I just updated my device from MK6 to NA7. My device was rooted..But obviously it is not rooted anymore after the upgrade. However, the same method i used to root MK6 isn't working for NA7. Any advice on how to regain root access? In the mean time i went back to MK6 and re-rooted my device until i can root the newer version..then i will re-update and root.
If you have Phil's touch recovery then go to Phil's settings and re root and after booting install supersu from play store and update binaries the normal way after opening app.. else go to chain fire thread of supersu and download zip file and flash it through recovery...

I rooted my LG G3 with StumpRoot. Everything went fine and I had successful root. Checked it and all. Then I flashed the new Barren ROM (v1) and I lost root. I tried re-running StumpRoot and StumpRoot is claiming I already have my device is already rooted. However, any application that requires root or Superuser, it says that root is not detected. I have Superuser on my phone.
Did you flash through TWRP?
Can you still boot into recovery, and does TWRP come up as your recovery?
This ^^^^^
I have no idea how you can lose root when it's built into it.
Now if you took the OTA update then you will lose root.
Then you have to revert back to zv4 via Flashtool if you want root again.
The FAQ, and the ZV6 threads have all to info you need.

I don't know how I lost root either. I did not do any OTA updates. All I did was "Update Profile" to get my data working again. I've rooted and flashed roms on many phones, never had this issue until the G3.

Did you unlock the bootloader with "Bump", so you have TWRP?
Then just flash the Rom again. Or any Rom for that matter

I downloaded the TWRP listed on some thread on Sprint LG G3 then used flashify on my rooted G3 to flash it, after that I flashed the custom ROM using TWRP.
Since then, I tried to boot into recovery (power+volume down) and it just booted into safe mode.
Also, if/when I do boot it into recovery, should I also try flashing a SuperSU rom too?

The only thing I can think of is that the download was corrupt. I would try flashing TWRP with Flashify again. If that works, then reinstall SuperSU. That should get you root back. Then download a ROM again, verify the MD5, and flash in TWRP.
If Flashify won't run, then try reinstalling SuperSU, and see if that helps. If not, I think you'll have to revert to the stock ZV4 ROM with LG's Flashtool.
I suggest the Barrin V2 ROM. It's the latest version of Barren, built on the ZV6 ROM instead of ZV4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/development/rom-barrin-odexed-deodexed-t2950747
I tried using flashify and it gave me an error saying I needed root. I tried booting intorecovery husing the instructions and it either just boots up regularly or goes into safe mmode. Have I bricked my phone to this Rom?
Revert to stock as explained here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...de-how-to-restore-sprint-lg-g3-ls990-t2852042
Then reroot, and start over.
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.
SCH-I545 on stock rooted 5.0.1
I was originally rooted with KingRoot but ran into a few problems and ended up doing a factory reset through stock recovery (obviously since I can't run a custom recovery)the whole wipe data & cache.
After restarting and setting up again, I installed root checker and it said I'm rooted just didn't have any supersu app so I downloaded one from the app store but it keeps failing to update the binary and, again, I can't try doing it through CWM/TWRP.
Is there any means of forcing it to update?
Either kingroot is still installed, or you don't have root (I'm thinking). If you uninstall kingroot, it will unroot. So you probably have a super user app installed (that's how a root checker works- it asks permission from the super user app.) You can switch to SuperSU.... Don't think I can post a link, so just Google: replace Kingroot with SuperSU. After you complete the instructions, then update the binary.
I am running Android 5.01 and I was rooted and Busybox needed to update. It failed and I lost root. I am unable to reinstall SuperSU even though I have TWRP Recovery. When I reboot there is no SuperSU installed and root does not work.
nevermind I just found it easier to start over. restored recovery files back to default stock and rooted phone again. What a mess.
