Hey guys,
So I decided to flash the newest TrickDroid ROM (ver 11.0, I believe), and for whatever reason, my phone is telling me it isn't rooted anymore. I made a backup of all my data using Titanium, but I don't believe I made a Nandroid backup. SuperUser is saying that is needs to update the su binary, but I get an error when I try to update. Titanium can't do anything because it doesn't have root access.
I have VERY limited knowledge about this stuff and I really am not sure what to do. Please help! And thank you!

Go to the download section and choose the third option which is the link to flashable zips on his website. Go ahead and download the latest version, I believe it's 1.65 at the moment. Then just flash it in recovery, no need to wipe your data or anything.
See if that helps, should restore your root.

Thanks! Another problem (and this might require a new topic), it seems like every time I try to uninstall apps via tibu, when I restart my phone ALL of those apps come back. Most of them are HTC apps, but some aren't. I've uninstalled them 4 times now and they KEEP COMING BACK. It's very odd.
Also, I received an error (also in tibu) mentioning my Device ID had changed? I had it change it back, but perhaps this is related to the issue?

No it's not related. A quick Google search will tell you why they come back.

The only info I could find was the possibility that I might need to change my kernel. Which would be terra nova for me, as I'm upgrading from a previous version of Trickdroid. Maybe you were able to find something else?

i asked the same question on how to remove it without flashing back to stock. I just want to uninstall it. i have asked in several threads with no response...
there must be a way to do this without flashing back to stock....
use root manager's system app uninstaller and remove MobileAP.apk
you can do it with the new task manager in ji6
I tried to uninstall using Root Manager but It didn't work. It only makes Mobile AP useless but still in my wireless setting and I'm having force close problems because of it. I uninstalled the apk. and the data files but no luck.

as long you're rooted, you will not be able to successfully install the ota update. my gf's phone was semi bricked while two of her friend's with non rooted vibrant updated fine.
After removing the MobileAP.apk, try going into recovery and clearing cache.

Dont worry about the APP. I would personally recommend you keep it on your phone. You never know when you might need it. Unless you are running out of space.
Secondly, why are you waiting for Tmobile to push the update to you, when you can just grab a copy in the dev section and install it through ODIN. This way you do not have to worry about stuck at boot up issues that others are complaining about.

Task manager doesn't handle this. You may remove this via TitaniumBackup if you have it installed.

No, Titanium Backup will pull all your app information, including system info/apps, on the initial start up. So you can install it AFTER the fact and it will still see it.
That being said, I just checked mine and it only shows Mobile AP Settings, I went ahead and Froze it (basically freezing it will remove the program as if it has been uninstalled and disable it even though it is still technically installed) and it won't let me use the AP anymore (it just FC's), but the menu item is still there.
FYI though, the OTA will wipe your current ROM which includes the AP and replace it with stock JI6 so it will remove it for you when you get the OTA.
Now that I have said all that....I used my search-fu for you and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7730798&postcount=84
Don't know if it will work, but it looks promising and is worth a shot. As always, be ready to get out ODIN if it bricks your phone. Good luck.
EDIT: I believe a flashable zip will be the only way to revert the mobile AP because it must be installed with a flashable zip. It isn't an APK like normal as it is actually embedded in the ROM itself. (Thus the built in menu options).

I flashed the stock 4.1.2 and a new modem that I found on here to my phone. Ever since then whenever I open the su app it says that the su binary doesn't exist. Problem is I tried to flash the newest binary and it didn't do anything. I also tried to flash using Odin and it messed up the rom. I can't figure out how to get su working again. Can someone help me?

I had similiar issues. It seems others have had the same issue too. If you have installed superuser by ChainsDD then go to the play store and install Superuser by ClockworkMod. Then remove the ChainsDD version. If you have the ClockworkMod version installed and not working then install the ChainsDD version. Worked for me.
Something finicky about this 4.1.2 ROM. Modems and Superuser don't install properly and have to be installed twice.
Edit....supersu by chainfire is actually the version i am using now.
Well op.... what exactly did you flash?
If you flashed stock...and not a prerooted package, you're not rooted. Which is why there's no su binary.
Also, how did you try to root with Odin? If you used an old gingerbread method of flashing a kernel...that would indeed mess up the Rom.

after a million try's I found out how to fix the problem some of the people here give bits of the real way to deal with the un able to start supersu... fist thing use odin to flash philz 15. whatever file that you seen in the thread ( after clean catch and davik and factory reset) then flash the new 4.3 custom rom onto your note 2. Reboot your phone !!!! wen setting up your phone DO NOT set up your google e-mail account when it asks you. Just "skip" everything. NOTE... after you setup the language install from scratch you can always link your google account after everything i tell you to do and phone gets the superSU premissons... okay onto the last step do not open supersu, go to google playstore type in supersu and update it then turn off your phone without opening supersu then boot if everything is back to normal by checking get root checker witch can be downloaded from the app store... btw it was funny how one person said they were afraid of bricking there phone LOL its impossible to brick your phone unless your as brainless as him.. the main problem with jellybean 4.3 and your google account is that it blocks any programs like supersu from before your even able to start your phone. by not sync'ing the google account with your phone it allows supersu to install without GOOGLE blocking it... btw make sure you wipe all catch and select the option clear to flash new rom in philz recovery... one good luck guys this fix took me about 200 trys and 12 hours but its yours now...
I have the 4.3 stock HTC Sense on my phone. The stock phone app it came with keeps asking for supersu permissions every day. I grant it without having it ask me again, but I was just curious as to why it needs permissions in the first place.

Anyone get an answer to this? Just happened to me. I think it might be to do with SuperSU updating though as I just had to update it after catching this message.
First of which app you trying to run, second was it a new device or used that you got. If used check the bootloader if it locked/unlocked/relocked.
Some apps require SU pemissions in order to run. If your device is rooted I would suggest to update to the latest SU all available on the xda forums v.1.89
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
This only atarted recently. Just happened again. SuperSU blocks it by default if I don't do anything. But I don't know if to allow it. It is now in SuperSU list as 'Phone'. I was using the phone earlier today and it did not ask for permissions. Android 4.3 Trickdroid last build. SuperSU is up to date.
I've been getting this as well. My old HTC One did not do this. But the speaker blew out. After getting a replacement and rooting (and unlocking, S-Off), this started happening on the Stock AT&T ROM for 4.3. I never ran the stock ROM on my original so I wasn't sure if it was normal or not.

Why is SuperSU even on a stock non root phone? If it has SuperSU on it, then that would tell me the phone the OP has that he thinks is stock is not stock. I don't consider a rooted phone to be stock, and that is most likely what the OP has.
I am rooted and s-off. It has not asked again for a while and is not listed in SuperSU anymore. But the log shows 'Phone' made 3 attempts.
This happened to me last night around 8:00. I unlocked the phone, and the SuperSU request was already showing when I unlocked, counting down from 7. I let it time out, but I didn't find it a little nerve-racking. I checked the SuperSU log, and it tried the night before around the same time, as well.

I have a Galaxy S5 from T-Mobile and was using TWRP recovery. I had made a back-up of everything and had to restore using it. After the restore Every app I tried to open had this error "unfortunately (app name) has stopped. This was with every app!!! Is there a setting I am missing? Could it have to do with other back-ups , i.e. Dropbox , Google or Samsung. Do these have to be turned off?
Please help.

Hey Leon, sorry for your problem.
When you made a back up, it was with twrp or titanium backup, or something else?
I had an issue using the backup feature of any custom recovery, so I stick to using titanium backup and having it back everything up to my sd card so if I flash anything and the internal memory is wiped, I still have my data.
Hope you get it figured out Leon.
TWRP 2.7.0.0 makes reliable backups for the S5. There was an update to 2.7.1.0 a few weeks ago (the version number in your thread title is incorrect). The changelog for the current version doesn't appear to suggest any major changes and I don't see any reason to rush into an upgrade. Newer isn't necessarily better and I will wait a while before updating in case any unexpected bugs arise.
Having said that, it's unlikely that there is a problem with TWRP. The TWRP team does great work and bugs are rare. You should read the TWRP threads to see if anyone else is having problems. The existing threads would also be a more effective place to seek assistance. Bugs should be posted to the TWRP github issues log so that they can address them.
.
I have there exact same problem. I was too lazy to report that and then I saw your that. After restoring the backup, none of the apps open. No solution yet.

An easy workaround and a way to identify some alternate causes of your difficulties would be to use version 2.7.0.0 for now since it has been widely reported as reliable.

You posted earlier that you had the exact same problem as the OP. But now it turns out that you're not even using the same version of TWRP as he is.
If you missed that critical detail, it raises the real possibility that you might be using a TWRP build intended for a different device. And that would surely cause just the type of problem that you are having. Ensure that you are using a TWRP or Philz build that is intended for your exact handset.

i recently rooted my Galaxy S4 verizon SCH-I545 5.0.1 My main reason for doing so is because i want to install CM12 (to improve battery and no bloatware) but need to back up my stock ROM before wiping anything, so i can restore if anything gets messed up but when i installed CWM via ROM manager app , i booted in recovery only to discover that i didn't have the option to back up my stock ROM...nothing that says "back up and restore" or anything remotely close...so after alot of reading a searching it looks like TWRP was the one that most suggested for my phone. My question is, can i just use Flashify and flash TWRP over the existing CWM?? will this mess anything up or brick my phone??? please help and excuse my ignorance

I did want to mention if you're really new that I'd be careful with the apps. Generally it's not good to uninstall or delete system apps and sometimes Google apps are the same way. A lot of times but not always, you can freeze those and be alright, other times it'll make your phone go crazy so I'd check out the posts on the safe apps to freeze. Another good thing about freezing them is if you have any issue, just unfreeze those.

sorry mate, can't do cwm or twrp or cm.
Of1 rooted, roll back to MDK?
I have vzw s4 rooted with odin on OF1 and took the 5.0.1 OTA update. Is it possible to rollback to MDK or earlier version of Android so i can install TWRP or CWM, to be able to flash whatever custom rom i choose? Like do i need to downgrade say to 4.3 so i can upgrade to 6.0 cm13? If this is at all possible which android should i downgrade to?
Similar question here. I have a Verizon S4 (SCH-I545) and am on OF1. I just did a full factory restore using the recovery assistant software, I did not get an option of a version. From what I have been reading, it sounds like there is no way to get back to an earlier version, is that really true? I find it very hard to find current information, most of what I dig up seems to be dated. I just rooted the phone. All I really want is to install the AOSP ROM. I don't care what hoops I have to jump through, if only there is a path! I have tried Odin but keep getting an error that again I have not found any useful info on.
