WugFresh Root Method Question - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If I use WugFresh Root Method to root and flash a custom recovery called Team Win Recovery. Will I still be able to take OTA updates? Also, since WugFresh installs the free version of BusyBox, is it still possible to upgrade to BusyBox Pro?
Thanks

Do yourself a favour and don`t use toolkits: learn to use adb/fastboot, rooting/flashing, recovery`s (sideload, push files) etc etc. Read the 4 top threads in the General section. Sooner or later you`re gona get into trouble with a toolkit and you will not be able to solve it bro :crying:

Yes you can always go back.
If anyone is going to install this ROM, please let know if standard Odin flashing options are enough for safe install.

People..relax xD it's just the same as all the GB firmwares around, the only change is the android version. So the short answer is "you flash with odin just like you would do with some gb firmware"
How is download going guys?

well think about it this way, let's say you flash thought odin, and u don't like it..flash TWRP, format system and flash GB with odin, I can't see why it wouldn't work.

Did that happen since out of box?
I'm not sure if there are any other ways but if that was happening to me I would http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507905 and then find it.

That's bad luck
Well if you were to root it make sure you follow that thread. Stay away from toolkits. You'll learn more and run into less problems. :good:
And as for the rogue app, if it's not solved then maybe the only way is to root it and freeze or delete it. I'm pretty certain you would be able to find it once you root but hope there are others who know much more than me come and help

How to root ONLY?

I'm so sorry. I know there's a sticky on Rooting, but I'm still confused.
I don't want to flash a new rom. All I want to do is root my 10.1 while keeping it safe and stick with the Samsung os.
I downloaded ExynosAbuse apk and ran it on my tablet, and tapped Root, but it said it failed. No reason given.
Are there other steps I'm supposed to take?
Thanks.

True. I like the Android Phone. I think if we knew what was going on behind closed doors at Google......
I have no trust in them. NSA Spying and so on.

That's true, its been pretty hazy lately
for root vs840v9 you must enable debugging, connect to usb? choose Internet connections ower ethernet and start the script from New Z2 Root method by CubeandCube (thanks man!) See original: https://twitter.com/cubeundcube/status/490153209164349441

I want to know how to root it.

Hi, I just wanted to ask for help, I want to root my new nexus 5, I'm scared because it's new and I don't want to brick it :S, Is there any reliable way to root it ??? Also, is there a way to put Kitkat's soft keys without leaving lolipop ?? Thanks !
Check out the guide and watch some videos. Whilst relatively safe, there is a small risk, especially if you don't follow steps correctly. There is a Windows tool kit available which helps you do it automatically.
Although I think its good to do it on your own as you lean more about the process etc

And this is how you wind up not knowing basic things like what a custom recovery is. Start at the beginning.
