I went back to stock from liberty so i could install the official update. In the process of installing the update, i lost root. Am i able to reroot or am I stuck for the time being. I know i should have used the forever root, but i didn't. I just want to know if I'm able to root again or am i stuck for the time being. I really hope i can but if i cant, i will live with it.

same here. I went from Shift3r to stock, flashed the update, lost root, now can't seem to re-root.
Yes, most ppl are reporting that it works - you may have to yr twice, and after the phone rebooted the first time after applying the update, it's not a bad idea to reboot it again manually before starting anything.
So I definitely forever rooted before applying the update and lost root after the update as well... I really hope that I don't have to flash back to re-root and then take the update again...
Lost root
I was on stock 886, rooted. I flashed forever root and updated, but still lost root. Then I flashed back to 886 and now I can't seem to re-root. Rawr!
root is possible after update
follow "dfib"s manual method to get root back:
copy and paste: androidforums.com/bionic-all-things-root/460668-can-i-re-root-after-5-8-894-broke-root.html[/url]
I had a never rooted droid bionic that received the OTA update and try to get root with Pete's Motorola Root Tools and R3l3AS3DRoot and both failed multiple times so i tried the manual method to gain root and it worked!
-as always make sure you run command prompt as "admin"
-and highlight code to make sure you include all "spaces" (some are hard to see)
-when extracting exploit.zip extract to desktop
happy rooting
Yep, I followed dfib's instructions (although credit goes to P3) and it worked perfectly!
Will Pete's unroot work or will you have to manually unroot?
Thanks. I was really upset the first time i lost my data network after installing the update that was supposed to fix that and was the only reason i installed it.

Yeah I still lost my network as well after update. I always had HTC phones prior to this. Next year I'm diching the Motorola junk and going back to HTC. I never had issues with HTC whether it was Windows Mobile or Android.

This worked! XDA Forum is just the most awesome of all times. I reopened my Titanium and it prompted the superuser for me to grant access. I'm rooted again!
Says my SU Binary is out of date in Superuser, and force closes when trying to update the SU Binary. When I try to update Superuser, it says the signature doesn't match. And SU Update Fixer keeps failing. Is there another way that I can update the Superuser.
Update:
Tried the process again, and this time, I cannot get past "./zerg". Says cannot copy boomsh permission denied.
Root Check says I am rooted though. I think the Superuser is the problem
Second Update: For whatever reason, after doing the above, R3L3AS3DRoot worked and got me rooted and Superuser working properly. It pushed the sytem back to before I updated also.
I am very sorry for what is certainly a stupid question, but if it is any consolation I DID search and read through threads until my head hurt prior to posting.
1) What is the best way to apply the new OTA 4.2 update for those with rooted Nexus 7 tablet.
With the 4.1.2 update, I blindly installed the OTA update when prompted and didnt realize there was a problem until i tried to access my stickmount USB drive. Luckily the nexus 7 was still unlocked so I didn't need to wipe everything. All i did was re-root it using Nexus Root Toolkit v. 1.5.4. and was back up and running. Is this going to be the same experience with the 4.2 update?
I have installed Voodoo OTA Root keeper v2.0.3 - is this a better route for upgrade instead of re-rooting via the Nexus Toolkit? And if so, how should I use it (do know much about the app).?
2) Is stickmount going to work? And if not, is there a good working alternative for streaming mkv h264 movies to MXPlayer (or other player)?
The main reason I rooted was to access a USB drive for playing movies, TV shows while traveling. We are heading off to Cabo for Thanksgiving and definitely want to be able to access and play movies from my stickmount'ed usb drive. Any suggestions ? Should I just wait to update - and if so is there any way to get the Nexus to stop prompting to install the update all the time?
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to have pity on me...

1) I just downloaded the OTA 4.2 .zip, copied it to my N7, ran CWM and flashed it. When it asked about keeping recovery and keeping root, I said "yes" and it worked without a problem!
2) Works for me.

Sorry these answers need to be dumb'd down for me
1) If i already have the update downloaded via OTA trying to install itself, is it really easier/necessary to locate the zip you mention, copy it to the N7 (not sure where to copy) and run CWM (not sure what that is or where i get it or how to install it). Is there an easier way to accomplish the update? Perhaps setting the Voodoo Rootkeeper to preserve the root or temporarily unroot.. then just install the downloaded OTA update and then return the root? Or just installing the update and then running the re-root using the Nexus Toolkit (like I did with the 4.1.2 update)?
2) I would like to know more about how you avoided this issue described in this thread here with stickmount not functioning with v4.2 because of the new mulituser framework that causes it no longer to see files in the mounted folders.
Thanks for your help and to anyone else that chimes in... any help is appreciated. Again sorry for being stupid.

i tried with OTArootkeeper app. but it don't update.... at restart for installing, it gave a black screen with android in the middle, with a RED icon inside it...... then it restart and 4.1.2 is always there
Perhaps these questions are so rudimentary that they hardly seem worth bothering with - but for some of us, these hacks and the info being thrown around in here are pretty confusing at times. I would be very grateful to anyone with some insight willing to help out?.
i found that this could be a problem with recovery mode... infact if i tr y to restart in recovery, it gave the same error...
i rooted with toolbox, and i'm thinking that it could have removed my recovery... now i'd like to try to recover the stock recovery with the same tool... but i'm not sure about that.
We seem to have veered off topic a bit here (at least for me)... so let me re-post the questions and beg again for mercy from any kind soles who can offer some advice?

Bueller...... Bueller...... Bueller?
Hi! Last month I did the 4.1.2 OTA update. I was rooted but on stock. It updated with no problems. I used Voodoo OTA rootkeeper, restored the root, and either renistalled super su, or just updated the binary. Can't remember.....But I did lose my custom recovery. Didn't realize it till tonite when I went to do the 4.2 update.
So to your question. I forced the OTA 4.2 update. And it downloaded. I made sure voodoo rootkeeper was set to save the root. Then let it install. It rebooted. I opened voodoo, restored root, was asked to update super su binary, accepted. Still not rooted till I rebooted.
So far I have root, and am on 4.2 JB. So my goal was to get my custom recovery back on. Install goo manager from market. Open it, go to the settings button top right, it will give you the choice to install open recovery script. TWRP- Then it will ask you twice are you sure you want to do this and reboot? Say yes. Mine did not reboot and it looked like it did nothing. So, I flipped into recovery and Teamwinn recovery was installed. I made a backup, and rebooted.
Good luck!
Thanks for your help. Glad to hear that the OTA 4.2 update should go relatively painlessly (keeping root using voodoo rootkeeper). If you have a minute, I would be grateful if you can just briefly confirm, describe specifically what I need to be checking/configuring in Voodooo (not very familiar with the app) prior to initiating the OS update, I would feel a little more secure before pulling the trigger.
It appears that many apps are still catching up with their own updates, including apparently stickmount (the reason I rooted) to handle the new 4.2 framework so I am thinking best to hold off until after thanksgiving vacation before applying the update.
Thanks again.

Hi hinsdale,
Have you tried updating to 4.2 yet? Also i heard that if you update SuperSU to version 0.98 the latest version it could cause issues and you will have to reflash the device.

4.2 OTA already loaded, lost root
Hi, I have learned the hard way not to do the OTA upgrade. I just let the 4.2 OTA download when asked to. Now I lost my root that I had on my Nexus7 with 4.1.2. Still unlocked though. What can I do now to root it again and not lose all my apps and data?
I'm a newbie, so please remember that when responding. Thanks.
Hi hinsdale! I am not a techie- I just learn as I go and read, read, read.
So, my voodoo app has 4 checks in the boxes. I seem to remember only 3 boxes checked when I did the update, but I'm not sure. It would make sense that all are checked.
After I updated, I opened the voodoo app first, and there is a box that says restore root. Then it asked if I wanted to update the su binary. Did that, still not rooted according to Tit. BU. Rebooted, then I was rooted. Good luck with your update.
I'm sorry I can't tell you how to run the initial save root on voodoo. I did it a while ago and don't remember, but it was not hard. Very easy.. Just make sure you Read, re- read, and read again before you do any modifications to your tablet. Know the possible bad outcomes, and be prepared to trouble shoot. This site is very good about helping you out if things go wrong. That's why it's a very good idea to be aware of the possible bad outcomes. The only way to know is to READ-READ=READ!
Did I mention READ??? lol. That's how I figure stuff out. If you read about others mistakes, you can avoid them. I also wait a day or 2 to see how it goes for others before I attempt modifications. That includes new roms. You never know what goes wrong until someone is the guinea pig! I am not techie enough to be the guinea pig!

same thing here...I tried to use TWRM to flash SU but it seems that after going into recovery using TWRM I can't see any any file or folder on my SD except 3 folders???? Can someone please help us....
YOu will need to search the best way to root again.
How did you root initially?? You may have to do it that way again. Just make sure the method is compatible with 4.2 JB.

Nexus Root Toolkit
The OTA update downloaded to my cache folder, I moved it to my sdcard. Wouldn't install since I had to fix a couple of files I had edited. So once those 2 files were fixed it installed just fine. Haven't had any issues yet.
The same on here...
But I guess it is better until they fix all this bugs they are reporting.
I'll wait until then.

Hi have updated the nexus to 4,2 and used Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to keep my root followed the instructions as I did when updated to 4.1.2,my Nexus appears to be rooted superSu is working also stickmount sees the usb but it will not show any files on the sd card any help here please to get it to see the files on the sd card, thanks for your time

i dont post often as i am usually here looking for help. this time i get to help
i just downloaded and installed 4.2 OTA.
if your nexus was previously unlocked and rooted, it will download and install just fine. however you will lose root, but KEEP the unlocked state.
to root it again, you must goto "about tablet" and tap your build number 7 times to become a developer, this is not a troll, i got this info from another thread on xda.
then using the nexus root toolkit 1.5.4 with modeltype set to "android *.*.* any build", just do the root procedure.
reboot and ur in business, no need to update supersu, and busybox will still be installed already.
Hi and sorry if i'm wrong here, but i am not able to write in the dev directory, yet.
I unlocked and rooted my phone but now i am not able to update to the new OTA 39002 version.
Is there a way for a temporary unroot or something like this? Because i want to keep my root!
Thank you for help.

I thought the same, but when it is starting up to update in the middle it shows the "dead" android with the red "!" , you know.
after that the phone boots normaly and it says "not successfull"...

I will try the rootkeeper, thanks for that again.

Have you change some file (like to disable camera sound ) ?
I've the same issue with OTA, and I revert all changes I've made in the past, and it work.
If you rooted your Device by changing the Kernel, you have to flash the Boot signed of the Base FW (32 i guess).
The update compares the Base Rom and the Root Exploit set you an secured Kernel, that doesn't match with the System > Problem solved.
The Root won't deny the Update. You can temp. unroot with the ported Rootkeeper (thanks to Mattlgroff) and restore the Root after the Update.
But the Boot.img must fit!
I think i did not change something. Except the kernel that came wih the rooting by mattlgroffs tool.
So i need to change the kernel with a recovery kernel via adb?
Could somebody tell me the comands? (With cwm on a SGS was it a bit easier )
Sent from my XT890 using xda app-developers app
Yes, you have to use fastboot for it (it's in the Folder of the root exploit)
Download your current FW, unpack it and copy the Boot_signed into the Root folder. Then open the cmd window, navigate to the Root Folder by cd command.
Flash the image by
Fastboot flash boot boot_signed.
Alternate you can rename it to razr_i_boot.img and overwrite the secured Kernel in the Exploit. Than just root again and it will flash the right secured Kernel.
Thank you. I will try that today. Btw. where can i find mattlgroffs root keeper? The version in the play store does...nothing?

I was hoping someone out there would be able to help me. I have been trying to find the related threads to aid my quest in updating my Motorola Razr I to Jelly Bean to no avail. The firmware is an orange gb one. I tried to install one I downloaded in a different thread. One that set my version to 81.5.31002.xt890.orange.en.gb but that didn't help.
The issue is I get the update in about phone > system updates. It downloads but fails to install. The update lists itself as the system version without the orange part in the firmware name. I spoke to Motorola who just said send it back in but I dont really want to spend 10 days or more without my handset especially now that I have tried to put a updated rom on it. I wondered if anyone had an update.zip or something I could run from recovery that would install the latest version. Or someone who could help / point me in the right direction of how to install an unbranded rom so I could try the update from that?
I love this phone but this kind of stuff is a real pain!
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have a T-Mobile LG G Flex that used to be rooted and after android system update now it doesn't have root access. Here's the thing: I ran TowelRoot and it displayed the following message: "This device isn't supported". Afterwards I downloaded and installed StumpRoot and when I run the app it displays a message saying: "Device is rooted" but when I run the Root Checker app it tells me device has no root access.

I'd say you might have to grab the tot for the d959, flash back to stock and run the updates again, then use stump.

But not gonna work due to the latest update doesn't have download mode. So if you're on the latest, I suggest find a root method ( try stumproot, safe root, I/o root, vroot, towel root, hell id try anything. But that's me. I don't suggest shoot blind if you don't know what you're doing) then install freedom flex get a custom recovery then make a backup and flash d'fuse's rooted KitKat and disable ota's.

This is a gflex thread not s4
But for your phone
if you have a recovery installed(If you don't you can flash it with Odin google it)
Boot into recovery
Flash the su zip from chainfires website
Should fix your issue

Dont think I got recovery installed, but I will try to flash it. But what does it mean "flash it"?

"Flash It" or "Flashing" means to copy files to your device using an application such as ODIN.
Need help..

I followed your steps and I was able to get the device up and running once again with ROOT access.

Hi, so I am stuck without recovery or download mode. I know that the LG Mobile Support Tool should work but I tried it on two PCs and just as it finishes extracting the software after it downloads, the program runs into an error and closes. I am running D95920s like everyone else here. Just no luck. Any suggestions? I plugged in at 90% Not sure if im doing anything wrong.
Update: So the LG Mobile Tool has many security checks and it doesn't always allow for flashing. If anybody comes across this problem in the future. Refer to mattwheats instructions.

It will force your phone to flash without download mode.
