[q] nexus root tool kit issue

Hay guys, I'm facing this problem with Nexus root tool kit, my fastboot status is unlocked but as I check drivers check it restart the phone in fastmod and get this error.
Do I have to install SDK? Any solution???

Phone booted or in bootloader?.. Debugging enabled? OEM usb cable? Propper drivers installed?.. Tried changing usb ports?

Yes phone booted in bootloader it say FAST BOOT & STATUS UNLOCKED, I can't enter in recoverymod, as I enter in recovery mod I get dead android with red ! mark.
When I purchased this phone (a few days back) I had Gingerbread, I updated it n due to low signals (I think) ICS installed properly but when it came to installing applications it got hanged, now I can't run applications properly as it reboot if I try to open any application.
I again try to update it from wifi from ICS 4.0.4 to JB 4.1 ( As new update was available) but after complete download of JB when it started to installing I got that dead android sign with RED ! mark.
Do you have any idea what happened wrong?

You don't have a recovery and need to flash one using the toolkit..
1. DOWNLOAD CUSTOM RECOVERY... 2. OPEN TOOLKIT.. ADVANCED MENU/BOOT RECOVERY (this is only temporary) 3. CHANGE SCREEN SETTINGS TO ZERO (or the screen will go black and it's a pain) 4. MOUNT USB... 5. COPY RECOVERY ZIP FROM COMPUTER TO PHONE.. 6. USE RECOVERY TO INSTALL FROM SD / FLASH THE RECOVERY YOU COPIED.. 7. ENJOY YOUR CUSTOM RECOVERY..

Please guide me a little bit details as I'm new user of Nexus S & Thanks in advance..
You said install custom recovery right? now I have downloaded 2 files for Clockworkmod recovery 6.x.x.x. one is in .ZIP format & other is in .img format. Now the question is
1). Do I have to flash recovery by using this advance option of Nexus Root Tool Kit by clicking on FLASH PERMANENT & then clicking on recovery & then giving the path of CMW 6.x.x.x.IMG and then after giving the path clicking on ROOT & checking the "And also flash custom recovery" option?
2). Can I install .ZIP file CWM 6.x.x.x.ZIP by just putting it into the SD card of Nexus S, turning the phone on into RECOVERY mode and the selecting INSTALL .ZIP from SD card (Something like this) then locating CWM 6.x.x.x.ZIP & it will install it automatically?
I installed CWM recovery in my Samsung Galaxy Gio a year back & then installed Cyanogenmod in that phone but I have forgot the procedure but I think I did it like I entered into recovery mode by pressing some buttons & then install zip from SD (I think I did like this but not sure).
P.S: I can enter into recovery when I see DEAD ANDROID with RED ! then I press volume up + power button 2 times then it shows me stock recovery.
One last thing to ask, you said CHANGE SCREEN SETTING TO ZERO? What does it means? Screen setting of Laptop or Mobile (Brightness or what?)
Thank you very much for your support :highfive:

Option 2.. flash recovery zip... The screen setting is in the temporary recovery.. If it times out the screen will go black and you will have to use the Toolkit to reboot your phone.. If you use the recovery in my signature, it has usb mounting support.. other CWM's may not..

One more question just to conform something, can I use this Philz Touch 5.06.1 (Latest) on my STOCK ROM? I'm having ICS 4.0.4 build number IMM76D, can I flash this recovery? I have remember the old days when I flashed CWM in my Samsung Galaxy Gio, they had 4 types of CWM. One was for some RAW disk format, another was for EXT4 (Something like that).
Can I install it for I.C.S 4.0.4? Do I have to root my Nexus S I9023 after that or is it already rooted? that UNLOCK means my phone is rooted? What about the Super user application? DO I have to install in separately? Can I install Cyanogenmod after install this recovery or should I have to install Super user before installing Cyanogenmod? I have remember when I install Cyanogenmod on my Galaxy Gio, the Super User was already there..
Lots of questions for you again but these are just to conform that I'm leading towards right direction, please answer so that I must start flashing Philz Touch 5.06.1.
Thanks in advance :highfive:

1. YES
2. NO, unlocked is not rooted and you'll need a super user.. Most new (4.2.2) custom's have this pre-installed.. otherwise use a .zip or the recovery may have it..??
3. Click the link at the bottom of my signature.. There is a chart for roms.. have a look before you flash..

did you try to wipe/cache or do a factory reset then reboot. Question - Is this your first time ever rooting any android device? do you know how to use adb? since you can simply push the Su zip file over to your device from recovery

now if thats all you did I would wipe cache and try and restart. ADB tutorials are all over

Either use the Advanced Reboot options in the power menu or turn your phone off and hold the volume down+power button till it vibrates. ±15 seconds and you are in your recovery.

How to root S6: SM-G925W8. Android 7.0?

How to root S6: SM-G925W8. Android 7.0.??????
Hi, i tried to root my phone, but then was bricked. I fix it, installing the firmware.
How i do it? I download the wrong twrp! Can anyone give me the correct one? And a guide after that. I dont want to break my phone. Thaaaanks. Regards.

-Put your phone in download mode and flash twrp-3.1.1-0-zeroltecan.img.tar with odin , after succeeded, the phone will restart, quickly press and hold volume +, power & home button go to TWRP, if you didn't do it fast enought,
it will return back to stock android recovery, you have to start this step again to have TWRP recovery.
-Next boot into TWRP and flash SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip or Magisk 14 (you might need to install Magisk manager manually), reboot phone and you will have root.

Are you able to boot into recovery? If so, try wiping the cache and dalvik memory inside TWRP.
If that does not work, flash a ROM (Custom or Stock) and that should fix everything. Remember to download the correct files for your phone or you will make things worse.

9.1.0.252 (C432E7R1P8) root does not work

Hello,
I was using Magisk wihtout any issue until last update of my Mate 9. Now software version is 9.1.0.252 (C432E7R1P8) and as after every upgrade I re-patch my recovery_ramdis.img and patch from fastboot. In order to boot with root, I used recovery mode and it entered in system with root privileges. After the last update I did the same but recovery mode enters in recovery mode and system shows as non-rooted.
Please help, how to root my Mate 9?

hi, you must install busybox from magisk modules. But huawei changed file system to erofs. Because of some folders only read. We cant delete and change anything from system anymore.
And adaway is not working.
i downgraded to b191.

Magisk does not change anything in system folder. Magisk is not enabled therefore I cannot install busybox. In Emui9 there was a workaround but seems it doesn't work anymore.

You must press to volume up and power buttons when opening for magisk enabling.

Huawei disabled booting to Recovery directly using Vol up and power, you end up in eRecovery instead. Easiest way is to flash magisk patched from fastboot, boot phone, enable USB Debugging in dev options (if you haven't already), and use adb to reboot. Command is:
adb reboot recovery
You can also flash patched image, boot to eRecovery and select the Wipe/Factory reset option, this will boot to recovery which is now Magisk so it'll boot to system with magisk. (Be careful though as the wipe command will still be there, so if you flash back recovery and boot to it your phone will automatically wipe. You can remove the file /cache/recovery/command to prevent this)

Thank you for information. So we returned back to "tethered jailbreak" times with Apple Is there any workaround for this or so far the only solution? Wipe data option is quite unsafe for me, easy to forget and after firmware update to have a wiped device.

It will loop to recovery after you boot to magisk the first time, so each normal reboot will lead to Magisk. You can force eRecovery/normal boot if you plug in USB and boot holding vol up.

It will loop to recovery if battery dies or if I shut down the phone and boot again or it will lead to non Magisk environment?

this file is for root?

Hi guys, so i have an untouched p10 on the version above, to install magisk is it as easy as asking one of you for the RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img (not yet in the firmware database) and patch it if it hasnt using pc then also on the pc rebooting to recovery and done? Also has restart and flat battery been tested? I read above that you must use shutdown
Its a vtr-l29 if it makes a difference
