Hi there.If you have root access and unlocked bootloader,you can install TWRP even without pc connection.
first you should download a terminal emulator app from google play.
then you should download the latest version of TWRP image file from here https://dl.twrp.me/yuga/.
Place it in the root of your /sdcard folder and rename it to twrp.img
Run the following commands in terminal app
Code:
su
and then we write recovery image file to FOTA with dd command.
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
and it's done.
press thanks if it was helpful.
i installed hk lollipop zip from my custom twrp recovery. and when rom istall has finished ; recovery gone.

Below are 2 solutions to get a properly working recovery
Preperation:
1. Download Dual recovery installer: XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.23-RELEASE.combined.zip
2. Install NDRUtils
Next up we will test if the TWRP you installed works or not
-open NDRUtils and choose to boot into TWRP recovery.
Now unhide the result that you got to continue with the installation:
OK: I am now in TWRP
flash XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.23-RELEASE.combined.zip and reboot.
Everything will work normally now.
Not OK: I am not in TWRP
Reboot the phone if you have to (hold power until you feel 3 vibrations and then turn the phone back on)
You need to download this: http://nut.xperia-files.com/path/XZDualRecovery/Kernel_Builder
To get the right file make sure to selec the xperia z c6603 and select the rom version you are using, you can view what you have in settings, about phone, build number.
it will be much easier for you if you install this: X-plore File Manager The reason i recommend this application is that it automatically makes sure the file rights are correct.
Go into the settings and enable superuser +mount root mode
Now you can browse to the folder where you downloaded the zip in the left pane.
go into the zip and and then into tmp
Select the boot.img
now move to the right pane and browse to the root of your SD card like the comment above
go back to the left pane and with boot.img still checked click copy.
Now follow the original instructions mrp1375 gave you, but notice the different filename
Open terminal
Type : su
Type: dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
Now you can reboot and if it worked the phone will vibrate twice and show a green led meaning you can press the down button to enter TWRP recovery.
Go into the recovery and now flash XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.23-RELEASE.combined.zip so you get a proper installation
Now remember this very important fact:
Whenever you flash or wipe anything you MUST reinstall recovery and root again.
This is a failsafe strategy you can NEVER ignore becaus of your usb issues.
Keep SuperSu installer and XZ-lockeddualrecovery installer on your device at all times!
thank you

Hey! I have the same problem as the OP here. I followed the instructions like 5 times and still couldnt get it to work. The terminal is saying that "No space left on device" when i type "dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel"
any way to fix this? Thanks!

That doesnt look quite right it should look like this:

Then you type "su" (without the quotes) and press enter
The display then changes to:

Now you type "dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel" (without the quotes) and press enter

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
As always, mucking with your device at this level is risky. If you follow this process, you do so entirely at your own risk. I accept no responsibility for any detrimental effects resulting from following this process, or for any problems associated with the updated files. Only if you accept these risks should you use these instructions.
PREREQUISITES
Unlocked bootloader (see my guide to do this)
Working fastboot (also see my guide )
Patience
NOTES
I developed and followed this process on Ubuntu Natty, 64bit. I see no reason why it should not work on any other platform, since the only tool used is fastboot and the syntax for fastboot is the same on any platform. if you need to know how to get fastboot working, there are already many guides for that (see my how to unlock your bootloader thread, for example)
BUTTON CONFUSION
When in landscape mode, with the camera at the top, the power button is on the left 'vertical' side of the tab. On the top is the volume rocker. In this orientation:
- The LEFT side of the volume rocker is VOLUME DOWN
- The RIGHT side of the volume rocker is VOLUME UP
This might seem obvious, but to anyone who is used to phones, this is the opposite, since they were designed to be used in Portrait mode.
PREPARE
1) With your Tab in fastboot mode (step 1 of "GETTING ROOT" below), make sure you have a working fastboot implementation:
Code:
fastboot devices
If all is well, you should see your device serial number. If there is a problem, you won't get any response.
2) Downlad View attachment skitzandroid-10-1v-root_0.2.zip and View attachment skitzandroid-stock-recovery.zip
3) Create a folder on your desktop called "root"
Code:
mkdir ~/Desktop/root
for Ubuntu or
Code:
md %userprofile%\desktop\root
for Windows
This will be referred to as the working directory throughout the rest of this guide
4) Copy skitzandroid-10-1v-root.zip to your working directory (DO NOT UNZIP!)
5) Extract the skitzandroid-recovery.img file from skitzandroid-stock-recovery.zip to your working folder. Your working folder should now have 1 IMG file and one ZIP file.
6) This was an afterthought - Make sure fastboot is somewhere in your path (ie can be executed from anywhere). To test, 'cd' to any random folder and type 'fastboot' and make sure it runs.
7) Copy the skitzandroid-10-1v-root.zip file to the root of your sdcard. You can eithe drag/drop, or run:
Code:
adb push skitzandroid-10-1v-root.zip /sdcard/
from your working directory
...now the easy part
GETTING ROOT
1) Power off your Tab and power it back on, while holding the VOLUME DOWN button.
2) When the DOWNLOAD / FASTBOOT icons appear, press VOLUME DOWN again to select FASTBOOT icon (the one with the USB logo) and press VOLUME UP to confirm selection.
3) Confirm you are now in fastboot mode and do a:
Code:
fastboot devices
If all is well, you should see your device serial number.
4) Open a terminal / CMD prompt and CD to your working folder
Code:
cd ~/Desktop/root
for Ubuntu or
Code:
cd %userprofile%\desktop\root
for Windows
5) Run the following command:
Temp Root:
Code:
fastboot boot skitzandroid-recovery.img
..and wait. It might not look like anything is happening but it is.
Permanent Root:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery skitzandroid-recovery.img
6) You should now have a recovery menu. Use the volume rocker (up/down navigates menu options) to select "Install zip from SDCARD" (or something like that - if someone can post the exact menu item wording, I will update the guide). Press (tap!) the POWER button to confirm the menu selection
7) Navigate to the root of your internal storage (/sdcard), select the skitzandroid-10-1v-root.zip file and press (tap!) the POWER button to confirm selection.
8) Once complete, use the Volume rocker to select "REBOOT" from the menu and press (tap!!!) the POWER button to confirm selection.
9) You're done! Press the thanks button on this thread to continue
TESTING
1) Once your Tab boots up, check your apps menu to confirm the existence of SuperUser app.
2) With the Tab attached to your PC via USB cable, do the following:
Code:
adb shell
su
..and watch the screen on your Tab for a SuperUser prompt. If you see this, congratulations!
If you have never rooted a phone/tablet before, go get Titanium Backup Pro and ROM Manager from the market. As soon as the custom ROMs start flowing in, you'll be all set to go.
Edit: How about thanking smaskell who was very patient and persistent in dumping the image from his Google IO 10.1 - for the good of his fellow XDA members. Without his help, this would not be possible.
Note that the above process doesn't flash the recovery, just loads it.
If you want to flash the recovery permanently, all you need to do is follow the guide above and then, in step 5, use this command instead:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery skitzandroid-recovery.img
You will then have a permanent recovery which you can get to by doing:
Code:
adb shell
su
reboot recovery
at any time.
Note that doing just
adb reboot recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
...for some bizarre reason does not boot to recovery. Open up a shell first, as shown above.
I will also give you credit in the guide for having "Balls of Steel" to steal a phrase from PaulObrien
EDIT:
...and the Balls of Steel award goes to *drumroll*
Egan
...for having the balls to flash the recovery. Thanks egan. If I was in a battle, I'd definitely want you in our squad
FAQ
Does it need unlocked bootloader? Yes, see my other guide for this.
Do I need to wipe, or will it wipe my device? No and No.
Can I return my device to factory default config? Yes. This process does not flash the partition unless you follow the process in post 2 which is optional.
Changelog
0.2 - Added busybox (can be flashed over the top of 0.1 without wipe)
0.1 - Initial Relase

Awesome news! Thanks to everyone who worked on this - I can't wait!
Great, great job you guys! This thing needs root so it can grow
Thanks a lot bcmobile and smaskell! Ill give it a go around launch.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA Premium App
Thank you guys, it's working great on my 10.1v
I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this already - but is there anyway of getting temp root on these devices so I can backup all my apps and data (properly) before unlocking / flashing recovery / rooting??
This wont make any changes to the partitions. You could undo the whole process by just deleting a few files.
The process in my second post would actually flash the image, and would be permanent if you had no 'factory' recovery image to flash back.
The 'standard' process in post 1 is normally used for testing and doesn't overwrite the recovery partition
Thanks a lot. Works like a charm
Now to make a full "original" fastboot flashable restore fileset:
Boot: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/boot.img
System: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/sdcard/system.img
Would this be enough to have a proper "original" image? (With the small addition of root offcourse)
(Did a dd of dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/efs.img too, just to have a backup
Will see if I can make a full nandroid back-up now
Before flashing any recovery images etc..

Sorry, I realise that applying the root won't wipe anything, but unlocking the bootloader comes with a nice factory reset if I'm not mistaken..

Sorry for the ignorance, but are these fastboot or a adb commands?
Good work!
You should mention that you can't unlock and flash the Root-Update in one step.
The recovery complains then that /data/media is missing

That is part of the recovery image, not the unlocked bootloader.
You can always put back a stock image using fastboot which is one of the really nice things about fastboot unlocking vs bootloader exploits. "fastboot oem unlock" can then be undone by "fastboot oem lock" and nobody would know the diff.

Also remember to enable USB debugging after you have done the unlocked bootloader, took me 5 min to to realize why adb did not want to work, 5 scary min after the reboot.
I've tried to make a proper nandroid backup but haven't been able too.
Tried with romdump 0.72 but that crashes :-(
Most tutorials use Rom Manager, but that needs some work from @koush before we can use it.

if your bootloader is locked then yes you will loose everything on USB storage,if the bootloader is already unlocked you will not loose any data,you don't need to flash a rom after rooting the device as it will not wipe the system.

The phone should booted normally when running the sticky.bat (On the home screen),there is nothing to worry about just Complete the instructions normally one of the two scripts will fail since the name of the file differ in gingerbread and ics,try this rm /etc/install-recovery.sh and continue the instruction it should work and clockworkmod recovery would stick.
Thanks for your reply. I used a FixRecovery.zip file from another thread and flashed it after executing run.bat again. Now I am able to boot into ClockWorkMod.

thanks ! added the link to the OP in case anyone had problems like this.
Argh, I seem to have successfully unrooted my Nexus S 9020t and had it rebooted back in, but while it was booting up again I accidentally pressed a button and it told me "error: device not found" twice followed by "<waiting for device>".
Unfortunately my phone has already been rebooted, but it still seems to be waiting for my device. I'm not sure if I can disconnect this device from USB while this is going on, so uh, what do I do?
Edit: Disconnected and reconnected the USB cable on the phone to see what would happen, and it seems to be ok. I'm still stuck on "waiting for device" though. Should I consider restarting the process again?
Edit Edit: Decided to just try to redo the process all over again...seems to have worked!
Updated tool to version 2.0 ! check the changelog in OP, it should solve all sticky recovery related problems,as i removed sticky.bat and now the recovery will stick automatically without the need of running any commands or flashing any fixes.
thanks for reporting problems and feedbacks
thank you for this

Ok first have you unlocked your bootloader when the tool asked you to use volume buttons to chose yes and unlock ? (If you did this you should see an unlocked lock under google logo when booting the phone) if you didn't just run the script again and unlock the bootloader.
Are the drivers installed properly ? When you connect the phone to the pc check device manager to see if the PC recognizes the phone (the drivers are included in the tool in case you need them .
And last check the root tool folder on your pc it should have a file called cwm.img if it doesn't then download the tool again.
SuperUser is not visible after the process
I am on stock ICS, I had previously unlocked the bootloader, then I did the whole process mentioned in this thread. It showed me the CWM menu but when I did the reboot, I couldn't find the superuser app. Then to test whether it is rooted or not, I installed titanium backup but it says the device isnt rooted. What to do now? I tried SuperOneClick but it doesn't seem to work.
Edit: Thanks guys, sorry. It was my mistake, I didnt do the whole process in a right way. It is working as expected.
The Ultimate guide on how to do everything for noobs
Anyone taking these steps please be aware, you do this as your own choice/Risk....If you have anything important on your phone, back it up right now before you proceed....as everything will be wiped by the bootloader unlock!

I require knowing which RUU you have installed, this u will find out by using HTC Dev.
Using HBOOT 1.0.7 and updating should be easy and fast.
Installing CWM 5 (Recovery Menu)
Please also read my orther thread on recoverys...it hold same details with extras >http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791707
This is a program installed into the phone itself.
This allows you to do pretty much anything you want.
Main things are Backup and restore of your device.
Flashing of custom Roms
Here is the recovery file >http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=852074&d=1326296914
Save the recovery.img and flash_image in the root of your adb folder.(this means C:/Android)
Now using DOS CMD window
goto C:/Android
*hint, copy the txt in these windows into your DOS window and press enter....it saves time and spelling errors*
DOS txt
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
it should now reboot and show Fastboot USB mode
DOS txt
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
from the hboot menu, go to recovery.
now if above doesn't work and you cannot get into bootloader to flash the cwm. follow this
pull out battery
insert battery
hold volume down key and press power at same time
Hboot will appear
scroll down and select bootloader option, press power.
and your ready now in fastboot usb mode
Rooting

All roms come Pre Rooted with all apps required to run with root (Superuser)
For details in these check out the Android Development forum in our salsa section.
or go here>http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1043
Download this file >http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?pypn6v69o0vnvl9

SuperUser?
Hi BBE,
Followed your tutorial and was successful at every step. But one thing that is bothering me (or maybe I messed up at some step) is that I still do not have the Superuser (Su) rights. I used "Root Check Basic" and it says I have Root access. But when I try to run "Link2sd" or "Titanium Backup" it says I do not have Superuser rights. Is this method supposed to give us Superuser rights? If yes then what should I do now? If no then how can I get Superuser rights for my HTC Salsa?
Thanks.
Zaeem
Look in the apps list and you should see a pirate like app icon. If you do open app up and update it. This should rectify the su problem. If not.gimme a shout

Yea I did update it myself and now I have Su on my Salsa . However the binary is out dated and when I try to update it, it gives me 'failure' status. Downloaded the SuperUser binary installer fix from Market but still getting the error. Any help with that? (I think I am good even with the out dated binary though)

ok goto market, download, SuperSU looks like a large blue hashtag lol.
install that, update it etc, see if that runs, if you get successful updated binary, reboot the phone. u can run with both SU apps, but you would be better removing the old Su in favour of the new one...im gonna look around for a root.zip with new Super Su in there
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!

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).

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.

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?

Erm, "Chinese dev" doesn't mean anything really. Don't you have a thread link, a github link, or anything in particular? It's almost like saying "Here an app", without really saying where it comes from. Kinda risky... Especially if it isn't the "Chinese dev" that shares it.
EDIT/// NVM, just was the source link... Sorry for that, was refreshing the wrong one...

I'm in the same boat, I like that it's done but the fact it isn't open-sourced and is provided by a sketchy Chinese version of a fake Oneplus site (take a look at the lack of SSL for example), I think I may hold off..

If I had OnePlus 5 I would have resolved the problem inside the twrp, but no device is impossible for me. A complete recovery will soon be released.
The recovery-from-boot.p is the file that restore stock recovery when you reboot your phone (It is in all android firmware)

did you restore your backup, after reboot . If yes, just uncheck boot when you restore and you dont need to format anything when flash recovery or kernel because these thing boot before system . For me twrp work good for me, the only thing is that i have flash supersu and when i want to switch to magisk, i delete all root on supersu app, and then impossible to boot on twrp, even after flash it with bootloader . The trick is to flash stock recovery from folder and then flash twrp .
Thanks
