Hi
I want to root my nexus 4 which is on Andriod 5.1.1 build LMY48l
I can't find any root method specific for this build.
Can somebody could help me out ?
Cheers

This guide should still work, only thing is that I would use TWRP recovery instead of CWM recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018179

Does anyone have the flashable grouper OTA zip? I know they are already rooted 4.3 ROMs but I rather use the OTA zip.
Thanks in advance.

Download the factory image from this official link and flash it on your Nexus. Don't forget to backup your data first as flashing it will erase your device completely.

could you tell me the steps that you follow to install the factory image?
Easiest is to use Wugfresh's Nexus Tool Kit.
Otherwise if you're rooted with custom recovery, you can find a flashable version in one of the Dev threads.
Follow the instructions in the OP of either method and all will go well.
Here you go, follow this guide.
Hay guys,

Id recommend never using a toolkit, for so many reasons I've seen; people don't understand what's going on and can't fix errors, they come asking about things that should be basic knowledge, they don't learn anything in the process, and so on - its like giving kids a calculator before they can add.
Anyway rant over, flash this in recovery; http://download.chainfire.eu/365/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.69.zip, and if you need a recovery; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266654

Hello, I've looked around for a solution to this with no joy. I managed to root my note 3 with no problem with cf autoroot only to find that I still had a stock recovery.
I tried other methods also and I just cannot get a custom recovery to flash on my device.
When I try to flash a cwm via Odin it leaves me in a bootloop.
Any ideas?
Its the SM-N9005 Model
Thanks

are you flashing the correct recovery version for your OS version? 4.3 recovery wont work on 4.4.2 and 4.4.2 recovery wont work on 4.3

Tried CWM or TWRP?
Yes i did state that
Sent from my Moto G using xda app-developers app
You mentioned cwm but not twrp ( unless I missed it ). I linked cwm just to make sure you used the one proven to work with 4.4.2 as you didn't mention exactly which one you used and I believe there are other cwm variants ( phil's touch, original cwm ). If my attempt to help isn't appreciated, a simple yes or no would suffice. I know how to read.

hi guys,
sorry, i know there's a few thread where they will guide me through to root my nexus 4. but i'm bit dumb on all these. At this moment, i'm on lollipop 5.0.1 and there's a lot feature are bit annoying, especially turning on & off the mobile data. So after quick google & read on thread, there's one widget can turn on and off easily the mobile data but it needs to root. so i have no choice i have to root my nexus 4.
one of the thread described root for lollipop 5.0 http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/android-5-0-t2939282. can i follow this to root my nexus 4?

Got a used 10, got 4.4.2 on it. KOT49H
Looking to do a full root/unlock/recovery for Cyanogen 13 installation.
Been a few years and am rusty at this.
What's my best route to get this done? I haven't updated yet.
Thanks in advance
I would suggest you perform oem unlock to start with
.
If you wish to root only (without flashing customer recovery), then run the chain fire SuperSu boot image.
If wishing to flash zip files, flash a recovery (TWRP) and installation cm13.

Get Wugfresh toolkit. Does all the work for you.

Thanks. From what I've been reading, I could update to 5.1.1 and still gain full root and an unlocked bootloader
Yep, just remember that when you unlock, all user data is removed.
