At the moment I am still at latest version of Lollipop with root permissions, but now I feel that MM is calling me.
I'd like to upgrade to Android 6.0.1 and root it, how do I do it?
Titanium backup app+data ==> Factory reset ==> Upgrade to 6.0.1 ==> root from 6.0.1 ==> Restore Titanium backup
Would it work? If not, any advice?
Furthermore, is there any full clear guide for rooting from Android 6.0.1?
Thank you,
LC
Flash a MM rom via TWRP
Most of the roms are prerooted, only search and choose the rom that you are looking
Search it in Nexus 5 Android Development thread
After flash the rom via TWRP, install Titanium Backup and restore your important data

Flash SuperSU 2.66+ (WIP) from TWRP if you want to root with systemless. No custom boot image needed.

Hello Everybody!
I am new to android and this rooting/custom recovery scene. I have rooted my Nexus 5 on 4.3, updated to 4.4 then rereooted, but that's it.
I have now done this:
Previously running stock android 4.4.2 with root/unlocked bootloader/TWRP/SuperSU working great
Wiped device (via TWRP bootloader)
Flashed custom rom (Omnirom, 4.4.2)
Installed SuperSU from gplay store
I opened SuperSU and it says I'm not rooted. What have I done wrong? And can you help me understand this process, because evidently the custom Rom (or the wipe beforehand?) broke my root. Can I get it back without flashing Omnirom again?
Thanks!
Adam
P.S. Anybody know a good Multiwindow Rom for Nexus5?
Download and flash the SuperSU.zip through TWRP from here
Then when you open SuperSU should work. You can apply this same procedure for most ROMs if they don't come pre-rooted like Omni.
Additionally, there is a setting which you should tick "Install SuperSU backup script" which means it should remain rooted after you flash an OmniROM delta update.
RAZR Maxx OTA .165. I rooted then install SS 3.65 and Titanium backup. My phone was slowing down so I decided to wipe using SS and recover to factory software. I now cannot figure out how to reroot so I can use Titanium to restore files. How do gain root back?
Also can you suggest a ROM for other slots...I was trying to install Liquid Smooth...but I didn't know if I had to load g-apps before or after ROM is installed.
Thanks Ken
Hi All,
Background:
Installed TWRP recovery to downgrade to KitKat from Android ver 5.0.2 / COS 12.0 YNg1TAS17L
( I guess the changes in lollipop made me to do so).
But after installing TWRP, for some reason or other I did nothing and now the issue is the OTA are not getting installed. From other similar thread I know that we can download the OTA zip and install through TWRP and I am not looking to get into that...as I am giving this device to my family.
Help Required:
1) Is there a way to uninstall TWRP and go back to stock recovery without losing any data?
( Is it as simple as flashing recovery image from the Stock ROM?)
2) Using the OnePlus tool kit can we flash the stock ROM which will also restore the stock recovery?
(If so is it possible to flash the latest ROM 5.1.1 or CM12.1)
I just need guidance here with steps on what will be the best and safe approach without frying up my device.
Please suggest

Numerous other threads on the same subject... I don't understand why you are not ready to flash the OTA through TWRP but you are through stock recovery... It's the same thing... Don't use toolkit, they are the ones, in 99% of the cases, that "fry" your phone... As soon as TWRP is installed no OTA will automatically, you will have to flash them manually.
I own a lenovo a6000 plus and i rooted it with kingoroot then used a script to change to supersu instead of the previous superuser. To take a backup of my rom after i rooted i flashed a cwm based custom recovery. Everything was running fine. Now i have a OTA update for android lollipop but it said your phone was modified. I unrooted from supersu and cleared the cache from custom recovery. Now i am able to download the update. But i read that after unroot OTA update can brick your phone and you need stock recovery to update via OTA. Please help.... Urgent....
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
Yes, you must be un-rooted and superuser/superSU/kinguser removed, you must have an unmodified system partition, this means uninstall all Xposed modules and the Xposed framework, remove theme packages that modify system in any way(including launchers and font modifying apps in some cases), you must also have stock recovery. Here is a link to the stock recovery for your device.

Post your questions about what you need to do in that thread.
I rooted my OnePlus when it first came out and had a custom kernel on it, and since then I haven't updated it. I want to update to CM13 but am not familiar with the process that needs to be done without losing any data or risk bricking my phone. I believe it has TWRP recovery and Franco kernel (I don't have the phone with me so can't verify).
Do I simply unlock the bootloader, backup data and then flash the new custom ROM? Would I be able to flash a custom ROM without losing root? I want to keep the root but go back to stock kernel.
Thanks
When you unlock your bootloader you'll lose all your data. However if your bootloader is already unlocked, proceed to flash this TWRP version (unofficial TWRP 2.8.6.0.6 by kumajaya): www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952609056
Other versions of TWRP have bugs not updating the firmware properly.
You'll lose your root but CM13 nightlies have their own root in the developer settings. Or you can flash SuperSU 2.67 on top after you flash the ROM if you prefer SuperSU.
Oh and make a TWRP nandroid backup first before you do anything. Backup the firmware partition too if it's not checked by default.
