The same steps are required to root the phone on 5.0.2 as on any other version: Flash twrp recovery, flash the latest SU.

I flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip in TWRP recovery and when I go to verify root it says I am not rooted. Am I doing something wrong?

Stock 23.1.A.1.28

New unknown update available. Anybody installed it? No idea if root is available..
I have rooted 23.1.A.0.690 iwth working system rw and recovery. Should I do the OTA update, or will I lose all the goodies? If no, how should I proceed?
Same question here...
Apparently they managed to overcome supersu's survival... So I'd rather wait for a pre-rooted flashable .zip, just to be sure...

Yes they overcame SuperSU's survival, but I have made a pre-rooted firmware which you flash in recovery so just CLICK HERE and follow the insturctions it is stock firmware and will work on the D5833 or D5803

[Q] How to update from 4.4 to 5.1 properly ?

Hi everyone,
I know there is a lot of answers on this forum but it's difficult to find exactly what I ask.
My (european) Moto X 2014 (XT1092) is still in Android 4.4 rooted, with unlocked bootloader and no recovery.
I would like to update to Lollipop 5.1, be rooted and with Xposed installed. I don't want to brick my phone, and I would like some advices on how to do that, what are the steps ?
Thanks
If you haven't already update to 5.0 you could flash 4.4.4/5.0 and then OTA to 5.1

Do I have to unroot my phone before flashing or something like that?
No,flashing will unroot your device.Backup before.

Ok thank's ! By backup you mean manually or use an app to entirely backup the system and data ?
Do I have to root the phone on 5.0 and then update to 5.1 ?
You can fastboot boot twrp and make a backup,just to be safe,it's not mandatory. Flash 5.0 and then check for update.

Ok ! But if I want to be rooted on 5.1 Do I have to root it on 5.0 and then update to 5.1 (will it keep the root ?) or root on 5.1 (if it's possible) ?

Request help in rooting ATT Note 3

Hello, I have a ATT Note 3 Android 4.4.4 , (baseband version N900AUCUDNL1), (Kernel 3.4.0-3032228). I followed the directions of each rooting method. I have ran Kingo root method and ran Odin v.309 and v.3.10 root method several times and both these rooting methods have FAILED. Can anyone please help and advise me on how to root and install a recovery on this device. I appreciate any help.
I'm not 100% sure but I believe you need to be on NC2 in order to root.

If the bootloader is locked, you cannot install cwm or twrp.

Towleroot doesn't work on 4.4.4 you need to back date to 4.4.2 kk then towleroot will work install busybox and j. Rummy root checker, safestrap 3.75 install ST mind you it will say not active until you install a custom rom in one of the slots I believe you can just activate slot one without installing a rom and it'll put safestrap in a active State. Droidveiws is a good place to get the 4.4.2 firmware get the AP BL CP files the install via doing 3.09 it's simple. Me personally I like kk better than lollipop.
