4.2.2 update

Will the 4.2.2 OTA for my Nexus 7 take away root access?
Sent from my Nexus 4

Yes.

There's a long thread on 4.2.2 already.

What about the bootloader? Will it relock it? Or is it left alone?
Sent from my Nexus 4

Also, I was just reading through that thread and it said if you have SuperSU that it won't unroot. Is that true? Or do I need to use ota rootkeeper? I know that thread may have the answers I'm looking for, but I'm too tired to read through it all. I ask all these questions because I have no computer to reroot and reunlock the bootloader with.

I was on JOP40D (4.2.1) Stock, rooted, with CWM 6.0.2.3. I downloaded this OTA file http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-nakasi-JDQ39-from-JOP40D.6ece895e.zip from the link in the other 4.2.2 thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2144330)
I booted into CWM, and flashed the downloaded ZIP file as normal
When I told CWM to reboot, CWM warned me the update would flash stock Recovery and do I want to STOP this from happening and I said YES.
It then said I had lost root, and do I want to restore root, and I said YES.
It then booted into Android and continued with the upgrade.
I now have 4.2.2 stock installed (JDQ39), and still have root and custom recovery, and an unlocked bootloader.
From what I have read, if you 'sideload' the update using ADB, or do a normal OTA update, you will lose root and custom recovery. However, using the steps above will keep root and recovery for you

TWRP is same to CMW, but for sure you should install Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, backup SU then flash the 4.2.2 update.zip. Finally, open Voodoo and restore the backup SU --> your Root is kept. Just in case you need to verify root will work or not. Go to Play Store, install Root Checker (joeykrim) and check your root permisson.
I updated my N7 to 4.2.2 without removing root by these steps above.

Yes, if you can put your 4.2.2 OTA update.zip in your N7 Internal Storage.
Maybe by downloading the zip through wifi connect.

I don't think it matters...
I used TWRP to flash the update.
Afterwards, the bootloader was still unlocked... but had been updated from 4.13 to 4.18.
And I had to reflash TWRP as the update had wiped it out, effectively resetting recovery back to Googles default recovery.

This is OTA link for N7 Wifi Only.
Connect to wifi, download the 4.2.2 update.zip to your internal storage from this link http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-nakasi-JDQ39-from-JOP40D.6ece895e.zip (anywhere is ok, be sure to remember the path). Reboot your N7 to recovery mod (TWRP), choose install and browse to where you put your zip in internal storage.

So I'm in recovery and at the part where it gives me the option to flash. Is there anything I need to do or back up before I flash the OTA so that I don't lose root?

Just downloaded the OTA zip, went to recovery and tried "install" (both checkmarks to check md5 and zip off) and got FAILED! The device booted normally afterwards. I copied file via USB cable in standard media mode... what am I doing wrong? On 4.2.1, stock, rooted, 16gb Wifi only N7.

Try downloading it using Wi-Fi from the link above, and then back everything up. what recovery are you using? I left the zip in the download folder, so I wouldn't lose it.

Just a question: Doesn't install cwm through odin make your custom binary increase?
If so, I think it should be mensioned in the text.

Yes, and if you have cwm you are probably already rooted
Otherwise you'll have a custom binary count of at least 1 :/

So it look`s like it`s only for CWM and not Stock recovery like SHAAAN originally said.

Exactly...we have a huge problem when dealing with sammy...sansung signature as it showed us is very hard to imitate

It should be noted with big letters in the OP that this method increases your flash counter. And that at the moment there is no way to zero it.
And just a comment, this method has already been posted, here.

Re: [GUIDE]Step by Step to root
As you may see I pointed that out inbthe last of my post...and yes there is another method to install cwm with zero counter but its complicated

If you refer to "dd" method you'll need to have root already to execute those commands via terminal. Might work through ADB without rooted device. Not really sure 'bout that.
Only known method (as far as I know) to get root without increased custom binary count is still to flash pre-rooted rom through odin.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, and the root method in that thread is as I said, to flash a pre-rooted rom.
There is no other known way for the moment, if you still want to keep your binary count at zero.

What I meant was that this method can install the cwm recovery without vinary count...right?
And then you can flash it by shaan root file and by that way you will not (I think and theoretically) lose binary count

"dd" command doesn't increase binary count, thats right. But you need to be rooted already to be able to..

[Q] How to root and unroot LG G2

Hello!
I just changed my phone from LG Optimus Black to a G2, and I need some help if you don't mind
First, how I can root my phone and for sure I don't brick it ?xD.. i know the process how to root from Optimus Black, but i'm just asking to be sure.. the forum of G2 here on xda just confuse me why are different sub-forums for each carrier ? and if my phone is open, where should i look for ROMs?
So.. I want to root my phone because I can do more things with it ..but i have warranty on my phone..so how i can unroot and reinstall the stock version of android without custom recovery menu and root? these are my questions, how to root and unroot
And other question, if I wipe data from LG G2, the files from internal storage remains?

The easy way to root your phone is: install a custom rom, then install supersu http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/ by recovery. To unroot your phone, just select the option unroot on setting of supersu App.
And no. Your data internal storage is safe. For wipe your internal storage you must wipe internal data sd card ( storage lg g2 )

Read that post and follow directions. Pretty much all versions of android for the G2 are rootable.
As far as going back to stock, there are 2 ways:
1) make a backup of your stock ROM (this requires having a custom recovery installed) before flashing a custom ROM. This will allow you to revert to stock if you have any probs or just want to return to stock. You WILL still be rooted tho.
2) use the LG flash tool to revert to stock. This will put your phone completely back to stock as if you just pulled it out of the box (you will not be rooted after this process). This will also wipe your internal SD card.

No matter if you're using flashify, freegee, or pushing the image via ADB, you MUST have root first in order to flash a custom recovery. Any one of those methods needs root access.

Anytime you need to send your phone back for warranty, use the LG flash tool and flash back to stock. It will wipe everything (including internal SD card) on the phone and return it to the same state as when you first pulled it out of the box. Also it will reset the root checker flag to zero (unrooted).
Although unrooting via the supersu app may completely unroot the phone, it may not reset the flag. Using the above mentioned method is a sure way to be safe.
Besides, you would most likely do a factory reset on your phone before sending it in so others don't see what data you have on it (pics, files, etc) so why not use the flash tool instead?

never mind, sorry, i figured it out
and it shows the version in settings xD..but i didn't noticed that there says 20D
Root done!..but after using ioroot i need to install manually supersu

once you get root, how do you go about getting a custom recovery installed so you can install a custom ROM?

I haven't used this since Froyo/Gingerbread lol does this even root KK?

I think so.
But Towelroot is a good one to try and of course Framaroot.
Try them all and you will see hopefully a good result @simon_lefisch

Is it possible to root without installing a custom recovery?
This way I could still get OTAS and install them, right?

[Q] SuperSU can't detect su binary after reboot

I rooted my phone with Kingroot, and ran this script to replace the Kinguser with SuperSU: http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html?m=1
After launching SuperSU it updates the binary and everything works fine until I reboot my phone. Now when I launch SuperSU it says no su binary installed. Using es file explorer I can see the su is in /system/xbin where it should be but SuperSU can't see it.
After rerooting with Kingroot and doing the same process over SuperSU will once again work fine until I reboot my phone. Anyone know what's going on and how I can get SuperSU to work properly?

Anyone?
I tried flashing the SuperSU.zip, but when I launch the app it fails to update the binary. I've also tried installing ChainsDD Superuser but it also fails to update the binary. I've even tried manually copying, setting permissions, and symlinking the files found in the SuperSU.zip, but it still fails to update.
I don't like using Kingroot because apps like Titanium Backup and Lucky Patcher don't work with it's su binary. Has anyone encountered this before? Why won't SuperSU update? And when it does update why can't it survive past a reboot? This is stressful ha. Any help is very much appreciated.
By the way I'm using a Cricket Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337Z). It's a weird model that few people seem to know about (I337ZTUUBOA1). The only root method that works on it is Kingroot otherwise I would have just rooted it some other way.

I had an idea wile reading your post could u try flashing TWRP for ur phone then rooting with the built in installer might be worth a try but u might need to Un root or flash back to what ever firmware ur using to remove root so that TWRP sees that ur not rooted

I've got twrp flashed. How do I use the built in root installer??

When u boot into system from TWRP it will ask you if u want to root the system but it only asks if TWRP can't detect root.

Try rooting with kingroot, then uninstall king user by going into king user and unrooting. Once that is done, download the newest version of SuperSU.zip (update-supersuv2.46.zip I think is newest) then copy to phone storage, reboot to twrp and then flash the SuperSU zip. Reboot and profit!
Hope this helps!

Still no luck I think it's an issue with the SuperSU app. Something during a reboot causes it to break for some reason. I really hope it can be fixed :/

Well only thing I can think of is odin to stock and start over or find a nice custom rom that works with your phone that comes pre rooted if there are any.......

Attention everyone
You'll need latest signed zip to update your device to latest version.
Interested one can read this for reason.

I flashed the zip from recovery skipping the md5 verification. It has worked for me! I have only losed my root permission!

If you are on stock recovery then just flash signed zip. Zip signature verification is only for custom recovery like TWRP. To disable zip signature verification in TWRP recovery, goto TWRP setting and uncheck 'zip file signature verification' and while flashing don't select 'zip file signature verification'. File will be falshed without checking for any MD5 file checksum.

Yes, signed zip revert /system partition to completely stock. Flash latest SuperSU.zip to get back root access.

Thank you very much.

Obviously, you'll need a custom recovery. Flash TWRP recovery and afterwards flash SuperSU from TWRP recovery.
