Just install the latest TWRP via ODIN and then flash the latest SuperSU via TWRP.

Is it a system or systemless root?

By default, it would be systemless, but if you need System mode, you would need to use another zip found under SuperSU subforum.

No problem here, using EPJ2 (stock, debloated, root, xposed) everything working fine.
Which version of TWRP you are trying, and what is the ODIN version?

Forgot to update my post but I fixed it by allowing OEM unlock in the developer option.
For some reason I don't have the OEM check box in my developer options. I haven't been able to root my phone in months.

No it wont let me do any of this. These are the files I have. I tried to flash the TWRP and it hangs. Does I thought I had to use CF ROot to root the phone first? Have I forgotten how to root? http://imgur.com/a/FMfeC

I believe this option is only for T3 model not the regular T model.

Again if you regular T model, use the files related to your model.

I just a replacement model to be able to unlock my bootloader, root, etc. I am currently on 4.4.2 and was wondering if there is a method to root 5.0.2? If so, what are the steps?

The same steps are required to root the phone on 5.0.2 as on any other version: Flash twrp recovery, flash the latest SU.

I flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip in TWRP recovery and when I go to verify root it says I am not rooted. Am I doing something wrong?

1.94 is pretty old is does not support lollipop.

Hi guys !
I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my device, and i don't know if i can upgrade my Nexus 6 by ota (received this morning on the phone) without brick it.
Is it dangerous?
Thank you
EDIT : I'm on stock Lollipop 5.0.1
Unlocked is fine. If you have root or any other system mods, you'll need to remove them.
Oh thanks for the quick answer
So if I unroot it with Nexus Root Toolkit it will be ok?

Nexus toolkit doesn't unroot. It reflashes the entire phone which also means root disappears. If you're going to do that, no point taking the ota. Just flash full update.
You can indoor via the SuperSU app.
Oh ok I just saw that.
So if I unroot via SuperSU it's ok i can install?

As long as you do the full unroot and made no other modifications. Oh and everything must be 100% stock, including recovery
I've installed TWRP...
So, what is the best way for me to install 5.1 without losing my data?

download the factory image that you want to update to.
extract the system.img, boot.img and radio.img
Fastboot flash them.
You could also flash the bootloader if you want though I dont see any point.
Ok, thank you for your quick answers

my phone was rooted and had cwm recovery. The OTA failed twice . Then I unrooted the phone and did a wipe. After that, I was able to install lollipop

OTA will always fail when you're rooted, as signature checks will fail. You need to flash a pre-rooted 157 after wiping system and caches (not data).

Install a non-rooted, fresh copy of 157. Close Sony Updater tool(s).
Flash the 108 kernel using Flashtool. Close Flashtool.
Root using XperiaRoot. Close XperiaRoot.
Flash the 157 kernel using Flashtool. Close Flashtool.
Install XZDR Dual Recovery, and use TWRP from now on. CWM is old and should be killed with fire.
Send me $50 and a large pepperoni pizza.
Files are available here.

are you already in the Lollipop? or rather, have you installed lollipop and you want to root it?

re done root now phone is ok back to 14.4.A.0.157 with unlocked bootloader.
Hopefully that will stop over the air update.
Now looking for rooted lollipop that I can flash
So, I unlocked the bootloader, I flashed a custom recovery and then I installed Superuser, but after sometime I deleted everything and I installed a new ROM, but I lost my root, though I still have the bootloader unlocked and a custom recovery, I don't have superuser anymore, and root checker says I'm not rooted. My question would be, what does this mean? Is my phone rooted or not, and how does this state affect my phone, will apps be able to access root files or not? and so.
Thank you in advance.

Unlocked bootloader doesn't root your phone, SuperUser does that. So, if you don't have SuperUser binary installed, your phone is NOT rooted, and apps which require root access will NOT work. If you're running a Lollipop ROM, you need SU 2.46 because older SU will cause bootloop. So, download SU 2.46.zip, and just flash it via recovery. That will root your phone

I'm running KitKat, I was originally running Lollipop, I don't want to go back to root (I've tried though but it isn't working I don't know wh), I was just wondering if this can affect my phone "negatively".

Well, if you don't want root, apps that require root will not work. Nothing else can go wrong

And since we are talking about tools update, there is now TWRP 3.0.0.0 for the M7 on mdmower's website. Iv flashed it this morning and its working fine.

Hello, I have a ATT Note 3 Android 4.4.4 , (baseband version N900AUCUDNL1), (Kernel 3.4.0-3032228). I followed the directions of each rooting method. I have ran Kingo root method and ran Odin v.309 and v.3.10 root method several times and both these rooting methods have FAILED. Can anyone please help and advise me on how to root and install a recovery on this device. I appreciate any help.
I'm not 100% sure but I believe you need to be on NC2 in order to root.

If the bootloader is locked, you cannot install cwm or twrp.

Towleroot doesn't work on 4.4.4 you need to back date to 4.4.2 kk then towleroot will work install busybox and j. Rummy root checker, safestrap 3.75 install ST mind you it will say not active until you install a custom rom in one of the slots I believe you can just activate slot one without installing a rom and it'll put safestrap in a active State. Droidveiws is a good place to get the 4.4.2 firmware get the AP BL CP files the install via doing 3.09 it's simple. Me personally I like kk better than lollipop.
