Hi
I will get my N7 in Calender week 37, this is the week starting with the 10. September.
Now I have some questions.
1. I want to root it, like my arc S. I also know how to root. Unlock the BL, flash CWM using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, then flash SuperSU Package via CWM. Is this ok? Somewhere i read, i have to delete any file in /system. Is this right?
2. If my BL is unlocked and a custon recovery is flashed, will i still be able to update OTA?
3. If my Bootloader is unlocked, a lock will be shown under the Kernel logo. If I relock the Bootloader using fastboot oem relock, will the lock still be there?
Thank you!

You should run CWM at least once after flashing it; it should automatically correct the ROM-wants-to-overwrite-recovery problem so that you don't have to delete some /system file. So after flashing, you would do
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
(I'm assuming from your sample instructions that you've renamed the recovery to "recovery.img". If not, replace it with whatever the file name is.)
Note: I'm basing this suggestion on paulobrien's earlier advice (which was for an outdated version of CWM). I'm not actually an expert at this stuff.

I think so (don't trust me on this) but I'm also pretty sure it'll remove root. I recommend just going fullon with custom ROM so you don't have to worry about this.

Before stating some answers, please don't continually bump your thread, it was a total of 5 hours... A couple of days, maybe... We have lives...
Now here is my answers to your questions:
1. This is OK, you dont need to touch anything in /system
2. Yes, and no. They will appear, but to keep it as is, may be a bit more involved.
3. The lock will be gone, it will look like nothing was different.
For points 1 and 2, I referred to http://www.nexustablets.net/forum/n...-7-windows-keep-root-through-ota-updates.html. It has a pretty good walkthrough on how to do things.

Dude - we don't work for you - you can't expect answers instantly!! Man, is that annoying! Give people time - they will answer your questions - or if you are in such a hurry for answers (as apparently you are), do some searching on your own! Geez...

Do i have to do fastboot boot recovery.img before or after fastboot flash recovery recovery.img?
But thanks for the answers and sorry for pushing.
EDIT: the link of mouse_man solved all my questions. Thanks!

Hey guys,
I used the CyanogenMod installer and am running CyanogenMod 10.2. Now I want to update to kitkat but I lost my cwm during the installation process using CyanogenMod installer. My simple question is if I can use any toolkit to install cwm again or do I have to consider somehow that I used the CyanogenMod installer?
Thanks

It shouldn't matter no. In reality the toolkit doesn't give you a whole lot, flashing a recovery (CWM or TWRP) is pretty straightforward if you have fastboot working.
Download fastboot (and ADB, why not) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42407269
Download CWM: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Start the Nexus 7 in fastboot mode: First shut it down. Then, hold the power button and volume down. Plug the USB cable into the computer.
Now go to a command prompt, navigate to the folder you have fastboot in, and type fastboot devices. You should see the Nexus 7 listed. Then do this in the command prompt (the path to the recovery is an example):
fastboot flash recovery c:\temp\recovery.img
OK, thanks! Gonna try that

Hello Moto G Users
i recently rooted my MOTO G after 4 hours of hard work..actually it was easy..but i got very confused with different types of threads and methods..like modaco...i was unable to choose which method to use ?..should i downgrade to 4.3 bootloader or not ?
So i thought to make a new thread..And i tried to make it simple for new users.....so here it is
How to Root Moto G
There are are three simple steps only
1. UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
2. FLASH CUSTOM RECOVERY [I USED CWM]
3. FLASH SUPERSU
DONE
Yeah ...you don't need to downgrade your bootloader which is very risky
Procedure
1. UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER :- i thinks its already explained well at different sites and motorola's site also [ i used this guide Moto-g-unlock-bootloader-and-root only for unlocking]
2. FLASHING RECOVERY-
You need 3 things
(a) motorola usb drivers [download from here ]
(b) adb drivers (download from here ]
(c) Custom recovery (download from here ] i used cwm without touch OR USE PHILZ RECOVERY (4.4.4) CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD
Real procedure:-
1. install motorola usb drivers
2. extract adb drivers anywhere in your computer
3. copy recovery.img [i renamed it to only recovery] into adb tools folder
4. boot your phone into fastboot mode by pressing volume down key and pressing power key simultaneously , and then releasing power key .
5. connect your moto g to your computer through data cable
6. go into adb tools folder => while pressing shift key => right click => and click open cmd here !
7. type [fastboot flash recovery recovery.img] and press enter { IGNORE Mismatched partition size' AFTER FLASHING RECOVERY }
DONE just press volume down and then volume up to boot into cwm
3. FLASHING SUPER SU
1. DOWNLOAD THIS FILE FROM HERE
2. PUT IT IN INTERNAL MEMORY
PROCEDURE => IN CWM =>INSTALL FROM SD CARD => CHOOSE SUPER SU => RESTART
It will ask 'root is broken' WHEN REBOOTING FROM CWM. CHOOSE YES
DONE !
I recommend these apps you should install first after rooting
1. Greenify (getting awesome battery backup )
2. xposed installer
3. gravitybox
4. tinted status bar (i love this module..make your android like ios7)
5. Titanium Backup
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING !
reserved !
if needed
excellent buddy..
will try it now on my Moto G
Update - works perfectly.. rooted my MotoG Dual Sim Indian version successfully..
My device is not able unlock due the Motorola unlocking site said my device is not eligible to unlock boot loader what to do?
Sent from my XT1033 using Tapatalk
@Aashish-kkhckr you just forgot to recommend Titanium backup the must app immediately after rooting
yeah thats one of the best....but i don't use it...so i can't recommend which i don't use
honestly i have no idea about that !

You rooted or yet to root...?
If not
Flash again recovery in boot loader
Enter CWM after flash
Install su
It will ask root is broken select yes.
Recovery should work now

No matter what i do...APP does not install (message)
Be sure you're Filemanager has write permission!!!
In most cases you have to enable it by yourself.
Try a other manager, maybe this one "ES Datei Explorer"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
Enable write permission!
Try again to install the apps, if not flash it, because you resettet the Phone already, now you can also do new flashing original Firmware too.
First boot into "recovery mode", make a "Factory reset" and after "wipe cache"
Download your original Firmware from Sammobile.com
Use PC Odin to flash new Firmware.
After successful flashing boot into recovery mode again, make "Factory reset" and after "wipe cache"
This should help

What? Flashing or enable write permission ?
Pls check that ALL 3 Files are copied to SYSTEM /APP
If yes and not working, delete the odex File and reboot.
Did you updated to KitKat 4.4.2 or you are on 4.3?

im on 4.4.2 and nothing has worked. i just tried that and it didn't install also when im in the home scren and i sype up it opens up google play and sais "application not set"
i basically don't have My magazine and wont let me intall it
Ensure that you've reset permission to rw-r-r for those apks inside system/app and reboot your phone
it´s not a good idea to root your phone....because you have less experience. thats the thing, that Samsung gives you no Root access
Anyhow....you should flash your device with Samsung original Firmware and ODIN from your PC.
It´s really not a big deal to do this. And after that, you´ll have a Note 3 like new
apk not intsllaed

i have CDMA flash on my note 3 and i was told that flashing the official or any firmware will destroy my CDMA flash. so i cant restore to official rom. i am on officail rom i just deleted everything with MY MAGAZINE and not its giving me problens..any other ideas?
Try to re flash the rom. Put the rom on your sd card, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache while in recovery mode. And than flash the rom again. Don't forget backup.
Same what i try to told
Why you can't flash the original Firmware. What is the difference between normal and cdma Firmware.
You should flash the original Firmware!

The down side is that you won't be able to get any OTA updates. The process would be to revert to 1.5, then let all the updates apply and then repeat the root process.

Have not messed with the recovery.sh unlesss Kingo Root causes that. I believe that there is a thread I saw somewhere to replace Kingo with supersu. Will try to see if that will help.

Found an app that was supposed to add supersu instead of KingoRoot. Link is http://missingtricks.net/replace-kingroot-kinguser-with-supersu-superuser-android-guide/. Tried the option to use super su me pro.
App said it worked but went into an extended boot loop. Had to revert, again, to 1.5 and now coming back to current. Going to stay unrooted for the foreseeable future.
Plain android is SO much better.

How does one revert to 1.5? I'm a noob but I just wanted to root and have a backup plan in case it goes south. Thanks!
Also, will Kingoroot work on 2.0.305

The Cyanogen recovery also works well. Have verified that using Supersu unlike other exploits allows you to unroot, upgrade and then reroot. Much better than King Root or Kingo root.

In the thread CM13 there was a zip of cwm recovery. But the link is availble further in the thread it's also here
Using fastboot you flash it to your tablet (for example fastboot flash recovery recoveryxxxxx.zip )
Reboot bootloader, and flash superuser from chainfire's site.

I presume you already have enabled developer options under settings. You should also have ADB installed. Here is my version:
Download SuperSu from the market. Option - Pay the author - worth it to keep good software coming.
Connect your tablet via USB.
Have the recovery (cwm or cyanogen) located in your ADB directory.
Open a command prompt (Windows) For Linux, ask someone else.
Move to your ADB directory and type ADB Devices. Hit Enter.
If you are OK with ADB you should get a serial number as verification.
Then enter ADB reboot bootloader. Hit enter.
Then enter fastboot boot (recovery name). Hit enter.
This will take a few minutes. If all is OK you should have a screen on your tablet with an option to install upgrade etc.
Select Supersu and hit enter.
If you reboot now, you will be rooted, but with the stock recovery. If you are OK with that reboot, otherwise you will need to flash the recovery (cwm or cyanogen) with a command fastboot flash recovery (recovery name).
This worked for me. Good luck.
