Downlaload TWRP 2.8.1.0

Hey!
Thanks a lot. Really helped solve my problem!

No problem

This doesn't belong in Development.

Actually i am not sure where should this be.. I'd request modders to please move it to the correct board!

Thanks man!

Since you've probably lost your custom recovery upgrading to 5.0.1, you can grab the TWRP images for Nexus 5 here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hammerhead
I believe you need to use 2.8.1.0 since 2.8.2.0 either doesn't work or is causing problems for many users.

Isn't CF-Auto root adding files from the 5.0 release over the 5.0.1 ? Isn't it safer to wait for a 5.0.1 autoroot?

How did you update from a rooted (with CF-Auto Root) 5.0 to 5.0.1 you just received the OTA and installed it without any problems ?
I like to know because i am on 5.0 stock just rooted with CF_Auto root.

So no more need for CF-Auto?
Just flashing SuperSU zip with TWRP is enough?

I flashed a Custom Rom Using TWRP which doesn't have any root permission...

Yes... Just Flashing with TWRP Is Enough!

Guys, i installed the 5.0.1 update by fastboot flashing system, boot and radio. I lost my custom recovery tho (CWR). I now tried to install TWRP, but after flashing the recovery image, the recovery still hasnt changed. Could i just flash CRW or should i use TWRP for this version?

This. I flash with it here since 4.4.4 and it did everything just fine. Not only it is an app to automatically root, but it gives very good hints, and provides lots of others features like installing Apks, getting a adb prompt, and so much more. Greatest third party Android app I have tried. Highly recommended, didn't even had to wait they update it for 5.0.1, as soon I got the 5.0.1 OTA notification, Nexus Root Toolkit was already ready for it.

This is lollipop security, custom recover wouldn't stick, after each reboot it will replaced with stock one, of course there is a way to make it sticky just search the forum.

That's always been enough. You can use Cf's auto root if you don't want to use a custom recovery.

[ROOT - FIX] Android 5.0

If you're experiencing that root doesn't work on some apps well this thing is for you. Chainfire may have been fixed all that issues.
To install flash this zip in your recovery (twrp or cwm):
http://download.chainfire.eu/624/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.23.zip
Note that this SuperSU is beta!
So basically what you saying is that with this version of SuperSU its possible to use flashify /flash twrp or cwm, and then flash superSu 2.23 and we are rooted on 5.0??
Or its not that simple, i wont have pc for few days thats why I'm asking

I'm not sure if root issue has got to do anything with nexus devices because we have ADB/Fastboot.
Root is working fine since the release of lollipop, basically all i did was flash the Permissive kernel + cf root from chainfire via fastboot (this is for people that do not have access to TWRP recovery in the first place on lollipop).

After you flash two of those via fastboot, you can just download latest twrp img file and rename it as "reocvery" then flash it via "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" if you want twrp...

Well... That's an old kernel, although I don't know if anything has changed since then.
CF Auto Root also removes Maps and YouTube from the System/app Partition for some weird reason.
I always used Wugfresh's NRT. It did everything while I just sat and watched, lol.

I can confirm that this process does work. It's the method I went through when I upgraded my Tab S.
Tbh that is a long winded way to achieve something much easier. The Cf-autoroot step was totally unnecessary. It only does what the supersu zip does or twrp does itself.
Just flash TWRP from the first post. It will root your device with the latest binary.

Thanks for the update. Are you going to keep up with every new SU updated binaries and update TWRP every time the binaries are update. That would be great if you are willing to do that. I rather rely on the actual TWRP and SuperSU Developers to give me the zips etc. and flash my self as long winded as that may seem but people can choose.
Twrp is updated more often than the super su binary, but team win never seem to update the binary, so I'll just update it myself with each release. Not only that, each new twrp release has the same problems as mentioned in my original post.
I'm also looking for a way to get MTP working properly as that is the only issue now.
Regarding cf-autoroot. I don't think people realise there is nothing special about how it roots.
It basically does the same thing that twrp does itself or flashing a super su zip.
Cf-autoroot simply installs a modified stock recovery which runs a script to Install root then flashes back stock recovery.
If someone intends to install a custom recovery anyway then there is no point in running cf-autoroot.
Twrp will do exactly the same thing and so does installing a super su zip.
They all accomplish the same thing using a slightly different method.
The only difference will be that chainfire may keep each cf-autroot updated with the latest binary.
The reason chainfire created it is for people who want to stick with stock recovery instead of custom

Just flash twrp, boot into it then hit reboot. Twrp will give you the option to root.
If doesn't then you are already rooted and probably just need to update the super su app.

I did that and I can't boot into twrp, samsung recovery is shown. Looks like it can't rewrite the original recovery. Used your version from 30th March with Odin 10.6.

That's a feature of lollipop. It overwrites with stock recovery. Happens on many devices. You need to boot into recovery immediately after flashing twrp, twrp will then patch it so stock recovery can't replace it.
When flashing uncheck auto reboot in odin. When it finishes flashing hold power + vol down + home. As soon as the screen goes blank hold power +vol up + home to boot into recovery.
Thanks for the information, but now I've flashed your new package root+twrp and it's working great
Thanks again.

[HELP] Root access on Marshmallow 6.0.1

Hi,
How do I root the phone now, after upgrading to 6.0.1
I've tried the method mentioned here: http://www.guruswizard.com/2015/12/root-android-one-devices-on-6-0-1-marshmallow.html to root my karbonn Sparkle V
and it wasn't successful, and I've lost all data after unlocking bootloader [I've got desktop backups though]
When tried to flash that modified boot image mentioned in that page, I am getting this error:
target reported max download size of 134217728 bytes
sending ‘boot’…
OKAY [0.515s]
writing ‘boot’…
FAILED (remote: size too large)
finished. total time: 0.577s
Is it for 2nd Gen devices? Did anyone get root access on their 1st gen sprout4?
So how do I root my phone now?
Thanks.

Or if you want root on stock kernel
Use supersu 2.62 from attachments of this thread

It will patch the kernel automatically and root without modifying system

Custom kernel and Custom Recovery both are different things,
Custom kernel is the device supreme commander which controls all processing, ram, fluidity and many others fact you can tweak it but cant use it to root the device..
On other hand Custom recovery is used to recover phone by flashing ROMS, zips , img etc.
So you can flash supersu from custom recovery and root your device
But if you already have custom kernel installed on device then its clear that your device is rooted, as bcoz. your custom kernel gives you some extra tweaks which is given after root.
So device emulates that you have custom kernel so your device is also rooted..
I think that you have understood....
BEST OF LUCK FOR YOUR FUTURE:good:

You can flash one using fastboot. Or instead of flashing you can even use the command "fastboot boot recovery ......... " (replace..... With name of recovery image file) . Once you are inside the recovery flash supersu zip normally and you'll root your phone without installing a custom recovery.

Go to Supersu app and click the option for full unroot/cleanup. That'll do the trick. Also, if you are rooted, you still receive OTA. In fact I received the Lollipop OTA while I had a custom recovery installed. The only difference that made was that after downloaded when the phone rebooted into the recovery for installation, the OTA zip wasn't installed. So you can unroot, keep the stock recovery and kernel and locked bootloader (you can relock it using fastboot) then you'll receive OTAs. However, I'd suggest, you install a custom recovery and simply flash an OTA when it arrives from the forums. Hope that helped you.
Very helpful indeed! Thanks Bud!

How to flash any MM from Blu Vivo XL stock 5.1

My Blu Vivo XL has original stock 5.1, rooted. Since bought it has two OTA I believe, 2nd one is MM. However since rooted I cannot apply OTA, even used SP-flash to flash back to full stock recovery and unrooted stock ROM. I also got a 100MB update.zip from cache(should be 1st OTA from Blu) but neither TWRP nor stock ROM can flash that zip file.
Now there are a lot of 3rd party ROMs come out, all they need to be MM based ROM to flash. How can I flash my Blu Vivo XL to any MM? Is there MM image I can flash through SP-flash?
Thanks!

Not sure why you cannot flash back to 5.1. If you already have Marshmallow, then follow the thread at:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/viv...allow-t3512157
The scatter file and recovery file (which is "Philz") at the download site then can be flashed with SP Flash Tool.
Many many thanks to lacobIonut-DW. Did I say many thanks?? Thank you lacobIonut-DW for this.

No I have stock 5.1 now, and searched long time but cannot find a way to manully upgrade to MM. Without MM I cannot flash any fun customer ROM in this forum.
As 1st post said, I cannot use OTA to MM even after restored to stock ROM 5.1+stock recovery. So any suggestions on how to manually/force to flash MM is welcome.

My error - I'm not sure why you cannot get MM update over wireless, not you did not have a stock 5.1 ROM. I've gone back-and-forth with 5.1 and 6.0: using Mediatek SP Flash Tool v5.1620.00 and this BLU Vivo XL ROM (Android 5.1) and TWRP 3.0 Recovery:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/vivo-xl/development/roms-t3312297/page2
and Wireless update from 5.1 to 6.0, then flashing (SP Flash Tool v5.1620.00) "Philz" recovery and then rooting MM (as noted earlier) by installing SuperSu.zip. Apparently TWRP can also be flashed to MM using ADB/Fastboot.
I now use only 5.1 because at least 2 of my apps do not fully function with 6.0.
Another option I found useful was Play Store and "DisableService" which gave me the oprtion to disable/enable wireless update in 5.1. I have it disabled.
There are also options to zip MM components (check this forum as well as Google for that, as well as Hovatek, Yahoo and Needrom for possibilities), but that is beyond my knowledge. xda-developers has so much to explore on refining BLU Vivo XL.:good:
Let us know how you make out and if you find any flashable MM ROM

Thanks. I finally got OTA worked and now I have stock MM and Philz Touch V2 on my Blu VIvo XL.
A few questions :
1, The recovery named Philz Touch, but it's not touch version. Did I flash incorrect one?
2, This flash doesn't have ROM backup/restore function?
3, Most important, I used this recovery to flash supersu zip file, tried 2.65, 2.79 and 2.79SR3, all of them reported: Installation aborted.
I've used same 2.79 and 2.79SR3 zips file flashed on many other phones without problem, so the zip files should be OK. What's wrong? which supersu zip you used ?

Too bad I used that MM tWRP flashed this ROM.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/vivo-xl/development/resurrection-remix-os-5-8-2-t3578863
Now it's in boot loop, even I press Vol+ & PWR tried to enter recovery, it doesn't work -- I cannot enter recovery now.
I still can flash through SP Flashtool but is there Blu Vivo XL SP flash-able stock image?

Grabbed straight from SamMobile. Flash using Odin.
Not for j700t1 though, correct?

But how do you root after flashing this Nougat in J700T?

There's all sorts of knowledge in the thread

Anything you see for the J700T is compatible with the J700T1. The phones are exactly the same minus 4 apps inside the system.

Is this Nougat stock rom for the samsung J700T? And how do I root it?
I have a J700T with twrp and root. Is there a nougat ROM that I can download and flash via twrp?
I would rather not go back to stock, flash nougat, and then re-root.

I'm writing this up in case anyone else needs help.
1) Couldn't get the 7.1.1 download to work from sammobile. Ended up downloading the firmware from another source and flashing through Odin. Took a couple of minutes to reboot after the flash.
2) Wanted to get TWRP and Root back on the phone and followed these instructions.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/j700t-development/recovery-galaxy-j7-sm-j700t-t1-t3560342
Now have twrp and root. Everything seems to be working fine.

Once it's been on the screen saying t mobile for at least 10 mins, pull battery, boot to stock recovery, mount system, factory reset, reboot. There. Now u will hear t mobile jingle and it will reach set up wiz

I would recommend using the magisk modified Xposed installer from the magisk stable threads, and install Xposed via magisk. The other xposed doesn't work as well, it says some modules are installed and running, but actually not doing anything. Just a heads up

How strange for me the official xposed works better than the Magisk version, the Magisk version makes my phone restart when I try to rotate the screen.
