then my xoom can boot-up to system but it only have 4.18G in the internal. When I use the method at the link, but I can't fix the problem. What can I do?
below is the step what I did:
1. When I use the international rom the XOOM is 3.01
2. OTA UPDATE to 3.1
3. use fastboot toe reflash recovery to CWM 3.2
4. go to android recovery
5. saw it is CWM 3.2 recovery mod
6. install zip at SD-card
7. install the Tiamat-Xoom-Rom-2.1-Hammerhead.zip
8. install the Universal Xoom Root.zip
9. install the hk-ver-update.zip (download at this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17070610&postcount=46)
10. reboot the xoom
then I only hold it on the boot screen. can't go to system.
At now I reflash to the international rom and OTA update to 3.1 now.

just do unlock it then reboot again ..
You're doing it wrong!!
Steps are:
1. Unlock bootloader (need flashboot and adb drivers from moto)
2. boot up os and turn on USB debugging, on PC open cmd, navigate to android ask folder\platform tools
3. Type 'adb reboot bootloader'
4. Type 'fastboot OEM unlock'
5. follow on-screen instructions on tablet
6. type 'fastboot reboot' in cmd
7. download recovery image and place it in platforn-tools folder.
8. Reboot into bootloader again using adb
9. Type 'fastboot flash recovery *name of recovery image*'
10. Reboot into cwm on tablet to flash universal root zip.
After that you can flash any roms/kernels you want through cwm.

Hello
I have a HTC One S, and I was trying to update it to 4.2.2 with CyanogenMod10.1. Before I start anything, I want to know if I have to unlock the bootloader first, or root the phone first. Can someone tell me what to do? Thanks.
Unlock the bootloader. Then flash a custom recovery, like TWRP. Then copy the cm10.1 zip from your laptop to your phone. Extract the boot.img from the zip file to your adb folder. Flash the CM10.1 zip on your phone. Then reboot the device to the bootloader from the recovery. Connect your phone to the PC. Open your adb command prompt and type fastboot flash boot boot.img. Reboot.

Hello guys, I had root when I had androd 4.4.4 but uprading it to 5.0.1 made my root ineffective. When I open my app list I can still see there is SuperSU but when I try to open, it says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!
If you just upraded to android 5.0 you need to manually re-roo - consult the relevant forums for your device."
Well thats why I'm here. I googled the "how to root android 5.0.1 on linux" term but there wasnt any way to do it.
I hope you guys can help me.

Download the SuperSU zip file (google for it) an then install it from recovery. I assume you have a custom recovery and the android sdk(adb + fastboot) on your linux desktop.
Other option is to install a custom ROM with the SuperSU already installed. I am running Cataclysm rom.
Hope it helped!

(To get adb/fastboot, most Linux distros have them packaged outside the android-sdk - android-sdk is mostly used by app devs. Most people will only use adb or fastboot, thus have no need for the sdk, which brings heavy java deps)
@Conixcit , http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/#root - easy enough.
At least for Ubuntu based distros you can
1. Install adb and fastboot by going the terminal and entering:
sudo add-apt-repository ppahablet-team/tools && sudo apt-get update
(Edit: that is supposed to be a colon followed by a p)
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
2. Enable debugging in developer options
3. Type in the terminal:
sudo adb start-server
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
4. Download the latest version of twrp and the supersu.zip for the nexus 5 (hammerhead)
5. Rename the twrp file "recovery.img" and move it into your home folder
6. Type into the terminal:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
7. Let it do its thing and then turn it on. Drag your supersu.zip into a folder on your phone (somewhere where you find it)
8. Type into the terminal:
adb reboot-bootloader
9. Use the volume buttons to scroll down to recovery then short press the power button. Once booted into recovery, choose install, find SuperSU and swipe to install
9. Power on the phone and go into SuperSU and check if the binaries need to be updated and if they do say yes and when it asks you to reboot, do so.
Hope that helps

Here is the question, will I lose my data after step 6 ?
Second ;
Can I install SuperSU. zip directly command line without twrp. I don't like recovery things.
My meaning is ; can I install the SuperSU.zip with "fastboot flash recovery SuperSU. Zip " or something like that. I've installed Android L manually, so first 5 step is already done.

"fastboot oem unlock" is what wipes the /data partition. Flashing a recovery only replaces the recovery.
You can't flash a zip in fastboot, and sideloading the zip probably won't work if you're on the stock recovery. It's best to flash a custom recovery anyways since it lets you do backups (important if you have root access) and flash other things that you may want to.

Well we have a problem here: I wanna root my phone but as you say I need to install custom recovery first. But as you said again I need rooted phone.
So : how I'm gonna do that ?
As I said before ' I've already did "fast OEM unlock" step.
So my question is :
will I lose any data while installing custom recovery via adb (terminal)
I'm saying that again : fast OEM thing is already done.

Huh?
- You need an unlocked bootloader to flash a custom recovery (which you do, fastboot oem unlock)
- You need a custom recovery to flash SuperSU for root access
I already answered your question in my previous post. Again: fastboot oem unlock is what wipes the /data partition, flashing a recovery using fastboot does not.
I rooted my phone on 5.0.1 without problems. Maybe try a different version of CF-Autoroot or do it on a computer running Windows.

Except you need root access to use that in the first place.
His bootloader is already unlocked.
That app is for those that already have root access, but want to relock and unlock the bootloader from within Android for possible security reasons.

Towelroot was used to gain root access via a kernel exploit. It has long since been patched and is now irrelevant. The only methods now require you unlock the bootloader.
Damn it, Elluel already told the OP what he needs to do.
Everybody else stop. You're causing more confusion by saying **** like "towelroot" or "cf auto root".
There's nothing simpler than flashing a custom recovery, and then the supersu flashable zip.
If OP needs to help to learn how to push a file to the device... that's has been answered in other threads a thousand times in this forum.

Hi all,
Well I love my phone, just love it! BUT having bought it from China, like many I am stuck with the Chinese Model and firmware. Huawei Australia have assisted in unlocking the bootloader, now I am ready to root the phone. BUT, I have not had any luck sourcing a root method for it. Can someone please PLEASE help.
I am desperate as it keeps booting me out of Google Play Services, rendering my Huawei watch useless (ironic huh)
Any help would be appreciated. Email me if you like [email protected]

That sounds to easy, only question, how do I do that? Is there an instruction manual or guidance anywhere?
I have flashed other phones in the past but this one is stumping me.
I have looked for some of these methods only to be completing surveys that inundate me with spam and phone calls, only to be left without the downloads that I needed. Did I mention how much I love my phone?
Thanks again

Managed to root my phone.. even when I have updated the EMUI to B018, but there was an issue.. I tell you below
Step I follow from Chinese Forum below...
Preparation step :
1. download the tools from
https://www.mediafire.com/?9drsdo2f6hn4j34
2. Extract the content to your local. Note there are two folders :
- Folder 1 is for the tool that contains the TWRP recovery.img and the adb/fastboot tool,
- Folder 2 is for the original recovery
3. Copy the SuperSU zip to your phone (either in internal or external memory of your phone)
Installation step :
Step 0, unlock your bootloader (search around on how to do it)
1. Since I am using mac, somehow I don't need to install any driver, but if you using windows, install all the driver yourself
2. Enable the developer mode in your phone, and after that enable the usb debugging
3. Turn off your phone, and boot to fastboot (in off mode, connect the phone with your PC then press Volume Up and Power Button together)
4. Since now your phone has been connected to the PC, go to that Tool folder in respective of your OS, then overwrite the recovery with TWRP with fastboot command (install custom recovery) *note : for mac just add "./" in every command
- check the whether its connected : fastboot devices
- install TWRP : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. Restart your phone and boot to recovery
- restart : fastboot reboot
- after reboot, turn off your phone
- reboot to recovery : turn on your phone by holding Volume Down with Power button
- Now you are at TWRP
6. Install SuperSU (root)
- Install SuperSU zip that has already been copied to your phone using TWRP (use the Install mode)
7. Reboot the phone
- Use reboot function in twrp
8. Profit
Theoritically the above things works but I have some issues following the above :
- After step 4, after recovery being flashed with TWRP seems like my phone Boot Partition is being overwritten too
- So when I rebooted the phone, it boot to TWRP instead
- So I tried to re-flashed the recovery with the original EMUI rom recovery (go to the folder "2.P8Max_Official_Recovery(For_restoration)" to find the original recovery.img). Also note that in the this folder, the adb and fastboot is only for mac. The one for windows use it in the tools
- This is done by going to fastboot again, then do command : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- This time using the original recovery
- Now when I rebooted the phone, it goes to EMUI recovery, then I just clicked restart to system or something
- After this, everything fixed, and I have SuperSU install and phone rooted
You can follow the above, but do it at your own risk, I am not responsible if your phone brick hehehe..

The recovery img file link did you downloaded it?
You must download it and but the recovery.img file in fastboot folder
Then rename it to recovery.img.
And open cmd orders from fastboot folder .
Just type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You must download the recovery file into the same folder that you ran your command and in your case "p8 max root". Make sure that the recovery filename is recovery.img instead of some other names.

Hello,
I have twice but now I am stuck on the Huawei logo and powered by Android screen. I can boot into Stock Bootload but no longer TWRP
even though I have reflashed recovery twice. Just chinese language and the EMUI screen with the three options
I think it's time to unroot and flash a new system and do it like i posted, then it will work!

Hi,
Is it possible to install TWRP v3.0.0.0 on a LG Nexus 5 HAMMERHEAD v6.0.1 (MMB29Q) without rooting? Not that it's something I absolutely need to do but by browsing through different sites and tutorials, it seems possible although my own tests prove the contrary...
Firstly, on TWRP official website, it's written that you can:
Fastboot Install Method (No Root Required):
You will need the platform-tools from the Android SDK on your computer. Find the SDK Only section on the page linked and install the SDK and download only the platform-tools to get adb and fastboot binaries.
Windows users will need proper drivers installed on your computer. You can try the Naked ADB drivers or the Universal ADB drivers if you don't already have a working driver installed
On your device, go into Settings -> About and find the Build Number and tap on it 7 times to enable developer settings. Press back and go into Developer Options and enable USB debugging. From your computer, open a command prompt and type:
adb reboot bootloader
You should now be in fastboot mode. Download the correct image file and copy the file into the same folder as your adb and fastboot binaries. Rename the image to twrp.img and type:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.

I tried this method but it didn't work at all:
After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP.

Even I booted directly to TWRP recovery mode after I manually flashed it, it obviously didn't patched the stock ROM since after I later booted the phone normally in Android system and rebooted in recovery mode, the stock recovery mode was back, no TWRP!
Secondly, when I used Nexus Root Toolkit (NRT) v2.1.4, I had no choice but to root if I wanted to flash the custom recovery (TWRP). I successfully rooted and installed TWRP permanently using the tool.
Therefore, is installing TWRP without rooting some kind of myth that maybe worked with previous Android build and TWRP versions or is there actually really a way to do so?
I just did it yesterday on the March patch but had to flash twrp twice. The first time it bypassed recovery and booted into the os. After booting back into the bootloader and flashing twrp again it did boot into twrp.

To install TWRP, the phone needs to have an unlocked bootloader, not root.
You can flash TWRP using fastboot commands. After flashing TWRP in fastboot, use the volume and power button to boot directly into recovery.
