Hi folks!
Where find I one SuperSU.zip file to root my device through ADB SIDELOAD (stock recovery)?
My device:
- Boot loader LOCKED;
- UNroot;
- 4.4.3 stock.
I don't wanna install a custom recovery neither unlock the boot loader.
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.

To flash the super su zip you need a custom recovery, for that you need to unlock the bootloader. You can find it by Google "supersu zip file xda"

Yes, you'll still get the ota. But, unlocking the bootloader will wipe your device

You can just boot into the custom recovery
fastboot boot recovery.img. You'll just boot into and not install it. Once you boot into it flash supersu. You're retain the stock recovery. You can then re-lock the bootloader if you want.
Oh, as an fyi, when you take an ota you do lose root so you may want to consider leaving the bootloader unlocked so you don't have to wipe your device again after the ota if you want to root it again

Hey jed1639,
Is it possible to adb sideload the superSu.zip file on a galaxy S6 with Android 6.0 beta and encrypted mememory on it? Because, if I try to install the .zip file via the given Custom Recovery (PhilZ touch recovery) then I get the following error:
E: Can't mount /sdcard
This frustrates me. Could you help me?
Edit: Fixed! It works

Yes.
Download supersu binaries and put on internal storage
unlock - fastboot oem unlock
Download and boot a custom recovery - fastboot boot recovery.img
Flash the supersu binaries and reboot
Note unlocking the bootloader will wipe your data.
By using fastboot boot recovery.img you will leave the stock recovery on your phone so it will not interfere with any ota updates

Hey everyone.
I want to root 4.3 but I dont want to install CWM or TWR or another custom recovery. I want to keep stock recovery so I can directly update from Google when 4.4 is released.
Is there any way I can root without having a custom recovery?
Thanks for the help.

Yes, you can root without flashing a custom recovery. The first step is to obtain root access. The next step of installing a custom recovery (i.e. CWM or TWRP) is to flash ROMs and Kernels. You can just stop at ROOT.
FYI - There are stock and very close to stock ROMs available. Once Android 4.4 is released by Goggle, it does not take long (1-2 days) before people have the 4.4 available for flashing especially for the stock or close to stock ROMs. The more customized ROMs may take a little longer to have Android 4.4 ported into their ROMs.

The command posted "fastboot boot boot.img" would boot your device once into a custom recovery without actually installing the recovery. From there, you can use the one-time booted recovery to install a root zip.
Yes.
I'm unlocked and rooted on the latest 4.3. N10 is so fast I don't feel the need for a custom rom at this present time.
N-Cry tool kit was the easiest I tried.

First you need to download the latest supersu. Then you need to download a custom recovery from here: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.5-manta.img
Place it on your C: drive.
Then go to fastboot and type:
Fastboot boot recovery C:/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.5-manta.img
Then select recovery with the volume buttons and press the power button.
In recovery flash the latest supersu you downloaded.
! Wipe cache and dalvik cache !
Reboot.
You're now rooted and still have the stock recovery.

EDIT: I tried following your instructions but didnt manage to boot into the custom recovery. Maybe Im missing some step in cmd.

Doesn't that require you to unlock your bootloader first? (and therefore wipe everything from the N10)
I originally rooted my N10 (running 4.2.2) using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003938 without unlocking the bootloader first...
No idea if it works on 4.3 or not, though...

Will any of these methods work for the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4, or are there any other ways? I want to gain root and upgrade when updates come out as well, but we have no custom recovery yet for the Tab 4. I wonder if I could fast boot with the custom recovery for Tab 3 if it will work?

After youve unlocked it to root. So you still lose your data the first time you unlock it.
In thread in my country , I saw tut for unlock boot loader without lose data in first time In nexus 10 I think in nexus 7 2013 work too but I did not test it yet.
the method is
1. Put recovery image to sdcard.
2. Download
http://download.chainfire.eu/372/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip
Save to sdcard
3. Boot to bootloader and use command
fastboot boot recovery.img
4. Install zip file for root
5. Reboot
6. Install BootUnlocker and Open
You can unlockboot loader without lose data

yep, I installed it too...
however one important thing you should not forget (copy/past from a review) :
"Works great but be careful Once you have unlocked and rooted your phone this app works great to lock the bootloader again. But use caution when updating OTA. I allowed an OTA update to Android 4.4.2 while locked and I lost root access (expected) but because I didn't unlock before the update, I am now locked without a way to unlock unless I wipe the phone. Great app. Just make sure you know what it does and how to use it."
--> unlock before to apply an OTA
Hello,
Is it possible to update from 5.0 to 5.1 if i have unlocked the bootloader? I also have TWRP. I downloaded the 5.1 update, but when i want to install it the phone reboots and i get into TWRP menu. Is there any way to flash the OTA update without losing my current data on the phone?
Thank you!
Dealing with the same problem here.
IIRC TWRP automatically handled OTA updates in the past but it doesn't seem to be working anymore.
What was the procedure you were using before? You just installed as a normal zip from TWRP ?
For the ota to work you have to be 100% stock system, recovery, and kernel. I'd just flash the system and boot images from 5.1 in fastboot to update.

Not if you just flash the System and Boot images and remove -w from the Flashall.bat command to prevent the wipe instead of using the OTA. If you use the OTA, you will have to be stock as the previous posted stated, which since you are rooted with a custom recovery, would require you to flash the stock image, wiping your device, before you could run the OTA. This is the result of a change in the way Android 5.+ authenticates, which is why it worked previously. It now checks the whole partition, and one byte out of place will abort it.
That said, you can always backup your phone (which is a good thing to do anyway before flashing/upgrading) to prevent data loss.
Edit: Actually, thinking about it, I think Wugs added a No Wipe option to his toolkit, just flash System and Boot images from there is likely easiest for you.
Can i flash 5.1 directly ? And then root and unlock bootloader/flash TWRP again ?

To be clear, you do not need to relock your bootloader. You can just flash 5.1 and then root and install a custom recovery like TWRP again, yes. If you are not familiar, Wug's NRT make this a breeze. Once you get 5.1 installed, just hit root. It will install the latest TWRP version and root/install SuperSU and Busybox for you.
I need to download the whole 5.1 image from Google. And flash just like any other ROM from TWRP ?

Been looking through the root guide and of course will be unlocking and rooting. Should I first unlock, flash TWRP, load stock. Set up stock with my accounts and settings. Reboot to TWRP. Make NAND back up. Then root and then flash a rom? I'm still confused about the library IMG file. Will I need to do anything with it assuming the phone I receive was manufactured within the last 2 months?
Any other tips/suggestions would be much appreciated.

If you plan on unlocking bootloader, do that first. Device has to be wiped clean when doing so.
update to the March MHC19I update before modifying the system partition. It'll save you the headache of doing it via fastboot and re-rooting.

Unlock bootloader then upgrade to latest FW by OTA (or vice versa?), then flash TWRP and nandroid. Now root.
Great. I hope the OTA will pop up as soon as possible or is there a way to manually search for updates through system settings? By the way, thank you everyone.

Unlock your bootloader, then take the OTA(s) to the latest build (MHC19I). You can't take an OTA with TWRP installed so don't flash that first. If for some reason the OTA doesn't appear you can just flash the factory images for the latest build in order to update. Once you're fully up to date you can flash TWRP and make a nandroid backup. Then just flash whatever ROM you want to use. Keep in mind that after flashing the ROM + gapps you also need to flash the appropriate vendor image to suit the build of the ROM you're flashing. You can flash it with fastboot, or use the "install image" option in bottom-right corner of the install menu in TWRP (TWRP can flash some images now).
I have detailed instructions in my guide:
