greetings. i apologize in advance if my thread is not in the correct place.
damn my curiosity. i clicked the "temp unroot" in superuser and it unrooted my phone. bootloader is still unlocked, as well as recovery, but i don't have root access for apps. i can't uninstall and reinstall SU without root... am i screwed?
i'm hesitant to do another one click root process. mainly because it said it would delete all the data on the phone while unlocking the bootloader. but my bootloader is still unlocked...
also, will installing my latest nandroid backup restore root access?
thanks!

What makes u think u lost root?? You can install su from the market.. I think all you need to do is installed su, or supersu from the play store and you should be good to go.. I just looked at this setting is supersu and it says clean up to unroot.. Try reinstalling su... Or restoring a backup could do it too..

i know i lost root because i don't have root access in any of my apps. like titanium, root explorer, busybox...
i guess i'll try my nandroid backup. i've just made a lot of changes since then and without the option of titanuim, i'll lose it.oh well

Only the software can be "rooted" the term refers to superuser or admin access, root access to special privledges not available to regular users. The device software itself is exploited to allow a Rom root access. The device can be exploited for soff (security off) or the bootloader is unlocked allowing for access to write to the partitions in nand memory. In the case of HTC bootloaders they only allow partial write access to partitions, unofficial/unsigned recoveries do not have access to boot or misc partitions (kernel/firmware)
In response to op in superuser temp unroot is just an option to temporarily hide root, you should be able to just open the app and re-enable. Should that fail try supersu instead, there is a flashable zip on the dev's website that is flashed from recovery and should restore root access using supersu in place of superuser

Again words tossed around a lot. He hasn't lost anything he just removed root. He's fine if his recovery is intact. My assumption is that he feared he was back to stock then again I could be wrong besides root is a folder directory. Thanks for filling the op in.

Again its just an option to temporarily hide root, its not lost. You open the app go to settings and check temp unroot and to get it back, all that is needed is to uncheck temp unroot and restart phone. If it doesn't work which it should then reflash superuser or supersu in recovery to reenable admin access
Hello! I am new here. I have the same problem. I tried temp unroot just out of curiosity and now I think it is really permanently unrooted, because the temp-unroot checkox is no longer checked. I used the root checker and it says "Sorry! The device is not properly rooted". What does that mean? And only Titanium Backup asks for superuser permission. Whenever I use the Link2sd or Root Explorer, they don't ask for superuser permission and I get the error that my phone is not rooted.

Use Titanium, it's a system app on your rom, with titanium you can uninstall it or freeze it... I told you a couple posts before that twrp should do the trick, glad you got it fixed!

First post, I didn't see one about this already and want to let everyone know.
geohot has made it possible to root our VZW Stock Note 3 NC4 KitKat 4.4.2 via the website www.towelroot.com/
It's the most simple root tool I have ever used hands down. Go to the site on your mobile browser, click the lambda, download and run APK right on your phone. Device will reboot and you will have root. Just did this on my note 3 last night. Only thing I think you have to check is to make sure your kernel has a date of before June 3.

That worked. Root worked. SuperSU disabled knox. Awesome.
I got the worst of all possibilities. Installed towelroot, ran it, did not get SuperSu, but on restart, it shows as "Custom" which means that Knox was tripped. What are my options now? Running latest NC4 OTA update.

Not necessarily, boot into download mode and check know there. My phones said it since day 1 when I got it and threw on a custom rom. My Knox though is still 0x0. As I said you can check that on your download screen. I used towel root on another phone with no issues as well.
I installed towelroot, then used root checker to verify, then downloaded and installed supersu, then rebooted and let supersu disable knox. I'm on NC4 latest. It worked perfectly.

No you will need to find access to to a computer to fix it. Keep it powered off or pull battery till such time you find someones pc to use.

If you still have recovery, you should be able to just flash a rom.
If you don't, read the FAQ. When you unroot, you'll need to start from scratch. Stump is our only root and it only works the first time. Or when it's clean.
I never installed a custom recovery like TWRP OR the one that starts with C... I just have the stock room recovery and I don't see an option to flash a rom. What can I do here?....

I would suggest following instructions on downgrading to ZV4 (since stump root works for force brute in order to root your phone).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...g-g3-ls990-t2852042/post54912191#post54912191
Once you fully restore back to default stock, you will need to go ahead and install stump root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906
It will allow you to brute force root, which should take about 5 minutes.
After you reboot, you should have root. Go to the market and download supersu. From there you should be able to have root access. From there you need to download TWRP (my choice of recovery) http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-2-8-2-0-t2966129
Once that's done, you should be able to reinstall you ROM and profit.

If I were to use pingpong root, does apps(Titanium backup,viper4android,rooted uninstaller,etc) that use root trigger something? Like from System protection it says no unauthorized system changes detected, will it be triggered?
Also just to clarify, they don't trip knox aswell right?

For that you should replace king root with SuperSU, it's in the app possible to remove SuperSU easily
Please don't use kingroot as it's very difficult to remove. It really sticks to the system. There's a wide range of cases of people deeply regretting installed kingroot.
And you need always to unlock the bootloader. There is no known root method without it. But unless you need unrooted apps like homebanking you'll be fine.
Use supersu. Period!

Save yourself from trouble and go with supersu.
To install OTA you just need to go to app and remove root option. Even in some Huawei models you don't need to unroot.

Unroot at Supersu app. There's an option there.
Flash original boot.img and recovery.img via ADB. Only seems difficult the first time, then it's a walk in the park.

The only thing you need from the mac side is Google or Huawei drivers and ADB installed. There are various tutorials for these.
Also Mac already have a terminal emulator to run ADB commands. It's easy. Go and install drivers and ADB. Then connect phone to Mac, after selecting debugging option in developer options in phone settings. Turn off phone. Press vol- and power until screen comes on.
Run fastboot device command in ADB terminal and post here the results.
