Hi, I rooted my Xperia SP yesterday via TowelRoot and everything was great. I used SuperSU which was fine but I decided to factory reset as I wanted to root with a custom rom which ended up an awful idea. Now my phone will not work will SuperSU, root explorers but TowelRoot still somehow 'works'.
Any ideas on how to either completely remove the root or completely root?

Hey guys, first time root here. HTC One AT&T 32gb
I was succesfully through the process, used a guide on htconeroot.com to go through all of the steps. Everything went just as expected and I had root access through superSU (was able to install and use root apps, such as Titanium Backup and AdFree). I used Root Manager to flash Clockworkmod because I saw a ROM I'd like to use in the future that only supported that custom recovery. After succesfully flashing that, I then made a backup using Root Manager. Everything was successful and expected, but upon reboot into my stock ROM from the original unrooted phone I had apparently lost SU binaries and root access. Also, ROM Manager (v5.5.3.0) cannot find any backups.
I tried reflashing superSU from the original rooting guide (UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip), and while it was successfully rooted, I still did not gain root access. I had read through some forums that using the stock ROM that came with the phone might lose root because of the stock recovery, but not sure if that is what happened. I have not installed a custom ROM on this phone yet.
Any help would be appreciated.
UPDATE: Solved, had to select "No" when rebooting from CWM on stock recovery option
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 T99L with 4.3 version.. I recently decided to try to root it (I rooted my old phone, but since this one was new i dint root it before) and its giving me headaches!
I rooted it with CF Auto Root for the same model, I followed instructions (using Odin to root), and when my phone resets, I think its KNOX or the system itself blocks SuperSU. This is another problem, I open SuperSU and the first thing it appears is ''There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it'' and then it closes and theres a notification that SuperSU got blocked by the security thing. PLEASE HELP!
Btw: I cant find stock for t99l
Hi,
Today I purchased a new LS990 which was rooted by stump method. Since SuperSU was not installed I installed it and while updating SU binaries it failed and I lost root. When I open StumpRoot it shows rooted but non of the apps have root access.
I am on LS990ZV4. Even did factory reset and then installed Stump root again but still the same problem.
Is there any method by which I can get the root back. The stock tot file is 2.8 GB and I do not have that much data left.
and since I did factory reset I also lost apn settings and to use data I need shortcut master to work which requires root.
Please help.
If you have a custom recovery you can try to download and flash the latest su zip there. If not then you have to use the lgflash tool and go back to stock and re root. Stump won't root unless your completely back to original out of box state.

Did you update the su binaries via TWRP? If not try that method, it always works for me.
Hi everyone
When my g2m is running stock lollipop, I rooted it with Kingroot. I rooted it through the computer, but after the phone rebooted, the computer said rooting failed. Then I installed Kingroot on my phone, and it succeeded! Then, I unlocked bootloader and flashed recovery using terminal and rashr. And after these, I installed cm13. Then I couldn't call, so I wiped the whole internal memory (system) and reinstalled CM13. Then I Kingroot (same as the above method) and rerooted it. But failed. One day, I tried rooting it again and succeeded! But the next day, Kingroot said the device is unrooted again. Will it cause any Big problems to my g2m? Remarks: I can still boot to recovery and bootloader.
All custom ROMs are pre-rooted.
You shouldn't try to root them.
Sent from my LG G2 Mini using XDA Labs
device: Xperia Z2 d6503 23.4.a.1.264 stock rom rooted and recovery
what I want: install .570 rom without flashing (cause it wipes everything and I don't want to re install all the apps)
my phone notified me about an ota update (to .570) and when I tried to update, it re booted, started updating and then it failed and the phone re booted to recovery. after that I found out that the recovery or the root could be the problem so I removed them, and tried again to update but it failed (exactly the same as before). I tried to update many times, but it failed every time. then I connected it to pc (thinking that I could update it with pc companion or xperia companion), but it showed the next update, the 23.5.a.1.291 and not the .570, what I wanted.
I also tought about trying to update with supersu pro survival mode (because it can keep root across updates), so someone could confirm that if it works?
Flash a pre rooted zip of 575 you won't loose any apps

I think it factory resets the phone and I also want the stock customization

You'll only lose the mods that you install or anything you did on your ROM
