Problem with Hasoon2000's all in one kit

I noticed that in the most recent version of Hasoon2000's kit, when I tried to use the "APK Installer" function, a file was missing, and thus I was unable to install SuperSU Binary. If there is a fix or a work-around, it would be incredible useful if someone could tell me about it. (I am new to this place, and I can't post on the dev's thread or else I would)
I also can't post images it seems.. uggh.

I would recommend just flashing the SU package manually. If you already did the step of flashing a custom recovery, the next step is really simple.
Here's all you have to do:
1) Go into the folder of Hasoon's tool, then into Data, then into SU
2) Copy the SuperSU.zip to your SD card
3) Reboot your phone into recovery (hold pwr button and vol down as the phone powers up)
4) Choose Recovery
5) In which ever recovery you have, find the install option, browse for the SuperSU.zip
6) Flash!
7) Reboot and enjoy root
Hope that helps!
Edit: Ha! I just looked at the script for installing root from Hasoon's tool. Literally all it does is copy that SuperSU.zip to your SD card, then displays the same instructions I have above but in less detail.

[SOLVED] Rooting the OTA updated UVMA1 build

See several posts below for the steps that worked for me
I'm posting this here because my post in the Q&A forums has received zero replies.
I feel like I've tried everything. I installed the UVMA1 over-the-air update and have lost and am unable to regain root. I seriously need a solution to this.
Has anyone been able to root the most updated SGH-T879 with the UVMA1 build?

Re: [Q] Rooting the OTA updated UVMA1 build
You have to do following steps
1.download CWM recovery. tar
2.download odin flashable CWM touch recovery.tar
3.go to download mode
4.flash the UVAM1.tar file through odin
5.flash the CWM recovery.tar through odin
6.flash the CWM touch recovery.tar through odin
7.go to recovery mode flash the super user
8.reboot
You should be okay...
I hope that it helping you to Root the phone.
Let me know if you did.
Good luck..

Flash the CWM recovery tar through Odin.

After CWM has been installed, flash superusers through recovery.
https://www.onlinefilefolder.com/3sRc8Cz8TcpOLC
To change recovery to TWRP (which most people seem to prefer now days) flash TWRP zip through CWM recovery. I like this method better than trying to install TWRP through Goomanager, I always have trouble with that for some reason.
Paste below address into your browser
goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/sgh-t879/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1-sgh-879.zip
Now your phone is rooted and you have TWRP.

Re: [Q] Rooting the OTA updated UVMA1 build
I did as same as it.
But. I couldn't go to recovery
That is why important that make it sure flashing CWM touch recovery.tar through odin.
Maybe just my phone?.
Thank you.

I got my phone to root, but have been unable to change the recovery so I can switch to 4.2.2.

I will clean this up as time permits.
Success!
Through trial and error, on Ubuntu and Windows, I have managed to successfully root the UVMA1 build. I did not screenshot the process so I'll be going from memory. On the other hand I will post a stock backup of the ROM for everyone to use as needed.
This did not work on Ubuntu, had to use Windows.
You will need:
Android Tools SDK
CWM
most recent ODIN
Superuser zip
Steps:
download Android Tools SDK.
Extract to your C: on your windows machine
Open command prompt and navigate to the Platform-Tools directory
enable debugging mode on your Note (Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging
Leaving your phone on, connect via USB to your computer
wait while the Samsung drivers load
On command prompt type "adb reboot-bootloader" or "adb reboot bootloader" and wait (might need to try both)
Your phone should reboot into downloader mode
Open the newest version of ODIN
In Odin, nothing significant will change, I only saw a blue box in the first square top left
Click on 'Bootloader' button and select the tar.md5 file from Tomin's Goodies thread (link to come later)
In Odin, click on Start
Odin will scroll some text in the little window (bottom left) and then stop. I waited about five minutes. Nothing changed.
Disconnect your phone, pull the battery, press the power button (to dissipate magic electrons), put the battery back in and turn the phone on
Your phone should show a screen saying there is an issue with the Firmware and to use Samsung Kies to fix it. IGNORE THIS, don't do anything
Reconnect phone to PC via USB
wait about 30 seconds for the computer
In Odin, press Start again.
Odin should do something differently than the first time, you should see the top left window go green and 'Reset Ok' in the bottom left window.
Your phone will reboot. If it loads to Android then go to the command prompt window on your PC and type 'adb reboot recovery'
wait about a minute. CWM should load on your phone.
Now is the time to install Superuser zip through CWM.
Additionally, clear dalvik and other caches, reset permissions and backup your rom to external SD card now.
If anyone tries this, please document the process with screenshots so we can create a more comprehensive tutorial.

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).

Everything is working, but then SuperSU can´t find a Binary.

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?

[Emergency Guide] How to Blank or regenerate Watch (WA 5.01) after clearing \system

[Emergency Guide] How to Blank or regenerate Watch (WA 5.01) after clearing \system
Prerequisit :
Be sure to have latest adb (1.0.32) and fastboot version. Download it from here
Link to know how to enter into fastboot
Under Fastboot
Download boot from here
Code:
- fastboot flash boot bootll.img
Download TWRP recovery from here
Code:
- fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Go to Recovery and format all twice with TWRP recovery
Flashing back stock recovery :
Download stock recovery from here
Code:
- fastboot flash recovery recoverll.img
Back to stock recovery, format twice
Regenereting system step :
Download rooted AW 5.01 system directory from here
Code:
- fastboot flash system system.img
Go back to stock recovery, Choose apply update from ADB (adb sideload)
Download AW 5.01 update from here
Code:
- adb sideload 149e0c34d0ab10d3e356d6301915dcc04552d9db.signed-lenok-LWX48P-from-KNX01R.149e0c34.zip
Reboot system now. Choose langage, etc.
Nota : At this time, if you don't need root and Chainfire SU (witch is useless at this time) you can go just for flashing TWRP by :
Code:
- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
And that's it.
Or following steps : Rooting back Watch and custom TWRP Recovery support
Download stock rooted AW 5.01 system directory from here
Code:
- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot flash system system.img
Reboot Watch, autorize adb debug on the watch
Download Chainfire SU 2.40 from here or BETA-SuperSU-v2.42.zip
Note : You can remove Superuser.apk from the zip file into \common recovery which it is not compatible with AW 5.01
Pushing SU to the watch
Code:
- adb push supersu.zip /sdcard/su.zip
Back to Fastmod and flashing TWRP advanced recovery
Code:
- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Restart watch and go to TWRP recovery, install/flash su.zip from sdcard, reboot
Et Voilà !

Nice write up, I'm not sure doing the adb sideload does anything though. The system image is already patched, it was a backup from my device just rooted. Currently I have busybox working on the device and and working on init.d support so any changes we want to make will survive after reboot.

It'ill be nice :good:

HELP
I've done everything to try to get back to AW 5.01 but when I get to the adb sidelload part it says "error: device not found".
It's seem that windows 8 is not detecting my watch. Anyone have any insight on this would be great thanks!
Jay
edit...
Never Mind Got it to Work!

How did you get it to work?

I managed it, too. Turns out I had to reinstall drivers while in sideload mode. You can do it in device manager, select from computer, from list and find ADB composite device.

Hey guys, I accidentaly installed supersu apk on my watch and now I can see it in the menu all the time. How can I remove it from /system/app/SuperSu? Do I have to root first in order to gain rw rights on /system, remove whole SuperSu folder than do a factory reset for example and it won't show up anymore?

razr i kitkat root method via twrp

hello xda people,i thought i might share this with you since i've tested and done it myself about rooting kitkat eu update.My bootloader was factory locked and proceeded unlocking it and i barely managed to install Hazou's unoficial twrp recovery(see this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2278483) wich was done via fastboot,but mostly even after the custom recovery install i didn't managed to get root on kitkat,so i've tried ChainsDD superSU update pack witch seems to resolve the problem because the update package installs the propper package according to system specs,so if anyone there wishing to root or doesn't quite figure out,here's an simple how to:
1Make sure you have all the drivers installed.
2install or download android sdk
3 from the sdk,copy on your desktop platform-tools (for easier job)
4 download recovery image from Hazou thread,see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2278483 extract and place it on platform-tools folder you copied on your desktop
5in platform-tools folder open cmd line and enter your phone in fastboot
6type "fastboot devices" without quotes
7 if your device is listed,type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8now after cmd confirms if the flash was succesfull, either head to recovery from fastboot mode and see if twrp is installed,if it does keep your phone connected to pc
9 download chainsDD superSU update to external sd,link to download https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8m4rdNFVU4_YjV4X2gtUjNhZVE/view?usp=sharing
10 install via twrp,wipe davik+cache, reboot and enjoy

You can get the latest CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP from here. It has x86 support and works on the Razr i.

I like this method, you're always left with a fallback or the option to the Rom flash again or use an alternate when using recovery, I've started to prefer TWRP over clockwork recently
