So I'm running CM 7.1 stable with Matr1x 8.0 cfs and I went to turn on my tethering yesterday and I got a toast notification saying I was unable to start tethering due to an inability to gain root access. As of a few minutes ago, I am unable to gain root access with titanium backup, wireless tether, or the terminal emulator.
Has anyone ever seen something like this, or know what may be wrong?
Thanks in advance

I tried updating from within SU and the prompt showed up, I accepted, and I got a toast saying that Superuser had been granted SU permissions. Then the update failed from lack of root privileges. Titanium Backup and the terminal are still not able to gain access

I already tried that. No dice.
I installed a new rom TrickDroid, and after flashing, and successfully booting up, I could not access certain things that require a rooted phone; so I ran root checker again, and it said I had NO ROOT ACCESS.
I restored my phone to the previous ROM, and all was ok..... wth? I think I had this happen to me when I installed SlimRom, but I was able to find a "Root Access" option in "Developer Options" that allowed me to tick on, root for adb and apps.
I know I'm missing it, and its right in front of me.
Just make a flashable zip of the super user app and binaries and flash it :thumbup:

Sorry, but how do I "make"a superuser zip and binaries? I flashed the same supersu zip that I used during the root process, not sure what you mean regarding binaries. Sorry if this question appears newbish, well I guess I am

I have SSHDroid Pro installed, as i did on my previous GNex & Note 2, except i can't get root access via my SSH program (WinSCP).
In the options screen, the "Enable Root" tick box is greyed out, and so unable to be ticked.
Unlocked bootloader, TWRP & SuperSU done.
Is there a simple answer to this or is it an app problem?
*bump*
Is anybody else using this on their Nexus 5?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
OK, now a new problem has appeared and the old problem has changed.
The app has been updated and according to the play store desription, it has "fixed an issue with root permissions".
The original problem of the box being greyed out is now fixed, and i can tick the root box.
But i am still getting an error when trying to edit/add anything in a root folder.
Is there anybody that can test whether this is an app problem or just a problem on my device?

It works fine for me. I can copy the file to /, rename it, edit it and delete it.
I am stock, rooted and running dalvik.
I have downloaded "de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v25_3_6cbbc.apk" and "de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v25_3_6cbbc-1.apk"
I get the same problem with either. The package installs but will not go active. I can get into the app but there is a red warning that the latest version is not active. Click on the Framework button and try the install/update button. The app stops responding and I get a wait or close pop-up. Same when I try the "soft reboot" and the "reboot" button. I have powered off after the install to no affect. It shows two items under Versions "app_process" with a red dash under the active column and a 47 under the bundled column and "XposedBridge.jar" with a 42 under the active and bundled columns.
Are there any other compatibility issues other than ART that I am not aware of? Anything else I should be checking on?
thx
Sounds like it is denied root access.
Check your superuser application to make sure it's not blocked

You have to go into the framework and install it, then reboot

Thx, I updated the supersu version and that solved the problem.
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.

Champ1919,
I did what you suggested and was able to download TWRP from Andi's. I unzipped the file with the ES File Explorer. Nothing happened. Could you tell me what I should do next. Thanks again.

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

There was no CM logo, but went to settings and USB and you were right. Now I can view the files of my tablet on my PC. Thanks a lot.
Smart-T "if you want install or upgrade twrp, dont extract the zip. boot into recovery and install it with your current recovery. "
I did the recovery boot, and it shows CWM v. 6.0.1.0. It also shows install zip from sd card. However, I have multiple zips on my sd card. How can I be sure that it is installing the right zip? Will it automatically grab the right zip file.?

It won't automatically get the zip file because you select the zip you flash. Just navigate to whet you put the zip and flash that

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.

If you installed CM13, is actually pre rooted. Just enable it from the developer settings

Finally figured out that I could transfer SuperSu zip file to my Tab and then install it from TWRP. Did so and also wiped clean the cache and now SuperSu is functional and I can get rid of the bloatware and speed up the Tab. Thanks for everyone's help.
