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!!!
How to Root a G2 which has TWRP installed?
Hi there!
I'm a beginner and I would be grateful if you could help me with this.
While trying to install CyanogenMod, I rooted my G2 using ioroot and then install Autorec. At this point I made a mistake and recover KitKat stock with Autorec, loosing root privileges. Now when I try to root using ioroot, the device shows me the TWRP menu.
I am stuck here. How could I root and install CyanogenMod????
Thanks a lot!!! Please let me know if this is not the right place for asking this in the forum.
Hi,
I think you can download flashable SuperSu and flash it via TWRP.

Hi @TwinHeadedEagle, thanks a lot for your reply. I installed SuperSu through GooglePlay, after being installed it requested to make some modifications through TWRP, which it successfully did. At this point I was wondering wether I actually had root access or not to my device, so I decided to install Root Checker. This last one says that 'Root access is properly installed on this device'.
So I guess that I am root and I can with 'Installing CyanogenMod from recovery' as it is showed at https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_d802.
Am I right?
Root is not required to install CM, only a custom recovery.
I have a d802. It was running stock Lollipop with no root. I installed a custom recovery (TWRP) and was able to flash CM12.1, Cloudy, and Orion.

Thanks @audit13! At first I was exceptional about using customs roms, but It certainly has given new life into my D802. I find very sad that companies do not work for keeping our devices updated, It is a way of planned obsolescence. My D802 has more than enough hardware for what I use it and now that I have managed to update it (without the help of LG) it is like having a brand new phone!
Thanks to all the xda-developers community!

Hello people, unfortunately I have no time to read this big forum in order to get the informations I'm asking for in this thread, so I hope you understand and could contribute giving me the infos, it won't take much time. So here are the questions:
(before you proceed, I'm at the moment, using stock 5.0.2 ROM, unrooted, in my d802)
1. Should I flash CM 12.1 over Lollipop stock ROM or it's better to go back to KitKat stock ROM before?
2. What's the best method to root d802?
3. In order to get CM 12.1 I should: root -> install twrp bumped -> flash CM12.1 -> flash gapps. Is that right?
Thank you in advance
ypu need to read..we all did at some point.. but click on my signature where it says HERE and it will take you to guides how to's and fixes loo at root and use what ever workd for you.. remeber to use only d802 files. for you d802. and have in mind you may have a refurbished phone.. sometimes they say d802 when motherboard is d800-ls980...
root.. the install autorec from playstore.. install twrp... search for thermal twrp from blastagator and update that twrp to the thermal one.
also flash hybridbootstacks for your variant.. install in twrp... then reboot twrp not to system but from twrp into twrp again to take effect.. then flash rom and gapps.
Question..is it a must that he updates to thermal twrp from the Auto rec version twrp 2.8? Is it because of the "bump"..not sure what that is
Guys is that possible to root without flashing twrp recovery? Some says it's possible with magisk manager app which does not require custom recovery. I tried with kingroot but failed... Kindly help on this because I don't want to flash custom roms but I need root.

It's impossible as you can see kingroot was also failed. You need an unlocked device with a custom installed.

1. its impossible to root without custom recovery
2. Magisk needs custom recovery
3. I have never had any luck in rooting any of my phones using king-root. it will not work on Xiaomi Rn3 or Rn4. not sure about other device
4. Custom ROM is different and Custom recovery is different, - To root you NEED custom recovery. Custom ROM can only be installed after rooting and its purely your choice.
Hope my answer helped. Feel free to get back if any doubts
You can temporarily boot into twrp and install root if you have unlocked bootloader

Indeed. With fastboot, you can boot into a local (ie, on your PC) copy of TWRP
Code:
fastboot boot mytwrp.img

1. Go here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re.../official-orangefox-recovery-project-t3807479
2. Follow the steps in numbers 1, 5, 6, and 8, in the "B. INSTALLATION - if you have stock miui Recovery" section (if you only want to boot, but not to flash TWRP).
Is there a way to install magisk for rooting the phone without having the custom recovery? Maybe from adb fastboot? For the moment, I'm not interested in having a custom recovery however I would like to root my phone.. are there any methods?

No
You can root phone but also you must have TWRP.
You will have stock rom rooted with twrp.
