You at least have to be unlocked and rooted. You're obviously not rooted, yet.

you see i got the bootloader unlocked but still have s-on and the other thread says i can still flash custom rom with s-on still on but you still need to flash cwm on it and its not letting me

Have you pushed Superuser from a PC to the phone via USB? After that you can load CWM from ROM Manager.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

Just being unlocked is not the same as being rooted. You need to be Unlocked AND rooted to install CWM through Root Manager. You're only half of that.

nope im having trouble doing that i need help on that part

With an unlocked bootloader I simply copy the fastboot and adb files, as well as whatever recovery image I want to flash and push the recovery via fastboot... however if you aren't confident in your skills with the command prompt or fastboot there is always the all-in-one toolkit for the MT4GS that can be downloaded from its own thread in the dev forums (I don't have the link handy but it seemed to work for me on my sister's mt4gs).

I'm having trouble flashing CWM from the market as well. I've rooted (or at least I think I have) via Hasooon2000's tool and the superuser icon shows up in my drawer but when I try to run it I'm never prompted with the usual permission request, just the permission error that OP posted. I am also unable to install anything like Busybox or ROM Toolbox. It seems like the root just wasn't properly set up but none of the methods I've found actually work. I have tried to redo the rooting process, but to no avail.
I flashed CWM from Hasoon200's tool too, and can boot into it, however when I try to take a backup it just goes to a screen with the CWM logo in it and doesn't do anything. I have to pull the battery to get it to reboot.
Never had this much trouble with rooting or flashing a recovery before, but if anyone can help I'd appreciate it.

I'd say do a flash of CWM via adb. Then install Superuser through CWM using a zipped Superuser. Worked flawlessly for me.

Are you using the trackpad to select things in recovery? All of my other phones used power while in recovery to select things but the doubleshot uses trackpad to select
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk 2

I'm of two different schools of thought here - my first thought is bad download of CWM... Honestly I'd just read up on fastboot flashing the recovery image and do that to ensure a good root. However as noted above the trackpad select did throw me off at first.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA

OK, it looks like I don't actually have S-Off and I've got the newer Hboot which, from what I can tell, prevents me from using this method and the only two ways to do this seem to involve either doing some crazy stuff with wires or flashing stuff without taking a backup first. Both of these methods make me very nervous, especially since as far as I can tell there is no way to use anything like Odin or RSD Lite with this phone to restore it in case something gets messed up.
If anyone has a way I can take a backup before flashing a ROM or, better yet, has a way to restore the phone completely in case something goes awry that would be awesome.

Update: Yeah, looks like it was the trackpad thing preventing me from doing this properly. Totally bizarre considering the fact that I was able to select things just fine using the volume buttons but when I hit power (which selects on most devices), it didn't work right.
Thanks for helping me get past this hurdle everyone! Hopefully I can figure out how to get s-off.
Edit: Update - I flashed a ROM that already had root and now that works too. Good enough for now, I'll wait for a less scarey method to get S-off. I'm not about to start messing around with wires.

How to upgrade to 5.0.1 by OTA/ZIP?

Installed on my nexus LOLIPOP version through ADB / Fastboot.
How should I do now to upgrade to 5.0.1?

Do the same with the 5.0.1 image.

You can With adb sideload update ota manually without lose data

Here's how to upgrade to 5.0.1 on rooted Nexus 5
N/A

Err...
Why are you... Original question has been addressed already.
Yeah. I'm sure. Please stop suggesting toolkits to people.

Edward.Bernard said:
This is an easy way to upgrade to 5.0.1 without losing any data, though you will lose custom recovery and root. But those are easy to recover and are included here...
Setting up
You'll need a Windows PC, Nexus Root Toolkit software (WugFresh), and Flashify app (or similar)
Actually, the NRT software is not needed, but it makes the process stupidly easy. You can also do this by fastboot over ADB
Be sure to perform a full nandroid backup, just in case, though you shouldn't need it.
And absolutely backup your custom recovery using Flashify (or whatever you use)
Factory images
Forget about the OTA update and go to the Google Developers site for the factory images you want
Download the file to your PC, then unzip it and any zipped files contained within it (it's like one of those Russian dolls)
Now find the .img files for "boot," "bootloader." "radio," and "system." Move them into a new folder that you can easily find.
There are other image files, but you don't want those, because they'll over-write your data.
Flashing using Nexus Root Toolkit
Open NRT and be sure that you select your CURRENT model and build in the upper left-hand corner.
Under Advanced Utilities, click Launch
Under Fastboot Flash, click Boot [Kernel], then browse for you boot.img file and click Open.
Let NRT do the rest.
Repeat this Fastboot Flash process for Bootloader, Radio, and System in that order.
After you flash the system image, your Nexus will reboot and complete the update.
Re-root
In the process, you've lost root so reboot your phone back into bootloader
In the NRT main menu, change your model and build in the upper left-hand corner to reflect 5.0.1
The software will need to restart and update.
Now, under the Root heading, click Root
When your phone reboots, your superuser will request to be updated. Allow it, and reboot.
Now open Flashify, flash your custom recovery, and reboot.
You're done!

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh Learn how to use adb and fastboot yourself and teach this to inexperienced users.

Incredibly complex solutions.......!
Easier just return to stock flash via OTA and reroot... I think this is the easiest method (despite for me is still a little bit ****ty) to go with Android latest updates
Don't like the Google Dev imaging and flashing option

I dont know if this ota zip will work but you can try?, assuming you dont want to lose your data by going with googles images

How is that the easiest solution?
Flash stock, then ota? Why not just flash 5.0.1 stock and NOT ota?

I believe that is what he meant, just picked the wrong words. He meant 5.0.1 image when he used the term OTA.

Its hard on a forum where punctuation isn't used often. I envisage that there should be a comma between "stock" and "flash". True, it could also be a full stop missing.
That said, I've seen many threads where people just say flash stock then ota so I've assumed this is the same..

With the NRT you just go back flashing to stock bootloader and then you can upgrade via OTA no-pain. After that you can reinstall back twrp (for example) and re-root device. No downloads required from external sources.
If you have to flash you have to go and pick the img and after that re-root. For me is a pain looking for the flash img every version! And worst part having to reboot for each image... boot, radio, system...
But I suppose it is a matter of preferences.

PD: BTW 5.0.1 only have boot and system for flashing?

Still though... Toolkits are bad. Use them at your peril and if you screw up, we're not wasting our time teaching the basics to fix it, that you would know if you did it properly the first time.
And reboot each time? What???
...and looking for image every time? Same place every time mate

You shan't need a toolkit. For one, Google themselves have put instructions on how to flash a factory image directly. And again, you shan't use toolkits.
And you DO NOT reboot for every image. You flash all of them at once, then you reboot.
Anyway this thread has degenerated to, plain and simply, diarrhea.

Temp Root Question

Sorry if this question does not belong here, I'm a noob. A few days ago I was trying some things with the sunshine free apk and after a few minutes I got a message that said "congratulations now you have temp root", then I installed TWRP through google play, rebooted into recovery and it worked. At that time I did not try to install a Custom Rom through this method because I wasn't sure about it, my question is Can I install a custom rom doing with this method? (like the google play edition sensified rom)

I'm not really sure what to tell you. If you managed to install TWRP without getting S-Off and an unlocked bootloader (never heard of this) I would think you could flash a rom. However, I don't know if it would work for you or not. If the rom comes with a boot.img file, it would almost certainly fail to flash that part of the rom. You would need an unlocked bootloader for that to work. If the system part of the rom did flash, it might be nothing but headaches if it relied on the boot.img. I'm not even sure if the system would flash without an unlocked bootloader. My guess is probably but I think you might be in for a world of headaches if you do it. I would recommend just running sunshine and paying the piper . Maybe somebody else more knowledgeable than me can answer and tell you for sure. I'd tread lightly on this one if I were you. I just don't know for sure. All I know is that boot.img isn't going to succeed.

I suspect you haven't accomplished as much as it sounds. I don't believe you can flash a custom recovery with s-on and a locked bootloader. When you ran sunshine, did you go all the way and pay for it or did you stop after gaining temp root? Temp root may allow something like the TWRP app (different from the actual TWRP recovery) to think it's done it's thing without the flash actually completing. When you say "it worked" do you mean you booted all the way into TWRP recovery?

Yep, I installed the app from google play and then it asked me if I wanted to reboot into recovery so I did it. I was able to use TWRP but I didn't try anything because I wasn't sure.

But you're sure that you still have s-on and a locked bootloader? What happens if you turn off the phone and then enter the bootloader (volume up + power) and enter recovery from there? Does it take you to TWRP or stock recovery.

Ok, but if you enter recovery from hboot as in your picture do you actually go into twrp? I wonder if either the TWRP app (with temp root) was somehow able to boot twrp instead of flashing it to the recovery partition and booting to recovery or perhaps some previous owner flashed a spoofed hboot and you actually do have an unlocked bootloader but don't know it. Did you buy the phone new with this being the first time you've tinkered with it?

I went to the States a month ago and I bought it pre-owned in Gamestop, so maybe as you said it is modified. And answering about the TWRP I tried to boot into recovery yesterday but I had no success (I got to the default android recovery).
Summing up I'll just buy the full version of the sunshine app and do this thing in the proper way, thank you for your help and time.

Why not verify first you are truly s-on with a fastboot getvar all
That way we can make sure someone didn't flash a faux hboot.

Sorry for the delay. I checked it with fastboot getvar all and it is stock, there's nothing wrong with it. S-ON and locked bootloader.

S7 International g930f - Cant install Stock Boot Image after Frp Unlock & More

Hey Xda,
I have an S7 International G930f and the stock boot image wont flash in odin without bootloop, after frp unlock. So basically ive flashed the G930F(ENGroot) file, but the second part, flashing the boot img isnt flashing without bootloop.
So yeah- my phone is acting weird, im surprised it even works.
Running Stock Rooted 6.0.1 with TWRP
I've rooted/recoveried many a Samsung, but all this Dmverity, FRP unlock, these newer protocols have me confused.
I've got OEM unlock ON which is still a tad new to me-coming from S5. Unknown Sources Enabled. FRP Lock shows as OFF.
I've followed an FRP unlock guide-XDA here but the boot image wont take. Tried many times. Maybe its my July 1st Security patch?
Can someone tell me what i need to do to get this phone to where it is FRP unlocked, dmverity gone,keep root/recovery and update it?
p.s. I'm getting tons of bugs, random reboots, and WiFi passwords aren't saved on reboot. Plz help!
Thank you!

Thanks for the reply. If you are referring to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/recovery-official-twrp-herolte-t3333770 thats what i followed.
But i did have some confusion about this section below from said thread. Im not sure what OP means by "if you only want a bootable system partition". Of course i would like this to be bootable, AND i would like to install SuperSU.
Its worded strange. Ok lets assume i did this incorrectly. Would you suggest i start over, factory wipe, then move forward with that threads directions?
If twrp and super su are already installed and working, but i dont have the right boot.img flashed, should i start all over or start somewhere in particular?
10. If you want to be rooted with SuperSU:
Download the latest SuperSU by Chainfire.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer the SuperSU zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
You will need an external SDcard for this method, if you don't have one you will have to use adb sideload to install SuperSU.
If you only want a bootable system partition:
Download the latest dm-verity and force encryption disabler zip.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer the no-verity-opt-encrypt zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
Note: This does not disable the forced encryption on Bxxx firmware, only Axxx firmware due to a change in vold by Samsung.

"if you only want a bootable system partition" means if you don't want to flash SuperSU, but want your phone to boot correctly with TWRP installed, if you don't follow that step, regardless of SuperSU, your phone is a soft brick
Flash TWRP
Wipe Data (Yep, to disable encryption, so backup first)
Flash DM-Verity~zip
Flash Super-SU.zip
Reboot

Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite got messed up
Hi there!
I have just received my new Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite phone and wanted to pass all of my data from my old phone to it in a way that it was required to be rooted.
KingRoot didn't work on this new phone, so I unlocked bootloader and tried to install TWRP recovery on my phone.
Installing to the recovery partition did not work. I searched the error it gave me and found a thread saying that flashing it to the boot partition worked for them. So I did. Next thing that happened is that my phone did not boot into the OS (operating system) ever again. It only booted TWRP.
I have since been able to remove TWRP (though I made a back up of it) but the phone still stays on just the loading part before going to the OS.
I have since been able to get back the fastboot and stock recovery, but the phone will not start into the OS anymore.
How can I fix this?
I have been searching for ways to restore my android to the 8.1 Oreo version that it was.
Can I do it with this Tool All In One? Please help! Thank you in advance!! Much appreciated!!

hello
i have unlocked bootloader and wait for TWRP and want to root my phone.
Can I flash TWRP and root with this tool easy? And will I lost all data if do that?

Twrp does not have good results for most people.

With this method I will lost all data on my phone and I do not want to setup phone 1 more time. Twice was just enough
I know that already but thank you anyway

If your bootloader is unlocked, you should not lose any data just installing magisk

Yes...my fault. My BL is unlocked already.
But I posted in that thread...because of some reason does not work. But this is not thread about it
Thanks for help

So...Installed TWRP but does not recognize anything in internal storage. Not recognize SD card.
When boot again to TWRP goes to "something"...some kind of empty stock recovery with android logo and nothing more.

Because your not supposed to install the twrp image just boot from it and if you do install it then you have to flash the original boot image for which ever 8.1 update your on to get rid of it.
This is explained on the team win page for daisy wish i had read that first after re flashing my os twice and boot image once trying to install this am just using the phone as is for now until i get the urge to try again

oops sorry i should check what thread this is before trying to answer a question i blame alcohol .
Thing is there are posts out on the net that advices people with the a2 lite to install the twrp image to their inactive slot and not to just boot it and that's where things seem to start going wrong.
This has absolutely nothing to do with this tool and sorry i just dived in here and confused people.
maybe some kind passing mod will get rid of the post apologies again
