Rooting Stock Lollipop 5.0.2. Virgin Mobile - Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Flash Superuser (Link)
I tried flashing su.zip and it works, however apps are not asking for root permission anymore. Instead they just freeze or say they can't run privileged commands
EDIT: adfree for example will just run as if nothing was wrong, but it doesn't actually update the hostfile, and Superuser doesn't show AdFree in the list of apps
It just seems as if none of the apps are asking for superuser permissions anymore.

Try to clear data and cache from SU. Are you sure you flashed the latest version? See link? If that does not help maybe delete and reinstall.

I finally fixed, you were right, it was an older version. I went on the superuser website and got this version: Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
I would post a link but I don't have enough posts.
Flashed in recovery and it works now.

How do I 'flash'
with Clockworkmod recovery
I tried to flash through cwm su.zip and gave an error, something with 0 . How do I do it manually?
I tried to install latest version of Super user, but i get error status 0 in CWM.. Help please
How to install cwm recovery? I just flashed my nexus with stock 4.0.4 and flash this kernel..
Check my sig, kids.
Make sure to follow gsm/cdma downloads and you'll be butter.
OK I'm not sure which update broke my root, but I am on IMM67I
I noticed too that in the superuser app there were no requests, and when going into a terminal and typing su I get 'permission denied'.
First port of call was superboot v4.. that hung at the google screen. Then I temp booted CWM and flashed su_ICS_GN.zip...
Once booted still no access in terminal (permission denied), so I deleted su and superuser.apk (how? Surely I need su to delete these?), then flashed again.. exactly the same.
Downloaded the linked file above and got:
Error in Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
(status 0)
installation aborted
Incidentally, this is the same version of su that is in su_ICS_GN.zip
When going into superuser and trying to update the binary, it says 'cant get root'..
Downloaded just the binary only and get exactly the same as above (installation aborted). Looked at the update_script and cannot see anything wrong....
I've just tried to boot an unsecure image so I can push the new su binary.... stuck at the Google screen...
Very confused...
---------- Post added at 10:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------
OK I used the 'Galaxy Nexus Toolkit' which must have an updated insecure image I guess to push the right su binary..
I had to manually get it into bootloader mode as it didnt reboot (even though it detected the phone at adb).... and then the script continued OK..
i have unlocked Sir G nexus , unlocked with odin method by chainfire (after install 4.0.4 my phone get unlcoked fortunately )

[Q] Rooting on 4.3

Hello all,
I recently got my hands on a Note 2 running Android 4.3 on the MK6 bootloader. I have done a bit of research, but am still somewhat confused about how to root the phone. If I am correct, I just use Odin to flash this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891
Onto the phone to have root access, correct?
Next, if I want to have CWM, I flash this:

If there are any steps I am missing, please let me know. I would like to procede with as much knowledge as possible to avoid bricking the phone. I am aware that doing this will trip the Knox e-fuse, and I am ok with that.
Thanks in advance!

So, today I tried to root my phone, and as soon as I was finished flashing CF Auto Root, Knox blocked the root and said that "Unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked."
Does that mean I cannot root my phone?

No you're fine. Go to Google Play, Download the Update for SuperSU. Update it, it will pop up a window and ask if you want to disable Knox.

Superuser installation issues after installing over SuperSU
It seems SuperSU is writing a file that is confusing Superuser installation on stock builds. If you want to install Superuser over SuperSU, you will need to manually remove the /system/etc/.has_su_daemon file.
I have the /system/etc/.has_su_daemon file.l I'm creating a CWM zip to remove it.
Hopefully that's the solution.

And it wasn't ..... I created a flashable zip that deleted them and it didn't work.
But I did kick it's a$$.
Like I said earlier I running the 【ROM】【March 01】【4.3】Note2_lte_e250_R7. 2 . It's a N7105 port for the ATT.
So I knew there was something called a Multitool in the N7105 threads from Dr Ketan.
I flashed that in TWRP, it's an aroma install type flash, so I only choose Root and install Busybox.
Like all of our other flash installs it looked like it completed successfully.
Every flash or ODIN I've done or most today, I've gotten into adb shell and did
ls -l /system/xbin/su. never saw the file.
After flashing root and busybox I finally saw
[email protected]:/ $ ls -l /system/xbin/su
-rwxr-xr-x root root 100452 2008-08-01 05:00 su
Woo Hoo !
Got into phone, ran supersu, still said no binary.
Not sure why I did this really buy I typed su while in adb shell, Supersu window popped up on my phone, I clicked accept and all root stuff is working.
I have no clue why this worked. But it did, for me anyways. Hopefully it'll work for you, Luigi.

Thanks for all the info!
So, let me get this straight:
I don't need the ROM you're running on my phone. What I should do is find the Multitool, flash it via recovery, and root and Busybox. Then, connect my phone to my computer to run adb (which I don't really know how to do, so I'll have to look that up), type in su, and then from there everything should work as normal.
Also, an extra piece of information I forgot to mention earlier that you might find useful: SuperSU does NOT start at all; it just immediately closes when I click the icon, and then the Knox warning comes up. Did this happen for you?

Really have no clue.All I know is it worked for me.
For me SuperSU opened all he way. It told me I didn't have the su binary, do a manually install. Everything I did, did not work until my last post. 99% sure it will work for you.
For ADB use this....
http://four-nineteen.com/veronica/XDA Developers/Nook Tablet/DRIVERs/ADB + Fastboot + Drivers.zip
Unzip and save only the files that start with ADB. Create a directory like ADB under C:\.
Copy all the ADB files to C\ADB
Go to command prompt in windows, cd to c:\adb directory (whatever you created)
Type adb devices. Make sure it has a device listed
C:\xUltimate-v2.4.2\jar>adb devices
List of devices attached
8675309JennieJennie device
If so, type adb shell
C:\xUltimate-v2.4.2\jar>adb shell

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 :/

This ^^^^
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

They must have taken the option out. It didn't boot any faster for me anyways. Not since 4.4.2

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!!!

If you've lost your custom recovery after flashing a ROM, I'm assuming that you didn't root immediately afterwards?
In that case, you won't be able to use Flashify and your only option is to wait until you have access to a PC.
You should flash twrp after flashing any rom. Then reboot to recovery to check if it works. Official roms flash official recovery...

If kingoroot works, then yes, you can probably flash TWRP that way.

Actually it requre root access. Do you know how to get root access without pc
You could give Kingroot (not Kingoroot) a try. I used to use it on old devices and it does work from time to time. Beware that it does contain a lot of bloat and is suspected to datamine its users. If it successfully roots your phone, I would advise you to clean flash your ROM again after flashing a custom recovery just to make sure it doesn't linger. It it fails to root, then just delete the app (it shouldn't be able to install anything malicious without root access).

Not working..bro
I would suggest not to take too much risk with rooting without the access to PC. If by chance, something goes wrong, like bootloop or something, you'll be screwed big time.
