So I made a tutorial to show you how to root your Nexus 4.
Original Therad (thanks to nhsha7):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233852
What is needed:
(Android SDK recommend but not necessary, only for connection problems)
1. Google USB drivers
2. Developer Option enabled
(open in the Settings About Phone and press 7 times on the build number)
How to root:
1. Download Motochopper from here:
Download from here
2. Enable USB-Debugging in the Developer Settings
3. Unzip the file
4. Connect your Nexus with your Computer.
5. execute the bat (if you are on Linux or OSX, execute the sh file)
6. Wait it'll reboot automatic
7. Enjoy
I tested it with my Nexus 4 (Android 4.2.2) and it works
So, now you can unlock easy your Bootloader with the BootUnlocker App without wiping
Press Thanks if i helped you

The same thing can be achieved if you don't reboot after you unlock the bootloader just flash a custom recovery flash SU zip and wipe cache then reboot=no data lost. No need for a toolkit

But this is a easy method to root the phone without unlocking, fastboot flash or recovery. A only Root method
So you can unlock with bootunlocker app without wipe

What I said won't wipe anything either.
There is also a thread on this already

By "unlock USB debugging in developer settings you mean tick or untick this option?
Also, if I want to unroot, may I do it with mskip's nexus 4 toolkit?

Good post. I actually did this myself a few days ago to root/unlock. Motochopper was easy, just had to hit enter when prompted. Though I did need to update my adb tool since it was outdated, probably from older motochopper package.
Motochopper and BookUnlocker app made it very easy for me and I didn't have to wipe my phone to do it.

Yes i used this way Tod install CM and let my intern SD card still alive

Thanks! I wasn't aware that there was an exploit for 4.2.2 (or anything later than 4.1.2 for that matter).

Has anyone already tried this method on 4.3?

Framaroot achieves rooting without unlocking too. And it's much simpler.

Can I use this with Android 4.3 stock?

[Q] Rooting VS98024A

So I just updated my previously rooted LG G2 to Kit Kat with the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant and all seems to be working great
I'm kind of confused about how rooting it again works.
Phone phone shows that it is still rooted in some places:
- About phone -> status -> rooting status = Rooted
- Holding down the power and volume down key for factory reset on device boot shows ROOTED up in the top left.
But the app is used last time to verify my root, Root Verifier, says NOT ROOTED after checking.
It's not rooted obviously since applications such as SuperSU are telling me they need root to run again.
Is it possible to re-root my phone on VS98024A?
Or will the root not work since the version is newer and not in that links list of compatible firmware?

How did you do the update?
Did you have a custom recovery and then install stock recovery to do the OTA?

Ioroot 25 work, i ve rooted my lg. I updated my lg to kk using verizon software updater. I just follow the instruction and the phone began to reebot into stock recovery. Follow the instruction then you rooted.
VS980 Verizon

Install LG G2 drivers, Download ioroot25, plug in USB and select Internet Connection >> Ethernet and then enable debugging for the ADB to see your phone. You can test this by running command prompt inside the ioroot25 folder (shift right click and open Command Prompt) and then typing 'adb devices' w/o quotes, if it lists your device then you are good to be rooted

So which post is correct OP, this one or this one that you posted

Having same issue. I'm using ioroot25.

Use towelroot to root 24A and then use autorec to install custom recovery.
BE VERY CAREFUL with autorec, as you install recovery based on your phone's model number.
Absolutely no computer is necessary to root 24A OTA. No data lost either.

[Q] Recovery Mode on LG Optimus L90 (D415)

I'm trying to root my T-Mobile L90 as per this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2732311
But T-Mobile has locked out Recovery Mode so that button combinations and "adb reboot recovery" do not work.
Does anybody know of a way that I can remove this restriction or force recovery mode?

I tried this, no dice. ADB simply spat out a list of accepted commands and arguments.

My bad, I got it mixed up. It's:
adb shell
reboot recovery
I don't have the phone and just remembered something about it from the other day. Found this for you:
http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-root-lg-l90.html

I have used abd shell to try and run both "reboot recovery" and "reboot bootloader" commands, to no avail.
That link is an identical rooting guide to the one I linked, it doesn't have any information about dealing with T-Mobile devices locked out of recovery mode =(

Hmm. Thought that was the whole point of having to use those commands because 99% of other phones get to recovery just from:
adb reboot recovery
only.
I found another thread that explained it's an issue with just some Tmo and Metro versions. Weird. They aren't like that on their premium phones but more...mid grade ones they are? Doesn't make much sense.

So is it not possible to root the t-Mobile L90??

Not that I've seen posted anywhere. I believe that the L70 for Metro and Tmo suffer from the same issue.

Easily. Either via CF-Root or via custom recovery + SuperSU zip or custom rom.

There is a root for LG L90 D415!!!
I have been looking for a root for a few days and have finally found one!!!
STEPS:
1. Go to Towelroot.com and click the icon.
2.After Installing APK Reboot Device.

You would have to downgrade your firmware version to 10c first to root using TowelRoot (the easiest method). Then you can use the LG Flash Tool and the 10c kdz to do so. After the flash completes, TowelRoot will work. Then put the twrp on your sd card (preferably the phone sd) and follow the steps in the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2770938&page=156 post #1560
Took me some time, but now my phone is rooted. OH, and don't forget to disable OTA updates:
You can do this by dialing the following code: 3845#*415#
Having entered the system menu, scroll to WLAN Test.
Select OTA Setting option and turn it off by tapping the Disable button.

Because TowelRoot alters the system to enable root. Any program which modifies system files that is not specifically anti-virus software is usually seen as a virus.

Because it's a hack. Very common with apps like that and over aggressive AV programs. Long as you got it from the official site, the warnings mean nothing and are just an annoyance.

[How-To] Root and unlock the bootloader of the Nexus 4/5 without wiping data

This is a tutorial on how to root and unlock the bootloader of the nexus 4 without wiping any data!
Note: I'm not responsible for any damage on your phone! You choose to do these modifications and you are responsible for any problems!
I tested this on Android 4.4.3, but you may try it on other android versions, too. Please report if it works
Devices you can root using this app:
- Nexus 4: 4.4.3, 4.4.4
- Nexus 5, 4.4.3
1. Install the towelroot app (xda thread) from the project site! Please thank geohot, he made this possible!
2. Open the app and click on "make it ra1n"
3. Wait 15 seconds and the phone will reboot!
Congratulations! Your phone is rooted now!
4. Install either SuperSu or Superuser
a) In the app update your binary the "normal way" (without a custom recovery)
b)
1. Install BootUnlocker for nexus devices to unlock your bootloader! In the app, click "unlock" to unlock it!
2. Now you are able to install a custom recovery like TWRP or cwm
3. Boot up your system again, open SuperSu or Superuser and update the binary (using "TWRP/CWM")
This is it! You're rooted now and you can easily unlock/relock your bootloader using the BootUnlocker app without wiping any data
Note: This was not my work! I just wrote down some steps to root and unlock
How to unroot:
1. Reflash the stock recovery image/stock kernel/etc (only necessary if you are running a custom kernel/recovery/etc)
2. Open BootUnlocker and lock the bootloader. Now you are able to uninstall the app!
3. Open SuperSu -> Settings -> Full unroot. This will unroot your phone and the app will automatically be uninstalled.
4. Reboot and done

noob clarifications
Hey, came across your post in another post where you mentioned this method would prevent the posibility of the phone being wiped when unlocked + rooted via "traditional" methods using a PC w SDK etc. Phone at present is locked, unrooted stock Nexus 4 kitkat 4.4.4 stock.
Just wanted to clarify a few points since this is the first time I've come across a method where the phone is rooted and unlocked from within itself (I've rooted and unlocked a HTC desire back in my heydays).
--- Do I need to unlock the phone if I just want to change the kernel from stock to the Matr1x kernel? (I had taken unlocking as a given as it was the first step in every guide - there is no mention of steps on how to actually install the kernel but I was going to research that process once root and unlock was done successfully)
--- Any chance you can give steps on updating the binary the 'normal' way? (never done this before)
--- How do you install CWM using your method? Again, I have only seen it being installed via command lines from the PC
Apologies in advance for the dumb questions but searched and couldn't find any clear answers for those steps that I'm not understanding

1. To flash a kernel you have to unlock your bootloader, that's right. You just flash it using your PC and fastboot, there are many guides on how to do that
2. If your phone is rooted and you have SuperSU installed there'll be a popup and it'll tell you to update the binary before using the app. You are able to select the "normal" way then without a recovery
3. You can install CWM/TWRP using your PC in fastboot mode!
No problem, just ask :good:

Can the usual commandline methods for other things be used after this?

If you mean fastboot commands for example to flash another kernel/recovery/etc, yes! There's no difference between unlocking using this method or another "old" one, but this one doesn't wipe data

yes. can also be used flashify to flash recovery.img without PC

I think I'll give it a try then (assuming there's no risk of bricking my phone or doing irreversible damage). On that subject, is there an easy way to lock the bootloader and unroot?

Note: with TowelRoot v3 it isn't necessary reboot, but when I've tried to update SuperSu it fails so reboot and that's all
Thanks so much!

I apologize for asking so many questions but what exactly is "updating the binaries". Is that just for the app itself or does it do something to the phone?

These two are basically the same, as they are apps to manage the superuser permissions of other apps. You may use the one you like

That was easy
Of course I don't see this thread unitl after I spent the last hour setting everything up in Ubuntu to root the old fashioned way! Used this and was rooted in no time.

Super SU does require root. I was confused by his answer as well. I wondered if I could use the latest Base for my phone from Autoroot but I'm not willing to risk it without knowing for sure.

haha i assumed so just wanted to clarify

Just out of stupidity, and morbid curiosity I tried to Autoroot the last known good rom from that site. And it failed with a FRP lock error message. I'm surprised it didn't brick.

Hey why don't you make your own rom. Pretty easy... you customize it to your like, I made mine and it's pretty stable. And it roots it from pc

Also auto root still work. At least it did on mine phone

I don't think you understand. The rom isn't the issue here, It's getting root access that's the problem.
