Lost Root access - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

I used odin to root and went two weeks with just a stock rooted phone. i downloaded team venum jellybean and used CWM to install. at the end of the installation when i went back to reboot i got a "may have lost root" would you like to fix, after doing this and the rom loaded i had lost all root permissions...Anybody know where this noob went wrong? You can be brutal in your repsonse my fellow internet travels, any help would be thankful.

Did you double check if you still have root access? You can check by installing root checker from the play store. If you do still have root access make sure you still have super su installed. If not install that from the play store as well. Worst case scenario of you don't have root access. Just root again.

Did you install a recovery via odin? If not you can't install twrp through goo manager if you haven't installed a recovery yet.

[Q] No app root access after HTC unlock.

So I did the HTC unlock after receiving my Asurion claim (1.19 Hboot) a couple months ago. I haven't messed around with it much because I've been busy irl. I installed TWRP, Fresh, and just recently the "deSensed ICS ~ Dialer, Tumblers & Apps! -Updated Mean4.4 & Goodies2.11!" theme. Now I've been thinking I'd really like to just flash CM10 now that it's starting to mature so I installed TB and it wasn't able to gain root access (tried a couple different SU apps). I checked several other apps and none were able to gain root (ES file explorer, Quick Boot, Root Explorer, etc). I originally thought that the issue was the fact I flashed Fresh over the stock rom after just wiping Cache but I just wiped everything (Cache, Dalvik, System, Factory Reset, in that order), flashed a newly downloaded Fresh rom, and downloaded TB and got the same "Root Access: Failed" error. I'm at a loss. I'm running Fresh, I have TWRP installed, but I have no root access. Any help would be appreciated.

try root checker basic from the playstore to confirm you are rooted but it doesn't make sense the you can have twrp and flash fresh without root
Sounds like your Su binaries may have got messed up. Try using only one Su and see if that works. You may need to flag Su in twrp

That's what I'm saying, it doesn't make sense.Root Checker gave me "Sorry! This device does not have proper root access"

I had the SU that comes in Fresh installed and it wasn't working so last night I installed a different one from the market, that didn't work either, uninstalled. I tried updating binaries on one (couldn't find the option to do it on the other) and that worked fine but it failed to gain root.
Just now I fixed Permissions via TWRP, deleted the SU that comes with Fresh via TWRP, uninstalled and reinstalled the other SU with the same results.
Try going into su and check grant permissions automatically and make sure fastboot is unchecked.....see if that helps

HUH?
I tried re-locking and doing the HTC unlock again. I restored my Fresh nandroid and I have the same results. I'll try re-locking and unlocking again when I get a chance and this time I'll see if SU works before restoring.
I have same issues. Adaway and wifi tether both say I have no root. Running meanRom 4.6 with s-on. Will be watching thread for hopeful fix.

I actually unlocked my phone last night 10-17-12 using htcdev (still S-on)... Everything was and still is stock and TB, Adfree and tether tells me I'm not rooted... Was wondering the same thing.

Can I have a link to a flashable one, the one from market isn't cutting it?
Hit it twice and make it count.
Unlocked does not give you root. It enables you to install a Rom with root access or install superuser. If you are unlocked and have installed a custom Rom with root support, you should already have superuser in the app drawer. Update whatever superuser app you have to the newest, and reboot.

[Q] SuperSU, Installed Failed

Hello!
My phone (Cherry Mobile Bubble Android 2.3.5) was rooted before through Mobogenie's One Click Root. I don't have any problem my apps gaining root access. But i can't do software update, so i thought that's because of being rooted. So I did permanent root at SuperSU settings, and I have successfully updated my phone. But when I rooted my phone again, I can't gain root access through SuperSu. It always shows "Installation failed". I do have an update zip file on my sd cards root. But to no avail.
Please help. I'm noob regarding on this.
You cant just install SuperSU and expect it to work. You need to use your 1 click tool again. Or another full rooting method.
When you unrooted the binaries that was root were deleted.

In addition, I already did uninstalling and re-installing superSU. And I have also tried to use Superuser or any other superuser app, but nothing happens. I already did a factory reset, but still no change.

Thanks for the reply
I already did that. I've rooted it again through one click root, and it says i am rooted. But SuperSu says, installation failed. While superuser says, it can't gain root access.
I have lost root access before when I updated SuperSu, I can't remember what i did then. But i was able to get back root access.
If you have a custom recovery superSU has the option to flash the correct one manually.

No, i don't have any custom recovery
Is there other way for me to flash the correct one?
Try Vroot, its another one click root method. I used it on my Note 3 and installed superSU afterwards. One downside is it's chinese, so its hard to read lol.

[Q] Am I rooted or not?

Okay recently I went through the steps listed in the article below to root my HTC One M8
http://androidcentral.us/2014/04/root-att-htc-one-m8/
Well it all went according to plan. So to test out my new rooted status I went and downloaded Xposed Framework and Unicon. After consistently trying to install/update the framework in Xposed (i never received an error. It would reboot just fine) I noticed that the update never applied. Though I never received an error, upon rebooting the update to Xposed was never applied. Just to check I downloaded an app to check my root status and well, I was not rooted somehow. I rebooted to TWRP quiet easily and installed the SuperSU zip which was located on my internal storage. (not sure if it had to be on an SD card, I don't have one.) It was flashed okay and I rebooted. I went back to check my root status and the root checker said I was officially rooted now. I downloaded another root checker just to be sure and it confirmed I was indeed rooted.
However, this is where the issue came in. Xposed now says I'm not rooted. Everytime I try to install the update, instead of rebooting it gives me an error that says "Failed to get root status." I had never received this error, even when root checkers said I wasn't rooted. Here is the thing, I'm not sure what I did wrong? Can someone point out a problem here? Something had to go wrong along the way but I'm really confused. Am I rooted or not? Root checker apps say I'm rooted, but Xposed says I'm not. How do I fix this problem?
There is an app in the app store called root checker its free check there first

Yeah I downloaded that. I covered that in my post. I downloaded the app and it said I'm rooted. However, Xposed says I'm not rooted. Essentially, I'm getting mixed results. The root checker says one thing and Xposed says another

Not getting rooted again!

So I was rooted and I ran a security program just checking viruses and I saw a virus thing called Android exploit root.. So I searched up Android Exploit Root but nothing came up except how to root and other stuff so I just deleted the things that the virus scanner said there were two a system root app and a data file I don't actually know .. but it couldn't be deleted so I installed a system app uninstaller and uninstalled the system app which was called Kinguser and after that I restarted my phone and root was gone I tried to re root but nope it fails I kept on trying but nope.. well I searched up how to unroot and I was supposed to deleted the su file in system/xbin or system/bin but I didn't do that first now I'm stuck... Also I tried to install a stock firmware but I couldn't find any for my phone. My Phone is Galaxy Core Advance! HELP I NEED TO ROOT AGAIN!

Kinguser is the root app hence why you no longer have root. I would suggest flashing something like supersu or even superuser

Not necessarily, if no custom recovery is available you can still root it. You already have had the device rooted once

Like I said I did install it while I had kingroot but deleted after about an hour ago but I think the busybox files are still there in my phone Im not sure still dont have root though
This has worked for me before. Just run the King user app, don't even try to re root it. The app should try to fix itself and *MAY* install your missing files.It has worked for me countless times. Hope it helps.
You are the best THANKS SO MUCH

Can I recover root?

I had an issue with storage on my S5 and unintentionally uninstalled SuperSU and lost root.
My phone still shows Knox as being modified and device is labeled custom. I can go into twrp recovery, but superSU won't open, says I am not rooted.
Is there a way to get root without having to use Odin and a PC? Or do I have to start fresh again? I'm on stock 6.0.1
I'm sure I have to re root but, I'm hoping someone might have an idea since the only reason the root is gone is Super SU file got deleted.
Thanks in advance

In case anyone was curious about my post and if I found an answer. I was able to get my phone rooted again without a PC or having to do anything special.
Since my phone had been rooted already and TWRP is installed already, I just needed to download the latest version of superSU zip, go into recovery using TWRP install the superSU zip file and the phone rebooted. Once the phone was up I opened superSU app and it said all was well.
I then downloaded jrummy Root Check and verified root. Installed jrummy's Busy Box and my already paid for version of superSU pro.
Next will be Titanium backup and the pro version.
So, it was so easy, getting root back. I knew there had to be an easy way because all I did was accidentally delete the superSU files and that was it.
I hope this helps someone who has the same problem I had.
