Look for how do I root here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711073
You unlock bootloader. Flash a custom recovery... I suggest twrp. It will ask you when you exit if you want to root. Say yes.
Boot into android, install supersu if it or superuser aren't there already. (from play store)
Or just flash recovery . Install a rom , likely rooted already.

thanks for that but when I did it in my phone it says su binary out of date! what can I do now?

Can you explain everything you did, beginning to end. And exactly when/where you get that message?

I had already TWRP in my phone so I download your files. Opened the recovery and I did from there (install). When it finished rebooted the device and after that when i did a root check it said root access not properly install or sometihing

Open the SuperSU app, and it will prompt you to install the binaries. Select yes, of course.

i did that too nothing happened :/

If it asks to update with a "normal" and "twrp/cwm" option... Try normal first. The other option if that doesn't work.

I tried the normal it didnt work, how I do the second, I pressed it but nothing happened!

I don't think you have twrp installed anymore, or not properly. You've flashed it with fastboot, since updating to lollipop? How did you update to lollipop?

Normal, I never had root before. Upgraded my phone to 5.0 and then i tried to root it

Rooted fine here with normal method. Just had to update super su.

OK, can you please walk us through exactly what steps to Root you took. From the beginning. And we'll see what happened.

SO GUYS, ITS ME THAT I CREATED THIS THREAD! PROBLEM SOLVED. I ALREADY HAD TWRP AND DOWNLOADED THE Update-supersu file from the above youtube video (links) and I did it with recovery mode. I DONT KNOW BUT THE PREVIOUS supersu I installed couldnt update the su binary. This one did it. PROBLEM SOLVED AND I ROOTED MY 5.0.1 LOLIPOP DEVICE.
THANKS GUYS FOR EVERYTHING REALLY HELPFUL!!!

[Q] Somebody confirms pls, 5.0.1 has root access ?!?!?!

please someones confirm us about lollipop 5.0.1.
does our HTC M8 has a root access for this version of android ??
many requests from a lot of users for root access.
i tried all previous versions for chain fire super su, but didn't work, it keeps saying binary needs to be updated, and we have to do it manually.
i heard some talks about flashed kernel.
please experts, relief this pain...:cyclops:

Root access working on Lollipop for me. Installed latest TWRP and downloaded Chainfire SU to internal memory. Flashed the zip through the recovery and restarted.

Rooting Stock Lollipop 5.0.2. Virgin Mobile

Has anyone tried to unlock boot loader and root 5.0.2 VM. I was gonna try the same process for kk. Would it work?

Yes it works... With a little bit difference , you have to download " Beta-SuperSu-V2.48.zip "

Anything else different.

You need to go to the htc dev site and get a new unlock token. The old one for KK wont work. You can select other supported phone from their list.

For me v2.46 seems to work. Granted the only thing I've done is use Quick Boot and Angry Backup to restore my AB progress. Root permission also granted for Titanium Backup and ES File Explorer. I installed SuperSu from recovery with Twrp if that makes a difference.

So I tried to unlock my phone after the LP update but my laptop no longer recognizes my phone. In the command window it just says waiting for device. Do I need to update drivers or something? The computer said it installed the first time I plugged the phone in. Thanks in advance

Did you remember to turn on USB debbuging?

Yes, debugging is on and asks permission so not sure what the problem is. Perhaps try to manually install drivers for the phone?

Currently running stock lollipop with root using supersu 2.46, works fine, got xposed running as well.
Process:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash twrp 2.8.6.0
3. Download supersu 2.46
4. Boot into recovery
5. Flash supersu
6. Profit

Do you still have htc sync manager? and did you allow usb debugging fingerprint from your device after plugging it in?

Yes I still have HTC Sync and it pops up when the phone is plugged in and yes I allowed the permission for Debugging. I'm fine without root I suppose but like the flexability

i just flashed the same super su i used when i rooted on kit kat and it worked just fine for me.

[ROOT][LP][UB/LB] 1 Click Root for Xperia ZL Lollipop Locked/Unlocked Bootloader

Hi, i have an Xperia ZL with Locked Bootloader and i tested it and it worked, no need to flash anything, just go in your mobile browser to https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B28tGmPEAKnOeGhkemVTZlAtMk0/view?usp=sharing, download and install the apk and run it, it will do allt he work for you, i have experienced some reboots but some minutes after my phone goes completly stable, it will install a task killer called kingmaster and the root manager called kinguser, you can uninstall kingroot and kingmaster and just need to keep kiguser, super user and super su doesn´t work but with kinguser installed i have completly root acces
UPDATE: In my first post i posted the direct link to download kingroot from its website, but it was downloading different versions and not all of them are working fine, so i uploaded the correcto version to my google drive, it works perfectly, the version 4.0 is in chinese and doesnt work, but version 4.1 is in english and works fine

Can anybody else comment on this ? I've read shady details about kingroot from other threads but some of it may not be up to date.

I think this method doesn't really works, Titanium backup don't get root access by example...

You can indeed get root using this method, but will need to change it to SuperSU before attempting to use Titanium Backup.

I don't recommend it

can I unroot the phone afterward for warranty service?

Why you dont recomed it Oliver?
Dandy, i have been using titanium backup perfectly with this root method, just open king user, revoque the root acces to titanium and open titanium again, it will prompt you for root acces and then it works perfectly
Dlslith, there is no need to change to supersu or super user, i think this cannot be done
Atisho, i dont know a method to unroot Xperia zl on android lollipop, but im interested too, i will be searching and trying

i am using Titanium backup, AdAway (from XDA) and Internet Speed Master (from XDA) and apparently everything is working fine

Yes, the Kingroot method does work (you need to have internet access). I have used it to root my Z1, but it is generally considered a "Risky" way to root.
If you need it done fast, it will work. Most people recommend taking the longer process of downgrading to an earlier version, using a root tool that installs SuperSU or Superuser, then installing a recover, and finally installing a pre-rooted version of the ROM you want / need.
The reason that king is considered risky is that part of the root process requires you to have web access and the app sends the phone IMEI number to some unknown IP address in china.
Is that all that Kingroot sends? unknown
What can / do they do with the IMEI? unknown
What else does king user do if the root is sending your IMEI number to china? unknow
Use at own risk. I really was having trouble with my Z1 after I tried to install a rom but it was corrupted and I lost the recovery and root.
I used Kingroot to get root access, then used the root to install a recover, then did a clean install of the full ROM I wanted.
groot to get root access, then used the root to install a recover, then did a clean install of the full ROM I wanted.

Does anyone know which exploit kingroot is using to get root access?

Hi,
I tried to root on Lollipop using Kingroot, It installed root, then I tried to switch the Root Manager App to SuperSU, In doing this I uninstaled KingRoot, KingUser and all other apps and tried to update binaries with SuperSU which obviously failed.
Now the problem is such that - KingUser is installed as a system app and also the su binaries are loaded. When i type su command from the Terminal i get the following error:
[-] connect ui: timer expired.
Unable to root with any known technique
I have also tried to do a system reset but kinguser still persisted.
Is there any way to wipe /system clear and flash a ftf to start from a clean slate and try rooting again.

How to Install Custom TWRP recovery on LG D858HK 6.0 v30a (Marshmallow)

Either downgrade to Kitkat using TOT/KDZ and LG Upgrade Tool or if you want a one click method and trust Chinese downloads, then download Autorec and root package from:
http://pan.baidu.com/s/1o6YpUsE
Use password: rjte
Navigate to one of the folders which has kingroot app, which roots temporarily and then use autorecmm app for D858HK. This should downgrade bootloader to Kitkat, install TWRP, downgrade modem to compatible version and flash bumped MM boot image. Of course, permanent root with SuperSu will be there as well.
If you prefer DIY methods then there are a few other posts by me and @topet2k12001 which should be helpful.

Hi, you must install KingRoot latest version and Beta Super su 2.5.2. After this you would have enabled administrator permission.
In case of failure the update binaries in SuperSu, you must again install TWRP apps in order to install the custom recovery ( the latest version is 3.0) and finally, you must install the Supersu file (from recovery) in version 2.52 (is the one that works best on android Marhsmallow).

root is the problem, I am not able to root my Phone, I tried Kingroot, but no luck,

You must install to KingRoot in latest version from its official site. Then run the application and leaves that the process is complete. In the end, the application will show an error message indicating that it has not been possible to establish root on your phone. You should try to at least three times. If the error persists, install the application root check and verify if the root permissions have been granted.

I am not sure of the steps for your variant. You will try to do through of adb/console. Find on Internet how to obtain root permission from adb/console for your model.
