Running 4.2.2 rooted thanks to goolge nexus toolkit!!

For those who want a stock rooted nexus 7 you can find the full 4.2.2 image here,
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
You can find the nakasi image 4.2.2 and download the tar image.
Then I would download and install the google nexus 7 toolkit here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1809195
Then install the sdk manager and update.
http://developer.android.com/tools/h...k-manager.html
Once all is installed then in the toolkit make sure you install the android usb drivers. I would then reboot your pc.
Then take the factory tar image and move it into a folder called "put factory image here" in the nexus 7 toolkit program files.
Then follow directions to flash it. You can then after it is flashed follow directions to root it.
Now you have a stock rooted version of 4.2.2. That is what I did and it worked for me. I am no expert by any means. I hope this helps.
I used the Google nexus toolkit from skipsoft and I am very grateful to the developer for this software. It made my efforts easy to get a stock rooted updated rom. I hope anyone else who is not a technical expert like me can use the instructions provided and find them useful.

Did you have to unlock it again or not? Did you lose any of your data?

Thanks , but toolkit and sdk manager links are dead

Try those.

So I downloaded the image, moved the tar to "put_google_factory_image_here" in the toolkit folder. Now what, do I still choose 4.2.1 for my device even though Im currenty 4.2.2? My wife accepted the update yesterday while I was at work . Ive used this toolkit before, but thats when all the version numbers lined up and without having to download anything.

Yes just use it as you normally would even with the wrong version for the device. It still works and will install fine. At least it did for me.
Good luck.

LOL this is too long. Just flash SuperSU zip on unrooted stock.

I have my N7 (GSM version) unlocked, rooted and with clockworkmod recovery.
I donwloaded and installed the OTA (beforehand I had supersu and clockworkmode in "Survival" mode ... When I told the OTA to install, my device rebooted and clockwork recovery took the update zip... after some questions "do you want to keep your bootloader", "do you want to keep recovery", "do you want to keep root" (I only kept recovery and root) everything worked fine.
Now I'm on 4.2.2 with unlocked bootloader, clockworkmod recovery and root whitout any problem or anything deleted.
Cheers!

You will need an unlocked bootloader. You kept it unlocked right?
No need to use this toolkit at all really, I did it all manually yesterday. I just flashed the new image and then flashed supersu

That is the problem, I installed CWM Recovery and TWRP, both of them gave me errors, I downloaded the 47-48MB file that Android Police made available.
I used install from zip, and it gives me errors. Help me out please.

is ROOT(ing) possible without re-install the whole phone?

Hi,
Is ROOT(ing) possible without re-install the whole phone?
Information and links are welcome

Use kingroot, its on xda.
Then use super sume to remove the Chinese elements and replace with SuperSU.

Thanks for you suggestion!
Unfortunately it does not work on my (SM-G800F) Phone even it is listed as a supported device.

Also no luck with the KingRoot v3.0 Desktop version.
Anyone have the knowledge for rooting this phone whithout re-install everithing on it?

Sorry I too have an 800F and its worked a great for me.
I used version 4.5 of kingroot

Just reboot into odin, and flash this auto tool

Thanks for the link.
The file you mention is normaly for the smg900h (S5) but I have the smg800f (S5 mini).
I think it's not possible to use 'H' on a 'F' version!?

If we use @Chainfire methode to root our device, do we need to re-install all our apps as it would on a new clean install or wil all our apps still be there after a re-boot ?

No you will NOT loose any data.

So sorry for the late reply. No the chainfire method does not wipe any data or applications. Just flash the file and it will root and do everything itself. Hench the name "autoroot."

Thanks for making this clear!
Okay, so we need to use ODIN v3.xx and put the phone in download mode by pressing Vol-Down + Home + Power button till it comes into recovery mode, having ODIN already running with administrator rights and than plug-in the micro-usb cable.
I guess we need to use PDA button to load the file, do we have to tick other options as well ?
Thanks for the help !!!!

Hi, I'm a little bit confused here. Are we talking about the same context, i.e., an SM-G800[x] running Android 5.1.1? The landing page of the official repository states explicitly that "CF-AUTO-ROOT IS CURRENTLY NOT OPERATIONAL FOR ANDROID 6.0+, OR SAMSUNG ON ANDROID 5.1+".
Besides that, the download page doesn't list Lollipop versions, only 4.4.x.
Cheers

@RGold55
Yes there is only 4.4.2 supported
Read the obove text line: CF-Auto-Root Repository

So you did ok by rooting your G800 KK Android, as I did to mine last year, with that very same flashable. But, alas, CF-Autoroot for Lollipop is still in the dream stage.

How to Root Samsung Tab A 8" (SM-T350) Android Marshmallow (6.0)

Hi , i downloaded the latest firmware of this model , and installed it using Odin.
Anyone knows how to root this device with Android Marshmallow?
I already tried to installed the latest beta version of SuperSU installed it using TWRP but its not working
please anyone help me how to root this
Thanks,
Nico

Nico,
I came across your thread multiple times in search for how to root mine. I ended with going to the autroot chainfire site and following the instructions there. The package was listed for the SM-t350 on 5.0.2 but I can confirm it worked on 6.0.1 stock .
Cheers

You have to be extremely careful because there is a Lollipop and Marshmallow version of this device. I cannot give a link to the correct thread, but there is a thread on XDA that has a Marshmallow guide.
Basically you just flash with Odin, I used TWRP version twrp_3.0.2-1_sm-t350_mm_9816
Before you flash make sure you are in dev mode so Knox does not screw with you. have your SuperSU flash Zip on your SD card, I used UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323
Boot into recovery, select install and chose the file I said above. It will flash and Root your device as a system root.

Nexus 6 Nougat Root with SuperSU

I can't seem to find the answer to this.
I've just flashed the Nougat Factory image for Nexus 6 and want root. Can anyone confirm is the latest SuperSU is compatible? I've flashed TWRP and downloaded the latest SuperSU but just a little hesitant to flash it in case of issues.
Thanks a lot.

Yep I rooted just fine. works ok.

I had no problems with the latest version, which I installed last night (downloaded factory image, extracted to PC and fastboot flashed through bootloader, rebooted to recovery and flashed SuperSU 2.78-SR1).

Perfect. Flashed and working great. Thank you! :good:

If you enjoy having an unknown organization having absolute godlike control over your phone, then sure, use stupidsu.
But if you like to have auditable and sane control over your own device, I would very VERY much suggest that you instead use https://github.com/seSuperuser/AOSP-SU-PATCH

I flashed factory image today and went to Nexus Root Toolkit to root and flash recovery. It went well.

new to Nexus 6, just got Nougat OTA, whats the best way to root and have double tap to wake (will it drain battery big time?) and notification led? pls help, tia
btw I use Mac

Isn't the nexus 6 supposed to be 100% stock Android and with that being able to be rooted by any root method? I know I've read many times that if you want to get into root and hacking to pick up a nexus device as they were easily recoverable and weren't root blocked by any means

Not sure what exactly you're asking but the Nexus 6 is easily rooted when using the proper methods. Unlock the bootloader, fastboot flash TWRP recovery and then flash SuperSU or Magisk in TWRP.

root sm-t810 on Nougat?

hello,
recently purchased an s2 tab sm-t810 running 7.0 out of the box and want to root it in order to have Xposed. I looked at the root guides you guys have here and wasnt sure if they would work for 7.0. Can someone please direct me to the right place?
I appreciate it ahead of time!
If reliable root methods exist without use of a PC for 7.0 that would be even be AWESOME-RR

I am not sure. I have a T810 on the way. Can you install TWRP via ODIN, and then install root from TWRP?

Thanks to Google's new Safety Net API, magisk is the best option at rooting devices 6.0 and above.

Yes, that's what I am running. I had a bad time getting TWRP installed. I kept getting a weird screen instead of TWRP and I used ODIN 3.12.3 and TWRP 3.1.0-1 and then tried 3.1.1.1 that failed too. I finally ended up using ODIN 3.12.5 and TWRP 3.1.0-1 I also had flash the tablet back to 6.01, and then back to 7.0 as when I tried to use ODIN to reflash directly to 7.0 again but it basically didn't do anything so I had to flash backward 1st. I think the partitions for my stock ROM were somehow messed up, and flashing back to 6.01 and then back up to 7.0 fixed it. Even with that, I had to use the older TWRP 3.1.0-1 I think that was the worst time I ever had getting a device rooted. I set up the stock ROM, and then backed it up using Titanium backup, and also nandroid backup. After that, I blew out the stock rom, and installed AEX and Substratum. I love AEX. Stable, and very fast and I can still play Netflix even with Netflix not supposing to work with rooted devices. Yay Magisk!
