I have a Samsung galaxy s4 mini(gt-i9195) running on cm11 .
Recently I backed up my phone using clockworkmod recovery after the backup I lost my root access. Root was completely gone. I used root checker it said I had no root. Is it possible for me to get root access back and how?
Is it possible to use cwmr to re-root?
I'm new to xda forums so forgive me if this is in the wrong section

No it won't brick your phone, that's the simplest way of rooting if you have a custom recovery

clockworkmodace is compatible with upd_1.zip?
I rooted my device with this method (upd_1.zip) but now i don't know if this will be compatible :s
What aren you trying to achieve here?
If you want to install ClockworkMod 4, then just do it; no difference if the phone isn rooted or not (AFAIK).

Rooting has nothing to do with anything. Its something else apart from CMW. There's no such thing as a type of root. Once your phone is rooted, its rooted.
No, that zip will root only when you flash with stock recovery.
However flashing a custom rom with root built in after using clockworkmod will get you root.
Flashing cf-root too will get you root.
in my experience, flashing upd_1.zip on either ClockworkMod 4 or 5 is OK.
but ....
flashing SU-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip on ClockworkMod 4 failed, but it is success on ClockworkMod 5.

Simple answer: YES! Don't worry!
Okay, i'll try it today
This is my first post here and i'll admit i'm a noob so forgive my ignorance
i am having a problem with my rooted galaxy S2 I9100 i have root and it's been working fine for a long time on lightening rom but now titanium backup says i don't have root and no longer works.
Superuser is up to the latest version but also clockwork mod recovery is saying my kernel is unknown and will no longer boot into recovery. Have i lost root somehow?
Superuser says i have root but titanium and CWM say otherwise.
Any advice on how to solve this would be great thanks

Follow instructions to root your phone.
I can't recall where I saw on these forums but....
The Xperia Ultra rom exploits all seem to use vroot. However vroot had been found ti be sending IMEI numbers back to China. Nice
But given that hamdogg. Et.Al have used vroot in ROMS they have released, who feels worried?
Is there another root exploit you are using?
vroot is not working any more.

You are safe with a custom ROM. They don't use any tool... don't need to.
- With a rooted ROM, it flashes the superuser or superSU app, and applies the appropriate binaries and permissions directly to the ROM system.
But... to get a recovery flashed onto your system, you'll need to use vROOT or a similar tool, as it will need root access to apply the recovery script, and flash recovery. So.. you must have already used such a tool to originally root your device...
Two Important Points here:
- The app/s only "MAY" have your IMEI numbers stored. I say may, because all we currently know is that the IMEI numbers were read, we don't know for sure if they have been stored anywhere.
- If the app/s continues to send information [we currently don't know this yet] then it would be better to have a custom ROM. As it will clear your device of all app data and have ROOT access. This is only if you want to have a rooted device.
Hope that clears things.

You don't need root access to flash a custom recovery. You can just flash from fastboot. You can use the original recovery found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426736
You need an unlocked bootloader though. Also you need to remember to flash your normal kernel back afterwards, although that will be done automatically if you flash a custom rom from recovery,

No, but you do need to be rooted to backup your TA Partition.
Thats the trade off. If you unlock without first having root you can't restore TA and the DRM at a later date.
I rooted with Vroot and backed up mine, but I would have unlocked the bootloader regardless if I had too. Not missed any off the DRM tools at all.
So the story goes, I rooted my phone using Framaroot 1.8.1 and yes it was rooted successfully. Recently I updated my phone to version A706ROW_1_S_2_001_0018_130705, and because of this my phone became unrooted but still had superuser installed. I would like to re-root my phone using Framaroot again but it cannot be rooted due to superuser. I had no luck in other threads as I am new to the android world that even simple terms, I couldn't comprehend. I would like to ask a clear and brief guide/ explanation to how my unrooted phone with superuser's presence be removed completely. Thank you in advance, Please.

Thanks to everyone who replied,I just rooted my phone again by flashing CWM. lol im so dumb >.<
I really like the way my OneMax w/verizon is and am not really interested in updating. The automatic firmware downloads is eating up my data daily. I just accepted to install it so it would stop, but it won't install due to error (it's a rooted device). I have S-Off on the phone right now and used the SuperSu unroot feature to try and let the update do it's thing just so it would stop downloading. Now, the root checker apps say I'm not rooted (but i think i still am). I tried the virtuous manual stock update but it gives me a installation aborted message while in recovery mode. Any help would be appreciated!
I think you need to have stock recovery & stock rom installed to accept the ota.

Yes, if you want the update you will.

you only need to have stock recovery installed AND 100% stock system files. no system mods whatsoever.
assuming you enabled USB debugging under the developer options on the phone....you may need to update your version of adb/fastboot.
The root question....are you s off? If so that question is irrelevant as you only need to flash a custom recovery and flash the latest su zip from there to root any ROM...even the stock ota.

Yeah I have S-off on the phone. I will update the ADB version and retry. I don't know why I thought the su would be able to do a one-click unroot. All it ended up doing was just confusing me. I'm new to rooting and flashing, and it's fun figuring these things out. You guys are really helpful around here. I'll look for a tutorial on how to flash a custom recovery.
