Hello Xda Members. I have bought Nexus 5 - 32Gb
I want to root it but don't want to loose the original Stock Rom. Upgraded my device to Android 5.0 and it's working fine.
I found some information on this site... Let me know if this is safe. Please guide me with step by step process

Thanks
If you're boot loader is unlocked, just flash twrp recovery in fastboot. Then flash supersu 2.36 in twrp if your bootloader is locked, well then unlocking it is going to wipe your device. See the general forum for how to unlock and flash a custom recovery

I know if I unlock the boot loader then it will wipe my device and then I have to use custom recovery.. My question is that the above link in my message didn't showed any unlocking of the boot loader.. Is this possible.

Sorry, I'm on my mobile device and can't get to the link. But I can tell you that on 5.0 there isn't a way to root without unlocking the bootloader. I'm guessing the link talks about towelroot. That worked on previous versions of android but not 5.0

Yes I'm talking about Towelroot. Well if there is no way then I will not root my device because previously I have used HTC One X and rooted it as well but didn't find much options after rooting it just I have the file on the root access. Currently No app ask me for root access. I can copy Games to Android Folder and etc..

Hello,
I'm guessing most of you already know that the android 5.0 or android lollipop updates started rolling out OTA. My nexus 5 is rooted and its running stock android 4.4.4 with the stock recovery. Also my boot loader is locked. Should I "un-root" my nexus 5 for the OTA update or should I try updating it with root on my phone?
Regards,
cyberusman
It should update with root but you'll lose it. You'll need to unlock your bootloader to root again though. I'd just unlock with boot unlocker and flash factory image personally.

I took the OTA with root and stock recovery. Updated, lost root, but the bootloader is still unlocked. My N5 is the Google play store edition if that makes a difference. Im I'm guessing carrier specific phones are relocking the bootloader.

OTA doesn't lock the bootloader. All nexus 5's are created equal
Hello All, I have a rooted Nexus 5 with custom recovery. I need to update the same to 5.1 but since I am rooted I am unable to do the same through OTA updates. Can someone please point me out to the instructions to update the same? I tried a few things from online but it did not help. Which will be the best solution to update the android version without losing the root and the data on the phone? I will be really appreciative if someone can help me with the same.
Just unroot, install the ota and reroot on 5.1. You might have to lose the custom recovery but it's easy to install it back

5.0 will check recovery and overwrite twrp if your not rooted. Download latest SuperSU and place on sd. Boot to boot loader/fastboot. Fastboot flash recovery recovery.IMG. then fastboot boot recovery.IMG. then when twrp boots, flash SuperSU. Reboot

download the factory image and you can use the flash-all.bat in the factory 5.1 image as long as you remove the -w. The -w is what tells it to wipe. Once that is done, you will be on 5.1 and you can then re-root by booting into a custom recovery (fastboot boot recovery.img) and installing the root.zip from there. That will get your root back.
Thanks everyone for the help. I was able to successfully install the update and re-root the device using the wugfresh toolkit.
See OTA help desk thread on General forum.
I got a galaxy note 8. i rooted using chainfire auto root. then used flashify to flash twrp. now my question is i heard you need to unlock bootloader before flashing a rom. how do i know if mine is locked or not. i have the GT-N5110 model if that helps.
also i cyanogenmod as safe as googles stock rom. and where do i get the Gapps.zip thx.
If the TWRP that you flashed with Flashify is working, probably your bootloader is unlocked.
Flash it directly after installing twrp and root.

Hello!
I want to unlock my bootloader and root my phone to flash a custom ROM. I have many questions regarding this:
1. http://www.howtogeek.com/239798/how-to-unlock-your-android-phones-bootloader-the-official-way/ This link has instructions to unlock bootloader the official way. It is written there that bootloader of some specific models of some phones might not be unlockable, and it told me to check on XDA developers. So is OnePlus X E1003 Onyx's bootloader unlockable? If not, it is written that I will need to use the unofficial method given at XDA developers.
2. After unlocking my bootloader using ADB, fastboot and all that, do I need to flash a custom recovery like TWRP, CloCkworks mod, etc. ? If yes, pls tell me where to find it and how to flash it!!
3. Do I neet to root my device before flashing a custom ROM? Also, how to root my device manually using adb? Should I use apps like Kingroot for rooting my phone. If yes, pls suggest apps other than kingroot! and also tell me how to root manually using zipped files!
4. What is the safest and ideal way to flash a custom ROM? As OnePlus X hasn't yet received Marshmellow update, is it advisable to flash CM13? Is there any OxygenOS v 3.3 Rom for Oneplus x?? pls helP!!

There really is no way to have root on Android Marshmallow 6.0 with Emmc_CID_11 but you have safestrap so you can install xposed or most mod zips , delete system files you dont want etc

In that case you most likely need to do a full wipe, as well as formatting data,( the option were you have to type yes), in TWRP. The ROM works flawlessly on my phone. Good luck and insure that you have backed all your data first because this Will erase all data on internal storage.

No because flume OS like all custom (roms, or most) require an unlocked bootloader. CID11 g900v can't be bootloader unlocked.

Just make sure that you have everything good and backed up. Do a full wipe in twrp / you may need to update twrp (klte version works for klrevzw now, as do klte aosp roms) flash rom gapps and root if you want it. / Reboot/ enjoy.

Anyone have any luck running Blackberry work with this magisk rom? I have apps hidden using magisk hide, Google play shows it is certified, but Blackberry work fails enrollment. On stock, it works fine. This is on a CID 15 phone.
Apparently Blackberry Work does more checks than google safety net and can detect modification. If anyone has any ideas how I can make Blackberry work think my phone is not modified, please let me know.
I've tried core only mode, hiding the app. What else can I try?
towel root
:trying to run towel root massage this phone isn't currently supported
Is compatible with xposed ?
The instructions worked like a charm on my EMMC 11. Props to the Op !
One question....looking to install AOKP or LineageOS which needs latest TWRP to install. How do I upgrade TWRP in Safestrap on the EMMC 11? I only see the new version for EMMC 15.
Thanks
