Root method that works please... - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have searched XDA thread's, I have combed through android central. Ever root method I follow including heisenbergs leads to boot loop. Let me just state I am not new to rooting and this is frustrating beyond words. I want to throw this damn thing against a wall but I know it's not the phones fault.
[Before anyone says it, I have searched XDA, Androicentral, several other forum boards high and low , believe me, it only ads to my frustration] So, regarding th title of the post: Should be as simple as flashing supersu in recovery right? Just after flashing the modified boot image? Can't get it to take. I've tried every step variant I can think of like flashing the vendor file which is new to me. Flashing a rom and allowing that supersu included do the rooting, in all different step orders too, so on and so forth - but all of these iterations I have tried leads to bootloop. I get stuck with no choice but to manually flash each partition back to stock just so that I have a phone to use.
After restoring my phone back to stock i am here: I have the most recent TWRP installed for a recovery (thus obviously my bootloader is unlocked too), I have not flashed the modified boot image yet but am aware I will need to before flashing supersu (and wiping cache) in recovery - last time I did it this way it did not work for me...
Can anyone point me to a simple tutorial of how to obtain root or maybe point out what I've done wrong above, please? I am at my wits end over something supposedly so simple. (Go ahead, laugh, call me names, whatever - I deserve it)

What boot image are you flashing? It's probably not compatible with the security patch you are on. Really you don't need to flash a new boot image as the SuperSU zip now patches it. So just flash SuperSU and enjoy root.

Thanks! So it comes in a .zip. Do I extract it or something? I have always just used TWRP to "install", then choose the zip file and "flash". Always worked. Should I have unzipped the package or something?

No. Just flash the latest SuperSU zip. The installer patches the boot image.

Just follow the instructions in the OP of the ROM you wish to flash.
For details on what the vendor partition is and which one to flash, look in the FAQ of the Pure Nexus ROM. I'm to lazy to to explain it myself or even link to it. Sorry, it's late here and locating it's kind of a pain on the mobile.
And for future reference it's an utter waste of time to root then flash a ROM. I'll explain tomorrow if you don't understand why.

The drivers and firmware got extracted into a separate vendor partition. Google doesn't provide source for vendor.img, just binaries. You need to flash a vendor.img that matches the ROM. If they don't match it might still work with some complaints, but it is best to have them matched. Look at your ROM to see which vendor.img they require.

Recovery mode

Hi GN users -
Rooted my phone this evening and all (I thought) was going well. I've been trying to do a backup via rom manager but when the phone reboots i get the android with a red exclamation point. This happens when trying to get to recovery mode using ROM manager or just using the volume buttons. Can't get a clean back up.
Used the following files:
recovery-clockwork-5.8.3.1-toroplus.img
Superuser-3.0.7.efghi-signed
Should I have used CWM-SuperSU-v0.87?
If i can access the boot loader can I go ahead and flash with CWM?
Thanks
Denver

So the problem is that you flashed custom recovery and when you reboot it reverts to stock recovery? If so it's because you're on the stock ROM and it's got a script that restores stock recovery upon reboot. You can either install a custom ROM or do this:
juliano_q said:
-remount /system in read/write mode (use something like the Root Explorer app or ES File Explorer; both have root modes (check the app's settings) for remounting /system as writable)
-rename the /system/recovery-from-boot.p to /system/recovery-from-boot.p-bak
(note: you could delete it, but renaming is much safer since its easily reversible)
yes, it is easier to use a script, but in my opinion it is much better to know what is going on behind it.

And I flashed the zips he posted when I rooted. I trust that Bigrushdog does know what he's doing but that zip seems to have a lot of things in there that he may or may not need. Like, why does it contain a boot.img? He only needs the SU binary to obtain root. His problem must be that he's rebooting. He should fastboot flash recovery, then fastboot reboot recovery and then flash the SU zip from there. And if he wants to stay on the stock ROM he should follow the instructions I posted. I'm not saying you're *wrong* but I am saying that I'm more right
EDIT: Rereading his post I'm pretty sure he does have root already, his problem is just that recovery isn't sticking which is a known issue with a known solution as I posted previously. Its the exact same thing on the Nexus S.
If anything we are equally correct and my method is much simpler. And yes the boot.img is required this is the stock kernel image without the recovery.sh that runs on the stock kernel. This will keep him from having to delete it manually. I know this because the same method was needed for my epic. You have to flash a tweaked stock kernel without the recovery.sh then flash the recovery. Then everything will stick. His issue is he didn't flash the tweaked kernel and upon booting the stock kernel deleted his custom recovery.

Help backing up stock JB kernel

I am really liking the stock JB kernel but I also have been using and liked Franco's kernel for the past few months, especially the customizability. I want to try it out too but I don't want to lose the stock kernel in the process. Can someone provide any of the following:
1. A guide to extracting/backing up the stock kernel.
2. A link to any such guide. (I looked around but couldn't find one.)
3. A link to the actual kernel. (If someone, somewhere has already done this and posted it.)
Thanks in advance!

Here's the stock kernel for you
Thanks! Out of curiosity, do you mind explaining how you got it? Is it super complicated? I'm just trying to learn by doing as much as I can to avoid having to ask all the time=/
Edit: Oh, also is that zip flashable via CWM?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I got it from one of the Jellybean threads, but with the sheer volume of JB threads today, I can't remember which. I think it's the main JB thread in General.
The only thing I did was rename it from StockKernel.zip and added the JB prefix so as not to lose it in my mess of files
Ah, sounds good. Thanks again!

This is the right attitude to have! :good:
The easiest way to back up your stock kernel is through CWM. It makes a backup of the image and saves it to your /sdcard/clockworkmod/... This file should be easily flashable using fastboot.
Another way, but less elegant, is to use dd (root and busybox required of course):
dd if=dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img
That will place a file called boot.img in the root of /sdcard. (Not this file will likely not be flashable via fastboot, but can easily be flashed with dd:
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/boot

You are right, you can NOT back up just the kernel using CWM, but you CAN restore just the kernel. (I was thinking of a different recovery.)

Only a little bug for me:
From settings-->storage (memoria in italian) It can't see all the files in the sdcard, also doesn't see a lot of music (but I can see those music files with play music app)...
Any other thing is working fine, good battery life, much faster on homescreen and on the appdrawer, maybe a little laggier on temple run...
Waiting for the official release...
So I guess that if I download factory image for my NS and extract boot.img out of it (it is in tgz-tar-zip ), I should be able to flash it and restore stock kernel using fastboot flash boot boot.img. Am I right?
But I noticed that boot.img in zip provided by harveydent takes 2x more space than the one in the factory image.

If harveydent used dd to dump the image, it will be padded with a bunch of zeros at the end. Both will work fine, although you cannot flash the untrimmed one using fastboot, you need to use recovery or dd.

[ROM][d802] Recovery Flashable STOCK 80220B Vodafone DE (+root)

Made this from the new 80220B Vodafone DE kdz.
This is the complete LG KK 20B ROM - nothing missing or messed with.
If you follow the method below exactly, no Audio glitches, no Touchscreen problems.
You can flash SuperSU and get root if you wish - your choice.
I provide this assuming you have an understanding of the terminology used below and appreciate that any flashing activity has some risk.
I strongly advise against using any form of restore from previous backups, such as TB or Nandroid.
Once the process is complete, custom recovery will be lost.
Method:
Download both the ROM zip file linked below and SuperSU zip file (if you want root) and copy to your SD card.
You need to be already on Rooted JB or PURE CM11 with either TWRP 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 or TWRP 2.7.0.0 (nothing else).
Reboot to TWRP recovery
Wipe: System, Data, Cache. Dalvik (nothing else)
Flash the ROM zip - ignore any "FAIL" warnings.
Wipe Cache and Dalvik (nothing else)
Go to the Mount page in TWRP and select System (leave the other defaults alone)
Flash the SuperSU zip - ignore any "FAIL" warnings
Reboot
Done
Don't use AutoRec to flash TWRP - you will lose Knock code.
Alternatively - if you have flashed TWRP on another KK Stock ROM (using AutoRec), you can full wipe (not SDCard) and flash this directly without going back to JB.

Hey, you mentioned in this thread that you were going to upload a flashable ROM with knockcode.
Is this what you were talking about? You don't mention Knockcode in the OP. Also at the moment I'm running Stock Kitkat, rooted and with custom recovery. Do I just go into recovery and flash this? (Assuming I have the right TWRP and I wipe Cache and Davlik) You have said its okay to be on rooted JB, just wondering if being on rooted KK changes anything.
Yes this is the latest with Knock code. It would be fine to flash from any other KitKat ROM with custom recovery. Make sure you make the correct wipes.
You forgot download link!
Also PrimaryGPT.bin is partition table so may have issues with phone storage size after flash... I could be wrong and it could be fine...

well... of course the 2 additional .bin files could be excluded together or one by one... or left there.
Vodafone DE have both 16GB and 32GB variants, IIRC. Which may be why those files are there. So in theory it shouldn't matter if the whole ROM is flashed.
ROM wouldn't be stock if those files were removed.

[Q] What steps am I missing with my install to kitkat?

To start off the kindle had an older version of twrp and had a version of ice cream sandwich. Those work correctly and it continues to work correctly after a nandroid restore.
Fast forward to now, I installed the latest twrp and flashed the latest FFF v1.5 bootloader.
I flashed this CM11 nightly cm-11-20140702-NIGHTLY-otter.zip
and flashed latest gapps gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip
After I finish flashing everything I can setup the kindle but once I reboot it goes into a bootloop at the CM logo that results in a colorful screen. If I power off and power on it just bootlopps at the CM logo. Not sure what else I can do. Any help is appreciated.
Forgot to add. I have tried flashing Pacman rom: pac_otter-nightly-20140701.zip and I get same results as above.

Never thought about that. I just downloaded the version in the twrp thread.
OK so I have twrp 2.7.0.1. Here's the screenshot in recovery. Does your twrp look like that because my other twrp on other devices look different logo wise.

that should be fine, unless it did not install correctly. try the 2.7.1.0 zip version zip-openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-otter.zip Install in old TWRP>wipe cache and dalvik>reboot

I installed this and same thing as before. Not sure what's going on, but ended up just using jb.
Still stuck at logo?
U need to inform ur version of bootloader, twrp, and which ROM u r trying to flash. Let us know the name of the file.
Did u wipe before flashing?
Twrp7 can't be use for flashing JB. U ending up using JB by flashing ur old twrp and ROM? Or by flashing via twrp7?
Last.. Are u sure u device is kindle fire original?

Yeah still stuck at cm logo after powering back on or rebooting. File names are in the op but let me know if you need anything else. Clean instalI with a wipe. I even used the twrp version SD_shadow provided and I still installed KitKat and installed jb bit still see the issue. And positive to original kindle. I'm thinking I should make a video of my install process. Thanks for the help guys.

No idea.. Sorry.
Anyway, if you successfully install JB with TWRP 7.. That's weird.

At first it wasn't. I was just doing the normal Factory Reset in twrp but on the last try I included system as well. Let me try again.

Full wipe recommended when changing a system. Wait for boot don`t be impatient.

Doing that now. I don't have to flash the bootloader every time, right?

The bootloader gets flashed 1 time and 1 time only. Unless perhaps there is an upgrade you never do this in correlation with flashing a new ROM period.

Swipe factory reset then go advanced select dalvik, cache, system then swipe again. Flash rom.zip, flash gapps.zip in zip form mind you then select reboot system.

Well, my google sheet doesn't contain flashable zip's but nevertheless you can restore the Nandroids via TWRP. (If you ask me I actually don't see a reason why someone should take the time to make a flashable stock zip if a restorable Nandroid that only contains the Boot Image, a System Image and the Stock Recovery behaves the same way as a clean installed stock rom. And if you don't need the Stock Recovery you don't need to restore it. Just my 2 cents. )

I made this from the systemdump by liabtoofer . This is rooted, unsecure boot image (so you can use the color calibration MOD ? ) and busybox and initd support. No tweaks and other mods . ?
I can make one completely stock, Unrooted etc. Don't really see the point but I can.
Maybe I will make a separate thread.
Don't think you can take ota. Since you don't have stock recovery .
Glad I could help.

Huh? That's odd.... Didn't hear about that error when flashing this rom. However been reading about this on other threads . Are you on the newest firmware?
For color control I use the apk provided in the kcal thread. (The one with the parrots ? )
