How to simply root FRF85B

Hi all,
Please how to simply root Nexus One?
This tutorial is to hard "
[Tutorial] Root FRF85B/FRF83/FRF72 (T-Mo/AT&T) Without Unlocking (100% Confirmed) "
No superboot.zip available for FRF85B?

Simply root = unlock bootloader. The second tutorial.
superboot.zip has nothing to do with the way of rooting. Rooting needs to bypass device protection to flash a non-certified update. So you either use exploits, or use the built-in protection override (fastboot oem unlock).

Depends on the status of your bootloader really.
If you want to keep it locked then that tutorial is your only hope.

I have unlocked bootloader but no superuser.apk and no Root privilege
About second Tutorial, we need linux....

If you have unlocked bootloader, what's the problem flashing pre-rooted FRF85B?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714184

I have already flashing my Nexus with Unrooted version because i had signature problem with pre-rooted version.
Now to re-install pre-rooted FRF85 version i need Custom Recovery but I need root to install custom recovery...
No way to have superboot.bat to simply rooted my FRF85?

To install custom recovery you only need to flash it via fastboot, since your bootloader is unlocked.
You can also use ROOT_FRF83 file from the "difficult" thread, if I'm not mistaken.

Thank's for your reply.
I will install custom Recovery to flash with pre-rooted version.
I need wipe before flashing with pre-rooted version?

No wipe needed.

About Custom recovery :
Pre-Requirements :
- unlocked bootloader : How to unlock the bootloader.
- root access : Modaco's superboot.
I have install recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1.img without rooting my nexus and now I have exclamation mark with a little Android...

Ok, did some search for you. Next time try - search button, "FRF85 root".
Reflash the stock recovery back.
Then use this:
http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?p=67177#post67177
Under "ROOT".

i have re-flash with stock recovery 2 times but still exclamation mark with a little Android.
Ok i push "Vol+" and "power", stock recoveruy appear
apply sdcard:update.zip (update-nexusone-FRF85-root-sig.zip from HTC EPIA)
--> E:signature verification failed..
Installation aborded

What about ROOT_FRF83.ZIP - did you try?

ROOT_FRF83.zip is for locked bootloader... mine is unlocked.
As i see i need linux and to make this command to root my stock FRF85B..
16) Download the following to the root of your SDcard
- recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1.img: http://rapidshare.com/files/39326736...s-v1.7.0.1.img
- Note: UnMount your SDcard after copying these files, but keep your phone plugged in
17) In your terminal type "adb shell" and hit Enter
18) In your terminal type "su" and hit Enter
- Tip: At this point, it will hang until you choose "Allow" on your phone with the SuperUser app pop-up
- Tip: $ should now be replaced with #
19) In your terminal, type "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system" and hit Enter
20) In your terminal, type "cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image" and hit Enter
21) In your terminal, type "chmod 775 /system/bin/flash_image" and hit Enter
22) In your terminal, type "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1.img" and hit Enter
23) In your terminal, type "rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh" and hit Enter
24) In your terminal, type "rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p" and hit Enter

ROOT_FRF83 is for ANY bootloader. It doesn't care about bootloader.
Download it to your SD card, rename to update.zip and apply. It might not work - in this case, you have nothing to do but to follow the other guide, or wait until someone makes FRF85B superboot for stock ROM and recovery.
The part you've quoted is way past the actual root. Read the thread again, the root ends much earlier.
You need to do steps 1-15, and you need no Linux.

I checked again in Paul's thread, STOCK to CM.
There is NO requirement for root to flash custom recovery through fastboot. Otherwise fastboot wouldn't help any in rooting - think yourself, you need root to flash recovery, and you need recovery to flash root?
Here's a quote from there:
- If you get a Triangle with a ! in the middle alongside an Android for 5+ minutes, you MAY have to remove battery and re-flash recovery (I had to do this once.) (Make absolutely sure that nothing is happening on your phone, as removing the battery when it's doing something can cause a brick.)
So you can try this one and flash AmonRa's recovery again. If it doesn't work, and it turns out that you need Modaco's superboot (which doesn't exist for your version) - then you're back to the second guide.

I have always triangle with a ! after removing batterie, AmonRa's recovery won't appear...
I will wait superboot from paul.

Step by Step how to get root from FRF85B stock (with unlocked bootloader) :
- Download AmonRa Custom Recovery and put it where google SDK, Tool folder, is installed.
- Download update-nexusone-FRF85-root-sig.zip and rename it update.zip and put it on the root of your SDCARD
1) Switch off the nexus
2) Hold the Trackball and Power button
3) fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your phone)
4) fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1.img
5) Don't reboot nexus! just chose "bootloader" from menu, after nexus reboot automaticly, chose recovery

Rooting for Noobs 101 - Learn how to root your phone here!

I wrote this Noob manual to help others achieve the same goal: Root the Nexus One. Thanks goes out to the XDA forums for such fantastic community support. In my quest to root, was overwhelmed and confused with the various ways to do it. Should you root by unlocking the bootloader or not, should you downgrade, then upgrade, which recovery image to use, how to flash a recovery image, everything shows "superboot" bla bla bla. We all have the same questions, but this can be a pain-staking process to find the answers. Here's a short guide that may help you root the phone.
Overview of the process: A) Unlock Bootloader B) Flash Recovery Image C) Install Rom through Recovery. D) Phone now unlocked and rooted.
1) Setup adb and confirm it's working by reading your serial number.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=613217
2) Unlock bootloader (voids warranty but htc may still repair). Turn on USB debugging (may need to toggle usb debugging off to move files to sd card, then back on for adb). Reboot phone into fastboot:
Power off device and hold down trackball while powering back on. The fastboot screen is the one with the Androids on skateboards.
Open a command prompt and navigate to your Android SDK tools folder.
Type ‘fastboot devices‘ to make sure your phone is recognized.
Type ‘fastboot oem unlock‘ to unlock the bootloader.
Use volume keys to navigate to yes and press the power button to confirm.
3) Flash Aman RA Recovery in fastboot (immediately following flash, go into recovery console before rebooting or the recovery image may not show up). The stock rom will re-flash recovery during boot because of scripts. Recovery rom should be placed in adb folder. To reboot into recovery from adb type 'reboot recovery'. Copy the recovery file to your Android SDK tools folder. Open a command prompt and navigate to your Android SDK tools folder. Type ‘fastboot flash recovery recovery.img‘ (or whatever the recovery file name is).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829
4) While in fastboot, select "Recovery" and new Recovery screen shows up. FRF91 signed image or custom rom should be on the sd card.
Download signed FRF91 signed image for rooting (only after adb is working, the bootloader has been unlocked and recovery image successfully flashed.
5) Flash Froyo 2.2 rooted & signed update file.
(update-nexusone-FRF91-root-signed.zip)

If this was done correctly, your phone is now rooted.

thx for your work
but also we have a this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636795

will this method wipe my data? and is the superboot method any easier?
Thanks!

Worked like a champ! Oh and yes it will wipe all your data... I thought maybe it wouldn't since you didn't say, but it did... oh well it's all backed up in my gmail, so it'll be ok.

How to Root Android 5.0 (LRX21O) for Nexus 5

Hey guys,
So i'm sure this is probably already out there, but I wanted to give everyone my method of success with rooting the latest version on Android (5.0) on our N5. Here it is:
Prereqs: You'll need to have these downloaded first
TWRP - Download to your Computer
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/hammerhead/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-hammerhead.img
SuperUser v2.19 - Download to your Phone
http://click.xda-developers.com/api...ainfire.eu/593/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.19.zip
Platform Tools - Download to your Computer
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390355257214632011
Steps
1) Download SuperUser v2.19 to your phone.
2) Turn off your phone, and reboot into the BootLoader by holding Power + Vol (-). Wait until you see the Green Android Robot.
3) Plug your phone via Micro USB to your Computer.
4) Download and Extract Platform Tools in a "New Folder" on your C: Drive. Give the folder an easy name such as "N5" or something similiar
5) Download and Extract the TWRP recovery image to the "New Folder". Rename the "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-hammerhead.img" to "Recovery". NOTE: It may ask you to overwrite the exisiting recovery image (if applicable). Select Ok/Yes
6) Open your Command Prompt (Windows) and type the following: (You can copy and paste if you'd like)
* cd..\..
* cd c:\(Your New Folder)
* fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
6) Let TWRP flash to your phone (Should take no more than ~10 secs).
7) Toggle your phone to "Recovery" by using the Voume Up/Down keys. Press the Power button to select/confirm.
8) Once TWRP has loaded, press the "Install" icon, followed by "Zip File", and proceed to the "Downloads" folder that you have the SuperUser v2.19 zip downloaded.
9) Select the zip and confirm by swiping at the bottom.
10) Reboot back to the "System"
11) Done
_______________________________________________________________________________
I tried to be as clear as I could with this write up, so I hope this makes sense. It really is straight forward.
Although I'm definitely not the one who came up with this method or files, I wanted to share what worked best for me to Root my N5 running the 5.0 OTA.
If this helped you get root back or makes sense, give a "Thanks".
Take it easy...

Thank you for posting this. I tried three other methods to get root back before this, and none of them worked. This one did the trick without any problems at all. Thanks again!

I know there's Toolkit's out there, but this is for those who choose to take the "Fastboot" approach.

What part are you stuck at?

For me, I needed to erase cache for the TWRP to stick. Otherwise, when I rebooted it was gone and was using the default recovery.
Use the command:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
before
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
if you have the same problem installing TWRP.

I used chainfires auto root for the N5 (stock lollipop Boot loader). Worked great. Just download to a PC put phone into boot loader and run the bat file. I can't link but a quick google will find it for you.

Good find. Didn't happen to me, but i'm sure it may to others. Were you all set afterwards with Root?

Personally, I'm using the autoroot from chainfire. Works like a charm, no custom recovery is needed (I have the stock recovery).

Are you running the official lollipop release? It should work with that. Delete the app, and try again.

Just put your phone in bootloader and run cf-autoroot from windows if you dont want twrp.

I have twrp but its not working like that

Had the same issue and needed to flash the updated kernel from chainfire : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655047375

Why are you trying to do this the hard way? Just use chainfire's autoroot.
It works perfect and it's literally one command
fastboot boot CHautoroot.img (or whatever the file name is)

cf-auto-root is the way
I agree, just use cf-auto-root. You should be good to go in no time.
Just for FYI, if you already have unlocked bootloader, it won't wipe your data, if you are concerned.
CF-auto-root roots N5 without modifying your kernel. I believe, if you flash the SuperSU in TWRP, it would modify the kernel. It's nothing bad, but if you want to remain "stock" and don't want to reflash stock ROM later to get the OTA, just use "Full unroot" from SuperSU app and you are stock and ready for next OTA.

I have encrypted the storage on my Nexus 5. Will CF-Auto-Root wipe my storage?

I have the same error.

TWRP 3.0.2 for Acer Predator 8 ported by Ruben.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ROOTING:
After flashing TWRP 3.0.2, use the SuperSU 2.46 flashable zip, do NOT use latest version or will result in a bootloop. Good Luck and have fun with rooting.
REQUIREMENTS
1- Unlocked Bootloader (search on google if you dont know how to unlock)
2- Drivers and Adb/Fastboot commands knowledge
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New TWRP bugfix update! Now you can flash stock rom on TWRP without bricking! Download Page updated!
Bugs:
1- adb shell command needs to be sent before system partition is mounted or it will give an error, after doing adb shell you can mount system and do all the modifications you need.
2- You cant flash any img on twrp it gives an error, im trying to fix.
3- Backups do work, but everytime twrp restarts, the serial number folder seems to change (which means that on /TWRP/BACKUPS/serialnumber/backupsinside/ changes every reboot so you have to go get the backup inside the old serialnumber folder and put on the new serialnumber folder).
Im leaving an unsecured boot image because system does not boot android if anything seems changed. So please if system does not boot after flashing twrp/rooting, flash the unsecured boot img on fastboot
Steps to Install TWRP and root
1. Download and extrct the files: https : // drive. google . com/file/d/0BxzG5iupOOSKNTdlRC1Wd0VmTlk/view
2. Power off the tablet.
3. Enter fastboot mode by pressing the power button while holding down Vol -
4. Open up command prompt and navigate to the directory where fastboot.exe is located.
5. Pass the following commands:
fastboot flash boot unsecuredboot.img
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
6. Reboot into recovery (TWRP) and install SuperSU v2.46.zip ---
Continuation 6. Step by Step of Step 6 since people seem to have been running into issues with it:
After rebooting to TWRP and having SuperSU.zip in the tablet storage. Go on Install tab and press the supersu file and install/flash it then reboot the device.

[ROOT][TB-X605F/L] Magisk for those who cant use TWRP!

thanks to yahoo mike for solving the problem with the TWRP not working, you're a saint!
due to the fact that i want to prevent the painful process of trying to find out which twrp works for TB-X605L_S210224_200910_ROW, i will have to point it out to those who have the kind of firmware installed on their Lenovo Tab M10 and try to use TWRP version higher than 4.0 and it doesnt work - TWRP will never work, but there's still a way out for people who want root:
THE MAGISK BOOT.IMG METHOD IN THE FLESH FOR PEOPLE WHOSE TABLETS CANT GET ROOTED THE TWRP WAY!
Disclaimer: the boot.img file which was patched by magisk only works with TB-X605L_S210224_200910_ROW
For other versions you have to use LMSA to snatch the firmware and get the specific files.
This method also works on TB-X605X - same LMSA procedure, same result.
what will you need:
the first and important one - knowledge that i dont care if you couldnt use your 2 brain cells to follow the steps and proceed to brick the device by slapping a boot image on a recovery one and the fact that if you havent started the process yet your data (if theyre not backed up) will be WIPED
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2 - a tablet, obviously (common sense)
3 - a computer
4 - Android SDK platform tools
5 - boot.img with magisk installed on it
6 (optional) - If you have no ramdisk, LMSA to at least get the recovery.img file
THE STEPS:
if you havent started the rooting process yet:
Spoiler
Code:
1 - Go to device details and tap the serial number 7 times, dev mode should activate
2 - Go to dev settings and activate OEM unlocking and USB debugging
3 - On your computer you should have downloaded SDK platform tools, extract in C:/
4 - Afterwards get into the platform-tools folder, click the path line and type CMD
5 - Type adb devices to see if it installed correctly, your device should appear
6 - Type adb reboot bootloader, wait until the device reboots, you should see FASTBOOT MODE in red text
7 (LAST CHANCE TO BACK UP YOUR FILES, IF YOU PROCEED YOUR UNBACKED DATA WILL BE PERMANENTLY WIPED) - Type this: fastboot oem unlock-go
8 - type fastboot reboot
YOU MAY PROCEED TO THE ROOTING PROCESS PART 2.
If you already unlocked OEM (ROOTING PROCESS PART 2):
1 - Go on your device and download Magisk Manager (Version is 23.0)
2 - install the APK file
3 - open magisk manager and check the ramdisk
We will look at 2 situations:
Yay! Ramdisk is checked as Yes! The process will be hassle free and you wont have to use LMSA to get the firmware!:
Spoiler
Code:
1 - On your computer put the modified boot.img file into the platform-tools folder (Dont worry, it doesnt bite)
2 - Move on to the CMD prompt and enter: adb reboot bootloader
3 - then type in: fastboot flash boot (THE FILE)
4 - after that reboot your device by typing in: fastboot reboot
5 - HURRAH! Now you have installed root using the boot method AND without TWRP! Its best to check it with root checker for best measure though.
OH HELL NAH! IN THIS RARE CIRCUMSTANCE YOUR RAMDISK IS LITERALLY NONEXISTANT AS CONFIRMED BY THE CHECKED NO! HERE'S THE HARD WAY:
Spoiler
Code:
1 - If not already, download LMSA (or just search on the internet lul)
2 - Install LMSA and make sure you have connected your device to the computer
3 - Go to the Rescue tab and download the Firmware
4 - the path should be C:\ProgramData\LMSA\Download\RomFiles\TB-X605L_S210224_200910_ROW, you should see recovery.img
5 - snatch it and then place it into the download folder of your device
6 - use magisk manager to install magisk on the recovery image (MAKE SURE TO CHECK RECOVERY MODE IN MAGISK MANAGER OPTIONS, IT MUST BE CHECKED!!!!)
7 - snatch it by typing the command into the command prompt: adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched_[random_strings].img
8 - boot your device into bootloader with this: adb reboot bootloader
9 - now flash it into recovery: fastboot flash recovery magisk_patched_[random strings].img
10 - reboot with fastboot reboot
11 - Congrats, you got root! Unfortunately for you and your nonexistant ramdisk you have to boot into recovery to run the system with magisk
12 - use the recovery key combo until you see the splash screen, then release the keys. You will boot into magisk as it hijacks the recovery
13 - and thats how you root without ramdisk! you have gone through the entire pain of having to now use the recovery combo and releasing keys in order to boot into the system with root, but hey, you got root!
if you brick your device and/or meet the device reaper under the name of QUALCOMM USB DIAGNOSTIC, you're pretty much dead and i do not take any responsibility. that was your choice to go with this method.
if you blame me for anything ranging from alarm clock app failing and cant wake you up because it couldnt access the vibration and/or sound to a god forsaken thermonuclear war because the error code of the qualcomm usb diagnostic somehow gave you nuclear access codes, here's the response: COPE AND SEETHE
