I've been using this LG G3 for a few weeks without any issue. Bought it used and have been happy with it. Getting down to business tinkering I downloaded Stump Root and SuperSu. When I fired up Stump Root grind was already greyed out and it said my device is rooted. If it's rooted why am I getting this screen from SuperSu. My G3 is at 4.4.2. Trying to research before posting is there no root currently for 4.4.2? I'm confused why it says I'm rooted if I'm having this issue with SuperSu.

This happened to me yesterday after I had flashed a rom and I was stuck for hours till I had the brilliant idea of flashing super su again and it fixed just download and flash in recovery and when it reboots you have to download supersu from the play store and the first time you open it, it will ask if you want to update binary normal or using recovery I clicked normal and fixed. Hope it helps

Did you flash the superuser zip I linked?

Are You On stock zv6? If your On stock zv6, you have to use flashtool to go to zv4 so You can use stump. There is no root for zv6 from stock, unless that has changed.

Have you checked to see if twrp recovery is on your phone? If it is flash the SuperSU zip linked a posts before mine. If not check and see if your on ZV6 or ZV4. If your on ZV6 you need to flash tool back to ZV4. If your on ZV4 and it doesn't let you root it's because your phone was already rooted then the person you bought it from unrooted it so you will still have to revert back to ZV4 then use stumproot.
Once your phone has been rooted one time by stump root and then unrooted (probably what happened in your case since you bought it used) you will have to revert back ZV4 using the flashtool and return to stock. Then you can use stumproot and then use bump to put a recovery on your phone. Your phone has to be completely stock in order to use to use stumproot.
Thanks guys. It's because the phone has been updated ZV6. I will look into using the flashtool to get back to ZV4.

So I downloaded VooDoo Root Keeper and backed up my root. Downloaded the OTA update and let it install. Once the phone rebooted I didn't have root, but I went into VooDoo Root Keeper and clicked Restore root. And Root Checker now report I have ROOT once again...
You have to reboot after restoreing root to get apps to work that require root.
And?

Lucky, i installed with nothing to backup root.
Even after installing complete stock, then updating it failed... I don't think this update likes my phone very much.
If I remember reading this correctly you have no problem getting root, it's just that you lose access to custom recoveries.. So therefore kind of pointless to update since you can't run custom roms

From what I read you will lose root with the OTA and not be able to re-root with the current known method. Am I wrong?

I agree the future custom roms will have the parts of the update we want and not the major part we don't. I'll never give up my custom recovery!!
Well I haven't ran any custom roms on this yet... But this is still helpful ad I do run AdAway, Faceniff and WifiKill... which all require Root .

root without recovery is better than no root...
Not to be a party pooper, but why is this in the development section?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda premium
It seems to have worked!
Following this process I was able to keep my root, have not tried using recovery though.
Use OTA RootKeeper to protect root, take OTA update, restore root using RootKeeper, update binaries using SuperSU. Existing apps that use root still work as expected!
Glad it worked for you too.
Has anyone else achieved this? I'm tempted to do it but obviously concerned as I do not want to lose root. I'm sure not every phone is the same.
Also, does anyone know if the OTA will work if you have frozen apps ( including frozen bloatware)?
sorry for the noob question, I got my 1st android device a couple weeks ago and I'm trying to get up to speed quickly.
I see some people saying they want to unroot to take the VRUAME7 update... and I see others saying they took the update which caused them to loose root privileges. So I'm still trying to determine if I need to (or should) unroot to take the update.
I have the stock ROM, so can I just take the update without unrooting first? If the update succeeds, what are the drawbacks of not unrooting prior to the update?
Note: I do plan to unroot first. this question is mostly just for my understanding.
If you unroot prior to the me7 update you will not be able to get it back. If you keep root with voodoo through the ota you lose custom recovery/ability to rom.

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.

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.

Prologue: I myself own a Sprint G3, and I'm rooted and running Bumpd TWRP just fine. I'm running the unofficial Sprint CyanogenMod 12 and all is well.
The Problem: My friend asked me to do the same to his Verizon G3, so I downgraded his G3 to 10b so that I could stump root it using a .kfz I think, I forget the exact file name. Well any who, that went well and then Stump Root worked, but it had to use bruteforce mode (My Sprint Variant didn't require BruteForce) but it worked so I wasn't very concerned. Then I used Flashify to flash the Bumpd TWRP to his G3. That went well too, I rebooted into TWRP immediately after flashing it and while in TWRP I pushed the CyanogenMod 12 .zip and the Lollipop PA GAPPS to his phone. I totally forgot to push su. That was my big mistake. So I flashed CM12 and GAPPS still not knowing that I forgot to root too by flashing su. It booted and the phone runs great on CM 12, but I do need to be able to flash him back to stock and he does need root.
This is where I need help: I've tried Stump Root and Towel root, and I've attempted to push su, but the binaries won't install of course because it isn't rooted. So my friend has a G3 running basically a stock version of CyanogenMod 12 with no root and no custom recovery. Is there any way I can install root and custom recovery without losing CM? I know I can just flash the stock if need be, but I'm curious if there's any way I can fix it without all those drastic measures.
Recovery is gone? What do you see when you try to get into it? Also, you can enable root in developer options or security I think.

This is how the Verizon g3 is. When you boot I to recovery it will always show stock recovery. Scroll down to factory reset and hit yes. Then if it really is bumped it will boot into twrp

You are in the right place. Select factory reset and it will boot into twrp.
Oh thank you, is that a Verizon thing? My Sprint G3 doesn't have that before TWRP.

Yes, when you try to enter recovery using the button combo. Otherwise it goes straight to recovery.
if you download quick boot you don't have to deal with the buttons.
Does anybody know how to root the note 3 sprint with lollipop using the the base band OC5, please help with a step by step guide.
thanks
Update: I made my way to root I combine two methods to do it, thanks to all of you.
Use the latest method by chainfire for kitkat. That's how I did it.
If you dont care about knox, I would just odin latest twrp and flash supersu zip. Super easy.
Sent from my SM-N900P using XDA Free mobile app
Could you elaborate on this latest method of rooting by chainfire?
Use CF Autoroot from chainfire. You can find it here. I used this method and it worked perfectly.
I heard Chainfire method isn't approved by XDA, can a veteran confirm?

What two methods did you combine?
I'm on OC5 and I was thinking of using towelroot. If that doesn't work, I would then try Odin flashing to NH7, then towelroot. I don't want to trip Knox since I have Sprint's insurance. If those methods don't work, then I would consider Chainfire.
If I trip knox, can't I just flash back to stock to reset the counter?
The easiest way to gain root is to flash a recovery, twrp or philz. Then flash a superuser zip file. Then clear cache/dalvik (should really be called runtime cache now)
I'm having an issue regaining root on stock 5.0 (previously rooted). I rooted with CF via Odin but found Supersu conflicted with one of my other apps. I used the labeled option in Supersu to uninstall/clean up to switch to another super user app. I tried ChainsDD's app first but was unable to get the binary to update (even with the update fixer so or odin flashable). I then tried Clockworkmod's app and experienced a similar issue but lost root all together. Since then I've tried: Reflashing cf auto (causes phone to freeze on sprint logo at boot)
Flashing Supersu update.zip 2.46 and beta 2.49 made for 5.x firmwares (same issue as cf)
So far the only way I've been able to get the phone to boot after attempting to root is by odin flashing the OC5 update again. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Instead of using cf, just
odin the oc5
boot
power off
pull battery
odin twrp
boot
power off
Boot to recovery
Flash supersu
Wipe cache/dalvic

Profit!

I'm currently using the latest twrp. I believe it's 2.8.6.1. I tried flashing the Supersu zip and clearing both caches. Same result.

Well I had to use the old root the cf auto root and then install a custom recovery and then flash the super su I had to do the auto root part because the custom recovery it wasn't installed it until I had root access
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.
