Hi every one,
I currently am using an LG G2 from tmobile (801 model). My device says its rooted but it doesnt have root access because I forgot to flash supersu binaries before i flashed the 4.4.2 version of the software. But now my custom recovery doesnt exist anymore.
I've tried using LG flash tools to flash back to 4.2. stock settings to start over but I am unable to do so for some reason. LG Flash tools isnt able to recognize my G2 in download mode. My computer is able to recognize my G2 when it is turned on though.
So is there anyway to flash a custom recovery without root access?
Or is there anyway to flash supersu binaries without a custom recovery using ADB?
I've tried trouble shooting with multiple threads and multiple downgrade methods but none of them are giving me any luck. I really want to flash a custom rom on my LG g2 and have the benefits of root access.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All you need to do is install the towelroot.apk to give instant temporary root. Then install SuperSU from the dev thread here on xda or from the play store. After installing SuperSU go to its settings and select install as a system app and reboot when finished. It might take 2 attempts before it successful (it always takes me 2 tries). Then uninstall towelroot as it's no longer required since you've gained permanent root. Now install the autorec.apk and you'll install TWRP recovery. Now that you have root and recovery and have control of your device you can customise to taste. In my case I always install busybox and a terminal emulator so I can further fine tune my system.
I hope this helps

still got issues :/

However even when i go into supersu, it keeps saying my binaries are not up to date. So i cant install anything and I cant do anything to install a custom recovery without root access.

So you have installed Towelroot, achieved root then having issues installing the SuperSU.apk this is indeed an issue. Towelroot should allow for it to be installed. When you install Towelroot do you get the warnings from the installer and Lookout that the package contains an exploit? Do you interrupt or stop it from fully installing when you see the warnings? The only thing I can think of is you are doing something wrong when installing towelroot which is prohibiting it from doing its job in gaining root.

I rooted my phone, then installed CM12 Lollipop ROM. Now my phone is no longer rooted. I thought that after installing a ROM the phone remained rooted. Now I can't root my phone, the adb command doen't work to root it again, also tried the TowelRoot method, but it doesn't work. Any suggestions? I want to root it so I can reboot into recovery and install other ROMS or backup my current ROM (using TWR manager or Clockwork MOD ROM manager) and run other tools.
If you installed CM12, then you have root and recovery. I'm not sure what you did wrong or what you've missed, but it's all there. Did you go in Developer Settings and make sure that root access is enabled. Also, you need to have SuperSU installed as well. Good luck.

Adb reboot recovery doesn't require root. So that's an option. Also cm supports advanced reboot into recovery when you enable it in developer options.
Off topic. How well does cm12 run on this device? Thinking about putting it on my d850.
Never mind. Don't worry about my question. I'll look through the thread and see what I can find about what's broken.
So I have the wife's new d850, which we will be suing over straight talk.
- not able to get the OTA updates
- at KK and she wants to be on LP
So far, I've done:
- rooted with towelroot
- loaded TWRP from the playstore
- loaded Superuser from the playstore
- loaded Busybox from the playstore
- loaded Flashify from the playstore
I have tried to flash these 2 roms will no luck.
[ROM][Stock][Rooted] D850 20f Stock ROM Debloated
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/development/rom-20f-stock-rom-debloated-t3059610
Stock LG D850 20F Lollipop 5.0.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/development/rom-lg-d850-20f-lollipop-5-0-1-extras-t3052041
So using Flashify or TWRP I have been unable to see the ROMs to flash and I have been getting the unable to mount external sd card.
I've gone through the forum several times trying to figure out what I am doing incorrectly and I haven't been able to figure it out.
All I wanted to do was debloat the phone and get it on LP.
thanks for any assistance.
Are you on 10d? Are you sure that root was successful? Does SU install properly? If so then are you able to grant Flashify SU permission? If so then you want TWRP from this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-2-8-3-0-t2981108, by 777Jon. Follow his instructions for flashing TWRP through Flashify.
If root was not successful try Stumproot also here on XDA.
Are you on 10d? Yes
Are you sure that root was successful? It says I am rooted, so I assume yes.
Does SU install properly? Yes
If so then are you able to grant Flashify SU permission? Yes.
That TWRP did it. The flash worked and its on LP. The only thing is that the debloat didn't seem to work and I still have the carrier apps, which is easy to correct.
Thanks for the help. It's much appreciated.
Glad to help. Titanium backup will get rid of most of those carrier apps. Some you can simply freeze... Good luck.
Hi, I have an HTC One M8 on 5.0.1 and I have little knowledge with rooting. I want to root my phone because there are some apps I want to use that are only capable of being used if my phone is rooted. I've tried Kingo root and it doesn't work on my phone so I was wondering if someone can give me instructions and download links so I can root my phone. If you can it would be much appreciated, thanks.

You have 2 options at the moment.
1) Ship device to one of the many great people with a Java Card/XTC2 Clip - Look at the OP of this thread to see where the people are located.
2) With some time and luck - King Root, which has been proven to work for a number of M8 users.

I was able to get S-Off using the KingRoot and Sunshine method. Now what? Although I did get root long enough to get S-off, I lose it after each time I get temp root with the KingRoot app again. KingRoot will say that I have root, but I can't get SuperSU to install.
I am doing a factory reset now and will try to use KingRoot to get temp root, then install SuperSU. Will I then be able to install TWRP after SuperSU is installed correctly?

If you are S-OFF, then I would flash a custom recovery and then a custom ROM (if you want)
or flash superSU in the custom recovery if you just want root.
Once S-OFF you are in full control of your device, so do some reading about it as you can end up with an expensive paperweight easily if you don't know what you're doing.
Or try vroot, i rooted my phone in just 1 tap
dexter0218, I think it would be BIG BIG news here if there were a one-click root solution for the newest M8. 5.01 phones aren't rootable easily.
boltz111, no need to fiddle with SuperSU. Now that you are S-Off, make sure you have ADB and get the latest TWRP for the M8. Drop to your ADP shell and do:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.zip
(sub in the name of your zip)
That's it. Then:
- Power down
- Power up in bootloader (hold down vol)
- Go to recovery
You have to go to recovery before booting or else the rom will overwrite the recovery.
Once you're in TWRP, you can load up SuperSU from a .zip and it will do its thing.
Or flash a rooted ruu from fastboot, loads you back to stock but with perm root, never had an issue
I can't find any topics at all about this phone, either because it's new or that no one uses it. Any way, I rooted it with KingRoot, that works fine. I have SuperUser as the root allow / deny program. Now the next step I would like to do is flash TWRP and then Xposed. I would also like to use SuperSu, but without a custom recovery, I am unable to update the binaries. I was told I could use FlashFire to install TWRP and Xposed, but the issue there is that it only uses SuperSu. and without a custom recovery, again I am unable to use SuperSU. Any suggestions or help or work arounds would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I guess the bottom line of what I'd like to do it to be able to install SuperSu and update the binaries so I can use FlashFire.
I'm new here so I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but here goes. I've been trying to root my '19 Galaxy Tab A T290 [T290XXU3CUF8] for a couple months now on and off. I manage to get a success message from Odin when flashing TWRP but when I try to reboot into it, it goes straight back to the OEM recovery. I have the bootloader unlocked. I have read every forum and website I could find, but to no avail. I've tried different versions of Odin and the TWRP for my model. I'd imagine once I get TWRP flashed I'll be able to successfully install SuperSU. I've read to take the battery out after getting the success message from Odin but the battery isn't removable in my model. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
SuperSU doesn't root Android: it's an application which lets you manage root permissions for apps which require root access.
Android is rooted when SU-cmdlet - by whatever method - got added to Android and is system-wide accessible.
BTW: TWRP isn't needed at all to root Android.

I'm obviously not very good with Android. Do you have any suggestions for me ? From what I've read, it sounded like, among other methods, I needed to flash SuperSU via TWRP in order to get root.
