Hey guys just wondering how do I check and see if the Perm root worked? I followed the thread on how to and where it says to check perm root I am not sure how? Any help would be great, I am unable to post on the dev forum still! Like I said I am using z4mod to root and was able to get through step 6 I do not want to flash the recovery until I am sure the perm rooting worked!
Thanks guys
So I was playing around and was able to flash a clockwork rec mod update and boot into recovery, I am guessing that it has worked!
Well, it must have worked, I was able to flash a rom no problem! I went with cm7!
you have superuser access app.....there is a root checker in the market also.....
Awesome, I noticed sometime last night I had the su app and did not know there was a root checker! Thanks, will be help full when rooting other phones!
no problem!
how i knew was because after i have rooted other ppls phones, I always tell them not to mess with the su app....
i dont no much but exp with winmo has helped me hugely!
rootchecker, i thinks it called found outta boredom....lol
I've gotten the OTA update from Google three times and each time my system remains at 4.1.2. I've tried to update it manually using these instructions exactly: http://genius-tips.com/how-to-update-nexus-7-to-android-4-2-1-jelly-bean-cleanrom-custom-firmware/ and still my system remains at 4.1.2. What do I do? I'm becoming extremely frustrated. It's almost hard to type this out because I want to shove my fist through something.
EDIT: I'm also rooted. Should I unroot for the update? What happened to convenience if that's the issue? Serious first world problems right now.
EDIT EDIT: I just got the OTA update popup for 4.2 but I'll save it for later. Should I unroot? Or perhaps there's an app for this...
ok i will try to help you..
FIRST you say your on 4.1 you are rooted.. In order to help you we need to know more about your setup..
1. HOW DID YOU ROOT THE TABLET
2. ARE YOU ON CUSTOM RECOVERY
3.ARE YOU ON STOCK ROM (ASSUMING THIS IS YES)
4. Have you used a Root Tool kit on your device. (IF SO WHICH ONE)
5.Take slow deep breath and answer all the above correctly..
6. what version of nexus do you have . (not that important just curious) if its the 3g it will matter..
Post back and you will get help .
Also post exactly everything you have done and tried.. I think its simple your on custom recovery EASY FIX..

Haha! I love the attempt to calm me down. I took a walk with my GNex to hit up some Ingress portals so I'm okay now.
1. I rooted it on my W7 PC
2. .....yes? I assume.
3. Yes.
4. Wug's toolkit to root
5. It's the 16gb N7. My phone is VZW GNex *rage fist at Verizon*
A friend of mine suggested I try Voodoo OTA RootKeeper
I ended up trying OTA RootKeeper and it did allow me to install the update and so far it's working great. Thanks for the attempt!
P.S.: Sorry for being crazy in OP. I'm new to rooting, modding, etc. so I'm sure I could've solved this on my own with a bit more time but when it comes to messing with systems and just generally being a n00b, I get more upset at my own lack of knowledge. Time heals all wounds...
So I am on nc4 Ota and used towelroot to get root then downloaded SuperSU and it keeps failing to update the binary... what am I doing wrong?
....okay good, I am not the only one. I reported the same issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...supersu-fails-to-update-t2845426/post54772550
No one has responded to me yet. I highly doubt we are the only two people who have experienced this. From what I can tell, we have to install BusyBox, SafeStrap, and BajaROM in order to get this to work properly but I am not sure exactly how to do this. Take a look at my thread and see if the steps I laid out make sense.
Same issue here. It even said the initial install failed, but I can grant root permissions to apps. Who knows. I was able to get SafeStrap installed and flash another rom, anyway.
I found a solution and updated my thread for everyone's reference...

I know this turned out kinda long but please, I really need a hand here, I'm new to all of this and I'm constantly worried I might screw up bad.
I had a pretty ****ty night because at some point I screwed up with my current root (funnily enough, after having everything working I apparently updated the SU binary after it requested me to, and that put me in a bootloop) but I managed to restore a backup I had through TWRP.
Now, I had rooted with Magisk and pphh SuperSU, along with systemless xposed. It's what I have now since the backup was made after root.
I'm pretty new to all of this so I just followed instructions. Thing is, my root comes and goes with reboots and that's honestly very annoying, so I would like to know if there's any way to unroot -and retain my current firmware which is the one the phone came with- so that I can later root with something which won't bring me problems, like CF auto root.
Would a factory reset do the trick?
Thank you very much for your time. Any help is greatly appreciated.

This is the wrong section to make a thread like this. Please close this thread thanks.
Sorry. Maybe they could move it for me?
I installed super su on my Galaxy On5, flashed super su and rooted it with Odin too. Today i hit full unroot on supersu then rebooted and snapchat worked which told me it's been unrooted. Then figuring I'd be safe with installing magisk (since super su said it reverted to the stock image or something like that) I flashed magisk 13.3 but after it finished succesfully i rebooted but can't find anything magisk related installed on my phone. Could someone point me in the right direction?

I had one time where I got Magisk working with the Superstarz ROM on the SM-G550T1. I don't remember what I did tbh, but it took hours of rebooting, frustrating hanging, etc.. Upon one of the Magisk modules I flashed after it did work, of course to my sadness it stopped working. Nandroid backups are so crucial and I just stopped making so many changes before a backup these days. Sure you can't speed demon through and get all your wildest fantasies to come true overnight, but I find making incremental progress with backups to me more sustainable. Anyways, I tried many times, many setups, and ultimately wasted many hours trying to "win" with this phone. I'd honestly highly recommend sticking with SuperSu by Chainfire as it has always just worked. That means no Android Pay, no Pokemon Go, and prolly others I haven't considered. I too wanted to have my cake and eat it... For Safetynet to pass and la la la. Truth be told, it is a royal pain in the arse!!! If YOU STILL DARE, you would definitely want to make sure you start with a stock ROM boot image and BACK IT UP #1. If you are using a custom ROM it may not allow you to fully unroot and go back to a stock img because it doesn't find one to revert to. For Magisk to pass SafetyNet and work at full capacity, you must start there. If you go to the trouble of going all the way back to stock, please upload one for all of us and make sure to include your phone/os specs from about phone. From stock, flash custom recovery BEFORE ROOT, within recovery back up boot, upload for us and yourself. Now, you have a legit revertible img to go back to in case you can't from Magisk/SuperSu. Phh's Superuser was a nightmare btw, never worked correctly. There's no way to unroot and go back to a stock boot img that I found unless you first back up from TWRP or custom recovery. Long answer, more than you bargained for no doubt, but hopefully something to be gained from. Really though... if all you want is for Snapchat to work and can live without Android Pay/Pokemon Go. Here's an easier method: uninstall Xposed, unroot, log into Snapchat (let it save a login token), root, re-install Xposed, Titanium Backup Snapchat, it should hold up from there. Did it once, forget if that's entirely right, but search and ye will find exact threads. I just said to hell with Snapchat, Pokemon Go, and Android Pay. I'd rather settle for Chainfire's Superuser's stability, Xposed (more mods), & less overall B.S. Sorry if that isn't the best possible answer, or what exactly you were sought. I did however want to share some of my experience (many, many, many hours of tinkering). All in all, I finally decided to order a new digitizer/lcd to repair an old OnePlus One that I have had laying around. I plant to fix it and migrate because I'll tell ya right now... ppl just aren't gonna do much more for this model than what you see out there. Perhaps I'm being a pessimist, but also realist... I've been waiting around looking for something to come, too lazy to attempt re-compilation of code myself, and no one else has yet. Magisk can be a nightmare to the ninth gate's extreme degree. It is possible, not saying it can't be done. Have patience, or it won't that's for sure. Just really have to mess up... lots of times... over and over, and over and over and over again. Learn, read XDA, and be stubborn/patient as hell until you get there. Document your progress so you know what you did and maybe you can help someone else. Other times it's more advantageous pick what matters, settle, and focus on something else. :good:
From my understanding you need a clean install, unroot with SU (or install SU as systemless (?)),wipe internal, and follow instructions to install Magisk... I'm not totally sure though, also install the Magisk module.
