Is there a way to root without a computer?
if you've got custom recovery already installed then you can root via system-less root.

Then unfortunately you won't be able to root without a computer.
At the very least, you have to have a custom recovery installed in order to root, but that needs to be flashed with ODIN. Once you have the custom recovery, you can then flash systemless root or a root kernel.
I might be incorrect in saying this, but I think a custom recovery requires a custom kernel as well.

Hi.
I am a stock JB user with philz. I recently formated my phone and installed fresh copy via PC Odin. Clean install.
Just want to ask. If i install super SU directly Like any other app, Will it give me root.
Or is it important to install any other kernel. I am not thinking of wipeing and all sort of things.
I just want root nothing else on my stock JB (India)
Regards
Mani
Just flash the root_supersu.zip in recovery you will only got the supersu

root access will be removed after install.. since it is located at the system apps..
you can reflash root via CWM.. to avail root access again..

It would be our pleasure.
How does installing an apk file remove root access ? Type of apk is irrelevant ! Your statement is absolutely nonsensical.
If you had meant installing stock ROM via Odin, then you're correct; but that isn't what you said in your post.
@OP
No, simply installing the superSU apk will not grant root access.
Do this:
1.)Go to this thread
2.)Follow option 1B
Just flash Philz Kernel!

thanks for that clarification..
that is really what i meant installing stock firmware, not ROM via Odin..
sorry i got lazy to type it all out..

oh i forgot OP is referring to flashing stock JB (india)..
so i guess you guys already understood already even without me, stating stock firmware via Odin..
Hello everyone,
I would like to know how to convert a non-installable system apk (/system/app/*.apk) into a normally installable apk file.
If there are some needed tools please provide links as this will help me very much doing what I'm planning to do after my exams.
Thanks in advance

Why do you need a installable files when you can flash them via recovery to get them work properly? ..just asking..

No you can't.
You need root.
But you can install it on a non rooted device and root it at the same time on a 534 FTF

Convert file System Apks to installable once, I think is not that simple and I hope someone know how to do that. Otherwise is simpler install recovery and flash them. Sorry to not help much more.

That's exactly what I was thinking about.
But lets get back to the topic, How to make the system apk installable? (I know that some apks in /system/app are installable, but I'm talking about the non-installable ones)

This part is not clear to me. If I installing the Recovery on non rooted device, how the recovery will root it at the same time? I will still have recovery without root.
Option 3 > installation on unrooted ROM.

Because the installation script can gain a temporary root shell
It uses that to install the dual recovery
then its as simple as flashing SuperSU.zip or a pre rooted rom to gain "Full" root.
Is there any way to root my device? So many apps need it.....
U'll actually need a recovery and then its done. but i cant install any recovery atm, im trying another way to do it, i'll let u know if i manage to install that recovery.

Flash the system image from a factory image. If your kernel is modified, flash the boot IMG as well.
Use wugs toolkit.

So just to get this straight and I don't screw up my phone. I find the stock rom same version as my chroma which is LMY48B. I extract it and using fastboot I install system.img and boot.img? My phone is unencrypted right now... Will it get encrypted?
And when I need root again I must just install it along with Franco Kernel I'm using?
I appreciate the help...

I installed it on my laptop but even though my phone is rooted I don't see an option to unroot... Maybe because I didn't use regular rom and used chroma instead?

First, why are you trying to unroot?
You would download a factory image form the Google developer page. Extract twice, and grab the system image from there. Yes, match the version your phone is currently on.

I'm trying to unroot because my satellite provider uses an app like sky go that requires your phone to be unrooted... I need to watch a game sometimes when I'm at work.

Have you considered multi ROM? You could have your rooted normal set up and a non rooted as well.
Can't you just go into supersu settings and unroot? That way you can stay on chroma

Depends on how deeply his situation is looking for root files. The unroot feature of SuperSU doesn't remove everything.

How about the encryption? Chroma is unencrypted. If the second rom is encrypted what happens there?
I'm also trying to find a stock rom that is not pre-rooted to install from recovery. Can you show me the latest I can get?

My friend I installed multirom and used an older Chroma rom that wasn't pre-rooted. it worked like a charm.... Now I can just go to this rom and use all my apps that require the phone to be unrooted.... Again thanks for the idea....
Can I just ask what version of chroma wasn't pre rooted? I want to do the same if possible. Thanks

well, 2 months ago it was being called older.. anyways, the far majority of roms do not have root. you need to flash the supersu file shen flashing the roms, for root. but, to flash a rom, yoh need an unlocked bootloader and twrp recovery. most apps that check for root will still think that you have root though.

i must have fell asleep during this development lol
far as i have ever seen, its rare for a rom to not be rooted, however, more frequently devs have had it off by default, and its a treasure hunt to find where to turn it on.
i do always flash the su zip, to avoid this tedious hunting though.

yup I found that most are pre-rooted, though found cleancore that works great. I've just installed multirom and that booted into it then tested a couple of apps that are blocked on root (Banking app and Sky Go), and happy days they work great.
Its annoying and rather wasteful having have a second rom just to run a couple of apps but at least now I can use the apps on my device if I want to. Thanks
Typical apps block hacking (root) so the work around instead of unrooting is to go deeper with the hacks/mods

It is possible to root a device without custom recovery. But u need a PC or another android device with root and necessary cables.
Yes it can be roted without a custom recovery. However, you need a pc for flashing the patched boot.img
