Hello,
These past two days have not been a good day for my phone lol. Some background:
BEFORE:
I had a 4.4.4 Custom ROM [Forgot the name...]
TWRP: 2.5.0.2
AFTER:
I clean flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m-cyanogenmod-12-0-nightlies-verizon-t2998057
I cleared cache + Dalvik after the flash and it asked me if I wanted to fix root (From what I read before, you're never supposed to press Fix, rather you're supposed to prses Do not Fix and you'll still keep your root.
However, I accidentally pressed Fix Root and Now I lost my root. The ROM I flashed is glitchy because from what I read is because I have TWRP 2.5.0.2.
Now I'm stuck on this ROM, I have no idea how to upgrade to the latest TWRP and don't know how to get my root back . [Can't get TWRP Manager because I don't have Google apps (I tried flashing the GAPPS by Paranoid but it keeps crashing because I think it's the outdated TWRP)]. I tried to download TWRP manager on my phone via another site, but it doesn't install on my phone for some weird reason.
Thank you,
Jerry
Download, install and run the towelroot.apk file. This will root your phone, takes about 2 minutes

Hey, guys. This is my first post. I am now on my second SGS 4 verizon replacement and today I tried to root it, get twrp, and then CM. I rooted it with odin by using the method where you drop the files onto your phone, reboot, delete the files, and finally reboot. I got root. But when I started up goomanager, the twrp download didn't start so I downloaded ClockworkMod. I rebooted into recovery after installing the Gapps and CM but decided that ClockworkMod was too intimidating so I rebooted. Then, I went into rom toolbox, and flashed twrp 2.5.x.x. After that, I tried to reboot into recovery but what happened was it went into download mode right after the blue letters say rebooting into recovery. Now, I am freaking out because I am rooted but can't get twrp so I can't get CM and touchwiz is awful. Please, any help is much appreciated. I am lost and inexperience! Should I go to VZ and have them reset my phone and start from scratch?

There's no custom recovery for the new updates, hasn't been for awhile, won't be any time in the immediate future or ever.

So I'm having a bit of an issue flashing a recovery on my NH7 4.4.4 HLTESPR Note 3. I've had it rooted/ROM'd for a few months now without any issues. I used my upgrade to buy an LG G3 for $1 and gave it to someone else, and when they did this, they had to deactivate my Note and activate the G3 for the upgrade to apply. After that, they reactivated my Note 3. I was getting data connection at Best Buy immediately after, but later that night I noticed I had completely lost data connectivity so I went into TWRP, made a backup, and reflashed to a stock/rooted recovery I had made prior so that I could access the profile and PRL updates.
I applied the updates and reestablished data connection. Then I tried to boot into recovery from TWRP to revert to my ROM. No go. I try it with the button method - no go. Then I went to Root Checker and it told me my device no longer had root access. Super User still installed but root was gone. So then I ran it through CF-auto-root again, and tried to flash TWRP from the TWRP manager a few times but it crashed each time. Then I tried to use Flashify to flash TWRP from my SD card. Seemed to work, so I used TWRP manager to reboot into recovery and it went into a boot loop. Odin'd back to NH7 and retried the whole process. Now even when I flash TWRP from odin, I go into TWRP Manager and it doesn't detect a recovery. I've tried a few different versions of TWRP and used Odin, TWRP manager, and Flashify to try and flash a recovery but it just doesn't seem to work. I have no idea what's going on. I've been doing basic rooting/ROM flashing for a few years now, and I'm pretty comfortable with Samsung devices but this is unlike anything I've encountered. Anything will help! Thanks

Have you tried a full revertin? Stock everything including recovery and starting over with the root process?
Have you figured it out if not i can help pm me .
Dear All,
Sorry if am re-posting the same, and as am new here and need an urgent help, started this thread.
1. My Samsung Galaxy SIII International (I9300) was rooted and I had CM11 stable/snapshot version there since last 2-3 weeks.
2. Yesterday, I tried upgrading the latest CM13 nightly for my device.
3. While doing so, and rebooting, it asked me the normal message "root possibly lost, fix, yes or no". I accidentally pressed no.
4. Then I noticed after CM13 was flashed, that I do not have root access anymore. Please note that at this point in time, I was not aware that it has to be explicitly enabled in developer options.
5. I came to know that I lost root when I tried to boot in to recovery (CWM) to install gapps.
6. Now, under the impression that I do not have root anymore, I tried to root again with Odin as I had been doing all these days.
- By doing that, ODIN removed my custom recovery (CWM) and flashed it with stock recovery.
- Though ODIN said PASS after reboot, I still do not have root access.
7. Removed cache, wipe data, and factory reset, multiple times but no help.
8. Enabled root for both apps and adb in Developer options, but no use.
9. I also tried KINGO root ( a very popular tool for SGS3 these days) but in vain.
10. Now, am stuck with CM13 and stock recovery and unable to do anything with ROM manager or anything else as I do not have root anymore.
11. Am able to install few apks for whatsapp and facebook for now and living with it, but it wouldn't let me install playstore apk too anymore.
Highly appreciate any quick feedback.
Many Thanks,
BR,
Shiva
I belive you need to flash the stock 4.3 jellybean rom with odin, and root it afterwards.

TWRP 3.0.0..???????????
First of all.. Update TWRP to 3.0.2, you are NOT supposed to see the message that tells you that root is gone, as (official) CM13 includes root from now on.
For root, inside Android go to Settings > Developer Options > Root > Only apps.
Do it via Odin as only 3.0.2 is available in a .tar file (latest version), should not be hard.
Not only that, but upgrading from CM11 to CM13 is not recommended, as it causes multiple compatibility issues with installed apps (afaik).
You are better off with wiping it all and install CM13 Clean, and if you decide to; you must also flash Gapps (optional) directly after CM13 (no reboot).

SGS3 I9300: Root and Custom Recovery lost after CM13 - SOLVED
Dear All,
Thank you for your valuable advice and suggestions. I used ODIN to flash back to stock ROM and now everything works as it is like out of the box. I will root again perhaps in a few days and the flash the stable release of CyanogenMod. Will keep you posted. I wish the Android M snapshot is released by then.
Thanks again,
Cheers,
Shiva
So I rooted my tablet today in the morning, and has been discovering new stuff with root all the day it's night now. And I tried custom root (crdroid),
And it was pain in the ass. 1- wiped everything using the advanced tool (data,cache 1, cache 2, system) and used the
(Tabs3_oreo_forced+encryption_disabler).zip flashed it then flashed SuperSU, booted into it, explored for 2 hours noticed no SuperSU, wanted to go back to download mode but serial image shoed on screen and in the middle was: {Press home key to go into download mode} did that then got to twrp and wanted to install supersu but couldn't mount data, tried million combination of magisk the disabler and supersu but it's either: run vanilla crdroid, (without google service and stuff and couldn't download thanks to the loop) get data unmounted, get stuck on the screen saying: (tab s3 by Samsung blah blah) so I'm hoping to get back to the original firmware, which I'm downloading it now (region: iraq) but after I get back to original I'm gonna root it (because it worked flawlessly then, I can do that) but any help on how to install main firmware, should I just twrp the install ? Or can you guys give another way ?

Hi thanks for the reply it has been a really long loooooong time since i checked xda on my account, and I'm happy to say I'm now a master in custom roms and rooting, currently trying to port s-pen functions, and fix the damn camera problem with custom roms on this particular device. Thanks again.
Hi everyone, for quite some time I never had any issues upgrading mu phone MIUI, but recently the update process keeps failing, with Recovery Project 3.0.2-x complaining that the image zip (miui_MI5SPlusGlobal_9.6.27) is corrupted.
I started looking a bit more into it and it turns out my phone doesn't show as correctly rooted, so I was getting ready for doing a full root procedure, I backed everything up, get back to some tutorials and it seems like I should use TWRP and SuperSU.
It seems like SuperSU has been discontinued, so now I am kinda hanging, not being sure at all what I should do :S I would ideally want to upgrade to the latest MIUI
Any tip?
First Flash latest recovery.
https://dl.twrp.me/natrium/twrp-3.3.1-0-natrium.img
Download this latest Miui rom
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...5SPlus_V11.0.2.0.OBGCNXM_v11-8.0.zip/download
Do the wipes and install it.
For root you should flash magisk.
