Thanks for reading. When I received my phone a week ago, I was burnt twice before when flashing CF Autoroot and then PhilZ via Odin and wouldn't get past the logo, so I flashed TWRP and it was a nightmare just to get into recovery. I gave up and used KIES to go back to stock.
So, in as simple an explanation as possible, please can you tell me how to install a root kernel onto stock 5.0 build BOD3 so I don't lose anything?
Thank you very much?

Thanks for that condescending reply. The dev section is such a mess, there's no organisation whatsoever and if I wanted to flash an entire new ROM, I would, but I don't.
Hence my request.
Which Device?
Sent From Nexus 6
Galaxy S5 SM-G900F
Lollipop 5.0
Build LRX21T.G900FXXU1BOD3
Have you tried installing the custom recovery using the TWRP MANAGER app? Worked for me!
It on PlayStore

it wasn't a condescending reply, it just seemed that way.
firstly, if you can concentrate the dev sections aren't that bad, secondly no one mentioned rom flashing at all. ever. in fact you never even explained what you needed to flash recovery for.
i was offering you the chance to hunt for the answer like we had to but since you need the help ill give it
this thread for twrp
TWRp is what i use to flash stuff if i want to and it works fine but if you want philz then all you have to do is go here go to klte and download the odin version, then flash via a pc
the problem you had was because the odin chainfire root is slightly ****y an you need the recovery flashable version. so you put philz or twrp in the phone and flash the chainfire root via the recovery,
now i apologies if you thought that i was being condescending but i got all that info from the place i pointed you to earlier, theres no reason you couldnt have done it aswell. i was trying to help by pointing you in a direction, but no ones here to spoon feed. you dont learn anything from it.
Apologies, as it seemed that way, but you have been helpful in your reply.
So I can flash this TWRP > https://dl.twrp.me/klte/twrp-2.8.7.0-klte.img.tar.html. Does flashing TWRP give me SuperSu or is that something separate I need to install?
I don't expect to be spoon-fed, I like to learn things, but this stuff is so delicate that I want to make sure I'm using the right files.
Thanks in advance.

no twrp is a recovery, a custom recovery which makes it easier to flash non official firmwares. install twrp via odin, then flash the chainfire root via twrp flashing, the chainfire flash root will gove you super su
As it happens, TWRP installed SuperSU automatically.
Alright, so - I just got my hands on a Note 3 from a friend in Canada, aaaand naturally the first thing I wanna do with it is root it and stick a ROM on it. But most of the guides I've come across are somewhat outdated, and I'm a little hesitant to follow an outdated guide in case there's a mismatch of some sort with the kernel, bootloader, etc. I really don't wanna brick the thing the same day I get it.
It's on Build Number LRX21V.N900W8VLU2DOH1, Android 5.0/Lollipop, kernel 3.4.0-4348112. Reactivation Lock is off in settings. Again, it's a Canadian phone, and I believe the original carrier was Telus (it's not unlocked but he's going to get me the unlock code later today, supposedly)
I looked through the CF-AutoRoot list and I don't see this particular version available, but I think I saw in a thread on here that other AutoRoot packages will work with it.
I'm not totally clueless here, I've fiddled with my Galaxy S3 plenty and managed not to brick it, but I'd rather look before I leap.
Flash twrp 2.8.7.1 via Odin and then flash supersu via twrp.

Sweet. Do I have anything to worry about with flashing roms, KNOX, etc.?
Flashing twrp will trip the Knox counter and supersu will disable Knox.

Alrighty. I'm not too worried about the Knox counter as long as that doesn't have any bad implications for the device (no rom flashing or something), I'm certainly not gonna be claiming any warranties.
You need to flash twrp if you want to install a custom rom.
Yup, done, SuperSU's installed and root appears to work! Thanks for the advice. Now I just need to figure out why the back button stopped working. I read there's some custom kernel that fixes this.
EDIT: Yeah, idleKernel fixed the back button.

idleKernel is sorta defunct nowadays, I think, but I think I've found a mirror for you here: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/0By1qJV6BVww0NHRfX2tzNjJLWEE
If you have an N900W8, you want hlte-can. Honestly, though, it's been so long since I used idleKernel that I'm not 100% sure this is compatible with stock OH1 - best to make a backup with TWRP first.

If you want my advice -
1. Install TWRP 2.8.7.0 (use 2.8.7.0, not 3.x, because 3.x is incompatible with a lot of installers in case you want a custom ROM later on) using Odin (volume down + home when powering on to access download mode for Odin)
2. Make a backup from TWRP (hold volume up + home key when powering on, then choose Backup and check everything, make sure you have room on your microSD card)
3. Install SuperSU from recovery
4. Install idleKernel using the zip file from recovery
That should get you rooted with no issues, and if there's any problem you have a backup to restore from.
Why do you just want to root and install TWRP ??
To do backup
But if you know a good custom rom please send a link to me
Custom rom you want one that works well on your specific model.

I have root and install twrp yet
I posted here this past Sunday and got a response. However, I haven't been able to find my recent post since then. Was it deleted by accident? What's up, I just don't know...
Here it is again:
So my gf has an s5 that she kept from Verizon as she switched over to T-Mobile. It has an egregious amount of bloatware on it, but everything works fine: from radio to data, from calling to you name it. Thing is, she can't download anymore apps onto it and the "apps to SD" method provided by the Verizon stock ROM only does so much justice (limitations indeed).
I took it upon myself to attempt rooting the device with no avail. An SM-900V towards a custom TMO ROM, but how?
I tried towelroot, KingMethod, Odin, etc... no luck.
Before I go even further and risk creating a paperweight in the process, could anyone give me more insight into the best and/or successful method into rooting. :good: cheers.
(and thank you to that unknown person for spitballing me an idea... I tried... but the device failed over Odin)
Install twrp for klte with Odin. Twrp will root the phone. The first time you boot into restore mode, and then Reboot system it will ask you if you would like to install Su. Just click yes, and you are rooted

Wait, really? There's not need to unlock anything else, or flash/load something else? I mean, I've read that you can't unlock the bootloader and shouldn't flash a bootloader or radio, but to go straight for twrp and then a new ROM afterward? Or twrp, then boot into system? or download then flash ROM via Odin?
So I have the latest Odin (or do I need an earlier one?). It detects the phone, but I'll try to go straight to TWRP tonight and see how it goes. :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed:
Going to use the latest TWRP from here :highfive:
I'll let you know how it goes.
Thank you for replying, btw I'll click the button :victory:
Good luck!
Hey all.
I'm in need of a bit of help. I have a J5 and was getting sick of being told theres never any space to install apps, so I rooted it hoping to be able to remove the stock apps that come inbuilt like word, excel etc.... Anyway, I then decided to take it a step further and try and install a custom rom, long story short, im stuck with a green screen
I've been googling and following tutorials for hours now and I'm really at the point of giving up, so thought I would reach out incase i'm just over tired from it all and making silly mistakes.
I have TWRP 3.1.1-0 on my phone, I installed Lineage 14.1 figured out how to change the updater-script, green screen. I then installed a stock rom advanced I found here, green screen. I tried Aokp nightly nougat, green screen. After googling green screen I found a post saying its something to do with incompatibility from TWRP and that I need to install lollipop 5.1.1 firmware first before I can change to lilneage 14.1... Ive been googling for ages and I'm either coming to sites that want me to pay to download it at a reasonable speed or wait for hours. I'm a bit dubious as no other rom seems to have worked and I'm not sitting here with an empty phone.
Thanks.

Flashing LP / MM / N ROMs based on AOSP/LOS over stock MM/ROMs based on stock MM --> green screen.
How to flash MM/N ROMs based on AOSP/LOS:
1) Install 5.1.1 stock firmware.
2) Install TWRP 5.1.1 (Nick's or Vince's).
3) Flash the MM/N ROM you want.

Most of the roms comes with root. In case it doesnt have root, you flash it after flashing the ROM.

So... I wanted to remove audioFx as I have no need for it, I had to root again... I tried the same root that I used originally but made it so it kept getting stuck on lineage boot screen and gave me no response on trying to boot to recovery. Any idea what went wrong?
Back to lineage again without root.

Did you flash the official SuperSU module from the lineage site?
No, I used Odin with the cf autoroot for my device.
I had problems with cf auto root, particularly the green screen on boot,try flashing the supersu from their site.
Tried it, used first one on the site, installed okay but can't see the su app anywhere, then tried the x86 version in case but wouldn't install.
Oh never mind, had to enable dev mode and enable root for apps and adb first, there is no actual app. I ran another app and it asked for root permission.

Hello everyone !
I currently have a H870 european LG g6.
I want to root my phone but I don't want to install TWRP.
I want the lightest and "as stock as possible" way to root.
Is it possible? Thanks a lot for your help !
Your NEED to unlock bootloader. Then ADB to root.
Why not have twrp installed? Great for backup restoring flashing latest root list goes on.
If you want a rom which is 'stock as possible' install Fulmics rom. You do need to unlock your bootloader and use TWRP to install the rom tho'.

?? He just wants root. Nothing else. No ROM.
Aight if you don't want any rom, you still got to unlock your bootloader cause you need to install TWRP to install magisk or supersu. Which root app do you prefer?
I have the US997 and want something similar. I want to root the stock rom with Magisk and still be able to take an OTA. Ideally, unlock, flash TWRP, root, and then flash back stock recovery. This is possible correct?

Yea you can do that. You can keep the stock rom if you want but you will need to flash TWRP to install magisk. Magisk comes with a .zip file which only can be installed with TWRP.

Nope, you always need a custom recovery to flash SuperSu or Magisk.
Anyway, why you don't want the custom recovery? You can always remove it by flashing the stock one.

Zefie's TWRP doesn't have any major problems, official one is unable to mount system and has problems with backups, nothing to do with normal usage of the phone.

Thanks! I wish somebody knowledgeable would post an "Ultimate Guide to Rooting your LG G6" thread and make it a sticky. There are contradicting/incomplete instructions on when to press and release the Volume & Power button, when to disconnect the USB cable, etc.
I believe many simple questions on flashing recovery and rooting will keep coming back until a correct, complete and detailed step-by-step guide gets posted.
