[Q] Installed omni ROM and it says I don't have root.

So I used the CF Auto root to root my nexus 5. I have installed the omni rom and I am told I don't have root or that I need to install superuser, which i tried to do without success. What do I do? The prompt comes up when launching root apps

Oh. Lol I didn't see that

You could also switch to the latest TWRP and it will ask if you want to root before leaving your recovery .

[ROOT] Universal root method for all variants.

hey guys, this is just a package made with my "Rickys Rom Kitchen", will root any android device with a working custom recovery!
Note: all i did was make this universal and make it a flashable zip.
So, you know the drill, your warranty is now viod, flash at your own risk blah blah.
How to root?
1. Flash philztouch recovery or any supported recovery for your device with odin - INSTRUCTIONS AND DOWNLOAD HERE
2. Make a nandroid backup from within philztouch recovery
3. Flash my universal S5 rootkit INSIDE PHILZTOUCH recovery - DOWNLOAD FROM HERE(PhilzTouch)
4. (OPTIONAL) install busybox from playstore and download my Samsung Tool app and backup EFS! - DOWNLOAD HERE
Thats all.

im pretty sure philztouch works on any variant?

Any word on sim unlock ?!

regarding KNOX
sorry, don't want to turn this thread into a discussion, but it feels appropriate to ask here;
once Knox is tripped, can it be re-instated?
I don't mean reducing the counter back from 0x1 to 0x0, erasing all evidence of a rooting,
rather,just allowing the device back to a secure state.

Even SM-g900a?
So this universal root method will also work on the AT&T varient?
Samsung galaxy S5 SM-g900a?
can someone confirm this working?

Will this work under Canadian's carrier?

Failure on AT&T
I have tried multiple versions of ODIN and I am unable to flash this recovery.

Have you tried to push it through adb? Sometimes that method works when Odin fails

I have never done a push...I don't really know what to do but if someone told me then I know I could do it. I am downloading the SDK right now and will install it. I just need some help knowing what to do to get it done.

You need to uninstall Xposed first, before upgrading. Refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/info-nexus-5-ota-help-desk-t2523217

Just download the full rooted stock ROM in android development and flash it without wipe from recovery.
It's actually fewer steps anyway.
OTA = revert system changes, boot recovery, flash, re-flash recovery, re-root
Rooted stock = boot recovery, flash
No brainer really. Flashing an OTA if rooted is a fool's errand

Nope. It's just flashing an entire, rooted ROM. You will have to install the Xposed framework again but the Xposed installer, all Xposed modules and all their data will remain intact

Honestly idk. Have you tried towel root on 4.4.4?

Towelroot didn't work on 4.4.4. Just reflashed 4.4.2 and towelroot is now working again. I guess I will just wait for Lolipop before I trip knox!

I did CF root that was done on NE5. Everything went fine for me. Just to try, I flashed the NE5 4-1 boot. But it hung on Sprint screen. Ran my backup and I'm good. Just have to manually go to rrecovery. No worries. Though, not concerned about knox.

As far as I understand CF Auto Root will work on this. Yes, it trips Knox... but it does give root.

I'm on Nk4. Will cf auto root work?

Yes ,i just root my with cf root

[ROOT][INFO][MARSHMALLOW] How to Root 6.0 Easily + Systemless [TESTED]

Hello guys,
Old guide
Here I'm sharing a little info about rooting marshmallow for those who don't know. Do not flash BETA-SuperSU-v2.64-20151220185127.zip it's giving lots of force closes. Note: I'm using Indian version firmware.
Steps:
Install 6.0 OTA
Install TWRP recovery from here
Download BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip from this thread #3
Flash it via TWRP
When rebooting TWRP will ask you to install supersu. do not install it.

Systemless Rooting with SuperSU
follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/root-systemless-rooting-supersu-2-74-2-t3405772

Thanks. I just installed MM and then the bad 2.64 SuperSU after setting everything back up. Pain in the butt. Kind of makes me regret rooting it in the first place..

I have installed Marshmallow and rooted with 2.64. No one FC...

I have 2.64 too and no FC.

Just decided to install 2.64 after making a nandroid backup, in case anything went wrong. I'm glad to see that it's working fine for me, no FC.

The guide is the same as Chainfire talks about his SuperSU.
Its no guide only for MXP

Download any cleaner app and give root permission to that. After that delete those apps.

AnoopKumar you saved our lives by giving the last simple solution of a working SuperSU.
I tried the latest 2.65, 64, and was roaming around the forums for solution and you provided one! Thanks a lot brother!
FC's are killing me on .64, on .65 the phone doesn't go past the bootloader

Can I completely unroot after rooting with this method (without factory reset of course)
