After updating the phone using Ota update ..I lost my root access and also my recovery has been change to op5 default so how to switch back to recovery root or Do I have to flash it through computer?
Yes, flash TWRP using your computer and from TWRP flash root zip.

Yes, as mentioned above, and you also need to flash root right after taking an OTA (before leaving TWRP) and that won't happen in the future

hello guys,
I had 4.4.1 rom+kernel stock, rooted and custom recovery, after the OTA to 4.4.2 lost my root and recovery.
tried re-root with wug's but it gets stuck on "pushing root file to you device".
got superSU application but cant remove it because its system application.
Is there a way to root it?
thanks.
Same here except i had cwm touch latest. It seems i have lost my recovery too. If i try and boot into the recovery menu i get the open hood android with a red triangle.
No custom kernel only custom recovery.

I lost my custom recovery too. But I just reflashed it (adb reboot bootloader, then flashed a downloaded custom recovery via fastboot), and then reflashed SuperSU as well.

I'm having the same problem. Root undone, and recovery went back to stock. Custom recovery doesn't stick after reboot.

I was in the same situation after my OTA of 4.4.2
I had nexus root toolkit, tried to put in twrp with it failed.
Then updated to the latest nrt and then I could flash the latest twrp, havent tried cwm.
and eventually got the root back using nrt

Found the solution to my problem. Used CF Auto Root instead of manually flashing SuperSU again. Cheers guys!

Same thing happened to me. just use fastboot to flash CWM, then before you reboot go into the recovery. then next time you reboot it will still be there. For some reason if I flash the recovery then reboot without entering recovery it will loose the recovery.
Once you have the recovery back, just flash the SuperSU binary through CWM.
Also, IMHO, dont use toolkits... you dont really know whats going on when you use those. Learn to use ADB & fastboot. They are really simple to use and you will be better able to help yourself when you have problems in the future.
Hello, just flashed omni and its really great, I found out that my device is not Rooted, (it was but after the format probably canceled(?))
Anyway, is it normal? And there is anyway to root without a PC and will it mess the system?
Thanks!

Flash the update supersu zip in linked in its thread.
I think its a bug in omnirom. Happened to me as well when i updated omnirom. You will just have to root it again.

Same here. That's why I keep the supersu zip file on my tablet
You can always enable Backup (or Survival mode) in Super SU, so you never lose root, even after a ful system wipe. That way, you'll always see the message below once you reboot from recovery after wipe:
Code:
Root access may be lost. Fix root? (Y/N)
You can also simply put flashable SuperSU package (the one you flash via recovery) into "Flash After Update" folder.
Then it will auto flash each time you update rom. You can also put there other zips like custom kernel.
It is a very useful OmniRom function
When you open SuperSu for the first time (once you have installed it), it asks you to install a script to survive over the flashes. There's nothing else needed. You'll be rooted always, even if you flash any update. At least that works for me..:silly:
Greetings!
Hi, recently I updated my rooted nexus 4 to 4.4.4 jellybean, which then unrooted it. I still have SuperSU installed, but once I try to run any root apps, it says I am not rooted. Looking around, I need to reroot the device, but my custom recovery TWRP has been uninstalled. I tried to install twrp with GooManager but it wouldn't download. The best option seems to be to reroot the device, but I cannot make a nan droid backup as no recovery installed. I have one but its fairly old, and I will lose a lot of data. What I need is a way to install custom recovery but I'm not rooted :/
You know this is the nexus 10 forum right?
What you need to do is flash a recovery via fastboot and then reroot.

Is it possible to root without using TWRP? I know that it used to be, but I've been using phones with locked bootloaders for a while now and I'm not sure if Google patched it. The reason why is because I lost root while upgrading to dp5 and I don't want to have to go through the process of loading all of my stuff back on after I have to delete everything from decryption.

I haven't tried it as yet but on DP4 and an unlocked bootloader , I installed SuperSU using cf auto root . After that I installed FlashFire to flash my fav kernel . This way you are encrypted with stock recovery and able to take OTAs and flash them using FlashFire

After being stock on 10.0.19 forever, I finally decided to use the msm tool and update to 10.0.31 but I was wondering where I can find the stock boot image so that I can patch with magisk and root again.
I tried rooting using the magisk_patched from the 10.0.25 reserve restore tool but I lost access to wifi.

Just extract it via adb using either the patched stock recovery or TWRP. Very simple and quick to do.
