Hi guys,
A while back I rooted my sons Nexus 7. For some reason now it is unrooted and I can't get rid of SuperSU. It has the JellyBean 4.3 update on it. Will I be unable to remove SuperSU since the phone is unrooted now?
Thanks,
Rocky
Never mind I took care of the problem. I downloaded the Nexus Root Toolkit and flashed the stock image. Once it completed I locked the tablet. Maybe in the future I will reroot it again.
I wanted to update my Nexus 7 (2012) to 4.3. I was running stock rom, with the latest Trinity Kernel. I tried to flash the stock kernel so I could update to 4.3, but something went wrong and it bricked. I managed to use Wugfresh's ToolKit to undo root and bootloader unlock, and to install 4.3 . It went just fine.
But now I can't reroot. When I boot the Nexus, I still see the "unlocked" emblem at the bottom, which is weird. I installed the Samsung drivers, and it worked fine and tested fine, but as soon as a I tried to unlock it again, I suddenly lost all Fastboot access and I can't unlock or root.
Can anyone give me any advice?
[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 just got a new Nexus 7 (2013). I did all the OTA updates until I got on the latest 5.1.1 (LMY48G). I was able to unlock bootloader using Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit. I then tried rooting using the same tool but the process would freeze once it reached the step of temporarily booting TWRP. The window timed out while waiting for device. The tablet did boot to TWRP recovery. However, when I went to reboot to system from TWRP, I got a message saying No OS installed. I was able to reboot back to system despite the message.
At this point, I used Wug's tool to Flash Stock + Unroot. I then tried using CF- Auto Root which worked fine with me. I was now rooted but when flashing to recovery, I got the dead android. I tried downloading TWRP app from Google Store to updated recovery through that method. I did get TWRP flashed but again I still have the No OS Installed message when going to reboot. Finally, I used use Wug's tool to delete TWRP and go back to stock recovery (dead android). Then I tried flashing TWRP through Wug's tool but ended up with same result of getting No OS installed.
Any ideas why I would be getting this message when I am able to reboot back to perfectly working system? Has anyone else experienced a similar problem and been able to get TWRP working correctly?
I just updated to 6.0.1 (MMB29P on my nexus 6p and tried to root. I installed twrp via fastboot adb whatever and I get dead android guy. Twrp just will not install. I need to update for cm 13 so i stop getting internal error message at boot which drives me crazy. I do not want to downgrade so i can keep the January security updates but i might have to at this point.
