I rooted my T-Mobile LG G2 (D801) and the firmware screen shows the red ROOTED. Also ran Root checker and it says the same. Then I ran TWRP and titanium backup... everything is fine. I then flashed several ROMS (hellfire, paranoid, cm11) all is well.
However, when I ran AOKP unofficial build compiled on 12/27/13 and try to install titanium it says I'm not rooted. Checked the firmware screen - still Red root, but when I run root checker: sorry this device doe not have PROPER root access.
Loaded titantium, because I think this might be the issue. Error message: Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This attempt was made using */system/bin/su" command.
Is it looking in the wrong area?
UPDATE:
Problem was with the build of AOKP. Installed the nightly from 2-8-14 and the issue was resolved... hope this helps someone having similar issues.
download and flash the superuser app via recovery. open app and update binaries.

Thanks, but the problem was the AOKP build.

Superuser not work
ROM Manager saying i need to root my phone. Please help completely lost.
Open superuser, hit menu, toggle permissions on, reboot.
And get rid of ROM Manager
Need More help didn't work
I don't use CM, but if it comes with the newest version of SuperUser (3.04 I believe), then that's likely the problem. Uninstall it and install an older version.
R&R SU with one in this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297612
I too had thought I lost root access w/ latest SU (3.04 I believe).
Installed 3.0 in above link and everything back to normal now, i.e, root apps functioning normally.
Just be careful not to update app through Market to 3.04; I haven't found a way to stop it prompting me to update. Can't detach from Market via TB because SU doesn't appear in apps list.
i'm on 3.4 with no issues but ive lost root flashing other roms with 3.0. weird
Do what HipKat says.
I unlocked then rooted my nexus 7 8GB. Mainly to access external storage. This I achieved and with stickmount was able to achieve the objective, reading from a usb stick.
I felt at the time that there was something wrong as installed app Titanium backup pro - but could never find it. though google still tells me it is installed.
Rom manager states I have ClockworkMod 6.0.1.0 & that 6.0.2.3 is available BUT after dowloading "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" an error occures.
I installed root checker pro. It advises that not rooted properly although busybox is installed correctly. Reports attached
I have both superuser installed at original root. Since also installed Super su, neither will install binary code.
Is there anything I can do to ensure I am rooted and stay that way?
Thanks for any help offered.
Easiest thing to do boot into recovery, make a backup always,do a wipe flash a custom ROM plenty out there
You may have lost your root, so try to reroot. As for keeping root, DL Voodoo OTA RootKepper from the Play Store. Works like a charm.
Hi,
I rooted my wifi Nexus 7 using Wugfresh toolkit and everything worked fine. After that I installed SmoothRom 4.3, which again went without a glitch. However, at some point I have noticed that the root is gone. This may have happened when I flashed Trinity kernel, but I am not sure. The Superuser SU is still there and couple of programs still have root access (e.g. Nova launcher), but Titanium backup no longer has root access (and it worked before). I re-rooted this morning using Wugfresh and everything went to the completion. I have Superuser SU and Busybox icons, but Busybox would not install and Titanium backup would not work due to the absence of root access. Any thoughts of what can be done to fix this?
Did you flash with TWRP or CWM? I have heard that you have to re-name some of the file names so that you do not lose the root access. You may have to re-flash and start from scratch but I am not sure. Personally i used MSKIP's toolkit. His has basically a 1.2.3........... root and flash setup. It is very easy to follow, plus one of the steps states "Do you wish to re-name file names so as not to lose Root access on restart." or something pertaining to that, I forgot exactly what it says, but I know that it is there.

I had the same issue. If you reflash the ROM, the problem corrects temporarily. It may be something w/the most recent version of Smooth- particularly when updates are made to Super User. I tried several different kernels and still "lost" root. Eventually I moved on to another ROM and have not had the issue since.
Thanks for the suggestions. I am using CMW. Tried MSKIP toolbox, but same result. Titanium gave back an error message that device appears to be rooted, but Superuser SU is not working properly. So, I went back and did CMW restore from an earlier backup, which seems to have fixed the problem. Titanium is working again.
Hi all,
Just flashing my note 3 to stock rom 4.3 latest update. Then using dr.ketan multitool to root, at this stage all is good. Until I install apps like titanium backup (titanium said no binary found) or triangle away (it says supersu needed, even the phone is rooted and supersu can be updated). Tried to install busybox from apps store but still can't fix the problem. checked with root checker, it says device rooted but no busybox found.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Have tried to flash and reflash so many time with different options but still no fix. I just need to get the busybox get recognised so my titanium backup and triangle away can work properly.
Hi Guys.
As the title suggests root access suddenly disappeared from my nexus 6p yesterday.
DigitalHigh rom 7.0 was flashed through the latest twrp (3.0.2-2) and everything was running fine. I got the notification that the SU binary is out of date from PHH's SuperUser. Opened it but nothing really happened. So I downloaded superSU and suddenly it prompted me that the device isn't rooted. Being unfamiliar with PHH's SU I decided to flash the latest SuperSu through TWRP but the phone wouldn't boot.
Right now it has been restored to a backup taken just before flashing SuperSU which means everything is running fine and even android pay works however there's no root access. Is there something specific that might have caused this?
Are there any ways to re-gain root?
Haven't gone through the process of a clean flash yet as the phone is needed for work however even if all of that is done the SU binary will still need to be updated. Is there a different method for updating PHH's root?
So far I have tried clearing cache etc. but noting worked.

Phhusson's superuser and SuperSU don't mix. If you're back to booted, but not rooted with Phh, you'll need to either flash one of the Nougat boot images from the nexus/angler folder or the latest superuser.zip (I think the latest is r229) from http://superuser.phh.me
