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.

[ROOT]The FLASHABLE zip file for ROOTing Atrix 2.3.4 HKTW

Hi, after test for some times, i made the flashable root package for 2.3.4 (That the device has flash the leaked HKTW 2.3.4 and unlocked the device)
NOTE:
Unlocked Atrix 4G with HKTW 2.3.4
Please flash the CWM recovery first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
You should have a external sd card in your device, because the recovery cann't recognize the internal card

PLEASE download from the attachment, I'm really sorry that my site was down.
I think all of you know how to flash zip from recovery, so I'll not give hint about this, LOL

Hey, so, I ran into a slight problem.. It doesnt actually root the phone... Or so I've found. What happened to me is it worked perfectly, flashed via new cwm nicely, and I had SU in app drawer. I then decided to try and restore my apps via TB, and it doesnt let me batch anything, see anything, etc. It's like I don't have root. Then I tried getting root explorer and it FC's on opening the app. WTF?

This is because you didn't read my post carefully. You should have a EXTERNAL SDCARD in your device first! Because the recovery cann't mount the internal sdcard.

There is another way to check whether the root of your device work or not.
Run cmd in Windows or terminal in Linux.
execute the following cmd:
Code:
adb shell
su -
After you input the "su -" cmd, you should have a dialog to allow root access in your device. I.e, the root works. Otherwise, it doesn't work.
BTW, does your device unlocked and flash the HKTW android 2.3.4 rom?

TOO bad, the zip file should be flashed as the normal way to flash rom.
GOTO recovery then choose this zip file to flash.
BTW, you should copy the zip file to the external sdcard first!

It is an OTA or it based with the OTA 2.3.6 of the I9020(a)(t) .. ?
___________________________
edit:
It's an OTA, but the small OTA for the right ROM stock android 2.3.4/.5 and with the recovery android, and not the clockwork.

does this add google wallet?

Hey, I'm seeing a better responsive stock browser after the update.
The issue is discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=873364
The scroll is now usable on pages with big images which wasn't the case before.
I'm so happy, I have a working stock browser again.
Anyone else see the same improvement?
Also do you know of any other bug fixes?

this is OTA update not Full ROM

I did it OTA style and it did not remove root for me. Weird.
Although I'll have to flash CWM again, it seems to be broken.

So, the root is possible on the new version 2.3.6 with the update.zip of chendd ?

I'm wondering the exact same thing.

Tried to flash the update.zip thru CWM but it gives an error. Is this normal?. Maybe have the "stock recovery" is a pre-requisite to flash an OTA update. If not, perhaps I missed something to do.

It happened the same here. I think it would give the same with the stock recovery, I already tried. I restored the very first backup I done right after rooting and it worked flawlessly. Maybe this happens when we give root permissions to apps that don't deserve them
However I lost root and I just re-flashed the superuser zip file.

Nope. I tried what you did. Also pushing the app via dab. Deleting data and cache then deleting the apk and pushing the new one. Every time it said the app could not be found cause it was not installed.
Anyone else have any luck with this?
The only other thing I can think of is replacing it in the rom zip file before flashing.

Can anyone extract the boot.img for 2.3.6 and post it up?
I kind of did something silly and need it!
Previous boot images do not work with 2.3.6.
A
Never mind, sorted!
PS: Just used the superuser file and have successfully rooted 2.3.6 and installed CW Recovery 5 too.
I know the dangers, but **** it, I like having root access!

[LG-H901] Stock ROM, Rooted, with Busybox

Thanks to Mikeyinid and TheJesus for providing the stock img files and flashable recovery zip. I used them more than once on my own device, and got frustrated at having to re-root it every time. To speed things up I decided to create a pre-rooted zip with busybox installed.
Feel free to use it as you see fit. If you format /system before you install this TWRP will warn you that there is no OS installed, but it's wrong, it will boot.

Flash this via TWRP, no wipe should be needed, but it can't hurt.

Forgive the stupid question, but this isn't a flashable stock ROM is it? New to LG so I'm not wanting to jack my phone up stupid.

No problem, it is flashable, almost stock. Check this thread for full stock, without busybox or root if you want to take an OTA update or something.

Almost stock? Are you saying this only because it has root and busybox? It does not overwrite recovery, correct?

yes, exactly. I'm just trying to be clear that it is not completely stock because there have been additional files added to the system image. It will not overwrite recovery, only reflash the system and boot partitions.

This is for the h901 which is the Tmo variant just fyi. So yeah you are good.
WiFi calling works fine. The only thing that breaks it sort off is installing xposed and that only breaks it if you don't have LTE at all. If at home you can use WiFi but it has to see LTE signal as well. If you are In. area with no LTE or if airlane mode on with just WiFi on it wont work.

You have to unlock your bootloader first by sending commands over adb after booting into fastboot then you'll have to download the twrp file and flash that over the stock recovery using adb again

[GUIDE]How to Revert to Stock/Reflash firmware/Unroot[TWRP/NON-TWRP]

Hey Xda,
Today I present you a guide on how to
REVERT TO STOCK OR REFLASH​ firmware on the Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE5550KL.
This guide is applicable to both types of users ie who use TWRP and who don't use TWRP.After following this guide your phone will also be unrooted.
For TWRP Users
Here I give you links to two firmwares which you can directly flash via TWRP recovery.
Version:1.13.40.496
Link
Version:1.17.40.1234
Link
For Stock/Non-TWRP Users
The procedure is a little long here ==>
1. Download the official firmware from asus website.
2. Copy the firmware to the Micro-SD and rename the file (firmware) by one more(version).This renaming should be according to your current firmware version.If you have 17.something firmware and you download 16.something firmware then rename the 16.x.x file to some thing like 17.x.x For eg. if you have 1.17.40.763 then rename 16.x.x file to 1.17.40.764.
3. Reboot the phone.Android should automatically find the update file and offer to automatically update the software.Do it !!
4. Go to stock Recovery and wipe cache , dalvik cache and data.
5. Reboot device. Your phone will now be unrooted(if it was rooted before).
DONT FORGET TO PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON IF I HELPED YOU.

Before going back to stock and re-rooting to see if the issue was still present, I thought I'd ask if this is something to worry about ? I have the ZE551KL (Z00T) and have been flashing for this device with no problems whatsoever. What is it that I did while unlocking , rooting, and flashing twrp that may explain why the build number and device model don't match? Additionally, at times my PC will recognize my device as a MotoG when my device is connected to the PC via USB . I don't have access to my PC right now so I can't say this with certainty, but I think my PC recognises my device as a MotoG only when the device is in TWRP.. Maybe that means something was done wrong while unlocking the bootloader?
