Stock/Rooted Nougat? - Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does it exist? Is there a full Nougat download (not just the OTA) for the K1 available that is stock and rooted?

No, unfortunately that ROM is not rooted...just stock.

I assume you have TWRP since you need that to flash a ROM. So how hard is it to flash SuperSU immediately afterwards?

The flashing part is not hard at all. The "working" part after the flash is where I'm hitting a wall.
I am having an issue where flashing SuperSU in SYSTEM mode does not work with Nougat. My tablet stalls at the boot screen. It works in SYSTEMLESS mode but I do not want to use SYSTEMLESS as some of my apps (for example, Titanium) do not work properly. This is why I was looking for a stock rooted Nougat ROM.
Here is a link to my first post in the other thread I mentioned. Please chime in if you have any suggestions. I'm pretty much out of ideas.

I use CF-Autoroot for almost a year now with MM und N. You don't even need TWRP for it to work. And it always worked!

Can someone point me in the right direction?

You do a backup with Flashfire.
If you "brick" then just boot up in Download mode, flash the appropriate firmware, let it boot, go back to download mode, flash the engineering kernel again, re-root, re-install Flashfire then restore your backup. Pretty easy. Not as simple as having a recovery though. It's just pretty time consuming but I've done it dozens of times.

Thanks for the reply, but bear with me a bit I'm a bit confused coming from only using TWRP. I have flash fire installed lets say I do the backup and I'm bricked for whatever reason the phone does not boot up properly the next step would be to get in download mode flash the firmware via Odin I assume? * I don't really understand the flash the engineering Kernel part here what does that actually entail? omitting that step lets say I do boot up normally. At this stage I'm pretty much stock and would root again download flash fire and somehow my backup would be preserved there and can just flash that back up?
Again excuse my ignorance , and thanks for replying

You're making it sound complicated and it really isn't.
Brick?
Go back to stock with Odin
Re-root as before
Restore backup with Flashfire.

Can someone verify this guide claims you can install TWRP on SM-G935T http://www.stupdroid.com/2017/03/root-galaxy-s7-edge-nougat.html

That site is full of crap articles they steal from elsewhere and change a few lines of the articles. Take a lot of what they claim with a grain of salt.
The article you listed is meant for the Chinese 930 and 935, attempting it on an American 930/935 will result in a soft brick and loss of data.
I am on mobile, or I would link the original post from here on XDA stupdroid stole, stating clearly you cannot load it onto an American phone.

You need to be on firmware B182+ (which you are)
You need to have twrp 3.1.0+
You need to flash stock boot image before Magisk.
You can get stock boot either from rom zip (boot.img) or stock firmware (update.app) and extract boot using Huawei Update extractor. Then flash boot image manually.

How to root systemless Magisk (5.1 lollipop custom rom)

I keep reading posts that tell me to flash Magisk using custom recovery but my phone says 'update from external storage is disabled' so that's a no go.. And I can't use Odin because it's a ZIP file, not MD5, .TAR, SMD. etc. What else can I do? I've only ever managed to root my phone once and that was using CF AUTO Root which can be flashed by Odin.

Please tell us the specific phone model and rom. Magisk need to be flashed (installed) using a custom recovery e.g. TWRP. TWRP can be flashed using Odin even if the device isn't actually rooted.

My phone model is Samsung S5 Neo and I'm running 5.1 custom ROM. So, what you're saying is, I can flash TWRP using Odin and that will become my default recovery when I press home, volume up and the power button?

That must be a modified stock rom. TWRP will allow you to install any kind of rom without any restrictions.

Sweet! Thanks for the insight. This is what happens when you're a total noob. I find all this rooting and custom ROM larky confusing. I always stumble into issues along the way. So, install TWRP on my laptop and that will have the correct file type to be flashed by Odin, and then use TWRP to flash Magisk.. anything else or will I have any other problems? Don't want to clumsily stumble into a landmine.

What the exact phone model? SM-xxxx
You can download TWRP as .tar.md5 and flash it using Odin.
Best case is to install Magisk on a fresh installation without root/exposed framework already installed.

just a hint: there is already an official Marshmallow 6.0.1 release for you device and you probably should look out a newer rom.

Why would you suggest that? In case I reach a point where apps are no longer compatible with my outdated software? Thanks, I might do that. I have stuck with 5.1 simply because I'm preferring it and also Marshmallow have made it harder to bypass security and root the device. I'm thinking it might not be safe now that I know this is a modded ROM, so I should probably look for an official one.
Can I make a Nandroid backup with TWRP? That sounds like it could be useful for any hiccups.

Marshmallow is already fully supported and you will be able to get full control to anything you like. Usually you can trust roms you get at the XDA forum as its a pretty active community and harmfull users would be banned real quickly. The only point is that modded stock rom or custom roms like LineageOS and derivates may not be stable and cause functionality issues.
So I've used this forum to find TWRP for my device https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...official-experimental-twrp-galaxy-s5-t3293379, I'm not sure how to 'Run flash-recovery.sh' because, as I mentioned, it won't let me flash from my SD card.. Any help would be appreciated!
UPDATE: Managed to get TWRP as my custom recovery. Thanks so much for your help! I genuinely had no idea you could flash TWRP onto your phone! I was using the app which is hopeless. Most forums I've found say 'boot in recovery' which is quite unclear if you're not familiar with that..
Can I flash Nougat update onto my S5 Neo? It's originally not supported, that's the only reason I'm asking..
Can I still root with Magisk on that operating system as well and restore from Nandroid backup?

My boot.img provided in repository thread is for BLN-L21C432B365 build, as listed in OP and in my post there; what's your build number? An unmatching build could be the cause of this. For example, recovery for BLN-L21C432B365, differs from BLL-L21C130B365 - the B365 at the end is equal, but the build variant is different and so incompatible

why would you install boot.img from some site that may or may not be for our phone.
you could just reinstall stock boot or choose custom kernel from the forms here and get something that works like

if the image is the same on 5.1.7 to 5.1.9 ? That's the only thing that my novice mind can thing the problem is?
I don't really want a custom kernel..I keep things stock, just root for a few apps adaway, TI backup...... But thanks!

Try a newer version of twrp if you can, via fastboot first and then flash (like you did before)

This phone does not work like the 5T or other phones without A/B partitions. There is a lot of bad advice out there. You're better off sticking with the guides posted here.

I don't really understand the a/b partitions? I know its for seamless updates, but don't really understand. Advice here is the best for sure.
Max Lee's method works but he had an outdated boot.img ...once I got the correct one for 5.1.9 all went well...twrp, magisk...
plus and I hate to say this..all I have now is a Macbook and he had directions for that...

All you need to know about A/B is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/guide-noobs-guide-to-b-partitions-op6-t3816123
This phone is really not that hard to mod, even with a MacBook. I've used Macs for years for rooting. It's just a matter of knowing how to use Terminal . . . that's it.
why are you flashing the boot img?...
Because the boot.img I originally use wasn't for 5.1.9..
I flashed the correct one and all good...

The reason we ask about boot.Img is b/c flashing magisk would have patched your boot.img. The only reason for flashing boot is for custom kernels.

I'm not sure... But when I installed the boot.img for 5.1.9 then Magisk 16.4 it fixed the bootloop

Everyone else here know that the reason for the boot loop is b/c you flashed an older boot.img then the system was expecting. What we are trying to say is if you did not flash that boot.img in the first place, This problem never would have happened.
