Hi everyone!
I have a Nexus 5 and i have a question.
Currently, I am KRT16M stock rom and i want to, root my device, install TWRP and install SuperSU
I know how to do all this, my only issue is to know in what order.
1 : Flash factory image
2 : oem unlock
3 : flash CF-Auto-Root
4 : flash TWRP,
5 : oem lock
6 : install SuperSu with Google Play
What do you think? The order has there really important?
Just follow this. No need to flash the factory image. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47523936

This is really bad if I did? This is just to feel better in my mind, I said come factory image is "cleaner". and I restarts on good bases
And why ChainFire have made this CF-Auto-Root-For-Hammerhead, if the root is already available in SuperSu
It will not do anything bad if you flash the factory images first.
Chainfire released that rooting method before there were any recoveries available for the nexus 5, so at the time that was the only available method for rooting

I was able to root the OnePlus One when it was on Cyanogenmod 11. I installed TWRP and rooted the phone too. I had disabled the update Cyanogen recovery.
However after an OTA (to CM 12 and Android 5.0.2), I am not able to root the phone. I am able to install TWRP but when I reboot into recovery it's Cyanogen recovery. I have disabled the update Cyanogen recovery.
I followed this great video for rooting and unlocking the bootloader - Video on YouTube /watch?v=jwZYEyf4I40
I need to root using a Mac. Tips please.
Thanks in advance.
Just flash TWRP using adb fastboot. There are instructions on how to setup ADB on mac. The bootloader is still unlocked flashing via adb will still work.
Once TWRP is flashed, install the SuperSU zip and you will be set.

There's nothing specific to the Mac that you need to know. But this question has been asked and answered dozens of times, the search feature is a powerful tool if you use it. The answer is in my guide thead:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2839471
And it's in the FAQ thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/faq-oneplus-one-frequently-questions-t2895136
PS. There's a q&a section here for questions, I'm going to request that this thread be moved there for you. But now you know where it is for future.
I am using Stock Kernel and CM 12.1 on my Oneplus One. I just want to use the "Titanium Backup" app (that running on Root device only). What exactly I need to do with my phone: ???
Just Unlock my Bootloader and run SuperSU ?
Can I still be able to use Rom OTA with the Unlock Bootloader ?
Thanks!
Too late for Titanium backup now!
Please read this guide very carefully. It covers everything you need to know: [GUIDE] Unlock/Root/Flash for OnePlus One
To answer your question briefly, in order to use Titanium Backup, you need a rooted device.
To root your device you need:
unlocked bootloader
custom recovery (i.e. TWRP )
When you unlock your bootloader, you will lose all your data - your phone will be wiped!
Long story short, it is now too late for you to use Titanium backup to backup your apps & data.
Please note that there are methods to backup your apps which do not require root access, but you will have to use adb & the command line - not for everyone, and not what you had in mind I imagine.
You might just want to make a list of your favourite apps, backup their data & settings as much as you can, and then once you've got some sort of backup done, proceed to unlock your bootloader (and wipe your device), install TWRP, gain root, and profit.

First thanks for your answer! Do I lose the rom OTA Update after unlock my bootloader and install TWRP ? Do I must change to the TWRP recover or I can use the stock one?

You're welcome. You cannot use the stock recovery, and you will not receive OTAs once you've unlocked your bootloader, installed TWRP, and rooted.
Trust me, you are not missing out on anything - OTAs will be rare, and the quality of the OS provided by Cyanogen is low.
Once you have TWRP installed, you can choose to install other ROMs. I highly recommend XenonHD. Light, stable, AOSP-based (not a CM clone), with full layers support, and a balanced feature-set.
There are many ROMs available for the OnePlus One for you to choose from, and you could also run CM or OxygenOS - it's up to you.
Just make sure you read & follow Heisenberg's guide, and you'll be fine. :good:
Since you're coming from Cyanogen's lollipop build, you should pay special attention to the note at the end of section 2 of Heisenberg's guide ('How To Install A Custom Recovery On Your Device').

Unlocking your bootloader has no effect on the ability to take OTA updates. However, having a custom recovery and root do. If you want to take an OTA in future you just need to flash the stock recovery and the stock system.img and OTA's will work perfectly.

This isn't entirely true, the unlocked bootloader doesn't matter.

You're God damn right.
That's what I meant, but thank you for clearing up precisely what precludes one from receiving OTA updates. :good:

In order to use Titanium you need to unlock your bootloader, then flash TWRP recovery, then use TWRP recovery to flash SuperSU. You'll have root now and Titanium will work. Once you get to the point where you want to take an OTA you can extract the system.img and the recovery.img from the fastboot zip which you'll find here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2906746
Flash them and then OTA updates will work. There are detailed instructions in my guide:

I am trying to root my google pixel running 8.1. I can't seem to find a guide on how to root using magisk. I was recommended by another user to use this method instead of supersu. Can someone help me out?
When I actually type
magisk
in the search bar, magically this url pops up, it was so cool ??

It's pretty easy.
You can follow this guide, works also on regular pixel but you have to download specific files for pixel, for example twrp and factory image.
-If you don't have latest 8.1 (jan patch) and unlocked bootloader, follow the guide steps 3 and 4
-If you already have latest version + unlocked bootloader, read steps 7 and/or 8 (I prefer not install twrp, just boot it, because some users have problems of data not decrypting in twrp, so I just followed step 8, your choice)
Remember this guide is for XL, but works for pixel if you download sailfish files instead of marlin
If you have questions just ask, good luck :good:
