Facing issues with your device's root access after attempting to restore a factory image using KernelSU? This guide aims to help you understand potential causes and solutions for losing root privileges after a KernelSU restore and subsequent reboot.
It's crucial to understand that the process of restoring a factory image with KernelSU can potentially wipe your device's modifications, including root access. This often happens because factory images are meant to be in their original, unmodified state.
**Why did I lose root?**
Several factors could contribute to losing root access after restoring a factory image with KernelSU:
* **Incomplete Image Restoration:** The factory image restoration process may not have fully completed, leading to inconsistencies that affect root access.
* **Incorrect Reboot Procedure:** The way you rebooted after selecting the new system slot might have inadvertently discarded any lingering root permissions.
**Re-rooting Your Device**
Re-rooting your device may be necessary if the root access isn't restored automatically. Remember, each device and manufacturer has specific rooting methods.
**Steps to Verify and Re-Root (general advice, always research device-specific methods):**
* **Check Current Root Status:** Use a root checker app to confirm if your device is indeed rooted again.
* **Follow Designated Rooting Guide:** Refer to trusted guides and tutorials specifically designed for your device model for the most reliable rooting instructions.
**Remember:** Rooting your device can potentially void your warranty and may expose it to security risks. Proceed cautiously and only if you understand the implications.
It's highly recommended to create a backup of your important data before attempting any rooting or factory image restoration procedures.
