I have a GAPPS enabled Nokia N1 running Android 5.0.2, and I want to root it. I can't really understand this tutorial since it's a tut for rooting and installing GAPPS, but I already have GAPPS so if I could get a tutorial for only rooting my device, that'd be much appreciated Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I have been using WM devices for many years and have recently switch to Android, HTC desire. When it comes to Android and Linux, I can be considered as a complete noob.
I have read Paul's thread on rooting but am unsure on the following items:
1. After the root process, my firmware will become root 1.15.405 with superuser, is this right?
2. If I flash the desire with the original HTC 1.19.707.7 firmware, my device will become unroot, is this right?
3. How can I have a rooted 1.19.707.7 firmware? I prefer using this version due to the inbuilt Asian support.
Please kindly advise.
Thanks!

Can anyone advise?
Thanks in advance!
no one care to advise?
I'm new to Android as well.
But, yes to your 1st question.
After following the guide by Paul you will get 1.15.405 with superuser.
The device will be unrooted once flashed with an original HTC rom.
I'm not sure how to have a rooted 1.19. But if you want support for pinyin, you can either use a Modaco Custom rom and include HTC CIME, or install Google pinyin from the appmarket.

hi bro,
thanks for sharing your experience. Now i am clear on the first 2 queries.
As for the last, can some kind-soul-experts advise?
I always build my own personal rom for each windows device. For android, I am also very interested to get my hands dirty and build my very own personal version. Please kindly point me to the right directions.
Thanks!
Hey guys i have search the internet high and low for anything that can help me accomplish putting a custom ROM on my Motorola razr (xt910) only to find its not that easy,..if anyone can help me accomplish this i would be very grateful.....i am running 2.3.6 and have a locked boot loader!!!!!!!!!!!!! i would love to be running any ics version.again any help would be appreciated !!!!!!!!!:silly::silly::silly::silly::silly::silly:
Same here.:crying:
I'd try on the Razr section. It's full of great guides and how-to's, believe me, I was pretty noob on all the custum things and by one week i was running an Ics leak, then i was tryin' some custum roms on the second system. It's really easy, and risk-free, if you just follow the guides step by step.
Best of luck
Everything you could possibly want when it comes to rooting guides, ROM flashing procedures, etc can be found in the Droid Razr section. Thread closed.
Hello there! Im here with a request if someone can help with unlocking, rooting, clockwork mod and custom rom stuff.
Im using Samsung Galaxy Nexus (GSM) Maguro running on the lastest android 4.3 and since 4.4 is out from 2 weeks or so i really wanna get it on my phone even when Google wont update our gnexus with their latest os. I know the current state of the KitKat 4.4 AOSP versions is not 100% stable and mainly those gfx issues when rotating and stuff but ill be okay.
I know there are alot of guides out there but all i need is a simplified one with intel from where to start to where to end it.
There are many stuff on the internet ive already searched but somehow i dont do it because of all the info inside it.
I know to read and before my galaxy nexus i had the Sony X8 using custom rom GDX+ and it worked well everything was easy. But with my nexus now i think there are more things to do now.
All im asking is the easiest way to get it ready to flash the package and the GAPPS. (i already picked the one from here and i have the gapps on my pc) Now i need info on how to unlock and everything with clockworkmod and backup my current os.
Thanks in advance!
No offense, but if you can't follow the guides in here on how too unlock/custom recovery/root then no one in the world can.
The methods showed here are simplest as it gets!!
As a last alternative, try the GNEX TOOLKIT V11.1.0

Hi I second this. I would also like a stable, stock, deodexed, rooted and busyboxed kitkat rom for my gsm gnexus with instructions on flashing and installing gapps. Any advice is much appreciated.

Hey ADDOriN, what's up?
First of all, I found the same problem as you... I spent some hours trying to understand the whole process and honestly didn't reach my goal... The tutorial pointed out by the friend t1.8matt is great and easy, but if you don't feel confartable yet, you can try to follow the steps on youtube video called "How To Root Android 4.3 On the galaxy nexus" made by Manley (sorry, but as a noob, I can't post the link)
Some considerations about:
- the tutorial uses CWM but depending on the version of 4.4, you should use TWRP... The process to apply the image file is the same, differing only in root step
- if your bootloader is locked, in the moment you unlock it, all your data will be erased, so a backup is highly recommended
The GNex Toolkit 11.1.0 quoted by the friend wysefreakz is easier than made everything by hand, but honestly, I didn't find an information if it is or isn't compatible with 4.3 version, so I chose to the "hand-made" method.
Just to say, I used custom firmwares on my old Defy and made the same for a Galaxy S, but I found some doubts to gnexus (even had converted it from yakjuvs to yakju in the past)
I hope I can help you
I would not use a toolkit, as pointed out by many experienced users, they can do more harm than good. Not always the case but it is possible. I you get the android SDK setup on your computer, its actually not hard using adb and fastboot once you learn the commands. There are plenty of tutorials out there to help you with getting it setup and learning about adb and fastboot.
@leocasarin, @t1.8matt, @wisefreakz Thank you guys!
Actually there is no problem for me is to follow slowly the tutorials here and there. I made this thread to ask if there is something i didnt found my rolling on the forums or the internet as general. @t1.8matt yes the tutorial you give me is maybe the one ill follow. @leocasarin i will follow the ideas you said to me and im really thankful.
NINJA EDIT: I just used the video tutorial posted from @leocasarin and i completed everything and i now have KitKat 4.4! KUDOS FOR YOU MATE <3
Hello there!
I purchased the new HTC One M8 and it is just AMAZING!
I came from Galaxy SIII... and the differences are huge and I don't regret my move
Anyways, when flashing something on SIII and rooting the device was VERY simple and user-friendly..
I could change ROMs without any problem and knew every step and step.
But after checking how to install a costum room on the M8 I feel like I don't understand anything.
I need a really detailed guide to how to flash a costum ROM? what do I need for it? how to root the device? what is S-OFF S-ON..?
I really know nothing about how to flash costum ROMs to HTC device ...
And I don't know where to start from and which ROM to choose, so please i'd like to have a very detailed step by step guide for rooting + flashing costum ROMs
Thanks!

Hello,
I am Dibyasan, I am a YU yureka user and recently i started learning about android platform and I am using my yureka to learn. I am using YU Yureka Kitkat 4.4.4 rooted and CWM Recovery Installed. I have some confusion regarding the update. Scenario Details:
My phone recieved the incremental OTA update(sim functionality and proximity fix) after rooting but i didn't yet updated or installed the update. The questions that I need some answers immediately are:
Should I flash the CM12 (5.0.2) update manually or over OTA?
Can I be able to flash the official Lollipop Rom (CM12) with my phone being rooted and running CWM recovery?
Is the ROM released is stable?
Some Experience about the phone:
After rooting I am using android tuner app to learn the system tweaks. And changing some governors helped me gain some battery juice when i needed it the most(Underclocking) . But theres a little issue i found recently after rooting whenever i connect the mobile data and simultaneously listen to some music on play i hear some crackling sounds both on external speaker and headset. Everything else is flawless.
120fps video recording would be icing on the cake
Why thinking of updating :
I think updating the system might fix the issue i mentioned above.
Expecting some help from you all guys. If I should update manually, a guide would be most appreciated. although I have a rough idea of flashing but i don't want to end up bricking the phone. So Guys Please help me ASAP.
Thanks In Advance
