But now any root required app is not working its says your device is not rooted.
plz help me how to root my device?
i have installed CM11 beta 1 ROM on Xperia M Dual..
SOLVED
Boot your phone into recovery and install this zip: http://download.chainfire.eu/382/Sup...erSU-v1.93.zip
after installing the zip
i open root checker app and it stuck on saying ''çhecking if device is rooted''
and then i clear chache of superuser from mannage application
then reboot
now all is welL....

First of all... what changes did you make before you lost your root?
P.S.
I find the best way to root my XM is to boot into CWM.... flash any zip and then use the 'reboot to system' option...
the process will ask you wether to install su in your device.. tap yes.. n VOLLA... your device has full root...:good: :good:

You don't need to install Superuser app as CM11 is already rooted, Uninstall it and install Busybox and then try.

yes i know it is not necessary to install SU on CM11 but my root is not working properly, thats why i install SU from playstore.
and as you said i uninstall the SU app and when i install Busybox it says ''plz root you device''

Try framaroot.... Worked well with the stock...
P.S. use only the Gandalf exploit...

If you don't want to lose your data... You could perform a dirty flash...
I don't recommend it very much... Try it at your own risk....

hey buddy realy thanx for the help
but i cant reflash cm...
i have to root my device first anyway..

Or there is one more thing that may work.....
First unroot the device using framaroot.... Check the root status using root checker app
Second reboot your device.....
Reroot again using framaroot......
This would help only if the su file in the system folder is corrupted

A dirty flash is when you just get into recovery and flash the zip.... Without wiping data and cache...

After rooting the device, did you install a custom recovery? you can download goo manager in the play store and install TWRP recovery and reboot to it. If you already have the recovery installed and cant boot to the recovery then use adb to reboot it. Or another way is download terminal emulator and reboot using command lines from you for...only if you have root.
are you on stock or non stock recovery .. And to get into download mode . As far as i know from a off state hold down vol down and power button . to get into down load mode and its vol up to recovery ..
Not tried on my note but its how it goes on the note 10.1 tablet and other samsung devices i have had

Negative, only stuff I installed after the root was superSU and titanium backup.. both of the paid versions. .. When I power up holding vol+ Home Power instead of any upload option I just get the following
Reboot sys now
Apply update from ADB
Apply update from external storage
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Apply update from cache
Tried wipe data/factory reset to clear the root mod (multi-csc), but basically just wiped my phone of everything else except the root, lol, so at that point I figured I should ask for help..

that is the stock recovery. You need to get root again since u factory reset it. Once u get superSU go to play store and download goo manager to install TWRP or if you prefer CWR then install rom manager.

You don't have to reroot after a factory reset, these aren't iphones (unless you just mean download supersu again) But everything else is correct

copy your desired rom to the SDcard or internal storage and the open goo manager up again and choose reboot to recovery.

reboot again and hold vol up home and power until samsung appears then let go of power, but still hold home and vol up until recovery comes up. from there you can select to install zip ,which would be your rom. make sure to do a clean install (factory data wipe, wipe cache) Then use the instructions the op has up from where you downloaded the rom. should be good to go.

[Q] Lost root

Ok so the story goes like this:
I have stockorama V2
Stock kernel
I was trying to install busybox with busybox installer from the play store, but it said I didn't have root access
So I went to superSU and did the uninstall from the app itself
Rebooted, installed superSU from play store, it told me to update su binary. Then it failed.
when I try to open SuperSU it says that "I don't have su binary... ...that's a problem" and then closes the app
I think I lost root, but I was wondering is there anyway to get it back without a PC.
I still got twrp recovery so I can still flash stuff

You can flash SuperSU via recovery using the link in my signature. Stockorama includes busybox. Don't install it.

Not sure if its any different than Aerowinders, but you can try SuperSU linked in my sig. Or use Superuser, you should find both there.

Flash it in twrp 2.5 I think, did it 2 times... same thing
Its weird because I still get a toast (when I bootup) that lightflow gets superuser permisions; but when I open Titaniumbkp it gets stuck on a message "asking for root rights"
Btw superSU is as a system app so I can't uninstall before flashing the supersu.zip you guys gave me.

You don't uninstall, just flash over the old one. And wipe the data for it also.

Well, make a nandroid backup just in case. I dont suggest using it as it may just bring back the problem. But you will at least have everything backed up if you need it later.
Aside from that, you can use the recoveries built in file manager. Also you could boot into recovery and then try to ADB pull what ever you need.
But I would reflash your rom. You only need to wipe dalvik if it is the same rom you are using now. But if that doesnt fix it you will need to do a factory reset at that point.

[APK] Flash Gordon, Flash Zips without recovery

Flash Gordon​
Flash Zips without a recovery​
This is not my work, I am just sharing it since it is an app worth to install
What is Flash Gordon? ​Flash Gordon is an Android App ( Apk ) that allows you to flash zips without recovery, In simpler terms you can flash those zips you want to install without CWM or TWRP​
Important Note​Since this is just an early development stage of the app, Flash Gordon cannot be used to flash ROMs yet since certain system files crash the phones when they are replaced while the phone is on​
Requirements​- A rooted phone​
Installation​Just install the apk
How do you use flash Gordon
1) Scroll up and choose select zip
2) After that if the zip requires you to wipe anything just check those boxes but if not press flash now
3) Make sure that the zip you are gonna flash has no spaces on the name or periods comma an TM signs otherwise it won't work​
Disclaimer​Use at your own risk, I will not be held responsible for bricked devices or the like​
Downloads​Flash Gordon.apk: http://d-h.st/VIw​
Please hit thanks if it works​

Yep true forgot to mention that and sometimes Flash Gordon doesn't recognize files if the file's name has symbols in it, I had the same problem with flashing a another file so I removed the symbols init such as full stop,dash etc, it worked.

If your phone is DEODEXED then go for it otherwise don't flash SystemUI as it will crash it and get you in bootloop.

Dude I don't think it's a good idea to flash a custom kernel on a locked bootloader + I think you cannot install custom kernel on locked bootloader.

I know, I tested it alerady...
To the people saying that the app only gives half root, have you tried performing the root fix manually without [NUT]'s fixer?
right well it seems i get full root access with towel root .... UNTIL i install superSU then it all just goes to sh!t without superSU i can install busybox etc even flash things with flash gordon but when i install the supersu app NOT the binary (it doesnt let me) apparently im not even rooted anymore.
which would indicate im only half rooted but i have full access and permissions to the system folder and everything else.
does this mean that superSU needs updating to work with towelroot?

And then you will have supersu and have root access. click on supersu and it will ask to install files then it will ask to disable knox. I disables it slow so don't be alarmed. and all done!

After flashing TWRP again, pull battery out when you see “PASS!” in ODIN, then boot straight into recovery by putting the battery back on and using the buttons, you should see TWRP recovery now.

Run cf auto root again and then go on the play store see if there is an update for supersu if not open the app and it might say something like the binary is outdated then it should give you an option to do it normal or twrp or cwm and do the normal one and it should say pass or something like that then to reboot the phone
