[Q] Franco kernel disabled root.. - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys, thanks for all the info you post however I have an issue with the newest Franco kernel. I installed the latest release and after reboot my root access is gone. I tried reinstalling Super SU, but even when doing it through TWRP it doesn’t install. The kernel is R75 the latest available through the Franco App. This is my first time using a kernel, is this normal? What do I need to do to get rooted again?
Thanks for everyone's contributions on the forum, you have helped me tremendously in the past just from reading posts and thanks for any help with this issue.

The only thing lately I notice lately is flashing some 4.3 roms you loose root. Easy to get back just use the below tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475

I also had the same problem when i flashed franco kernel #75 over PA #3.91 and it broke the root.
I also searched for superuser patch but could not find any updates.

So is there currently no fix for this then? I think I'd rather go with Stock Kernel than lose all of my root exclusive apps.
BTW I don't think I mentioned it before, I am using a Nexus 7 (orig).
Edit:
I just found this
Just auto-flash the r75-nightly with FKU on my stock-4.3 nexus 7 16GB.
After re-boot, the supersu poped up a notification that "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!".
This issue is solved after I re-flash the current latest UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip with CWM.

If i read correctly, something in the latest CM 10.2 ramdisk released recently broke root. The next update to all of the kernels will see it fixed.

if you use the SuperSU link I provided you can re-root with the latest franco kernel running.

SuperSu worked!!!

lose root after installing FKR75 with FK updater
I tried flashing the latest super su 1.65 zip but TWRP said it couldn't open the zip file. I had to reflash the stock ROM to get back root.
I have followed this thread but found no answer.

Is your tablet encrypted? The same happened to me on my encrypted N4 and the only option was to go back to stock kernel.

official stock rooted 4.4 yet?

hi guys,
i just did a search in the development and original development threads for 'stock rooted 4.4' and came up with nothing.
Is there one created yet and also one that is cwm flashable?
thanks guys
There is already a working root for 4.4. I actually rooted my device immediately after I upgraded to kitkat yesterday. Though I lost the link here in xda, just search for it.
thanks mate.
the reason i was looking for a simple flashable stock rooted rom is i am very good with knowing about the bootloader or what exact 4.3 i used last time and i didnt know if it mattered.
there is an official stock rooted version on the nexus 7 2013 forum i noticed yesterday but i couldnt see one here.
also, i am running cwm recovery and i think the nexus root toolkit uses twrp doesnt it?
anyway, thanks for the help and hopefully a flashable soultion will be available soon.

If you already have CWM installed, then you can flash supersu. I don't know where it is in this forum, but just try searching.

Thanks but I already have supersu, I don't understand what that has to do with the rom im looking for apart from the root element that I already understand about.
I downloaded the flashable zip from here - roll back to 4.2.2 stock first using CWM and kept my data, about 90 minutes including wait time - running KitKat now, rooted (again) on KitKat 4.4 stock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47522094#post47522094 - see my post for steps that I followed. Results vary & do so at your own risks.
I'm sure in a few more days - XDA developers will tweak & come up with optimized odexed stock rom with add-ons, but I'm half a step ahead for my own sneak preview - less than 1 hour into it, smooth & no FC or errors - figure I might as well do it over the weekend - the new baby Nexus 5 running stock 4.4 & rooted already, of course.

Root after manual update?

So I finally found some time for my unlocked and rooted nexus 4. Right now it is on 4.3 stock and I want to update to 4.4.2. Now the question which I couldn't find an answer on Google: Do I loose root after manual update? I've seen some videos on that, but some say that you need stock recovery (I have TWRP), but nothing about root.
Also, I'd install Franco kernel after that.
Help and possible tutorial would be appreciated, I'm still kinda new to android.
You can have a stock experience by installing the Experience ROM in the development thread.
Make sure you are running the latest TWRP before trying to flash a 4.4 ROM.

Yes, always when you flash another stock Rom, you will lose root.
But it's a matter of seconds to reroot after flashing latest supersu.zip through TWRP.

I know tot root the device again with Wugfresh ROOT Toolkit, only I'm now on vacation, for 5 weeks, and I didn't braw my Laptop.

you have to flash SuperSU in recovery. I bet you are using SuperSU already. if you were, open the play store, and install SuperSU. open it after installing, if it tells you that you need to update your su binaries, do it. if not, flash via recovery. and its not the ROMs fault, I bet you lost root because your su binaries need updating, that you haven't updated them in a while.
Sorry for late reply.
You helped me amazing, thankyou very much.
I flashed that SuperSu file in TWRP recovery and now I have root back.
Thanks again my friend.
PS: What kernel is good for battery?

despite what you hear, there's no such thing. battery life is dependant on how you personally use your phone, how you set it up, what apps you use, and the quality of your phone/data signal.
but I personally use trinity kernel.
the most popular ones are hellscore and ak but are many that are also great
try them

Systemless SuperSU Causing Random Reboots

I just updated to MM and I'm so lost in the mess we have to go through to root. It seems the only method of using SuperSU is systemless. If there's a method that does involve /system I much prefer that. I've been getting random reboots on my device that occur with no pattern. And sometimes some root functions will work while other times they completely fail without notice. Is there an alternative stable method of root or at least a solution to the problems occurring? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
BUMP! These reboots are killing me

Which version of SuperSU did you use? As far as I know you cannot just flash SuperSU in TWRP for MM. I would go here and read up first if you want systemless root... http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/wip-systemless-root-t3263405 but if you just want a rooted device then go to the many threads that have pre-rooted twrp backups or just flash a rooted rom in twrp. Hope this helps you.

Hmm I've gone over that thread a few times and I'm still having issues. I've been looking for one with no luck, could you send me a link to twrp backup of pre-rooted MM for the US version?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...rom-stock-rooted-debloated-x1575-6-0-t3262242 It's on the OP. But it's just rooted and NOT the systemless root you are looking for but it may give you a head start...

As an alternative to the link posted above, here is a link to vx2ko's stock MM with traditional root. The ROM is amazing. Been using it for about a week and I highly recommend it. If you're coming from systemless root you most definitely need to clean flash/factory reset before flashing the ROM.

Help - I upgraded but I get errors

I updated today from COS 12.1 -YOGPAS1N0 using TWRP to cm-13.0-ZNH0EAS2JK-bacon-signed-fastboot-2d1a3b8dca.zip.
Now I keep on getting error message stating that I do not have SIM and the phone is acting sluggish.
What do I need to do to fix this please?
I am rooted and running TWRP 3.0.2
Thanks in advance.
I'm guessing it's because of the version of TWRP you used. Try going back to 2.6, or the modified version of 2.7 floating around. Other versions don't flash the modem correctly.

Thanks for the reply. I did a deep clean and installed it again using TWRP 2.8 but for some reason I lost my root. It kept TWRP though. Any idea to get back the root?

Why don't you try flashing a rooted rom to get root? I know there are other ways to attain root, but this would be the easiest, imo, given you have root.

Just flash latest supersu and you're done. Root will always be lost by doing a clean flash

Thank you, I got it fixed by flashing superSU 2.65.
The problem I had was I was flashing the Beta 2.74. By flashing the 2.65 it rooted my phone back.
