Hello everyone! I updated my phone to 4.3 and lost root. I have a macbook pro and downloaded the mac toolkit which is supposed to be able to root 4.3. But for some reason it cannot detect my phone when it is in fastboot mode as the toolkit tells me to do.
Any ideas? thanks.
Did you flash a recovery? If that's the case, download the latest SuperSU version from here:
http://download.chainfire.eu/345/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip?retrieve_file=1
And flash it via recovery.

Has anyone been able to regain root and TWRP/CWM after their 4.4.2 (KOT49H) update. I was rooted with TWRP installed and able to talk via ADB and everything before the update, and now I can't get my N7 to even talk to my PC via Wug's toolkit.
Has anyone else seen this?

Rooted with TWRP on 4.4.2.
Is your USB debugging turned on?
I used SuperSU (due to the security glitches that were found) and in there, I turned on the "Survival Mode" before applying the 4.4.2 update. When all was said and done, root was still there as was TWRP.
Also, I use SkipSoft's Unified Toolkit to root and install TWRP on my N7.
Yes, USB debugging is turned on. I can't communicate at all via ADB. I tried un-installing and re-installing drivers multiple times still no luck. I am wanting to use Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit, which is what I used before the update.

I think I might have figured it out...The "universal drivers" must not be so universal or something. I used the PDAnet drivers and I can talk to my pc via ADB now, going to try and root now.

yep got it, was a drivers issue, thanks for your help!
Should have tried the other drivers from the start but the universal drivers just worked well for me in the past, I thought it must be something else.
Hi. Same problem here but I am on Linux Mint, so drivers are not the issue for me (I guess). I will appreciate any ideas how to have TWRP working. Thanks!

Hello, I have similar problem. Installed OTA and lost my root. Now, I flashed UPDATE-SU from recovery, but when I boot, I see no SU icon and it seems I;m not rooted.... Any ideas how to root?

Hi, dalanik...
Yep... had this problem myself recently.
You probably are actually rooted... you just don't have Chainfire's SuperSU app icon.
Try the following...
Download the SuperSU app from Google Playstore... and run it.
It should detect that you are rooted, and if so, it will probably inform you that the su binary needs updating. Allow it (normally, not via TWRP/CWM), and reboot...
Upon reboot, you should now (hopefully) find the SuperSU icon in the app drawer.
Rgrds,
Ged.
Thanx man, that was it...thought I was going mad, flashed it like 4 times....
hello guys,
I had 4.4.1 rom+kernel stock, rooted and custom recovery, after the OTA to 4.4.2 lost my root and recovery.
tried re-root with wug's but it gets stuck on "pushing root file to you device".
got superSU application but cant remove it because its system application.
Is there a way to root it?
thanks.
Same here except i had cwm touch latest. It seems i have lost my recovery too. If i try and boot into the recovery menu i get the open hood android with a red triangle.
No custom kernel only custom recovery.
Sent from my Nexus 7 (2012)
I lost my custom recovery too. But I just reflashed it (adb reboot bootloader, then flashed a downloaded custom recovery via fastboot), and then reflashed SuperSU as well.

I'm having the same problem. Root undone, and recovery went back to stock. Custom recovery doesn't stick after reboot.

I was in the same situation after my OTA of 4.4.2
I had nexus root toolkit, tried to put in twrp with it failed.
Then updated to the latest nrt and then I could flash the latest twrp, havent tried cwm.
and eventually got the root back using nrt

Found the solution to my problem. Used CF Auto Root instead of manually flashing SuperSU again. Cheers guys!

Same thing happened to me. just use fastboot to flash CWM, then before you reboot go into the recovery. then next time you reboot it will still be there. For some reason if I flash the recovery then reboot without entering recovery it will loose the recovery.
Once you have the recovery back, just flash the SuperSU binary through CWM.
Also, IMHO, dont use toolkits... you dont really know whats going on when you use those. Learn to use ADB & fastboot. They are really simple to use and you will be better able to help yourself when you have problems in the future.
Hey guys, I tried looking for the answer to this but couldn't find any info.
I'm currently on rooted, stock 4.4, stock kernel with XPOSED installed. I want to update to 4.4.2 without losing data.
I don't want to re-root using a computer method such as one click install since it does not work on my computer. What are my options?

The other I can see is with custom recovery.
Procedure:
Flash custom recovery like CWM or TWRP if you don't have,
Download OTA 4.4.1, 4.4.2 zip and SuperSU 1.8 zip
Disable Xposed
Boot into recovery
Install 4.4.1 OTA zip then 4.4.2 OTA zip
Install SuperSU zip
Reboot your phone
Enable Xposed

I have rooted my device via kingroot and want to flash TWRP.
For some reason ADB is not working on my Win10 x64 PC. Can I flash it via Flashify? If so please provide me with the file.
I have stock ROM lollipop S051

I dont know about flashify, but Rashr works 100% for flashing recovery.

And here's the twrp for Lollipop

Open Rashr, go to flash revovery, choose twrp recovery image and done
