[GUIDE] Root and Install TiBu for Lollipop Nexus 7 (2012 Wifi) - Nexus 7 General

So you want the latest Lollipop image for the 2012 Wifi Nexus 7, but no root and no TiBu is holding you back?
You can root the 2012 WiFi Nexus using WUGS Root Tool kit. Get it here -> http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
It's real easy to use and it walks you through what you need to do once it's installed. It will download the correct root kernel, boot image, recovery and root.
Once rooted, you can go to Play Store and download the latest TiBu. As of 11/14/2014, it has been updated to work with Lollipop. No need for the Beta version anymore.
It works. I just restored all my users apps from KK with this. Works like a charm. No issues so far.
Here's your Lollipop!

Thanks

Oops, never mind.

Stuck on 'Searching application data .... ' forever.. :/

I flashed factory images yesterday, so my device is unlocked and I'm attempting to root it.
I've downloaded the cf-auto-root-grouper-nakasi-nexus7.zip, rebooted into bootloader, did fastboot boot the .img, it does its thing and reboots. superSU is there but no binariers :/
I've tried it several times. At one point it kept rebooting to TWRP recovery, so re-flashed boot and system.img, boots up fine, all my stuff is still there along with SuperSU but still no binaries....
Hold on, let me try again with stock recovery.
update: Having TWRP recovery flashed was causing the issue. Reflashed stock recovery in bootloader, rebooted bootloader, booted the auto root image and rebooted. SuperSU is not complaining about missing binary.
Now I'm having difficulties with Busybox. At first it said devices wasn't properly rooted. So I downloaded root checker and it said device is rooted. reopened Busybox, granted it root permissions, hit install and gave me an error about improper root installation.
Tried again and now it's saying "can't verify the integrity of the binary selected to be installed" and requesting i exit and try again.

Great! Root work on Nexus 7 wifi 2012 and android 5.0. Thanks!

Used this method last night and it installed without a hitch but I am very disappointed on how slow, Laggy and darn right unusable 5.0 is. I will wipe and go again to see if it improves but if not I will be happy to stay on KK

I went and did a full wipe and that seems to have helped. Also, after the setup, are you allowing it to reinstall apps from the cloud? That can cause it to be laggy until it's done.
Remember, we are also under ART now. Under Dalvik, applications, after initially installed, would have to be "recompiled" to cache them to the Dalvik cache. This occurred when the app was launched for the first time since being installed.
Under ART, it recompiles the apps once they are installed rather than waiting for them to be launched. So, if you are having a lot of apps being reinstalled, you'll notice it might take longer to install them, and hence, since it recompiles them after install, it could slow down your device, causing it to be laggy.

thanks for the guide, it did install supersu and busybox on my nexus 7 2012 with lollipop, however, titanium backup and others apps that require root aren't working, supersu is prompting to give permission on those but they cannot execute xbin/su command

Did you launch SuperSU after rooting? Also, you to launch Busybox and actually tell it to install.
Did you enable USB debugging in developer options? TiBu won't work without that being enabled.
If you don't see developer options in your settings, then you need to go to the About Tablet section in system settings, and then tap on Build Number seven times.
After that, then the Dev Options will show up and you can enable USB Debugging there.
After that, you'll need to go back into TiBu and then restart it (or reboot).

After using WUGs toolkit to root, it tells you to first launch SuperSU and then install Busybox and ensure it's installed in /system/xbin. What they mean by that is actually launching the Busybox app and then installing all the links for the commands and such via the app itself. WUGs is just installing the apk itself but that doesn't set up Busybox. You have to actually launch the Busybox app and then tell it to install everything. That's probably why it can't find su.
Supersu just provides a way to prevent rogue apps from gaining root access without your permission. The actual "su" command is installed by Busybox.
Launch the Busybox app, tell it to install and then try again.

yes, i've also did install all the scripts provided by busybox, it's not the first time i've done it, that's why is really strange, maybe busybox is not correctly installing the su script (i marked the xbin folder instead of bin in busybox).

Then I'm at a loss. It worked the first the time I did it and then again when I decided to do a full wipe of my device. Not sure what is going on.
You did this via WUGs correct? And, when it asked what device you had, you chose Nexus 7 2012 with the Lollipop image, correct?
Just trying to make sure you didn't miss something.

indeed, i can see the unlocked padlock when the device boots, before flashing lollipop i had a kitkat custom rom (forgot the name), so i did have to unlock the bootloader. the only thing i'm missing is the su command and i don't see it in the busybox checklist of scripts to install.

Wut? No, su is on the system by default. It is REPLACED by the supersu zip, with the supersu.apk to control it in Android.
Busybox has nothing to do with su.

DOH! Don't know what I was saying there. My bad. :silly: Chalk it up to a long night last night with little sleep.

I followed the directions and everything worked. only thing now is that windows doesn't see the nexus7 so i can't copy the tibu backups over...do i need to install any additional drivers?

Storage space
Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere or maybe I'm not searching properly. I have the 16GB model and my storage is now down to 6GB, is there anything I can do to fix that? I used Wugs toolkit to install twrp but I can't find the folder in my internal storage.

[ROOT][64-Bit] Root for Non US HTC Desire 510

I know you guys have waited FOREVER for somebody to pick this project up.... I have, and today I preset to you...ROOT
WARNNG: THIS DOES USE A CUSTOM KERNEL
Steps:
Unlock bootloader using this TUTORIAL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-510/help/qa-bootloader-unlock-htc-desire-510-t2911491
DO NOT FLASH RECOVERY FROM THAT THREAD
Grab boot.img from here:
http://goo.gl/AlaZpI
Old Versions:
http://goo.gl/dzQ3Wi
Load boot.img into fastboot folder
run this command:
"fastboot flash boot HTC-Desire-510-64bit-Root.img"
Install SuperSU from Play Store. Select cancel everytime it asks to update. It WON'T work​
VigiDroid said:
Okay first things first let's get a couple things straight. SuperSU is the APPLICATION that allows for other applications to gain root access. When you first run SuperSU it will complain that the SU BINARIES are out of date. This is not important. It claims that you need a custom recovery (typically TWRP or CWM) to install the BINARIES, or you can try install it without it. This does not work, but it doesn't matter, since the out dated BINARIES still function correctly.
It is important to identify the difference between those two to avoid confusion though. SuperSU is the APPLICATION that allows root, and SU is the BINARIES which allow SuperSU to have root access.
I had trouble at first, but after a couple of initial reboots, SuperSU functioned correctly and granted root applications access. Once you have rebooted a few times, try download "root access checker" and run it to see if it works.

it IS rooted, but you cannot update in-app using SuperSU. for some unknown reason, it wont work
use any other root managing app and you should be ok. try using koush's superuser app
Change Screen Size
Guys,
If you wanna be normaly screen size (not original sh.. screen sizes) than download this apk to your phone:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nomone.resolution_changer&hl=hu
NOMone Resolution Changer (its free)
Open the app and you see
"Width" "Height" "DPI"
Change Width to 720
Change Height to 1280
Change DPI to 312
and click on apply
Or second way:
Open the app
Click on "Select device template"
and choose Motorola Moto X or Htc One X
Click on apply and you done
If you dont like this sizes,dont worry,apk will restore stock sizes after 10 sec and after 1 minutes too.
Good Luck to all.

Check the link in the OP? Hit the big blue download button on it and follow the instructions from the OP. In case you missed it, you have to use FASTBOOT to FLASH the KERNEL. So in other words, use this command: fastboot flash boot HTC-Desire-510-64-Bit-Root.img

[UPDATE] Titanium Backup Root access Issue

Dear Developers
This in to bring to your kind notice that I have MotoG-2014 [2nd Gen] with me.
I recently rooted it successfully using guide given on the XDA forum itself. Post the root, I did checked using Root Checker Basic application about the fact whether I did the process successfully or not.
I did get the message: Congratulations! Root Access is properly installed on this device.
Current Device : XT-1068
Android version: 5.0.2
Once i was done with all this, I tried installing Titanium Backup[Pro version 6.1.0] but post every individual and multiple installs whenever I tried opening the application, it checks for ROOT ACCESS, which I did give every time but here I get a error stating that :
Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will *not* work! Please verify that your ROM is rooted, and try again.
This attempt was made using the "/system/xbin/su" command.
Now i don't understand why does this happen with Titanium, when Root Checker Basic application shows me Rooted, and I can also install
"Viper4AndroidFX" application which too requires phone to be rooted at the very first place.
I do not wish to reinstall the ROM again, since I did it properly with full clean swipe & cache + data properly cleaned at the first place after i bricked the phone last night.
[ UPDATED POST ]
The problem of Titanium backup arrives only when I am on OS version Lollipop 5.0.2. The titanium despite having root access doesn't surpass the Error on this OS.
I am sure of this statement, since due to some minor issues, I had to revert my Firmware back to STOCK version 4.4.4 and on that i got both the Root access and even the titanium worked perfectly fine.
Last night i re-updated my phone again to Lollipop 5.0.2 and as soon as I tried installing the Titanium Backup, I encountered the same error.
I guess its because of the OS version.
I am in no mood of reverting back to STOCK OS because I love Lollipop UI but how to resolve this Titanium Backup issue.
Can you guys HELP me please. !
Waiting for a response.
Thanks & regards.
Check to make sure you have the Super SU app by Chainfire app installed. When you open Titanium are you getting a notification from Super SU to allow it root access? When you open Super SU app, in Settings is it set to prompt for apps requiring root?

Yes Its from Chainfire since, its visible when i open the settings option in the application. Yes if i install titanium and then start it, SuperSu does ask me permission and I clearly do remember that I have always clicked on "GRANT".

Try installing the free busybox app from Play. When you first run it, you have to let it run through your system and then choose smart install. It may take a couple of minutes for it to finish scanning your system. Reboot after you install.

Installed the free busybox application as you told me to do. Here is the supporting screenshot :
This screen (mentioned above) came when I simply installed and started the application, had not restarted the phone yet.
However, when I restarted my phone and then started this application, I get this screen(below) :
Is it still possible since I recheched with Root Checker again and I got this screen :
P.S. - I have ROM TOOLBOX LITE too installed on my phone, and if my memory serves me right, its an application that too requires a ROOT on the device
By any chance Is it a case of "SOFT ROOT " . . ?
I just read about this somewhere while searching for this issue. So I ask & what can be done in this issue. ?
I personally never experienced nor did hear about such kind of a problem. So please HELP. . .
Response awaited.
Thanks & regards
If it were me, I would make sure I had the latest SuperSU zip, boot into TWRP recovery, clear dalvik/cache, flash Super SU again, clear dalvik/cache and reboot.
I would do what @Tel864 posted.
About Titanium: There is a version 7 out (sry no link,forgot where I got it from),Titanium 6 neither worked on my phone after rooting.

Hope it helps me. Its weird though to see such kind of an issue cropping up for the first time ever.
Will respond back soon.
UPDATE -
I still see the same errors. Root Checker Basic shows my phone as rooted. TB produces the same error [ as mentioned in previous posts]. Couldn't bypass even after clicking on "GRANT".
Now what should I do, please HELP ME...
Response is more than awaited now.

Yeah bro, am too giving it a try for once.
the reason why am still stuck on v6 especially this one is that brother its a pro version which i found here on xda only( though I don't remember as to which thread it was), the day i find another latest version[Pro] for TB, i would start using that.
Yeah then please do have a look, you might find that.

I'm not asking for a custom recovery, I know about the situation of meizu and not being open source that way.
I'm asking for a way to install Xposed successfully without a custom recovery by manually pushing the files etc.
But thank you.
If you read that thread, you'll note that in order to flash anything to begin with, you're going to need the recovery emulator "FlashGordon".

The alternative approach is manually copying and pasting the zip files to the appropriate folders but I don't know what permissions you have to set for each of them besides the standard 664, so I apologize for not finding a solution, but I have a tablet that is pretty much in ter same ballpark as the MX4 so I'll monitor this thread!

I have tried to do that also, its working on the mx4 pro, but that has a different cpu chip.
Watch the video on this thread :http://bbs.flyme.cn/thread-240899-1-1.html
It explains how to copy/paste to the correct places.
Hopefully it works for you.

Check out flashfire, it seems to be more active than flashgordon.
Thanks for the link btw.

Seems to have better support, coming from Chainfire etc, but it just results in black screen without progress.
Will keep searching for a solution tomorrow.
Ok, can get it to show installed, but after I reboot it is just resulting in bootloops.
Anyone have a solution!

I did manage to get it installed and working without issues.
Follow the guide here: http://bbs.flyme.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=254959&page=1&extra=#pid3301122

Basic chinese-> English:
1: Extracting installation charm Andrews 5.0 toolkit installation kingroot4.0 Mobile, the phone root, generally a few minutes to resolve.
2: the tmp folder, RE Manager copied to the system root directory, modify ub.sh tick all permissions.
3: Install a terminal emulator, open a terminal emulator to enter expert mode, choose Terminal Emulation, SU checkbox ticked above,
After entering sh /tmp/ub.sh carriage return (later sh space), etc. output stop after a while you can exit the terminal emulator.
4: Install xposed installer.apk, installation charm toolbox, open frame - module check Charm toolbox restart into effect.
I got it installed by wiping my data and trying on a fresh install before doing anything else, hopefully you wont have to do that.
Try removing all xposed related apps/modules before trying and rebooting/ clear catches before.
I used superSU not King user. Ignore charm-toolbox, thats a meizu flyme related module like gravity-box.
Follow the guide, then install xposed installer, mine didnt install, so i pushed in manually to /data/app with correct permissions then rebooted. I think it rebooted first time.
But a couple of times i have had to reboot by holding the power button for 10s because its gone into bootloop when activating new modules, but after it comes back on.
I got it to work another way, but my device is completely different.
What I did was install the installer, but right after I followed these instructions:
n root browser:
go to the /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/ and create folder "conf" (permissions rwxrwxrwx)
in folder "conf" create the file "jit_reset_offset" (permissions rw-r--r--)
Download Terminal Emulator, install and open it. Then:
type "su"
type "echo 0x98 > /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/jit_reset_offset"
Reboot the tablet.
Open Xposed Installer, install framework, reboot.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I gave that offset a shot and it luckily worked on mine. Unfortunately, the only way of getting the "offset" code is by analyzing some lib file, which I have yet to find out how to do. That being said, you can always try 0x98 a try as it seems to work on many. The default AOSP is 0x78, and some even have it as 184.
This does, however, fix most of the issues with "unsupported" devices out there, that seems to be the solution from rovo all the time.

I have installed xposed today by a very similar way that I have made but I am not sure if xposed totally installed.
Do you think that it is really installed?
I also have tried with the method of the chinese forum and the result is the same (basicaly is the same as my procedure).
There is any module to check it is really working? As you see I dont use much xposed

[MODULE] App Systemizer for Magisk v9-v14 -- DEPRECATED

Instead of including the third party APK files in the magisk modules/repo, this module, developed by @loserskater and me, systemizes user-installed apps systemlessly thru magisk. Another benefit of systemizing the user-installed apps is that if you uninstall magisk, your settings for the apps will be retained. If you originally install any of the apps above thru an app-specific magisk module (like Pixel Launcher magisk module for example), then when magisk is uninstalled or disabled, app settings will be gone.
If you're on Oreo ROM, you will need this add-on developed by @yochananmarqos: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-privileged-permission-whitelist-t3670646
This module requires installation from Magisk Manager, not recovery.
This module might lead to your device stuck on logo or booting to recovery, I gather it might be a kernel issue -- the closer you're to stock firmware/kernel the more likely it is to work. If it fails, try the "Terminal App Systemizer" instead.
Important links:
README
AppSystemizer commits
Companion app commits
NOW IN OFFICIAL MAGISK REPO!
11.0.6: This is the last "classic/simple" version I could get from github, (11.0.6) which might fail on the larger APKs but doesn't include magisk partition resizing code which might cause problems. It also does NOT include a companion app.
12.0.5: This is the latest "stable" version with the companion app. Based on pre-"magisk 13" template (version 3), but seems to work with magisk 13.
14.0.0: This is the 12.0.5 version migrated to 1400 template (released with magisk 14). Not tested by me, so use at your own risk (but please post back wherever it does/does not work).
The source code (with history) is available here if anyone wants to continue development: https://github.com/stangri/AppSystemizer
So since the new apk for Pixel Launcher is available and it has a different signature than previously leaked apk files, here's the list of steps you need to take to replace your Pixel Launcher if used with this module:
1. Go to Magisk Manager and delete (or disable) the App Systemizer module.
2. Reboot.
3. After step 2 your Pixel Launcher should no longer be a system app and you should be able to uninstall old Pixel Launcher -- do so (with your favourite root uninstall app or thru System Settings -> Apps -> Pixel Launcher -> Uninstall).
4. Install the new Pixel Launcher.
5. Add again (or reactivate) the App Systemizer module.
6. Reboot TWICE.
7. The new Pixel Launcher should be active and working as a system app now.

Please try the attached ZIP after you have installed the app from the play store and remember to reboot twice. Post back if it works and why do you need it to be a system app.
Does this essentially make it a system app without it actually being in the system, or am I not understanding this correctly?

Precisely, it makes the user-installed app a system app without actually modifying the /system partition.

It sure can, I'm not sure if the "magiskized" Cerberus would survive data reset tho. Can you try it out please? Just make sure to reboot TWICE after installing the attached module before the big reset.
OK. It will be this weekend before I can get to it. Doing all the research and downloading ahead of time. Figured I would try some of this systemless stuff out before upgrading to far. Not upgrading to N yet but is this systemmless stuff seem to be working OK with N?

Smart move. Yeah, no major issues on Nexus 6 and released Nougat. DP5 was draining my battery, but that seems to have been fixed in the release build. There seems to be a problem with magisk CACHE modules (they don't install on Nexus 6) but these are far and few between.
BTW, OTAs which affect the boot partition will kill magiskized Cerberus until you reflash magisk.

Should this make Cerberus show up as a system app in something like Titanium backup? I can't get Cerberus to turn on gps like it would if it was installed as a system app. Shouldn't this allow it to behave like a system app or am I wishing for to much?
FYI
I had Cerberus installed first
Ran the zip file in Magisk
rebooted after install
rebooted again
logged into my Cerberus Dashboard and tried to track my phone and it will not turn on my gps like it will if installed into the system
If this is a limitation that can't be avoided I understand. If I did something wrong or can try something else let me know. Also I did this on my nexus 6 running N. Supersu seems to work and Adaway is installed and seems to be working so far. Latest twrp is also installed, everything is systemless so far. Thanks for your time

If you have a file manager which can browse system partition, can you verify that there's a folder /system/priv-app/CerberusAntiTheft and its permissions are the same as the other folders in /system/priv-app? If it's there and still Cerberus doesn't behave like a proper system app then I don't know what's wrong.
PS. I believe installing twrp prevents OTAs from being installed so kinda contradicts the whole systemless concept. I only boot twrp thru fastboot when needed (usually just once to install magisk/phh root).

That's weird, but now we found the reason Cerberus is not working as expected.
Can you please check if the following exist:
/magisk/AppSystemizer/system/priv-app/CerberusAntiTheft
/data/app/com.lsdroid.cerberus* (could be -1, -2, etc).
If there's no /data/app/com.lsdroid.cerberus* -- my module couldn't find the installed Cerberus. Can you find out what canonical package ID did they use then?

So I found /magisk/AppSystemizer but no more folders after that. So /system/priv-app/CerberusAntiTheft is missing.
/data/app/com.Isdroid.cerberus-1 directory exists and has the lib and oat directories plus the base.a pk in it. Forgive my lack of knowledge on this but how do I find the canonical package ID?

Ok, I sincerely hope you just grabbed the attachment from the first post (which I posted before I added Cerberus support) and not from my reply to you down in the thread. Was the ZIP file you installed named AppSystemizer.zip or AppSystemizer-Cerberus.zip?
I still don't want to update the original attachment, so could you please add the ZIP attached to this reply to magisk and then reboot twice.
PS. If you're reading this on mobile, I don't know how the attachments show up for you, but you need the most recent AppSystemizer-Cerberus.zip file from this thread.
OK, so I deleted the old zip, it was AppSystemizer-Cerberus.zip, and removed the module. Rebooted and verified that it was removed from the magisk directory, rebooted one more time, then installed the zip you just posted for me. Rebooted twice. Went through and looked for the directories you had me looking for earlier, and they are still not there. Let me know what else I can do.

Just installed Cerberus app and got it converted to systemless with the module.
Can you PM me (or post here) the magisk log?
PS. Does magisk have root access?

Magisk has root access. Or at least I get the toast notification saying it was granted and it shows up in the SuperSU logs. I'm sure I have done something wrong, or something didn't install correctly. Just not sure what.

I'm sure it's just MM vs N difference and nothing you didn't do. Thanks for sticking by. Can you please try replacing the module with the attached AppSystemizer-debug.zip, rebooting and posting/PMing the log. This version should print stuff to the magisk log file helping me figure out what's going on.
PS. No need to uninstall existing module, just add this ZIP over the old one.

Rooting LN14????

Could someone please point me at instructions on how to root LN14.
I've searched the HD/HD+ forums for 'root LN14' and 'rooting LN14' and got no results (which by itself is suspicious).
have you enabled Developer Options?
I, for one, had no luck with either SuperSu or addon su. The first would put the HD+ into a permanent boot loop necessitating a re-install from scratch,and the latter would install but the unit still indicated it was not rooted. Doing the Dev Op made no difference. A real mystery!

The file addonsu-14.1-arm.zip in the main folder is the one to use. As I seem to recall, you might have to enable, disable, then re-enable, in order for root access to take effect.

That is the one I flashed using 3.0.1.0 TWRP. Not clear on your second sentence: "...enable, disable,, then re-enable...". Forgive me for being lost as to what you physically/specifically mean. Please explain.

I meant "enable, disable,, then re-enable" the root access option in "Developer Options".
Aha! Will give it a go. Thanks.
5/2/2018:
Okay: I d/l three android root checkers and titanium backup. The first root checker (Clivin Inc. with small green android robot graphic) told me I was not rooted both before following your above instructions and after. The other two (d/l after following the above) both say I am rooted. However, I was not and am still not able to get "TB" to run. It says "failed" and that I am not rooted.
Since the HD+ is running really well now in its stripped down mode, I can "leave well enough alone" or try to get "TB" working so I can remove anything not needed for my chosen minimal functionality (ereader, viewing videos, photo review/minor editing) that would further reduce unnecessary battery drain.
Thanks again for the above clarification and any additional thoughts.
I am having this same problem
- Root options *do* appear in my Developer settings, but no amount of toggling on/off/on seems to enable root
- I have flashed the Lineage SU addon, log shows successful in TWRP but no change after boot
- SuperSU from Play Store says "SU Binary occupied"
- Adaway says "Rooted Android required- Either the su binary could not be found or you did not allow root permission for Adaway" ie I believe I am indeed *not* rooted.
- SuperSU flashable zip is a broken link on their website.... http://www.supersu.com/download
Out of ideas here, anyone got anything else I can try?
Edit: I was able to obtain Root properly by flashing Magisk & installing the Magisk Manager APK from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
You got it. Use Magisk. Works wonders and way better than SuperSU or any other root permission tool I've came across. It's even akin to, and even has within it, xposed and other magical rooted modules for you to try out for a day or two and then decide you don't need it.
