One Click Method to Root? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ya, I know I'm lazy but I've always used one click method of one type or another to root my phones. None currently available for N5?
Unrelated question but why does N5 cost so much less at google store than at tmobile?

why do you need a 1 click root, its a nexus..
1. fastboot oem unlock
2. fastboot flash a custom recovery
3. flash the su binaries
4. reboot and profit.
unrelated answer.. its googles phone, it costs them less than it costs tmobile to buy it.

CF-Auto-Root is pretty much 1 click. You can find it somewhere on N5 board, sorry dont remember which section, but it's easy to find.

yea, they will. if you already have an account, you can get one from tmobile free if you ask the right rep.

No I don't have a tmobile account. I'm only getting one for this phone.

you can probably still talk them into giving you a free sim, tmobile is easy like that. especially for a new account. anyways, even for $10, they would gladly get you a sim. being a company that just got rid of contracts altogether, they dont care if you bring your own phone.

Just keep an eye out on slickdeals or other deal sites like that. T-Mo often provides free SIMs (I got a couple about 2 months ago)

A sim. They were free for a good while during the last couple months. I'd imagine they would do it again soon.

Nexus Root Toolkit I always use it, it's easy but like other said there's others way to root/unroot.

The last one click i used unlocked bootloader and installed custom recovery and superuser without me doing anything but downloading drivers and connecting phone to computer.
Beamed from my Galaxy Note 3

What do you need a "one-click method" for the Nexus 5? The Nexus has to be the easiest device on the planet to root. Unlock the bootloader, install TWRP/CWM, flash the SuperSU binary. The hardest part is installing the SDK and drivers on your PC, which you have to do if you want to mod your device anyway, and even so it isn't that hard. Save a kitten.

I'm pretty sure bootloader is locked up pretty tight, so rooting it will be like rooting AT&T note 4 no root as of yet.
I too will be eagerly waiting for root. I can live without changing ROMs/kernels but until I got the Edge I never really knew how much I needed root for everyday things.
Yes, Please I am also looking for a root to the AT&T Note Edge N915A.
Also I hear the new OS lollipop is coming to the Note 4 & edge around the first of 2015.
I'm looking for a root for the AT&T note edge as well.
+1 hell I'll throw down some money to the person/persons that get us root.

It may be worth pledging for root (just note that it has to work for ATT note edge in your comment) in this thread. I assume if it worked for the note 4 it will work for us
It says Verizon in the title but the thread is for both ATT and Verizon variants.
(If there is an ATT specific thread for bounty please link it)

I'm willing to put in $100 towards getting this rooted.
.I bought mine as an AT&T and not even knew it it said T Mobile in the ad it takes my tmobile Sims but its the AT&T version so its locked up I guess but hasn't it been unlocked to put T Mobile on it that's what I don't understand. anyways I still have my note 3 and its rude if I love it I use everyday I spent $800 on the edge and I want it rooted bad I'll put $100 towards getting it rooted if we can figure out a way
Does anybody know how to get a pledge going let's get up let's going for the AT&T note edge please I need root I can't grow without roots
I'm really suprised that no one has made a root for this version of the note edge.
They already have root for the note 4 and edge for AT&T and Verizon. It's supposed to be released soon. Go look in the note 4 thread

SM-N915A Android is Upgrading
Sorry to change the subject, im all for root as well. Just need some advice. At&t variant seems to be the only one without any support for the firmware, Im going through hell trying to get mine out of a boot loop! It says android is upgrading, optimizing apps, and only goes to 102 sometimes. it says 267 apps and shuts off at 30, 40 50 and 102 is the closest it got. It keeps re booting and staying in the same cycle. Ive searched high and low through every site and forum for a fix. The down side is I am not a At&t account holder so they wont help with any support. I bought it off of craigslist to use it with straight talk and it worked great for about a month and then this update for lollipop and now stuck!!! Can anyone advise?

The issue is AT&T says we will buy it if you lock it to us so we can keep our customers and make it more of a chore to leave our company. Samsung says ok because we want the sales and that's why it's done... Samsung can care less once they sell you the phone what you do with it and they already built ways to know what you did to the phone for warranty returns. (So they can deny the claims that are caused by you not listening.)
If you want to get mad at anyone get mad at AT&T just like verizon they play every trick in the book.
That's why if you buy a phone full price you always go international version

I have heard of that happening from people that buy online but I don't know much about them I believe someone in one of the threads (that was an at&t or samsung source) said they were at&t branded internationals (meaning they were to be sold through at&t for corporate or maybe coverage outside the US?, though I don't know much more because I only stay up to date on the US versions
If you just bought it you might want to check your buying source (example amazon will give you a new phone if you buy the international that's meant to be used with several carriers), if you have owned it for awhile then you're in the same boat as the rest of us.
I don't think the bootloader will ever be unlocked unless..
A law requires them too...
Someone finally finds a exploit (which because less likely as more people switch to newer phones)
They have a security leak like Sony where the key is discovered.

Or at the very least stop the store worker from updating it when you first activate it. When I bought mine she took it out of the box, turned it on and immediately accepted the update notification and installed it after it downloaded when she put the screen protector on..
@Apoplectic1
You should have made her give you different one. I do not and will not allow a store clerk to setup or mess with a phone I'm buying. :good:

I would have had I known that AT&T locked their bootloaders. This is the first phone that I have owned that had one, and until I tried to mess around with it I had no idea that one could lock a bootloader.
Sadly, I won't be able to get the Lollipop update unless I want my phone locked down forever because I am one of the few people that is still on the MDL firmware which can use the LOKI bootloader bypass to boot custom ROMs.

I think all root discussion is going on in the Note 4 Developers ONLY section...it is probably fair to assume any root method found for the Note 4 and S5 would work for the S6. But still no major progress. As in the past a root method will probably come out of nowhere from a developer that rarely posts.

Time to switch from Verizon or AT&T then if you must stay with a Samsung phone. They got a pretty good lock on their security software so far.

I know, but T-Mobile's coverage sucks compared to Verizon....ugh. I would switch to them in a second if it was better. I have Verizon for my business and switching to T-Mobile could save me about $3000 a year over Verizon.

Then perhaps trying a less secure Verizon phone if you do not have T-Mo coverage, like HTC. I think the M9 still cannot be rooted or S-OFF but the M8 can.

This is correct. Verizon s6 will be much like the Note 4, it will never see root. Sad, but true.
And still no word on a developer edition :/
We may be hoping for another futex/towelroot type of kernel level exploit that can leverage root for multiple devices. They don't come along every day but they do come along on occasion. I'd be surprised if there's a targeted root exploit for Samsung devices but I'd be thrilled to be wrong on that.
As for the bootloader...I'll be planning on never. Somebody (or a team of somebody's) might get it, but I won't blame them when they sell it for far more coin than they'll make from some partially paid bounties.
The Note 4 and S6 have different SoCs so its not the same at all. Besides these differences, alas there will be no bootloader unlock.
my 2 cents
On a general basis, i think the galaxy s devices are a little more popular than the note series, and the s6 is proving to be more popular than the s5. So hopefully with a larger following will come increased chances of root....hopefully
I will say this though, the S6 has been the first device I've owned that i didn't want to root right out of the box. Root at this point would just be nice to have for a little more control over the device.
Verizon root
I would pay 500 bucks to a dev that could root this phone, to bad I dont know any personally.:crying:

Yes, the Verizon Note 5 has band 2 enabled by default. If you would like to check which bands your phone is connecting to, I highly recommend the app "LTE Discovery" from the play store. The creators have done a great job of making it work well.

No problem! If you have any questions there are lots of people who would love to help. Unfortunately this forum has been dead-ish for the past month or so. What with one guy refusing to release the root exploit he "found" and others just trying to do a little customization that's currently beyond the control of the device, there's not much going on here. If you would like to get into rooting and romming I would suggest looking at phones that aren't locked to a carrier (like the unlocked HTC 10 although I didn't like it much or a Moto). Can't beat the Note 5 though!

That's what I had before the Note 5. It was decent to start out but was beyond painful to use in the end. The 32-bit snapdragon and 3GB ram really limit how long you can keep it on before it starts to get really sluggish. I will say though I miss the feel of my N6. It was just a nice shape and the stereo front-facing speakers were fantastic. Dangit now you've got me wanting one again as a backup phone >_<

Lol if I buy one it will make my 4th N6. I would love to have something other than a nexus 6. It limits me on what I can get because I'm on Verizon and that sucks. I could get the International s8+ and use it on AT&T I guess but I really don't wanna have to cancel my service with Verizon. If I can't root and BL unlock then I don't want it. It also makes it kinda hard for me to switch carriers because I have my wife and son on my plan. Hopfully I can figure something out within the next couple weeks..

Yeah if you're looking for something that you can unlock and root, we're talking s7 and newer. I wouldn't recommend the s7 just because the snapdragon 820/821 performance really isn't up to par with the Exynos in the Note 5. That leaves the S8/Note8. I think you'd have to look for one that came from Samsung or from a carrier that doesn't bootloader-lock their phones. I know Verizon does and I think AT&T does but I'm not sure. Exynos devices are going to be hit or miss, but imo are far superior (speed- and heat-wise).

It should be illegal for carriers to lock down a phone! I have another issue as most people. My budget is tight, about 200 bucks is my limit. Right now I'm using the Xiaomi Mi Mix 128gb and 4 gigs of ram. I had a lot of people tell me that the mix wouldn't work on Verizon in the US. I haven't had any issues using the mix. I get 4g everywhere I go. I like my mix but development isn't all that great, let's just say it could be a whole lot better. I have only had this device for about 6 months I like it but I want another phone, lol. I guess I could sale my MI mix and put that money with what I already have and buy a international note 8 or s8+ but then I'd have to switch carriers and I really don't wanna have to do that if I don't have to.

I realize this, man. I was having a dialog with someone. If you would scroll up a few pages and read you would see that I was already advised I was in the wrong thread. After being told by @blockofDynamite that this wasn't a good way to increase my word count, I agreed. We then had a few discussions and I went on my way.....

Question I may have found out how to unlock early through T-Mobile

* I just got this phone 3 days ago *
I have not spoken with any tech support at all about this matter. I simply have been looking through everyone's post and I had came across the one where you put the special code in the dialer system. However, prior to that I had popped in my old SIM card from my pixel 4 that was already unlocked and then I did the check in. Went back to developer options and OEM was grayed out and said to connect to the internet. That was last night and obviously I put my new activated SIM back in since that time .Now today all of a sudden I get the notification that my device has been unlocked. I checked my T-Mobile app and indeed it said that my device is unlocked and ready for any compatible network.
I would also like to add that I did do the temporary unlock as well before I got the message . Not sure if that part was before or after I swapped SIM and did the dialer method. And yes I know that that wouldn't have done anything either by itself but maybe that also helped possibly fool the system into thinking I was already unlocked idk but thats it honestly. Could be luck but I wish you all luck at the same time !
I have pics for proof including the 800 I still owe on it.
you lucky dog there is another guy that did that aswell. i had to go to extreme lengths. to get it sorta done

tmobile unlock app (pixel only) is the app you need to temp unlock the phone. if your goal is oem unlock, that requires permanent

that dialer code just checks that you are connected to the internet maybe googles server as well, but not sure.

Does that only work if you're eligible?

I believe it does nothing but "check in" with a server to verify your connected to the internet

Okay I see what your saying I'm actually gonna do some more reading into that but I do know forsure it does exactly that check in to verify a connection to the internet and I assume by pinging googles server. The success notification is saying it got the ping back, meaning it's on the internet. Where the confusion I think your at is coming from is that the OEM unlock switch requires the internet purely to check if your phone can be unlocked or not (grayed out oem switch or not), so if it didn't instantly become available it is not going going to. When the device is fully paid off the switch, at least for t-mobile, will become available. But I appreciate you digging that up I have seen the title to that thread I just have never looked at it, knowing I'm more than likely **** out of luck, for now. New phone coming soon. I hope this makes sense

It's okay I went out of my way to do it lol and as for the phone then idk wtf happened something happened somewhere and at some point it ended up with me having it fully unlocked with $800 still left to pay .about to get a laptop soon to finally root. But on the T-Mobile app it says fully unlocked idk I'm happy. But now the 8 is coming out soon I have Jump! Upgrade so I can do it but I'm so cheap I held out for 4 years with my 4 non pro lmao
I have made some decent money this year so I swap around from my 7 pro, s22 ultra, and OnePlus 10 pro. I think I may trade in one for the 8 I just can't decide between getting rid of the 22 or the one plus. I'm leaning towards getting rid of the Samsung.
