So I used the Casual one-click tool to root my Verizon S3. TWRP installed correctly but I have no SuperSU. I tried installing it from the app store but it crashes whenever I try to get root access. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Odin back to stock and try the casual tool again. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332825 but don't do the 1 click option. Root your phone, reboot and see if the installed superuser app is working (you'll be able to install the binaries if you're rooted). And then unlock your bootloader and flash recovery. The first post has the correct instructions.

Thanks a lot. Ended up doing this before seeing this post and now everything is running smoothly. Just figured I'd check back to mark this thread as solved.

Are you rooted stock or did you flash a Rom? You could have root if you flash The Hammerhead Rom. Otherwise you must make sure you have Superuser and proper su binaries as well as the proper busybox version installed.
There's a free app called Root Check that can tell you if you have those files installed and if not, you can dl them.
I had rooted my xoom at 1st using the 1 click method which soft bricked.So I had to unlock it thru fastboot & I reflashed my xoom with the original image it came with then after rebooting I got the notifications of upgrades & I downloaded them & it brought me back to 3.2 then I followed the guide I posted above.Of course I skipped the unlock process because I left my xoom unlocked when I flashed the original stock image to it.Should I redo the root & just follow all of the steps.Maybe do a factory reset & start over?

That is a good guide, and if you follow the steps again that should ensure that you have the files you need. You don't have to wipe anything, because according to what you are saying, you booted correctly into HC3.2 but the only issue is that you are missing one or all of Superuser, su binaries, and/or busybox. Or you could just flash the Hammerhead Rom which will give you the correct files. Have you flashed the CWM recovery v3.2.0.0 R4c? If you have that installed, you can flash Hammerhead Rom. You will need a micro sdcard in your Xoom, for that. (Don't ever try to flash the Rom zip file thru ADB, though...or you will be in big trouble.)
If the superuser icon is in your app tray launch it once. If not you messed up. That quide is spot on as mentioned.
All i have in my Superuser & binary .rar is a su file & a superuser apk.
Did i get i bad download on that because i no binary? And also i never knew i had to have busybox on my computer too for the root.It didn't say it in that guide but where do i get the proper version of that?
Not talking on your computer. Is superuser icon in your system tray on the xoom?
Yea i downloaded it from the market
I just put clockwork on my xoom too..
Update:i got rooted & just installed Hammerhead on it !!!! Thanks buddies !!
You don't download it from the market....
If you followed the guide properly you would already have superuser in your app drawer as a system app....
yep it's in there now..thank you for chiming in albundy2010...you're quite the character

Whew! Well, you finally did it! Take this opportunity to do a backup of your new system with CWM in the recovery menu so that if you get things messed up you can boot into recovery and restore from your backup.
Since you are adventurous and persistent, do yourself a favor and really learn some of the tricks people have posted about how to recover from soft bricks and things not to do. You will have more fun with your Xoom if you feel confidence about being able to recover from problems.
I've been having issues with all new root apps being auto-denied (namely goomanager) by superuser. I tried factory reset but unfortunately it kept root. SuperSU said I needed to update binary, but I have no idea how to do that, so I thought unrooting and re-rooting would be easier. Any advice?

Just follow the the instructions superuser gives to update the binary. That is what is causing your half root issues.

Alright, I rerooted with motochopper and updated using supersu, but goomanager still get "No recoveries were found for your device", even after I verified it had root access. Do I have to do the complicated method, or is there something else I can try?

Somehow GooManager doesn't seem to work on our tablets - don't know why but I read the same scenario more than twice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524661
Use the fastboot method to install TWRP or the "MinimalADB fastboot Tool"
Yes goo manager has stopped support for installing twrp. I suspect too many people bricked as it can flash the wrong one. Only method now is fast boot from PC which is the best method.
Hello everybody.
First of all, I'm not sure whether this is the place to post this kind of questions. My apologies in advance. Here is my problem.
I rooted my nexus 5 nearly after a month of having bought it using the nexus root toolkit. Today I received the 4.4.3 OTA, and somewhere I read that it would fail most likely. I also read read that I should set survival mode in SuperSU (a pro option) in order to retain root access, which I couldn't. I tried to update via the OTA thinking it would fail, and it worked, only that I lost my root access.
Is there an easy way to regain root access? I don't want to wipe and re-install everything. There are only a few apps I use that need root access, however it would be nice to have them back, nevertheless.
Thanks in advance.
PS: Now I am able to record video hassle-free, no more static noise in the background :victory:

So dump SuperSU zip on the phone (link in sig), and flash it with recovery.

Thanks for your reply. I have already SuperSU on my phone, but when I press it it says there are some binaries missing. Busybox doesn't update the binaries since it has no root access and says the device might be improperly rooted. My recovery is TWRP, so I can actully flash root files or such.
Edit: I just tried to boot into recovery and it didn't work quite well. There is a fallen android guy with a red triangle. So I don't have recovery either it seems.

Thanks for the help. I'll try that as soon as I can.
Can someone please help me in the process of unrooting and removing cmw recovery mod. I know from previous experience i can remove root, using supersu and click full unroot. Problem i am mainly having is what do I do to remove the CMW recovery mod. I have downloaded the factory image of the shield tablet, i just dont know how to go about it. Im very tech savy but im fairly new to android rooting.

Extract all files from Nvidia's "recovery" file. Then copy the stock recovery.img. Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Stock recovery.img attached. Fastboot flash.
How did you unroot?
I know that some Samsung devices, like the Note 8, require a full Odin of the stock ROM as unroot with SuperUser won't do anything.

SuperSU has a full unroot option. Works on Shield tab.

Thanks for the confirmation.
FYI, when I had my Note 8.0, doing the full unroot via SuperSU did not remove all the necessary file. Update no longer received, so I had to Odin the stock ROM.

FWIW: I flashed the stock recovery, then used SuperSU "unroot", and was able to successfully install the 1.1 OTA. I can't confirm that SuperSu unroot removes every trace of root, but it's good enough to accept OTA updates.

Thanks that is really good to know!
I just did a reset on my phone, install SuperSU, encrypt the tablet, reboot and checked if root is still there (it is).
Now I am trying to unroot by selecting "Full Unroot" in SuperSU, but I got stuck in the "Uninstalling, please wait..." message.
Is this normal?
EDIT: I had to uninstall SuperSU, reinstall from Google Play, update the binary, reboot and then the Full Unroot works. I think it does, because I use "root checker" and it said no root.
I forgot to do the process to keep root and TWRP after OTA on Resurrection. I tried to follow the directions to get it back with the all in one tool but I'm having no luck.
Is there a way to do this without a computer?
Yes, you can try download twrp on play store. It was able to install twrp for me, but not sure if you won't get the unable to mount error. If you don't just flash magisk on twrp. Don't remember all the details but I remember twrp installed without computer

Without root. The answer is no. You will need a computer to reroot.
