LOST ROOT...Captivate updated to SlimKat 4.4.4

[Tyannt]

I have a Samsung Captivate SGH-i897 that was running 4.3 Slimbean. Updated to
Android 4.4.4 Slim 4.4.4.build.9.0-WEEKLY-8328, Slim_galaxymtd-userdebug 4.4.4 KTU840 8328 test-key, and 3.0.101_NeatKernal_v1.11-g 75f7180. SELinux status=Enforced.

AFter flashing the ROM and Gapps began adding back some apps from the Play Store
and tried to do a backup with Titanium Backup but had NO ROOT ACCESS!
SuperSU reports "no SU binary found and can't load it. This is a problem."

Help! To root again but, how if that's the simple answer
Used Root Checker to check, says NO ROOT. Is it possible it IS STILL rooted and just some other problem?

Root is disabled due of security reasons on SlimRoms builds by default. If you want to enable root do the following:

Unlock developer options -> Go the settings about and tap 7 times on the build number to unlock it. If succesfull you will see a toast message that you have unlocked it.


Then got into Settings->Developer options


Search for root access. And either chose app or app and adb as option


You have now enabled system wide root access.
