I have been trying to update SuperSU with the app and its always failing. Also I am trying to use Titanium backup and it keeps telling me I am not rooted. Can anyone please help me fix this issue?
I am also trying to update TWRP, I have it downloaded already just not sure how to do it.
Head back over to the teamwin site for complete instructions on installing and updating TWRP.
Make sure you thoroughly read through the information there.
I don't want to be that guy that tells you to figure it out on your own... but installing a custom recovery can cause serious problems if you don't understand the process.
On the note of SuperSU... Which version are you on, and how did you install it the first time?

I have an HTC EVO with software Hardware version 003, 3.29.651.5, S-OFF and HBOOT-0.97.0000. I have tried both update files I could find for 3.70.651.1:
OTA_supersonic_3.70.651.1-3.30.651.3_releasekobxwrvtv9q86pp0.zip
OTA_Supersonic_3.70.651.1-3.29.651.5_releasezq9ss6wyobuo26b5.zip
Neither works as both give errors upon applying update.zip in the recovery menu. "Error 7" and "sd install error" appear with tons of other odd text which don't really form many words. What is really odd is last time my phone was rooted and the update was released I simply did the method above like normal and everything went great. Then once it was done i re-rooted! Not this time though...
I have also tried directly downloading the update to my phone via htc update and installing but I get started and it quickly goes to a frozen yellow triangle icon which then I must pull the battery. My dilemma?
I wanted to try using the file my phone downloads from htc directly but i am unable to find the file on my phone? I have searched with astro file explorer and tried every search strong possible. I searched the SD and then tried to search the main phone memory. The phone says it stores it somewhere in the memory but doesn't say where? Does anyone know where it does? I wanted to try this and see if it will update.
I am basically looking to update and I could care less about root as I can redo it after the update. The big issue is that I want my phone to stay the way it is with no deletion of ANY DATA such as messages, apps, etc... I simply want to update and re-root like I did last time and I can't figure out why it won't let me? I don't want to have to flash a new stock ROM and lose everything or have to use a backup program to do what i did so easily last time.
The new version of unrevoked 3.3 is out so I want to update and be done. Perhaps the root is causing it and can I un-root and then re-root after the update? I hate that HTC released multiple versions of the same phone as updates become extremely tricky now and dangerous. Than You for any help you can provide.

if you are rooted then you should be using a rooted 3.70.651.1 rom to update. DO NOT do OTAs
I've seen took many people posting threads recently about trying to do the 3.70 ota and thinking they will just reroot after, they all have problems, my suggestion is to grab the radio/pri/nv/wimax update combo and flash it, then flash sprint lovers 3.70 after wiping cache and dalvik. you will still have root and all your apps with the newest software
make a backup in Ra beforehand just in case
Thanks for the quick reply's but I simply want to update like normal. If I can't get root then I can't get root but at least get me to update without overwriting my whole phone and having to make backups of EVERYTHING! Thanks...
Do this...

I don't like flashing ROMs either. This will let you update.
Do a little more digging and you will find the answers. I admit it took me a little bit to find this l when I updated.
I don't understand why my phone just won't update? I don't really want to flash but thanks for the info. Does anyone know where the EVO stores the updates it downloads? If anyone could please provide me with more info that would be great.
The reason it won't update is because you have a custom recovery. You need to flash the stock recovery to allow you to update.
If you follow the link above it will let you do what you want keeping all your data and upgrading like normal. Just need to flash the stock recovery back. This is as long as you did unrevoked forever.
The downloaded updates are stored in the phones file system under /cache. You need to be able to mount your file system as rw to be able to access. If you don't know how to do that you can find both of the OTA updates on the web and download them. Have to have the correct one for the version you are currently on. The Evo's were at two different revs for this last update.
Even if you find the OTA update and try to apply it from your custom recovery it will not work.
Dig a little more and if you cannot find them I will find the links again, didn't save 'em.
Very good post and I am wondering the same thing. I haven't tried the stock recovery image thing yet but might soon. It was very easy to install the OTA update last time and then just reinstall the recovery image and superuser app. I bet it is not working because they changed the hboot in this version. I too haven't updated yet since I don't like losing my data and potentially missing something. I will probably just say screw it in a couple of weeks once I get time though and just flash the rooted version of the update.

Sorry doesn't work for me! It gets about 1/4 updating and then goes to the red triangle icon and never turns off. I did everything the guide said. I have the original recovery and S-OFF. What do I do now as I simply want to update and not lose my data!

You know you can flash the rooted updates without losing your data right?

Just flash a rooted copy of the stock ROM and only wipe the cache and dalvik. If you leave your data intact it will save all your settings.
I've been updating this way since I rooted about a month after the phone came out.
WTF!?
Can you point me to a step by step guide xHausx? And this would keep my caller ids, apps, internet files, themes, preferences, etc?

1. Download a Rooted 3.70 Stock Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874251)
2. Copy Downloaded rom to your SDCard
3. Reboot to Recovery
4. Wipe Cache
5. Wipe Dalvik-Cache
6. Flash the Zip you copied to your SDCard
7. Reboot
8. Done
Do Not Wipe Data, or you will lose what you are trying to keep.
I'm just curious. The 3.70.651.1 update you were trying to use. Where did you try to DL it from. I think you were using the wrong file.
If you are rooted you should have tried to use these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874251
For some reason teshx set that ROM up to wipe data.. you'll have to open the zip and change it.
look in it for meta-inf\com\google\android\update-script file and open that, at the top you will see it say "format DATA:". Just delete that, save, zip and flash.
Why that is set up like that I have no idea
sekigah84 I got it from Sprint via my phone. So it had to be right.
Khilbron & xHausx thanks for the info I'm going to take my nandroid backup and give this a try! I'll post back my info! Also will this update my radios, and other pertinent system files?
damn man you really like your phone stock, and i guess you dont have time to read all 9 stickys helping root people, so we'll just need to fill you in
the bottom line: flash a custom rom and you will never want to go back. NEVER OTA WITH ROOT OR YOU COULD GET SCREWED BADLY. even a stock-ish custom rom like mikfroyo is better than stock. titanium backup will backup all apk's and data. or you can just not wipe data.
flash myns.
just do it
you wont regret it
or just stick with stock.
I am trying to flash frostyjb to get rid of the bloatware but when I boot into twrp and tried to make a backup it said unable to mount data and it showed 0 mb free space
So far I have used the toolkit to root flash twrp, is there anything additional I need to do before I can flash it?
Same problem here, seemed to flash and backup fine when data is deselected, but I was just trying to flash some mods and it was killing the install. :/
Xquizit v3 and TWRP 2.3.1.1
Have you found a fix for this? I am having the exact same problem.
i have not found a solution yet, i was hoping someone with more experience in the field would help us for this situation
i haven't been able to play with the phone as i have a problem set on buffer overloading i need to finish before i get time to play with the phone (been an iphone user for past 5 years, very new to all these rooting and recovery stuff)
I was able to fix the mount issues with my phone…I already had root but had mount issues…. here is what I did …
I just downloaded GooManager from the market and let it install the new version of TWRP
I opened GooManager then selected Flash ROM’s
Received a popup asking if I had a compatible recovery I clicked “Find one for me”.
GooManager found a new version of TWRP (openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1- T0ltemo.imj) and installed it.
Then rebooted into Recovery and was able to do a backup with out and problems.
This is what worked for me I am not an expert so if you do try it it’s at your own risk.
Well I'll be damned that worked, even though it was the same TWRP version I had already installed.

TWRP in the toolkit was for international Note II. Team Win just recently got the mount points and partition information for our phones and were able to make an official release for us.
Fixed it for me too - Bell Note 2. Thanks! Yeah, I was using the one in the toolkit as well and ran into this issue, installing from goomanager fixed it! Now I can safely MESS THE HELL UP out of my phablet!
Old post but ongoing issue as well for many...
For those experiencing this DATA 0 sum and unable to mount DATA on a rooted S7 Edge device if upgrading to Oreo.
I had this issue and solved it by re-installing CF-Auto Root from h*ttps://desktop.firmware.mobi/ without the asterisk*.
Simply follow the instructions to create the CF-Auto root files for your particular device and run it thru ODIN .
My DATA count reappeared after the ODIN was completed. Now I'm able to backup my ROM as well as the DATA.
Hope this helps a few souls on XDA.
I recently rooted my LG Optimus G (LS970)
You probably know the difficulties with this phone when it comes to rooting.
I used ZV9-ZVB Universal Root to root my phone. It went off without a hitch but as you may know, you need FreeGee app to install a recovery ROM. (I chose TWRP)
After downloading my chosen ROM to flash, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515345) I downloaded Titanium Backup.
Oddly, it said I did not have root. Shortly afterwards, I realized I don't have Super User app installed. I forgot to flash it when I was flashing Gapps and the main ROM.
So, my question is how can I fix this? FreeGee won't upload due to not having root.
Would I have to start from "re-rooting" my phone through ZV9-ZVB Universal Root and proceed from there?
It's a fully working phone...it's just I may not be able to do anything else with it for the rest of it's existence...
Your thoughts?
Thanks.

Actually, unlocking, and especially rooting is quite easy. You just choose a complicated Rom to install.
Try flashing any other ROM except the 2 KK's until you're use to this phone.
You'll need to do some reading, but in a nutshell...you need to reinstall root, install a special TWRP recovery, use a certain GAPP's, and possibly install a different APN.

Thank you for the input. I'll try this tomorrow. Getting late where I'm at and I need to make sure I have a working phone for work.
Wish me luck...

Good Luck.
I forgot to answer the rest of your questions. But I think you figured it out. If you still have TWRP recovery, then just flash a different ROM. If not, FreeGee may work for you again. And if not that, then LGNPST, teeny bins or the full bin files. Info in teeny bin thread in Additional info, Or the irc
Well, I feel stupid...I went into recovery mode (almost by accident, it seems) and installed Super User zip file I downloaded earlier.
Thank you all so much for your help and input. Forgive me for I'm very new to the Root World.
So I posted a thread here months ago asking for help but got no help so I'm trying again. Basically the official kitkat update from samsung severely messed up my tablet to the point where it's almost unusable. My question is, is there any way i can do like an ultimate, complete wipe of the tablet? Like wipe partitions, recovery, everything?
I've tried installing nolekat and tranchidakat with still the same problems. I've flashed both the jellybean stock rom and the kitkat stock rom through odin with still the same problems. I even clicked re-partition under odin hoping that would help but still no luck.
Also the problems I'm having are constant reboots, processes and apps just stopping such as systemui, settings, and basically all of my system apps and apps installed from the playstore.
This is a very irritating problem I'm having to the point where I just wanna destroy my tablet. I don't have the money to send it to samsung so I've been trying to find another solution.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!
I maybe not have the answer but the reason. How did you update you device kies or OTA. If a custom recovery was install your device it's maybe brick. Me i probably test something like flash a custom recovery only and them flash a rom through to there. Or search to unbrick flash somethings like that.

It was an OTA. I had no custom recovery installed prior to the update
So I was getting tired of the rom I was on and decided to switch. I am using the BUMP'd twrp by the way. I did something really stupid. I restored the stock rooted rom while searching. Apparently it auto updated. I can now no longer get past twrp recovery no matter what i do, restore, reinstall, wipe everthing. If someone can link me to a guide using adb to flash a stock iso or something? Please help this is my everyday device.
Rule one to flashing: never flash without a backup. It sounds like something went wrong but if you can actually get into TWRP you should be able to flash either an older backup (easiest) or wipe and reinstall your current ROM. If youre wanting to go to marshmallow anyway (And as someone that has used their G3 from Jellybean all the way through to marshmallow, I cant recommend it enough), see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/stock-d855-30b-images-kdz-flashables-t3282012
Autoprime was nice enough to pack it into 3 seperate flashable zips. Follow those instructions TO THE LETTER.
IF you can't get into TWRP for whatever reason google "D855 6.0 marshmallow official update" and find something that shows you how to do it with the official flash tool supplied by LG. Can't link it cos im not sure if im allowed to link to outside websites here.

not only did i use backups i een tried to install a new rom. nothing worked. thats why i was trying to get a tutorial on what to do from here.
