Then use this to install bootmenu and CWM recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12837303.
And from here you will be able to take nandroid backup and flash CM10.

Wifi tethering is like a hit and miss thing. It works for some, doesn't for others.

guys i rooted my defy plus with one click root app and it said root sucessful and still titanium backup and other apps show its not rooted, though i see super SU icon too. what could be the issue here? as superoneclick failed to root so i has to choose this one click app. i dont know how to proceed further. help

If you mean framaroot, then reboot and try again. Enable USB debugging.

i have finally rooted my defy plus and enjoying jelly bean CM10.2 . you all Rock!!
just two quick questions i have :
1. after flashing cm10.2 i dont see cynogen mod recovery i only have TWRP recovery. is this a issue to be tackled or twrp works same as CM recovery.
2. if i have to install another rom in future will i have to clear cache and delvic and install another zip or how does it work?
And by the way wifi hotspot works on this one

1. It's normal. You can use dual recovery if you want CWM, as TWRP has random reboot problems.
2. Use AROMA full wiper and wipe all and then flash.

King root is deleted by super su me....

Hey, just want to say that I advise everyone not to use King Root V. 4.6.0 it is not possible to uninstall. Use King Root V 4.5.2

this is not true.
I did it.

I was using KR4.6 last week and it wasn't able to root 5.1.1 on Z. It seems like they found the exploits. Kudos to this team...and thanks for sharing this info. I have rooted mine and ready to install recovery.

Ok mate, here is what I did, I followed every steps of instructions(and succesfully rooted my phone), and I uninstalled both, Super SUME and King Root via Titanium Backup. Root retain. Doesn't seems to be affected by all I did. Maybe you can try it.

Supersume automatically deleted kingroot app. No need to remove it with titanium backup.

It's works for me (XperiaZ-C6603-5.1.1) but the Kingroot app can't deleted. I tried many times but it same. Could you tell me another way to remove Kingoroot?
Great works bro..

Works!
Even noob approves this! quick & easy!

Hey! I have upgraded my phone to the latest version, and make root with this method and it succeeded

Yes you can install supersu beta without problem. On xda you can see all. I can't add here just because respect supersu authour share policy

Just a heads up that AFAICT the lines....
Code:
TW_INTERNAL_STORAGE_PATH := "/data/media"
TW_INTERNAL_STORAGE_MOUNT_POINT := "data"
...aren't needed and are effectively ignored in TWRP 3.

I send you in PM in last days recovery log to verify together. No reply! If you look my PM you can find right answer. For reboot the problem is first time that users customize recovery (for example change language) recovery write twrp directory in data/media/ (not 0) and in sdcard. So random read sdcard/twrp (and in this way read customizations) or data/media (original recovery).
I wait a feedback of users here and update after my github sources. Tell me if your PM is useful.
When you want we can work together to create something serious for european rom. Chinese have kangvip tool that use same xposed logic. there are a lot of xposed module that work on emui that can be used for replicate this tool.

Ah, missed your PM! Will look.

If i try to backup my phone with TWRP, i get error message 55 while it backup data (nearly at the end of backup of data).
What could it mean or what would be here wrong? TWRP is from OP, tel. is L09.

OTA update & root

Good morning/afternoon everyone! So this is my first dive into rooting and have successfully rooted my Nexus 6p. Today I received an OTA update and was wondering if it were safe to update with root, and if not, how to go about doing it if possible. I do not have any roms or anything else like that. Just a simple rooted 6p. Sorry for the extremely basic/noob question. Also thanks in advanced for any help/info!

Using the default way, you won't be able to update. During the OTA installation it will detect that device has system modifications, and will fail to install.
The best and most effective workaround for that is by manually flashing the OTA zip using FlashFire app (Search Google Play Store).
You can grab the OTA files from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/ref-nexus-6p-stock-ota-urls-t3213781

One more quick question. After install, flashfire detected an OTA update and asked if I wanted to proceed. Is it safe to allow it to or should I just do it all manually?

If it did, then go with it. If not sure, then there's no problems in giving a few taps to do it manually.

Try this:
1) Complete unroot from SuperSU app settings.
2) Reboot
3) Try flashing with FlashFire again.

Yes, just re-flash the SuperSU zip. More information about this specific warning message is listed here by Chainfire himself.

Regarding FlashFire, as I understand, I can
...flash trwp with Adobe
...flash super su
...install FlashFire
...from now on flash incremental ota using FlashFire (no need to use adb)
Correct?

"Adobe"? Auto-correction, I guess?
As for the actual question, yes. That's all.

Sorry, I just dragged the logic out of my answer. If you unroot, you will not be able to us FlashFire, since it works on the basis of root permissions.
The correct information is here: https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/Q7YYVPwv8Fx
The most common way to by-pass that warning message, is to just continue and flash the update. Make sure that you have taken a backup of your current setup.

I follow the procedure in post #1. However I cannot cut and paste in the system partition although I can use some apk that requires root and I can cut and pass in the data partition. Is there anything that you did differently than in post #1 to be able to cut and paste in the system partition?

Yes we can flash - superuser-r275.zip in android 7 using twrp from http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/twrp-nougat-edition-t3504140
After that we can run Superuser 2.0 Beta 9.apk from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...11859473848826
However I only obtain partial root. I cannot cut and paste in the system partition however I can cut and paste in the data partition and run some apk like reboot manager that requires root.
When I follow the procedure suggested by post #1, I get the same result, only partial root.
