Hi all
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I am looking for a way to root I9505, but not using CF-Autoroot in Odin.
I know it can be done through adb shell.
Does anyone know a good guide?
Can it this be also done for TWRP recovery?
Thanks

No it cannot be done trough adb.
Maybe through the custom recovery. There should be an option somewhere. But i'm not sure it works.
I don't understand why you wouldn't use cf root though.
If I were to guess, he's trying to avoid tripping Knox. If that's the case he knows what to do if he searches for it.

I've been searching the forums and the rest of the net looking for a how to root a Nexus 7 without using a toolkit (using fastboot/adb instead). I'm in the process of learning as much as I can about the operating system itself but haven't gotten to the point yet where I know how to root a device on my own.
What I'm wondering is:
1. All the guides on rooting the N7 include flashing a custom recovery, then SuperSU, so on and so forth. Is there any way to avoid having to flash CWM or TWRP to root an N7?
2. Is there any where I can learn how to root my device without a toolkit?
If I've somehow missed an obvious thread on the subject, I apologize.

Flashing SuperSu is very simple with TWRP.
1. Install Fastboot (and adb)
2. Go here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/103
3. Download the latest image (at time of writing, 2.6)
4. Open up the terminal (Unix/Linux) or command prompt (windows)
4.1 (If you haven't unlocked bootloader, you will need to type "fastboot oem unlock". WARNING! THIS ERASES ALL DATA
5. Type "fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img" and replace recoveryfilename.img with the name of the image downloaded.
6. Install SuperSu

If you aren't keen on unlocking bootloader, see this thread here. It is, however, a glitchy, no good (IMHO) method which could brick your nexus and may not be compatible with all android versions.
Also, be warned, my instructions aren't bulletproof, you might be better following instructions from one of the many threads about rooting/unlocking bootloader of the nexus 7, incase of typo/stupidity on my behalf! Here is one thread for CWM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1741395
Do I need TWRP or CWM in order to root though? Or can you still root with stock recovery?

You would need custom recovery but you don't have to flash it permanently. You can use the command 'fastboot boot recovery nameofrecovery.img'
It will merely boot the device into a temporary custom recovery for you to root it.

Aha, and there we have it. Finally clicked. I'm positive someone must have said the same thing but in a different way. Thanks for the info!

Not a guide, but two simple steps would be to:
1) Root your tab, if you are not already rooted. Motochopper works for this. Plenty of info on motochopper on this forum.
2) Easy way to install CWM (although I prefer TWRP) is to download the app Goomanager. From there you can download CWM and install it. You will probably need busybox installed also, which you can download from the play store and install yourself. If you prefer TWRP an easy way to install that is to download the app System Tuner. Google how to install TWRP via Terminal Emulator. There are guides on how to do this. Pretty easy. I don't have handy links but google is your friend.
3) Alternatives are to use ADB to install/flash CWM or TWRP. If you used motochopper you should know how to use ADB. I couldn't get TWRP to work via ADB for some reason on this particular tf300, so I installed TWRP via Terminal Emulator (using the terminal emulator that the app System Tuner comes with). That worked, and was fairly easy and straightforward.
Good luck.
i never get a USB icon (as your instructions state). The only icons I see are RCK, Android and Wipe Data.
i have tried motochoper but it doesnt seem to work although it says it exists.. when i ran it multiple times. i downloaded rootchecker and it says its not rooted.
I want to know if there is a easier way to get a recovery on my phone without using my pc? I have never used ADB it just seems to complicated. Please help as I want to root and install recovery.
Thanks

It's pretty bulletproof, install driver, double click the batch phone, plug in phone, press y and then enter, wait. TWRP is installed, can flash custom ROM now or root using a flashable su binary like this one http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
I wouldn't be afraid of ADB, the only use I had for adb was pushing over the image of Loki and TWRP with adb push, and with rooting, look at "IOroot".

I too had not used adb in the past until this phone. I don't know why I never wanted to use it, but it is pretty simple to use. As long as you follow the directions in the threads for installing twrp or cwm and make sure to do exactly as they say you should be fine. Since there are a few versions of this phone just make sure you are getting the right recovery for your phone
You could use your phone to download the recovery image (TWRP) and use flashify (found in the play store) to flash the image. It's quick and easy.
I used flashifly and works easily. My only question when I used flashifly with art image does it come with loki installed with it. And if so will flashifly take me right into recovery to flash New roms?
Thanks

UsingRom Manager or Flashify is not really recommended. Who knows what version you are getting of whatever you are trying to flash. Better to use the simple adb commands and .bat script with loki to properly install a recovery with loki built in and to get root installed.
I used Flashify to install TWRP and I do not know if it is a Flashify or TWRP issue but the backups I do in TWRP has dates at 1970 and the times are about 6 hours and 15 minutes off. Does anyone know if this is a TWRP or Flashify issue?
Trying to decide if I should use adb to install TWRP on my G2.

That's a TWRP issue.
Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.
Does anyone know of a zip file to unroot from recovery?
I need to be able to flash new roms and unroot immediately before reboot (otherwise Good For Enterprise gets locked) so SuperSU's full unroot functionality isn't an option.
I would really be grateful if anyone could point me to such a zip, I have one that seems rather inefficient...
Thanks!
