This is from the RAZR forum I guess.. seen it there..
And those guys couldn't reboot or boot normally after doing this.. they had to use bp tools every time or use custom init with bmm or ss3 after the rooting process.. guess that issue is only for att phones..

no failure possibility is 0 if u followed instruction correctly
and yes definitely a one click root mehtod will come up but it will require our devs to understand new architecture of the boot and security till then u can go for this :d

No buddy but u too got fooled by it
i too downloaded the zip before this but it uses other method and i tried that zip and got stuck in fastboot mode and had to boot all time from bp tools u ma tr it or just compare the zips haha juss jokin but it will not work for us

looks like you need to move meta info and kernel to outside system folder. i might be wrong never ran PA before,but this zip looks odd. I dont see how it can install setup like this. It's not correct. im also not sure about the macosx folder being in the main position. will test and report
EDIT..... Op i got zip to install. if you like ill send you the corrected zip. first I do need someone to tell me about the macosx folder, nowhere do i see a script to call for it. updater is good binary is good. but no reference to that folder. anyone who has this already,follow instuctions on above post.

I think you're getting the purpose of the sections confused.
The Original Android Development section is for ROMs that are built from source.
The Android Development section is for ROMs which are not built from source. It just happens that Sense ROMs fall into that category, but this section is not limited to Sense ROMs.

It is a fair enough assumption. This is a port so it technically isn't built from source, but in saying that we've had (and still have) ports in the Original Android Development section.

I think whats happening is the shell script is broken somewhere. ill be looking for this error today (I think) the error might be caused because am script is missing( system/bin/sh ) or the script executable. I will report later after more investigation. Ill be going to warrenty center today to replace phone,so i should be back up to test today. You might also wanna look in ram disk to see if its missing the sbin part. dont see why it would though.

[Q] Bricked, only fastboot is working

Hello.
My English is quite bad, and I'm sorry for that. Anyway, I hope that someone of you can help me with my problem, and will understand what I wanted to say.
So, at first I unlocked bootloader. After that, with InsecureBootandRoot script I wanted to root phone. When I did it, in "cmd" it stuck on "Daemon started successfully".
From then, I can't run my phone. Bootloader is working, fastboot USB aswell. I tried to install few recoverys, but none of them were working. ADB is also not working, it can't see my device(Probably because it's not working in fastboot. And if my phone is not in fastboot, computer don't recognise my device). Also, I can't "throw" any files to phone because computer see my device only in fastboot.
I tried to use HTC ONE S AIO kit . It show me my CID(HTC 0_32) and version(3.16.401.8), but that's all. Other commands are not working at all.
I also installed sdk and all drivers. That didn't help, meh.
Any ideas what should I do to have my phone working again? :c

I have checked the link. The script "only" flashes a kernel (boot.img) + Superuser app. Flashing a new kernel should work for you. What command did you use to flash the boot.img ??

fastboot flash boot boot.img and then fastboot flash boot recovery.img
I'll try uninstalling sdk and all drivers, and then install them using tutorial from this forum. Maybe it will be easier, when adb will work .-.

Did you restart the bootloader after flashing? Have you cleared caches via fastboot also??
BTE adb will not help you without at least a working recovery...

Not at all, these commands under it mean that anything in recovery won't work.
Also, from now I can't even start bootloader ._. .
Oh well, I'll just give this phone to the service. If they can't turn it on, and also turn on bootloader, can they say to me something like "Hey, you tried to change system of this phone so we won't give you another one"?. :c

Philz has a option to boot into bootloader. Have you tried it? If you give it to service they'll recognize that you have modified thze phone. As you were able to flash philz, you should also be able to flash boot+recovery image. Then you'll have to perform "factory reset + clear storage" to fix the sd card issue. I'm sure its possible! Once done you can install a rom manually or change the CID to run a stock RUU EU unbranded.
As your warranty is void I'd suggest to fix it o ya own

I know many here at XDA frown on using toolkit's, but if you having problems try
Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit. Its free and works fantastic.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
It will install custom recovery. Just install the toolkit, select your phone model and let it download the needed dependency's then click the advanced button,
then look under Fastboot Flash for the recovery button and follow the prompts to install TWRP.
Best of Luck

One other thought.
Because It looks like you are doing things correctly.
Sometimes changing your USB cable to Hi quality one will help
as cables can sometimes work fine for charging but not work well for flashing.

then look under Fastboot Flash for the recovery button and follow the prompts to install TWRP.
Best of Luck

One other thought.
Because It looks like you are doing things correctly.
Sometimes changing your USB cable to Hi quality one will help
as cables can sometimes work fine for charging but not work well for flashing.

You Sir, are correct.

Rooting MM 6.0.1 m4b30z with faulty power button

Can someone please help me in rooting my Nexus 5 on 6.0.1 m4b30z; the issue is that power button is not working so rooting from recovery is not possible. Looking for 1 click root option, i have tried kingroot apk but didnt worked
Reason for root is to add power options in the phone using several app so phone can be restarted when needed
PS: I believe the Bootloader is unlocked because i have seen unlock image in boot animation

I had issues with my power button too. But one can install any custom ROM, where it's possible to use the phone without touching the power button.
I've been using s-aosp n version, for almost over 3 months or so. My phone works just perfect.
I suggest you to find rom's of your interest. Good luck:good:

You can do it without power button, you know, "adb reboot recovery".

use this thread for reboot into recovery via adb, it's safest and don't try non-trusted root methods like you mentioned.
PS: don't forget to turn on adb debugging in developer menu ! (don't know how ? search )
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1853159
also for future reference, on android every command is possible via adb you just need to search for them..Google and XDA are your friend
So get familiar with basic adb there are some good guides here in Nexus 5 sticky therad as well as on general xda just search for ADB

which menu ?
just reboot into boot loader and flash TWRP & root using SuperSU then go to play store and find some app for advance reboot.

Okay here's ultimate solution for you and future similar cases...
extracted attached zip in PC.
Reboot into fast boot via adb and
double click root-windows.bat
and you are root !
now do whatever you want.
Main thread for this :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/nexus-5-cf-auto-root-t2507211
since chinfire changed his site just today, downloads are little bit slow or down, so i took liberty to download it for you and attaching same fine in attachment so that you don't mess up while doing all this 1st time.
Cheers !

Oh...i just went ahead and did little more you.
anyway no problem...it'll help someone else in future.
btw if you can, change you root to SuperSU or other providers from xda as king-root , 1click and other Chinese companies are nasty with privacy
