Lost root after installing latest MIUI

I obtained root via Odin as superoneclick didn't work. Then i flashed the latest version on MIUI and I lost root access. A couple of forums said superuser needs to be enabled in the settings. However when I opened superuser and looked under preferences there was no toggle to enable it.

Download rom manager. Go to download rom in rom mannager. Select superuser. Download superuser 2.3.6.3 efg. Install through cwm by reboot into recovery and select install zip from sd card. You dont need to wipe anything just install zip from sd card. To find it in cmw its under clockworkmod, then download, then downloads.androidsu.com, then superuser, then the zip. Reboot and you will have root. I had this problem also this worked for me.
Click thanks if this helped you.

Use GTGs ultimate unbricker and revert to stock with superuser rights and 3e recovery
Or...
Just try to use superoneclick

Yes that's what I was referring to. It supports the os not the rom. So its for the version of android not the rom you are using. I followed these steps and it worked flawlessly for me. I just checked in rom manager its in there. Make sure that you installed rom manager properly. I found these instructions in the miui thread in the android dev section.

I can confirm that this is working. There is no toggle though. Just open your programs that require root again and it will ask you whether to allow or deny root access.

Worked for me. FINALLY got Superuser access again. Thrilled
Thanks going to you!

[Q] [HELP!] Why I can't take a screenshot with my sensation?

I have Android Revolution HD Rom and my android version is 2.3.4
When I press Power + Home key, why I can't take a screeshot?

2 posts and your member name...
Tell ya what, you didn't search but head to google and search "edit sensation build prop screenshot" and the first result has your answer.

The screen capture is disabled by default, on that Rom. Go to your build.prop and were it says
" screen capture= false"
Change it to say true, reboot wipe cache and it should be working

Hi,
You will find the answer in the FAQ section on the first page of that ROM.
I think its about number 25.

I have Android 2.3.5 and the setting is by default false. It requires root to change it. Is there any way to take screen shot without rooting?

Yes, On market go get the app dropcap2.
it is a free screenshot app. Very simple. Hit start and shake the phone.

I looked it up and its drocap2, but Android market says it does require root.

I found out my phone already has a custom ROM (InsertCoin). So I tried Astro File Manager to edit the build.prop where it says "screen capture=false" to switch it to true. I used Astro File Manager, as suggested here
http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/how-to-edit-build-prop
That article says that Astro File Manager has Root Capability, and my device should already be rooted due to the Custom ROM, right?
But I find the Save button disabled and cannot write out the file. Why?
Is it possible or likely to have InsertCoin and NOT be rooted? How do I tell if I am rooted?
Thanks.
(I tried drocap2 and the pictures all have the popup message "drocap2 has been granted Superuser permissions". How do I get rid of that message?)

Your rooted if running IC, Astro isnt your best bet I use root explorer or something similar. You also want to make sure that you set r/w privileges so you cant actually save the file after editing then be sure to set back to r/o after.

Screencapture = fubar (Help?)
Alright, this is just bizarre. I just flashed Android Revolution XE 6.6.4 on my Sensation, with the feux kernel. Right after flashing, the screenshot function (power + home) worked fine. Now it does not work at all, even though the build.prop has the value "true" for screen capture. I had the same thing happen to me with ARHD 2.2.1 for the Amaze. Is there some app I'm using that would screw with the build.prop? The only sort of weird app I run is gscript; I use it to run scripts to turn the leds and backlight on and off.
To address your suggestions before you suggest them: I've changed the value to both "true" and "false," saved, wiped dalvik, rebooted. Nada.
I've tried the stock ICS method (power + vol down) with the build.prop value as both true and false. Nada.
I've heard people mention that the Sweep2Wake function will take a screenshot if you swipe the softkeys right to left. That simply locks my screen.
Anybody experienced an app that messes with the build.prop file? Or some similar problem?

[Q] Lost root access?

Hi guys android newbie here! My friend rooted my Nexus 5 and it was working fine for a couple of weeks. Yesterday I tried to open SuperSU and it didn't work! Other apps that required root didn't work either.
I have been looking around and it seems OTA updates may have screwed up my root. Every time I try to open SuperSU it says: "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!" If you just upgraded to Android 4.3 (I have 4.4), you need to manual re-root. Consult the relevant forums for your device!" I have used root checker by joeykrim and it says "Sorry! this device does not have proper root access" (to confirm my root is busted).
My question is, is there any way to fix this without re-rooting? If I have to re-root, can I just directly re-root it again using something like Wugs rootkit?
Thank you very much in advance!

Just flash the newest version of supersu and you'll be good to go..... http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip

Hmmm... from the link I posted in one of my last post, you can just use a useful app called "flashify" and flash it that way (the easiest way) but you need that file that is in the link obviously to do so haha. So afterwards when in flashify you'll get 3 simple options, boot image, recovery image, and zip file. choose zip file, go into your downloads folder from the file explorer from the app (which it should be there if you downloaded it off your phone) and let the app do the rest

Ok so I can't open flashify either. It also says I have lost root access and my superuser is busted. I have attached a screenshot!
http://i42.tinypic.com/2mgw0v6.png

Of course, you don't have root access, silly me lol Well guess we'll have to do it the hard way (it's not really that complicated) ok read carefully. Power off your phone, afterward hold the power and volume down buttons which should get you into the bootloader, cycle trough the options with the volume buttons and when you see recovery mode select it with the power button, now depending on which Recovery you have you'll have to choose the option that says install or install from sd card, again, depending on which one you have this will be slightly different. After doing i believe the paths will be the same, chose 0/ then look for the download/ folder which you should have that supersu.zip file, if you're using twrp recover it should be touch screen and you simply select it and swipe to install, if you're using cwm (which i do) you'' have to scroll with the volume buttons and select the file with the power button to install. I hope I was as clear as i could be, good luck

after going into recovery mode, there is just a android robot with his chest open and an exclamation mark! can't proceed after that.

Ouhhh you don't have a recovery then, do you have adb or any kind of toolkit?

I have wugs toolkit. but every time i try to do anything at all on it. It says ADB device not found? That seems to be preventing me from doing anything as well.

Do you have the adb drivers installed or/and usb debug turned on in developer settings?

how/where do i install adb drivers? I have not done so, and i doubt my friend did it when he rooted.
I do turn on usb debugging when i tried to unroot/root on wugs toolkit

In wugs toolkit it has a walk-through on how to do so, i suggest you use the RAW drivers option

I must be blind to not have seen this before. Thank you very much for your help I'll let you know how it goes!

Problems with installation of Marshmallow on a Tab 2 5113 with 4.1.1

I hired someone not super familiar with flashing a custom rom, but who knew more than me. We got MM installed but I am having some problems. First, the only reason, I updated the rom was to get mirroring. However: 1. there is no mirroring, but there is cast. I have a Tab 4 and mirroring works perfectly with it and KitKat. I tried about 5 mirroring apps from the Play Store and they all require that the Smart TVs I have (Samsung and LG) be connected to the Internet because using the TV's internet connection is a major nuisance for me. That is not required with my KK Mirroring, and I am wondering whether I should get rid of MM and flash KK. Or, is there an app that will work without mirroring. 2. My SD card is now invisible. When I link my Tab to my windows 7 computer, my SD card doesn't show. (Additionally, come to think of it, none of my files show. All I get is an image of 5100, but when I click on it nothing shows on my windows 7 computer.) 3. Probably related to No. 2 -- Some apps seem to install, but I have no way to access them because no shortcut is placed on the screen and I have no tree of files. (Titanium Backup for instance, can't be accessed. However, when I downloaded ai-keyboard, it mostly worked)
Hate to ask so many questions, but this is what I now have. Would call the person who did the flash, but his wife is due any day, and for all I know, gave birth yesterday.

which M Rom did you installed? kindly mention Rom and recovery build number as well.
are you using any other home launcher than the default? how did you installed titanium backup? normal or copy pasted apk to the system partition?
have you checked the luncher setting? for instance I can hide some apps from the nova launcher but can find it with it's search bar.
check with the default launcher or any other.
did you unlocked the tab while it was connected to your pc? did you changed the mode to MTP?
I haven't tested screen mirroring with this device. although I checked briefly with a Samsung S, S4 and a G3 on a LG smart tv with webOS 3 using LG TV plus app, I had to be on a same network with wifi hotspot enabled from my device (didn't required a working internet) and selecting LG tv plus option from the TV.
I still haven't been used to with screen mirroring and cast. so others can help.

Hi Billys,
Thanks a lot for your response. My Internet has been down for about 2.5 days and that is the reason I am late responding to you. The CM version was 13.0.20160222-2140-UNOFFICIAL -P5110. The CM Recovery Version was GT-P5113 CM Recovery 6.0.1.0.tar.
The Launcher is the default that comes with MM. I installed Titanium Backup through the Google Play Store. I have been fooling around with the device and Root checker basic says that root access is not properly installed, which might explain why Titanium Backup is not working. Also, SuperSu won't open.
You asked me: "did you unlocked the tab while it was connected to your pc? did you changed the mode to MTP?" Don't understand the questions, particularly the second one. If you could be more explicit maybe I could answer the question. Thanks again for your help.

when you connect the tab to PC, there is a logo of CM in the status bar, drag the notification menu, and tap the CM menu, there, check If MTP is enabled or it's set on charging only mode. you can also set this in setting-developer. make sure the keypad is not locked as well

install the latest twrp by using cwm. after install reboot back into recovery. you shuold see the graphical differences between twrp and cwm.

To make a long story short, it appears that my Superuser is misbehaving. Used root checker to analyze and it found that Superuser was installed and that SU Binary files were installed. However, it found a Root User Account Error. (Error: stderr: null, stdout: null, exit..value: 1) It suggested that I reinstall Superuser app from TWRP. .
After much experimentation, I can get into TWRP when I reboot in the recovery mode. (not when I hit the icon on home page -- tells me I need root access) When I hit install, I see CWM 13, An android 4.4 (omni-4-4-4-20160305-1323 expresso-HOMEMADE.zip) and a gapp 6 --- a long time ago when I downloaded 4.4, I didn't know how to get to the corresponding gapp, so I didn't do so. Also, SuperUser doesn't show up at this place, so I don't know how to reinstall it.
Can anyone tell me how to reinstall Superuser and get full SuperUser access?
Also, I am thinking of going back to Android 4.4 to get mirroring. Can someone point me to the gapp file for that. Additionally, when I possibly would be installing 4.4, would I first install 4.4 and then reboot and install gapps. Or should 4.4 and gapps be installed at the same time?
Thanks for everyone's help. Sorry to ask so many questions. However, have gone to youtube and web many times and still am confused about what is going on.

Dude here root folder means not the root permission. It means move the zip file from downloads and paste it in the internal storage. Don't add the zip file to any folder.
