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.

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.
So Weaksauce won't do anything since it says I'm already rooted... Rootchecker and SuperSU say I am NOT rooted. Not sure where to go from here since SuperSU doesn't seem to have access to install new binaries..
I was on CleanROM and had an issue with something so I tried to reinstall it, but installed a Sense rom over it by accident and realized root was messed up. Did "Wipe For New ROM" or whatever the option in TWRP is, installed CleanROM which is pre-rooted, then ran into this seemingly uncorrectable root issue.

Never heard of RUU before but this sound like a solid fix. Will attempt this right now. Here is where I'm at though if you've got any other ideas:
S-Off (bootloader says UNLOCKED in fastboot)
I wiped /system, /data /cache and dalvik before installing a GPE ROM.
Weaksauce says already rooted, SuperSU says it can't update binaries.
Read this thread and follow the instructions. This will get your phone completely back to stock except that it will be pre-rooted. You should know what to do from there.

Thanks, that's the thread I found too. Attempted to get adb/fastboot working on my computer here at work but I'm tired of driver after driver. I know my MBP at home has a properly working adb/fastboot folder and boy is using Terminal better than CMD
The only question I have is what file(s) do I push? They have a tiny <10MB stickerfix.zip at the top of the post, but I feel like I should probably do the full RUU at the bottom, followed by the TWRP ruu/zip?|
Edit: NVM, I should read better. stickersfix is the last thing to flash to make sure any needed HTC stuff is put on the device.
Just updated my Nexus 5 using the OTA thread that went through fine,
I then proceeded to update SuperSU using the following link: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu which was the update v1.99r3.
Using TWRP I flashed this and root is working for most apps i have tested: titanium, adblock, root explorer. So root is back.
However whenever I load up SuperSU I keep getting the following message: "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?"
So of course I have done this and let it use TWRP to flash. Let the phone boot up and upgrade the app as it needed. However on next load up of the app it asks to do the same yet again.
I feel as though I'm forgetting something as it's been a while since I've done this. ( use to live on flashing when i had my SII)
My Nexus is Stock ROM. CF-Auto Rooted. TWRP Recovery. Nothing else is modified.
Help would be appreciated, even though I don't go into supersu all that often anyways.
Cheers all.
What if you upgrade it using the "normal" method?
If I do a normal install i get the following:
Installation failed!
Please reboot and try again.

That message is usually indicative of not having root in the first place. What if you flash it via TWRP then do it normally? Could TWRP be removing it with its "Fix root" option?
What about other recoveries? Do they allow root to stay?

How odd like I said my apps are all receiving their root permissions...
What file would we be talking about flashing? The Temp one SuperSU makes to flash when you click install via TWPR?
I don't have any other recoveries on my phone, so I wouldn't know about that last option.

Are they though? SuperSU grants permissions but if the binary is not present, its irrelevant. Can you actually do root things with the root apps that have the permissions?
Have you tried other binary download?

In SuperSU, do the TWRP flash install of the binary and reboot, then try the "normal" install immediately after

Theres a link in my signature to Philz recovery. In the settings is a root option, so the recovery itself can root without flashing any zips. Maybe try that if downloading an older flashable zip or the above hasnt worked.

It does seem that way Titanium has backed up an app just now, adblock has updated and Nova is hiding the time on the first screen.

Good news. The latest version of Philz, s it is CWM based - uses the latest Cyanogen sources to build. I update the CM sources everytime I build Philz so hopefully there should be fewer issues when new stuff comes out.
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:

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.

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.
