None. Other than buy a cheap old laptop on eBay or wherever. Or use someone else's PC.

No. It has to be flashed either by Odin or Heimdall. There is an app in PlayStore but it is no longer supported and doesn't work on newer devices or current Android versions.

Hi my computer has died. MY boot is unlocked. In the past I've rooted galaxy phones without a computer, using a file app. Is it possible to finish my N4 this way? I'd hate to buy a new laptop just to root one phone

U dont need to buy a new one, just use one of ur friends, thats the easiest way.
A lot of the older phones needed to be rooted using an exploit, and thus people made applications that could root it from within the system. Since the Nexus phones are so easy to root without any exploits, all of the toolkits that are created are just using the ADB and Fastboot commands to flash a custom recovery and root the phone.
If you were rooted but didn't have a custom recovery, that would be simple to fix. If you had a custom recovery and needed root, that would be simple to fix. But with neither, I think you're going to need a computer.
You need a computer, OR another device that supports OTG and has a fastboot binary installed.

Actually, I think there's a kernel somewhere here that you can flash and it will root the device simultaneously. I'll try to look for it and see if it's something you can use. Cheers.

That's not the problem... the problem here would be flashing the kernel.

Not to be rude, when you ask these kind of questions, you need to read more by searching.
1- confection to ? has nothing to do with root whatsoever. Troubleshooting that would be great start. By insuring drivers.
2-no root without pc. Odin is safest bet instead of trying other apps or methods outside xda. Not taking the warranty in mind here.
3-you can't use stock recovery for anything that is called useful. No you can't flash roms with it, nor flash supersu.
4-twrp is a great recovery that you need and should use. It's easy and does what it should.
You can't root without ?.

You could use an app in play store to flash twrp but again you need root. Root requires ? as far as I know.
What ? du you have? Only one USB port? Ask a friend or family to borrow their ?. Takes only 10 min.
Pc isn't a problem. My note can connect to pc. I see malfunction note when I connect to pc. Windows don't recognise this phone. I'm sure it isn't drivers problem because every other phone is OK with my pc.
Thanks for help.
You can try root your note 3 using the towel root on this link https://towelroot.com/ press the λ button can install it the you can use the app to gain root access it work for me when I was on kit kat it's completely safe try it .It might work on lollipop too I don't know
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app

Though I haven't used it yet on my 6p, I believe you could use Flashfire to do what you need. Flashfire is kinda a recovery in itself, so you can flash roms, kernnels, take/restore backups, and flash root.

So would i be able to install google assistant with that?
Pretty sure you need root before you can use flashfire.
Btw how did your computer "die". HDD crapout? COME TO THE SSD SIDE OF THE FORCE. Btw PNY sells a nice drive at best buy for $40

Try KingRoot for root https://kingroot.net/
King root didnt work. But i rooted it at work. Thabk for all the help
Is there a way to root without a computer? I already checked Oem unlocking in delevoper mode.
No. Because you need to unlock the bootloader and the device must be in bootloader mode. If you dont got a computer, just ask a friend.
Dang...I don't know anyone without a computer. I guess I'm going stock.

If you are on OFFICIAL oos3.6.1 you can first try this method in android terminal emulator (from playstore, no idea if this works, cant test as i don't use oos anymore) and then install recovery this way
It is risky but it is an idea. If you'd rather have a phone without root and recovery than an expensive paperweight and you feel unsure, don't try it.
edit: btw, did you try cleaning your usb c port? i couldn't even charge op2 bcs there was so much dust in it. After cleaning with a small/flat toothpick it works as new.

Yes, this is right, it only works with root permissions in terminal emulator... didn't think about that sry.
Try using kingoroot apk, if it does not work you can (or cannot--> u have to try) downgrade to oldest oos avaiable and try kingoroot again.
If nothing works i'm out of ideas.
You can use ADB over network if you have access to Wi-Fi

thank for your ideas.
i will see if i can to do something using termix
it is way more powerfull that other terminal emulators
I had the same problem. The only solution I found after months of thinking was to change the USB flex cable inside the phone. It's really really easy and costs like 10 euros on ebay. Then I connected it to my PC and rooted it. I think there is no other way
