did u root ur device after unlocking it?
if not! start with this
if yes! then go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341127 download the recovery image from the website, put it in the tools folder u have used while unlocking, reboot ur phone in fastboot (remove battery > volume down+power), open a cmd on ur PC, go to the tools folder
type in:
fastboot flash recovery r1-recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7-modaco-runnymede.img
(tip is to type r1 then hit tab to complete full line without typing it all)
that's it for flashing the recovery image!
then go to the development section to choose a ROM to flash it on ur device.

[Q] Sorry, but i need help!! :(

Ok, i was looking for flashing a kernel on an Lg Optimus black (i do not own the device), but i really can't fins anything... Can someone be gentle with me and explain how to plug the device in fastboot mode and flash the kernel.... I work with the Xperia devices and there the life is easier xD. So the questions are:
1)Where can i find the drivers USB?
2)How to plug the device in fastboot mode??
3)How to unlock bootloader
and i think that when i achived those passages i know how to go on... maybe like this:
1- Enter in the folder with fastboot's files inside
2- press shift + right-click and then select open command prompt here
3- Type: fastboot flash boot boot.img
am i wrong?? Please tell all the things that can be helpfull, but only for me, maybe for others noobs like me that dosen't know anything about this device this post i think the can be very helpfull for lots of people. :laugh:

The Optimus Black doesn't use fastboot. Everything is done through recovery.
Download Clockwork Mod from the Play store, use that app to flash a custom recovery.
Enter recovery by repeatedly pressing volume down at power up or use a reboot to recovery app.
To flash roms/kernels, copy to your sd card, boot into recovery, select install zip.
The bootloader is not locked, unless you have flashed the offical LG ICS rom with the smartflash tool. If you have and want to unlock it, just flash any froyo/gingerbread offical LG rom with smartflash, that will unlock.

1. Make sure you are rooted, if not, read Nooby's how-to on how to do it. It's a sticky in LGP970 section on xda.
2. Once rooted, you can install ROM Manager and flash cwm/twrp recovery from there. Give it root permissions when asked for.
3. Boot into recovery using ROM Manager or any other third-party app. Flash the .zip for the kernel you want. Make sure it is compatible with the ROM you are using.
4. Once kernel flashed, boot into the system.
Bootloader is generally unlocked unless you are running official ICS on your OB. If that is the case, don't do any of the above mentioned steps as you will end in a boot loop.
If on official ICS, use Smart Flash Tool to flash unlocked bootloader. You can follow instructions here on jockjoint's thread
Once bootloader is unlocked and you have flashed su.zip as per instructions in the previouslsy mentioned thread, boot into recovery (it's already there in the unlocked bootloader flash).
Once in there, flash a compatible kernel and ROM as per your needs/liking.

[TUT] How to root your Android One devices (sprout) with Locked Bootloader

Hi guys, today I am going to share this simple tutorial on how to root without unlocking bootloader of sprout.. Many people asked me how to do so I am here to create a simple tut for everyone..
Requirements
1. Any custom recovery for sprout (I prefer philz http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...e-general/sprout-philz-touch-v6-57-9-t2887574 )
2. Fastboot files (google for minimal fastboot) and fastboot drivers
3. Supersu update zip (http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu)
Proceedure
1. Install fastboot drivers and fastboot files..
2. Rename the custom recovery as "recovery.img"
3. Place the recovery.img within fastboot directory (where the fastboot.exe located)
4. Put supersu.zip in root of your phone's sd card
5. Connect your android one device to pc using usb cable in fastboot mode (switch off phn and press power+vol up and then select fastboot)
6. Use the following fastboot command
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
This command will not flash the recovery, it will just let your phone boot into recovery and it will work on locked bootloader
7. You will get the recovery menu then. Install the previously downloader supersu.zip from external sd card using the recovery menu.
8. Congratulation, You have successfully rooted your android one device without unlocking bootloader...:good:
Here is a video guide created by @thesaurabh7777, u can check it..

thanks
Thank you. Just what i wanted.

Anyone tried? And how to unroot if needed ?
UPDATE : I tried. It works and works like charm. I have created CWM backup of my stock ROM, rooted device and installed xposed also.
You can always unroot from settings in SuperSu - Which essentially removes itself and su binaries.

Hi, if I root my device this way, just to backup some apps via TB, and not modify the system any other way, are you sure just unrooting will be enough to safely apply the Kitkat to Lollipop OTA?
I've read about this new "verified boot" thing in Lollipop, which essentially means if you modify system partition in any way, even if just to add the SU app/binaries, the OTA will fail (where it obviously didn't use to, before lollipop). I'm not sure if this verified boot thing will apply to the OTA for Kitkat to Lollipop too, or just updates From Lollipop to future versions.
(AP did an article just a couple of weeks back, check it out here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...e-means-update-will-fail-system-modified-way/ )

I have made a backup of Stock ROM before rooting it,so when LOLLIPOP arrives and in case i have changes some system files, i can simply restore the stoock ROM to recieve the updates right???

Easiest way to root Sony E1 (Dual) (D2105)

Hello, guys! I've discovered a very easy way to root sony e1 with the final build version : 20.1.B.2.29
1. u need to install Philz Touch recovery over a clean Stock ROM.
2. after installing recovery, put superSU & Busybox zip files in the root of ur SD card.
3. go to recovery & select the 2 zip files & flash them 1 by 1. preferably flash superSU 1st.
4. boot normally, & update superSU binary, when it asks - select TWRP/CWM.
5. if u don't like the stock calling apk, then I'm here including Falcon ROM's 'InCallUI.apk'.
6. go to root explorer, system/priv-app & replace the stock one with this one. apply correct permissions RW-R-R (0644).
7. again go to recovery & wipe cache & Dalvik cache.
8. 1st time will take a little more than usual with the standard "Android is upgrading" & then u r good to go! hope, I helped. Enjoy, friends!
9. Note : no files r my creation. all the credits go to XDA developers, I'm just reuploading them for ur easy access. I'm going to attach 2 superSU zip files, if 1 fails, the other 1 will make it, I'm sure. only superSU v.1.94, I got from google drive, except that all the files r XDA's property. Thanx to all.

How to install recovery over stock android?
Sent from my Moto G using Tapatalk

u need to know, if ur particular phone model does have a custom recovery? that's 1st step. if u can find a custom recovery, then there'll be some kind of flashing software depending on ur brand of phone. i think, Flashify could be used for flashing zip files & .img files...etc. let me know, what recovery r u searching for? and, if u r talking about stock recovery, then probably u need to flash ur stock rom.

Okay i am talking about flashing philz over sony stock rom..flashify work??
And is it necessary to unlock ? bootloader??

I think it's necessary to unlock bootloader 1stly & then Flashify should be able to flash the boot.img.

But flashify works with root access..

that's why, u need to flash recovery 1st. SPTool should be able to do that. Even if ur bootloader is locked, try with sptool & see the result.

Can be unlock boot loader through flashtool?
Sent from my Moto G using Tapatalk

yes. I think there's a way to unlock it through flashtool. But, I did it after searching Google, & u need to send ur device ID or something to Sony website help section. Provide ur mail ID there. They'll give u a link that contains the code for ur specific devices's unlocking, & that link'll be available for 24 hours only. So, as soon as u get the link from them, go to the provided link & unlock ur bootloader. in the link page they'll also provide the guide about how to unlock it. Good Luck!

It is supposed to work. Never mind. Did you try other supersu.zip files? Coz sometimes these packages may also be corrupt.
In case if you are not successful try this tool called lenovo k3 note manager..

DONE ROOTED S433 (solved dead A7000-a)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k3-note/general/complete-tutorial-how-to-flash-k50-t5-t3360181.
i follow this step by step procedure, now im on k50a40 s433 ROOTED and i can put back my NVRAM. Just want to share whoever got problem flashing s433 on A7000-a, make sure download correct file on the thread and carefully read the instruction. If your platform are marshmallow, do flash boot image via twrp (flash image, not flash zip). My step from dead A7000-a to K50a40 :-
1. Use SP Flash (v5.1540.00.000) to flash K50a40_S422_160315_ROW( https://cloud.mail.ru/public/C9th/nvAqozUua )
2. Follow this step ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66229157&postcount=4187 )
When the procedure done/finish( OK GREEN TICK ). Turn on ypur device normally, put this file on SD Card ( https://cloud.mail.ru/public/CNTk/6..._ROW_TO_K50a40_S424_160328_ROW_WC655382B6.zip ) to update s422 to s424 or do it OTA.
Now you should get K50a440 s424 on your device.
Done all this step...... will have notification to update s424 to s427... then s427 to s433, all this i done through OTA( or you can search for update.zip and put in SD )
TO ROOTED s433
1. Follow this step ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/k3-...3-note-k50-t3158522/post66156802#post66156802 ), make sure all necessary file are downloaded and place on SD Card( read carefully the step )
After you done all the procedure, check rooted using root checker apk ( google play free )
