so I installed the latest CM12 Droid 4, and for some reason it's telling me I'm not rooted.
I was rooted in 4.1.2 using the razr utility for the XT894.
I first flashed original firmware
then did step 3 (root)
then installed safestrap using a 3.75 download link.
booted into recovery, installed latest CM12 nightly...
... but i can't get root access?
How do I restore root access now that I'm on 5.0.x?
Yes, I ENABLED root access in developer options. Still won't give root access.
Root Checker says:
Root access: no access
Su Found: system/xbin, system/bin
Hi,
After flashing CM12.1 you need to flash SuperSU:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Actually, I didn't have to do that. I just started over again. I did try flashing SuperSU by downloading the APK they have linked on the playstore page, through SafeStrap Install ZIP function, but it didn't work.
I went with the Razr Utility and installed 4.1 with wipe. then reinstalled root. then I went and installed safestrap 3.75, followed by lollipop.
all is well now.
I think the cable extension i was using was causing packet loss issues of somesort, as i can touch the cable end and it cuts in and out. But the root process said it was completed successfully. I think it just didn't go through the cleaning process and left files over that caused a root loss of some sort.
It seems to be fine now.
Cm12 has it's own root, and is different from stock rom.
When device is in twrp recovery, it doesn't matter if Rom is Rooted or not.
Guessing it was a bad cm12 install, you didn't need to reflash firmware, just reboot to twrp, reinstall the Rom.
May need to redownload the Rom, and verify the md5 checksum.
To root Rom in twrp use
SuperSu flashable zip (UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.45.zip - 28 Jan 2015)

if you look at my second post, I said I tried to install the SuperSU binary using recovery, and it did not do anything.
I just reinstalled the rom after wiping the partition to avoid any issues.

Hey everyone
I've been using the XT1053 Retail US Stock Lollipop Flashable ZIP without issue for quite a while, but decided to update to the modded version 2. So I flashed it, xposed, and supersu again. Booted up, everything was okay. But then it said I needed to update my supersu binary and that I didn't have root, so I went to reboot into recovery and flash supersu once more.
However, now I can't access TWRP and it merely says "no command"
Should I just try installing TWRP again or is there a way to see if it's still installed? It's weird that this happened after flashing a rom
edit: reflashed twrp recovery img, back to normal. Can't explain what caused this though
I just unlocked my bootloader, and rooted my Nexus 6, and installed TWRP 3.0.0 using the Nexus Root Toolkit.
I just installed Adaway, and unrooted it, cus I use a lot of banking apps.
But the question is, when I want to re-root it, could I just flash supersu zip with the custom recovery and that's it?
or do I have to do the root process all over again?
I remember using TWRP 2.8.6.0 on the oneplus one, and when I rebooted it from the custom recovery, it said something like
'It seems like supersu is not installed would you like to install it?' or something like that.
and 'yes' would re-root it, that simple.
it seems like TWRP 3.0.0 doesn't have that.
Thanks
You don't really want to try to root using the built-in option in TWRP - with the newer Android builds (6.x), that won't work - you need to use the current version of supersu that modifies the boot img - I prefer the systemless version.
Glad to hear that TWRP 3.x has removed the prompt for installing supersu.
You should be able to reroot.
I agree with the above, keep systemless root in twrp's readytoflash folder and boot into twrp and flash that zip as you need it.

I think I remember (but not sure) that I read that TWRP 3 is smart enough not to suggest the root option when SuperSU systemless is installed, whereas the older versions tempted unwary users to root their already-rooted device and screwed it up in the process. Smart piece of programming to remove the misleading option.
root > flash kernel (boot.img) and then supersu 2.68 (latest)
un-root > flash kernel
thats it
I'm running CM 13 nightly with TWRP recovery, trying to get root access.
When I enable root through developer options in the rom, it doesn't work, according to root check.
When I flash Super SU Beta 2.68 through recovery is says partway through installation it says "decompressing ramdisk; failure, aborting"
Flashing v. 2.46 causes a bootloop.
Anyone have any ideas why I can't get root?
Thanks!

Never flash supersu on CM! You should reinstall CM just incase flashing supersu messed something up.
You should never flash supersu on a custom rom, they usually come pre-rooted.

Hi. I've successully install TWRP using adb+fastboot.
Now, I want to install root.
I've downloaded supersu.zip file and placed it on my internal root storage.
Then I boot into twrp and flash it with Install zip.
All things seems to be done well.
I reboot: no root, no superSu app.
Any help?

Redownload root or try older or newer version. Try again. It should root your phone or download a rom they come rooted
I need this rom in order to unlock the device with the "device unlock" app. I've tried 10 times already, having the same result. Changed supersu versions a couple of times.
Have you tried version 2.79?

My device is BLU Dash X2 ( D110L ) running android 6.0 with Kernel Version 3.18.19.
It's an MTK phone ( MT6580 ).
I managed to port and flash TWRP custom recovery by myself and it's working find. So I decided to flash SuperSU.zip with it. Everything seem to be working perfectly but after the flashing finished and I tried to open SuperSU app a message pop up with text "There is no SU binary Installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem. If you just upgraded to android 5.0 you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!".
Please help me find a solution. I tried many version of SuperSU.zip already but the same message still appear. I also tried remove SuperSU app first before re-flash SuperSU.zip. I even tried to perform a clean stock rom flash before flashing latest SuperSU.zip and it's still the same.
I have the same phone, also managed to port TWRP, working fine after edit fstab, but no way I can root this device.
Tried with phh s SuperUser instead supersu, but no avail.
My biggest regret was buy this fone, it works fine but seems impossible to root.
Sorry for late update, you can root this device with magisk, successfully done with magisk v18.00
