On the advice of someone here, I installed PPPWidget on my Google Nexus and was then able to use my 3 Huawei USB dongle successfully. I first had to root the Nexus, which I did successfully, and in the process SuperSU was installed. I had no problems for several months accessing the net with the USB dongle.
The other day I noticed the PPPWidget was updated along with other apps and since then my Nexus reports 'no root access'. I have just looked up on the net and I am told I should check the SuperSU settings. As I dont't at all dick around with these things, I should imagine something was reset with PPPwidget was updated.
My question: what setting should I be looking at on SuperSU to ensure it allows the PPPwidget app root access. I'm afraid most of it is all Greek to me.
PS Just checked SuperSU: it says 'there's is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it'. Why is that? It worked before but now no longer. I do dimly recall that Android was updated to 4.2.2 - could that have changed things? Do I have to root again (which is a hassle as I can't remember how I did it the first time)?

The rooting website I found says to start press volume down and start, but the screen I get is not the same as that shown on the website. Did 4.2.2. change all the recovery, bootloader etc bollocks, or am I going wrong somewhere?
I had to re-root over the weekend...the bootloader screen did look slightly different, but not a lot.
I didnt pay too much attention to it, once in the bootloader menu I just ran the widows file, and the tablet rebooted a couple of seconds later.
