The quickest way to do it I think if you didn't make a backup with flashify, which you should next time before you flash custom recovery again....is to CF-AutoRoot, Chainfires program roots with custom recovery then flashes stock right after so you will have stock recovery and stay rooted without doing anything else!
Thanks thats what i used to root so should be easy

No problem broskini! and sorry forgot to mention towel root, ive heard it does not trip knox, I got my phone before towel root. Towel root wouldn't do same thing as CF-Autoroot as far as flashing stock recovery! So do not use CF-Autoroot to get stock recovery if you Towel rooted.
I had my phone before towelroot also i wish id have waited to root for it but oh well still thanks for the info

Search for one click root, that will take all the steps for you, including custom recovery.

So I'm wondering if there is an easy way to root from the phone? Or any way for that matter. I'm on a cappy with stock 2.3.5 and wow it sucks. Its my wife's phone as I soft bricked my phone trying to flash helly bean over firefly 3.0. I'm guessing I didn't have the gb bootloaders. Though with this phone I do have them and should be able to easily flash helly bean with no problems once its rooted and I flash the proper kernal.

I always go to 4-2ndtwin's helpful links in his signature and use either Odin or Heimdall to install a kernel that will allow you to flash roms. Then you can just boot into recovery and flash.
I think there is a mobile odin on the market.
Ill look for mobile Odin.

Odin requires root. Is there a way to root from the phone?

No, you dont need root to use odin. Make sure you read up and find instructions. Flash a kernel with root and apply via CWM and there you go.

Mobile Odin does require Root.
And nope, no way to Root just from phone.
But there is no need to get Root if u r just gonna flash a Rom anyway. U will however need to use Odin or Heimdall to flash a kernel with the CWM Recovery baked in. (i recommend KK4 Corn Kernel v7.0A ). Once u have flashed that kernel, just use button combo to reboot into cwm and then install ur Rom of choice that u should have already copied on ur phone. Success :thumbup:

I rooted and unlocked the bootloader of my dads phone using the method found at this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439
I did the root and bootloader unlock, but he stayed fully stock with the stock ROM. If his phone gets the MF1 update and it installs, will it brick or will he just be stock unrooted again?

It won't brick but he will likely lose root access.

I'll have him download Voodoo Root Keeper and have him protect the root in case. MAYBE it will restore the root.

Just flash bonestock or one of the stock roms and flash mf1. Will get better battery life and lose all the Verizon garbage. I had to flash back to stock to send my phone back and the last two days using it on stock sucks.

Read the comments after the guide. Not very promising.
And I don't think this is posted in the correct section.
Moved here....Thanks.
I posted it and I've successfully rooted my phone and my wife's phone via this method. Running stock rooted with xposed, greenify, adaway, and several other apps that require root.
Just trying to help out as I searched for quit some time for a quick and easy way to root 4.4.2
I used ioroot25 to successfully root my AT&T LG G2 d800 running stock ota kitkat.
Been that way for weeks.
Now, there is not, as of yet, a way to get a custom recovery on the damn thing. Not without downgrading firmware and rooting first. Basically still limited to loki support for custom recoveries.

Is there a way to UNROOT
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
Just wanted to know if its possible to root (towel root) flash custom recovery and custom roms and then if I decide to later revert totally back to stock unrooted nexus without a PC. Ive attempted to read up on this but I'm a little confused that ill need to use SDK and ADB which i can't have access to at the moment or have the skills to use.
I've seen apps on google play to unlock boot loader once towel rooted but I'm just unsure if i can revert totally back to an unrooted nexus 5 with original recovery, without a pc as I'm using an iMac and having really unreliability with it :/
Id greatly appreciate any help :good:

There are a couple different options.
I'm not sure if flashify requires a unlocked bootloader. Root, flash custom recovery with flashify, make a backup. When you are done either restore backup or if stock already use flashify to flash stock recovery, delete root apps, unroot via supersu.
Boot unlocker I have heard will work to lock and unlock boot loader but I'm not sure about resetting the tamper flag.
Using fastboot and adb is always going to be the surest and safest way to root etc. Unless you are going to be submitting your phone for RMA there should be no reason to unroot. You can always flash a stock rooted ROM and just leave it.

Steps are;
-Download boot unlocker fr on play
-Download flashify from play (just in case)
-Download vomers stock ROM (number 6 in resources section in the link in my signature)
-Download stock recovery (number 7 in resources section in the link in my signature)
Firstly, flash the recovery zip via your current recovery and reboot
Then, reset The tamper flag and lock the boot loader
Finally, open SuperSU and use the full indoor option to remove Root
Good as new.
