what version of twrp and what superSU release are you currently running?

make sure you're on the latest cwm (6.0.4.5) and superSU (1.86).

Hi
I'm having the same issue.
Stock 4.4.2 boot loader unlocked and rooted following this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507905
Installed superSU v1.86 and ClockworkMod v6.0.45
When ever I select reboot from CWM I get
'Root access possibly lost. Fix?
THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE'
When I tried yes fix root I had to reflash the phone.
Any idea how to sort this ?
Thanks

You can turn it off with Philz recovery, which is cwm based

In philz recovery, there is an option to turn off "verify root on exit"

It can.

It's because you're using CWM and CWM is built on an older version of Android. I would recommend switching to TWRP.

How do you flash a recovery from within recovery ?
Also are CWM nandroid backups compatible with other recovery backups ?

You find the recovery packaged as a flashable zip and flash it via your current recovery, just as you would with any other zip. Then you reboot recovery.
CWM nandroids are compatible with Philz recovery, but not with TWRP.
Heres the zip: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/hammerhead

Which is the better way to go Philz or RWRP ?

Its subjective. I have my favourite. Other people have theirs.
Cwm can only restore cwm backups. Twrp can only restore twrp backups. Philz does both but being cwm based, takes cwm backups but because philz can also compress backups, it means cwm may not be able to restore philz backups.
Just try them all.

You don't. You flash partition images through the bootloader (fastboot).

No, they only work with CWM and TWRP backups only work with TWRP.

I don't know about PhilZ Touch, but IMHO, TWRP is better than CWM.

You need to flash a rom or a root zip.
There's a rooting / unlocking bootloader sticky thread in general

There are many options. Use this one and flash in odin. I assume you know what that is since you're rooted. You could also use twrp recovery but I think cwm is easier to use for someone newer to custom recovery
Can I use mobile Odin?

Not a big deal. The point is its the easiest one to get started. Once installed CWM will ask to update to a newer version that will support it. Install with odin.
Will my info be wipe if I install a recovery?

Pretty close to the same thing but Philz touch is gonna have more advanced options included that most dont use. Also going to have touch also which means instead of using the volume keys to navigate and power button to slect it is simply touch based.

Does twrp ver 2.7.0.0 work on a 4.4.3 rom ?

Does twrp ver 2.7.0.0 work on a 4.4.3 rom ?
Has anyone tried it?
is there any problem؟

It doesn't work on any Rom. It's completely independent.
Please read sticky threads to get background information on Android, recovery, bootloaders etc. The one at the top of this forum

As already said, It's independent.
But. I assume that you flash recovery using apps like Flashify or Goo im, right?

I flash via fastboot as well. I was trying to say that if he is concerned about compatibility is because he maybe uses goo im instead of fastboot method.
So, if he used fastboot instead of apps, he wouldn't have that confusion.

[Completed] [Q] Retore OTA after root

I'm trying to restore the ability to do OTA updates after I've rooted my device. I;ve tried unrooting but that doesn't solve the problem.
How does the OS check that you have rooted the device in the past? I don't have access to a stock rom (Yet) to check if a firmware flash might restore everything to normal.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist.
You need to be on stock ROM and stock recovery. Also preferably unrooted and without any system modifications like xposed and such. That's all you need to have to be able to get OTAs.

Thanks for the reply
I am on stock rom, I also think that i'm on a stock recovery, since I never flashed the recovery. I used Kingo root to root the device, dont know if that flashed a custom recovery. I'm also not aware of any modifications.

The question was actually answered in a previous thread, no?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/hisense-u800-infinity-h6-restore-ota-t3129478
Anyway, XDA Doesn't have a dedicated forum for that device, so either try and boot to recovery and see if it's stock or custom (custom probably is either CWM or TWRP or Philz), or try asking the same thing over at the Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.
Thank you.
