I'm currently using the 4.4.2 Gummy Rom and I somehow lost my root but I still have my TWRP recovery. I was going to go back to stock unrooted and use the Casual toolkit to get back to where I was, but my flash count is tipped.
I feel like I'm in a loop because I can't root on 4.4 and because I lost my root I can't use Triangle Away to fix my flash count, but I feel like I'm missing something. Is there anyway I can get my root back to use Triangle Away?
Thanks, any help is appreciated.

Have to use twrp to flash SuperSU 1.86zip (latest version)?
Tap build number about ten times to enable Developer Options, go into Developer Options, and set root access to "Apps and ADB."

And I thought I couldn't flash SuperSU v1.89 if I didn't have root?

You don't need root to flash SuperSu in twrp, that's how you originally obtained root.

Thank you for your help, but according to the SuperSu thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053), the second line stats how I need root access for this.

Just install SuperSu from the play store and update the binary. Its not that you lost root, its just gummy does not come with a superuser app installed. I had this same problem too.

When I do that, it keeps saying that installation failed and to try reboot.
Also, what you are saying is that technically I can move to another rom and I will have root?

yes, if you flash a pre-rooted rom you would have root.

I know if I update i'll lose my root but what i'm not sure of is whether I'll lose my apps and game progress/saves etc.
Does anyone know?
Thanks
You won't lose any data or game progresses.

Really? When I updated from 2.3.2 to 2.3.4 I lost root so I assumed this would occur again (for the OTA update).

You lost root. You need to flash superuser again.

How did you rooted again? Just flash the su.zip?
Hey guys I have a question.
I received my ota update today. It says that it's downloaded and ready to install on reboot. However I want to save the update prior to this. Where is it located on the phone? Reason being that I have a custom kernel installed and I want to 1) revert to my stock 2.3.4 nand backup 2) install 2.3.6 update 3) root again 4) make a stock 2.3.6 nand backup 5) install custom kernel again and see if it works
I already tried searching with astro on / for update,aosp, 2.3.6 but so far no hits..

Just flash the su from CWR
I got it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17033340&postcount=819
Version 3 in the market is not stable according to some user
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.

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.
I just got the 4.4.4 OTA update and appear to have lost root, i'm sure i can re root again when i get home.
However i'm wondering what people recommend in keeping root when taking an OTA update.
Thanks for any advice.

SuperSU has a "survival" mode you can check off. It basically tries to keep root after an update. Luckily its easy enough to re-root the One+.

You don't need a pc at all, you boot back into recovery after the update and flash your SuperSU zip.

I'm guessing you used a toolkit to unlock and root, right? If you haven't done it already, download SuperSU from here:
http://download.chainfire.eu/452/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip
Then you can flash it using the install menu in TWRP recovery.

Of course it works. Also guys TWRP will try and reroot your phone a well after a flash if it detects you lost root. Not for nothing but some of you need to do more reading before you street messing with your phones and leave them toolkits alone.

@playya alright mate got my one plus one now. unlocked bootloader installed twrp and flashed super su. disabled update cm recovery on update. then did update from 22r - 25r then did 25r - 30O and obviously 30O - 33r I didn't realise that the update cm recovery would not stick after each update. so ive now tried to reflash twrp but command line says writing recovery ok and finished but checked on phone and its not there? any ideas do I need to unlock bootloader again which I doubt. but not sure if flashing update would also relock?? cheers

If you have root and a custom recovery you shouldn't be taking an OTA in the first place.
I have downloaded the 33R OTA on my computer. I'm using TWRP. Can someone please give me steps to update? Thank you.
You put the zip onto your phone and then boot into TWRP and then flash it.
Or you can go boot into TWRP and adb sideload it.
The dragging zip onto the phone is probably easier for you.
Thank you!

Yes it did break root. At the end of the flash, you will be prompted to install SuperSU again. When the phone reboots, go back to your App Drawer and look for SuperSU installer. Press it and install. You regain root.
Does anyone know if it is safe to use franco.kernel r14 after update to 33R? Thanks

You might have a system app removed or missing
Or maybe you have done something with the build prop as well if thats messed with that will also throw an error out.
