Hello -
I followed the three video tutorial on how to get rid of the Amazon ads, stop OTA updates. That worked fine.
I have been loading up apps when I noticed that one of the apps could not work cause it needs root access. Root Checker showed my phone was not rooted.
Confused cause I thought I rooted, then followed the videos exactly to get rid of the ads, finalized by doing a factory reset.
Any ideas? Should I just try to root the again? Follow video 1? I do have TWRP installed.
Thanks

I've been trying to use KF First Aide and it's saying I've got root, but when I run rootchecker, it's saying it's not rooted. When I try starting superuser, it says the binaries werent there and it can't install them. I tried using KFFA's option to install the Play store, but of course it's not even showing on my kindle.
How can I just wipe the whole thing and start over from the beginning? Can anyone give me a list of exactly what I need to DL (and where to get it) to root and get all of the Google services up and running?
I've been going through the root threads and it's just running me to other threads and I'm going in circles and nothing is working.
Thanks for your help!
Me Too!!!
I am having exactly the same problem. I ended up finally doing a full factory reset from within the KFHD7's settings, and trying to re-root via First Aide (4.1.83beta) and it is doing NOTHING!!! I have done every little thing I can think of and am stumped. Without root, my Kindle is worthless to me.

Guys just use TowelRoot google search it and it would come up it the best root for G flex on 4.4.2 if you need a link let me know
UPDATE: here is the link you need to put in your phones browser http://towelroot.com/\
I have tried to use towel root, but it does not allow me to root it as it says device not supported. But thank you for your response.

towlroot says says unsupported im on 4.4.2
Last night I went to open Titanium Backup and was notified that I didn't have root. I've been rooted with ioroot for over a year now without issues. Root Checker app confirmes root was lost. SuperSu gave binaries error.
HOWEVER, in About Phone > System Status it was still showing as 'Rooted'. I'm still on 4.2.2 / VS98011A. All I've done is update the same ol' apps I've had for months.
What gives? Anybody have any ideas why this would happen?
The only thing I can think of is when SuperSu updated recently it asked to use TWRP (instead of the 'normal' method) to run a script to update binaries which I obliged. It seemed to struggle with that.
Anyway, I did use TowelRoot this time since I was too lazy to refresh my memory on the ioroot process. It worked fine however I've had a few random locks and a random reboot. I never had those issues before.
Any insight would be appreciated.

Do you have TWRP installed? If so try to get it to reflash the binaries again.

After rerooting with towelroot, i uninstalled SuperSu. Then reinstalled SuperSu and choose install binaries via 'normal' method. That appears to have worked fine.
My question relates to why did I lose su/root functionality in the first place? Is this known to happen sometimes with app updates, (not just system/os/ota updates)? That has me concerned.

I would assume not installing the SuperSU binary updates correctly broke SuperSU. You didn't lose root per say, you broke SuperSU which apps need to be able to run as root.
Hello,
I'm having issues with my new tablet. I followed the instructions outlined here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/development/wip-achieving-root-thread-t3238152
And achieved root. All was well, but about 24 hours later, my tablet decided to restart, and when it rebooted, I no longer seemed to have root access. I then confirmed this with a root checker app. I still had the Google Play store, and the SuperSU app however. I checked using a file explorer and I still have an su file under /system/xbin.
I tried a reboot using the same method as above, but it seems to be failing because the files already exist. I tried uninstalling the SuperSU app using the full unroot option inside the app, but it simply says 'uninstalling, please wait' for a few seconds and then goes back to the home screen, SuperSU still there. I then attempted to restore to factory defaults, but alas the app remains and I am still unable to reboot (as well as losing all my data sadly). I am getting a drop down notification telling me that 'the SU binary needs to be updated' but that installation fails as well.
I'm unsure how to proceed trying to reroot my device, and feel stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, I'm not sure what caused the device to restart and me to lose my root in the first place. From what I've read trying to figure this out, an OTA update may of caused me to lose my root, so I'm also wondering if there's anyway to prevent this from happening again if I can regain root.
Thanks
Disable OTA

1. Disable updates, link one post up
2. Root in TWRP

Hello,
I recently used the toolkit to unlock and root my Sprint N6. Super user was installed and works. I installed Rootcheck after everything was complete and it verifies that the phone is rooted. I have installed Nexus 6 double tap to wake and LED control and both state that the phone is not rooted. Super user shows both those apps have super user access.
What am I missing? Thank you!!

you will also need to install busybox as well, as many root apps need it. install from the play store, then install from the app. search busybox in the play store, then choose stericsons version.

Thank you for the reply, Sorry I failed to mention I do have the move listed busy box installed as well. I have clicked on install from within the app as well. Still none of the mentioned root apps work, all say phone appears to not be rooted...

try flashing the supersu 2.71 with twrp recovery, you should have root when you boot up. dont use the toolkit.
simms22,
I flashed version 2.71 through recovery, after reboot it was installed. Same "phone does not appear to be rooted" when trying to use the root apps... Root check still says phone is rooted. This is puzzling!

very odd! tell me, which rom are you using? and did you wipe your data before rooting? if not, you might have to wipe your data then reflash your rom/gapps, and supersu.
I am stock rooted. Yes I wiped data and started from scratch after unlock and root.

when you try to use a root app, so you get a little popup that asks you to give the app root? do yoh have the supersu app installed as well?
Yes SuperSU 2.71 flashed, the popup comes up and I grant access. Then each app says not rooted. Makes zero sense... The apps even show up in SuperSU app.
Yes, there is a popup and I have granted SU access to the above root apps, still no joy. I have SuperSU 2.71 flashed and installed, Root check verifies root.
I had this. The fix is to uninstall Busybox and reinstall into an alternative directory where it can be found. Mine appears to work fine in /su/bin, but if that doesn't work for you try the others (/system/xbin, /system/bin etc.)
It may not even need to be uninstalled - you could just try installing into the different directories until you find the one that the root apps are checking for root, though I'm not sure whether that would clutter your device with redundant binaries. I'm sure someone will be able to advise on that.
