please someones confirm us about lollipop 5.0.1.

Rooted my M8 with S-ON and bootloader unlocked.
I installed first openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.3
Then entered recovery mode to install SuperSU (latest version)
worked fine.
Did have a WiFi issue, no sure why, but after factory reset problem was solved.
Didi have also the facebook messenger lag problem when in app sound was active.

[Q] Root 5.0.1 ?

Hi all...... I have just got a breif question maybe there is no root out yet for 5.0.1 or I am just being stupid but i had 4.4 rooted and updated to 5.0.1 lollipop i do have a custom recovery being twrp, however i cannot install the binary i get ......
There is no binary installed and supersu cannot install it. This is a problem !
if you just upgraded to android 5.0 you need to manually re~root consult the relevnt forums...
i have tried uninstalling super su but it wont uninstall as im not rooted... i have tried manually installing the supersu binary.zip from sd card
and tried installing a different supersu nothing will work any ideas people

Which TWRP did you use?
I flashed 2.7.0.1 but when i try to boot to recovery I get the white screen with the red warning at the bottom, and "booting into recovery" in pink at the top, but then it fails and reboots to normal system.
not working
i think chain fire didn't release root for 5.0.1....
if i knew that, i wouldn't update to this android
Works fine on Nexus/GPe devices so must be an Sense thing
Rooted my M8 with S-ON and bootloader unlocked.
I installed first openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.3
Then entered recovery mode to install SuperSU (latest version)
worked fine.
Did have a WiFi issue, no sure why, but after factory reset problem was solved.
Didi have also the facebook messenger lag problem when in app sound was active.
I just went back to 4.4.3 in the end and installed the viperone Rom and have to say i am impressed

You may want to download a root checker app to verify. If it wasn't root properly, I would re-download the SuperSU zip and install it once more.

tried root checker, i got this message : (( Congrats, root access is properly installed on this device )) in green color.
so my device is rooted, why i still can't gain access to that app ( xmodgames ) i used to gain access when on 4.4.4
did any body tried this app on 5.0.1 ???

My guess is the given app is not compatible with Lollipop.
Try a couple other apps that require root access; e.g., root file explorer.

mmmm, maybe you are right, coz checker is ok, other some apps needs root works fine, like root explorer, aptoide, busybox, but xmodgames

[Q] [IMPORTANT] Is there any way I can root htc one m8 Lolipop 5.0?

Someone if you know and tested it, can I root my htc one m8 device having the new firmware updated 5.0.1 lolipop??
Please anwser and if there is a way please send a link
THANKS A LOTTT!!
It's exactly the same as before.
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.
?
i havent been able to find the option to disable fast boot so i havent even tried yet but if anyone has let me know

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!!!

Root access not working cm 12.1

Hi there,
I'm actually in trouble : I rooted my g3 and installed cm 12.1, no problem about this. But when I try to launch an app which require root access, for instance lucky patcher, it says "no root access". Now here is the problem, I did activate root access in the developer's options so why isn't it working?
More over I tried to root again with one click rooters like kingroot, kingoroot or towel root, but they all failed. I installed superSU but it always says "update su binary" that make my phone reboot each time I try...
Does someone have a solution to my problem ?
Finally I'd like to specify that I'm French so I apologize if I did mistakes in my text ?

Try going on twrp, wipe dalvik cache and cache. Go to reboot and press system if twrp doesn't display a message saying your phone isn't rooted, do you want to root it? It means there is a problem with the ROM it self not finding root access
Tanks a lot guys it worked ! Just after entering the pin's password each application was asking to get root access !

Made a full root-uninstall on CM12.1 - how to properly re-root?

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

Lineage OS can't get root acces... HELP!

Hello everyone! I installed recently Lineage OS 14.1 on my Zenfone 2 and I saw that there is root acces just for ADB.. so I googled the thing and I found out that I had to install the su binary.. so , I downloaded it , booted into recovery, flashed the zip( successfully), booted the system and went into settings and I saw that now I have access to root for apps to.. until here , everything was nice, but after that, I downloaded Root Checker to verify if the root is working and guess what? It wasn't.. I searched everywere, but no results..if somebody can help me, please reply.. Regards.
Have you tested it, by connected via ADB and do a "su" command? Same with a terminal emulator on your phone?
> just saw that I have access to it
You should choose that, man.

Have you tried running the command "adb root" first and then "adb shell" ?
Did you install the superuser x86 zip from LineageOS - https://download.lineageos.org/extras? I know you said you did, but make sure it's the x86 version. You'll also need to go back to root access and turn it on for apps and adb.

In my case it wouldn't not only not work with the official LineageOS root method, it wouldn't accept any other method I tried.
The ones I tried (Magisk and SuperSU) got me stuck into recovery boot without being able to get back to the system and I had to do a clean flash to get it back working again.
Fortunately this solution worked and now I have my Zenfone 2 rooted. Thanks!
