how to root under omnirom ? - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all.
All is in the tittle...
I'm under omnirom 4.4.2 and twrp.
But i don't found how to root my manta under this rom...
I tried to flash supersu.zip but i have always an error and installation failled...
Thx!

Omnirom is prerooted so no need to flash su, is there something not working for you that makes you think you don't have root?

Hi,
AFAIK, and as already stated by @demkantor, OmniROM is prerooted, so you should face no problem with root apps. Just make sure that you have the SuperUser app installed, and its binary is updated.
If you can't do it, try reflashing the ROM.

Downgrading back to 4.2.2

I updated my nexus 4 to 4.3 and now the nexus root toolkit can't root it ........ so i'm trying to downgrade to 4.2.2 to root
or, if possible root the 4.3 android ..... any ideas ?
In the Nexus 4 Toolkit, follow the instructions to install TWRP, then download chainfire's SU binary for the nexus 4 and flash it. Bam! You're rooted.

Lots of ideas... Don't rely on a toolkit to start with. Second, employ some intrepid googling with queries like "root android 4.3".
Chainfire has a version of supersu that will work for 4.3, easily installed via custom recovery like TWRP. No need to go back to 4.2.2. :thumbup:

Will this operation wipe your data?
Rooting won't wipe your data. (Assuming you already have an unlocked bootloader)

No I don't. I locked the bootloader with bootlocker since I didn't install custom ROM's jet.
Bootloader is now automatically locked because root is gone.

First of all, do you have a custom recovery like TWRP or CMW? Or do you have the stock recovery?

[Q] rooting nexus 4 with 4.3

Hi Guys, I want to root my nexus 4 running 4.3 but I have heard it is not as easy to do since the update, any help please.
P.S: this will be my first attempt at rooting. :fingers-crossed:
I would be interested in knowing how to too.
Background info: I was rooted before this latest update, so my bootloader is still unlocked. Are there any one click method that can work with 4.3?

I used both toolkits that are stickied in the Orig Dev thread to root 4.3. Was extremely simple.

You can also use ClockworkMod's superuser program instead, if you prefer. It has worked flawlessly for me on 4.3.
The 4.3 permission issues have been resolved in both programs (although in different ways).
For superuser go here:

Click on "Read More".
Click on the url link for Manual installation with the recovery zip (Recommended if you are having installation issues or are not rooted), and download the file.
Flash recovery in fastboot and then flash superuser in recovery.
Rooting 4.3 is identical to rooting 4.2 (or any other version really) with the exception of requiring an updated su application. The only difference is the implementation, which you as the end user shouldn't have to worry about as long as it's working okay.

It should be flashable via custom recovery but you must be on stock with no system apps removed or systemui modifications.

[Q] How to flash CM11 on MDL S4?

Hey folks,
Got a MDL 4.2.2 ATT S4. How do I go about flashing latest CM11 ? Would I need safestrap recovery, or a specific kernel ?
TIA!
Look for CASUAL in the development forum. That'll root and put twrp on your phone. Then you can flash cm in the twrp recovery. You don't need or want safestrap.

Ok, so no update to TWRP is needed, and no specific kernel for CM11 ? Do I need to install a loki patch? or is CM11 already LOKI-ed?

I don't believe cm11 is loki'd. I'd flash the Loki doki zip after flashing cm. It won't hurt anything.
