Rootchecker - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I do not have proper root access from root checker but I am running a custom ROM. Does anyone have a clue why this is happening? I unlocked and rooted using wugs nexus root toolkit a while back

Have you granted root checker permissions with superuser or supersu? If you have superuser you should be rooted.

My reccomendation, the same happened for me after flashing SmoothROM, remove SuperSU completely, it has problems. It doesn't remove your root access, it sort of blocks it. SuperSU has some problems, so remove it, boot back up, install SuperUser instead, then, you should be good to go.

[Q] Problem with my Rooted Nexus 4 and SuperSU

I got a Google Nexus 4 about a month ago. Somebody told me I should root my phone so I installed the Nexus toolkit and did all of that. I proceeded to install a buncha stuff on it like Call Master, Titanium backup, etc.
But then I kept getting notifications saying there was an update to Android 4.2.2 so I updated it thinking maybe it wouldn't cause a problem. But now none of my programs work, and when I open up SuperSU it says:
"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
how can I fix this?

Do you have a custom recovery? You'll have to flash the SuperSU zip again so it can install the binaries.

What's a custom recovery exactly? I'm a complete noob to this stuff.
And how do I flash the SuperSU zip again?
Just download the toolkit from WuFresh and in it they have an for Nexus 4 on 4.2.2 proceed to root again since your bootloader should be already unlocked (when the phone boots you see under Google a lock that has been unlocked) once it's rooted again, you'll be clear, I would suggest making a fresh Nandroid after you rooted having the new OTA.

i might try this.
So basically I gotta re-root my phone again? If I do that am I gonna lose everything?
No only unlocking the bootloader will erase your data

Get OTA Root Keeper from the Play Store and back up. Then whenever there is an OTA update, you just restore the back up and you will have root again.

Lost root on custom rom load

My Razr M was rooted and I was able to load Safestrap so I could flash a custom ROM. All went well until I went to Titanium with Root and it complained about me not being rooted. I cant open Superuser, I aslo ran the ROOT CHECKER app and It said I wasnt rooted. Now am I stick with this rom? I tried to re-root but I cant get the bug report / vibration to happen. Any ideas>?
By can't open superuser do you mean it fcs? If so try wiping data on the superuser app.

[Q] Unrooted phone fails to reroot but want to reset flash counter to return phone

So I rooted my phone and installed CM rom which was unstable for my model and it failed for some reason and stopped working so I installed the stock firmware through Odin. Superuser app was left but root was gone so I rooted it again to get the root, now superuser disappeared and the phone was still unrooted. I repeated the root process but nothing happens and I tried rooting with motochopper as well but nothing happens. I just need to find a way to reset the flash counter so that I can return the phone.
Try installing Koush's Superuser app from Play Store.
It's obvious that you have to download superuser or supersu from play store.

Obvious? How does superuser help on an unrooted phone? I checked with root checker basic to see if I rooted my phone and it didn't. I passed on ODIN but it´s still not rooted..
Indulge us and install a superuser app, then check with root checker.

Help with root!

HELP!!! i posted earlier about my rooting problem, still same thing.. when root is accessed it say you have been granted superuser permission for an interactive shell but that process doesnt work.. in my PA the superuser section it doesnt have the superus on it, it says currently no superuser app policies.. me and my friend virtually have the same software on our nexus 4, except only difference is that in his SU on PA has one policy and thats allowing the SU app to work or idk but ill show you the difference.. im thinking i might have to reflash my rom ?
PA already has SuperUser by Koush so I would recommend uninstalling SuperSU or you are going to have root issues.
What is meant by SuperUser app policies is root applications so it is saying that there is no root applications which has requested yet so there is nothing wrong with root.

Okk well i went through the SU app to completely unistall the root but then i had no root.. and the PA root wasnt popping up, so i reflashed the one i had previous, do you think ill have to reflash PA if i uninstall again and still doesnt work? and before i reboot my phone i got to recovery and as i reboot it prompts to intsall root before i reboot so i did it and there was an error when i rebooted
Yep just reflash. Turn off phone, go into the boot loader and go to recovery through there.

I have trouble with root and SuperSU on 4.4.2

I'm having trouble with SuperSU on 4.4.2 on Nexus 4.
So at 4.3 I unrooted first, then OTA'ed to 4.4 and now 4.4.2.
Yesterday I used cf-auto to root my phone, but there was no SuperSU. Then I downloaded one from Google Play. But it keeps saying "unfortunately SuperSU has stopped" when there is a need to use SuperSU, i.g. when there is a root explorer app running. I doubt whether the root was successful so I downloaded a root checker, but it kept saying "please wait". So I even don't know whether my phone is rooted.
Please help.
Do you have a custom recovery? Download the zip in the op and flash in recovery.

no i have the original recovery.
I tried Reinstallation in SuperSU and used root checker, which said my device has root access. But after I installed SuperSU again, it keeps crashing again. (keeps saying SUperUS has stopped.)
If you haven't gotten this squared away, I would recommend using Wug's toolkit to return to stock unrooted and then using the toolkit to reroot.

Just encountered this kind of problem on Purity. Flashed latest build (4.4.2), and then I didn't have root acces anymore. Then I tried rooting with Wug's toolkit (CWM as recovery and SuperSU as root), and unfortunately superSU didn't appear at all in the apps. I tried installing it from the recovery, no luck.
Then I tried it with SuperUser. it worked. I didn't ask any questions
