[Completed] how to root an android device after flashing a custom ROM? - XDA Assist

i know my question sounds weird, actually all i did was root my mobile then installed custom recovery on it and then installed custom rom (that was Xperia HD) then i wanted to go to a new custom ROM (that was LG G3), i installed helium to backup my apps data, after i flashed and rebooted my mobile, i installed helium to restore but i did not asked for any SU permissions and switched on unrooted method, btw superuser was already installed but it wasn't giving me superuser permissions on any app, i kinda worried and downloaded root checker and guess what it said, "your device has not root access" :/ then i tried to root my mobile again but the real question is that now which root setup should i look up to download to root? i mean for the older stock rom i had or for lg g3? FYI, LG G3 ROM is running perfect.

Sir,
For wich device you want to point? Xperia or LG?
Thanks

is it possible to lose root access?

Hi, i flashed stock rom to OpenOptimus and now superuser and other root apps are crashing. Before titanium backup and other stuff worked. How is it possible to lost root access? iam using P500
Of course, the stock rom isn't rooted.
Root access is per ROM.
Going back to a not rooted rom, you lost superuser access and thus all apps requiring it crash.
But you don't have to root your phone completely new. Just flash a rooted ROM and everything would work again ;-)

[Q] Flashed to 4.0.3

i flashed to leak 4.0.3 now i can use titanium back up to restore apps do i have to root my phone again.....
Hello
if the rom wasnt prerooted, you should root it again
Once you root phone, phone will stay rooted In titanium backup you just need to allow super user permision.
root or not, it's depend on your needs. if you want to install aplications that only work in rooted phone, you have to root it, but if you don't...., you don't have to root it.....

[Q] Rooting a custom ROM

Hi!
Been using ROMs and root for a while on my S3, but since I lost it Im back to an old htc wildfire s. Ive installed a custom ROM(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735775&nocache=1), but it is unrooted. Standard rooting methods do not seem to work, how would one go about rooting a custom ROM?
Hola, if you have a custom rom installed, i guess you have unlocked it. Maybe you dont have superuser installed, i guess?
What root method did you use?
And you can try to flash the superuser binary (http://androidsu.com/superuser/)
Hope it will it, reply back if you need more help
Thanks, flashing superuser worked

[Q] Restore without downloading stock firmware?

I have Indian moto g 16 GB Android 4.4.4 I have a few questions
1. I just want to root it without any custom recovery or rom. Only to try apps which require root. I am not interested in custom roms, happy with stock rom. I found Modaco's method for it. But many users did not find it working. Is there any other SIMPLE AND STABLE method for it without messing up with stock rom and recovery?
2. If I successfully root it without custom recovery what will be steps to unroot it and revert it back to stock 4.4.4 so that I could receive future OTA. (i had rooted my HTC one x with custom recovery so I know about unlocking bootloader). Will this process include flashing stock rom as there is already stock rom in phone
3. Is is necessary to download stock firmware if someone decide to revert back from rooted phone to stock. I mean not everyone has fast Internet connection to download those big 400-500 mb . Zip files. I read somewhere that we can backup the entire rom after rooting. So why not flash that backed up rom for reverting process. Why need to download..and For backing up the stock rom do we need to root with custom recovery or the Modaco's method (stock recovery root) will work.
You may find my third question stupid but I am not much into this stuff.
Please answer my all questions whether it is yes or no. You need not to provide detailed descriptions but just clear my confusion. I couldn't find these type of questions anywhere else on Internet. So may be useful for other users too. Thanx

Hey...yes you can root it but doing so requires an unlocked bootloader(which wipes all data on the phone..so backup)
To revert root you'll need stock recovery(since you say you don't want a custom recovery, skip flashing the stock recovery) and untouched stock ROM...
you can either download a stock fresh stock ROM[recommended]
Or
You can revert all root changes you did to the ROM(Xposed, root,busybox, e.t.c.)
Cheers mate
thanx for replying..
Ok reverting will be enough? I thought stock rom is no more Pure after we root it either by stock recovery or custom recovery. And if i choose the reverting method, how much total apps will i have to delete/uninstall?

You'll will have to remove all root adjustments you made...if you can't remember them all, it's best to flash a new zip...but in my case it was only Xposed and root so I uninstalled Xposed within the app, then went to supersu to revert root.
Good luck

Thanx sir, Good Day
1. Try Paul O´Brien´s (that guy from Modaco) method. I rooted my Moto G with stock 4.4.4 like a month ago. No need to mess with the recovery, easy and simple.
2. There is an option in SuperSU that deletes all SU binaries from the phone. It is not needed to update though. You can update with SU installed, unless you modified any system files that the OTA wants to patch.
3. No, as mentioned in 2. Just unroot, uninstall xposed and you are done.

Xperia E3 (D2243) won't root?

I followed Vinay's steps for root and recovery on a Sony Xperia E3, however after the root fix reboot SuperSU isn't installed and obviously I can't access any root only functionality. The phone is on KitKat (4.4.4/18.5.0.25), stock rom. I believe the stock rom may be blocking it (although I could be wrong since recovery should have priority over it) and the only thing stopping me from installing a custom rom is the lack of DTV support, because the phone belongs to a relative. The reason for rooting is because his phone is too bloated, updating all apps and installing a few more just use all storage.
