Hello guys. I have problem rooting my phone.
I can install TWRP but root doesn't work. I tried rooting with all methods and installing rooted ROMs. Right now I am on pixel experience ROM and it won't install rooted. BL is unlocked and I tried all methods to root. I have TWRP 3.4.0.0.
Any idea?

It is possible that it is rooted but Magisk Manager might not be showing up, I suggest downloading Magisk Manager APK and see what the manager says.

I have tried multiple times to root my htc one. With diffrent ways and toolkits, everytime i got stuck. With rootchecker i've seen that my device still is unrooted. I have installed TWRP recovery and flashed Superuser. I also succesfully installed a custom kernel. But the device still is unrooted and i cant use superuser.
I thought custom kernels were only possible on rooted devices..
Does anyone know how what the problem is and how to gain root acces?

The Toolkits are all very old and outdated
you need TWRP 2.6.3.3 or newer
you need SuperSU 2.02
flash those 2 and you'll be fine.

Hello all,
Im totally confused as to how to go about rooting my device c6902. Ive owned a couple of android devices and Ive rooted them all, however....with this device and there seem to be different ways people have rooted from reading the threads and im totally confused, So far I have unlocked the bootloader, and upgraded the device OTA to lollipop .242 (before the bootloader was unlocked), I dont intend installing any custom firmware, just want root so I can use TB and maybe delete a few bloatwares with root explorer and use xposed.
Im confused as to whether:
1. I have to downgrade firmware to kitkat, just to get root, then upgrade back to official firmware?
2. Ive been under the impression that a custom recovery and supersu, is enough to get root. It doesnt work that way on this device?
3. I saw some oneclick root programs that worked on the z1 compact would any work here
Just trying to know more about the phone and understand, so any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Using the guide on the link I just posted, you are not required to unlock the bootloader, unlocking the bootloader without backing up the TA partition can cause problems with your phone.
You need to downgrade to KitKat 4.4.4 with kernel 108, then root it with easyroot install supersu and rootchecker to make sure your phone is rooted, the use NUTs recovery to create a recovery partition, after that search XDA forums for a pre-rooted lollipop flashable zip and install that, and voila you should be on lollipop with root and recovery.
I am not sure about one-click root programs.

Thanks for your help.
I already unlocked the bootloader though. Do I need to downgrade the whole kitkat rom or flash just the kernel? thanks
Figured out. Thanks
I have the SM-N910T previously stock kernel rooted on v5.0.1.
I understand I can't root with the stock kernel so I installed v5.1.1 with stock kernel, TWRP, and "System-less" root with CF-Auto-Root.
I found some issues with Titanium so I decided to install BeastMode Kernel v1.9.2. I re-rooted and it is still "system-less" and the option to install su to System is dimmed out.
From within SuperSU, I selected the uninstall to reinstall from Google Play option. It rebooted and prompted that the binary needed to be updated but the update fails.
I'm confused...how do I install the "normal" root and not the system-less?
Thanks.
You can't do normal root on dok2 bootloader. And since you are already on the dok2 bootloader, you can no longer downgrade below that. The latest bootloader that uses normal root is cog2.

Have you tried flashing updatesupersu.zip through twrp or cwm?

Folks, need your kind guidance. I recently bought a used T-Mobile Note4(SM-N910T) which as baseband version : N910TUVU2DOK2
2 questions:
- Is it possible to root this device with the current bootloader at N910TUVU2DOK2?
- If so, what are the steps and could someone guide me since the steps outlines in the rooting page for N910T on the forums don't seem to be for N910TUVU2DOK2
Any help would be appreciated...
I have a t3 and I'd also like to to know the answer to this question if anyone can help
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.

I was wondering what sort of changes take place when you root the G5s Plus. I got several patch updates so far. Will the latest update stay once I root the device? I just want to root the device for now, not install any custom roms.
I received an OTA with an unlocked bootloader so I don't see any reason why you wouldn't with root. This only works with the stock recovery though, if you have TWRP installed I don't think it will work.

Rooting involves 3 steps. Unlock bootloader, install TWRP, and install Magisk patch. Just unlocked bootloader doesn't mean phone is rooted.

Unlikely that the OTA will install if you have TWRP and Magisk... I wonder if we can still use Flashfire to flash the OTA and keep recovery and root?
