I was wondering if there's a temporary custom recovery that we can use on the G2 that would let us flash the flashable version of super su to quickly root the phone without needing a computer?

This is the fastest way I found to do it to a virgin phone.

Once you have root then install a Custom Recovery with Loki.
After that any rom that you run with no root just flash SuperSU.
Besides that I have not found a way to install a custom recovery with out the virgin root process.
(I just got this phone 3 days ago lol so there maybe ways I have not found yet)

Hi,
Ok guys so a friend of mine wanted root on his S4 Gt-i9500, which I got for him using towelroot, no problems there and for a while he was happy with the root access and getting his phone debloated and a few other bits and bobs. However now he wants to try a couple of AOSP roms, and has asked me to help, which Im happy to do.
If it was my phone I'd take my chances and see what happens but with someone elses device I feel like I should be a bit more responsible, although I have made the dangers clear.
So what I want to do Is add a custom recovery, I've done a bit of googling and I can find out how to do it easy enough when rooted the traditional way, but my concern would be will I run into any problems with the Bootloader still being locked if I just flash a twrp .img with Flashify?
Maybe I should do a full unroot, and root via CF-Root Method and then find a TWRP .tar and flash with Odin.
Not used to having the Bootloader Locked issues as I use a HTC so is an easy unlock.
Any advice people can give would be helpful, hopefully I can just use Flashify and keep it as simple as possible
Ok, just to make things crystal clear, there is a big difference between a locked (i.e. encrypted) bootloader as found on AT&T and Verizon phones, and a SEAndroid Enforcing (aka Knox) bootloader. With the former you cannot customize the firmware that came with the phone, but developers have found workarounds. With Knox, you're still able to root and install custom ROMs if desired. You simply lose the ability to use Knox, which most of the userbase doesn't care about. In HTC speak, all Galaxy S4 bootloaders except the AT&T and Verizon models are equivalent to S-Off.
For installing TWRP, downloading an image and installing through Odin will work. TWRP Manager from the Play Store can also do the job, and do it without you being connected to the PC. Once you have TWRP installed, installing a custom ROM is quick, easy, and painless. Custom ROMs are usually pre-rooted, i.e. including SuperSU or Clockworkmod Superuser. This means you won't have to root again.
Hi all,
Maybe I missed it, but I was wondering if there's a new one-click app (no computer needed) for rooting a VS980 with Lollipop on it. I have 39A on my Verizon phone now (lost root after taking the OTA) and now Stump doesn't work (says "device is patched").
Is there another 1-click, no-PC root method? Otherwise, I'm fine with re-flashing stock, as I'm all backed up. Or, if I simply flash the stock 39A kdz, can I use Stump root again? Ideally, I'd like to not do anything other than use a 1click root tool on what I have now... If one's available.
Hi there! Some days ago i updated my D805 to a D802 Lollipop rom adapted to D805. But before restart the phone i should to install the superuser, then install twrp when using the phone
But i didnt do it, now i have no root and no recovery mode. I searched a way to root but nothing works without recovery, and cant install recovery without root.
Have something i can do to fix the problem?
Hi Guys
I got an LG G Pro 2 with F350s the other day, it was running KK and I did manage to root it using Kingroot (nothing else worked)
And even managed to get a copy of Philz recovery on there using an APK which was a surprise lol
But could not update the Binary in SuperSU (yes I had "Busybox") - but I coud live with that
But today I decided to upgrade to Lollipop - The APK Philz recovery vanished and I of course lost root again
I did try the "One Click" method and even though it said "Done" it didn't root?
So my question really is - where can I find a reliable Root method and a custom recovery? everywhere I look its not for the F350S running Lollipop (I have spent all day searching) no matches for F350S and LP anywhere I can see?
Thanks in advance
Hello all, I've been doing a lot of searching today to figure out if I can, and how to, install any custom recovery onto my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3 on Android 5.0. I want to do this so I can either install a custom rom, or use xposed. But now that I'm on 5.0 I'm not sure what's possible anymore. I can root just fine, but installing TWRP with Flashify, or CWM with ROM Manager just puts my phone in a soft lock when I power it up. Giving me an error because it recognizes that I've installed a custom recovery, so it just locks my phone. I've gotten out of this twice now but using Odin to install the Lollipop rom again. To reiterate, is there any way I can install custom recovery on this phone now? I've seen some conflicting things in my searches so I have no idea what the case is.
Thanks
If the phone has a locked bootloader, a custom recovery can't be installed.
