Hi all, just a simple question: at the moment I'm running the 38r version with no custom ROM/kernel. I've twrp and supersu installed and updated. Is it possible to root the phone without wipe all datas?? Thanks!

The only thing that would wipe the device is the bootloader unlock process. If you already have twrp, there is nothing to be wiped to root it. Just flash SuperSU zip in twrp

You're already rooted if you have SuperSU installed. You've posted this question in more than one place, which isn't allowed.

Hello,
I have rooted my phone, flashed TWRP 2.6.0.0 and CM 10.2 with the All-in-One Toolkit. Everything worked fine.
Then I installed the SUPER SU App from Chainfire and updated the Binary on the "normal" way. After that I uninstalled the app.
Today I wanted to install a newer version of TWRP. I used the GooManager. The download worked fine and the device rebooted. I can use the phone and I get into Bootloader but when I want to go to Recovery the device reboots and reboots....
My first thought was, that I don't have Root anymore because I uninstalled the Super SU App from Chainfire and I don't get any notifications when I start a app that needs root and the built in Super SU in the settings doesn't make any logs since some days. But Root Checker says that my device is rooted and for example Titanium Backup works fine although it's not in the list of apps with Super SU.
What can I do? Maybe trying to install the recovery with the GooManager again or new Rooting and Recovery installing with the Toolkit?
Sincerely,
May be you should flash back twrp 2.6.0.0 which was working for your phone and reinstall super su
I tried to root without the toolkit. I followed all steps and everything worked fine. But when the device rebooted after rooting I stopped in the bootscreen. I'm able to get into CM and use the phone without problems, but now the root is completely gone!
Can anyone help? I really don't know what to do now.
Edit: So, after rooting I have a Super SU app installed, but it's not able to update and not working...
Can you try with the twrp from this link:

and root again

Okay, thanks. Wich root shall I try? With flashing the SuperSu with the recovery or with getting rooted over PC?
Thanks again.

I flashed the Recovery and the SuperSU. The recovery is installed but there is no root. But I can't uninstall the installed SuperSU apk from the old try of rooting that went wrong. I only can deactivate it. Should I do this and try flashing the SuperSU.zip again?
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Edit: Problem solved with the newer SuperSU version.
i am currently on 4.4.2 with root and xposed framework already uninstalled from within the app, philz recovery mode.
when i try to install the 4.4.3 update (about 92 MB) it gives me an error on a specific apk (cannot remember exactly which one).
what are my best options? flash a stock 4.4.3 image and re root?
It's failing because of xposed. Try this

i am thinking and maybe the best for me is to make a fresh install (never did this before).
i have a couple of apps that i will need to have root and i also like keep the philz custom recovery
i never did this so i would like to know if it is safe to follow this guide:
How to flash a factory image | Return to stock | Unroot your Nexus 5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
i do not want to brick this. if i follow that, will i keep philz custom recovery? note that i am currently on 4.4.2.
and to get root again (after a fresh install of 4.4.3) will flash supersu.zip again be enough?
xposed is not needed for me and because of that i am havi all these troubles now, want to avoid that later.
edit: if i flash the file you posted, will it give me all the options i am asking right?

The link I gave you is the same as a clean install except you won't lose your data or custom recovery. You will lose root and will have to flash super su in your custom recovery. If you go with a complete clean install I'd use the link you posted. You'll have to flash a custom recovery via fastboot and then flash super su in it to root. My link will be simpler for you

I recently upgraded to 4.4.3 myself. Everything you need is in the stickies my friend. Flash the stock 4.4.2 factory ROM through philz recovery. When you upgrade to 4.4.3 you will lose your custom recovery but the boot loader should still be unlocked (mine was). Its okay, there are two options to get philz recovery back. You can use fast boot commands with the phone in the boot loader menu connected to your PC. The command itself and how to set up android SDK is in the sticky called unlocking boot loader, rooting and flashing ROM (or something like that lol). Option two is to use the app flashify available from the playstore. It will back up your custom recovery and you can use that to reflash it after you upgrade. I have not used it myself as I prefer to just use the simple fastboot commands in the cmd menu.
EDIT

Follow this tutorial on how to get your recovery back. Also the phone will no longer be rooted. There is a link in that tut to the superuser zip. Flash it through the custom recovery after you install it. You'll be rooted on 4.4.3 in less than 15 minutes from start to finish

Hi all guys.
I've just received the OTA update 30O for my oneplus one.
What i did to my phone is: root via adb and fastboot commands, install TWRP recovery 2.7.1.0 and gain root acces with SuperSU.
I then did update my recovery to TWRP 2..7.1.1 via TWRP manager installing the supported busybox from the play store.
Is it sage to OTA update using this configuration? Ive read here on the section that some people has caused havoc by updating their phone and I just want to be safe as I use my phone for work purposes too.
Thanks yall for your help :highfive: :good:
I was on cm11s the initial build with twrp.
I adb sideloaded the official OTA the @timmaaa links in his sticky in the general section, then I rebooted, and took the next OTA which installed on its own through twrp. Then I rebooted.
So it should work for you. The thread in general has all of the instructions to adb sideload it

Hello guys. I am in CM 11S stock ROM unrooted with TWRP installed. So My question is,do i need to flash stock recovery through fastboot first in order to get OTA updates ?
No you don't, having TWRP is fine.

Untick Update CM Recovery in developer options or you may have to reflash TWRP

If it tries to give you issues there should be a folder created called cm-updater or something similar. Find it and flash whatever OTA needs to be flashed...you can even do a super dooper dirty flash and just not clear anything. Works great!

Easily. You don't need root at all to have a custom recovery installed, you only need an unlocked bootloader.

Yes, but only if you haven't modified any pre-installed system files.
I have replaced few GApps with dark UI ones and couldn't use OTA anymore, as I had to modify pre-installed GApps.

How do I do it? I have a custom recovery installed (TWRP) and a rooted device. I know that I cannot use the OTA because lollipop checks the whole /system for modifications. But I want to upgrade without losing any data. I don't know how should I do it. Here are a few ideas:
1. Flash the OTA Zip using TWRP, I don't know what will happen.
2. Use the sideload option in TWRP, again I don't know what will happen.
Is there any way that I can upgrade using TWRP? It is okay if I lose my root, because I can root again; but I do not want to lose my data. Any help is appreciated. I am looking to use the factory image as my last resort.
Thanks!
You could root your 5.0 ROM and backup everything with Titanium, then flash the OTA zip and restore...

You can't flash the ota in twrp. Just flash the system and boot image from 5.1 with fastboot.
