Hi guys,
I have a question for u. If I have rooted my N5 in the past and now I went back to stock, is it possible to check it?
And is it a reason to cancel my warranty?
If you returned to stock properly, no it cannot be traced.
Google won't reject warranty by apparently LG might

Did you reset the tamper flag? That's the only way Google/LG would know you modded.

Is it a way to reset temper flag without working screen? I watched this video - How to Unbrick or Unroot the Nexus 5 (incl. Tamper Flag Reset) on YT and I can't flash cwm-Nexus.BootUnlocker.zip because I don't have working screen and TWRP isn't help for me. Is there any other way to install cwm-Nexus.BootUnlocker.zip without TWRP?

If you're rooted and you have a video out, you can use BootUnlocker from play

I am not rooted, but I can get root via NRT. But I don't want to unlock my bootloader, only to reset temper flag.

OK, I know now, but I didn't in the past.
Will it work if I simply flash cwm-Nexus.BootUnlock.zip via fastboot using "fastboot flash cwm-Nexus.BootUnlock.zip"?

No. You cannot fastboot flash zips. You can either have root and use an application to do it, or you can have a custom recovery and flash a zip. These are the only 2 ways and both involve you needing video/ screen to do it. If it is not done, there is nothing you can do.

Thanks guys. You're awesome!
I hope LG won't check Temper flag. Rest of my phone is stock.
One more question. If I've flashed all stock files, my recovery is stock too? There was recovery.img file, but I want to be sure. And if not - Does the custom recovery void warranty?
Yes it does.
Hi,
I found around the web that is possible root the Nexus 5 without losing file over KitKat, there is a way also with lollipop??
Thanks!
Rooting doesn't cause you to lose data. Unlocking your boot loader does...
I know, but there is a way to avoid the lose of data??

Not if you have a locked bootloader, no. Use helium backup and copy your sdcard to computer
What rooting method you guys recommend,Chainfire or wugfresh?

I never recommend toolkits, so out of those two, chainfire. (Wugfresh is a toolkit)
However that said, I would recommend unlocking bootloader, fastboot flashing recovery then flashing supersu from recovery. That way you know what you're doing.

This. Just back up your entire phone (including the sdcard folder) so you are sure you won't lose anything.
I did as I have suggested, all right !! Xposed sin that still does not support Lollipop ..

HI!
Planing on unlocking the bootloader and wonder what data will be wiped.
Will i still have recovery and root after the unlock?
Thanks!
Out of curiosity why would you want to unlock your bootloader AFTER you've gotten root? I can't think of a single benefit and you lose all the DRM stuff on the phone.

Yes, you'll keep both recovery and root because they are in system partition.
Data partition, including internal SD card will be wiped

I'm not rooted the device is locked with a password
I just have a way to bypass the password with a custom recovery mode but the thing is if I will flash now TWRP or CWM
I will have to unlock the bootloader and I don't want to do it ,
so what I want to do is just to flash somehow the recovery mode without unlocking the bootloader
and also there is anyway to check the android version ?

Well, if you only want to bypass password you don't need to root or unlock your bootloader. Try to perform software repair via xperia companion. It should reset your phone by reinstalling software and wiping data.

My problem is with wiping the data , I don't want to wipe the data haha ,
thats the problem the data is important for me .
- If I can flash a custom recovery without unlocking the bootloader - it will be perfect because unlocking will earse all my data

Hmm, the only way to flash custom recovery without unlocking the bootloader is to downgrade to Kitkat, get root and install recovery, but the problem is downgrading requires to wipe data

I think that Z3 doesn't even have a recovery partition.

There are 2 methots to install custom recovery:
1.(Best one) Downgrading to kitkat getting root and then recovery, but here's the problem: Downgrading requires to wipe data, which you don't want to do. So this isn't an option.
2. Unlocking the bootloader and flashing recovery. Problem: unlocking wipes your data and you lose DRM keys, so also not an option.
Sorry but I can't think of anything more.
or try this one ... it's for locked/unlocked bootloader i tested it on my T2 Ultra and it works

It's not a flashable zip .-.
-your phone must be rooted and usb debugging enabled.
-extract the zip file "Z3-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26-RELEASE.combined.zip" to desktop or any other location on your PC/Laptop.
-run executable file "install.exe" and connect your phone... if you have SuperSu press 1 and enter.
now you have dual recovery mode
here's the main thread of dual recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
Unfortunately the only available options are these, all this is to protect your data and make them inaccessible to the thief if you get your phone stolen.
If you've forgot the password/pin/pattern of the lock screen, just perform a factory reset, it will wipe the data partition (apps and their data) but it won't touch your personal files such as music and photos

yeah, you need to unlock the screen lock to give adb shell root rights :\
The user have been asking similar questions for other devices in the past. I suspect that the user may have stolen the phone and I do not think it's a good idea to provide further assistance to this user, as making it easier to use a possibly stolen phone is no good. If OP is any legit, he would know that he can restore the password using his Google account, and losing the password and recovery for 2 high-end devices at the same time is just fishy.. Just my 2 cents guys.

I want to root the Honor 8 for some apps such adaway etc.
For this, i need to unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP and then supersu2.X.zip. Thats clear and i understand.
But after rooting the phone, can we relock the phone to get rid of the warning message while booting up?
Anyone knows? Is there anyway?

i think i couldnt explain what i wanted to say.
I am now on EMUI 4.1 , model: frd-l19 and i want to ROOT it. For doing this, i need to unlock to bootloader and flash TWRP etc.
My question is, after ROOTING the phone, i want ROOT to stay in the phone but relock the bootloader via adb commands or another way, so i wont be seeing that first message in the boot. So basicly i want a rooted phone with locked bootloader. Is this possible? If i flash the whole firmare after root, wont the root be gone?
Thanks in advance
