[GUIDE]Root, flash recovery, flash rom-ALL IN ONE - XDA-University

Hey guys....... So many newbies don't know the procedures to root, flash recovery, flash custom roms....
Well this guide will help them to get all the information in one place....
So let's get started:
ROOT:
download a app called framaroot which is a one click root process...
The app will be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/framaroot/root-framaroot-one-click-apk-to-root-t2130276
The procedure and the app will be provided
Reboot your device..
FLASHING A CUSTOM RECOVERY :
Step 1 :
once you have got root access download mobile uncle tools
Here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2697236
Step 2 :
Pls download the specified recovery you want to flash . it should be compatible with your device... (you might want to download es file Explorer for managing your files easily)
Step 3:
Now open mobile uncle tools and go to recovery update and then choose it recovery. img
Step 4:
it will tell you to reboot your phone and then you are done with flashing the recovery... U can also flash it using so flash tools using the computer..
Step 5:
Now after rebooting your phone just power it off and press and hold volume up and power button(different for different devices for my xolo q700i this Is the procedure)
Step 6:
U will now boot into recovery mode.... And it specific recovery will be displayed..... Just reboot ur phone using recovery mode (I hope u can do that atleast:thumbup
HOW TO FLASH CUSTOM ROMS:
Step 1:
Download the custom rom for ur device....
Step 2:
Place the file in the download directory of your SD cards... (u can use es file Explorer)
It will mostly be placed there automatically
Step 3:
now boot into recovery(I have explained before how to do that)
Now follow the instructions told to you by the person who added the rom for your device(usually it is wipe dalvik cache and factory reset) then just go to select zip option..
Step 4:
Now browse to the specific directory where u have placed the zip file and click on the zip file and then click on yes...
Step 5:
wow u have flashed a new rom!!!

Thank you. Try to root and flash my sgs later.

I am in of some guidance. At the moment I am trying to obtain root on LG k10 MS428, running MM 6.0.1 SW version MS42810d. Snap dragon processer. I read through all of the post on Xda-devolpers thread for the LG k10. I looks like only way to obtain root for Qualcomm is to downgrade to Android Lollipop, then use Kingroot.
Looking for a way to obtain the firmware file ms42810b assuming the would downgrade me to Lolli. Pveenith has worked hard and has a version of TWRP available for my Phone and the proper dll file in order to downgrade. I Just need the firmware file. Or another way to obtain root on MM 6.0.1 I would even be interested in doing a systemless root the process. Can anyone please help me with this situation?

[Q] How to root nexus one 2.3.6 with locked boatloder

Hi guys
Can any one tell me how to root nexus one 2.3.6 ,i have locked boatloader.
zahid
Try SuperOneClick
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
or unlock the bootloader, fastboot custom recovery and flash ROM of choice.
Try this

Use this. I just rooted my stock 2.3.6 nexus using this method. Takes less then a minute once everything is downloaded. Just make sure to extract all the files into the same location as the adb.exe file. Usually its in android/platform-tools.
Good luck and let us know if you have any questions.
BTW it does not unlock you bootloader either!

Is that a compulsion that super one click must be in the same location as adb n sdk tools?
Cos i rooted my stock 2.3.3 using the same method last month
But had it in different directories c: n e:

You're good to go. Just install a custom recovery
CWM or Amon Ra, you can install them via Rom Manger.
hi
I tried to install custom ROM but when phone reboot it stuck on "triangle android" seems first i have to unlock my boatloader.
Can you post me link..
It means that you didn't flash the file that removes stock recovery reinstaller - and stock recovery is reinstalled on stock ROM boot.
Reboot back to ROM, root again, this time when you reboot to recovery first time, flash the file. It's found in Nexus One Wiki, section "Recovery".

Its not at all necessary to unlock the bootloader. Did u install custom recovery before flashing a custom rom? I think u skipped that step.
Simple and best way for starters like us is to
1.root via super one click root
2. Install rom manager from market and wid the help of that, flash clockworkmod(cwm) recovery.
3. Install Titanium backup from market and do a backup up of ur apps.
4. Choose the correct rom of ur choice by reading the OP and the thread.
5. Download it and install it via rom manager.
6. Before that back up your current rom and wipe the system,cache,dalvik cache.
Thats it, u r good to go. :thumbup:
This is how i did n doing good
PS: Am just a newbie, so if there's any mistakes in my steps pls correct me.

thanks Man its working,,,,,,
but i am little surprise i did the same like flashing clockworkmod(cwm) recovery first and then ROM..but it didnt work me at that time...strange... Anyways now its working i m now on MIUI ROM looks cool..
question,,, what the advantage of having boatloader unlock?and wat is its use...?
Does SuperOneClick works on Nexus One stock rom 2.3.6?
I went for it and it works. i now have root on my N1 stock 2.3.6!

Unroot Guide?

Hey all,
I'm looking for a guide with files for unrooting the 8.9 retail Wi-Fi version in the US. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful. Thanks!

Unrooting is simple as rooting..
Just place file on sdcard
Go to recovery menu
apply zip fom sdcard until done and reboot..
You back to normal user again,..
This file will do dalvik-cache wipe and data wipe if partition is same as default as iam..
So just in case if you want to back your tab for warranty purposes..this method maybe usefull..
Use it with your own risk..
Here is my posting about this a few months ago

Unrooting is detailed even in my guide which includes the file suwandiapr suggested above. Flash that little file or run the manual command (more in the guide).

cwm post root

I cannot seem to find the answer that I am looking for for my issue, maybe i missed it.
I tried for ages to get to the root plus cwm to work and i could not make it happen for my phone, is there a way to put on the cwm option POST root?
I was able to get the phone rooted but had to go about it a separate way and i would like to put some custom rom action on this miserably boring phone.
Thanks
I rooted my phone first then used mobile Odin pro to flash the cf kernel which means I now have cwm and recovery.

First of all we have many dedicated threads to teach you step by step about rooting XZR.
For help I can give you a hint of how you must do it in short :-
1. Downgrade your phone from Kitkat to jellybean 4.1
2. Download doomloard's toolkit to root phone without unlocking bootloader.
3. As now you you have rooted your phone, now download Backup TA toolkit to backup your TA so as to keep bravia and warranty for your phone for future. Save this TA backup file with your life.
4. Now Upgrade to Kitkat. As now you have your TA backup, you can unlock bootloader from Sony Developer site help.
5. You can look for a software called Flashtool and download it. This is going to help you in further things.
6. Now unlock your bootloader.
7. Now Flash a boot image which has a recovery and is for XZR.
8. Download a flashable zip file for installing SuperSU.
9. Flash that file using that recovery.
10. Flash the kernel from the downloaded firmware of Kitkat using flashtool.
11. Start your phone and you may find SuperSU installed in your phone.
12. Now comes the part to keep your Bravia engine alive. As you have taken a backup of your TA, open the Backup TA tool after activating developer mode and USB Debugging.
13. Then connect your phone, restore TA partition to your phone.
14. Now what you have is :- i). Rooted Kitkat on phone. ii). TA partition for future restoring of your TA after unlocking the phone.
All these above steps I have written here have a altogether a complete explanation. Now it's your turn to read them from here XDA. Go ahead and read more before asking anymore. The more you read, the less noob you are. :good:

Thank you for this guide. I really really appreciate it.
1. Wanted to know if it's not a problem to downgrade directly from 4.4.2 to 4.1/4.2?
2. No special things required to do? Just back up user data?
3. Use androxyde flashtool and use any region 4.1/4.2?
Just wanted to really make sure before i try doing this. Since i bought the phone recently and kitkat is just killing me with sdcard restrictions.

What you really need is right ftf file for your phone region isn't the problem and yes there is nothing special required to downgrade from any version to any version as far as ftf file is correct and is for correct device. You are good to go :good::good:
You can try root your zr kit kat use Towelroot. Some of the z and zr owners managed to get root even in lock bootloader. I already tested on my zr JB 4.3. Lockbootloader. Work flawlessly.
I did it!

Well as you have backed up your ta now you can choose any rooting methods available. It could be conventional method that we already know our it could be the towel root that our friend here is talking about. Enjoy being the real admin of your device

You did nothing wrong. Link2SD or alike won't work on 4.2 and up . If you need to move apps to the SDCard you'll have to use FolderMount. You can move up to 3 data folders with the free version and it works great especially if you have apps with big data folders (like games). However, if you need to move more than 3 data folders, you'll have to get the Premium version.
Good going.

Our friend here is right. These apps were made for gingerbread mainly, and alas they don't work on JB+. So what you need to do is understand more about folder mount before starting to use it. Learn more about it before making your move.
Silly question perhaps i don't know about. I'm on a stock ROM, rooted, still locked bootloader, and I cannot enter stock recovery. How do i possibly do that? I used the power+volup, power+voldwn, used root power options to boot recovery but I cannot.
Any information should help.
Thanks guys.

Install one for XZR. @sijav has nice working dual recovery on the forum here for XZR, I personally use that as it doesn't require us to unlock bootloader. Here you can find it :- Dual Recovery

I personally Tested. And works fine without bugs.

Please rename the file to CF-Auto-Root-trlte-trltedt-smn910g.tar.md5 or Just remove 5.0.1 in the Root file and then use it in Odin.
Sorry for trouble... Its my mistake in renaming the file

Dr.Ketan Method
- Download SuperSu 2.46 from chainfire and copy to SD
- Switch Off device and reboot to download (Vol down + Home + Power) to get into download mode)
- Get custom recovery (I have used Chenglu's CWM 6.0.5.1)
- Uncheck Auto reboot in Odin and flash custom recovery
- Once flashing pass, reboot device to recovery manually (Vol up + home +power)
- Flash SuperSu zip you copied in step 1
CMW recovery link: http://d-h.st/9ahQ
Dr.Ketan Method also Works... But you will Lose Stock Recovery//
Will this trip the warranty flag?
What features are people using that require root? I just got lollipop on my 910g and wondering if I should root
is there a link that i can use to download without the crap. @sriszone
i have tried downloading N910g-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.1 a number of times from different sites and its always corrupt
Try flashing latest TWRP it will then root Rom once you go into recovery and reboot it will ask if you want to root

Why have you made this thread when there is a CF-Autoroot thread already open by the developer himself?
And why do you say no mirrors as if this is anything original to you?
