Today I have manually done the upgrade to lollipop, but, and i also root the pone again with the nexus toolkit, but, when i use apps that require root, like titanium backup, clean master and similar, they say to me that i need the root on the phone. What can i do?

Toolkits won't root L at this time. You'll need to flash a permissive kernel too.

This is my first attempt at rooting. The device is a Nexus S (original edition), I just wanted the warranty to expire before I dabbled in this.
So, which method is the best/most current? I've found a lot of tutorials, but I haven't been keeping up to know what the best one is right now.
I'm also still on Gingerbread. Do I need to update to ICS/JB before I root? I plan on running a custom ROM (CM10) on the phone so I'm guessing I don't need to worry about what version I have when I root?

• Unlock bootloader
• Flash clockwork recovery
• Flash any Rom that you want.
• Flash gapps, enjoy.
That's just a crude way of saying it but you get the idea.

This is basically my preference, too. Make sure you use superuser or supersu (my personal preference) for jb.

You don't need to update to JB to root but in my opinion you need to update to have a better battery life and to have all new features of JB (butter etc) anyway if you want to use CM10 consider that a lot of custom rom already have root by default.
Consider that you don't need to root to flash a rom, you need root to use root app when you already are in android, so if your purpose is just to flash a new rom, follow the seibott indications without think on how to root.
To flash a rom usually you need just to unlock bootloader and flash a costom recovery, anyway you can find a guide in every rom threads.
Anyway if you want a tool that help you to install driver, flash a partition, root, or just use a temporary custom recovery whitout flash if (for example with this toolkit you can unlock your bootloader, restart your phone in temporary cwm or twrp, flash superuser/supersu to root and come back to your custom recovery rooted and without other modifications) you can read these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984858
Consider that this is not a "one click" tool, its a toolkit with a lot of options and features (driver installation tutorial, backup, back to stock, flash a singular partition etc..).
Before learn to use ADB/fastboot commands I started with this toolkit.
Since this your first time rooting i would suggest you use one click root tools..
when i was rooting my phone the first time i tried many of the one click softwares but most of them didn't work.
and finally i got to this forum and found this toolkit ..
here is the link... give it a try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672708
Worked like a Charm for me

Was on GB then rooted by this ONE CLICK ROOT TOOLKIT and now I'd Tried almost 10 Roms
No need to update for Rooting just use above link and do what M.sabra says..

Hey sorry to bother you but you seem like a guru in almost every Android topic but i have an issue at hand.
I have a HTC One SV from Boost Mobile. At first i was running ICS with root and CWM as my recovery, as your aware the JB update came out and i really wanted to update so i did the method from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...0&postcount=18 i was successful in the update, i did not check if i still had roost after the update. So i also noticed that there was a moonshine s-off method available and i proceeded with the method and successfully removed s-off. I also noticed that by doing the s-off method it also included root; so then i decided to check if root survived but i come to find out that i lost it. My original root i was using was ChainsDD superuser and the moonshine uses SuperSU, what options can i do in order to fix and gain root again? or did the JellyBean update patched root access?

yes i i flashed the CWM recovery for JB but originally it had the CWM ICS recovery, i dont know if that makes a difference.

You need custom recovery for boost, look here.
From within the custom recovery you should be able to flash something like this.
This should bring you Supersu app & SU binaries.

As far as I'm aware on 4.4.4 the only way to get root is by flashing via custom recovery, this may sound like a hard task but it is actually very easy.
First your bootloader is unlocked so step 1 is already done.
Now just follow the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1741395 as it will tell you how to get a custom recovery and root.
Also if you dont want root then everything is done, your device has no root and the SuperSU app can be uninstalled via the system app manager, your bootloader status is not your root status
Hope I could help and good luck with your Nexus 7 (2012)

Uninstalling SuperSU in system DOES NOT remove root, it just takes away the app to restrict/grant access to root

Perform a complete factory reset by reverting it to stock android, e.g. get the standard factory files/ROMs and flash them to the device

Hi,
I found around the web that is possible root the Nexus 5 without losing file over KitKat, there is a way also with lollipop??
Thanks!
Rooting doesn't cause you to lose data. Unlocking your boot loader does...
I know, but there is a way to avoid the lose of data??

Not if you have a locked bootloader, no. Use helium backup and copy your sdcard to computer
What rooting method you guys recommend,Chainfire or wugfresh?

I never recommend toolkits, so out of those two, chainfire. (Wugfresh is a toolkit)
However that said, I would recommend unlocking bootloader, fastboot flashing recovery then flashing supersu from recovery. That way you know what you're doing.

This. Just back up your entire phone (including the sdcard folder) so you are sure you won't lose anything.

So I have already installed TWRP, and want to install a ROM. My question is, should i root prior to flashing a new ROM in order to run Ti Backup? If so, what root method should I use?
TIA

You Magisk.
ok so i already loaded magisk 13 on my external sd and when i try to install from zip in twrp it fails. something new to dig into i guess.
The custom ROMS you install will be rooted already. Doesn't matter if you root before install of custom ROM.

You rooted it when you installed twrp. Installing supersu or magisk gives YOU a way to interact with root.

that's not even a question, it's a birth right of the phone,
you are losing out a lot if you don't root your phone.
just Titanium Backup alone is more than enough reason to root a phone.
being able to edit build.prop is another great reason
being able to install adaway is like a must
being able to... customize your phone and do anything you want to it is priceless.
If you've rooted, then you've unlocked the bootloader, so Android Pay won't work unless you use Magisk anyway. Titanium Backup is great, and I use it, but the bottom line is that once you've unlocked the bootloader you basically *have* to root to recover full functionality of the device for those apps that refuse to run otherwise.

Lol, never really thought of it, but yes, you have to make your device a little more unsecured in order to use secure apps. Kind of a catch 22. Gotta love it.

You can run a custom kernel that masks unlocked bootloader status without rooting.
