[Q] Rooting Nexus 5 running Android 5.0 (final version) - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I used the Android 5.0 preview version until a few minutes ago. It was rooted and everything was working great.
I flashed the final 5.0 version just a few minutes again.
Rooted again the same way and it doesn't seem to work. At least Titanium Backup claims it's not rooted (although it does show up in SuperSU).
Any thoughts?

Cyanogenmod - Nexus One ?

OK so I've been waiting patiently for my Nexus One and it's finally here. So far I've rooted (uber easy) and installed RA-nexus-v1.5.3 and then installed Modaco's custom rom.
Here's my question?
How do I install the Cyanogenmod on my nexus one? Do I need "makin' bacon" ?
I tried installing the latest stable version 4.2.13 but it didn't work because it's not for Nexus One, right?
I'm 100% virgin when it comes to using a smartphone....I've always used the cheapest most basic pos I could find but my last one just broke and I couldn't resist this phone since I'm a heavy GV user. Please forgive the ignorance and thanks in advance
Your obviously a virgin to forums and how to use them as well. The search button is your friend..

Either install Cyans add-on or leave Modaco's
I wasn't sure if I needed it or not? Total n00b until about an hour ago but I'm sure with snappy remarks and quick retorts I'll learn real quick
Thanks!

Well you are a noob to all this so the first thing you need to do before you ever flash anything is read up on how everything works. There is no cyanogen rom for the nexus one yet. Before you flash anything always do a backup beforehand. Roms are not interchangeable so don't ever try and flash a rom that's for another device. Read the informative thread in the development section, all the information you need is there so read read and read again, that's the best advice I can give you. Also before posting make sure you are posting in the correct section, this should have been posted in the development section not here.

[Q] rXtreme ROM i9305 - wipe for upgrade or no need?

Hi Guys, so question is pretty much in the title. I did a search, but honestly didn't know what terms to use.
Basically, I'm using rXTREME's 5.0 rom and I want to update to 6.0. Do I need to wipe and reinstall or can I upgrade over the existing rom?
I ask this because although I like updates, redoing your phone every few weeks is wearisome, though not complaining about the rom itself
Thanks!

[Q] Which custom roms disable the OTA updates?

So since Verizon is starting to push out the 4.2.2 my phone is now complaining that it wants to update. I don't really want to be forced into a new ROM whenever Verizon thinks it's a good time so I'm looking at my options for rooting and going with a custom ROM. However, I can't find which ROMs allow and which ones disallow the OTAs.
These two sound pretty good:
CleanRom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832070
BoneStock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275376
Is there a way to know without installing it?
Thanks,
-Greg
Install any rom you want just delete the smd.apk with titanium backup and you won't get bugged for an ota and to be exact it's 4.1.2 ota.

Check the existing thread. Everything you need has already been explained.
@jonas.anderssen
Why exactly do you want to root? Because you have a specific need, a particular application that you can't live without? Or because it's super-cool to have a rooted phone? Rooting can be simple, but it brings difficulties, such as no longer being able to install OTA updates, so you're looking at doing manual updates every month every time Google releases a new version with security updates.

There are countless threads here and also dedicated stickied threads describing step by step how to do this. If you want someone to hold your hand and don't want to do any of the reading or work, then you shouldn't root your phone. Because you'll just be on here in a month crying about how your phone is bricked and wanting someone to hold your hand again.

Hello, i am sorry i thought i replied to you but somehow i missed it. I would like to root my secondary phone because i do have some apps i cant use them without a unrooted phone. I am aware that i wont be able to install weekly updates but thats not necessary because this is a secondary phone.
I have found out a website that shows me how to root it it asked me to download fastboot, recovery clockworl. beta supersu, android studio and hamemrhead mmb2. It seems to be a complex issue but i remember in the past i used ODIn and it rooted the phone within 10 seconds without any issue. Is that still possible?
Thank you again for your time
Ten seconds, no.
But the website says to download "hamemrhead mmb2", which I suppose is Hammerhead MMB29S. If all you want is root, and not a new ROM, you can do it easily by booting into recovery (CWM or TWRP) and installing SuperSU v2.66. It's that easy. 30 seconds, maybe.
And if you're going to work on your phone you need to work on your typing skills first...
You have an excellent resource in this Q&A section, had you read prior to posting your own thread, you probably would be rooted by now.
