Hey, I recently got a Nexus 6, and instead of installing CM as I usually do, I'm going to try rooting and using Xposed. The trick is that I use Linux exclusively, so I can't use the one-click installers. It's a Nexus, so unlocking is a piece of cake, and I know how to use adb and fastboot to install a custom recovery.
From there, I'm not totally sure what to do. I downloaded the SuperSU zip from chainfire, which I'll install from twrp... Then... Do I need to install busybox or something? I guess I'll have to side load xposed after that?
Also, not sure what the update path will be after that. I guess rooting will break OTA... So what do I do?
Sorry for being such a newb! Thanks!

I have a doubt about the "one click installer" available from CyanogenMod. The software is installing the CM12 version on Nexus 5? If it is not installing the new version and if I want to install flashing the phone, I will need wipe data, cache...? And I need to install GAPPS?
Thank U!!!

Do not use this AIO tool. Flash manually and understand what you are flashing on your device.

If it doesn't work, your phone should still be ok. It's fine to ask questions, that's how we learn. XDA Assist isn't a general helpdesk area though, our purpose is to point people who don't know where to post in the right direction. So if you need to ask any questions about the root methods you can do so in the threads that contain the root methods that I linked you to earlier. Or if you have any general questions about your device the best place for them is the q&a section for your device which is here:

As I mentioned above, XDA Assist isn't a general helpdesk area, our purpose is to point people who don't know where to post in the right direction. If you have a question about that specific method then it's best to post your question in that thread, or general questions about your device can be asked in the q&a section I linked you to above.

I have a straight talk galaxy s3 (sch-s968c) and have no plans to upgrade it. i really like this phone. i got a samsung gear live as a gift and like it as well. after wading through forums for the last two weeks, i have managed to root my phone. now i just need simple directions on how to get the android updated to 4.3 or 4.4. either one is fine for my needs. i tried to follow some forum threads on how to do this, but they are usually too vague for me to accomplish it. help. please.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The best place to get help is the device's specific forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att. They are the experts on your device. Your device is a variant of the S3 so you may have to work a little to find the answers you're looking for. But here are some tips:
You can usually find stock firmware for Samsung devices at Samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com. They are flashable in Odin. Always backup first, off your device, before using Odin
There may or may not be a root method for 4.3 or 4.4. Root exploits are generally patched with each new android version. Check in the forum I linked you to.
Don't be afraid to ask questions in the threads you've found. They are the experts. At XDA Assist we have good overall general knowledge but may not have knowledge specific to your device.
Good luck!

I've been attempting to root for a while now with no success. Is rolling back a viable option or is there another way? Currently i'm on 4.4.4. Please provide detailed instructions if there is another way. I've rooted my previous phone with towelroot, but it did not work on this phone. I'll update if i need to list any other info.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Your first step should be to visit your device's specific forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5. They are the experts on your device. Then look through and read some of the threads in the general forum. You'll probably find most of your answers there. If you don't, then go to the Q&A forum and look through this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2697270. And if you still can't find an answer then ask in that forum.
Good luck and welcome to XDA.

Thanks, Let me try that.

Hi!
Here is your device section,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2
The development sections have many roms to choose from, assuming you have installed a custom recovery.
If not, I suggest reading the guides and frequently asked questions threads in the General and Q&A sections... Usually near the top of the first pages.
There's a lot to read and learn about here... You'll need to dedicate time for this hobby.
If you have further questions , you can open a thread in the Q&A section.
Good luck!
