This is maybe a stupid question but I am confused and I didn't found a clear answer to the question bellow...
All tutorial say flash CWM, Root and Gapp's.
Is it really necessary to have root access to flash from CWM?
Thanks in advance for you confirmation.

No. If you have a custom recovery (CWM) then you have root in recovery automatically that means you can flash whatever you want.
When you have custom recovery you can flash supersu zip and you''ll have root!

OK so I rooted my Moto G and I already have super user installed. My question is how do I install CWM or TWRP? I've seen videos where they unlock bootloader then flash CWM or TWRP and then flash Superuser. So should I just flash CWM or TWRP and not flash Superuser? Or...
Thanks!

Hi there!
I've been trying to flash any custom recovery to my p5100. It was never flashed before. What I did:
-tried to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657056
-tried to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50174804&postcount=3
I was doing those guides step-by step, didn't forget a thing (I'm sure)-
But everytime I flash something via PDA to the device in ODIN, and I try to go to the recovery, I get the stock recovery (3e) where I cannot apply any *.zip files as updates.
My goal is to install some android 5.0.x to the device. I know the risks.
Thank you in advance for help.

Hi,
1. Root your device using CF - Auto Root for p5100 basically download it and flash it using ODIN
2. Install any custom recovery you want this topic Custom Recovery. I use TWRP but feel free to use anything you want.
3. Go to the GT-P5100 Development and choose any Lolipop Rom that you like and enjoy it

Unmark Auto-reboot option and manually reboot into recovery.
Stock ROM overwrites custom recovery by stock one.

ok, you need to copy the kernel file to the phone memory.
Then flash the cwm file using odin.
Then reboot to recovery and flash the kernel that is stored on your phone memory.
Then when you exit CWM, it will prompt you to root, so agree to it.
You need the right cwm for your model of ohone by the way.

I have the same question.
Does anybody have root on SM-N915FY?
I tried all kinds of cwm and twrp and latest superSU (2.46, Beta 2.52).
Recovery is rightly installed via Odin, superSU correctly flashed (without errors).
Where I made a mistake?
Thank you in advance for a reply and have a nice day!

Yes it works . I have N915FY rooted using twrp 2.8.7.0 recovery and su Beta 2.52 + Micky387 kernel.
note the it will not boot without Micky387 kernel after flashing su Beta 2.52. you must flash Micky387 kernel
I'm pretty sure this has been flogged to death but YOU NEED A ROOT ENABLED KERNEL to get root access...
This has been said many times now with new threads popping up with the same topic, for all variants...

You can use any custom recovery if you want, as you have already installed magisk you might have a custom recovery, so you can install the ROM from the recovery.
