[Q] Lost root access?

Hi guys android newbie here! My friend rooted my Nexus 5 and it was working fine for a couple of weeks. Yesterday I tried to open SuperSU and it didn't work! Other apps that required root didn't work either.
I have been looking around and it seems OTA updates may have screwed up my root. Every time I try to open SuperSU it says: "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!" If you just upgraded to Android 4.3 (I have 4.4), you need to manual re-root. Consult the relevant forums for your device!" I have used root checker by joeykrim and it says "Sorry! this device does not have proper root access" (to confirm my root is busted).
My question is, is there any way to fix this without re-rooting? If I have to re-root, can I just directly re-root it again using something like Wugs rootkit?
Thank you very much in advance!

Just flash the newest version of supersu and you'll be good to go..... http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip

go to the play store, find supersu, install/update it, open tbe app and update your binaries.

I've tried to insyall /uninstall, wiping the cache and data with no luck. Right when I open the app the supersu binary problem comes up and I can't even get into it!

I can install/update to v1.8! I just can't open it. Gives me a "SU binary not installed" when I do!

Did you install/update from the playstore or flashed the new update?

Sorry if this is a stupid question .. but how/ do I flash this or what program do i use?
My friend helped me root it so i have no idea on how to do this @@ Very sorry.

Hmmm... from the link I posted in one of my last post, you can just use a useful app called "flashify" and flash it that way (the easiest way) but you need that file that is in the link obviously to do so haha. So afterwards when in flashify you'll get 3 simple options, boot image, recovery image, and zip file. choose zip file, go into your downloads folder from the file explorer from the app (which it should be there if you downloaded it off your phone) and let the app do the rest

Ok so I can't open flashify either. It also says I have lost root access and my superuser is busted. I have attached a screenshot!
http://i42.tinypic.com/2mgw0v6.png

Of course, you don't have root access, silly me lol Well guess we'll have to do it the hard way (it's not really that complicated) ok read carefully. Power off your phone, afterward hold the power and volume down buttons which should get you into the bootloader, cycle trough the options with the volume buttons and when you see recovery mode select it with the power button, now depending on which Recovery you have you'll have to choose the option that says install or install from sd card, again, depending on which one you have this will be slightly different. After doing i believe the paths will be the same, chose 0/ then look for the download/ folder which you should have that supersu.zip file, if you're using twrp recover it should be touch screen and you simply select it and swipe to install, if you're using cwm (which i do) you'' have to scroll with the volume buttons and select the file with the power button to install. I hope I was as clear as i could be, good luck

after going into recovery mode, there is just a android robot with his chest open and an exclamation mark! can't proceed after that.

Ouhhh you don't have a recovery then, do you have adb or any kind of toolkit?

I have wugs toolkit. but every time i try to do anything at all on it. It says ADB device not found? That seems to be preventing me from doing anything as well.

Do you have the adb drivers installed or/and usb debug turned on in developer settings?

how/where do i install adb drivers? I have not done so, and i doubt my friend did it when he rooted.
I do turn on usb debugging when i tried to unroot/root on wugs toolkit

In wugs toolkit it has a walk-through on how to do so, i suggest you use the RAW drivers option

I must be blind to not have seen this before. Thank you very much for your help I'll let you know how it goes!

Is that the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r3 ?
Also, do you think I can put TWRP and Root it again using the toolkit? (Or any other way that won't wipe my phone)

Rooting wont erase anything. Drop the toolkit learn to do it manually, it will save you a lot of headaches. Copy the su file to your phone, reboot into TWRP recovery, install from zip, find and install superSU file. If root does not stick, look into SU settings and remove " Respect CM Root Settings " and reboot to system.

LG V10 Xposed Installation & H961N Root TOT

As some people actually requested a guide, for those who actually have root for H961N, thanks to @BlueEffect . If you have missed it, head over to the link and get rooted! http://forum.xda-developers.com//lg...m-h961n-official-thread-t3248822/post65268920
By all means, any issues in regards to any brick, bootloop or data lost, I will not be able to save you from it, so remember to back up your stuffs before doing anything further.
To install Xposed is actually pretty easy on the LG V10.
By all means, any issues in regards to any brick, bootloop or data lost, I will not be able to save you from it, so remember to back up your stuffs before doing anything further.
Since we do not have proper recovery, we have to use the alternative method, provided by @Chainfire , which is called Flashfire (those who have used G4 before should have heard of this amazing application that allows you to flash zips without a recovery).
Link to thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/flashfire-t3075433
1) Register as a beta tester and install Flashfire Beta on your rooted LG V10.
2) Download the Xposed Packages (mainly the apk and the latest sdk22 arm64 flashable zip)
Link to thread/download page - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
3) Copy it to your phone (If you are using PC, if not, skip to next step)
4) Install the Xposed APK
5) Open up Flashfire, allow root, and click the Plus (+) Button at the bottom right screen.
Afterwards, select Flash ZIP or OTA, and select the flashable xposed zip that you just downloaded/copied into your phone.
When the option comes up, just click the tick at the top right hand corner of the pop-up.
6) Once you are done, scroll down the main screen and click the Flash Button.
It is best to flash in conjunction with the Xposed fix for the second screen, Thanks @RiceRocket954 for the quick flashable zip to fix those issues, and also @tattedup for the APK fixes.
Download link - https://www.dropbox.com/s/8s181or9n2taw51/Xposed_2ndScreen_fix.zip?dl=0
7) Wait for it to reboot, and you are done

THANK YOU SO MUCH.....your screenshots showed me that the zip file never downloaded all the way. That's why I could "See" it in the folder (178 kb) but not in Flashfire.....again, many thanks..

Im having some difficulty. It must be a simple oversight..but i Followed instructions through and cannot enable exposed. The xposed installer tells me to update and install the framework. I have a vs990. Installed the alpha program, and installed both zips. The first time i did it i wasnt paying attention and installed version 23 instead of 22. I ran the uninstaller through flashfire and reinstalled the 22. Cannot seem to get it to recognize....wondering if my initial mistake ruined it...any ideas? Thanks

Xposed was running fine for me until last night it started giving this error that a different version is required. I was on v80 sdk 22.

Ah. Phh is probably why it won't unpack then.
I'm not sure then. If re-flashing B181 hw and public doesn't fix it, it's probably the boot image (seeing as regular camera apps don't work either something is up with the drivers).
I'd try with SuperSU/phh too or update to b182+ if possible and flash regular magisk 13.3, without phh.

Correct. Latest is 181. I guess you could try installing Magisk, it will reboot instantly in twrp if it can't mount image as loop. 182+ is only because most firmware got loop support in 182. (First) B182 for C432 was released 12th of April and yours was released 24th of April, so it might work.
Or rebrand to C636.

Before updating, have you tried restoring boot without rooting and see if that fixes camera?
Try this one, I removed verity and replaced fileencryption with encryptable so it doesn't encrypt your /data again.
https://mega.nz/#!lhE2zLSR!ngNY3bXKMS_eKizjmfnKHbFgVSVnp94dgCXnxuL_G_0
If it doesn't do anything, continue below.
Currently, https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
Other ways are Firmware Finder or OTA, but both those require your IMEI to be approved for the update.
And Funky Huawei, which you need to pay for.
It will wipe /data when/if you decrypt again so make sure to make a backup of /data first, or backup apps with Titanium Backup or which backup app you use.
Basically download the Base zip, MHA zip and Windows or linux zip from https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
Extract all to the same folder (hwota) and merge if it asks.

Put all in the "update" folder in the hwota folder you extracted before.
Rename update_full_MHA-L29_hw_meafnaf.zip to update_all_hw.zip
Rename update_data_full_public.zip to update_data_public.zip
Put phone in fastboot mode (download mode) and run update.bat (windows) or update.sh (linux)
Pick "Same brand update" when it asks, and "Script update directory".
When it's done your bootloader will be locked again so you need to unlock it if you want to root again.
You will be able to install regular Magisk 13.3 now without superuser (phh)

Resolved the camera issue by following the last steps by flashing the 3 zip files......have unlocked bootloader and installed twrp 3.1.0.1 and trying to install magisk 13.3 but it always stuck at huawei logo.
Have also tried rooting but it seems only SuperSU2.82EMUI5noverityEnforcing works and do i need to follow the steps of formatting data to get it decyrpted?

My bad.
If you're using official Magisk 13.3, that's why it's not booting. Since your data partition is encrypted, and Magisk removes the encryption flag, it tries to boot without decrypting. So it ends in a boot loop.
Use this: https://mega.nz/#!I4FQzbyA!gBZelHmD3lGGwzGISUXkf7GQTUAq5i785d_qPHQOaVE (this one just doesn't force remove encryption)
Or decrypt first, then flash HW and Public and official Magisk 13.3.
But yes, to decrypt you need to format data.

Is there another way of flashing the 3 zip files without running through pc cuz i dont know whats happening. Am done with with everything working with Magisk and data encrypted but what i have realised this around is my development option is not working along with debugging mode. Also am not able to install apk aside from playstore....Due to that adb in command prompt is not working cuz debugging mode is disables.
In fastboot mode am only able to check device status and reboot device.Id you send a commnd to flash an image it response failed....

If you can't get in to dev options, wipe dalvik/art & cache in twrp, it could fix playstore as well.
If you can't enable adb, try enable disable a few times and remove USB cable between. I always have to do that the first time.
You can actually do everything from twrp to install firmware. But you'd have to check the hwota.sh file for commands... There are a few you must execute.
And is camera working now again?

Try this one, I removed verity and replaced fileencryption with encryptable so it doesn't encrypt your /data again.

If it doesn't do anything, continue below.
Currently, https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
Other ways are Firmware Finder or OTA, but both those require your IMEI to be approved for the update.
And Funky Huawei, which you need to pay for.
It will wipe /data when/if you decrypt again so make sure to make a backup of /data first, or backup apps with Titanium Backup or which backup app you use.
Basically download the Base zip, MHA zip and Windows or linux zip from https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
Extract all to the same folder (hwota) and merge if it asks.
Then download:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1366/g104/v91627/f1/full/update.zip
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...hw_meafnaf/update_full_MHA-L29_hw_meafnaf.zip
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...27/f1/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip
Put all in the "update" folder in the hwota folder you extracted before.
Rename update_full_MHA-L29_hw_meafnaf.zip to update_all_hw.zip
Rename update_data_full_public.zip to update_data_public.zip
Put phone in fastboot mode (download mode) and run update.bat (windows) or update.sh (linux)
Pick "Same brand update" when it asks, and "Script update directory".
When it's done your bootloader will be locked again so you need to unlock it if you want to root again.
You will be able to install regular Magisk 13.3 now without superuser (phh)

If you can't get in to dev options, wipe dalvik/art & cache in twrp, it could fix playstore as well.
If you can't enable adb, try enable disable a few times and remove USB cable between. I always have to do that the first time.
You can actually do everything from twrp to install firmware. But you'd have to check the hwota.sh file for commands... There are a few you must execute.
And is camera working now again?

Yes Camera is working good and it looks like they have added a new feature in the camera app for b182 called MOVING PICTURE which add sound whiles you capture.I use to love that when i was using S5.
Now after careful observation about the instruction u gave me,am able to install B182 ,have decyrpted data ,have magisk 13.3 running without any issue.
I jux wanna say thanks so much for your patience with me...Much appreciated:good::good::good::good::good:
BTW which of the models will u recommend if want to rebrand?:

How to install Xposed ?

Hello everyone, I have rooted and installed TWRP in my galaxy j7 2016 (sm-j710fn).
I installed Xposed installer but when I go to "framework" the "install/update" button is grayed out and does not work.
I've checked, and I think (if I understood correctly) that I need to flash a zip file, but I dont know which one to take in a list of files on xda, which I can't post here.
Is this the right method (I dont want to brick my device) and if so, which file should I choose?
Thank you in advance.

Check installation directory. Use /system if you have space.
Use latest version of xposed installer from play store.

I have about 1GB free in my memory, and I can't find xposed in the play store. I think I need to flash the SDK23/arm64.zip file but I'm not sure.
