Thanks for another option?

I just used WugFresh toolkit, and pressed the "root" button.
Great success!

I used Nexus 4 CF-Auto-Root by Chainfire since I have no recovery. After that I install TWRP.

rooted superSU v1.51 and CWM 6.0.4.3 method nexus 4 running 4.4
flashed cwm touch 6.0.4.3 and rooted this morning.. flash the cwm 6.0.4.3 via cmd prompt in windows using adb and then restart phone into android. move the newest superSU v1.51 on the root of storage. install zip via cwm.. bam. rooted!

Works for me too, with cwm touch 6.0.2.3.
I'm not sure, but I think getting root is only possible if the bootloader is unlocked. Maybe that's why it doesn't work for some people.

Yeah the boot loader HAS to be unlocked or su is denied

Updated to cwm touch 6.0.4.3
Works fine with KitKat 4.4.2

This one is just if they want to unroot for some reason. I will be putting out complete stock options soon also.
So I install stock rom and run this reboot from recovery and I'm back to unrooted stock?

This won't work in stock recovery. It will uproot your system but not replace your kernel or recovery. You can run this and the complete stock firmware zips in my Rom threads to return to a unrooted system with stock firmware.

First, make sure you have a custom recovery installed (TWRP or CWM). Then download the latest supersu flashable ZIP from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu, put it on your SD card and install via TWRP/CWM. That's it.

Nope.. U can't. I already tried editing oem.prop and it didn't work. I guess we need stock recovery of LMY47O.

Problem while installing twrp in my samsung galaxy s advance gt i9070

Respected developers,
A few days ago I had installed kitkat 4.4.2 carbon rom. Then I got the news that 6.0.1 cm13 has been realesed . I watched a couple of videos on how to install it . It needed TWRP for installing it so I flashed twrp kernal.md5 using odin and I am not sure about the file name after that my device was unable to boot then I flashed the stock rom using odin . It worked . Now can I flash that file which I used before to get a twrp now ?
The .md5 file which I used was from xda.
Currently I am using rooted jelly bean 4.1.2 with a temp cwm
You can use this: http://www.androidiani.com/forum/mo...-cyanogenmod-13-di-polishvodka-s-advance.html
Download CM13.zip, install it with temp cwm, do a wipe data and reboot (if cwm ask you about root, select No).

Can I install Xposed using Odin?

Hai! I'm new here so if this isn't the place to put it so sorry!
Anyways so I've always wanted to install Xposed, but there are always things getting in my way, until I saw a Xposed file that would work for me perfectly! But I don't have an recovery, the tutorial I took just made me use Odin, but I am rooted with busybox. (if that's important.) Anyways so I saw how to install an custom recovery, then I saw you had to unlock your bootloader, I had to google how to check if it was unlocked and it wasn't, so I then googled how to unlock bootloader and saw you had to delete your files. Now even if I get to backup and restore, I don't like factory resetting things. Until I remembered Odin, I googled it and saw it could flash. So i'm wondering...
Can I installed Xposed using Odin? Or atleast flash an custom recovery to it using Odin without unlocking my bootloader?
Here is my tablet's stats.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A Lollipop 5.0.2 Rooted (Busybox Installed.) Stock Rom Touchwiz SM-T350
No, you can't flash with Odin. Only cwm or twrp

You should install the framework zip via custom recovery only.
1) Flash TWRP (or CWM or Philz or whatever is available for your device) in Odin
2) Reboot into recovery mode and you will be in this new custom recovery you just put on
3) Flash the xposed framework
4) ?????????
5) Profit!
