This isn't a carrier-subsidized phone, it's a Nexus. Unlocking the bootloader and thus root is a feature fully supported out of the box.
Nothing special here, you can easily root any Nexus device.
We buy Nexus devices because we expect its bootloader to be easily unlocked (fastboot oem unlock) and easy to root, and the direct Google updates.
Sent from my R800x
Everyone knows on nexus its just a case of fastboot oem unlock
I was hoping for a source, cause who ever it is already has their hands on a device... we could get a system dump maybe?
Wow, amazing.. Or not. You only need one command to unlock a nexus phone, it is a built in feature.

im glad everyone knows how to unlock the bootloader, that doesnt give you root though.
with custom kernel that means someone had to have pulled the stock image off using an exploit that works on 4.2 (in which case the device in question may be fully stock except root). with custom recovery it isnt impossible to do without the stock kernels but it certainly makes it a bit more time consuming.
so while im happy everyone knows its indeed a nexus device this proves 1 of two things, someone already has a 4.2 ready exploit (doubt it would go public any time soon tho), or some for of custom recovery is already made for the device.

The only purpose of an exploit on a device with an unlockable AND relockable bootloader is to save some people from wiping /data. That's it. You can achieve the exact same thing with unlock->root->lock. There was only a couple people who seemed to possibly be implying that unlock bootloader means root. The rest of us were saying with open source recovery and fastboot oem unlock and the fact that exploits don't matter, the rooting of this device is a forgone conclusion.

As i said in my post i get that custom recoveries are used for that. everyone seemed to be bashing this thread but as i said it holds more valuable information than most of the threads on this forum. if someone made a custom recovery then chances are day one of shipment it will publicly available and everyone can root using it, its a step towards development regardless, you wouldnt shun someone showing off TWRP/CWM on the N4 saying "oh its a nexus that was easy.." its the same work to get root.
if this was rooted using an exploit then even better news IMO, sure its "fairly" useless on this device (although using it you can then grab dumps of the images and make recovery etc). but there are a lot of devices out there who could use this exploit.
but yes i agree that this phoen would have had a way to root very quickly regardless, just amazed to see people think they could root it the same way as they did their other nexus devices (which prolly had recovery before they got the device)
Excuse my n00by question here, but if I were to unlock my bootloader which I am going to do as soon as my N4 has some charge, that isn't going to give me Root which is what I want but eh.
Is there any known working method of rooting this device at the moment? Is it likely that Bin4ry's ICS/JB exploit will work here?

Just a little something I caught wind of early this morning over at My Droid World.

Looks like the Devs have been busy the last few days. Not only did we obtain root for the D3 we gained root for most of Motorola's phones. Now today we hear that the Droid 3 has a custom recovery, but that is not all. Since the D3 shares a lot of similarities with the Bionic not only did the D3 get a recovery but so did the Bionic! We will be gathering the method in which to install the new recovery on your prize possession soon so everyone can enjoy the benefits of ClockWork Recovery.
All credit for this working recovery goes to @Hashcode

Does anyone know if RZR recovery works on any rooted droid? I used it on my OG Droid and it was awesome.

Awesome. Does this mean the bootloader is still locked, or is that still being worked?
I don't have the phone anymore, but my friend has a Bionic and it was the first phone he rooted. He's interested in the custom rom and CWM thing.

Should allow for at least custom roms to be built. The question is if this got the bootloader too ... otherwise the roms can customized but the kernel will be stuck on stock.
Still, it opens up a lot of options to improve the phone.
ROMs yes, bootloader, not quite yet. Still working on that one.
I can't wait until the CWM Recovery is released, shaking in my robot boots.
God damn do I have respect for these devs. The phone hasn't even been out for a week!

Hmm, well I just switched from a Droid x to bionic and the 2init was the thing that really got the party started so I'm definatly looking forward to that. Although the bootstrapper will be nice too, as I expect it will be finished before the 2init.

Someone way smarter than me can clarify, but my (remedial) understanding is that bootstrapper inserts code prior to a reboot, so that upon reboot a new set of instructions are run that take you to recovery.
I think 2nd-init is a different way to do the same thing, it just creates a 2nd set of instructions upon boot, but doesn't require an actual reboot to prompt the code.
That's what google taught me, but again, I read like 2 websites and didn't get it all.
I'm more of a light-stuff-on-fire kind of guy, than a developer.

even i released a bootable cm10 with call function disabled, but thats at least more than a video showing fake presentation with edits all around on a developer phone.
honestly would not use that as an argument to get bootloader unlocked.
its easier to get 2nd-boot to work i guess than having bootloader unlocked, we have already seen that is possible.

Yeah he could probably in some time maybe hack the P880 bootloader indeed. It seems he has done the same on that device that also had a BCT encryption like our device. But then again he will need to have a P880 phone to start hacking it. So the donations should be a lot

Willing to donate 20 euros, via Bank transfer (IBAN), or via Paypal. In both cases fees paid by the developer who gets the bounty. My offer is timely limited till the end of 2013, after that I most probably will already have sold the phone.
I can chip in $50 just to get this thing unlocked! But will have to wait for 2 weeks for my funds to come in. Just recently got back from a family vacation in San Diego and will be leaving for another trip to Vegas in 3 weeks...so money is pretty tight at the moment. But im definitely willing to chip in $50!

I did charge it to full, but there are many varying schools of thought on that subject. Typically I charge to full then run to 0 and charge to full a few cycles. I have my phone in my dock right now, but the cord to the dock unplugged so it isn't charging.
Not trying to be a kill joy by any means but people Chainfire is a pretty smart dude and has created a lot of things. Not saying that this wont work on Sprint variant but make sure you see his disclaimer.
NOTE:
Some have reported success on Sprint S4's, though I still advise against using it and waiting for a Sprint specific version.
I used this root method, too. Everything is working great.

At this point, it's a use and test function of root required applications..
We have had a report of an application not functioning properly on Motochopper where CF's Autoroot works just fine.
Use and report is the best response to your question.
I've tried every root app I could think of and so far no issues with the CF method. Of course YMMV.

Hi everybody!
Has there been any kernel and ROM development for the Z3 Compact, because I hope to buy it?
My second choice would be the S5 Mini but again I have not seen any development.
( Reasons for my choices are weight and size, being a girl I have seem to have been given smaller hands so giant sized phones have been dropped. )
Thanks lots and kind regards,

P.S I'll post this on the s5 min forum also
Its kinda hard to develop for a phone which hasn't been released yet.

I'm also personally waiting for CM; the xperia ROM feels really strange to use. Does anyone know roughly how long CM take to make a ROM for a new phone if they decide to support it?

A lot of it comes down to how many people (developers in particular) want or get the phone. I'm hoping that there will be a decent community behind the Z3C as many people don't want larger phones anymore and this still has decent specs and a great battery life. We'll have to wait and see, but CM isn't a necessity if you just want the options that CM exposes to the uses - there's plenty of ways to customise the device.
Personally, I'd be happy with root and a more vanilla android version without some of the Sony customisations.

Even modified kernels with recovery from z1c and z2 not fit, and you somehow childish way want to get Root.

Jesus, don't get your panties all in a bunch.
Anyway, what makes you think that flashing a custom recovery is "easier" then getting root access?

It is not easier. It is more reliable. And most importantly, even though I was doing something to get root, and do not sit in my panties like you in anticipation of a good magician.
As of now, only the L720T tri-band http://support.sprint.com/support/a...ndUpdateTheSoftwareVersionOnYourSamsungGalaxy
As usual, the 720 is the "red headed stepchild"....no lollipop yet...
NOOOO!!!! Why can't they just release both... I've been waiting for this

lol. the 720 will be lucky to get the update a month from now unless Sprint mysteriously forgets it all together... wouldn't surprise me
The RDF for the 720 is also at OD1 so sprint has is near completion. I just don't know why they won't push both at the same time

Did anyone receive the update yet or is anyone able to pull it to possibly share and test?
Well, strangely enough, Sprint has now pulled the update and it has been removed from the update list page. WOW Sprint! Pretty pathetic....

So perhaps something came up on one or more of the test devices not previously seen, it happens.
If that is the case, I personally prefer the that they pull it to fix the issue before it makes it out too thousands of users phones. And suspending rollout makes more business sense than causing customers problems, perhaps even severe problems. :good:
link for Samsung lollipop open source release.
this is the link.
click on the SPH-L720T_NA_LL_Opensource.zip.

i'm thinking more and more that this will be the case.
even more insulting would be for them to release 5.0.0 and then stop there.

I hope not... They should release both updates at the same time.. It's most likely going to be 5.0.1 and possibly the last update. I find myself checking the sprint support page almost 3 times a day for the past month.

Can this Zip file be installed like a ROM or with ODIN?

Neither, it's source code. You can't install it.

Wait until it's released
Is there any change on the root impossibility without flashing rooted rom? I've been away from the game forever. Sorry
We won't know until it is released. This update hasn't been released yet. Most likely the typical root method work (cf atuo root and towel root) supersu is already up to date for lollipop OS so if you are rooted just wait till someone makes the stock rom a flashable zip or if you are stock just use any method to root. Remember to back up internal storage as unlocking the bootloader wipes everything.

Considering every other Samsung phone on Lollipop, including the S6, has been rooted the same way as KitKat (CF Auto Root or flash SuperSU.zip in recovery), I think we'll be fine. "Unlocking the bootloader wipes everything"? There are so many things wrong with that statement. Odining a stock tar is the only thing that wipes internal storage (and not all of them do). There is no unlocking of the bootloader on Samsung phones. You flash a custom recovery or if using CF Auto Root it flashes the su binary to system/bin... no wiping on either.
