i know this might sound crazy,
break your phone again,
and make the guys from samsung repair it,

Odd but all your rooting methods are flashed via cwm, i remember there is another rooting method using pc, i used it to rroot my friends pphone which ran on froyo but as i remember it would also work on gingerbread too its called superoneclick root, google it, if that dont work look for universal gingerbread root or try looking for gingerbreak.apk use other methods of rooting not just the update.zip from cwm

Its really weird to not have root via those methods, maybe universal gingerbread root can do it, keep your hopes up bro :thumbup:

Download free superuser elite from google...or buy it from play store ..snd update the su

I am tired now
no Worky too
SU icon comes but no root acess
Edit
Is it possible that samsung people found out that i have rooted my phone and so locked it or something
sorry for weird questions but now my brain is working in all direction

Well, there's only one hope. Root your phone with this zip: http://www.galaxy4gaming.in/2012/07/root-unroot-samsung-galaxy-y.html
Next, use SuperSU...from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImV1LmNoYWluZmlyZS5zdXBlcnN1Il0.
Please update binaries. I'm sure it'll help...

Thank You
But didnt helped though!!!!

Towelroot works for Z2

Just confirm Geohot's towelroot works on Z2 Android version 4.4.2.
Here is how
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784900
However, you can't install supersu directly from play store, You need to download supersu apk from http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/

You have to search a bit before opening new thread.
We all know that easy root, towel and community...
You can easily run easy root and root it via towel root.
No need for any special steps.
That info you said, that you can't use supersu from market is old news...
Supersu id updated to 2.0 and it's working without any problems directly from market...

So you mean, from now on installing SuperSU manually by downloading it on http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/ and just going on Google Play and installing SuperSU from there are the same thing? I remember there was some issues between these two methods.
And another question; going on towelroot.com and installing tr.apk manually has the same effect with using Easy Root Tool?
Thank you.

Yes and yes...
Supersu wasn't updated that was all...
Nothing major, there's v2.0 now (or even higher) and it's working...
Easy root have a script that downloads same file (towelroot) from same source so yes, it's absolutely the same...

Hello,
So to clarify a little bit this method.
You have to install the SuperSu from Google Play Market and that's it, you can have ROOT on your Xperia Z2?
And if I don't want anymore to have ROOT on my Z2, simply remove the apk and you are without ROOT?
Thank you in advance!

Problem with Super SU
Hi everybody,
I did the following:
Downloaded tr.apk from towelroot.com
Installed and started it
Got "you got root" message
Went to Play-store and installed SuperSU
Started it and got error-message: "Could not install SU-file"
Updated with apk from chainfire
Stated SuperSU again and still got the error again
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
Georg

cool :laugh:
Yesterday zxz0O0 uploaded a new version Easyrootool V8, but after that Geohot changed the tr.apk. Now the easyrootool is not working ...
Seems zxz0O0 is on holiday ...
:crying:

Got the new Z2.
Have rooted my phone with tr. And it's really good that rooting Z2 under 4.4.2 is so easy.
Thanks developers for the TR.

I knew there is a newer version on play store but it didn't work for me.
I rooted my phone yesterday and I belivered I dl the newest version of supersu but It failed to update the binary.
The older version from the zip file works.

I just rooted my z2 similar to how you describe using easyroot v8 however as you said because tr was updated it no longer worked, couldnt recognise it.
i found this link in another thread http://www.mediafire.com/download/hath2562jyxipo3/tr.apk. once downloaded, put this tr apk in the files directory of the extracted easyroot, click on the install.bat file, follow the prompts etc and you'll fine it will work (well it did for me), then of course install supersu etc

OTA Update to 4.4.4 Kept Root

I thought some of you might be interested in this...
I was rooted on my SPG511 with locked bootloader, having used TowelRoot12.2. I was using the paid version of SuperSU and had enabled Survival Mode.
I just took the OTA to 4.4.4 and much to my surprise I still had root after the upgrade! So that's good news... Let me know if you have any questions....

Do you still have rw access to /system?

ES Explorer says I have r/w access to /system but I'm not sure how to test this

Gonna give the same thing a shot and see what it does to me...

I did the above and lost root...

Simply test it with any app need root, e.g. Titanium Backup, Lucky Patcher or etc, to see if these app still works.

how did u use the OTA , my tab keeps on telling me that he cant verify the OTA to 4.4.4

Same here

Interesting! What version were you on exactly and what did you update to? In the update to 17.1.2.A.0.314 I lost root even though I had the paid version of SuperSu and survival mode enabled. I currently have the update to 23.0.1.A.430 pending and I fear losing root with no means to get it again without unlocking my bootloader.

i also had the paid and lost root, i just found a prerooted flashable and i'm going to use that

I just updated from .314 to .167 and I didn't lose root. Tb and all other root apps still working fine. I have PRO version of SuperSU.
Edit:I didin't even have PRO version of SuperSU.. Root still working

did you check whether its properly Rooted using SU or Root checker?
Also not all Kitkat compatible Xposed modules are working with Lollipop (esp in Touchwiz)
And what recovery have you installed to flash ROM?

i checked it with root checker app get it through play store... it shows my device is rooted but still i am not able to install omega rom. i rood my mobile with ( CF-Auto-Root-ha3g-ha3gxx-smn900) with odin BASEBAND N900DDUEBOB1. & STILL IT SHOWS STOCK RECOVERY MODE.

You need to flash recovery separately.
If you read instructions in CF Auto Root, they'd have mentioned as Outcomes as (Root + Stock Recovery)
Flash TWRP or Philz after that

Galaxy Note 4- Custom Rom and Root?

Custom Rom and Root..
So I just got my Note 4 and I'm thinking of installing a custom rom but since my banking app wont work on rooted devices I'm wondering can I install a custom TW rom and then Unroot?
Thanks

How about you flash any custom rom you want and then use root cloak which hides the root from apps you define meaning your banking app can't see that you are rooted.
This way you can be rooted and use banking app. You will need to have xposed installed for this to work. Use Google to read up on root cloak.

Sadly this doesn't work with the Barclay's banking app, I've done a lot of searching to find a solution and nothing

There is a good reason not to use banking apps with root... I wouldn't risk doing that... Also to root and unroot or change the kernel every time is cumbersome

You can search and download stock ROM for your phone, then flash via Odin.
