[Q] Can I re-root without losing all my data?

bloodletting284 · Jun 17, 2014

My nexus was bootloader unlocked and rooted while on 4.4.2.
I OTA updated to 4.4.3 and lost my root.
Is there a way to re-root the phone without losing all my data or having to wipe?

Thanks in advance for the info.

Yes, flash a custom recovery or just boot into it and flash the supersu.zip.

Unless you flash Philz recovery where you can just root from within the recovery menu

Well it seems like for some reason it reverted back to stock android recovery.
Could I still flash a custom recovery and go from there?

The reason is the OTA contained a recovery. You have to flash a recovery as already mentioned earlier in the thread
