How to root Lollipop 5.0.2? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone! I have manually installed Lollipop 5.0.2 in my Nexus 7 wifi but I don't know how to root it. I have been reading in google that to root Lollipop is a little more complicated than KitKat. Can I flash SuperSu from the recovery or I need to flash a custom kernel first?
Thanks!

You should probably try the NRT (Nexus Root Toolkit) by WugFresh. I rooted my tablet in 2 minutes with that!

I know but I don't like the toolkits. I prefer to use fastboot command line.

Geez.
Throw on TWRP with fastboot then use it to flash ChainFire SuperSU update, update the binaries from there.

Ok! I used this method with KitKat. Are you sure that it works in Lollipop too? What about the modified kernel? Is it necessary?
SuperSu v2.45 is ok?
Thanks!

Worked for me. Shouldn't affect the kernel you already have.
Don't know what chainfires current version is.
Or you could try CF Autoroot.
I used UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.37.zip but there's probably a later one by now.

i cant update my device coz the system detects that my device has been rooted though i already unroot it in the SuperSU app as stated on the One Click root thread.
Flashed with flash tool over 20h on a phone from VDF Romania. All went well, nothing spectacular to report works and seems as snappy (or choppy) as 20H was. Needs some settling in to decide but guess there are improvements (or slowdowns) somewhere there deep in the code.
hi can someone confirm the baseband version on their about .
i just flashed the modem only and i want to confirm it went ok.
many thanks
so whats new ? any news for when we will get the 5.1 SW -_-

You do not need root to install with KDZ files numerous guides to do it on the forums with a quick search.
the most important change is voLTE support, at least here in italy

FWIW... I purchased my phone on June 19, and was able to root it the next day using CF-Auto-Root by exactly following the directions in chainfire's thread. (It did trip Knox, but that wasn't a concern for me.)
Today I successfully installed Philz Recovery version 6.58.9 via Odin 3.07, exactly following the directions in this post from the main philz thread, and it worked fine.
There were a few mis-steps in the process where the root or recovery didn't "take" properly, but in each case it turned out I'd done something wrong in Odin - used the wrong file or left a box checked/unchecked.
Phone specs:
SM-G900W8 on Rogers
Build number LRX2IT.G900W8VLU1BOC1
Kernel version 3.4.0-4100894
Android version 5.0 stock (no upgrades applied before applying root or recovery)
So there may be hope for you?

Successfully flashed TWRP 2.870.
Had to remove battery during reboot, reinserted it and directly entered recovery. works fine.

If I don't care about systemless, which SuperSU for Marshmallow?

I don't have any need for systemless root, but in reading the SuperSU threads, several versions are not working right with Marshmallow. Problem is, it is unclear which versions or if its the systemless part that is broken on marshmallow or the normal SuperSU or whatever else. So I was wondering, if I just want to flash normal SuperSU, what version (and a link if possible) is working with Marshmallow?
If its relevant, XT1575 64GB currently trying to get TruPure 2.2 working but having a lot of problems with Xprivacy and boot loops.
Thanks!
Both work fine for me
if you are not systemless, beta 2.64 works just fine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64161125&postcount=3
Thanks Naddict! I just flash it in TWRP like always?
i am using truepurex 2.1 as i dont care for Android pay and i didnt update further because there is no need.
no boot loops. didnt wipe just updated over 5.1 and xposed working too

Hey i am also confused by reading so many different threads. I just want to know which version works with MM.
Currently i am on stock L (rooted+xposed) on my xt1572 indian retasia_ds.
I am gonna flash ota then flash the latest twrp by hashbang and then boot in twrp and if TWRP asks to keep /system read-only, i'll keep read only. And then will flash supersu and xposed cause i guess now there is no need to flash modified boot.img
So i am really confused which supersu to flash, some say 2.62-3 is working and some say it's not. So should i flash 2.62-3 or 2.64
Also please confirm there is no need to flash modified boot_img
sorry asking so many question because i want to avoid flashing firmware for which i have to wipe the device completely

if you use 2.62 or higher you do not need to flash anything other than that. No boot.img file or anything else. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64161125

I followed the instructions on that post, keeping TWRP read only and flashing the 2.64 zip and now a ton of system processes are crashing and my sim isn't recognized. Is there a more stable version for the X Pure? This is a fresh MM install, so it shouldn't be conflicting with anything.

Did you wipe caches? Which ROM did you install? Did you ignore the "install su" while in twrp?
Same for me, after stock MM upgrade, I installed latest supersu beta 2.64, also did wipe both caches, after rebooting there was ton of services just FC's.

SuperSU isn't working great for our device for root access so that's why it's stuck where it's at. Read up here http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...rom-stock-rooted-debloated-x1575-6-0-t3262242 and restore your phone and install one of these backups and do not use SuperSU to root for now.

Sure does! I also just read that... But this way is a safer bet for people that don't wanna mess with flashing multiple files. I myself just want a systemless root with stock recovery which I have obtained finally. Problem is LOTS of posts in these forums are giving different instructions and there is no clear method for everyone unless you end up reading the proper one first.

Rooting Moto G4 XT1622 running Nougat 7.0

Has anyone successfully, and without subsequent issues, rooted the g4 XT1622?
I have unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP. Have tried flashing two separate versions of Super SU (version 2.78 and 2.82) .
Each appears to flash successfully and complete but when rebooting phone stays on a black screen.
I then have to reboot into recovery and restore the Nandroid backup.
I tried Kingroot but that says no solution for this device.
If anyone has managed it I'd be grateful for the detail.

Indeed you are correct. The stock kernel does not have an exploit for root access, that's why SuperSU and Magisk leave you at a black screen upon flashing the zip file. Having any custom kernel should fix the problem(Vegito or ElementalX).

Thanks - I may be trying to do something wrong but when I tried to flash ElementalX from the app it returned a message that the device needed to be rooted to install ElementalX. I wasn't sure where to go from there.
yes, i am running rooted G4 (xt1622) with TWRP and super su 2.78 now. as far as I can remember, there is one line of code like 'systemless=true' (or something similar, it's easy to search online) to enter via the Linux terminal. Then it can be rooted successfully. without that line, i got a soft-bricked mogo g4 as well (black screen forever).
it's a shame that the rooted phone cannot install OTA updates at all. I am still on Android 6.0.1 (which is the stock rom and very old). I am planning to restore to stock then upgrade to Nougat recently.

I really appreciate your great help. still confused about the procedure that needs to take:
plan a:
1. go back to ATHENE_MPJ24.139.23.4(the current one, 6.0.1), everything including the stock recovery
2. wait for OTA, update a couple times to the latest nougat
plan b:
1. flash the file from your link which is ATHENE_NPJS25.93-14-4,
2. is this the end?
I do notice the difference in the name: MPJ vs. NPJS, does that matter? I flashed several phones, but never figure out what the names meant.

MPJ = Marshmallow
NPJS = Nougat
I think flashing last firmware is the best thing to do in your case. I have a batch file you can use if you want

Note: You do need minimal adb & fastboot files inside flashing folder (You probably already know that but just to be sure)
