[Q] GooManager to install custom Recovery? - Acer Iconia A500

Has anyone successfully used GooManager to install custom Recovery?
I have rooted the device; GooManager has root privs.
Following instructions at teamw.in/project/twrp2/88
I selected "Install OpenRecoveryScript"
It claims to download.
Then... nothing. I'm still in theGooManager main screen. No reboot.

No u cannot use Goo, or Rom manager to install a recovery on any ICS or JB rom. You must flash skrilax_cz patched bootloader which will also flash cwm, see civato's guide stickied in the dev forum and/or the guides in my sig

Rooting needed befor installing via cwm ?

DO I HAVE TO ROOT MY PHONE TO INSTALL THIS STOCK ROM VIA CWM , AS GIVEN IN THIS LINK >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1758884
i think not since OP did not mention any root or SU privileges needed
but just to be safe,
root it
as per experience with installing different roms, from installing fresh stock rom which is not rooted to flashing custom roms. i was able to install it successfully. but just to be safe, root it as mentioned by deathnotice.
for me rooting 1st is prioterize cause example installing tweaks somekind needs root previlage... for me thats my opinion
There is no harm in rooting. That stock rom is rooted anyway
CWM Install
hi..
No you dont need root, just need CWM recovery installed..

You don't need to root your phone to flash a custom or stock rom. The simple reason is that all custom roms are pre-rooted roms with superuser pre-installed and flashing of stock roms doesn't need rooting. Don't forget to back up your stock rom and kernel via cwm recovery if you didn't own a pc as a safety measure in case you wanted to revert back to it in the event of bootloops or otherwise. If you do have a pc, it is not necessary as you can flash back to stock rom and kernel via odin. If you don't know how to flash via odin search the forum for tutorial. In case if you don't have any odin flashable firmware package, it is advisable that you create a back up. Sorry for the long reply.

Keep Root or Re-Root 4.3 - SOLVED

UPDATE - I discovered a Nexus 4 thread, followed the direction (changing as needed for the N7) and voila it worked
I created a step-by-step tutorial to keep ALL data going from 4.2.2 root > 4.3 root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390286
Unlocked Bootloader and Rooted. From what I've read I can't keep root (as of now). So what is the easiest way to keep all my data and move over to Rooted 4.3? Step-by-step would be helpful....
Thanks.
The easiest way if you have stock recovery is to revert any system changes you've made (in my case remove the AOSP browser from system apps), accept the OTA update, and once it's up and running, boot into twrp without permanently flashing (which you can do with mskips toolkit) and flash the updated 1.51 supersu zip. Then go to the play store and activate the supersu app.

Worked like a charm!! Thank you very much!! Super quick/easy! Already did the OTA update and thought it would be a pain in the ass to fix, but no problem.

I have the same situation here, but I'm not familiar with the procedure.
"boot into twrp without permanently flashing (which you can do with mskips toolkit) and flash the updated 1.51 supersu zip."
could you explain that step by step please?
I install the toolkit - which point to I have to use? and wat is twrp?
What do I have to do, to flash the 1.51 supesu.zip?
Big thanks in advance

Is it not easier to simply use Chainfires CF Auto-Root? A couple of clicks in windows and it's done.
Does Chainfires CF Auto-Root only root not make any changes? I don't want to have to reset the rom back to factory or reinstall all of the apps. If Chainfires CF Auto-Root does just root, cool.
With Mskip's toolkit how do you root? There is no choice for 4.3, just 4.2.2.
Unless I've missed something when installing the OTA using clockwork recovery it asked if I wanted to stop a stock recovery from being reinstalled and if I wanted to keep root. This just seemed to work and gave me 4.3 with custom recovery and root - nothing else needed.

I'd like my hand held too, please. Or at least link to instructions. Thanks.
If anyone wants to actually make a 1,2,3,etc direction list, many people would be grateful.

1. I'm not sure if I have any system changes? Is there an easy way to tell?
2. Running OTA update will only remove Root, not unlocked Bootloader or Custom Recovery (CWM/TWRP)?
Am I following this right? Supposing I have removed any system changes i do the following:
1. Accept OTA
2. After update boot into recovery (Vol Down + Power) --- CWM in my case
3. Flash the 1.51 SuperSU Zip
4. DONE? I'm rooted?

Upgrading TWRP and Root Problem

So basicly I just want to upgrade my TWRP version (from 2.6.3.2 to 2.6.3.3+) in order to flash new kitkat roms.
But I have 2 issues:
1) I have rooted my device and installed TWRP 2.6.3.2 on my LG stock rom, then I wanted to change rom, so I wiped all but internal storage and flashed Beanstalk 4.4.2 + GAPPS. Now it looks like there's a problem with my root access (root checker says that there is a problem and superSU won't install binary updates). Recovery works fine. Do I need to root my phone again or what? Can I just do these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887 all over again?
Edit: Ok, After flashing http://download.chainfire.eu/376/SuperSU/, I just needed to deativate supersu and reactivate it. Now it works just fine!
2) I wanted to upgrade my TWRP using FreeGee, but it looks like the app couldn't load without root access (Issue 1). So can I upgrade it with just doing these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670 all over again?
Sorry for the long questions.
Thanks
Download the zip file for twrp. Boot into recovery and install the zip

I cant root, please HELP!

I flashed TWRP recovery, flashed SuperSu zip throup recovery. Now I have SuperSu app which when opened says Su binary is not installed.
So next I flashed CF Auto Root through odin and again same thing, I have app with same error. I have 910H with Marshmallow. I am tired of searching, I can't root it please help
What Recovery are you using? Make sure its the latest version of TWRP and do NOT use Recovery's root option, when and if it asks to root, select no.
Don't we need to flash a root acceptable kernel 1st, like the Emotion kernel?
Thanks all. I solved it already. I had to flash a kernel first.

About ROOT procedure

Should the phone must be rooted before instalilng CR or ROOT can be install of the trough CR instalation procedure (eg magic). Thanks
Your phone doesn't have to be rooted to install a custom recovery (I assume that's what you mean by CR). However, a custom recovery is required to flash either Magisk or SuperSU.
Flash a custom recovery using Odin first, then boot into recovery and flash the flashable zip containing a superuser management tool of your choice!
