[ROOT - FIX] Android 5.0

If you're experiencing that root doesn't work on some apps well this thing is for you. Chainfire may have been fixed all that issues.
To install flash this zip in your recovery (twrp or cwm):
http://download.chainfire.eu/624/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.23.zip
Note that this SuperSU is beta!

So basically what you saying is that with this version of SuperSU its possible to use flashify /flash twrp or cwm, and then flash superSu 2.23 and we are rooted on 5.0??
Or its not that simple, i wont have pc for few days thats why I'm asking

I'm not sure if root issue has got to do anything with nexus devices because we have ADB/Fastboot.
Root is working fine since the release of lollipop, basically all i did was flash the Permissive kernel + cf root from chainfire via fastboot (this is for people that do not have access to TWRP recovery in the first place on lollipop).
Link for kernel : http://download.chainfire.eu/580/SuperSU/nexus5-hammerhead-lpx13d-kernel.zip
Link for cf root : http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
After you flash two of those via fastboot, you can just download latest twrp img file and rename it as "reocvery" then flash it via "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" if you want twrp...

Well... That's an old kernel, although I don't know if anything has changed since then.
CF Auto Root also removes Maps and YouTube from the System/app Partition for some weird reason.
I always used Wugfresh's NRT. It did everything while I just sat and watched, lol.

I didn't have that problem though, it works fine on my lollipop flawlessly.
Oh thats good for you but if i were you, I'd stay away from toolkit and do it manually.

Are there problems associated with it?
I've made sure I had ADB, Fastboot, etc setup before I used it. Nothing can really go wrong since it's a Nexus, lol.

[Q] Updete Nexus 6 to newer build

I have Verizon Nexus 6 which came with LMY47E system but as it is well known LMY47I is now officially available. but with older radio. I'm already unlocked and rooted and have latest version of TWRP recovery installed instead of stock recovery. So my question is can I extract system.img and flash using TWRP install option and get newer system but keeping original radio and user data without data wipe? Should I wipe any cashe before flashing to avoid possible problems?
Anything else I should flash to make sure I will be able to use phone without problems while keeping root and unlocked bootloader or i will have to do unlocking and rooting again? Any help is appreciated

Fastboot flash system and boot and you'll be good.

Thanks for quick reply. So I can't use TWRP recovery? Flashing boot will not wipe root and bootloader?

It's a lot easier to just flash system and boot in fastboot. Flashing system will erase root but after you flash system and boot go directly into recovery and flash Su.

That's exactly how I understand and that's why I"m asking if it's possible to do the upgrade using TWRP recovery by flashing just one IMG file at a time in specific sequence and than restarting the phone while still keeping current radio and data plus SuperSU at the end

You can't flash the IMG files in twrp. You'll need to use fastboot. Just flashed whichever files you need. I usually flash everything but recovery and then just reroot. Takes about 10 minutes.

Install latest OTA?

I have a VZW XT1096 that is rooted, unlocked and has TWRP. The update downloaded to my phone but the last time I tried to install an update it put my phone into a boot loop. Do I need to flash the stock recovery or is there more to it? Thanks!

There is more to it. You have to be 100% unmodified to take an OTA. So no root, xposed, busybox, modifications... your best bet if you modified a lot would be to flash your stock system and recovery images then take the OTA.

Any idea where to find the stock .51 images? If it just like nexus where you fastboot flash each partition in bootloader mode?

[LG-F600S] TWRP porting from Stock Recovery.img

Try to port a TWRP recovery, but failed. I just used the "boot-repacker-4.0.1" to unpack and try to merge it to the twrp-2.8.7.0H901.img. My device was rooted and flash using flashify download from google play.

I think the vendor did it by edited their .tot file with corresponding .dll before flashing it with LG flash tools. http://www.lgbbs.com/thread-7260-1-1.html

Well not sure if it has a unlocked no but you absolutely need a unlocked boot loader to even touch the stock recovery

Under developer's option, there is a check box to enable oem unlock bootloader, so I don't think it was the cause. I can use adb to boot into fastboot mode. And with Flashfire.apk developed by the well known developer "Chainfire", I can even backup the whole phone and flash .zip file without custom recovery. However, If the system crash and cannot boot, you cannot get into the app to restore it. So, porting the custom recovery is crucial.

Use fastboot to flash the recovery image then?

Pretty sure the check box for enable oem unlock bootloader is on every v10 version. It's just that the only one that it actually *works* on and actually unlocks the bootloader is the USA t-mobile version.

You can't replace the recovery while the bootloader is locked. The only partition than can be touched n modified is system.

Why TWRP deleted after booting?

I flashed latest TWRP with fastboot command on CMD.
TWRP works but after I reset the TWRP was deleted and I can get STOCK recovery.
I can boot up TWRP only if I connect my device to computer and use command FASTBOOT BOOT RECOVERY.IMG
Why?

If u flashed a rom,.then before booting you must flash the root file or a custom kernel in order to keep the TWRP.

I do not flashing another rom, only new open beta versions and flash files.

You have to flash at least Magisk/SuperSU or custom kernel in order to keep TWRP intact after each reboot. Not sure about modified stock kernels with dm-verity and forceencrypt disabled, they may work too.
This is the nature of stock ROM.

OOS enforces encryption and restores the stock recovery when you reboot your phone.
Custom ROMs, custom kernels, and Magisk all prevent that from happening.
If you want plain OOS (stable or Open Beta) and keep TWRP, then use Xennet's patched boot image. See https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...y-force-encryption-op3t-t3688748/post74155053

I flashed magisk on TWRP and TWRP deleted again after restart.
What can I do?

Reflash your current ROM via TWRP and flash Magisk right after ROM without restarting

Today I flashed open beta 24 and after that Magisk and wipe dalvik and restart recovery and I got stock recovery and dont TWRP.

What to do about this file? flash it and install TWRP again? or only flash it and restart to recovery?
Why I need to change my boot file? If my device dont booting up after the flash?

Because stock will always revert to stock recovery.
If the device doesn't boot, then you're using an incompatible boot image
(it seems that Magisk/SuperSU isn't enough)

I flashed this boot patched image and choose restart to recovery and stock recovery again...

I have the same problem - twrp gets erased after booting in OS Since beta 24

I don't know guys what's wrong with your devices, I'm using Open Beta 24 with custom kernel and TWRP boots everytime.

I use stock kernel, maybe that is the clue.

Then maybe you should flash the modified kernel that is especially modified to not restore the stock recovery.....
