I "permrooted" with Visionary + (r12), and it worked for about a day. Then, Titanium, Terminal, etc. no longer had SU privileged, even though Superuser indicated that they did. I tried to "unroot" with Visionary + but it wouldn't work. When I try to root with Visionary, it says I'm already rooted.
Any idea how to resolve this? Thanks.
EDIT: This can be solved by installing Visionary + r13. I'm a new user and can't link, but google "modaco visionary r13"
ALSO, I am unable to downgrade back to the stock version (described in the forums. It won't let me post links), as I apparently lack superuser privileges. Headache.

My phone was eng hboot'd, S-OFF'd and Perm Rooted via Visionary.
Now I want to return the phone to HTC.
But i was advised to do the following which i did:
1) gfree -f to do true S-OFF
2) flash stock rom
3) Do Temp Root via rage method
4) gfree -s ON to do S-ON
But my problem is but I feel I still got Perm Root, because after restarting the phone, Root is still there. The only difference now compare to before is SuperUser prompts me everytime I want to access Root - but if I Temp Rooted and I restarted phone, I shouldn't even be prompted at all??
I want to remove all traces that I modified anything on my phone before returning to HTC
Please advise
If you flashed a totally stock ROM and then did just temp root with rage, it's impossible for you to have perm root (i.e. still can get root after a reboot).
Either you flashed a pre-rooted ROM, or you did more than the temp root with rage and you perm rooted instead.
Either way you can remove the Superuser app and delete the su binary from /system/bin (you will need to be root to do this).
Do u think when I Perm Rooted via Visionary, that just carried over even after i flashed a clean stock ROM?

It shouldn't have done, but I suppose it's not totally impossible ? I don't know how you flashed the ROM, and if it was from hboot, whether that does a wipe or not first.
I have seen a lot of people saying they are losing root access if they update SU Binary. I am to assume everyone who has lost their root access did it via some sort of one-click root app. These will only give temporary root access and will break root at the slightest kick in the teeth.
Anyway, I have updated my SU binary, and I still have my root access, I gained root via [GUIDE] How to Root Sprint 2.1 Release for CDMA Hero and I'm S-off. Hope this helps clear up any issues with SU.

I rooted same as you. When I updated binary and was on aosp 0.1.2, I did loose ability to use su like in terminal.
I was able to flash a different recovery with adb so I think it didn't wipe root but something with GB and the super user app didn't work together with the new binary.
I successfully updated binary in froyo. Were you using GB when you updated, and if so, which version?

I was running aospGBmod 0.1.4, updated, then went into root explorer (worked), TE (worked), and TB (worked). I also deleted the old SU that came with the ROM, D/L'd the one from market, then updated. I'll try it again with 0.1.2 and test it out. Also, are you S-off or S-on?

I am S-on.
I just attempted it again using 0.1.4, but I have the same results. Nothing is able to get root rights.
I should've nandroided before trying that. I know better.

Reboot recovery and go back to your last nand, then reboot into whatever rom you were running. Uninstall SU, reinstall from the market, you should be fine then. But I would make a nandroid just to be safe
I attempted to uninstall and reinstall, but it didn't help.
Now that I have updated to 0.1.5, I can upgrade the binary and everything is working as it should.

I am on 2.3.3 and just updated SU Binary. Haven't noticed a problem yet. All previously installed root apps still work, newly installed root apps work as well.
disregard. I am retarded and didn't read what forum this was in.
My phone's still rooted, I used the same method as you.
I tried to root my phone last night, and managed to get S=off, but when I go into terminal, I am denied of SuperUser privileges. I used VISIONary to temp root and the command lines to perm-root, and I still don't have Super User permissions. Can anyone help?
you need to do the temp root again after getting s=off one more time. Then it will stick.

Did you install the Superuser app?

Fixed no su permission
I had the same problem where I had s-off but no super user permission. Superuser app fixed that for me
Greetings Folks!!!
I am on CM12.1 Lollipop 5.1.1 Nightly, and ROOT access was working fine on my phone so far. When I launched Thunderzap today, I noticed that the app was waiting on "Requesting ROOT Privileges" for over 2 mins, and also the SuperSU app was missing from the app drawer. Thunderzap had been recently updated, and I suspect that might have triggered the root access to be requested again, but it wasn't given root access for some reason, and I never got a prompt to grant it root access. However, my other apps like ROOT Explorer, Shell Terminal Emulator etc, which weren't updated off lately, worked fine with root access. Not sure why now, but I thought reinstalling SuperSU-v2.46 might be a good idea at that time, and I flashed that file. And ever since I have completely lost my root access. When I launch the SuperSU app now, i get an error saying:- "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it"
Some help would be appreciated. Screenshots attached.
I've managed to fix the issue. I just re-flashed the CM-Update file (located in the pone's internal memory), and got some ROOT access prompt while trying to open Thunderzap again. Thereafter, I installed SuperSU from the Playstore and got my binary updated through it. :good:

can you please share the method u used to flash back CM?
i am unable to re root
I already had root on a much older build. I'm on BOK3 (Verizon). Root Check shows I have root, supersu seems to be working, I can drop into su via a terminal, but most my apps that require root aren't getting it. Cleanmaster, Autostart Manager, AppFreezer, Helium (None can use root). I was able to install BusyBox. Supersu shows that all these apps have root permissions granted after I was prompted. I tried setting Supersu to always allow root without prompting but it didn't work. Supersu always says that it has granted access for an interactive shell. I have no idea what to do. My phone sucks without root
Here is what I did to upgrade and keep root. I followed the instructions perfectly and everything seemed to work (But obviously not so well): http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-update-to-g900voe1-5-0-keeproot-t3149784
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
