something wrong!
wrong section. should be in q&a
First this is a wrong section. This thread should start on questions and answer sub forum.
Is it jelly Bean ROM? If so, install SuperSU app.

Roms come usually prerooted, you may just loose CWM after flashing one, use as others told you supersu from playstore to grant root access ( it worked for me on several apps needing root not working on my device with sony's stock ics rom with locked bootloader)
Ok, I'm a complete noob when it comes to the Xperia. However I just recently had the same issue with my SGS2 T989. I went from Slim Bean to Galaxy SBean UNICEF. When I booted back up I lost root. After a long time of searching I just decided to reroot. I went with the ODIN method with openrecovery twrp. It worked nicely and I've gained all root access back.

No offense bro, but this is wrong thread. We have no xperience with that device, so we cant help u even if we want. This device is only selled in india,so i may advice u to ask ur question in the new created threads for indian devices. Look on xda news portal, there was a post few days ago about this.
Good luck to get ur root back
Hi.
Bought an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE (GT-i9305) but found out it has this SuperUSer app.
Does this mean the device is rooted? Will i have issues in installing it with the official Android 4.2.2 or 4.3 (if it comes) to the device?
Or can i install 4.2.2 or 4.3 with much ease? (As i am not famailiar with rooting a device)
Please advice. Thanks.
Yes it means your device is rooted and you have SUPERUSER control to your device...
And you can easily check out your root status with any of the app called Root checker..
Superuser is an app to control the permission for the apps that can change your system data..

In other words: you can do whatever you want to do with your device and there are no software limitations by (in your case) Samsung anymore.

The SuperUser program is also very helpful for managing the Root permissions of various applications. Some ROMs do not require a SuperUser program to accomplish this, while others do. Make sure to upgrade binaries (within the SuperUser app) before doing root-intensive activities (such as TitaniumBackup items).

You got it, the device is rooted.
So im sure there are probably a million posts pertaining to this issue,but I cant for the life of me seem to find them. So,i decided to sign up to this website to ask for help. I have an lg optimus l9 (p769) and when i got the phone i rooted it of course. Im still running ics by the way. The first thing I did when I rooted was delete all of the bloatware. Then I started getting the ota update for jellybean. So, i impulsively unrooted my phone so i could get the update. Problem is, because i deleted the bloatware, i cant get the update. I tried a factory reset but to no avail. So now I have an unrooted l9 running the primitive ics that will not install jellybean because i deleted the bloatware. How do i fix this???? Im just tired of being harangued by the ota updates and not being able to install them. Please help!!!

Download and install the 'L9RecoveryInstaller.apk'. This will install a bootstrapped version of CMW to your device. Bear in mind that this recovery is limited due to the fact that your bootloader is locked. You can get L9RecoveryInstaller here.
Use the offline KDZ method to install a prerooted CWM backup which you can find here

Do I have to flash a factory rom and root it before I can do this?

Yes a rooted ROM is a must. Remember this recovery is for locked bootloaders

Thanks, I'll give it a whirl. I'll let you know if my phone explodes.
I'm still on 4.2.2, I want to take the update. I tried when 4.3 update was pushed but got a "feature" error and it stopped. I'm planning to put the replacement files then update. Are there confirmed root methods and will allow me to keep my user files/settings? Is there a bootstrap ROM/Backup and Restore for this latest, at least the 4.3 first update not including latest?
Thanks

All your questions are well documented here on XDA and other forums.

if you have uninstalled any of the stock bloatware apps that come with the phone you would need to download and flash the no wipe ODIN file then upgrade. (or install the individual apk's as system apps) there is a safe root for both the MJ7 and MK2 versions. lastly as of now there is currently no way of flashing ROMS yet as the bootloader is still locked and Safestrap is not yet compatible. Hope that answered all your questions

There is no update to jelly bean for the tablet s
if its not giving you the option to update in setting then your at the peak of what is available for the tablet you will get a few websites saying that there is a jelly bean update but this information is false and you will brick your tablet trying to flash j.b to the tablet
You can use the a.i.o. tool to root and update the OEM APPS
If you do root apply the rescue backdoor so you can recover if things go wrong
Reading is your best tool read everything before you do anything then read it again the first two tabs from sony are notoriously hard to recover from soft brick
Im not goingto go in to what you need to do thats up to you to read the various threads on the fourm in relation to your tablet
After rooting you will be able to use xposed modules and the likes of gravity box to mod your system again its up to you what you do to the tablet and that you understand the risks involved
