Why did I lose root? Please help!

First off I would like to thank everyone on this amazing site for all the advice, guides and tutorials.
I unlocked my nexus bootloader and flashed a couple different roms. I really like the rom manager so I've used that to download roms and then flash them using that app.
When I downloaded the stock version of 91and flashed it, the phone no longer seemed to have root or clockwork recovery but my bootloader was still unlocked. When I downloaded rom manager, it could not get super user permissions, this being useless in flashing a backup or new rom. So I used universal one click root to gain root access and then rom manager was able to flash a backup.
I know this may be a dumb question but hope someone could explain to me why I needed to re-root and why I lost clockwork recovery...?
Thanks for the help in advance.

Right theres your problem. stock roms dont have root built in you have to root them again. unless you download a prerooted stock rom. hope this helps.

Yep this seems to be your problem. If you're wanting stock with the basic add-ons then the first link in this thread is your answer: Link.

Thanks very much. That does make sense. I thought unlocked bootloader meant I was rooted regardless of rom! I'm in way over my head lol. Looking forward to learning more...thanks for the new rom link as well

The advantage of unlocking your bootloader means you can flash a custom recovery from Fastboot mode, without having to "root" the ROM. Next time this happens you can just boot into fastboot and flash clockwork from there like this:
fastboot flash recovery PATHTO\RECOVERYFILENAME.img
so say you download clockwork and save it to c:\sdk\fastboot named recovery.img from a command prompt you enter the following
cd \sdk\fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
once it is done flashing you can do this
fastboot reboot recovery
and that should take you into clockwork where you can flash your favorite ROM (or restore a backup).

Thanks for the help. I will be sure to try that method out next time. Very helpful.

In fact thats a question that you also could have found information on by simply READING on the forum...So always use search first, whenever possible, avoids unnecessary post, second i am going to give u some points you can stick to. First of all I would root the phone (attention warranty voids) then install superuser and Busybox (you can find tutorials on that everywhere here) then install ROM Manager or soft similar to it, open the program, install ClockWorkManager, reboot to recovery system, backup, DONE!
As I said you also could have found that out on your own... And learning by doing is still better than not learning by copying
So i hope you manage to do it... also consider to have a look into this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111771

It has nothing to do with data.
I would advise re-downloading. If there is an error in the updater-script file, then you'll have no chance in installing it.

all right then ill try redownloading the rom btw i have cwm 5.0.2.0

Grab it here and use LG extract. to get bin and fls files. Use Smart flash to install.

I am just looking for my old nandroid of v20n, you would just have to remove superuser files I guess and it would be fine. Maybe ro.secure=0 from kernel as well, but not really sure...

I am just trying to unroot the ROM provided by tantrums, but I think I need help, cause I dont know, which symlinks I need to remove, and if I maybe forgot any file, that could show them, that it's rooted.
I ll upload the ROM and maybe Redy or Gabz or another Pro can have a look at it
Follow THIS thread
Hope the other guys will help me soon, so you can unroot your phone and bring it to service

There is a 'UnRoot device' option in GingerBreak v1.2, maybe that might be enough?

Now using CM10
Previously used Zeus ROM..
At times of using Zeus, I successfully installed Stock ROM (rooted or non-rooted) whatever I wanted without problems.
But after using CM10, when installing with smartflash tool the stock ROMs, I am getting bootloop...
waiting for good solution...

You definitly made a mistake somewhere. Try the v20s bin/fls files from my noob how to, since they also work for me. Did you wipe everything when you were in recovery + flash superuser.zip? Unroot ROM is ready, but you need CWM to flash it and will lose all kind of root access.

Easy Root Official V30B Stock

OK, based on the previous topic on rooting V30A, here is the updated package for those people who want to just root V30B, while keeping the stock bootloader and recovery. It's an image of /system directory (taken from the new V30B) which includes su and superuser.apk.

(filesize: 286,931,373 bytes, MD5: c787ef960b18e222b23327eaa34db0f5)
Just connect your phone in NVflash mode, and run the batch file. Successfully tested by me. Enjoy! I take no credit for the method; I am just providing an updated system.img.
As noted above, this rooting method does NOT install unlocked bootloader or CWM! If you want unlocked BL and CWM, the P990 AIO Tool is the easiest way to do it (it also does many other things -- if you haven't tried it, give it a go, it's wonderful!).

Nope, sorry. This is only root without messing with the bootloader and recovery, nothing more.

This is for rooting V30B, so you need to flash this ROM first.

Flashed SmartFlash' able ICS V30B (FLS+BIN) from this post thanks to trocopassu
and then NVFlashed this V30B root....
ROOTING WORKED FLAWLSSLY, NO DATA LOST. Amazing Rooting Tool. Works 100%.
Thanks a lot @kt-Froggy True surprises and happy moments on this Merry Christmas.
My FULLY POSITIVE review on UNROOTED V30B is here and also here
5 stars to both rom and root. :good:
EDIT: Seems CWM not included. Try Install ROM Manager from GooglePlay and CWM from it.
EDIT2: Seems RomManager is not recognizing device so cannot CWM.

The same goes for V30a on Homero's Opti-ICS, I had to download Rom Manager but it not recognizing devie so can't CWM either. Any ideas why?
Rom Manager V 5.5.1.3 but when I reboot into recovery says CWM-Based Recovery v6.0.1.5

Recovery v6.0.2.5 from "pengus77" or Recovery v5.0.2.8e from "spyrosk" are OK!...

As far as I understand, you have to have an unlocked bootloader first to be able to install CWM. If you flashed V30B BIN/FLS and rooted using this system image, you are still on stock (locked) BL...
