I installed OmniRom and there was no root access so I wiped everything and did a fresh install but there is still no su binary. I downloaded SuperSU to install it but it doesn't work. Normal method fails and the recovery method says it will reboot into recovery but it does nothing and even if I manually reboot into recovery it still doesn't install. I would appreciate any help

Did you look at post this in the omni rom thread? Anyone else having this issue? When you say you downloaded and installed supersu, how did you try to install it?
What version of SSU? You need at least 1.65. 1.69 i s the newest.

Are you trying to flash the zip in recovery or the apk? I always just flash the SSU zip in recovery after the ROM, Gapps and kernel I use.

Could be a bad download. Make sure signature check is off

Download cm10 again ans reflash it, cleanly. Wipe system/cache/dalvik. Then try and flash over gapps. But I'd do another wipe on cache/delvik before you flash it. Just trying to keep the flashing as clean as possible. It also might be a problem with the version of gapps you're using. Do you have the latest?

I used goomanager to install an active script recovery, this one worked. DONT USE FREAKING ROM MANAGER TO INSTALL A RECOVERY! That's about it

Very true,
There is a sticky about ROM Manager, while I have it on other devices I don't have it on my TF101. Just wish they would play nicely together.
So I have twrp and slim Kat 4.4 on my tab 2 and I tried installing xposed framework and it says I don't have root... then I downloaded root checker and it said the same. No idea how I lost root but what's the best way to get it back without starting all over?

So you've rooted that bad boy previously, right? If so, on Android Andi's Omni build you have to flash SuperSU after ROM and gapps. Maybe Slim is the same?

brother just flash super su zip file from recovery and everything will be fine
If you want to make root permanent then open titanium backup hold super su and select " convert to system app ". By this you will not loose root again until you flash a new rom. Factory reset your phone and see still you have root

I flashed elix rom to experiment one day this week out of boredom, was just seeing what else is out there - was on slimkat and before cyanogenmon -
Then I wanted to go back to cyanogenmod but when I tried to flash, somehow unknown to me my bootloader seemed to have rolled back....typically I had deleted the zip containing the bootloader about three days previous.
ANYWAY - I just found it again and if anyone else should need it, here is the link to the forum that has the bootloader in it

Hi everyone , i was wondering if any of you guys found a good way to root the latest version version , i tried to manually root via recovery but nothing , please let me know if any of you guys sucessfully did , thanks in addvance .
Yes, pretty much everybody, I'd guess. What method did you use? SuperSU? Doitright?
Best to think of all the answers you want and supply the info up front - you save everybody a lot of time, not least yourself.
I used SuperSU , 3 or 4 different versions 3 betas and 1 not beta then bootloop after every SuperSU installation .. Then I flashed the boot partition again and I removed the bootloop but the root was not there ..

You flashed the images by recovery or adb?
