please help

I have Froyo on a non rooted nexus is here a way to unlock and root it it I have been trying but it will not recognize the bootloader. please help .
Thank You

You can unlock it using fastboot, just like you could in 2.1, as far as I know.
From there, flash a different recovery, then use something like this quick rooter:

First of all, wrong forum.
Second of all, you're smart enough to figure out how to put an official firmware that's not released yet on your phone. So please use the search or read the forum stickies.

First of all I did not asked to be flamed just needing help If I made a mistake I am sorry but I thought this was a friendly helpful community or are you the bad apple ?

If you read the forum more, you'll find threads similar to this one, if you don't search no one will help you, especially for this very easy question you're asking.
1. Click on the Nexus One Q&A sub forum, that forum is for asking questions and getting answers.
2. There's a sticky, 3rd one down, it's titled "***Informative Links*** - Read before clicking "New Thread"". Click that, you should get to here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618768
3. Right there on top, 2nd link is "Root the Nexus one Tutorial" with the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612858 Click it.
4. Follow to the directions. If you have issues, ask in that thread.
Helpful enough? LOL

ty very much

Just rooted my phone for the first time.

Ok, first off i'll say i don't have much android knowledge. I did successfully root it following a video. I now have one click lag fix installed. Now, someone please answer these for me
1. Now that its already rooted successfully, is bricking still possible? or is that only something that happens during trying to root.
2. What is a good way to backup everything on my phone? and where do i find it?
3. What are cool apps or widgets to have that can only be used on a rooted phone?
4. Lastly, will someone point me in the direction of a manual or instructions on how to install custom roms and how to get froyo.
Thanks!!

No offense, but did you try searching the forums prior to posting this? All of these questions have been asked and answered many, many times already.

yeah but id really like them answered how i asked them that way i don't **** my phone up because i don't have the most knowledge, i appreciate it though. If you don't mind would you provide some links for me please?

Look at the sticky on the top of the page.

The sticky literally answers your questions in that order. No joke.
And the Dev section has a similar sticky in it when you are good and ready.

All your questions can be answered in the tips and tricks sticky.

How can i root my i9505 S4 Stock , with 4.4.2 version ?

As the title says.
I made a few try outs with tutorial with NO HELP.
Towel (Won't work)
Kingo (Won't work)
CF-AUTO CHAINFIRE (The download section of the site is down,and you can't download the .apk that it wants to flash it via ODIN).
So any new other method ?
Thank you

Are you here all crazy ? I tried to search everything and NONE link was working,and the methods were un-clear most of the threads were dead links,and also some of them were "wrong" so i made the best choice to open a new thread.
Any problem with that ? Do you now what "forum" word means ?Thank you for your time but don't answer if you think something rather than that.

Hi mate
Lots of people here including me offered you our help but you did not take the time to read , search or look out for the solution you need, the idea in all these “posts or forums” is to get feedback from other users, keeping the thread alive is the OP responsibility, keep it alive with valuable inputs, precise questions and not opening multiple threads filling the forum with lots of useless threads, that offer no information to other members who responsibly use the search function.
The threads i offered you are guides and sticky threads
Regards

Okay let's start again from the beggining.
I said on the early start of my thread which things or threads ARE NOT WORKING.
Let's move on,
nunein suggested to a towel root, which i said earlier had a dead link,so I COULDN'T done it.So not working for me.
Let's move on,
Next is Strephon Alkhalikoi which answered that i am blind and i didn't see the link which was there .That wasn't working before.
Let's move on,
Once again.
Then it's Kushan02 , that i giving me a thread with a 404 thread error. Which on the start was working but afterwards was moved.
Then in conclusion , there WAS a lot of answers for me to help me out,which i had ALREADY SEARCHED,and weren't working, so in conclusion i had to find another way out to root my phone.
That's why i tried to open this thread and ask for more opinions and ways,now that i have reported all the threads with the dead links or PM'ed the thread starter for broken links,everything are working good and well, and i have finally rooted my phone via the "re-uploaded" way of TowelRoot & Odin.
Thank you and a happy new year to all with less judgement. :fingers-crossed:

Help needed. Can't update to 2.2.1 because phone is rooted

I rooted the phone and now can't update to the latest version Oxygen 2.2.1 automatically
Is there any way around the problem?

If you have rooted your phone, you probably also have replaced the original recovery with twrp. In that case, just download the 2.2.1 ota zip from the ota thread in this forum and flash it manually in twrp.

Yes there is a way around: search. Because this question has been answered BILLION AND BILLION times. Even if you are a new to XDA, you should know there is rules. You should know there is a search bar located in top right of your screen. There is a index on this forum which gives you link to @Spannaa's thread where he groups all OTA and Stock ROMs + a tutorial to update when you're root. I gave you all information needed.

There is no need to be rude, I actually searched several pages before posting my question, as I was pretty sure the question had most likely been asked before. Certainly don't think it's been asked BILLIONS AND BILLIONS of times.
But thanks for your help, I will be sure to do a more THOROUGH search next time I think about posting

Buddy download the Signed flashable zip - Oxygen OS 2.2.1: OnePlus2Oxygen_14_OTA_012_all_1602261837.zip from the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/rom-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-roms-ota-t3209863
Flash it via twrp or any other customer recovery that you may have. Post that you would have to flash supersu again.

I agree to him, you do not need to be rude, this community is about helping others so it is not a big deal if you typed the solution. If you look at it , it would have taken less less words than the long comments which you posted.

HOW THE HECK COULD YOU NOT FIND IT. You obviously didn't didn't search very hard my son

I concur,no way he searched.. it's always 1 of the 5 under OnePlus 2 general.

The fact that OP had his phone rooted indicates he probably has some basic knowledge of unlocking bootloader, flashing recoveries/ROMs..etc and therefore should be resourceful look up the solution himself be it on XDA or not. The point is with an easy, and somewhat obvious solution to such a common problem (tbh I too had this exact same issue when I first got the phone, but I knew then I had to do a manual flash) surely people will get frustrated when asked.

I agree we are here to help, but come on, a question that has been answered so many times, in many threads, doesn't deserves one more topic. It reminds me the fingerprints problem on CM13 when it didn't work yet: it was about 2 or 3 question about it per page: "is fingerprint working???", "does fingerprint working". Come on, there is search function, so why don't use it ? Imagine if we create a thread every time we have a problem with our device but this problem has already been solved. Imagine state of the forum after all those threads. And yeah, as said above, if this man as his phone rooted, well, I think he has some basics knowledge about OnePlus Two.

I need help after realizing I needed to use windows I was able to install TRWP a least I thought I did. When I went to access it it was not there when I went to reinstall there this is what I get see screen below.
I read in several forum people saying that they had "ignored verification". I looked for that option even in earlier version of the software. And I could not find the answer I am at a loss
Thanks for the help in fixing the mess I creates. LOL

Why are you creating a whole new thread for a question? There is already an EasyRecowvery thread. There is also another section for Q&A.

You could also go into the TWRP channel on Freenode IRC to live chat with people.

This thread is closed because I was told to close it by Mcdavid
