I am a noob and had someone else install supersu root a few months ago because I dunno how to do it. I just upgraded to android 4.1.2 which uninstalled supersu, busybox etc. How do I reinstall root?
Get Wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit 1.5.4 (if you have a Windows PC). It does it all for you with a nice easy on-screen menu.

I tried using Nexus toolkit 1.5.4 to re-root after OTA 4.1.2 and it failed to root, it won't even install BusyBox even though it says its successful. Not sure how to get root back without a nuke and pave.
I'm sure the 4.1.2 root problem has been fixed for the nexus 7, and I don't wanna seem snobby, but the site's search function isn't the most helpful for me and all Google does is just give me results to threads of users having the same problem. does anyone have the link to the thread I need to re-root my nexus 7?
Hello Xda, sorry for such a noob question but i have manually(using Terminal) just tried to root my nexus 4 with a little sour luck. I think the problem came when moving SuperSU to my nexus, i had no idea what to so i simply used Android File Transfer. Then i went to my device and Twrp seemed to be working fine so i installed and backed it up. Then i went to root checker and root checker said my phone was not rooted and although SuperSU was present it said that ther is no SU BInary was installed.
Hi. Go ahead and install this zip in TWRP. http://download.chainfire.eu/351/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip?retrieve_file=1
It installs SuperSU and the required binaries.

I wanted to update my Nexus 7 (2012) to 4.3. I was running stock rom, with the latest Trinity Kernel. I tried to flash the stock kernel so I could update to 4.3, but something went wrong and it bricked. I managed to use Wugfresh's ToolKit to undo root and bootloader unlock, and to install 4.3 . It went just fine.
But now I can't reroot. When I boot the Nexus, I still see the "unlocked" emblem at the bottom, which is weird. I installed the Samsung drivers, and it worked fine and tested fine, but as soon as a I tried to unlock it again, I suddenly lost all Fastboot access and I can't unlock or root.
Can anyone give me any advice?
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....
I have followed all the procedure from this site Root Nexus 4 on http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/root-nexus-4-android-5-0-lollipop-build-lrx21t-install-supersu-1474940 but I am not able to root.
I did install cwm, supersu still after reboot cwm gets deleted and supersu doesn't work. Any suggest on what is the issue? My phone was already rooted as i was using rooted nexus 4 during kitkat and jellybean.
I have installed completely fresh new android l from official factory images.
Is there anything I am doing wrong?
Sorry for my bad english.
