However, the quesstion is, can i flash CWM without root by use toolkit? therefore i may make my Nandroid backup before root. Would be any error?

1) DO NOT USE TOOLKITS. We Think it is better to learn the steps yourself by following teh "how to unlock bootloader" tutorial stuck at top of general forum.
2) If you read the guide in General (see answer 1), you cannot root until you have CWM recovery. So yes, you cna take a backup before root. However, you cannot have CWM until you unlock bootloader, and unlock bootloader wipes device.

2. Wouldn't fastboot boot recovery.img not allow you to make a nandroid backup, or does the nandroid need root access?

No you don't need root to take a nandroid of android. Root only affects android when its running,.giving the user access to the root of the device, but recovery already has that access so no binary required in android.
Can you fastboot boot without unlock? If so then it must be possible

Has anyone tried the adb backup on the Nexus 5? I imagine that'd work as a backup solution before unlocking. That or Helium

Ditch the toolkit (save a puppy). Learn about fastboot and adb. Learn about custom recoveries, rooting, and all it entails. Learn how to troubleshoot should you run into any issues. Do your homework first to save yourself the trouble of having to start another "Help I bricked my phone" thread.

Finally, i tried. I have unlocked the bootloader, however, i try to flash the custom recovery CWM, it just start for once, and prompt me to root the device ( i reject). In my case, i trust i may not flash CWM without root.
But i got one more question, when i flash the CWM and it start for once, just like temp boot in CWM, may i try to make Nandroid backup on that boot?
Thanks

As previously stated, recovery does not need root. In fact you need CWM recovery (or TWRP or Philz) to flash root anyway. CWM DOES have a built in root checker however, which is probably the message you're seeing. You do not need to root Android before you take a Nandroid via recovery.

Sorry for my long questions...
I unlocked bootloader and try to flash CWM without root, and make a Nandroid backup already, but when i reboot and get in recovery, still getting in Stock recovery. So do you think the backup can be used, while i root my N5 and flash permanent CWM on my N5?

Bootloader unlocked
Boot in bootloader
Cd path
Bootloader flash recovery recovery.img
Press reload bootloader
Press recovery mode
Cwm comes up first time, so can do whatever funtions they had
Once reboot from CWM, it states fix root yes or no, and ask me fix
I press no
That reboot back to the rom automatically
Once i try to reboot to recovery mode again, CWM gone, but still can load in stock recovery
That is my all procedure to flash CWM
Thanks

Afterward, i am trying to root and flash custom kernal (Elementalx).
If i wanna get back to stock kernal from elementalx (in case, OTA update), do i only need to flash stock kernal?
Because i am interesting with the sweep2wake option in Elementalx.
Thanks.
Some kernels flash scripts so its best to restore a nandroid probably.

So for some reason my N5 just randomly lost root access. Cannot run TB or any other apps with root permissions. I went through the process of unlocking boot and gaining root and it had been working for a couple of days and then just stopped. I know that I can go back to stock and go back through the unlocking process, but was just wondering if there is a way to just get root without having to set everything back up again, but if I have too I do have a nandroid in CWM. Also don't know for sure but I did see that Google's factory image for the N5 is build KRT16M where my phone states I have KRT16O. Not sure if there may have been an OTA that I didn't see, but I'm pretty confident there wasn't of course if so that would explain the issue. Any help greatly appreciated. Also my phone is still working fine just no root access thanks.

I believe you can just boot into Recovery and re-flash SuperSU to gain back root privileges. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Another thing to look out for is some of the su flashable zips create /system/etc/install-recovery.sh which has a line in it to call the su binary at boot.
However since install-recover.sh is used to install recovery, cwm detects this and states "this rom could reflash recovery. Fix?" And if you select yes to fix, it removes install-recovery.sh which stops root permissions being applied at boot

Okay I thought this was the issue because I remember I was in CWM and it did ask me that and I selected Fix. So is there anyway I can fix this without having to wipe my N5 and start over?

Hi, i have the same problem. when i click on SuperSU it says that there is no binary installed. I've put the phone into recovery and flashed the SU apk, but it still says the phone isnt rooted. Any ideas?
Hello guys how are you? i found this thread here which explains how can i root my phone without unlocking bootloader. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41714109). I just wanted to ask one thing that how can i install a software so that i can backup official rom incase anything goes wrong and i have to re-flash that rom and if anyone can tell me the procedure to do it. And if you guys could, can anyone one of you tell me how can i unroot it if i need to sent it for warranty. Thanks that is all i wanted to ask
Hi!
You can ask questions in the thread you linked. For any help, that's where to ask.
I'll tell you though, after looking at that, you can't install a custom recovery.... So backing up your whole system won't be possible. Not without a custom recovery to do it.
If you're very concerned.... Don't do it.
Good luck!

So i did root this phone although not by the one mentioned in the thread (i installed the drivers but the unlock root couldn't detect my device). I followed another method in which i have to unlock bootloader and in that i could only reach to the point of unlocking boot loader and flashing twrp recovery but twrp recovery screen wasn't working so i was stuck with unlocked bootloader and browsed the net for several hours until i found the
ProHunter method of Modaco forum in which he provided a complete software to unlock, install recovery, and then install SuperSU. But now i am concerned about one thing. Can anybody of guys tell me how can i completely backup my system so that i can restore it if something bad happens? And can any of you guys be kind enough and tell me how can i backup my stock rom i would be in forever debt of you. Thanks for the reply.

You need a custom recovery installed, like twrp or cwm, then you do a nandroid backup in the recovery.

Hi,
Thanks for the instructions. I followed the unlocked bootloader one, but now I cant boot. I flashed the modified LTE boot img and now everytime I boot it keeps going into fastboot mode.
Unlocked bootloader
flashed CWM
Booted into CWM and flashed SuperSU Beta
Selected Yes to fix Root
Reboot system
Boot back into fastboot and flash the modified boot.img
Reboot system...............now keeps booting into fastboot.
Please help.
EDIT: I'm an idiot. Unzip the boot.img before you flash it. Problem solved.

Possibly dumb question, but is the stock recovery on 4.4.2 KK the same as stock recovery on L? If I backup the stock recovery on KK with flashify, can I then restore once I am rooted and on L?

In reading through the other thread, I can't seem to definitively find what I'm looking for.
My Shield has a locked bootloader, but I've installed the OTA. Is my only option to unlock the bootloader and then follow the unlocked bootloader root method? Or is there a way to root only (I'd like to keep stock recovery) with the OTA already installed?

Does towelroot still work for the LTE devices when moving to lolli?
OK, so I had to unlock my bootloader since I'd already taken the OTA.
Now I'm at this point. I can't seem to get recovery to stick. I've flashed it multiple times in fastboot and it just won't stick. Now, over in the other thread, someone has asked if I've done the "fastboot flash boot boot-root.img" step yet. This confuses me, as that step comes AFTER you flash recovery, then flash SuperSU with CWM. But seeing as how I can't get recovery to stick, I can't flash SuperSU, and that means I can't move on to that step.
So I guess what I'm asking is, can I run "fastboot flash boot boot-root.img" before "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"? Will that make a difference? Will it brick my tablet?
I'm all out of ideas here.

First you have to enable developer options and click enable OEM Unlocking and usb debugging to on. After that visit htcdev.com and follow the steps to unlock the bootloader. After you have an unlocked bootloader, visit the twrp thread for the HTC One A9, it gives you the download link for the One A9. After doing this, download SuperSU. Zip from online and flash it through twrp.

Ty, Sry I should've mentioned I already unlocked through htcdev, downloaded TWRP and supersu, installed adb & fastboot/drivers on my CPU, etc.
I'm moreso confused with all this wiping / formatting data to disable encryption, + with the system image backup, do I do that before or after I format data, plus I've seen many say to flash super-su by adb side loading it... can't flash it directly from external SD card?
Pretty much that stuff and the correct order to do that stuff is what has me all flabbergasted right now... lol, any advice would be MUCH appreciated

Lol, forced encryption is no fun, I've never had a problem with it on the stock HTC Sense ROM, only when I've gone to cyanogenmod have I had a problem with it, and when you face that problem you would have to format data (factory reset) to access the internal storage through TWRP. However, in the TWRP thread you can find a file call A9 boot image patcher (or something like that, lol) that you flash after flashing cyanogenmod (or any ROM with forced encryption) but BEFORE you boot the ROM, this will install a custom kernel that disables forced encryption. So basically right after flashing any ROM flash the boot image patcher to never have a problem with forced encryption. You shouldn't have to flash a system image backup, I've never had to do that before when formatting data.
And to answer your second question, I have always flashed SuperSU from external SD card, never have done anything else, so basically it is fine to do so.
Hope you find the answers to all your questions, and good luck :good:
Thanks man, I just want the system image backup just in case, like whenever OTA time rolls around. Not planning on flashing cm or anything, just rooting the stock Rom

According to their website flashing stock recovery with AIO isn't possible for OP6.
Whatever the reason may be.
Moreover I miss general instructions how to use AIO.

'fastboot boot twrp.img'
You'll be booted to TWRP
Flash twrp.zip to install twrp from booted twrp
Read Rooting n TWRP threads for more details.
Edit: My bad. I missed that you need stock recovery. TWRP may be better option though. IIRC, you can get stock recovery by flashing unmodified boot.img of whatever oos version you are on, but try at your own risk. Also if nothing works, you should backup your data and use msm download tool to restore your phone to factory state.
Thanks.
I want to have back the ability to go into recovery (stock or custom doesn't matter).
Are you sure you're suggestion is the solution?
Could it be an encryption problem which blocks whatever recovery?

As you mentioned in the first post that you are already decrypted, then it shouldn't be a problem.
Anyways you can use mauronofrio TWRP for decryption support (it will ask you for pattern or pass).
As my solution is only valid if you can access your sdcard from twrp, you can try it risk free.
The command "fastboot boot twrp.img" only boots the recovery, doesn't flash it. So it's pretty safe to try.
And to save all the hassle, just backup all data and restore your phone to factory settings using MsmDownload Tool.
Thank you very much.
In first posting I made a stupid mistake. My OP6 seems to be encrypted as it asks for pass when I try to boot in recovery.
As I understand your last post AIO will ask for pass when I boot twrp, correct?
Then I'm booted in twrp and have to flash twrp.zip but is that possible with an encrypted device?
Basic question.
I did not permit for encryption. How is it possible that the device still is?
Deleted because twice.

Every Device is encrypted by default. It usually is your lockscreen password. Just enter the same password in twrp and you'll be able to access the files.
Aslo it's not AIO that asks password. It is twrp which will ask you password if you have one set i.e. your lockscreen password/pattern.
