[Q] help installing CWM on GRAND PRIME

so I have ROOTED my Grand Prime already. I want to flash mods into my phone. eg, im planning to install audio mods that are flashed from the recovery. So I think I need a custom Recovery like CWM or TWRP.
then I found a video to install CWM on youtube
they use the odin software to install this recovery.
so my question is..
Will anything Happen to the root if I install CWM using this method?
or will any other problem wil happen?

You will not gonna lose the root, but you surely will trip knox counter by flashing custom recovery.

I have disabled knox after I root the phone. When opening SuperSu they asked to disable the knox. So i clicked yes.

Model of Your prime?
I was read about CWM on GP and some of people have a problem like bootloop or it shows that CWM is installed but after reboot all disappear and back to stock recovery
I'm still wating for any info about root my GP and for now....nothing useful yet keep wating

You could of already done that. I flashed xposed and it worked without root. Just flash in custom recovery

without ROOT ? how

Trust me, I've done it without root. I had xposed installed before with root then I flashed the latest stock rom from n915w8 and flashed xposed right after without wiping data and it worked. I guess it was because the xposed modules were already configured but ultimately, I did not root in order to use xposed. The functionality of xposed is increased if you root. This is from my experience
The latest xposed for Samsung probably has some loop hole I'm unaware of that allows you to install it without root.

the boot-loader is not unlocked for n915a currently, how can we install twrp? or you mean install supersu by odin without twrp?

step 2... Install latest twrp... How can you do that if your phone has never been rooted before?

for my note edge sprint (915p) i used CWM cos twrp didnt work. after flashing supersu said i dont have root access and if i would like to have it. I SELECTED NO. after rebooting once phone booted fine. took a while for supersu to take over things and now its all good

Do you by any chance have the latest twrp (2.8.0.7) in .tar file? I've been lurking around for a while now and I'm not able to find it. I can only find .img and I need Linux to convert it to .tar to be able to Odin. I've lost root and now I can't get it back.

ok now that ive spent more time with it i believe the root i got is incomplete. on many apps supersu dialogue doesnt pop and they dont recognize the phone as rooted. i used titanium backup to try and remove system apps and despite everything going fine the apps didnt go anywhere
UPDATE: problem fixed. I edited the build.prop in /system/ using a build.prop editor and now all my apps are asking for root
In build.prop look for ro.securestorage.support=True and set it to False
Also solves if your phone keeps forgetting the wifi passwords

It works. SM-915F. Just don't forget to off 'reactivation lock' in security tab in androud in order to install TWRP successfuly. Thanks a lot!

No you're right. Twrp is in img format but you can easily convert it to tar using a linux emulator. Took me minutes to convert it to tar. Google "how to convert img to tar. Running twrp fine

Does it work in 915V ??

So,it's strange how the method works on my 915f. For example; Titanium Backup can't remove systems apps. It looks like I have a root, but not fully operated. Any advices?

Does this still trip the knox counter?
I want to root, but I must keep my warranty as this N915F is on my company's name.

Permanent Root?

After installing the lollipop update I lost the rooting to the phone.
I rooted my phone again but to be sure for the next time,is there a way to root Lenovo a6000 plus permanently?

When u flash new rom, you have to root again, no way for permanent exept root option include in the rom

You wanted to root again hah? Flash SuperSU.zip (based on my knowledge stock LL cannot/hard to root withe root.apk like kingroot. So, i think the latest tricks is flash the supersu.zip) but still... if you are Advanced User if not dont trying it

Dude sometimes root doesn't install properly i don't know why... I am on stock with 1.4Ghz oc kernel... Thing happens to me is that whenever i reboot my phone. Root stops working and says su binary needs to be updated.. I just have reinstall again and again to keep it working after boot.. So do u have any to solve it?

For me root still work even on reboot. To root my phone, i flashed SuperSU.zip with custom recovery twrp. How about you? Did you using same thing like me or by apps like KingRoot.apk?

Yup obviously.. By SU... I never use kingroot... Well i know it shouldn't have happened... Btw fresh rom install will solve it.. But i don't wanna do that.. Setting up phone again and again suks.. I just asked it because i thought if you might have had this problem! Thanks btw

To clear things up. Think of root as a system module (binary) ("su" module located in "xbin"). Each time you install a new OS, core partitions need to be formated (/cache, /data, and ofc /system). If the SuperUser module is not pre-installed in the new firmware you are flashing, it can be additionally obtained through Chainfire's installation zip. Nearly all custom ROMs have it and will work just fine, with some needing user input to activate it (Settings > Dev Settings > Root Access). While stock ROMs will NEVER have root capabilities pre-loaded.
So, all in all:
No, there is no such thing and will never be, as permanent root. Everything is being overwritten all the time.
Rooting and re-rooting the A6000 is safe and easy.

Moto x play rooting problem.

I have been thinking to root my Moto X Play for a long time now but I have been thinking about some things lately which are as follows:
1. Can I just Unlock the Bootloader and get root from one click root apps like Kingroot?
Cause I am afraid that TWRP or SuperSU can go wrong and bricking my phone.
2. If no, then what is the use and work of TWRP recovery and SuperSU?
3. Will I get official OS updates, like nougat update is just around the corner.
Please help me out in the above mentioned thing, any help will be appreciated.

1. Kingroot is more likely to brick your phone than TWRP and SU taken together
2. TWRP gives you some extras, like it lets you backup the whole system or flash new roms. SuperSU is under constant developement so it's generallly safer to use than one-off roots like Kingroot
3. No. Official updates (OTAs) are only available for pure stock firmware

Thanks

Can I install stock firmware after rooting?

Sure, but you will loose root. You can't have modified and unmodified firmware at the same time

Root with app.

hello I have tried several applications to try to get root on my redmi 3s device without getting good results. I would like to get root without adb or fastboot, just with some application. I already tried with kingroot, framaroot, a Chinese native etc .... the version that I have installed today is MIUI 10.2 stable version running marshmallow 6.0.0. thanks for helpme:good:

When I wanted to root, I also used all of these apps but they could not root my REdmi 3s. If you have a PC best way is to unlock the bootloader and then install TWRP and then flash magisk or SuperSU zip file.

Yes friend, that is indeed the best way, what I wanted is to find an application that would do it by itself, I think that with the MIUI stable you can not without PC. I already have the bootloader unlocked for years, but I reinstalled the stable MIUI and I left it like that, in the past I tried many ROMs. Thank you very much for trying to help, it does so in console and with the command adb fastboot flash recovery.

AFAIK there might be no app that could root MIUI phones or perhaps newer android versions because I tried using these apps on my Lenovo K8 Note also which is stock Android 8.1 and they couldn't root that either.
