[Q] Installing .zip via Safestrap

I was wondering how I install things while in Safestrap? I'm currently trying to install BeatsAudio via a .zip but when I'm in Safestrap I am unable to access the install tab.

how to root and still have stock recovery using adb

for rooting i usually uses the wugfresh nexus toolkit and it will root the nexus by using a temporary twrp recovery but how do i do the same using adb?
im using linux now so thats why i used adb to flash 4.4 but i couldnt find a way to flash twrp temporarily(the recovery will only last for one time and returns to stock afterwards) . i could flash twrp and install superuser and then flash the stock recovery but im just trying to figure out how the toolkit does it by using two steps (flashing twrp temporarily and installing super su).

Click to expand...

The command should be fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot nameofcustomrecovery.img , with this command you can boot in twrp temporarily

Or simply flash the stock recovery when done.

Try framaroot maybe? There are reports it works on KitKat..

Rooting manually

I'm on 4.4.4 Original
I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP 2.8.0.1 from their website.
Both via fastboot.
Now I need the latest SuperSu file to install this via TWRP.
I have this WUG Tool, too. But it wants to install a boot.img and twrp again.
I just want the latest supersu file.
Or do I have to let him install a boot.img over the original one?

When using the WUG Tool it should download the latest file dependencies for your device(boot.img/supersu/etc).
When using the "Unlock" option it will reboot into bootloader and then fastboot, flash custom boot.img and continue the process.
Have no fear as it will flash/install the latest twrp and supersu..

superuser binary update

haw to update binary for superuser

Do you have a custom recovery? Flash supersu in it. If not, flash a twrp.img file with fastboot.

Yes, flash TWRP using your computer and from TWRP flash root zip.

Yes, as mentioned above, and you also need to flash root right after taking an OTA (before leaving TWRP) and that won't happen in the future
