[Q] Rooted but no Root access

Hi every one,
I currently am using an LG G2 from tmobile (801 model). My device says its rooted but it doesnt have root access because I forgot to flash supersu binaries before i flashed the 4.4.2 version of the software. But now my custom recovery doesnt exist anymore.
I've tried using LG flash tools to flash back to 4.2. stock settings to start over but I am unable to do so for some reason. LG Flash tools isnt able to recognize my G2 in download mode. My computer is able to recognize my G2 when it is turned on though.
So is there anyway to flash a custom recovery without root access?
Or is there anyway to flash supersu binaries without a custom recovery using ADB?
I've tried trouble shooting with multiple threads and multiple downgrade methods but none of them are giving me any luck. I really want to flash a custom rom on my LG g2 and have the benefits of root access.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All you need to do is install the towelroot.apk to give instant temporary root. Then install SuperSU from the dev thread here on xda or from the play store. After installing SuperSU go to its settings and select install as a system app and reboot when finished. It might take 2 attempts before it successful (it always takes me 2 tries). Then uninstall towelroot as it's no longer required since you've gained permanent root. Now install the autorec.apk and you'll install TWRP recovery. Now that you have root and recovery and have control of your device you can customise to taste. In my case I always install busybox and a terminal emulator so I can further fine tune my system.
I hope this helps

still got issues :/

However even when i go into supersu, it keeps saying my binaries are not up to date. So i cant install anything and I cant do anything to install a custom recovery without root access.

So you have installed Towelroot, achieved root then having issues installing the SuperSU.apk this is indeed an issue. Towelroot should allow for it to be installed. When you install Towelroot do you get the warnings from the installer and Lookout that the package contains an exploit? Do you interrupt or stop it from fully installing when you see the warnings? The only thing I can think of is you are doing something wrong when installing towelroot which is prohibiting it from doing its job in gaining root.

[Q] Rooting Nexus 5 with Lollipop without PC, Possible?

Few weeks ago, when I was over Kitkat 4.4.4, I could use Towelroot tool to root my Nexus 5, it unlocked the bootloader and rooted my phone like charm without needing to wipe data, installing a custom recovery or connect it to a PC. The idea now that after upgrading to Lollipop, Towelroot tells that Nexus 5 is not a supported device!
Any alternatives?

No, you need a custom recovery to root without a PC, but if you have upgraded already, you need root to flash a custom recovery. Vicious circle.

And can I manage this without wiping phone data?
If your bootloader is locked, no - but you can back up apps and data using Helium without rooting (it uses ADB) and then unlock/root and then restore data afterwards
Rootsu you don't have to have a custom recovery
You could use an apk such as vroot or kingroot. you can get vroot at mgyun.com/vroot and you can get kingroot at kingroot.net and if those don't work you can try downloading this Chinese appstore mobile.baidu.com/?source=mobres&from=1010680m#/item?pid=825114773 and look up root there are various kinds of apps to root almost all phones.
be wary of viruses/malware, etc. i wouldn't get anything from a chinese store.
Beekay you are right I'd would recommend a antivirus I use one all the time I'll scan unknown apps or sources other google play keep caution

How can i root my android phone without TWRF using adb tool

I've android phone with 7.0 version, the phone model name is "QMobile A1 Lite".
I want to root my device for being purpose to use the "Zanti" app for penetration testing.
I tried a lot to root my device but I'm stuck in the TWRF step because there is no TWRF file for my phone model, so is there any way to root the device without TWRF?
I hethard about Kingroot, OneClick root etc but many people says that they are not safe to use and steal your data. So I'm not looking for these type of method.
I want to root my device manually using adb tool without TWRF or if is it possible to get the TWRF file of my phone model.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you
It's TWRP. (Team Win Recovery Project) If you are able to unlock your bootloader and there is no TWRP for your device, you can build your own from source. Not easy though.
