lost root after upgrading to 4.4.2

hi
this morning i have received the OTA, i ran it and it successfully updated to 4.4.2 however i no longer have root access.
so do i have to redo everything again (backup everything and reboot again) or is there any quick way to fix this?

just reflash a custom recovery and then flash supersu.zip again.

Of course you lost root. That's normal. Just re-root. How did you root before?

I'm a bit surprised that installing the app from the market fixed it..... maybe I am missing something... LOL

hell guys, why be snobs?
ive been around here for many years, had many, many devices, probably a hundred roms, and I use the toolkit because I find it easier...and have had no major problems.
so
After rooting with the toolkit, SuperSU was not showing up as an app. Installing it via play store worked for me too... - it asked if I wanted to update binaries, I chose normal instead of via twrp, and after doing that and a reboot, all is good...
cheers
Mark.

If you accepted an OTA you will have to re-root manually or with the tool kit you originally used.
You can't simply install SuperSU from the Play Store and regain root. Sure the app will install (anyone can do this) but the binaries will be absent (i.e. no root).
You can test this by opening SuperSU. When you open it, it will tell you if it's working correctly.

CM11 Lost Root

I'm running CM11 here, today's nightly build. I was messing around with the built in Superuser because I wanted to use SuperSU instead. I disabled the built in Superuser, and now it looks like it's gone and my phone lost root. What do I do?

Flash the latest zip from Chainfire in recovery

I'm guessing that you won't be doing that again! Next time, just install SuperSU without doing anything with superuser. SuperSU will become the default (Alpha Male)!

Thanks for the help everyone, all is well now. Turns out I just had to re-enable root in the developer options. SuperSU is working as it should be now.

You need to uninstall Xposed first, before upgrading. Refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/info-nexus-5-ota-help-desk-t2523217

Just download the full rooted stock ROM in android development and flash it without wipe from recovery.
It's actually fewer steps anyway.
OTA = revert system changes, boot recovery, flash, re-flash recovery, re-root
Rooted stock = boot recovery, flash
No brainer really. Flashing an OTA if rooted is a fool's errand

Nope. It's just flashing an entire, rooted ROM. You will have to install the Xposed framework again but the Xposed installer, all Xposed modules and all their data will remain intact

[Q] superSu help

Whenever superSu asks for permission to run a root app my screen becomes unresponsive. Timer runs out and i am not able to apply grant permission. Help. This didnt use to happen when i was earlier rooted with towelroot. Right now also i ised towelroot

Have you tried re-flashing the supersu zip?

Yes. Didnt work.
Btw by reflash the zip file you mean reinstall it from pkay store, right?

Pardon the ignorance. Just found out that flashing a zip file and installing apps from play store are 2 different things.
Well my bootloader is locked and neither do i have a custom recovery installed. So flashing doesnt seem to be an option right now.. If i am not missing anything.

Are you running 5.0? If so how the heck did you root with towelroot? AFAIK you can not root 5.0 that way. Maybe that is a problem.

No no. I am on kitkat only

Tried reinstalling it. This is what came up. I am on android 4.4.4 btw

You need to flash the supersu zip using fastboot:
teamandroid. com/2014/06/19/root-nexus-5-android-444-ktu84p-kitkat/2/ (you're going to have to fix that link because I have under 10 posts so the forum won't let me post..)
Additionally you need to have an unlocked bootloader

You say you were rooted ...why did you re-root? It looks like you are no longer rooted. Did you do an update or anything?

To get root again either flash the latest CF Auto Root in fastboot or flash the latest superSU.zip in recovery or flash a pre-rooted custom rom in a custom recovery.

Mm Root unstable

Hi,my mate 7 tl-10 is on b511 marshmellow and I have twrp custom recovery and I flashed supersu v2.46 but every time I use any root application it says my root is unstable and when I open supersu it says I have no root binary I flashed again and again and every time with the same result I don't know what to do .?

Install busybox and go to lucky patcher and touch the app that you want to give permission by su...then go to tools and move that app to phone then reboot and use app clear data and start that specific app

Good news, Supersu v 2.64 pro found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/development/beta-b510-android-6-0-mt7-l09-mt7-tl10-t3286910 works If screen just turn black after rebooting to system just press power button to reboot again. It may restart the first time without finishing the bootanimation but the next time it boots up it'll be good
I salute Huawei for adding a bunch of new stuff in this update., especially the under the hood ones. Hoping the final stable build is solid

Will it work or will it bootloop ?

I believe Lucky Patcher is to be blamed. If you try to patch anything Google related(ads, iap, store, etc), you will lose root privileges.
I am currently using BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247 and is working fine so far.
Cheers,
Zol.

I solved it I only had to reflash supersu v2.46 and delete dalvik cash befire I restart my phone then you have to restart your phone and go to apps and delete supersu data
And it will be fully working
