I just finished backing up with TWRP and installing the latest nightly build of CM11. I logged into my Google account okay, but for some reason it's not doing the automatic install of all my apps like it usually does when I install a new ROM. Odd. Okay, that's annoying, but whatever. I did a backup with Titanium, too, so I guess I can do a full restore of the apps with that, instead.
However, when I try to use AdAway, it tells me that I don't have root. I install Root Checker, and sure enough, no root! Well, that should be easy enough to fix, I think. I run off to towelroot.com, and then download and install Towelroot. But when I try to root again, it tells me that my phone's not supported! My phone is a SM-G900T, and I had rooted it successfully with Towelroot about a month ago!
Any ideas? How can I re-root my phone with CM11?
Got it. I kept finding articles asking how to unroot after installing CM. It's just a setting in CM, though (under Developer Options). Root is off by default; so, I just had to turn it on.

I may have missed this in another thread, so please feel free to redirect me if so...
Without thinking, I updated my Droid with the OTA push and my previously rooted Droid 2 is now not rooted.
I did try to run the oneclick and 1-2-3 root processes. Both end with "your device is now rooted", but of course it's really not. I do have the Superuser APK, but my rooted programs are not communicating with it. And I'm not able to uninstall the Superuser program (thought I'd try to reinstall it). No go.
I had Titanium Backup, ad am wondering if I can wipe my phone and restore it, then upgrade, and root after. I'm a newbie with limited knowledge, so wondering if I've backed myself into a corner on this one.
All feedback appreciated!
Yesterday, I did the same thing you tried and I was successful in rerooting my phone after the OTA update. When you used the 1-click process did you choose option 1 or 2. I tried 2 and it didn't work. I had to chose option 1 (reload everything) to be successful. BTW, remember to make a new recovery backup of the system.

Same issue here - how I fixed
I had already made titanium backups of important stuff - you have to go into applications (that use root) and force stop and clear data. Once this is complete open titanium backup for instance, and you should be asked for super user and then be good to go. Same goes for rest of apps that need root
OTA update Loop?
i have my d2 rooted after the ota 2.2 update. i just received a notification to accept the most recent OTA update ... whatever it is... and assumed it was one of my apps as i didnt read it thru completely b4 tapping 'ok'. now it is stuck in a download, reboot, update, "update unsuccessfully installed", redownload, reboot...........
is there a way to cancel the update? i dont really care if i have it or not
or some way to stop this process aside from the airplane mode i had to set it to so it would stop this madness
So you can do the OTA update without having to unroot and reroot?
Great advice from all - thanks! I'm not sure exactly what fixed it, but I ran DOROOT several times, did the unplug/plug when it hung for a minute, force closed/cleared data from previously rooted items, and also put phone into 'charge only' mode when USB Debugger would not run.
Finally - success! My advice to users with this same issue - try and try again.
Thanks all!
Does towel root method work on AN12 update. I have read the root methods for under AN12 but since this update has been out for a while now i thought maybe they got towel root to work.
Thank you in advance.

Short answer is yes, however, you will need to ODIN your kernel first then gain root with towel root. Read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784860
Towelroot v3 refuses to install on Galaxy S5 from Verizon.
I'm having problems getting Towelroot v3 installed on my Verizon Wireless, Samsung Galaxy S5 16mb phone.
We were running fine while being rooted under V4.4.4 and Rom *NHA*.
We removed SuperSU, and uninstalled. it.
We installed the update, with no problems.
We rebooted, into Download mode, and flashed Kernel *NCG* .
We copied Towelrootv3 over and attempted to install it... (This is where the problem begins...)
We attempt to install TowelrootV3.apk. We get the popup that gives us the warning, along with the checkbox, we select the checkbox, which allows us to go ahead with the installation... the install begins but then suddenly says, "App not installed". (??????)
I have ensured that we are booted up under the NCG Kernel, and that we have selected:
Settings ->Security->Unknown Sources [ck'd]
Settings->Security->Verify Apps [Ck'd']
Developer Options->USB Debugging [not Ckk'd]
Developer Options->Allow Mock Locations [Chk'd]
No matter how many times that we try to install it, with different settings etc.... it fails with "App not installed!"
What could possibly be the reason that it refuses to install when we are using the *NCG* kernel?
I removed the NCG kernel and put the NK2 Kernel back in, and rebooted for the time being. It's working well, I just cannot get TowelrootV3 installed so that I can install SuperSU.
I've rooted another S5, using the very same procedure, and had absolutely no problems.
What am I doing wrong on this phone? It's driving me crazy, and I don' t have too far to go...:silly:
Thanks in Advance!
Please Help.

Check enable USB debugging and see if it works.

Well,
I found that if you do not copy the towelroot.apk to your internal memory, it will not allow you to install towelroot.
Instead of Downloading towelroot.apk from the website from the phone itself, I downloaded it onto my PC. Then connected my phone to my pc, and placed it into "Access Picture" mode so that you can upload and download pictures into the phone's internal memory. I used that mode to copy towelroot from my pc to the phone.
I used Odin3 to load up NGC Kernel.
Then I disconnected from my pc, rebooted the phone, and was able to install towelroot with no further warnings.
Once that was done, I was able to use Odin3 again to load back up the NK2 original Kernel. I then rebooted again,
and then I could "Make it Rain". After a nice summer rainstorm, I was able to install SuperSU from Google Playstore and install it.
I sure hope that when 5.0 comes to our Verizon Android S5 phones, it's equally as easy to get root access as it has been for 4.4.4. I would surely be hindered without it as my phone relies upon a lot of apps that require root access. Unless Verizon changes their ways, this will be the last Samsung Galaxy I will ever purchase, so that I can move over to a Nexus device.
Thanks to everyone who has stepped up and helped us keep our phones productive and rooted.
Cheers,
-Stone

Root breaks Snapchat login but once you're logged in, you can root and it will continue working. Unfortunately though, since you're already rooted, you can try to use something like RootCloak (no idea if that works with Snapchat) to hide the fact you're rooted or else unroot, login and then re-root.
@treela is correct.
I am on Nougat (NPJ25.93-14).
What I did - Rooted my phone using Magisk and enabled Magisk Hide.
Snapchat logs in even after rooting.

I'm confused what version of Xposed should I install? Arm, Arm64, or x86? I need Xposed before I get root cloak.
phh's superuser works fine with SnapChat. SuperSU does not in my experience.
Although, the foolproof way is to, on another device, install Snapchat, log in, THEN root, and install Titanium Backup and make a backup. After that, copy the files from your /storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup or whatever other directory (there should be a couple gzip files), and transfer those to an SDcard. On your new device, pop in the SD (or usb-otg), install Titanium Backup, transfer the files and then restore DATA ONLY. Just make a backup once and you shouldn't have to do it ever again.
I'm considering doing this https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...de-return-to-stock-relock-bootloader-t3489110 in order to get snapchat working again, but what's not clear is whether that process wipes the phone or not (I'm assuming it does).
I was going to try the "log into a second device then backup to first" process here https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/snapchat-rooted-phones-xposed-t3283198 but it looks like that doesn't work anymore?
There's also a post deleting a certain file https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/snapchat-rooted-devices-xposed-nougat-t3483001 but I get "operation failed" inside Root Browser whenever I try to rename, move, edit permissions for the file liboemcrypto.so
Current Android Version 6.0 and I followed the root process here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3200808 using the alternate SuperSU version.
The way I have always done it is just restore a backup with TB with data. I have had problems in the past, but another way would be to find a ROM with a root on/off switch (Like a CM base where you can enable/disable in dev options), unroot, log in to Snapchat, BACK UP TO TB (and save it in 9 places in case it gets corrupted somehow), and then root once again.
Going back to stock is pretty extreme for this issue honestly. You can work around it without going through that process. The reason the xposed process you linked isn't working is because of root, not JUST because of xposed. So those people would need to disable the xposed framework, then unroot, THEN log into Snapchat. They seem to be missing a step.

What would happen if I tried SuperSU's "full unroot" function? Agree going back to stock is pretty extreme, but I also noticed I don't have the latest update, and presumably at some point I'll need to update to Nougat. There aren't any apps that I use that require root anymore.
Easiest way to use snapchat and root. Login to snapchat before rooting. Root. Do not log out of snapchat. Or you can go the magisk way with magiskSu and use magisk hide.

I just read the install guide for magisksu, it looks super easy, I'll try this first. thank you
I am trying to login to Snapchat but it keeps saying there's an error with the login and I found out it is because I am rooted. A fix I found involves full unroot and I don't want to do that. Can anyone help me?
Snapchat
Ive used snapchat rooted. On mutiple roms.
Snapchat for some devices (like the v20 now) is checking for root. It's hit or miss really. On my VS995 Snapchat wouldn't work till I did suhide. So you'll have to most likely use Magisk or SU-Hide or some kind of root hiding thing to get past it.
Just install Snapchat on a other device, log in, make a backup with Titanium Backup and load it on your main device.
This worked for my rooted S5 KLTE

magisk hide is option 1
rootswitch is option 2
full unroot, sign in, then re-flash the supersu zip to re root is option 3
restore a app+data backup from a logged in device using backup app like titanium is option 4..

Personally i feel option 2 is easiest but not all kernels like it.
I wish these things could be put in to roms so when we flash them, there's no alternate flashing needed that could cause issues.. I had nothing but issues tryna get both of those options to work, but again it was probably kernel related so I just gave up on it..

Actually, the Stock deOdexed US996 ROM has them built into it, also allows for hotspot provisioning without having to edit anything. I've been running it for a few months now, and been flawless on every aspect, other than it disables the ability to use MyVerizon apps, and Verizon's visual voicemail.
