Hey guys I was trying to boot into the latest CWM image to install superSU in the oficial android 4.3 image, however I got stock in the bootscreen, I tried manually typing the commands as always did and using a toolkit... Maybe is it broken?

This is my game plan as well....Make sure I have the latest TWRP and Super SU before I attempt to re-root.
EDIT: I forgot, I switched from the Super SU app to the superuser app from clockworkmod a while back.
TWRP updated to 2.6.0.0
Superuser already at 1.0.1.8
re-downloaded superuser.zip (unknown version)
Ready for the 4.3 OTA.

Can you upload the SuperSu zip file you used to root?
I have exactly the same problem. Before updating to 4.3 I've booted CWM and did a nand backup.
After updating I can't boot into CWM or TWRP to flash the root zip. I get a blank screen instead of the recovery menu.
I don't want to flash a recovery, just boot like thousands times before to flash the root.zip from chainfire that works.
Same problem : I get a blank screen when booting CWM
I can connect with adb, backlights turns off after some time, and on again if I press a key.
I can boot in the recovery after flashing it !
So booting a flashed recovery from the bootloader works, but booting it with "fastboot boot" don't...

Coming back to the subject of this thread, I was NOT able to boot into TWRP from fastboot using the command:
fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-mako.img
the n4 was starting but I was just getting a black screen.
I had to flash the recovery to my nexus 4 with:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-mako.img
and after that I was able to boot as usual to the recovery and install chainfire modified .zip to gain root in android 4.3
Any other is experiencing this problem with booting into recovery on N4 ?
On my nexus 7 I was able to boot as usual into the recovery, without flashing it
@bagl0312 How I wrote, I have exactly the same problem. I will going to flash twrp, flash root zip and flash back the stock recovery for now.
Never the less fastboot boot recovery.img does not work atm

I was running stock 4.1.1 rooted with NO cwm and I accepted the OTA undate two days ago. Now, I have SU still installed but nothing can obtain root permissions. I used Wugz toolkit to reflash su binaries through TWRP a few times and still no dice. Any thoughts?

Welp, I've never actually used adb to push anything manually myself, but now is as good as time as any to try it. The link to CWM on that page is dead. Where else can I get it?

Every time I reboot into recovery from the bootloader after flashing any recovery (except stock), it fails to boot into recovery. What happens is it shows the Google/Unlocked screen for a couple seconds, goes black (this is where it should enter recovery), but then shows the Google screen again and boots normally. I have tried this with two CWM recoveries and a TWRP recovery, both plugged into a computer and not. when flashing recovery it says OKAY. It seems as if something has gotten corrupted.
Before updating to 4.1.2 everything was working. To get the 4.1.2 update to install, I had to revert back to stock recovery and also revert back to the stock wallet app. Now 'su' is still a command, but it does not do what it is supposed to and no apps have root.

You can just root again and you will have root access.
I lost root too, so I just opened wugtoolkit and hit root. no unlock needed so no loss of programs either.

Any news about this. I stay in the same problem.
Here's my experience:
Stock ROM, rooted, custom kernel.
Got the notification for the 4.1.2 OTA update, so I did a nandroid backup in TWRP. Then I flashed back to the stock recovery and boot.img.
I was thinking that I might lose root, based on other's problems. Looked into installing Root Keeper by Voodoo. In the description it said the same feature is built into SuperSU. Problem was it's built into the paid version, which I didn't have (discovered this after it was too late). Installed 4.1.2 OTA. I lost root. My bootloader was updated to 3.41. I also was not able to flash a recovery. Fastboot flash would not work, Wugs toolkit didn't work. Tried several methods. After reading several threads that have been pretty active for the last few days, here's what finally worked for me. Found it in another thread, which I can't find at the moment.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-3.34.img from the JRO03D factory image
fastboot flash recovery TWRP img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
TWRP recovery started up :laugh:.
flashed SuperSU to re-root, it was sucessful.
updated busybox binaries.
installed OTA rootkeeper, so hopefully this won't happen again.
I'm not really sure I want to try flashing the 3.41 bootloader.
What a pain in the A.
Now it's time to flash faux kernel.

Would that image work ok for Galaxy s3? Or there is no difference at all, just matter the 4.1.2 android version?
Cuz i updated my device throught Kies (cuzz from the device itself it didnt allow, stating that the image has been modifyied :angel: ) and after that even with the persistent mode on Super SU the root is gone
Hello guys, first time posting here, I'm pretty sure it's a silly question, sorry if it is but I couldn't find the answer anywhere. I have an unlocked and rooted device, I installed the last 4.3 update this morning, and usually TWRP let me automatically fix the root just after install the update. But this time it just installed it and booted the tablet, and when I try to enter the recovery mode to fix the root in TWRP, I only see the droid with the exclamation mark.
So the problem is that I don't have root, and I cannot enter TWRP to fix it. TWRP went away with the latest update?. For entering the TWRP I pressed vol+ vol- and power and the pick recovery... is it correct?
Thank you in advance for the great community we have in android and sorry for my english
The same thing happened to me, I resolved it by:
- download a recovery image such as TWRP to a desktop/laptop and then flash it via abd
- now boot into recovery and flash SuperSU 1.51 or higher (1.55)
From what I read you probably did this once before. The 4.3 update overwrote your recovery image and root.

Same for me, Starting have some problems as I tried a "reboot to recovery" apk and got it stuck in the bootloader screen and it wasnt going anywhere.. still had TWRP but reflashing things wasnt working..
Used Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit to bring it back to life..
All good

Nice that it is solved but please do nog use toolkits anymore. I respect the effort and time people take to make them but learning fastboot is just way better. Maybe harder but hard work pays off. Almost everyone will tell the same.
For people who want to use fastboot:
1. Flash custom recovery via fastboot.
2. Boot into recovery.
3. Flash latest supersu.
You can put solved in the title by edeting it.

Good time . I have a similar problem : after a recent update missing root. I tried to flash a custom recovery by fastboot, but the process hangs at downloading recovery.img to nexus. I tried using other drivers and a different version of fastboot, but to no avail.
Ps: by same drivers and fastboot I got the root before.
Hey everyone.
I want to root 4.3 but I dont want to install CWM or TWR or another custom recovery. I want to keep stock recovery so I can directly update from Google when 4.4 is released.
Is there any way I can root without having a custom recovery?
Thanks for the help.

Yes, you can root without flashing a custom recovery. The first step is to obtain root access. The next step of installing a custom recovery (i.e. CWM or TWRP) is to flash ROMs and Kernels. You can just stop at ROOT.
FYI - There are stock and very close to stock ROMs available. Once Android 4.4 is released by Goggle, it does not take long (1-2 days) before people have the 4.4 available for flashing especially for the stock or close to stock ROMs. The more customized ROMs may take a little longer to have Android 4.4 ported into their ROMs.

The command posted "fastboot boot boot.img" would boot your device once into a custom recovery without actually installing the recovery. From there, you can use the one-time booted recovery to install a root zip.
Yes.
I'm unlocked and rooted on the latest 4.3. N10 is so fast I don't feel the need for a custom rom at this present time.
N-Cry tool kit was the easiest I tried.

First you need to download the latest supersu. Then you need to download a custom recovery from here: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.5-manta.img
Place it on your C: drive.
Then go to fastboot and type:
Fastboot boot recovery C:/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.5-manta.img
Then select recovery with the volume buttons and press the power button.
In recovery flash the latest supersu you downloaded.
! Wipe cache and dalvik cache !
Reboot.
You're now rooted and still have the stock recovery.

How can i install twrp in my micromax canvas evok. In the official twrp site my mobile is not in the list. So what can i do? Please tell me.
currently I'm on 2.6.0.0 and I was thinking of the benefits to upgrading to the latest version, plus also the risks involved. Whats the best way to upgrade TWRP ?
Use goomanager. It's by far the easiest since it's mostly automated.

I just downloaded the latest version of TWRP, booted into the bootloader and loaded the image by
Code:
fastboot flash recovery {insert name of image file here}
. Easy peasy,,,
oops, it's a bit late. I found the goomanager and installed it, trouble is I installed the OTA update which has set my device unrooted. There is no TWRP any more, not sure how to get into recovery mode as a dead android with a red triangle appears. I'm unlocked, but just cant get into recovery.
I took a full TWRP backup before I started, any tips ?

Just use ADB to Fastboot flash recovery. Either Fastboot flash your root file or copy it to your device. If you copy it to your device, then boot to recovery and flash your Superuser or SuperSU .zip. You don't want to restore your backup though if your on the latest OTA now and your backup is the previous OTA.

Wug works well.. Simple too.

theres TWRP flashable zips in the TWRP thread, this is the easiest if you alrady got TWRP
you can use wug to install it for the first time then use goomanager to update it later or TWRP manager to dl manually.
As the subject mentioned, It gets auto-unrooted. So, every nightly update, I always do CF-Auto-Root to root it again.
The problem is my TWRP recovery gets wiped, and I still have to install new TWRP recovery again.
Is there any other easier rooting method which doesnt erase my TWRP recovery other than CFroot method?

OK, that's REALLY strange... TWRP shouldn't be getting clobbered unless the way you're installing it is causing weird issues.
Have you tried flashing TWRP using heimdall/odin/JOdin? It sounds like you're using some sort of root app to flash it on-device???
As to losing root - SuperSU->Settings->Install backup script is the workaround until we integrate SuperSU into omni.

Possibly, goomanager might be doing something weird like doing a fakeflash. I'm not sure.
If you install a TWRP image using heimdall or odin it should persist - the dd method listed in http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/124 should work too. (i337 is the AT&T/Rogers Note2, right?)
Omni shouldn't be flashing recovery on this device (Omni only changes recovery on devices that can't change kernel without changing recovery - like the I9100/I777/N7000 and many Sonys), but even if it is, it should be flashing a TWRP build...

I've seen / had the issue to with GooManager. Indeed it is doing a "fakeflash", if you go into recovery from GooManager you will get into the recovery but after that. If you do it on boot you won't get there. No matter what, unless you do a manual install for the recovery..
Hope this helped,

It is not only the issue on OmniROM but on (almost) every ROM, I've had the same on cyanogen and Samsung Stock.. So flashing it yourself is better.. Hope this bug will get fixed somewhere in the future.

It's because Omni doesn't have root yet. It's on the to do list. The easiest way is to install SuperSU to system, then install the back up script. That way you'll keep root through updates.

I know very little about anything, and I was experiencing this same thing. CF-Auto-Root reinstalls stock recovery which overwrites TWRP during the rooting process. Each time I update a nightly and then run CF-Auto-Root to re-root it. After that I use mobile ODIN to reinstall TWRP recovery and all is good.

You shouldn't be using CF-Auto-Root if you have a custom recovery (which you need in order to install Omni). Just flash SuperSU in recovery.
I knew something wasn't quite right but I did it that way because it works. I have downloaded su onto the SD card, as well as the latest nightly build of Omni. Can I install the new nightly with TWRP, and add su as a second zip to install at the same time? Or should I flash them separately?
