DO I HAVE TO ROOT MY PHONE TO INSTALL THIS STOCK ROM VIA CWM , AS GIVEN IN THIS LINK >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1758884
i think not since OP did not mention any root or SU privileges needed
but just to be safe,
root it
as per experience with installing different roms, from installing fresh stock rom which is not rooted to flashing custom roms. i was able to install it successfully. but just to be safe, root it as mentioned by deathnotice.
for me rooting 1st is prioterize cause example installing tweaks somekind needs root previlage... for me thats my opinion
There is no harm in rooting. That stock rom is rooted anyway
CWM Install
hi..
No you dont need root, just need CWM recovery installed..
Cheers

You don't need to root your phone to flash a custom or stock rom. The simple reason is that all custom roms are pre-rooted roms with superuser pre-installed and flashing of stock roms doesn't need rooting. Don't forget to back up your stock rom and kernel via cwm recovery if you didn't own a pc as a safety measure in case you wanted to revert back to it in the event of bootloops or otherwise. If you do have a pc, it is not necessary as you can flash back to stock rom and kernel via odin. If you don't know how to flash via odin search the forum for tutorial. In case if you don't have any odin flashable firmware package, it is advisable that you create a back up. Sorry for the long reply.

Stock ROM is possible to flash only by Odin.
Imho rooted stock doesn´t exist. You must root it after instal.
easiest way to to flash latest available rom for your region/carrier using odin, then root using towelroot. i'm using the latest uk btu which is still FNB8. I've tried loads but always seem to come back to this setup, it's the most stable for me.
If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to be able to root/unroot at will?
Easiest way I found is if you have custom recovery Philz. With this you can go into Philz setting, restore root and then install SuperSU from store. Then to unroot just choose "Full unroot" in SuperSU app and you're done.
You can also use twolroot to root the phone then install SuperSU to full unroot.....although I've found that this can take a couple of attempts of rooting/unrooting before the UNROOT will hold for some reason. At the moment I'm on totally stock ROM, stock recovery, but I rooted with towelroot to make some adjustments using xposed/wanam and to edit the snd_soc_msm files for louder music and remove bloatware using rootexplorer, and have now finally got unroot by rebooting/clearing cache at each stage of the process (i.e. when i root, when i install supersu, when i update the binary in supersu, then i reboot one more time once root is confirmed working, then full unroot and uninstall towlroot app and reboot/clear cache once more).
So now I have a sort of custom stock rom without root, sky go player working. Perfect setup until I get brave and a new update comes out.
::EDIT::
there are also pre-rooted stock roms in this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250824
not sure if the procedure for unrooting would be the same though? or even if you can using these roms?
so I have ROOTED my Grand Prime already. I want to flash mods into my phone. eg, im planning to install audio mods that are flashed from the recovery. So I think I need a custom Recovery like CWM or TWRP.
then I found a video to install CWM on youtube
they use the odin software to install this recovery.
so my question is..
Will anything Happen to the root if I install CWM using this method?
or will any other problem wil happen?

You will not gonna lose the root, but you surely will trip knox counter by flashing custom recovery.
I have disabled knox after I root the phone. When opening SuperSu they asked to disable the knox. So i clicked yes.
Model of Your prime?
I was read about CWM on GP and some of people have a problem like bootloop or it shows that CWM is installed but after reboot all disappear and back to stock recovery
I'm still wating for any info about root my GP and for now....nothing useful yet keep wating
So I picked up a New Verizon S5 Galaxy. I rooted it via jrkruse's excellent method. I have busybox Super SU me and Safestrap installed and I THINK I installed the custom ROM he has at the bottom of the first post. The SIM card is not in yet, nor the extSDcard.
It came with BOG5 and updated via rooting process to BOK3
Here are my questions:
1. I'm looking for a custom ROM that gets rid of crap like NFL football and such. There is a debloater.zip file associated with the ROM (deodexed stock BOK3), but I don't know how that's implemented. Is that run via Safestrap and if so, what option? Surely not install. Can I use the method in [How to][guide]?
2. I want to get rid of OTA updates. Can I just use the method listed in the [how to][guide]
3. Same question for granting full permissions to the ExtSDCard
4. Same question for Security update notification
5. When everyone says you must reflash a kernel to exit Safestrap, when exactly am I doing that and do I have to do it via Odin? What happens if I just reboot after installing the custom ROM?

I guess what I'm asking is the process for Safestrap.
It sounds like:
1. Odin to a kitkat Kernel
2. Run SS and reboot to recovery
3. Do the ROM install in SS
A. ??Reboot to Download (Odin mode)
4. ?? Run Odin again to change the Kernel back (to BOK3 in this case)
5. Reboot into Custom ROM
Is that it?
After installing the lollipop update I lost the rooting to the phone.
I rooted my phone again but to be sure for the next time,is there a way to root Lenovo a6000 plus permanently?
When u flash new rom, you have to root again, no way for permanent exept root option include in the rom
You wanted to root again hah? Flash SuperSU.zip (based on my knowledge stock LL cannot/hard to root withe root.apk like kingroot. So, i think the latest tricks is flash the supersu.zip) but still... if you are Advanced User if not dont trying it

For me root still work even on reboot. To root my phone, i flashed SuperSU.zip with custom recovery twrp. How about you? Did you using same thing like me or by apps like KingRoot.apk?

Yup obviously.. By SU... I never use kingroot... Well i know it shouldn't have happened... Btw fresh rom install will solve it.. But i don't wanna do that.. Setting up phone again and again suks.. I just asked it because i thought if you might have had this problem! Thanks btw
To clear things up. Think of root as a system module (binary) ("su" module located in "xbin"). Each time you install a new OS, core partitions need to be formated (/cache, /data, and ofc /system). If the SuperUser module is not pre-installed in the new firmware you are flashing, it can be additionally obtained through Chainfire's installation zip. Nearly all custom ROMs have it and will work just fine, with some needing user input to activate it (Settings > Dev Settings > Root Access). While stock ROMs will NEVER have root capabilities pre-loaded.
So, all in all:
No, there is no such thing and will never be, as permanent root. Everything is being overwritten all the time.
Rooting and re-rooting the A6000 is safe and easy.
Hey everyone,
I tried installing magisk 16.0
firstly i did ,
unlocked bootloader,
then installed twrp recovery 3.2.1
booted the phone installed magisk manager,
then again in twrp recovery
i tried flashing the magisk 16.0,the magisk gets flashed but the phone does not boot up to system,
i dont get what mistake i am doing,
i want to use the 'CAMERA2 API' on my moto g4 plus,
and nothing else
But they say you need to root for that,
so i am trying
Please help me with this...
You need to flash a custom kernel (ElementalX) before rooting your device when using stock firmware.
In addition to thorin0815's message, you cannot root on the stock Motorola kernel - attempting to root on the hudsoncm kernel causes bootloops. You may be able to reboot to TWRP, restore your TWRP backup (you did make a backup, right?) then flash ElementalX, then magisk. If you're still bootlooping, you may have to re-flash the stock ROM then try again.

I'm not sure if king root or the one click root would work, if they don't flash the custom kernel first you'd be back with a non booting device. Best to flash root yourself, that way you'll also learn the process too
