Hey guys, so first I rooted my phone using this method:
Ugh it won't let me use the outside link. basically its the doroot batch file for sdk/adb
Basically installed the android sdk stuff and drivers and then used the doroot batch file. That came back as okay, and I have the superuser permissions app on my phone now.
But then I tried to deodex the phone to start putting themes on there. When i get to the part where i go into the adb shell and try to use 'su' it says permission denied. So I figured the root had failed, or something was messed up. Then I tried to use this method to root:
(DroidX root. the one click program with root me and unroot me.)
That hasn't been successful. The phone disconnects from the computer for some reason (the laptop gives me the disconnected hardware sound during the install, and the install never finishes.)
So I tried Z4root. I downloaded it online, and put it on the phone, and installed it. It gives me the 'unroot' option, so it thinks my phone is rooted, but then it says usb debugging must be enabled. It says it must be enabled for every option i can choose (temp or permanant root.) The thing is, it is enabled!
I've tried to run titanium backup to check if I have root access on the phone, and that app says I don't.
What do I do? I'm totally stumped, and I have no idea if i've screwed this thing up or what. Is there any way to get my phone back to its original state so I can try this whole thing over again?
Help!

have you tried unrooting it since you got the "unroot" option you said when you open up z4?...if you can sucessfully unroot keep debug on and reboot then run z4 again..worth a shot...if it was sucessful you should see the temp root or permenant root option chose permemnet and let it do its magic. hope it helps its worth a shot..
Weird...
Thanks paul. I ended up turning the phone off and pulling the battery, and then upon restart z4 let me unroot, and then let me root! I had probably ****ed something up by trying to root it 2 different ways and 20 different times. Thanks for the advice!
Wait a sec -
So I'm trying to use adb to finish de-odexing, and I'm getting permission denied on the following command:
su mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
Does this mean I'm not rooted? Titanium backup works on the phone, and a notification popped up on the phone asking me if I wanted to give it superuser permissions or something...So I feel like I must be rooted. Any ideas?
If I leave out the su in the front of that command, it says Operation not permitted.
But If I type SU the cursor does switch to the dollar sign, so I think I have su privileges.
Droid X probably dead.
Haha hey everyone. So I managed to get root access through adb shell, and was in the middle of de-odexing the files. However, I ran rm /system/framework/*.odex before I ran rm /system/app/*.odex by mistake.
After the first command, the phone restarted and I lost connection to the phone for some reason.
Now when I start the phone up I get all these boxes that say (on a black background) Sorry! the application Voice Commands (process com.nuance.android.vsuite.vsuiteapp) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
It gives me the option to force close, but the box just appears again. I can't get the phone to boot. What do I do!?
Edit: Found sbf. Flashed. Phone is alive.
Hello,
I am having real problems with my phone. I was trying to root the phone and I am stuck. I have S=off on the HBOOT screen, android version 2.2, software version 1.14.531.1.
I am not able to perform Visionary temp root, can't load clockwork recovery, and can't install Busybox. When I try SU within terminal, I get the error "must be suid to work properly".
When I try to install Busybox, I get the error "The application failed either becasue you device is not NAND unlocked or we were unable to remount".
I cant install ClockWork recovery..I get the error "an error occured while trying to run privilidged commands"
I have tried everything which is probably why I am stuck. I tried to force the update to 2.2.1 but won't work. The phone goes thru the motions of updating boot, radio, etc...However, still the same results are its done. THe phone stays on 2.2.
I have tried doing all of the root methods avail: Using Visonary, rage, etc... None of them will work.
Can anybody offer me advice to get root back so I can 1. install a recovery and then install another rom? I need a way to basically put the phone back to factory installed software and start fresh.
Try this worked perfectly for me. also make sure you have ADB installed and working properly before attempting root.

if you want to go back to stock follow the downgrade thread (linked in the thread about forcing the update) then follow the one linked above me here... it's faster than my forcing the update method (once you get radio s-off and the eng boot loader you can actually just flash the update.zip from my thread....)
EDIT: and in the future please post in the proper section or reply in the thread of the guide you're having problems with.
Thank you for trying to quickly help me. I started to follow the instrucions for downgrading and got stuck at the ADB Shell command. Within the Shell, I typed SU and got the following error "must be usid to work properly". Can you please offer any advice to get around this error?
Thanks,
Lance
to be suid you have to have temp or full root access. my sugestion would be to start the process from scratch. have you tried the visionary method?
i cant post the link to the other forum but its readily availible if you google it.
i didnt see the download link in the site i found so if you need the file PM me your email and ill send it back to you
Hello,
Yes, I did try Visonary and will not get SU working. The S=off is already showing. However, no matter what I do, I can't get SU to work. The device appears to be rooted but won't allow any advanced permisson comands to be used such as SU. I have tried re-installing superuser. that didn't help either.
launch the current version of SU you have on your phone and select settings scroll to the bottom of the page and under "superuser Information" you should see "Su binary Vx.x.x-xx) what is the version #?
Click on that and see if it updates the version if it does update try rebooting launch terminal and retry SU
Hello,
I checked the version of SU and did find there is an update. I tried to install and got the followng error 'An error occured and su was not updated. a zip file has been placed on your sdcard. please reboot into recovery and flash it".
The problem is that I can't get into recovery as I get the red exlimation mark. I can't find a way to install a recovery program because of permission issues.
Any further suggestions?
Please post questions in Q&A section.
Aren't you suppose to be on 2.2.1 before you start any rooting. Op=reading fail!

How in the first place you get the s=off. In order to get s-off you need root! Is also known that to boot into recovery thou need to try several times before its locks! The better way to deal woth it is reading! The root method in the dev section help a lot! Read, read! That's the better way to learn! If you are in eng hboot and s= off there's a possibility that you only need to reboot into recovery several times! Other than that just read with patience!

My advice (without trying to hurt feelings too much) is DON'T ROOT. You obviously don't really know your way around Android too well at this point. I would familiarize yourself with everything before diving in head first.
Despite popular belief, having root does NOT in fact make you cooler.
WAAAY too many new users are trying to root because they think it's cool or heard it's cool. You need to learn your device first.

If you have S=Off on your phone already, your best bet would be to flash Clockwork recovery through FASTBOOT.
If you are unsure of how to do this, refer to this link from the Cyanogen Wiki:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Fastboot
The page will point you in the right direction for everything that you need.
Have the ROM that you want to install on your SD Card because FASTBOOT will probably not allow you to directly flash all the other partitions, but it will at least allow you to flash recovery, then boot into Clockwork and Install a new ROM.
Hi everyone, again.
I have attempted to root my phone which doesn't seem to have worked right, yet it says it has.
my phone when I go into the hard reset mode says it is rooted, so I have tripped LG's rootchecker, but I have absolutely no super user access, and I cannot install TWRP, when I type adb shell into cmd all that comes up is the $.
I do not know what to do and because I am too new I am forced to asking here, (not that it's a bad thing, just that I've already asked for a lot of support from the community here, which has been great by the way) I hope someone knows whats going on because it's confusing, I have ADB installed correctly, and I'm having some problems on that end as well, I am going to try installing it from a different computer now though, thanks everyone!
Maybe you're rooted but just haven't flashed Superuser yet?

When using adb, after typing adb shell type "su" and if you get # then you have root via adb; when I rooted my G2 I had temporary root for applications and permanent root with adb. It was weird, but once I flashed twrp it was fine.
When I type SU I get $, so I know I'm not rooted via ADB, and when I try to hard reset it keeps my pseudo root.
Also I don't know how to root with Flash it, and I've tried installing TWRP but it says that it failed, reason for which I'm assuming is because it doesn't have the proper root access.
ALL GOOD
To everyone voicing their help, I thank you very much!
I have everything in order and all is good, thank you once again!!!

I have an lg g2 and just did a dumb thing. I wiped my internal memory so all of the roms I had on the phone are gone. Is there a way I can hook the phone up to my computer as a usb device and reload my roms?
Thanks for the help.
What is LG root checker? Is it like Samsung's Knox? Does it void the warranty if you root?

Install SuperSU app from playstore. If u are in stock KK 4.4.2 install recovery using Auto_rec.apk, which u can down load from the link below,
Download AutoRec.apk (please find it here : http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=13763) app for your device’s model Make sure you choose the right model.
Install AutoRec app like any other APK file You might need to mark the check box of “Unknown sources“.
Open AutoRec app and grant root permission to continue.
It will display a warning message “Modifying partitions is dangerous and we won’t take any responsibility for possible damages you or the app may do to your system. Please use at your own risk.”
Tap on “Yes” to continue
Tap on “Flash recovery” to install TWRP custom recovery Don’t touch your phone while flashing.
After finishing installation, it will display “Recovery installed succesfully. You may now reboot to recovery“ (install oneclickrestart.apk from palystore for this)

Hi everyone, I just want to share this tutorial for someone like me (NEWBIE, NOOB, BEGINNER, ZERO KNOWLEDGE).
ALL CREDITS TO THE RIGHTFUL OWNER.
PRE-REQUISITES
- Laptop
- Applications, .img files (https://mega.nz/file/igphSCTD#OybJo9t1zwvJ0bdbAcN2BCqxWXAfHdhk3JFB4_5xkVc)
- Your Nubia Phone
ENSURE THAT:
- You installed the application and driver (Minimal ADB and Fastboot & the driver from your Nubia phone).
- You updated your OS in the latest version.
- You UNLOCK the developer option (setting>>about phone>>tap 7x the build number) and you switch ON the OEM unlocking & USB Debugging.
- You approved the RSA request in your RM5G
NUBIA RED MAGIC 5G UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
1. Connect your Nubia in laptop, in your laptop, open Minimal ADB and Fastboot and type the following:
a. adb reboot bootloader
b. fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX659J
c. fastboot flash recovery recovery-TWRP-3.4.1B-0324-NUBIA_REDMAGIC_5G-CN-wzsx150.img
d. fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta_BL_skip.img
e. fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
f. fastboot flash parameter parameter.img
2. Go to your RM5G, select reboot to recovery
3. It will reboot in TWRP twice, in the 2nd reboot it will stay in TWRP, change the language to English and select the keep read only.
4. Go to WIPE option, then select FORMAT DATA, type yes
5. Press home button, then go to REBOOT, select REBOOT to RECOVERY
NUBIA RED MAGIC 5G ROOTING PROCEDURE
6. Go to ADVANCED, below there are list, select INSTALL ROOT.
7. Reboot your RM5G.
At first, my RM5G restart twice, I was afraid that it was bootloop, the 3rd boots, it booted up and its rooted already.
Also, when I first registered my Finger Print, it’s malfunctioning, so I just deleted the OLD FP , register NEW FP and it works like a charm.
Now, I managed to flash the wonderful kernel of @mslezak.

Great job bro !
Note for those that don't know how to enable developer options - go to settings, about phone, click build number 7x. It should take you right to the Developer Options menu. Nice clear concise guide by the way! Glad someone wrote a simpler one than the one I wrote initially, only so many hours in the day.

I've been trying for days to download the MEGA zip, but no matter what I do it always stays on 0% and gives me an error. I tried on different browsers, on different computers, and using the desktop app, I even tried with the mobile app with no luck. Could someone please share a mirror or another link, please?
Nevermind, I was finally able to download the file, my solution was to use chrome instead of firefox and close every window except the mega one... I left it like that for a couple of hours and it finally downloaded it.
Possibly a stupid question, but are there any downsides to this other than the risk of bricking?

You can hide the Magisk (setting/select the apps/then hide magisk) so it will not detect that you are rooted.

Hi,
2 questions. First of all, does this method work for all of the 5G phones? As in the European version etc. And second of all, will the phone brick if you update it via OTA, or do we need to do this method every time?

Hi Guys, first of all thanks for awesome tutorial. Got it rooted and enjoying the perks. However, some issues do exist. 1. The phone has detected a new update v4.09. Will the root be deactivated if I update the system? Second question, my banking app is detecting the root and does not want to start. I did set magisk manager to hide it from the app and restarted the phone even, but no luck the app still sees the root. Any solution for it? Thanks all
