So i've been wanting to root this phone for a while but the last time i actuality rooted a phone was my old S3 and that was as simple as installing a recovery menu and then the SuperSU zip file.
I've googled around and have found various things about disabling the bootloader and disabling encryption etc, and i'm really confused.
If anyone can just tell me what i really need to do and what to not do i would be very thankful.
If it's for any help my phones build number is R16NW.A520FXXU7CRL7.

It's not that much different than an s3. You need to enable OEM unlock in dev settingsp) and flash twrp by following this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...elopment/recovery-galaxy-a5-a7-2017-t3815931. It says optional to flash no-verity no-encrypt.zip, but I would flash it anyway.
Look here if you are missing OEM unlock toggle. https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...w-to/guide-root-install-twrp-samsung-t3747535
Easier than i thought, thanks a lot. Better get rooting.
And to root i just flash the latest SuperSU zip right?
And also does this format anything? Thanks.

You should probably use magisk instead of SuperSU as SuperSU doesn't always work on these higher versions of android.

You need to format data in TWRP to boot, so you will lose all data on internal storage.

I always rooted my gnex using an unsecure boot image.
Now I can boot with an unsecure boot image, I can push/chmod su, superuser and daemonsu using adb but than what should I do?
What should I do to root the phone?
Thanks.

You can either flash the SuperSU .zip by Chainfire in a custom recovery or you can take the .zip apart and do it manually. Push all of the files in the .zip to the corresponding locations on your phone and look at the updater-script to see if you need to do any other commands. Root in 4.3 is different and Chainfire's method basically uses a script to enable it at every boot. I have not read about any other superusers working for 4.3, though I could have missed it.

Galaxy Nexus 4.3 NO ROOT w/ SuperSU_1.51.zip
Ok XDA - you're my only hope. I've completely lost root after flashing the last two PA releases. I just flashed the most recent (dirty), flashed GApps, rebooted, Flashed SuperSU_1.51/zip, Wiped Dalvik/cache in TWRP, rebooted, SuperSU says no binary installed, please manually root. Losing my mind here, need to get rooted again, could someone lend me some backup?

Did you manage to solve this problem?
I've got the same problem now...(There is no SU Library installed... This is a problem!)
Previously I had root but SU Library wouldn't update, ChainFire told me to re-root which caused me to lose root completely, tried again to root, without any luck.
Stuck without Root

download the most current supersu.zip and flash it in recovery.
if you're using a toolkit (i bet you are) STOP IT.

about 2 minutes prior to your reply, I updated the "Toolkit" along with all the other items (supersu, img, etc..)
And after that, my device is rooted again.
Although, the main reason I started all of this was to update my device's build further, but it seems the OTA update is now gone... I'll have to wait for it appear again and see how it goes...

I did, though I'm fuzzy on how exactly, and no, no toolkits here. IIRC I ended up wiping, updating recovery, and then manually flashing, but I had to do it multiple times to get root to stick. Sorry I don't have any better info to provide, glad to hear a) I wasn't the only one who experienced this problem, and b) you got your root back.
Hey all,
I'm a bit of a nub at this, but can I boot into TWRP and root my OP3, without losing stock recovery? If I remember correctly from a while back, when I Odin'd TWRP to a Samsung device, it asked me if I wanted to install TWRP and allow system modification. If I choose not to, will I keep both stock and root?
Thanks!
I am no expert by any means, but for my Nexus 6, I could use the nexus root toolkit to boot into twrp without changing the recovery. It used 'fastboot boot' command I believe, so you should be able to accomplish the same by typing 'fastboot boot twrp.img'.

I selected "don't allow system modifications" when it came up but it kept twrp so the stock OP3 rom does not overwrite your custom recovery. Though my ota installed fine using twrp so I see no reason to use the stock recovery.

It DOES still required an unmodded + system never being mounted r/w just fyi.
I just got my oneplus 3 and I really wanna root it to be able to switch out the stock android emoji's. On my OPO I were able to temporary run TWRP to get root but on this people are saying different things. AM I able to temporary run TWRP with fastboot boot blabla and then flash SuperSU and then still have stock recovery because I really don't wanna have TWRP if I can't update using the OTA's. And emoji switcher requires root so
Or am I able to flash TWRP, Flash SuperSU and then download emoji switcher and get my iphone emojis and then update with OTA not by flashing?

You can read up in oneplus one forum and so on about this. Believe me you are not the first to ask this question so do a little research before flashing its a lot to know.So be on top of what you are trying to do

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to the android scene when it comes to the rom and rooting side of things so I just have a few questions about Sunshine and the whole process in general. Sorry if this may have already been asked but after a quick search many of the answers to these questions seem to be outdated.
1. Do you need to be rooted in order to use Sunshine?
2. If I do, is there any method to root my phone? I can't seem to find any without paying some money.
The only reason why I would want to root my phone is so I can use Titanium root and back up my data.
3. Do I have the order right?
Use Sunshine (gains S-off/unlocks bootloader)Install a custom recovery (TWRP)Super SU (Does this root my phone?)Install Cyanogenmod
4. If I have the order correct, at what point should I backup my data and when would my data get wiped?
5. And if I'm backing up my data should I back it up to my SD card and remove it, or do something else?
Once again, I'm sorry if most of the answers to these questions seem obvious but this is my first time tampering with my phone so I would appreciate any help!
Ok so a little update, I used sunshine, installed twrp, and tried to flash super su but I got stuck on a bootloop. Any help? I tried wiping the cache/dalvik.

The latest supersu zip will give you a bootloop. The previous version works fine. I don't have it anymore but you will need to download a rom and flash it.

After successfully flashing CM12.1 and playing around with it a little bit, I wanted to completely remove root (to get a few apps running). So I was advised to download SuperSU and use it to make a full/complete root removal. After that I de-installed SuperSU and disabled root in the Developer Options.
Well, that worked, I could run the apps that were unhappy with just root disabled in Developer Options. But now I want to have root back and I read in a couple of place that just flashing the latest SuperSU.zip from recovery might be a bad idea.
Any suggestions how to properly re-root my CM12.1 ?

Not sure what would be bad about it. If it's an issue with latest version, just use 2.46

Ok I know there's turorials etc on doing this
I have had previous experience on rooting other phones but its been a while also am I right in saying, as I am on stock rom here in the UK
Unlock OEM in Dev Options
Enable USB Debugging
All I want to do is Root Device
Will this stop system updates from happening?
Attached image on version of Stock I have
If anyone could tell me steps to follow

You can do this if you want. Most people just flash magisk in twrp to root. Because of the a/b partitions it's a bit more involved than it used to be. You'll have to flash magisk after booting

Yes, it will stop you from installing the standard OTA's. However, you can either sideload the OTA, or flash the OTA zip in twrp, or, fastboot the factory image to update the monthly releases. No matter which way you update, you'll still have to reinstall magisk again to regain root as Edmontonchef stated :good:
