[Q] lost root access - Omni Q&A

Hi, forgive me if this is a stupid question but after flashing the latest t0lte nightly I have lost root access.
How has this happened?
I've been flashing CM nightlies for weeks but fancied a change after reading up about omnirom.
Im running an international note 2 LTE using cwm, rooted with Odin.
How do I get root access back? Is it case of me having to flash via Odin again?
More than grateful for any help here!
Cheers

Flash SuperSU in recovery
We haven't yet integrated SuperSU into the package itself, and fixing that has been low priority since:
1) You can't flash Omni without a custom recovery
2) If you have a custom recovery that can flash Omni, you can flash SuperSU in recovery
3) Once you've flashed SuperSU, you can go to its Settings->Custom ROM and enable the backup script

Ok, i've pulled the superSU zip from chainfire and flashed it, however it is giving me a error message.
"There is no SU binary installed and superuser cannot install it. This is a problem!"
So I am unable to run step 3
Please help :crying:
Cheers again :good:

Thank you but I don't want to void my warranty unlocking bootloader that's why I asked how to root without it...
In my opinion it's not fair selling device without unlock and then put lock on it.

I had that error too when I was trying. I was on D80010q before the 4.4.2 update(D80010c after update I think). Looks like you have the same issue I had.
I'm pretty sure the only way to root it now is to downgrade the firmware, then root. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2633150
Also: Mid-way through this is the ansewer. You must downgrade before rooting. (the link above is to downgrade & root).

THIS WORKS ONLY WITH D802 16GB VERSION!!!!!!!!!!!
NOT ALLOWED TO POST LINKS YET, REPLACE * with o
First, you need a custom recovery, and root. Boot into recovery, full wipe (dalvik, cache, data, system) DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE!!!!!!
When wiped, flash this: mega.c*.nz/#!upAC2QpZ!G08w-r4i95pW7y3YWD1emw_vEwM1fLp4JmFRVK4PO-Y
Flash will take a while. it will say it is failed with loki, you do not care. AFTER FLASH DO NOT REBOOT! GO BACK AND WIPE DATA AGAIN, than flash SUPERSU: mega.c*.nz/#!i5glXYIa!bEqAnNTJIT7sm4iMjiKx3rSMymhWvUhAfew0EC6wcTQ
REPLACE * with o in link (not allowed to post links
When it is done, reboot, enjoy rooted KK )

PS: You will lose custom recovery, but you will be rooted.

Can't root OnePlus 2

I've unlocked my bootloader and installed twrp, but when I want to flash the superSu zip, my device stucks in booting (bootloop). Is there any fix for that.
Hello.
Have you got a conflicting app? Possibly. If so try systemless?
Are you flashing official latest? Is your twrp the latest as well. Have you tried installing the app and seeing if it do it that way?
---------- Post added at 06:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 PM ----------
Also not to call you a lier or daft. Are you sure! You've unlocked, have you gone into settings, unlocked oem ticked from there?
Im sorry I'm just covering all bases .

Please be more clear. What version of TWRP is flashed. What ROM are you currently on? also what version of SuperSu did you flash?
So, I just found special modified zips for the One Plus 2 and it worked fine with them. I don't know what was wrong with the Orginal files, but I don't care.

Wanting to root my phone. first phone ive ever rooted but I read a lot n know the dos n donts. But I cant seem to get it to work. I keep reading once you start the root with odin its supposed to have a red anroid icon on your phone. but instead it just stays at the blue downloading screen. and it always gets stuck at recovery.img I was hoping someone could help me root it, or find a guide for my phone. I would really appreciate it. My phone model is SM-G903W, Provider is Telus, its updated to Android 7.0.

Flash in odin AP section

Or
Flash a custom rom & then flash magisk

I'd guess it would be the following for g903w s5 neo lte
https://dl.twrp.me/s5neolte/twrp-3.2.3-0-s5neolte.img.tar.html
Put in AP section of odin
As soon as the device restarts hold power button Vol up & home button to enter recovery
If you miss the moment to enter recovery for the first time after flashing & your phone boots you will have to reflash the image until you enter twrp for the first time

I managed to get TWRP installed. I tried to install Lineage 15.1 as per this site:
https://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums...-for-galaxy-s5-neo-android-8-1-oreo-download/
and am now stuck in a loop. It installed successfully with no errors but will stay stuck on the Lineage loading screen then revert back to recovery.
Any ideas what may be causing this? Should I install 14.1?

Correct process for flash rom
In twrp
Goto wipe
Advanced wipe
Wipe system data cache delvik/art cache
Install
Select rom zip
Install
Select gapps zip - use mind the gapps arm for lineage os 15. 1 http://downloads.codefi.re/jdcteam/javelinanddart/gapps
Optional install
Select root zip (use magisk)
Wipe delvik/art cache
Restart
If you didn't follow the above that's why it would bootloop
Hi, I'm wanting to root my s5 neo on 7.0 and like you, I'm also and finding it very difficult to find a guide that has a successful ending
I'm new to all this but I did notice that you tried to install lineage 15.1 for sm-g903F but your device is sm-g903w. Could that be your problem?
Have you successfully rooted your device yet?
To be honest I don't really want root, I just want to extract or atleast view all my saved wifi network passwords from the device.
