[Q] How to Root w/o Custom Recovery?

I would like to root my Nexus 7, but I just want "Root" so I can push apps via ADB, and run apps that require root.
I don't want a "Custom Recovery" or to install any "ROMS"
I like it stock, and only need root.
Is this possible, and how?

If you "want" to root your nexus 7 "but" don't want to install a ROM then you should do a "search" on this website. There are several "stickies" that explain this; try "reading" them.

I have read through them, but the ones I find all mention installing CWM.
I don't want a Customer Recover installed. Just STOCK
I tried Nexus 7 Toolkit;
Unlocked the Bootloader.
Ran Option 4 to Root.
But Superuser won't work, and Root Explorer says I don't have root.

Looking for the root on my g nexus
I am also looking for the same thing for my galaxy nexus i.e. root without custom recovery
Please do tell me if you get any info as to whether it is possible to root without vision recovery or not

I root my N7 using SuperBoot (it's somewhere in the development section, don't have a link at the moment).
It's ran one time only from bootloader mode via "fastboot boot superboot.img", doesn't flash anything, just get temp-loaded to memory and roots the system on it's boot.
After a reboot you're back on stock kernel.

[Q] Nexus 4 Un-Rooted on 4.3 update. Best way to re-root?

Hello, after updating to 4.3 JB on my Nexus 4, the phone had been unrooted.
I have a few questions, I'm new to rooting, so please bear with my (possibly simple) questions.
1. Why did it unroot when it updated? (I was told it would not unroot).
2. If I use helium to backup my phone, will all settings be the same exact as they are at the time I make a backup? Are there any non-root backup programs that work as well or better?
3. I rooted using the "Nexus Root Toolkit" by: WugFresh. The BootLoader is unlocked. Do I just need to root it, or do I have to go through the bootloader process again?
Thanks very much for ready this. Hopefully someone can help me out.

1) The process your went through in order to gain root access was overwritten by the update. Normally, you can use apps like root saver or whatever to keep root through updates, but too many things were updated on 4.3 so there was no way to save root.
2) There are no backup apps that don't require root that will work as well as apps that require it. However, backups made through CWM or other custom recoveries don't technically require root and create exact images of your phone at the time of backup.
3) You don't have to unlock the bootloader again, just flash the SU binary through a custom recovery. I'm not familiar with the toolkit so I can't give you any specific information.
Good luck

[Q] Nexus 4 rooting problem

Searched a lot of forums and couldn't really find anything.So basically the problem is I rooted my nexus 4(Using Kingo Android root) and everything went quite successfully.I saw the bootloader screen and the menu came up,etc.However once I installed some applications which require super root access It gave the error "The phone is not rooted" so I downloaded a root checker and it also confirmed this.However I can access the Android recovery if I hold the right keys and there is an unlock icon when I boot up my phone.Not really sure why this is happening.
p.s:I'm not really used to the technical jargon as I am a relatively new user to android.
Thanks

do you have Superuser or SuperSu on your phone. Do you have busybox installed? Do you have a custom recovery installed? Personally I never heard of the the toolkit you used. I used Wugs when I did mine

Umm I don't know if I have Superuser,I got a notification when I attempt to use applications which require superuser access stating I do not have superuser access.Also no I did not download any of the above applications as they all require root access which my phone( for some reason) says I don't have.Which is the main problem.
I can access that screen where there is an android having open-heart surgery(Is that the bootloader?)
Thats pretty much it.I didn't install any additional software after rooting it with that.And tbh the only reason I used that is because it was a one-click root process

Toolkits are pretty useless. All that is needed to root a nexus device is to unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery (technically optional), use custom recovery to flash supersu.
The unlock icon means bootloader is unlocked, do you have a custom recovery yet such as TWRP or clockworkmod?

none of them are truly one click and rooting this phone is not that difficult. To be honest if you have a problem following rooting instructions for a Nexus may I say rooting may not be for you and quit while your a head. If you used a toolkit you might be able to download Superuser from playstore and test your root.

lets be honest toolkits are useful for most that need a little help. For more advanced users of course its an issue. Flashing a recovery would still require downloading of software and understand adb slightly.

[Guide] Moto G XT1032. Unlock boot loader/root guide - No PC required

This is merely a guide, I do not take credit for any methods or apps listed below. I am not a developer. The great people working on these apps and methods deserve all the credit and your donations, so please disparse accordingly.
BIG THANKS to @iKrYpToNiTe, @jcase, @geohot who worked on these apps. Also thanks to @mschumacher69 for some constructive discussions.
YOU AGREE BY PERFORMING ANY OF THE ACTIONS BELOW THAT I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE. EVERY DISCLAIMER STATED ON THE LINKS PROVIDED IS STILL 100% VALID.
A RECAP OF THOSE DISCLAIMERS IS THAT YOU WILL VOID YOUR PHONE'S WARRANTY AND NOONE ELSE BUT YOURSELF ARE RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DAMAGE YOUR PHONE!!!
I decided to compile a root guide for the Cricket variant of the Moto G falcon xt1032 running 4.4.2 (may work on other variants as well, not sure). I obtained full, permanent root with philz touch recovery (but it would work for any other recovery you may choose to use).
THIS METHOD DOES NOT REQUIRE A COMPUTER/PC/MAC/LINUX USB CONNECTION
1. Enable USB debugging
2. From the setting tab "security". Check the " unknown sources" box, so you can install apk outside of play store
3. In addition to all things below, you will need a file explorer. I find es file explorer to be the golden standard, but your preferred file manager will do
4. This Link below is for you to install towelpieroot.apk
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/themes-apps/root-towelpieroot-motorola-devices-t2825059.
The version 1.2 supports the xt1032 falcon. Big thanks to @iKrYpToNiTe for adding support for the Moto G! You will need this temporary or "tethered" root before you go to the next step, which is unlocking the bootloader with this app called Sunshine (link to thread given below). Towelpieroot is buggy at times, but if it doesn't work the first time, try a few more. It WILL work.
5. http://theroot.ninja/
Note that running Sunshine is not free, but the $25 is well spent! Just so you know, Sunshine will NOT charge you if the process fails.
6. After the bootloader is unlocked, UNINSTALL towelpieroot. This is important in order for you to proceed to the next step.
7. Once you unlock the bootloader, you need to run towelroot (link below)
https://towelroot.com/
This step will grant you full, permanent root. Tap on the "welcome to towel root V3" three times, then you should see a box where you can modify the modstring. By experimentation and trial, I found the modstring 1337 0 0 0 4 0 to be the one. Click "Make it ra1n" and you should have permanent, full root privileges!!!
8. Download your favorite root checker to verify root access!
9. Go to play store and install SuperSU, and do any necessary updates.
10. Go to play store and install busybox and do all necessary binary updates.
11. Go to play store and download a terminal emulator. This will aid you in flashing your recovery.
12. My personal preference is Philz Touch recovery, but I think it it fair to assume that any compatible recovery of your choice is appropriate to flash with this method (link below)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639583
Download the latest .IMG from the OP
13. Before you flash you may want to back up your stock recovery.
Open the terminal emulator.
(do not include quote marks, only what's inside them, including spaces)
Type "su" and hit the ENTER key
This will get you superuser access
Type "dd=if/dev/block/mmcblk0p32 of=/sdcard/stock-recovery-backup.img"
This will create a backup of your current STOCK recovery.
14. Now ,using your file manager, go to the philz touch recovery .img file you just downloaded and rename it into "recovery.img", then move it to the sdcard folder (storage root folder)
Note: there you should also see the backup recovery file "stock-recovery-backup.img" you just created
15. Open the terminal emulator
Type "su" to gain superuser access
Type "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p32
16. THAT'S IT!!!
Verify by powering off your phone, hold volume down and power button for 5 seconds, select recovery and you should have Philz touch recovery in your phone.
NEXT LOGICAL STEP WOULD BE TO BACKUP YOUR STOCK FIRMWARE IMMEDIATELY!
BE MINDFUL WHEN YOU HOP BETWEEN ROMS THIS PHONE HAS ONLY AN INTERNAL STORAGE, SO BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU FORMAT
Other than that, whoohoo!!!!
NOTE: ACCORDING TO SOME DEVS I HAVE COME ACROSS ARE TELLING ME STEP 7 IS NOT NECESSARY. YOU CAN TRY SKIPPING IT. UNFORTUNATELY MY BOOTLOADER AND ROOT ARE IN EFFECT, THEREFORE I CANNOT VERIFY THIS. YOU COULD TRY[emoji3]
Please, when you need app-specific support, you may get better answers in the respective forums, but don't be discouraged posting questions here. It took me great effort finding a way to root without a PC, and although i am not a developer, I have stumbled in enough obstacles to be of some assistance
XT 1032 Falcon from Cricket GSM 4.4.2 stock

Once you unlock ur bootloader, u don't need exploit apps such as towelroot to gain root, all you need is a custom recovery such as twrp. Once you flash it and reboot from it, it will tell you that you're not rooted, do u want to flash supersu to gain root access? Swipe to intall supersu and u're rooted...

Yes that is true if you wanna fastboot via USB, which means connecting the phone to a PC. I was under the impression that I could not flash a custom recovery from the stock one. I have been struggling to gain root because of non-access to a computer. It is a little more lengthy but I find this to be the only no PC guide around, since I've been looking for one for 4 months now. And most certainly I would not be able to flash a recovery from the terminal emulator if I did not have su.
Towelpieroot only gives a tethered, temp root with no r/w privileges to system. It would make it impossible to flash a recovery from the terminal without gaining full root. This is why you need to run the original towelroot with the modified modstring.
REMINDER: THIS METHOD DOES NOT REQUIRE A USB CONNECTION WITH A COMPUTET. ITS ALL DONE ON THE PHONE.

Towelpieroot is buggy (the dev states in his post). I had to try the process numerous times. What i think may work (or may have worked). Is you have to make sure that before running towelpieroot again youbhave to clear it from the recents. What i have done was clear it from recents, uninstall. Reboot phone. Install and run again. Once you get temp root you can continue the process.
On towelroot v3. It will say your device is not supported. Tap on "welcome to towelroot v3" twxt three times and a modstring modification box will appear showing numbers. Input the modstring posted above in the OP "1337 0 0 0 4 0" (with the spaces). Then it will give you root

Note: According to some devs i have come across are telling me step 7 is not necessary. You can try skipping it. Unfortunately my bootloader and root are in effect, therefore i cannot verify this. You could try. [emoji3]

It is definitely unnecessary. Once you unlock ur bootloader, all you need to do is flash custom recovery and it would flash supersu for u which would give u root...
Towelroot uses an exploit to root, exploits are only needed on a locked bootloader. Unlocked bootloaders don't need exploits to be rooted...

You wouldn't be able to download it directly.

Swipe to install it and you're rooted. Then you can update supersu from the play store.

But my questions continue to be:
1. How do I flash a custom recovery from the stock one?. Will the terminal commands still be effective? Or an .IMG file flasher app like rashr will be effective without initial root?
2. Is it bad to just run towelroot V3 and gain permanent root in less than a minute, then just download super su and continue?
I just posted what has worked for me. I am thankful for your input and persistent suggestions. But like I said it has worked for me the way it is described in the OP. I just don't think it is necessary to fix what is not broken.

1. Yes you can flash a custom recovery via a terminal emulator, but you would need root to be able to do it without using a PC.
2. I wouldn't say bad, it's rather unnecessary especially that it uses an exploit to gain root. You wouldn't know what unnecessary changes it makes to your system in order to be able to gain root.

The guide is about NOT using a PC. Its in the topic, in the OP, in my posts... Then yes, its necessary to gain some sort of root (permanent, in the towelroot case) to run the terminal emulator.

Do you even read the posts? I have not had a PC or access to one (yes, people like me exist). I have looked for months on end and once I came across towelpieroot it all became possible. Then jcase released sunshine and that all put it together in a working method. This is the collection of hour of searching. If anyone like me does not have PC access it is still possible. But I wouldn't want others to have to go through that frustration

Thanks for the useful guide.
Once you do all of this what can be done . Does this mean the device is carrier free or just allows to install any variant of android on it.
Also even after doing all of these things how one can activate it on a different network than it is bought to be used on.
Sorry i am newbie to flashing software.
Thanks

This is a guide to root this device. That means you have access to the operating system files. By getting this access it allows you to modify the system in many ways. It also allows you to install custom ROMs. Gaining root has so many uses I cannot list here.
But no, this is not a carrier/SIM unlock.

How about the 4.4.4 cricket XT1046 seems to be impossible at this point?

When I get to the step on gaining temporary root it just keeps loading and loading and it never gives me root.. Like I went on and off multiple times and it still won't work

[ROOT][RECOVERY][ALL IN ONE] Cf-Autoroot-twrp-T700/705/800/805/Tab S- UPDATE 23/4/15

Updated CF-autoroot with latest Supersu binaries and combined TWRP recovery for SM-T800/SM-T805/T700/T705 Exynos only, Lollipop and Kitkat
I've noticed that quite a number of people seeking to root their device also flash TWRP afterwards, seeing as it's unnecessary to do both steps I have made an all in one package to root and install TWRP recovery.
Cf-autoroot has been updated with the latest Supersu binaries and TWRP has been updated with my fixed version (ADB root shell and Download mode fixes).
UPDATE - I have updated all versions with new builds. TWRP is now v2.8.6.2 and now includes the fixes recently pushed to their repo for encrypted backups. I have also addressed the slow wipe issue, cache, system, etc., which some have experienced and should now be much quicker.
Each device now has it's own build, this is to ensure that TWRP recovery build properties reflect the device it's installed on. ROMs such as CM12 should now install without issue.
Feedback is welcome.
Simply flash with ODIN. Odin 10.6

UPDATED TWRP:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3074633
NOTE: It is important to boot to recovery after flashing or twrp may not stick and will be replaced with stock recovery.
When flashing uncheck auto reboot in Odin, immediately after flashing manually reboot and boot into twrp.
Manual reboot is POWER + HOME +VOL DOWN then as soon as the screen goes blank immediately change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons.

Had an issue like this on a different device and it was corrected when I changed to ART, but do not know where it is in 5.0.2?
