I rooted my Sprint LG G3 a couple weeks ago, and everything was fine. I was able to use Titanium Backup and a few other apps that need root access. Now when I try to use Rec., a screen recording app that needs root access, it says it doesn't have it.
StumpRoot shows it as rooted. SuperSU says it can't find an su binary and can't install one.
What can I do to fix it?

Stump root does not show up
Hi, I accidentally iuninstalled root using super su in my lg g3 while trying to find an unroot solution for another phone... Because I'm stupid lol. I tried to reinstall root using stump but like my title says it won't show up in the app drawer after I reinstall stump... Please help because I don't know how else to reinstall root for my phone... I can't do anything without root ! Thank you.

If you still have recovery, you should be able to just flash a rom.
If you don't, read the FAQ. When you unroot, you'll need to start from scratch. Stump is our only root and it only works the first time. Or when it's clean.
I never installed a custom recovery like TWRP OR the one that starts with C... I just have the stock room recovery and I don't see an option to flash a rom. What can I do here?....

I would suggest following instructions on downgrading to ZV4 (since stump root works for force brute in order to root your phone).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...g-g3-ls990-t2852042/post54912191#post54912191
Once you fully restore back to default stock, you will need to go ahead and install stump root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906
It will allow you to brute force root, which should take about 5 minutes.
After you reboot, you should have root. Go to the market and download supersu. From there you should be able to have root access. From there you need to download TWRP (my choice of recovery) http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-2-8-2-0-t2966129
Once that's done, you should be able to reinstall you ROM and profit.
This is all from SCRATCH as you suggested.

greetings. i apologize in advance if my thread is not in the correct place.
damn my curiosity. i clicked the "temp unroot" in superuser and it unrooted my phone. bootloader is still unlocked, as well as recovery, but i don't have root access for apps. i can't uninstall and reinstall SU without root... am i screwed?
i'm hesitant to do another one click root process. mainly because it said it would delete all the data on the phone while unlocking the bootloader. but my bootloader is still unlocked...
also, will installing my latest nandroid backup restore root access?
thanks!

What makes u think u lost root?? You can install su from the market.. I think all you need to do is installed su, or supersu from the play store and you should be good to go.. I just looked at this setting is supersu and it says clean up to unroot.. Try reinstalling su... Or restoring a backup could do it too..

Only the software can be "rooted" the term refers to superuser or admin access, root access to special privledges not available to regular users. The device software itself is exploited to allow a Rom root access. The device can be exploited for soff (security off) or the bootloader is unlocked allowing for access to write to the partitions in nand memory. In the case of HTC bootloaders they only allow partial write access to partitions, unofficial/unsigned recoveries do not have access to boot or misc partitions (kernel/firmware)
In response to op in superuser temp unroot is just an option to temporarily hide root, you should be able to just open the app and re-enable. Should that fail try supersu instead, there is a flashable zip on the dev's website that is flashed from recovery and should restore root access using supersu in place of superuser

Again words tossed around a lot. He hasn't lost anything he just removed root. He's fine if his recovery is intact. My assumption is that he feared he was back to stock then again I could be wrong besides root is a folder directory. Thanks for filling the op in.

Again its just an option to temporarily hide root, its not lost. You open the app go to settings and check temp unroot and to get it back, all that is needed is to uncheck temp unroot and restart phone. If it doesn't work which it should then reflash superuser or supersu in recovery to reenable admin access
Hello! I am new here. I have the same problem. I tried temp unroot just out of curiosity and now I think it is really permanently unrooted, because the temp-unroot checkox is no longer checked. I used the root checker and it says "Sorry! The device is not properly rooted". What does that mean? And only Titanium Backup asks for superuser permission. Whenever I use the Link2sd or Root Explorer, they don't ask for superuser permission and I get the error that my phone is not rooted.

I am new to the whole rooting process But I rooted my s4 and it seemed like it rooted fine but then I lost the root after restarting .After backtracking I found out that I didn't update the binaries on Super SU and if I try to do it now it says installation failed. When I reboot the phone the Android with the unlock comes up, but when I run root checker it says not rooted. Should I just start the root steps all over again from the beginning( can I even do that without bricking the phone) or is there a certain part of the process I should continue from safely? Thx in advance guys!

Next time, you could just install custom kernel, download a rooting flashable zip file and install it via kernel's Recovery. I do it often, because I prefer to use Clockworkmod's Superuser and by that zip file, I avoid any kind of problems.

hi
you are not obliged to use superuser app you can use supersu (from play store) , keep in mind that you have to update the binaries from superuser or supersu in order for root to work , you should also chack that usb debuging is checked on your phones developer options otherwise root wont work .

yeah there should be no problem with rooting your phone twice, i dont think you have root access right now.
Also please be respectful to other members, instead of
You could ask that you didn't understand and asked for a better explanation.

Haha, maybe it's a little bit chinglish so he cannot get what i said.
I own an Honor 5x, which I used to have rooted running a TWRP recovery and SuperSU. I wanted to update my phone to marshmallow, but it was an OTA update so i had to unroot and go back to the original bootloader. I did everything needed and got my phone upgraded to marshmallow, and was then hoping i could play pokemon go, but for some reason i am getting the error where it says the game does not support my device, the exact same one that i got when i was rooted. i double checked that i was unrooted by downloading literally every single root checking app on the play store, and all of them have classed my phone as unrooted. i dont want to root my phone again as i have nox for rooted stuff now, and it was a hassle extracting th e recovery.img from the update file as noboby else had it, so i was wondering someone here could help me
thanks in advance!:good:

OTA update does not wipe the entire phone, you need to download the full update and manually wipe your phone and install the Full update to totally remove SuperSu.
You could also uninstall SuperSU from the apps settings before taking the OTA to avoid this problem

So what should I do now, I had already downloaded the update thinking it would fix it. I guess I try to manually uninstall it, seeing as the supersu app has already gone?

It won't let me enter the supersu app it's telling me there's no supersu binary.

No, I have a stock recovery ATM, to play Pokemon go you need to be unrooted but somehow I am detected as rooted

Two possible ways imo...
If you don't want to root then
Extract and manually flash stock boot.img, Cust.img and system.img and you are good to go without any data loss (but make a backup to be sure if something goes wrong).
Second is to root your phone, and use an app like 'hide my root' to hide your root from Pokemon go and you are good to go.
The third is to root and unroot using the inbuilt function of SuperSU.
