I lost my root, after flashing a kernel? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Today I have flashed a kernel (Mirage kernel), and now I lost my root on my Google Nexus 4 with Mahdi-ROM.
I know tot root the device again with Wugfresh ROOT Toolkit, only I'm now on vacation, for 5 weeks, and I didn't braw my Laptop.
So, how I can get my ROOT back?
Other kernels like Matrix, Hellscore and Franco there I didnt lost my root. But with The Mirage kernel...
Thanks!

you have to flash SuperSU in recovery. I bet you are using SuperSU already. if you were, open the play store, and install SuperSU. open it after installing, if it tells you that you need to update your su binaries, do it. if not, flash via recovery. and its not the ROMs fault, I bet you lost root because your su binaries need updating, that you haven't updated them in a while.

Sorry for late reply.
You helped me amazing, thankyou very much.
I flashed that SuperSu file in TWRP recovery and now I have root back.
Thanks again my friend.
PS: What kernel is good for battery?

despite what you hear, there's no such thing. battery life is dependant on how you personally use your phone, how you set it up, what apps you use, and the quality of your phone/data signal.
but I personally use trinity kernel.

the most popular ones are hellscore and ak but are many that are also great
try them

[Q] Franco kernel disabled root..

hey guys, thanks for all the info you post however I have an issue with the newest Franco kernel. I installed the latest release and after reboot my root access is gone. I tried reinstalling Super SU, but even when doing it through TWRP it doesn’t install. The kernel is R75 the latest available through the Franco App. This is my first time using a kernel, is this normal? What do I need to do to get rooted again?
Thanks for everyone's contributions on the forum, you have helped me tremendously in the past just from reading posts and thanks for any help with this issue.

The only thing lately I notice lately is flashing some 4.3 roms you loose root. Easy to get back just use the below tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
I also had the same problem when i flashed franco kernel #75 over PA #3.91 and it broke the root.
I also searched for superuser patch but could not find any updates.

So is there currently no fix for this then? I think I'd rather go with Stock Kernel than lose all of my root exclusive apps.
BTW I don't think I mentioned it before, I am using a Nexus 7 (orig).
Edit:
I just found this
Just auto-flash the r75-nightly with FKU on my stock-4.3 nexus 7 16GB.
After re-boot, the supersu poped up a notification that "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!".
This issue is solved after I re-flash the current latest UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip with CWM.

If i read correctly, something in the latest CM 10.2 ramdisk released recently broke root. The next update to all of the kernels will see it fixed.

if you use the SuperSU link I provided you can re-root with the latest franco kernel running.
SuperSu worked!!!

lose root after installing FKR75 with FK updater
I tried flashing the latest super su 1.65 zip but TWRP said it couldn't open the zip file. I had to reflash the stock ROM to get back root.
I have followed this thread but found no answer.

Is your tablet encrypted? The same happened to me on my encrypted N4 and the only option was to go back to stock kernel.

official stock rooted 4.4 yet?

hi guys,
i just did a search in the development and original development threads for 'stock rooted 4.4' and came up with nothing.
Is there one created yet and also one that is cwm flashable?
thanks guys
There is already a working root for 4.4. I actually rooted my device immediately after I upgraded to kitkat yesterday. Though I lost the link here in xda, just search for it.
thanks mate.
the reason i was looking for a simple flashable stock rooted rom is i am very good with knowing about the bootloader or what exact 4.3 i used last time and i didnt know if it mattered.
there is an official stock rooted version on the nexus 7 2013 forum i noticed yesterday but i couldnt see one here.
also, i am running cwm recovery and i think the nexus root toolkit uses twrp doesnt it?
anyway, thanks for the help and hopefully a flashable soultion will be available soon.

If you already have CWM installed, then you can flash supersu. I don't know where it is in this forum, but just try searching.

Thanks but I already have supersu, I don't understand what that has to do with the rom im looking for apart from the root element that I already understand about.
I downloaded the flashable zip from here - roll back to 4.2.2 stock first using CWM and kept my data, about 90 minutes including wait time - running KitKat now, rooted (again) on KitKat 4.4 stock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47522094#post47522094 - see my post for steps that I followed. Results vary & do so at your own risks.
I'm sure in a few more days - XDA developers will tweak & come up with optimized odexed stock rom with add-ons, but I'm half a step ahead for my own sneak preview - less than 1 hour into it, smooth & no FC or errors - figure I might as well do it over the weekend - the new baby Nexus 5 running stock 4.4 & rooted already, of course.

Root after manual update?

So I finally found some time for my unlocked and rooted nexus 4. Right now it is on 4.3 stock and I want to update to 4.4.2. Now the question which I couldn't find an answer on Google: Do I loose root after manual update? I've seen some videos on that, but some say that you need stock recovery (I have TWRP), but nothing about root.
Also, I'd install Franco kernel after that.
Help and possible tutorial would be appreciated, I'm still kinda new to android.
You can have a stock experience by installing the Experience ROM in the development thread.
Make sure you are running the latest TWRP before trying to flash a 4.4 ROM.

Yes, always when you flash another stock Rom, you will lose root.
But it's a matter of seconds to reroot after flashing latest supersu.zip through TWRP.

So... Hello Xda, I pretty Much didnt post on my old account and at some point lost access to my email User. it was ages old.
I'm sitting here with my new Note 3, its an Snapdragon one, LTE, N9005, and i updated it manually to 4.4.2 using odin, and now i'm Freaking tired of touch****z (sorry. Don't mind the language.) and well, basically i don't get what to do, do i need to downgrade it? what do i need to install a recovery? how do i get root on stock? I hope that i don't seem rude, i just lost track, and i don't want to brick a seven hundred euro phone, understandable, so if somebody would help me out, I'd be super glad. and again thanks for a still awesome community XDA Members.

You can gain root by following the post above, take note that rooting might trigger your knox counter and void your warranty.
Since you've lost track search and read will be your best option.
So far so good.
Thanks for the Help guys, I managed to do all this and install Philz recovery, but other recoveries wont boot, when i tried to install CM11 through Philz i get Something about an kernel not enforcing, and nothing more but that looping over and over again. Is it even possible to install roms on it?
Any help would be super great

CM11 runs on JB bootloader, install a custom KK rom and you should be fine...

Are there any ASOP Roms on that out?
I Found out that Recoveries also changed, and install a CWM that works with 4.4. I'm pretty fine with it now!
Now i'll just be waiting for asop stuff like the rest of the note3 section. Thanks for the Help everybody!

No CM11 nor AOSP rom for KK bootloader. You're stuck with TW only at this moment
