I see that you have omni. Have you tried reflashing the root from omni thread?

Until now I only followed to the letter that Thread and this is how i jumped from 4.2 to 4.4.2; and in that thread it clearly says if u r upgrading from that update u won't need to wipe so when i got the notification 4 or 5 days ago there is a newer update to 4.2.2 I did and it went smooth only thing that went berserk is it says device ain't rooted.
Dunno wot else to do (I reinstalled like i said above latest TWRP [used to use CWM but if i need to update i will have to wipe everything as the thread says] and Supersu)

tx for the help,
Roger

Hi Roger,

Boy, I don't know how to stress this enough. Before doing anything, make a backup. After you are finished, you should reinstall your programs from the backup manually. Don't do an automatic reinstallation as there are some CM11 Program files that would make the Omnirom installation go into an endless loop.

CM11 has the Su built into it. If you use Omnirom you should first clear your Dalvik Cache and Cache, preferably doing a factory reset before installing your Rom as I mentioned about looping above.. You might want to install a newer Gapps file, as well as flashing a Superuser file-this last is a must with Omnirom

These 3 files should all be installed from your external sdcard. Just be careful not to format either of your sdcards.

Roger
