Rooting issues - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Soon as I received my device I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP then the latest SuperSU but I still do not have root access.

Yes I did.
I did a factory reset and all seems to be fine now.

I got the exact same issue,
I tried the latest from chainfire and used other variants too
No luck rooting though

Same here. I'm unlocked, have phils recovery installed, and have flashed the supersu 2.01 and still no root.

I'm not sure why you guys aren't getting root. I'm using TWRP 2.7.1.0 and it works fine.

Figured it out. There is a setting in SuperSU that says to respect CM root access setting in developer settings. we don't have that setting under developer, so I unchecked it, and root now works.

Just be sure to uncheck "update CM recovery" on the developer options.

Actually, those instructions weren't included in the toolkit thread I used.

Yeah, i know how to do all that stuff. was just looking for a quick way while at work. haha. i investigated it and found the "fix" on my own. BTW, the part I posted in here isn't listed in that thread, either. Maybe his SuperSU.zip was already preconfigured to bypass developer settings, but the step isn't actually listed.

Ok.... I as well as many others have rooted our phones with that method and I did not have to do any of the stuff you mentioned. Probably because the instructions on that page get it done the right way from the start. Its ok both of us are rooted and you helped someone out
Not a fan of toolkits and to be honest its just a driver ms-dos window and some commands at work or not its still simple. :good:

Update ruined my root, what to do?

Yeah yeah i was dumb and whatever, never update when you have root!!!! Warning to newbies!
I googled my problem like 20 times but couldnt quite find any solutions so im asking you guys what to do?
My CWM app says "This version of CWM manager should be used with CF-Root v5.0 or newer. it appears you are running a different kernel. Various features have been disabled."
So i lost superuser abilities after i did an update that was a 8mb file.
What to do? Root it again? or what?

[Q] Root One S

Sorry if i'm posting in the wrong place. It won't let me post in the developer section.
I rooted my One X back in March and decided to switch to the One S because the One X is a bit big for my little hands.
I have followed the root instruction, unlocked bootloads without any problems but when i flash CWM it say its been successful but it won't boot when into to recovery. Instead I get a message at the top saying loading recovery and a message at the bottom saying something about being an android device and i shouldn't be doing what i'm doing.
Has anyone else had this problem, or does anyone know what I might be able to try to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Don't use CWM it hasnt been support for a long time, instead use TWRP so so so much better.

[Q] How do I ROOT the Nexus 5!?

I tried both toolkits in the Origional Android Development sections and neither of them work. They all ask for a donation. I do not want to donate until I can verify that it works. Nothing I have tried has allowed me to root my phone.
I am on Android 4.4.4 on T-Mobile.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

first things first, if you have no idea whats going on do not use root toolkits.
secondly, we have wonderful sticky posts here to make it easy to find useful info, rooting a nexus 5 is useful.
the basics..
1. use fastboot to unlock your bootloader
2. use fastboot to flash a custom recovery
3. use that new custom recovery to flash supersu, the superuser(root) binaries
4. boot up with root.
5. now why do we need toolkits?

because too many people that use toolkits are brand new, and they dont learn the very basics of modding the phone by skipping that step. then later on, when all there is to do is some basic maintenance, they freak and think they destroyed their device. or many similar stories like that. anyways, i dont have any issue with toolkits overall, just the newest users. what id like to see is a toolkit that also explains the basics, so the user can learn the basics. anyways, with nexus devices, its just as easy doing it properly. if you have fastboot installed, the process takes 3-4 minutes.

Still, like tool kits, doesn't teach the basics that are needed to fix problems. If then person already knows these basics, fine but if not. They're a burden on this forum and us when we're trying to help so only suggest this to people who know what they're doing.

Rooting!!! (SOLVED)

Sorry for not reading the forum. I just broke my tmobile phone and need to order a new one ASAP. Root is a must for me. Can you please shortly let me know will I be able to root any Note 5 SM-N920T or not?
Yes it can be rooted but you're going to have to do some reading and research. There's no quick "one click root" method.

Rooting this phone is easy. Make sure you have Samsung drivers installed, download Odin, download custom recovery, Odin custom recovery, download and flash systemless root. Done.
Do a search and you'll find what you need.

Please be aware that you will lose Samsung Pay by tripping Knox and there's no way of getting it back. You will also lose Android Pay while rooted.
