While we wait for a working recovery, is it possible to install SuperSU (not to xbin as Weaksauce did)?

This really should be in the Q/A forum but I believe you would need to push an insecure kernel before SuperSU will work without WeakSauce.

you need to first flash an insecure kernel which will grant /system write access. you can do this in fastboot... fastboot flash boot boot.img

Not as of 7:40. The TWRP posted does not boot. DO NOT FLASH the Sprint version alluded to there. That would be VERY bad
OOPS. Sorry see CWM is there now.
EDIT: that is not working yet either. I'd hold tight for a couple days and let the devs get these sorted out.
SuperSU installed with working recovery now in dev section.
Just curious, how can we flash .zips (including SuperSU) if we still have a secure boot.img?

Just about to finish with the 2.20 exploit when I ran into a hiccup and now my bootloader screen shows TAMPERED with UNCLOCKED right below it. I just backed up my current system, am I to reboot or can I stay in TWRP and flash the perm root without having to reboot?

What are you trying to do? Flash the SU.zip onto your stock ROM? if so, just flash it in TWRP and reboot.

Yes. Is the tampered message anything to worry about? I pushed the SU .zip and rebooted and phone seems to work fine, though it seems like I don't have LTE all of a sudden.

No, tampered just means /system partition was modified, most likely due to su being present in /system/xbin
Now that su is there, do you have a superuser app, such as SuperSU? If not, download it from the market and run the program to update your su binary and get configured. As for the LTE, I don't know

Thanks! Yes I do, I installed root checker just to double check and I indeed have root access. Now onto flashing a custom ROM. If someone can just give me a nod and let me know I'm heading in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.
I'm going to use AOKP JellyBean. I download it, extract the boot.img to my fastboot folder, open up a cmd and "fastboot flash boot boot.img" Can I delete the boot.img from the ROM zip file after I flashed it throught fastboot? This is where Im getting a little confused.

Yes, but you don't have to. It should work as long as you already flashed boot.img from fastboot

Now that s-off has been released, here's a working ClockworkMod for the Verizon M8.
Pre-Requisites:
- s-off (I'm sure you can use the search button and figure out how to do this)
- fastboot and adb binaries (I'm sure you can use the search button and figure out how to do this)
- download this: http://d-h.st/aXs (md5sum: 725cafdc16a6a50e760d3161c70c5fa2 )
Boot into fastboot mode:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Install the img downloaded from above:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery cwm_v6.0.4.8_m8vzw-3.img
You may then either boot back into your rom using: fastboot reboot
or
Use the menu in the bootloader to reboot or (via the HBOOT menu) reboot into recovery
Thanks, invisiblek! it's alive works!

U WOT M8?
Just updated my Nexus 5 using the OTA thread that went through fine,
I then proceeded to update SuperSU using the following link: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu which was the update v1.99r3.
Using TWRP I flashed this and root is working for most apps i have tested: titanium, adblock, root explorer. So root is back.
However whenever I load up SuperSU I keep getting the following message: "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?"
So of course I have done this and let it use TWRP to flash. Let the phone boot up and upgrade the app as it needed. However on next load up of the app it asks to do the same yet again.
I feel as though I'm forgetting something as it's been a while since I've done this. ( use to live on flashing when i had my SII)
My Nexus is Stock ROM. CF-Auto Rooted. TWRP Recovery. Nothing else is modified.
Help would be appreciated, even though I don't go into supersu all that often anyways.
Cheers all.
What if you upgrade it using the "normal" method?
If I do a normal install i get the following:
Installation failed!
Please reboot and try again.

That message is usually indicative of not having root in the first place. What if you flash it via TWRP then do it normally? Could TWRP be removing it with its "Fix root" option?
What about other recoveries? Do they allow root to stay?

How odd like I said my apps are all receiving their root permissions...
What file would we be talking about flashing? The Temp one SuperSU makes to flash when you click install via TWPR?
I don't have any other recoveries on my phone, so I wouldn't know about that last option.

Are they though? SuperSU grants permissions but if the binary is not present, its irrelevant. Can you actually do root things with the root apps that have the permissions?
Have you tried other binary download?

In SuperSU, do the TWRP flash install of the binary and reboot, then try the "normal" install immediately after

Theres a link in my signature to Philz recovery. In the settings is a root option, so the recovery itself can root without flashing any zips. Maybe try that if downloading an older flashable zip or the above hasnt worked.

Good news. The latest version of Philz, s it is CWM based - uses the latest Cyanogen sources to build. I update the CM sources everytime I build Philz so hopefully there should be fewer issues when new stuff comes out.
Ok, so I'm just looking for final confirmation before I install my TWRP2710-RAZR-HD_M-KITKAT image...going to just fastboot flash it on there using the files in my Motopocalypse folder, but do I need to rename some file in the system folder or something before I do this? Seems like I had to do that in the JB era and I can't find much for the KK version. Noob question I know. Do I just put my phone in fastboot mode and flash away or is there a step prior to that? Thanks in advance.

Not sure why you think you have to rename something to flash a new recovery. Yeah, maybe the instructions had you rename the recovery image file or something, but no. Just flash it per the instructions the previous poster linked to. It's really that simple.
Good luck!

The only thing about Flashify that I don't like is you need to be already rooted.
Otherwise, if you're not rooted, then you can't root until you put on a custom recovery, which means you need to use fastboot to flash CWM or TWRP and then sideload root. Then you'd be able to flash TWRP or CWM. Kind of the chicken and the egg conundrum.
Everyone should know how to do it via fastboot because you may not have root to install TWRP or any other custom recovery. It's always good to know how to do things from the command line because there may come a time when you have no other option.
running official kk on xt926 here.
can i install official cm11 nightlys after flash 2.7 twrp ?
I believe they can only be installed when they update them with the new kitkat bootloader. There are some builds by dhacker29 that I have tried that worked but are in progress. You would need to reflash back to JB bootloader to use the official CM11 nightlies.

i think it is because back in the day, correct me if im wrong, you had to rename the old recovery file so it wouldnt re-install.
but now that development has progressed, that is no longer necessary.
thats why all the, do i need to rename questions are arising.

yep, that's what I was inquiring about.. all sorted now and rocking the device as it's supposed to be used. thanks.
Oneplus updated the OnePlus 6's Bootloader and you may ask yourself 'Can i still root?'
The answer is yes. It is easy.
1. At first, your bootloader has to be unlocked
2. Just download the Twrp.img and the Twrp installer from twrp.me, then the latest magisk installer
3. Put the magisk.zip and twrp installer zip into the root of your device and boot into bootloader
4. Now you have to open a new shell or cmd window in your adb folder, then type "Fastboot devices" there
5. If your phone is recognized, then do this command: " fastboot boot .\twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img"
6. The op6 should boot into the TWRP, there type in your pincode, pattern, or what so ever you have. If you get a message because of system modification, click 'Keep read only'
7. Go to 'Install', then flash the TWRP installer zip, then magisk right after it
8. Just reboot and enjoy
The procedure is the same as always. I can confirm it's working because i rooted a few minutes ago
Just keep in mind the kernels and custom roms haven't been updated to 5.1.7 base yet and may not work until they are.

i understand butttttttttttttttttttttt this forum is flooded with how to flash twrp, how to root with 5.1.6, how to install 5.1.5 with twrp ect ect ect lol just trying to reduce clutter and make things a tad bit simpler. No offense guys lol
So if I already have twrp and Magisk installed is the method still the same?
Will this update lock the bootloader back?
Pretty sure I swiped to allow system modifications on my first twrp installation so will that matter?
