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.
Good morning,
I was curious to know if there was a confirmed resolution to the issue of the phone reporting an erroneous battery level when using the systemless root method? I am running the stock rom, but want to use the systemless method for root so that I can use apps like Android Pay.
I have read other threads, and some say use a custom rom, others say use a custom kernel. Can I just flash a custom kernel to fix this? If so, which one?
Thanks, just trying to fix this minor annoyance as simply as possible.
What version of SuperSU are you using?
I put 2.65 on it late last week, but I see 2.66 is out now. Does that fix it? Thanks!
Hello folks!
I have a weird problem with my rooted OPX 3.1.3. I'm still using this version because Xposed is not yet officially supported with the november patch (last time I checked, it was being tested).
I haven't been able to successfully hide supersu and Xposed with Chainfire's SuperSU (even tough I think it's very good!). So, instead, I'm using PHH's SuperSU 266-2 with Magisk v9 (and Xposed 86.6). As expected, I can use Android Pay (by hiding it with Magisk Hide functionality), but after a while, I lose the root access... I don't know what to do to cause the problem, I just know it happens. So, I can't give you a step-by-step to reproduce it, which makes it more difficult to diagnose.
A reboot "fix" this, but it's kind of annoying. As this happened to someone else? What could cause this kind of problem?
Thanks and let me know if you need more info!
Remove magisk manager from greenfy-like apps, close the androidpay app after using anf if possible keep magisk manager opened worked for me
My setup is SuperSU 2.78 SR4, suhide, magisk v9, rootswitch 1.3.3.2 and PoGo and Android Pay works. I used the ramdisk patch. Root is never lost.

Um magisk thosent do anything in that case as supersu is independent from it and su hide is the only thing doing anything in that case

The "losing root" problem with Magisk Hide is known and under investigation. I saw someone claiming that they didn't experience it anymore after doing a complete uninstall of Magisk and starting over. Otherwise, the only solution at the moment is to reboot the device or disable Magisk Hide.

I'm giving him an alternative that works where he doesn't lose root spontaneously and need to reboot to fix.

But magisk in your alternative those nothing it's completely inactive, he would only find magisk useful if he was using another module but not xposed as superSU plus systemless xposed always leads to SN fail

I have same issue. I randomly loose root and I have no idea why. I hope someone can help.
I also will try to disable the magisk hide and see if it helps.

I am having the same problem, but am not using the Magisk hide feature. Have to reboot to restore root - very annoying!
I disabled battery optimization on magisk and super user so we'll see if these fixes it or not.
Edit: as long as magisk hide is on this doesn't seem to help. It's a bug with magisk hide apparently.
I have noticed this twice, and it seems to be related to having the phone die from low battery? This is the only common condition I can recognize with the last two times it has happened.

Yeah, I let it die last night with Magisk Hide off, so that certainly seems to be the issue. I kept root and other modules after I turned it back on.
But even with Magisk Hide on, I never experienced any issues unless the phone died. I had rebooted it a ton of times and never lost any modules. I'm convinced that it has something to do with a "ungraceful" reboot situation and how Magisk Hide must unload itself.
Maybe that's an issue as well but my phone if I pick it up after it's been sitting there and charging or a good amount of battery and try to use root it says there isn't root unless I restart.

Also facing this problem on Nexus 6 (nougat 7.0.1).
In addition to this, when ROOT is lost, Magisk Log is empty.
It happens whatever the day/hour... it just seems to happen after a few hours without using the phone.
- Phone never dead due to battery empty
- android pay DISABLED
- PokemonGO not installed
- Android installed from a Factory Image (november patch NBD91P)
- Magisk V9 + phh_root_r266-2 (the only module)
- magisk hide ENABLED + magisk busybox DISABLED + systemless hosts ENABLED
- greenify installed, but neither Magisk Manager nor SuperSU in the greenified applications

Magisk log is empty because the Magisk Manager can't access the cache folder where it's located (no root, remember ).
It's a known bug, probably due to Magisk Hide being a little too aggressive.
I've noticed that I lose root every time I open Magisk Manager, so I've decided to hide it from to app drawer & have Greenified it in an attempt to stop it from running at all after initial boot - will report back if it works or not.
Edit: so I rebooted and haven't opened the Magisk Manager app since last boot and haven't lost root yet, so, so far so good. (15hrs 30m uptime) - will update if I do.
Edit2: haven't lost root in 2 days now, so looks like a temporary fix?
enabling Magiskhide caused me to lose root
Hi Devs, Community and all of Android's guy.
I have a OP5T and I have received the OTA update some weeks ago. I have already installed Magisk Manager by a Year, and in this I saw many updates. I generally delete all modules and the complete Magisk. After that, I update the System with the OTA and then install Magisk again (I also prefer it for a matter of order and cleanliness). Today, I have decided to unistall Magisk but both through the manager and through the file unistaller.zip it fails with a bootloop after the flash.
Has anyone a solution for this problem?
Or Is there a way for this version to install the ota without uninstalling magisk?
Thanks a lot!
