Hello,
I have a Nexus 4, with the stock Factory Images from Google, with Andoroid 5.0.
I use the Nexus Root Toolkit from Wugfresh 1.9.6, only I can't have Root fixed.
I tried, root (also with custom recovery), tried install the root packages, but noting works..

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?
Nexus 10 with 4.2.1.
I unlocked and rooted using Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.2.
I hear that 4.2.2. ug is coming soon. Questions are:
Will upgrading to 4.2.2 unroot the device and if so, will Root Toolkit 1.6.2 root it again or will I have to wait for the upgrade to the toolkit.
Thanks.

I had the exact same situation and question as you except asked it in the Nexus 7 thread. Like you I used wugfresh toolkit to unlocked & rooted v4.2.1. Then today I downloaded & installed v4.2.2 using the quickboots recovery app that wugfresh installed. After that, I lost root. I took a chance and just used wugfresh toolkit configured still for v4.2.1 (since it currently has no choice for the newer v4.2.2 yet.) and rooted my Nexus 7 again. It worked and rerooted v4.2.2.

Thanks for the input. To be on the safe side, I installed OTA root keeper. I will try installing 4.2.2 this weekend and see what happens
I flashed it yesterday.
Restored my stock 4.2.1 Nandroid.
Used OTA Rootkeeper to backup su.
flashed the zip file in TWRP without renaming or anything. Didn't wipe anything either.
Once it completed I restored root with OTA Rootkeeper.
Reflashed TWRP with Goo Manager app once booted because you will loose TWRP recovery while flashing the zip!
and done... no issues so far.

I used Wug's toolkit 1.6.2.
First I copied the 4.2.2 OTA zip file to the Nexus 10
Ran the toolkit and told it to boot into temporary custom recovery
Install the zip file
cleared Cache and Dalvik
Rebooted.
Never lost root except for Titanium Backup but another reboot cleared that up.
Wugfresh doesn't have the new update so if I root I'll go back to 4.3 but it won't have the security update. What can I do?
root how youre supposed to root, not with a toolkit. its just as easy and fast, but done the right way. this is a quick run through..
via fastboot, fastboot oem unlock.
via fastboot, flash yourself a custom recovery.
via your new recovery, flash the su binaries, then reboot.
profit.
thats how you root any nexus device. yes, any nexus device.
Toolkits lazy-fied this community.
[OTA Captured] Android 4.4.4 KTU84P for the Nexus 7 2013
Nexus 7 2013 Wifi (flo) Over Air Update from KTU84L 4.4.3 to KTU84P 4.4.4
This only for Nexus 7 2013 Wifi Version
If you ran Towelroot on 4.4.3 and got root, then took this OTA, you will lose root (no surprise there). I was able to reinstall Towelroot and reroot. (SuperSU reports new binary required, then reports update failed, but after reboot I was rerooted.) Obviously, this only matters if your bootloader is locked.
Yesterday.
I lose root and custom recovery (cwm) after 4.4.4 OTA update on my Nexus 7.
Then I installed TowelRoot, applied the exploit and I gain root again... very very simple! No unlock bootloader needed or fastboot command...
Then with Rom Manager I reflashed custom recovery (cwm), flashed UPDATESuperSu.zip and uninstalled Towelroot apk....
recovery gone
This OTA (actually installed via Android system update) killed my recovery (TWRP) too.
I've reflashed TWRP 2.7.1.1 via fastboot, but I can't seem to get into recovery. Whenever I select Recovery from the bootloader, I get an opened-up android drawing with a red exclamation over him, sort of like the "No command" thing with my Nexus 4, only without "No command". Naturally, I tried holding Power+Vol-UP, but that didn't work like my Nexus 4. I can't seem make any key combination or duration of key hold work...
The happy ending is that I went back to TWRP 2.7.1.0 and I can get into recovery (and reflash SuperSU). Hard to believe there's really a problem with 2.7.1.1. Maybe I'll try the next version...
NRT works perfectly
I just used Nexus Root Toolkit with TWRP and worked perfectly fine for re-rooting.
Just I update the latest version 4.4.4. Its still not rooted from the beginning. Can anyone advice shall I change to run on ART on my tab which is not rooted. Thhhanks

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.
