hello guys ... im trying to root my lollipop m8 ... it's just not working ! woulld you please help me ?
Can you elaborate? Tell us what you have tried, and what errors or issues you've had?
It's as simple as unlocking bootloader, flash custom recovery and flash SU binaries if needed and install super SU from playstore.
Same as on kit Kat.
Or, just unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery, flash custom rom. Which will likely be already rooted.

Hey guys,
I just bought a 2nd hand phone online and the previous owner is not a tech savvy one, he updated the phone's software to 4.4.4 but did not root/unlock bootloader. I currently just managed to unlocked the bootloader, and now im stuck with a phone running 4.4.4 with no root nor recovery. Before you guys advise me to search the forums, i did and the rooting methods are either fixed, requires a bootloader to flash kernels/superuser, or vice versa (requires root to flash recovery)
I have been looking all around the forums to no avail, any help would be appreciate.
Thanks
Since u have a UB try flashing this recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2599619.
You have to flash offical 4.2 rom and root and install recovery than flash a custom or kernel 4.4
Can you not revert to previous stock version then use towel root. When I bought my phone it had ICS 4.2, used towel root then let phone update manually. Root was kept and I now have 4.4.4..
Hi guys,
I'm not sure exactly where to look for the steps because I'm in a unique situation or atleast I think I am. I need help on installing the LOLLIPOP firmware (N900TUVUFOB6) with a custom recovery and root. I am currently on a rooted note 3 v4.3 with the N900TUVUBMI7 baseband version.do I need to update my bootloader to a newer version? Should I atleast do a stock update to 4.4? Should I be using which custom recovery?
If I'm correct, I can't just flash the latest custom recovery and then flash the newest lollipop (for example the newest TEKHD like this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672393
Or can I? What If I just did a normal software update to upgrade me to lollipop, will the bootloader be blocked, disabling me from installing a custom recovery since I would want to root as well. And then would I be able to resume the steps from TEKHD instruction?
Thanks!

if you don't need guarantee, then make EFS backup, flash custom recovery, root and flash lollipop.
you don't need to unlock anything.
you need chainfire's root, philz or twrp recovery, odin and custom ROM.
Hello all developers, I have a noob question, please guide. I have ZenFone 2 running on stock android 5.0 and it is rooted. Now I have to flash custom roms and mods but also want to update stock Rom to android 6.0 whenever ASUS provide updates. So I have a simple idea as below -
1) Install flashify app.
2) Take backup of stock recovery.
3) Flash CWM.
4) Take nandroid backup.
5) Now I can flash custom roms.
6) When ASUS provide updates, flash nandroid backup.
7) Flash stock recovery through Flashify.
8) Full unroot from supersu.
Thus my phone will be fully stock and I can update stock Rom to android 6.0 .
Will this trick work; please tell. I am eagerly waiting for your replies.

you have to unlock bootloader if you want to flash custom rom !!!
if you unlock bootloader with official tools. you cant receive any update from asus with OTA. but you can flash full stock rom with twrp via sideload or edit stock rom zip then install with twrp.
somebody can unlock bootloader without official tools (i dont try) and they can update OTA
srr my english

Thank you very much for the information. Btw, can I make changes to stock Rom without unlocking bootloader and revert back to fully stock phone when OTA comes with the above method ?

I've managed to install TWRP on my phone.
I'm currently on nougat with s-on.
I want to root so I can flash custom rom but can't find instructions on how to do that. Could someone provide simple instructions on how to do that please. Also do I need s-off to flash custom Rom, if so how do I do that?
Thanks for reading

There is a N00b Help thread that is stickied for exactly questions like these.
You don't need root to install a custom rom. Most custom roms already come rooted. Instructions for flashing them are in each custom rom thread. Basically you do a backup of your stock rom in twrp (select system image and boot), and then flash your custom rom zip file in twrp.
