[Q] Unrooted after installing custom ROM - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my phone and installed a Custom ROM (AndroidL) after installing my phone became unrooted automatically. My bootloader is unlocked and I have installed Clockwork Recovery.
Now how do i go about just to root my phone alone.

You should read the thread of the rom more carefully next time. Flash this: http://download.chainfire.eu/593/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.19.zip

DO I HAVE TO ROOT MY PHONE TO INSTALL THIS STOCK ROM VIA CWM , AS GIVEN IN THIS LINK >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1758884
i think not since OP did not mention any root or SU privileges needed
but just to be safe,
root it
as per experience with installing different roms, from installing fresh stock rom which is not rooted to flashing custom roms. i was able to install it successfully. but just to be safe, root it as mentioned by deathnotice.
for me rooting 1st is prioterize cause example installing tweaks somekind needs root previlage... for me thats my opinion
There is no harm in rooting. That stock rom is rooted anyway

You don't need to root your phone to flash a custom or stock rom. The simple reason is that all custom roms are pre-rooted roms with superuser pre-installed and flashing of stock roms doesn't need rooting. Don't forget to back up your stock rom and kernel via cwm recovery if you didn't own a pc as a safety measure in case you wanted to revert back to it in the event of bootloops or otherwise. If you do have a pc, it is not necessary as you can flash back to stock rom and kernel via odin. If you don't know how to flash via odin search the forum for tutorial. In case if you don't have any odin flashable firmware package, it is advisable that you create a back up. Sorry for the long reply.

[Q] Custom Recovery information needed,

Hello,
I have nexus 10, rooted with custom recovery, it says clockworkmod recovery v6.0.1.6. Anyhow, when Google send the update for 4.4 it doesn't get installed when i click on it, the device restarts and goes into recovery and the installation is aborted.
I tried finding the solution some said i could directly flash the update through custom recovery. Can I though. I am really not good at all this, i rooted it a long ago.
Thanks.
OTA won't work on a custom recovery. You will have to be 100% stock to take the update or you can get the stock rooted version here at XDA in the development forums.

LG G2 unroot for OTA?

Hey guys,
I am sorry for creating the thread if it is already answered somewhere but i didn't manage to find it.
I have a stock LP ROM and I've rooted it and installed custom recovery, and now OTA won't install v30d since device is suspected of rooting. I've already tried unrooting the device through superSU but it wasn't helpful. Do I need to restore a stock recovery too or what's the catch? By the way I don't want to reinstall stock ROM because I am already using it and it works pretty fine but it is bugging me that the phone keeps informing me about new ROM and I can't install it.
Please help or at least point me to the right place and again I don't want to reinstall stock ROM
Install recovery buckup data then flash stok rom then update and last install recovery again and restore data

Installing custom recovery on sm-n900v with stock lollipop rom

Hello all, I've been doing a lot of searching today to figure out if I can, and how to, install any custom recovery onto my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3 on Android 5.0. I want to do this so I can either install a custom rom, or use xposed. But now that I'm on 5.0 I'm not sure what's possible anymore. I can root just fine, but installing TWRP with Flashify, or CWM with ROM Manager just puts my phone in a soft lock when I power it up. Giving me an error because it recognizes that I've installed a custom recovery, so it just locks my phone. I've gotten out of this twice now but using Odin to install the Lollipop rom again. To reiterate, is there any way I can install custom recovery on this phone now? I've seen some conflicting things in my searches so I have no idea what the case is.
Thanks
If the phone has a locked bootloader, a custom recovery can't be installed.

[HELP] I have a problem updating to Android 6.0

Couples of days I have downloaded the update 2.27.401.1 which says that comes with Android 6.0. But when I tried to install it, it reboot and appear in the TeamWin screen and I don't know what to do.
The only changes or modification the phone has is that I have rooted it.
Unroot your phone, flash back to stock recovery, relock it, change CID if possible, reflash stock android rom.
