Has anyone been able to root Lollipop 5.1 build LMY47I on Nexus 5? If so, please share.
Thanks
Do this, download the twrp image to your pc. Download supersu 2.46 to your device. Then boot into the bootloader and do the following:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Flash supersu in it
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Profit, you have twrp installed and you're rooted.

It didn't root my device. It flashed supersu 2.46 find within twrp and installed twrp too but when I ran the Root Checker app, it stated that my devices wasn't properly rooted. Any other suggestions?

Did you checked if you have the SuperSU app on your app drawer?
Yep. I have the SuperSU app on my app drawer. When In run the app, it states that no SU binary found. I am gonna try flashing SuperSU binary in an earlier version of TWRP to see if that can solve the problem.

I used sunshine to s-off and now I need root and su. Twrp says I don't have root so it can't be used, supersu says I don't have binaries installed so it can't be used. I'm confused how I'm supposed to root when any program I use says I can't use it because I need the other one installed first..... They all point to each other and I can't use any. Help please!

flash twrp FROM FASTBOOT. flash root from twrp.
To clarify, flash the SuperSU.zip in TWRP, after you flash TWRP from fastboot.

I have read many how to's to Unlock boatload then flash recovery and Super user. I just wondered if it would be possible once the bootloader is unlocked to down load the Twrp and SU APK's from the google play store. Twrp App has option to install from within the app.
My theory is this.
1 unlock bootloader.
2 install SU to root phone
3 install Twrp and install twrp recovery from within app.
New to ONO.

That won't work because the TWRP app requires root. You need to do this
1. Unlock bootloader.
2. Flash TWRP.
3. Flash SuperSU with TWRP.
See my guide:

Maybe you should download the flashable zip of supersu from chainfire site then flash it through your custom recovery, and i think you better use twrp recovery, it's more updated. Hope this could help you...
Flash zip in custom recovery: https://download.chainfire.eu/396/supersu/

Hi,
I assume you have a TWRP recovery installed?
I used the SuperSu (Systemless) (attached) and it has worked fine.

Then flash supersu. I would use the adb command to unlock that boot loader asap.

Hello. I'm trying to flash a TWRP custom recovery on a SM-A305G (Galaxy A30). While reading the official A30's post on the TWRP website, in order to properly flash the custom recovery, they recommend me to first root my device with Magisk (which I understand how to) but THEN flashing a pre-rooted TWRP image for my device. How could this be done?

Thanks in advance to who could answer this question. Internet hero.
Rooting Android OS is adding an user with elevated rights ( comparable to adminstrator in Windows OS ) to it, nothing else.
TWRP recovery does not require a phone's Android is rooted.

That just isn't how it is done, we don't root TWRP, we root the phone's OS. There isn't anything to "root" in or about TWRP because TWRP has the power to modify a device without needing root.
It isn't required, but, it is possible to root a device and then use an app such as Rashr, Flashify or TWRP Manager along with root permissions to flash a TWRP img or even use a Terminal Emulator app with root permissions to install TWRP via dd commands. It doesn't "have" to be done this way, it's just an alternative way to achieve root and flash TWRP on devices that are capable of doing it this way, in this order, not all devices can do it this way.
I want to have Magisk AND TWRP.
I rooted the phone with Magisk and had Magisk running.
Then installed TWRP app and flashed TWRP with root permission.
Now TWRP is installed but Magisk is gone again.
How can I have BOTH?

Flash the Magisk.zip via TWRP just to be sure binaries are installed, then wipe cache and dalvik cache in TWRP then boot into system and install the Magisk Manager app(if it dosen't get installed when you flash the Magisk.zip).
Unfortunately not working.
I installed Magisk via Odin wirh a Magisk-patched stock rom ( Galaxy A10). WORKED
Then installed TWRP via Odin and got TWRP and Magisk working by immediately booting into recovery after flashing.
But then I installed the CrDroid custom rom via TWRP and now Magisk is gone.
