So I used the Casual one-click tool to root my Verizon S3. TWRP installed correctly but I have no SuperSU. I tried installing it from the app store but it crashes whenever I try to get root access. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Odin back to stock and try the casual tool again. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332825 but don't do the 1 click option. Root your phone, reboot and see if the installed superuser app is working (you'll be able to install the binaries if you're rooted). And then unlock your bootloader and flash recovery. The first post has the correct instructions.

Thanks a lot. Ended up doing this before seeing this post and now everything is running smoothly. Just figured I'd check back to mark this thread as solved.
Hello everybody.
First of all, I'm not sure whether this is the place to post this kind of questions. My apologies in advance. Here is my problem.
I rooted my nexus 5 nearly after a month of having bought it using the nexus root toolkit. Today I received the 4.4.3 OTA, and somewhere I read that it would fail most likely. I also read read that I should set survival mode in SuperSU (a pro option) in order to retain root access, which I couldn't. I tried to update via the OTA thinking it would fail, and it worked, only that I lost my root access.
Is there an easy way to regain root access? I don't want to wipe and re-install everything. There are only a few apps I use that need root access, however it would be nice to have them back, nevertheless.
Thanks in advance.
PS: Now I am able to record video hassle-free, no more static noise in the background :victory:

So dump SuperSU zip on the phone (link in sig), and flash it with recovery.

Thanks for your reply. I have already SuperSU on my phone, but when I press it it says there are some binaries missing. Busybox doesn't update the binaries since it has no root access and says the device might be improperly rooted. My recovery is TWRP, so I can actully flash root files or such.
Edit: I just tried to boot into recovery and it didn't work quite well. There is a fallen android guy with a red triangle. So I don't have recovery either it seems.

Using USB copy SuperSU to your tablet, unlock the bootloader, flash the TWRP custom recovery and then use TWRP to install SuperSU. If you want follow this guide, but skip flashing BlissPop and the GAPPS package.
Strange! I used Kingroot on the replacement tablet, just two days ago. It was on 5.0.1 when I received it but I went ahead & upgraded to 5.1.1. Kingroot only took 20 seconds to reach 100% on 5.1.1.
Long story short, I wiped the device in TWRP because I don't know what Kingroot also installs besides just rooting the device, & flashed the full 5.1.1. OTA ROM along with the latest superSU. Rebooted & had to setup the device as a new device. No big deal because it was a brand new tablet anyways so no data lost.
By the way, I don't have an SD card in my tablet either. I borrowed the SD card from my Note 3 to make this work. Then deleted the files before placing it back in the phone.
So I'm rooted, TWRP recovery AND using 5.1.1 clean install. No trace of Kingroot found through ES file explorer.

Still having trouble. I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and installed supersu but rootchecker still says no su. Do I have to do a sideload of supersu from an sd card?

I'd suggest downloading the recovery image for your current version of Android (or full OTA and wipe system beforehand) and flashing just the system.img from there, to make sure that you're starting from a clean state, then try flashing SuperSU through TWRP again (it should work without issues)
will try that will the.ota image need to be . on the sdcard?

if you're downloading the OTA (not the recovery image), you can either put it on the SD card, or you can flash it directly from your computer using ADB sideload from the Advanced menu in TWRP (on the PC side, do "adb sideload path/to/ota.zip")
My thanks to all who helped. I finally put everything on a 1gb sdcard that I found. Installed everything and now (I think) I have full root access. Will let you know later
Tnx to all who helped. I finally put everything on a 1gb card I found in my junk pieces an it appears that I have full root access.
My v10 downloaded an OTA , which im assuming is 6.0
1. Im rooted on stock 6.0 and unlocked boot loader. Will the OTA work without messing up anything ? Ill have to root again im sure, just want some info before i pull the trigger.
I don't think the update will even proceed being that you're on a rooted ROM. I have that notification too, and i just don't know how to turn it off.
I to am rooted,unlockboot and stock rom. I don't feel like taking a chance. So I used titanium backup to freeze the software update and in the drop down notification if you press it, it's a notification from Google play services if you block it in apps it will disappear from your drop down. I also deleted the update zip in the cache folder.I used es file explorer ,device/cache/update

Okay, I'm assuming you are on H90120e (system version). There is a root exploit for the H90120j update. You just do the following:
Make a backup of your apps and settings
Flash your phone to the new update (H90120j)?
Take a look at either one of these threads to root your device again:

You can't flash the phone that is already rooted and has TWRP.
I am in this same situation. On stock rom with root and twrp. I want to update to the new update, but do not want to loose all my apps, settings, etc.
Question is, how to do the initial update before having to re-root again?
How do we flash the phone with the new update?

All you are doing is opening the LGUP tool and flashing the new H90120j .kdz file using the "refurbish" option then flashing the H90120j .tot file that has TWRP using the "update" option which will flash the phone regardless of what is running on your phone. The guides on the first link explain that. I believe your concern is keeping all of your settings and apps. Look up Titanium backup, it works for me.
Thank you. I only flash the LGH901AT-01-V20j-310-260-JUL-12-2016-ARB02+0ROOTTWRP tot file and all is good.
Well except that I lost Dolby audio.
I will look for a fix.

Do I have to use LGUP to install the update or can I click install on the dropdown of my phone?
I'm on stock MM 6.0 (H90120e) Rooted and I will not have access to my main PC for another week as I'm traveling.

There's a guide in general that tells how to do all this. In fact jun19inf WROTE it.
In a nutshell, do a twrp backup.
Upgrade to 20j by flashing the stock 20j kbz.
Enable usb debugging and oem unlock
flash tot that has twrp in it.
Now you can go into twrp and 1) root via supersu 2) restore ONLY data from your twrp backup taken previously to get your apps etc back. Alternatively Titanium Backup will also do just fine.

If all is you have is root, you should be able to unroot in the SuperSU settings, and then let the update install. But if you have TWRP, then I can't see any way to do the update without using a PC to flash your phone back to stock ROM and recovery. Although you may check the dev. section to see if Eliminator has a flashable ROM to bring you up to date.

Hi all. I just got my factory warranty back and I attempted to root it. Everything went as it should, until just after the install finished. Instead of rebooting normally, it now will only reboot into TWRP. Once there, when I try to flash a custom ROM (in this case, Bliss, but I don't think it matters, I get an error message that says the zip file is corrupt. Then, while still in recovery, when I tried to wipe everything except the sd card, it says mkfs.fat process ended with error. I then powered down and attempted the factory reset. I scrolled down on both screens and it did not say anything about any errors, so I assumed it took. However, it reboots right back into TWRP recovery. It also boots right to TWRP recovery when I try to boot normally. Of course, adb does not recognize the phone in any mode that I can get into (fastboot/recovery/download), so, I can't use LG Bridge to reflash the original firmware. Does anybody have any ideas for a fix? I know that this replacement phone had 6.0 on it. I thought I did everything to a t? TIA...
OK, not sure how I got there, but when I attempt to reboot from TWRP it says No OS Installed! Are you sure you want to reboot? That at least says what the problem is. Does anybody know how to fix this?
Where can I download the update file?

How to root V10 T-mobile M.M ver V20L
How to root V10 T-mobile M.M ver V20L
Can some one guide me on the following:
1. Can I flash back and downgrade to Software version V20J from V20L.
2. Is there any root method for V10 t-mobile MM ver V20L.
1. It is well explained in this forum, you CANNOT go back without facing a software brick.
2. You can root your phone through Dirty_Cow method or by flash Eliminater74 ROM (Part1 & Part2).
Again, search for that in this section and in development one...

I ran Skipsoft's toolkit, very nice by the way, and it unlocked and installed TWRP. It rebooted and I flashed TWRP from TWRP. Then it rebooted so I wasn't able to install SU and root it. Plus I wasn't able to push SU 2.79 to my Pixel, it have several errors.
Question. Now that I have some time I want to know if I can flash su2.79 from TWRP, from the phone, instead of with the tool kit on my PC. I can boot into fastboot and then into TWRP easily.

Thank you
is there a way you could share these error messages with us?
And of course, you can flash SuperSU.zip from TWRP. Just follow the instructions in the SuperSu thread.
But why do you need a tool to accomplish these things for you? It's also simple when you don't use such a toolkit.

To be clear, the SU you are using is 2.79 SR3?
The errors were when the toolkit tried to push the SU zip to the phone. I tried it several ways If you want I could try it again and take a screenshot
I like the toolkit, I've used it once before. It's easy steps to follow, and a proven method with less room for human error.
Thanks for your response
