::sigh::
I just got a new (to me, refurb from Tmo) T999L, and the first thing I do with it is root it. Reading this guide. I flash TWRP via Odin, and root by flashing the latest SuperSU zip that's linked in DocHoliday77's sig. No problems. The next thing I did is try to back up my nv-data per the guide, but I'm excited, I'm low on sleep, whatever. I typed in "reboot nvrestore" before I even thought about it. Figured out what I did while the phone was rebooting. I did some googling, and I can't seem to quite pin down what's stored in the nv-data besides my IMEI. The IMEI in the Settings menu seems to match the sticker under the battery, so I figure I'm not too screwed. But my root is gone. Okay, so I reboot into recovery, flash the SuperSU zip again, but instead of returning "Successful!" like I hoped, the phone just reboots halfway through flashing the zip, and no root when it gets back into the OS proper. I tried flashing Superuser (again from DocHoliday77's sig) and get the same thing.
What should my next step be?
