Hi all, I've got an M8 and really want to add a few features to it. I'm a bit of a noob to all of this so I hope you don't mind these questions in this forum.
I think Android Revolution HD and the Sense 6 Toolbox have the features that I'd like. So I need to:
1. Install ARHD
2. Install the Xposed framework using ARHD
3. Install Sense 6
I've been reading this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618
So I need to:
1. Unlock the bootloader (steps 1 to 19)
2. Flash a custom recovery (next section, steps 1 to 11) - Where do I get a custom recovery though?
3. Flash a custom ROM (next section, steps 1 to 7) - This is the part which installs ARHD?
4. Install Xposed through ARHD
5. Install Sense 6
Please forgive my noobish questions and correct me where I'm making a fool of myself! I'm a quick learner
Thanks in advance

you can do step 1 & 2 by using
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699065
Once your device rooted, just download the rom , copy to your phone and flash it via recovery.
step 4&5 are part of step 3, which is installing ROM
you can download the rom from the following link.

So it looks like steps 1 and 2 are covered...are there any advantages of following the instructions on the original link I posted instead of the windows software that you linked?

When you say flash the ROM via recovery, is this a different sort of recovery than what step 2 was describing?

xposed framework will need installing. After the ROM has booted, open the xposed app and install the framework. Tick to enable sense 6 toolbox in the modules section, select your options and reboot.
you should nandroid backup your pristine stock rom before flashing a rom.

I'm going to try and do this tonight...
Please can I get a consensus - should I use the "Toolkit V2.0" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699065) or the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618 to root the phone?
At what stage can I make a nandroid backup?
Thanks!
So I think that I use the Toolkit V2, then take a nandroid backup, then install ARHD?

correct. once you have a custom recovery, you can backup and flash at will.

Thanks, I think I've got it now...the toolkit has TWRP which is a custom recovery right?
I've also been reading about S-off...I don't think I need to know about it for what I'm planning?
Thanks again
Ok..I'm pretty sure I don't need it...
I'm going for it now...my first root. Wish me luck!
I've used the tool kit successfully and used TWRP to make a backup
I backed up before installing super user.
There you're, closer go install arhd.
Ok, HRHD installed, Sense 6 installed, Xposed installed.
But when I opened Xposed from the app drawer, under "Framework" it says "The latest version of Xposed is currently not active. Did you install the framework and reboot?"
Any ideas?
Ok I've done it, I had to allow apps from unknown sources and then give Xposed superuser permission.

yep. after initial install you have to install the framework from within xposed, then reboot.

I know it's required to unlock the bootloader in order to gain root on primoc, but the directions call for flashing a kernel, and I'd like to keep my phone as close to stock as humanly possible. Is there a way to keep the stock kernel and get root, or is it the act of flashing the kernel that gets you root? The reason I ask is that I'd like to be able to use root apps, but I don't want to flash kernels/ROMs.
Sorry if this is a n00b question.
-------------------------
For any poor unsuspecting soul who finds this thread through the almighty Google... The procedure in the next post works. Apparently, if you get the latest and greatest TWRP recovery it will root for you, but the version of TWRP I found did not do that.

Follow the instructions and flash the recovery file and not a kernel. You should now have TWRP recovery installed. Download Superuser.zip from the official website and place it in your sd card. Reboot and go into Bootloader and then into Recovery. From there press the first button and go to where you left the Superuser.zip. Select it and let it finish. Now reboot and you should be rooted.

If you install twrp as the recovery it will promot you and root the Rom. With the stick kernel.

That wasn't my experience. I had to flash the superuser.zip from recovery to get the su binary and then install the superuser app to get root to work. The general approach does work though!

Superboot does work, but it installs a kernel as part of the directions, which is what I did not want to do.

It won't install, I guess because of system write protection. Is there a way to install it without flashing a new rom or a new kernel?

i am on stock 5.0.1 rooted, twrp 2.8.6.1, s-on
busy box on rails tells that busy box is installed but some applets missing (in details it tells one applets missing while others installed)
finally not useful as i want busybox for V4A , so waiting for solution.
What I did was to backup via TWRP the ROM - wipe the phone and restore the ROM. At the end right before reboot TWRP asked me if I wanted to root the rom, did so and all was good.

So I rooted my phone and am getting alerts about an OTA update. When it rebooted into recovery, I wasn't sure where the OTA update file was located, so couldn't install it. So my questions are:
1) Where is that location?
2) Would installing it via recovery wipe my phone given the non-standard method of installation?
3) Is it likely I will have to re-root when done?
4) I already have Titanium Backup to restore stuff. Am I better off just grabbing a custom ROM ?
Sorry for the n00bish questions.

You said that the first time, but it doesn't show up there. I guess I will just find a ROM.
So recently I updated my nokia (RM1030) to the laoftware update I.e 1.2.3.21 but I iam confused that shouldnt I get the MixRadio app instead of the normal radio on the latest update? Cuz I have seen it on other devices. Also I want to install the google play services so I can get playstore and stuff . Do I. Eed to root cuz I dont want to root because it can ge bricked or something like that so any suggestions?
Both MixRadio and normal radio are present in 1.2.3.21 update. and no need to root if you want to install gapps. Just use AngSanley's Nokia X Manager.

simple instruction is put the gapps in your phone memory or sd card
if you have custom recovery (lewa, miui, cwm, twrp) just install the zip file
always make a backup of your stable rom before flashing, theres nothing wrong in having mistake just make sure you have back up in your recovery or in any case have a backup of stock rom (if recovering from backup did not work) you can always flash back stock rom to your device via nx flasher

First you need the updated ADB driver for nokia x.
Here is the thread by Dom3616 :http://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-x/general/fix-updated-adb-drivers-nokia-x-v1-2-4-1-t2835827
you will find download link and the installation Procedure.
download any gapps flashable zip file for 4.1.2 to your pc( I used the one mentioned in this post-> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53977207&postcount=31)
Then open nokia x manager and connect you phone to pc as usb memory.
After it detect your phone click on Install GApps. then press ok and select the GApps.zip file you downloaded.
After that it will copy the zip file to your internal memory and boot your device in TWRP temporarily.(You will not able to boot in twrp again).
In twrp click on install and navigate to your .zip file and select it. Then swipe to confirm. it will install it and then click reboot. It will ask you to root your device just click on no. Done.

I just rooted my HTC 10 and installed Xposed and got the Youtube Adaway Module. My previous phone was a Z3 where I had used GravityBox which ran fine. Since this is my first HTC device will the GravityBox MM work for this device or is there an alternative besides GravityBox.
Thanks Again.
As I remember GravityBox is programmed to run on and with AOSP based ROMs. Now when it comes to HTC, stock ROMs aren't AOSP based. I never used it myself though and I'm a long time HTC user. If you want you can try it if course, but should perform a backup prior to doing so.

Just tried and it works, only needed GravityBox to show the AM/PM and change the battery icons. Can't say about the other features on it as I only needed these two functions. Also got Xposed working with greenify, and Youtube Adblock. Looks like I am good to go for a while!

first off, I mean this the best way possible. You need to be both more clear and more complete in your posts and questions. I could (and many would) very much give you a hard time but will try to help you.
1. If I'm not mistaken, that is a TWRP error. You can do a forum or google search and you'll find many threads about it with options.
2. Post the TWRP log so we can see what happend, or take a screenshot so we can see exactly what the output text on the screen was before the error.
3. Are you using TWRP? I assume so if you're on an HTC 10.
4. I simply flashed the proper exposed module in TWRP.
Long story short way too many variables to simply answer your question. You could wipe the cache and reboot into recovery, re copy the .zip to your SD or adb push it over. and reflash

If you look at the screenshot it tells you exactly what the problem is. Did you even read it?
Tell us what it says directly before the error?
"system mounted as read only file system" - you didn't mount as read/write. You have to mount R/W for SU and anything like this you're going to flash.
Try again, this time set the system to mount as R/W and be sure to read and watch what you're doing.
People are here to help but the trade-off is you must make efforts and not solely rely on others to solve your problems.
