[Q] Rooted Droid X - Factory Reset Question

I want to do a factory reset, but would like to keep root.
Version 4.5.621
Android Version 2.3.4
When I updated to 4.5.621, I used I used Vodoo OTA Rootkeeper v2.03 to restore root after the update.
Will I keep root or can I use Vodoo to restore root after a factory reset?
Thanks

A factory reset will not remove root privileges.

[Q] Lost root access?

I've been rooted and running Sacs ROM for a while now, but somehow I've lost root access. When I try Supersu it tells me "There is not SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it..."
I have been trying different ROMS and restored from a nandroid backup using TWRP. What do I need to do to get back root access?

Can you not just reroot with CF Auto Root?

Yes, I can, but I wasn't sure if that was advisable or not given that I had root access before and somehow lost it. In any event, I re-rooted using CF auto root and all is well. What I don't understand is how I lost root access in the first place.

No telling why you lost it. Did you take an update?
I know I updated to NC6, lost root, but re-rooting was not an issue.

Note 3 & Kingo ROOT problem

Hello
I have problems with rooting Note 3 with Kingo ROOT tool.
Everytime when i try to root the phone tool stuck at 27% saying Waiting for device...
I have enabled usb debugging. Phone restart sometimes in the rooting process.
If i try to root with Kingo ROOT apk i get sometimes root failed or come to 95% then restart the device and phone is not rooted again.
What to do?

try to root with cf-auto root

But with this root app i will lose warranty right?

You would lose your warranty when you root your phone-via the app or otherwise.

Do i need to put my phone in download mode if i want to root it with Kingo ROOT tool too?
Cuz i do it like it says on Kingo tutorial site for Note 3 and didnt put phone in download mode.
I really want to root it with Kingo ROOT tool since KNOX wont mark it that was been rooted and i can also unroot it very easy.

CF-autoroot or flash TWRP then in TWRP flash SuperSU

Have you lost root since? I've read a lot about people loosing root after a few hours to a couple of days. Any other issues, like random crashes / freezes / reboots?

That's why flashing TWRP and SuperSU is the safest/easiest way to root, it's about as straightforward as it gets

Wasn't aware I could flash a custom recovery on a stock unrooted phone. I don't use the s4, that's why both of the ones I own aren't rooted already, my personal phones are often rooted before I even get home from the store! I need root and su without tripping knox or making any significant changes to the current set-up on either phone. I would prefer the recovery was stock on at least one of 'em. So how should I go about this? One is a tri band and the other isn't. The dual band one needs to be as stealth as possible. Losing root really won't matter as long as the system permissions remain as is prior to losing root.

Flashing a custom recovery is going to trip knox. Why do you care about knox? Triband or not flashing TWRP and SuperSU is the same. If you lose root and have things that require root to operate, you will lose the function of those things, unless it's a one off type of thing

It's imperative that root is stealth. Just need to give one app already running su permissions. On one device knox is monitored, that's why I care. I wouldn't care on my s5, but I never tripped it anyway - rooted with modified stock recovery, flashed MOAR, flashed TWRP. Been using MAOR and TWRP since each was first released. Been rooted on my personal devices since 3 days after the Hero was released. I've just never rooted the s4 or "stealth rooted" any device. That's why Kingroot / SSM looks promising. Any help would be appreciated.
