Is it possible to use goomanager to install TWRP after the device is rooted with cf root?

Yep. That's the easiest way to do it.

Yes, though having a Nexus device, it'd be good for you to learn fastboot/adb. Comes in handy.
Cool. Thanks guys. I guess is this correct?
1. Cf root
2. Goomanager for twrp
Twrp will stick right? I saw some people needing to flash like 6 times before twrp sticks.

As aznk3vi17 says, go the adb fastboot way. You'll be better off in the long run than using a bunch of easy tools. Sooner or later you're going to get yourself into trouble where they'll come in handy.

Yeah but when you download twrp the page go to 403 error.
Thanks guys. I guess I will do it via GooManager.

No you won't. The download page doesn't work.
I'll probably do it later then.
IIRC it's been like that for a week or more. Just do the ADB flash. Or use Flashify. That's just as easy as Goo.
Download the Flashify app, download the TWRP recovery img file to your phone and install with flashify from your phone.

Or just fastboot flash the recovery on. It takes 20 seconds tops.

I can just download the latest one and flash it with flashify right?

Correct. As long as you have the img file and not zip.
You'll just go in to your downloads and tap it, install with flashify and you're done. Restart the device in fastboot mode and scroll to recovery to make sure it took.
Is it possible to brick devices this way?

Just don't use goo manager to flash roms. It's way too easy to find a rom that is not for your device and flash it. I'll use goo to put on the recovery and then remove it from my phone

It's possible but not likely. If anything it just won't over write the stock recovery.
when trying to install TWRP with goomanager says 403 error when downloading, why?

I'm new in Android and i don't know how install fwrp with other method

Use flashify. That's what I did.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I don't know do that, how i can do that?I'm very new with Android
For some reason I can't get flashify to work. When I press on the IMG I want to flash it doesn't do anything.
But I also know how to use adb so it's not a huge issue.

i have flashify i can flash mods and etc through this instead of in the recovery ?
Yes, but you need to have a recovery already installed.

I wanna try this, any problems?

Read the post above yours.
You need a custom recovery installed to do this.
I read on a website that its been updated,
What's the easiest way to update? Worth updating ?
I rooted my phone using wugfesh kit and flash droidkang v19 ROM ,

Great app but this isn't an official one.
The XDA thread has been closed and there's no update on Google Play for 2 months.
I don't know if jmz still has other projects... Flashify is also a great app to directly flash the img files without a PC.
I heard that
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
works pretty well...

No need to use Fastboot if you already have a recovery to flash with.

It doesn't hurt to know all the options and procedures. Actually OP would have already known this if he hadn't used a toolkit to root in the first place
-1 for toolkits
But yes, options are:
Fastboot flash img
recovery install zip
Flashify flash img
Thanks to all for the help suggestions , but yeah I used a tool kit which means I don't know how to do it manually that's why I asked for the easiest way to update .

It would be good to learn how to do it manually. It's really pretty easy. And you'll know your phone better and know how to do things yourself.

Anyone else see this? It's touted for the nexus 5 in addition to other devices. Anyone know why? Will it root with a locked bootloader ?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
We only need to unlock the bootloader to flash recovery. If an exploit has been found in kitkat, it is possible to root without unlocking the bootloader.
This could mean a full, end-to-end rooting process without the need to use a pc

Can you flash a recovery from Android, say through Flashify, if you have root, but the bootloader is locked?

Yeah.. My bootloader is locked and can flash recovery via flashify.
Although that's assuming bootunlocker truly locks the same as fastboot does because that's how I locked my bl.

yes. if you have root you can. worst case, there are apps to lock/unlock your bootloader if you do have root. can unlock, flash recovery via flashify, then relock.

Because I think an app that can root without a pc (and fastboot) will promote a lack of the need to learn the basics, giving us members here a hard time supporting people who don't know the basics

Understood, but this tool is handy for me that decided to root my phone after had everything setup and I was lazy to backup everything > unlocked, root etc and restore.

Haha. I wouldn't go that far
I just fear we'll get a new class of people. The "commute and root" crowd who accidentally wipe their ROM on the train to work ?

Yeah but someone who wipes /system on a train has at least possibly previously used fastboot or has a backup stored off their phone.
I see a lot of twrp users wiping /system and /sdcard.. If these people do the whole process on the way to work,, there's 0 chance of any backup anywhere.

Totally agree. Then it's up to us to teach them fastboot and flash a factory image. Yea, it kind of sucks, I'll a agree. But what can we do?
@rootSU you don't know how much I agree with you, a s.... storm is happening in the s4 forum because of towelroot.

Here's my stance.
I will not mention it as an option. If anyone asks if they can root without a pc I will not answer.. If anyone else mentions this app to them or someone asks about it specifically, I will advise on a best practice. I will also give warnings
Thats all I can do.

We could make a guide but I haven't time to do that right now. But if we could create our own guide with our warnings about not flashing anything until Nandroid and always being extra sure not to wipe stuff whilst away etc,, maybe there is a chance?
I don't know. It's a Concern
