I managed to root and install CWM without using a computer, here's how I did it... I was on gingerbread 2.3.6 so I installed Framaroot v1.5.2 to get root as Mobile ODIN needs root and won't work without it. link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276 then I installed Mobile ODIN (free in market) and the Mobile ODIN flash kernal here http://bit.ly/17kEetk next I download CF-Root here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 unzipped CF-Root and placed it in Mobile ODIN, when you open mobile ODIN it'll say you need to download extra data, but it's only if you're flashing firmware, you don't need to download the extra data just for flashing kernels so ignore it... flash it and Mobile ODIN will install CF-Root then it'll auto reboot... once rebooted, go into recovery mod and you should now have CWM as well as Root access.
Really cool !
I just uninstalled Feacore CWM and updated CWM to its latest version using the Recovery zip ... but I already had CWM installed.
It's good to know that we can do this for the first time, without the use of a computer.
Thank you !

hello sir if u dont mind I need a little bit of help. I am just a beganer I tried to root my phone without using pc through "z for root"app. But the process didnt compleate and app crashed & my fone got freezed(highly sluggish). Then I tried to factory reset, but I was unable to do so . After multiple attempts I succeded through recovery mode. After that I cheked my fone through titanium backup, it told that it doesnt have root access. So I searched xda and installed the app framaroot,and did the temporary root and installed super user through the same app. But after all that when I opened titanium backup. It was was unable to proceed further. Just showing "gaining root access" . So I thought something went wrong in my procees. so I decided to uninstall that superuser app, but there is nowhere option to uninstall that app. And now sometimes my fone gets sluggish & when I check program moniter . That superuser app is on. SO I WANT TO UNINSTALL SUPERUSER APP AND BRING MY PHONE TO ORIGINAL CONDITION(UNROOT/VALID WARANTY). THANKING U VERY MUCH SIR. EAGERLY WAITING FOR UR RESPONCE

A few things first
-Z4Root is outdated and only worked on 2.1
-Temporary root only gies you root access for a certain period of time and as the name suggests it is not a full root solution. This also means that even if you install Superuser it probably won't work properly. Framaroot should alow you to fully root (Aragorn exploit I think?)
To restore the phone to its complete original state just flash a stock rom over what you already have and it should get rid of Superuser
I have a Sprint L720 GS4 that was originally rooted and running CM 10.1 off of the official nightlies. I flashed the new CM 10.2 build for jfltespr posted here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383143
Aside from a few apps acting weird because of the new way Android 4.3 handles notifications, everything runs pretty smooth. Biggest issue is that I lost root after upgrading. (Focal is bada**, in case anyone was wondering lol. I love having Photosphere on a non-nexus device)
The research I have done trying to solve this says all I should need to do is flash Chainfire's newest SuperSU app (v1.43 at the time of this post) and bingo, you will have root access again because version 1.43 gets around whatever issue Android 4.3 has with root. I have flashed this via CWM recovery and get the error "There is no custom binary installed and SuperSU can't install it, this is a problem. If you just upgraded to 4.3 you must manually re-root." when opening the SuperSU app after the phone reboots, and no root apps like Root Explorer or Adaway work anymore.
I have wiped data, cache, davlik, fixed permissions, re-flashed the CM 10.2 ROM and the 4.3 Gapps, then the re-flashed SuperSU app, fixed permissions again, and still nothing, tried several variations of the above process for several hours. As per procedure from Chainfire's G+ posts on how to do this, I did select 'No' when asked if I wanted to disable stock recovery flash as CWM is rebooting the phone. What am I missing?
BTW, I have no access to computer/laptop ATM, so if there is a way to do this without having to use ODIN or some other rooting tool, that would be great.

So did that, went to superuser in the settings app, made sure apps had access, made sure prompt was on, everything else looked OK, rebooted. Still getting the 'No custom binary installed' thing with SuperSu and have no root access. Any other ideas?

Couldn't get the supersu app to uninstall so I did a data wipe to get rid of it, re flashed ROM and gapps, went into superuser settings and set them as above. Still no root access via root checker, other root apps also don't work. Any other ideas?
Same issue on Pac-rom 4.3.
Anyone have any more thoughs on this? I know there's a huge movement that thinks Root isn't really needed anymore, but I do it for Adaway and being able to move files I download from internal to SD Card (which file explorers won't do without root for some reason), not to mention having CM on my phone. Lol, I almost can't wrap my head around the fact that I have a custom ROM and a custom recovery but no Root access.

ES File Explorer will accomplish this file moving without root.
Are you using Odin?
No computer... Answers that.
Do you have goo manager?
If no DOWNLOAD IT.
You may have to flash the recovery file (again. You have to do it two different ways to achieve root) through goo manager.
Goo> Menu> Install Custom Recovery it will ask you if you have custom installed. Select yes and it will freeze up for about 10 seconds and USUALLY reboot into recovery and voila, full and proper root achieved.
Source: I dealt with this for almost 2 days and accidentally figured it out. None of my super apps would work. SuperSU, SuperSU Elite, Superuser, nada.

Thanks for the suggestion. Downloaded GooManager. The path you specified doesn't exist. It is GooManager>Menu>settings>install OpenRecovreyScript. I tried that path anyway in case you had just accidentially misphrased it. It downloaded a TWRP file, and then did nothing else, didn't reboot. I tried rebooting to recovery directly through the main menu in GooManager, but it gives an error because I don't have root access. I have to manually reboot to recovery. Thankfully (I prefer CWM to TWRP) it didn't install TWRP. I still have CWM and nothing else has changed, still no root access.
Using a file manager when trying to move something from the downloads folder on my internal memory to the SD Card, it says operation failed every time, and in GooManager, I cannot access my SD Card files, only internal memory. I tried to re-flash the ROM via GooManager in case that would get results, but the /extsdcard is not listed and I cannot access the root folder to get to it.
I will try just about any suggestion that anyone throws up here because I am at the end of my rope with this, but doing anything via the settings or through an app is likely not going to work because you have to have root access for these things to function to start with in most cases. I had a similar issue when I first rooted my S4. I carelessly accepted the OTA update on initial activation without thinking about it, then when I went to root it I found out that update added a SETUID RESTRICTION to the kernal, essentially changing how Superuser apps interact with the kernal. I had to track down the original kernal and flash that to remove the SETUID RESTRICTION so SuperUser would work. I have a feeling the solution to this will be along those lines, but in hours of researching the only thing I can find to do is 'Flash SuperSU, it will re-root your phone'.
Is there anyone else that has had this issue with the unofficial nightlies of CM 10.2 linked in the OP where the Chainfire SuperSU workaround for re-rooting doesn't work?
I'm not entirely sure what I did, but my Super SU is working properly now.
Last thing I did was flash a version of Super SU I knew worked pre-4.3 (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s...UHFu_xV9MFXYEd9A8ZltJ8l6RjX2l2QtUcGFlWWA&dl=1). I opened it and it gave me the regular error, so I gave up and decided I'd wait a few days. However, I just checked this thread to see if any other solutions were available, and someone mentioned GooManager, so I opened it and it asked for SU permission, and it was granted. I then opened Super SU and noticed it works properly now.
Sorry if this doesn't help.

So I continued to play with this, and I FINALLY got it to work. The thing is that you actually have to turn it on in two places, in superuser and developer options as well. I had tried that before, but it hadn't worked I think because I also had the SuperSU app on there. so steps I took when I got it to work:
1) Wiped data/cache/davlik (again, uggh, must have been my 7th data wipe in 3 days)
2) Reflashed ROM and Gapps
3) Wiped cache and davlik a second time
4) Fixed permissions
5) When phone rebooted and initial setup was finished, go into settings>superuser>menu>settings>superuser access>apps and adb
6) Activate developer options (tap 7 times on build number in about phone if anyone is still in the dark about that)
7) Settings>developer options>root access>apps and adb
I verified root access after that with root checker. While in developer options, I also turned on USB Debugging, I doubt that had an effect, just noting for thoroughness.
this did it for me:
5) When phone rebooted and initial setup was finished, go into settings>superuser>menu>settings>superuser access>apps and adb
6) Activate developer options (tap 7 times on build number in about phone if anyone is still in the dark about that)
7) Settings>developer options>root access>apps and adb

Since I did no data wipe, this was all I had to do - switching from root access "apps" to "apps & adb" Thanks for the hint :good:
Fixing root for me was just going into recovery and fix permissions then reboot and boom I got root
I'm on PACman 4.3 and I don't manage to have a working SuperSU...
I flashed it twice from TWRP (SuperSU update v1.65).
I put apps & ADB in SuperUser menu + in Developer Options
I fixed permissions via TWRP
It doesn't still work... When I open TricksterMOD a pop up shows up "Trickster Mod needs a rooted device and root access"...
I had a few wks a while back where I was computer-less. I used a friend's pc and slapped Odin and a few unzipped rom tars, cf-auto root. ..etc on a sdcard.. I did this so that if I had an issue I could quickly fix my phone from anywhere on anyone's pc.. Just a suggestion for anyone who doesn't have access to a computer...?

Hello, first time poster. I recently tried rooting my phone using CWM method. I'm running sph-l720 with software version vpaumf9 and android version 4.2.2. I installed CWM (this version SPH-L720 OUDHS Recovery) with odin with success. Then flashed SuperUser v.099. Everything went smooth until I opened up super user and tried to install binaries and it says "Install failed". I'm wondering if I didnt have the wrong beginning firmware and i needed to (but didnt) install that pre-kernel. I'm also wondering if I have to download the original firmware and have to flash to stock in order to "unroot" even though I didnt finish the SuperUser process, or is their a way to delete the super user app and try to install it again using the same CWM i have already on the phone. I hope this isn't confusing. I'm not a complete novice to rooting, but no expert. I rooted my galaxy s2 but went to Iphone for a while, but now I'm back and a little dissapointed with myself at this fail. Any suggestions? Do i have to go to stock first? Was I using the wrong files for my initial firm ware and need the pre kernel? Am I blabbering on? (yes) Thanks in advance.

Grap CF-Autoroot from here
Follow the instructions here:
Boot back to phone. Open up SU and update binaries.
Then
Go to Playstore and download/install GooManager
Open GooManager and then press the 'menu' button (capicitive button next to Home Button) and choose to install recovery (I like TWRP).
Then let it do it's thing.
If you'd like a real easy way to get 'into recovery mode' from the phone I use the Quickboot app
Also make sure that if you are going to flash ANY ROMs you follow the instructions the developer suggests - many suggest specific recoveries be used

thank you! do i need to do anything before i do this? (Like using odin to revert back to stock?)
i ask because i already have CWM installed
I did the auto root, and open SuperSU and it doesnt ask to update binaries...does that mean it is already done. I didnt find the option in the settings.

As long as your on some kind of TW/Stock based ROM you should be Okay.
However if you want to go back to straight (AND ROOTED) stock you can use one of rwhilco12's 'one-click' restores.
The one click downloads as a zip. decompress and then run the one -click. If you've never run a oneclick read here
It will give you a stock ROM, rooted, MF9 Modem, Stock recovedry, and Stock kernel. You'll then have to use GooManger method to get custom recovery.

man thanks so much. so i definitly got super user access. I'm about to do the goo manager. since you suggested the twrp i think i'm going to try that. since i have CWM recovery installed, do u think that will create any issues if I go to install TWRP from goo manager
actually i googled and it seems that goo manager will seamlessly overwrite cwm. sorry for the questions before searching. appreciate the help. i almost didn't come on here, which would of lead me to reverting to stock, doing cwm again, then being upset that i needed twrm for most roms lmao. I owe u one. If u ever need to learn how to make bad decisions, just shoot me a pm. I got u covered.
No it will just replace it.
I actually (and many around here too) prefer TWRP 2.5.0.2.
You can download the zip for that here, boot to recovery you have now (CWM) and then install that. Or use Goo to install lates TWRP and boot to recovery and then install zip and choose the 2.5.02 you downloaded and then save to your sd card
scratch what i posted here. I ended up having to download ROMmanager and update CWM, then used CWM to install the zip you provided me. thanks so much man. Do you have a favorite stable ROM you recommend using TWRP. I value your advice

Glad you got it.
As for ROMs you really have to try them out for yourself. There are some really great TW ROMs ; Sacs, negalite, triforce and others. For CM/AOSP there are a whole bunch to choose from. I mess with just about all of them. But my daily driver has to be one hundred percent working and reliable so for that I'm usually on a stock debloated and modified TW ROM. Take some time to read through the OPs of the devs and just as importantly through the follow up posts to see what works what doesn't ahs how to fix or get what you need.
Good luck

Try this Rom!

works great!
Hello everyone,
I noticed that this is a common problem and I realize just not that I shouldn't have just updated without informing myself.
Anyway, I checked and the root seems to be gone (checked with Root Checker, although the SU app is still there [but not working]).
I checked the fastbook and it says 'unlocked', which is good, I don't have to lose data.
How do I re-root properly?
I am using OS X at the moment and I have access to adb but, if needed, I can access a Windows computer again and use Nexus Root Toolkit again (that's what I used the first time I rooted).
I have CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip and recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.9-manta.img.
I checked the bootloader and it says 'no command' but it still has:
- reboot system now
- apply update from ADB
- wipe data...
- wipe cache...
Thanks in advance for any help
First thing - Nearly always you will lose root after applying an OTA - at least lately so that's not really a big deal.
Second - Get and always use the Latest version of root zip from chainfire: http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip
Or you can also just apply SuperSU from google play and you will prompted to reboot to update binaries etc. after you apply the OTA.
His blog on latest version: https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/QhrEdeJ3nqQ
I got the same problem.
I solved it by just by downgrading and upgrading back to the latest version of Cyanogenmod.
lg Darcade
I have the same problem...
I have the same problem, I have installed the 4.4.3 OTA and now SuperSU stopped working.
Any advice?
Easily got my root back using Wugfresh toolkit.
Only the paid for version of SuperSU - "Pro" will attempt to keep root after an OTA update. It worked perfectly for me on a 5, 7 and 10.

Don`t use toolkits, just boot into TWRP in fastboot and reflash the latest superSU.zip and you`re rooted.

Well done mate , toolkits suck and you have no control over them. Flashing with adb gives you full control and you learn something

...after having to go through this over and over again with every single update I'm starting to think that having root is definitely not worth the pain.
If you switch to TWRP using its built in SuperSU install makes re-rooting a breeze.

Ok so currently running a rooted VS980 on 12B with CWM 6.0.x.x non touch. I have attempted to flash both CM10.2 and a 4.4 kitkat absed rom (pa_g2-4.0-ALPHA-20131205-vs980). In both cases I get the same error,
asset failed: run_program("/system/bin/loki.sh") == 0
E: Error in /data/media/o/ (filename of rom in zip format)
(status 7)
installation aborted
My current steps are a backup of rooted 12B,
wipe/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik
format system.
I also attempted to install a GAPPS .zip to see if it was happening with all zip files, the GAPPS installed with no issues.
phone also will take a restore from CWM so at least im not bricked in the meantime
Now that that is all out of the way can anyone tell me what is happening here? Only my second rooted phone first being a droid 4 and by the time I rooted it there was a lot out in the form of auto runs and apps to take care of all the steps to root/flash roms. So my knowledge level is pretty novice on this.
UPDATE: so after my reading im coming across random issues with CWM on the LG G2. going to attempt to push ASOPA 4.4 with GAPPS after I switch to TWRP.
Get same thing on trwp

Make sure you are on the latest versions. Darker ones will not install kitkat. Roms

UPDATE 2:
Ok, so after following the guide below and face palming myself about a thousand times through the process, I've come to another snag..... I get all the way to the end in both options 1 and 2, then get the error below. Option 3 (GooManager) states that there is no recovery for my phone.

[+] loki_flash 2.1
[-] loki aboot version does not match device
looked around through the thread and cannot find a definitive answer on what im doing wrong or what I may have done wrong in rooting or with already running CWM.
I want to attempt to go back to stock. Completely unrooted and start from scratch but not sure the path to take on this. I've factory reset via CWM but the phone is still rooted and the apps i removed via titanium backup are missing as well.
Is there a way to pull a stock firmware and somehow push it to the phone so that everything i have done thus far is erased? ( excuse the terminology here) like erasing and reformatting a computer's hdd and re installing windows.

Hopefully this stock firmware guide works...
Goo doesn't work either lol. Use freegee to install recovery. Will take you about 2 minutes to complete and you will be rooted and have a custom recovery installed

Thats how I got CWM onto the phone after I rooted. After all my reading though, I want to go back to stock and start all over again. I still haven't got a chance to start the proccess yet, been pouring through the thread about reverting back to stock firmware to see what issues have come up. From mwhat I can tell the issues were all related to people not fully reading the directions provided by the OP. Will update once I have attempted. FreeGee worked like a charm for getting CWM on though
Ok, so using the thread listed above i was able to revert back to 11a!!!!!!! now, onto IORoot and see if i can loki twrp 2.6.3.2 and then flash 2.6.3.3.
Status 7 error means the rom developer is still using the old update binary script.
If you flash the latest philz recovery before you install a zip untick the setting that says" don't allow old update binary" Your zips should then flash without issue.
A better solution is to use the new update binary script yourself or ask the rom developer to update it.

Thanks for clarifying that!!!!!
So as of now I have re flash stock 11A per the guide (showed unrooted once done), Rerooted via IORoot 22 and then adb flashed twrp 2.6.3.2, Now I am going to flash the 2.6.3.3 .zip via TWRP and then try to flash A ROM and Kernel.
Back up and running!!!!
IORoot22
TWRP 2.6.3.3
ASOPA 4.4 BETA (updating as daily releases come out)
Slim GAPPS (might switch to regular due to the speech to text function being missing from keyboard but need to do some reading to figure out if running the full GAPPS will fix that or if it is something with the ROM ) EDIT: as i typed this i got a text and as i replied I noticed the icon is there now on the keyboard.... FACEPALM....
Thanks for all the information that was provided guys. Probably could have cleared this all up without the thread and just reading, Thanks for not flaming me and turning me away with a statement to use the search function.
To anyone reading this to find a fix for an issue they are having here are the links in order of what I did to get back up and functioning.

All these guides worked the first time through for me, make sure you take the time and read all the directions in them.
