Because you're using an old recovery not built on kitkat sources possibly...

Hi

I'm having the same issue.

Stock 4.4.2 boot loader unlocked and rooted following this guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2507905

Installed superSU v1.86 and ClockworkMod v6.0.45

When ever I select reboot from CWM I get

'Root access possibly lost. Fix?
THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE'

When I tried yes fix root I had to reflash the phone.

Any idea how to sort this ?

Thanks

You can turn it off with Philz recovery, which is cwm based

How do you flash a recovery from within recovery ?

Also are CWM nandroid backups compatible with other recovery backups ?

Thx

You find the recovery packaged as a flashable zip and flash it via your current recovery, just as you would with any other zip. Then you reboot recovery.

CWM nandroids are compatible with Philz recovery, but not with TWRP.

Heres the zip: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/hammerhead

Which is the better way to go Philz or RWRP ?

Its subjective. I have my favourite. Other people have theirs.


Cwm can only restore cwm backups. Twrp can only restore twrp backups. Philz does both but being cwm based, takes cwm backups but because philz can also compress backups, it means cwm may not be able to restore philz backups.

Just try them all.

You don't. You flash partition images through the bootloader (fastboot).

No, they only work with CWM and TWRP backups only work with TWRP.

I don't know about PhilZ Touch, but IMHO, TWRP is better than CWM.

    In philz recovery, there is an option to turn off "verify root on exit"

    /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup for philz, as you'd expect (sdcard = /data/media/0)

    Cwm itself uses old code so backs up to /data/media/clockworkmod/backup
