Hi all!
I want to install CyanogenMod 12.1 by Unjustified Dev on my Mojo and root it.
What I want to achieve: Scaling down the screen with screenshift (etc.) as my ancient hd ready tv has no option to do it on itself and has really bad overscan.
I was able to root the stock rom with the mmm³ method. But screen resizing won't work in any app, because the stock rom is based on 4.4.2.
So I installed CyanogenMod 12.1 through TWRP. I tried with both openrecovery-twrp-2.8.2.0-mojo.img and twrp-2.8.7.0-mojo.img. When I boot into CyanogenMod 12.1, root is gone. The root checker apps tell me, that su is there but there is no root access. SuperSU tells me that i have to root the device manually after upgrading to 4.3 (in this case: above 4.3). And of course, TowelRoot doesn't work either.
Please help. I'm feeling very dumb right now.
EDIT: And yes, I have activated root access for Apps & ADB in the developer options.
Aaaaargh, I forgot to install the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip .
Okay, please close this thread. Thank you.

I've been away from modding since I mistakenly bought the verizon gs5 (G900V) and saw that there wasn't even a way to root it. I started looking around again and saw that towelroot now works for the G900V. Now that I've rooted, I can't seem to find one unified thread to installing a good recovery, and flashing a ROM. Ideally, I'd like a step-by-step on how to install CWM-Touch and then CyanogenMod CM12.
Would anyone be able to give me that step-by-step?
Install Busybox first

Run it, and install as directed.
Then use this to install TWRP Recovery

You'll remember the flashing custom steps once you have a custom recovery Im sure, if not, reply here
This is probably outside the scope of my original question, but will the cm12 kltevsw nightlies flash to my G900V correctly after installing TWRP?
I'm not asking about stability, just that whether it would install properly.
You'd have to check compatibility of any custom ROM for your model S5, in that ROMs thread
Fair enough. I guess a better question I should've started with is this: Does the busybox and TWRP install allow me to use AOSP Roms?

So long as your device is supported for the custom ROM you want to flash, then yes, TWRP will allow you to flash anything custom
Busybox is only needed for TWRP manager app, in order to flash TWRP in the first place, you can remove it once you have TWRP if you want
Hi guys!
I am a Yureka user. Yesterday I updated the phone with latest CM nightly build and lost root privileges, now i am not able to root it again.
SU update method doesn't work any longer nor does the root access in developer options.
I flashed this updte using custom recovery (CWM).
Please guide me how to retain root after this update and also if i need to be on stock recovery.
Thank you!!!
Hi guys,
thank you very much for the wonderful job everybody is doing here.
I have been using cyanogenmod 12.1 with parrotmod for a while now, with extreme pleasure.
I now would like to try out the new 12.1 compiled with uber toolkit and I was reading the PARROTMOD thread that advised to have the latest supersu installed first.
REQUIRES LATEST SUPERSU INSTALLED FIRST http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu-stable
EVEN IF YOUR ROM HAS BUILT IN ROOT LIKE CYANOGENMOD, TURN IT OFF IN SETTINGS, THEN FLASH SUPERSU!!

How can i do that? Where do I "turn it off"?
Do I have to
* flash cm 12.1 plus gapps
* initialize everything
* "turn off root"
* reboot to recovery
* flash SuperSU (I suppose in systemless mode, but I don't know, the installer should know what to do)
* flash PARROTMOD
Is it correct?
I have had difficulties to undertand the workings of this new "built-in" root access. Do I have to simply flash SuperSU over the freshly flased ROM? And why so? Isn't root "built-in"?
I already tried this on a Droid4, but the installer always spat out "failed" as last message. In any case installing SuperSU via Google Play always yelded a "you have to update the SuperSU binary" message.
Help. thanks
I think that "turn off root" in CM is in developer option (7-8 tap on build number). Procedure ordering is OK.

I found out what the author was talking about. Most cyanogen mod Roma have built-in SuperSU. In order to have Parrot Mod working you have to start the ROM, go to apps, settings, DISABLE SuperSU, restart to recovery, flash SuperSU, flash Parrot Mod and you're good to go. I'm going to put SOLVED on the post
Hey guys!
Recently, I flashed CM13 on my old Zenfone 5 (20160906) and when I try to flash SuperSU, it says that SuperSU cannot find the boot image to patch.
No matter which edition of it I try to flash, it keeps giving the same error. Can anyone help me out on this one?
Thanks in advance! :laugh:
You dont have to flash SuperSU. CyanogenMod is pre-rooted. Enable root from developer options
I specifically requested for SuperSU. I'm already using the CM's internal root but it's clunky and doesn't work as reliably.
No need to flash SuperSU. Just enable CM root in Developer Options and install SuperSU from Play Store.
Hi !
I would like to install Paranoid Android but I have a question about root.
If I root my phone and that I install Paranoid Android (with bootloader unlock & twrp ofc), will my telephone always be root ?
Thanks for your help !
No, you have to root again because Paranoid Android comes without root by default. But you can easily root your phone if you use Meticulus' TWRP, after flashing the ROM and the GApps, do not reboot yet and go to Advanced -> Extra -> SuperSU and you will root your device
Ok thanks but do I have to reboot between the ROM and the gapps ?
No, flash ROM+GApps+SuperSU then reboot.
Ok, thanks a lot =)
