is there away to install SuperSU when you have stock recovery? I'm thinking that we have to have either CWM/TWRP to install the zip. or am I having a brain fart on this.....
Thanks for whomever can clear my cobwebs..
You need a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM).

You can install it if you have the bootloader unlocked.
Use boot command instead of flash to boot into custom recovery and install su.
e.g
Fastboot boot twrp.img

Yes, this.
However, why bother keeping stock recovery at all? Stock recovery is effectively neutered once rooted, as you can no longer install an OTA.

Thanks this worked :good:
so when I go into recovery now I get a image of a htc one with a red triangle and exclamation mark inside of it?? since I have never went into recovery on this phone before isn't it supposed to look like any other stock recovery??? and if this isn't right I have tried flashing the recovery already and still get the same result... can someone expand on this for me pls

i sold the phone and this is what they requested. I know the OTA wont work and I never keep stock recoveries on my phones but.... I guess they will find out for themselves

Sounds like somebody that is a bit ill-informed. They want root, but they probably also want OTA (the 2 don't go together, IMO) and heard that you need stock recovery for OTA. I suppose they can change everything back that they modified with root, and unroot or hide root to install the OTA. But it just seems they are making life more complicated than it needs to be.
Also sounds like its a person that wants root, but not willing to do it themselves. But I suppose that's not really your problem!
Option to root and have ota is very easy :
Stock rom (unmodified but rooted)
Stock recovery
And you can ota. The ota will probably delete superuser but that's about it. The ota will not fail because its rooted as long as the stock rom/apps are unmodified

Only if absolutely nothing was changed with the stock ROM.
Its more my point there is little point to installing OTAs on a rooted device.

I don't understand that statement. I still run stock sense, but with a few additions that don't affect ota's. So I still get updates while having things configured the way I want. I can also run things that require root such as titanium backup and a few others.

Because once you accept an OTA, you will be unrooted. You will have to root again, either by installing custom recovery (than back to stock recovery so you can OTA) or the trick of booting custom recovery via adb to flash SU (as described here). Its just a lot of jumping through hoops with little added value.
On the other hand, if you have custom recovery installed, you can flash any of the array of stock rooted or awesome custom ROMs posted here. This includes stock rooted ROMs taken from OTA updates from lots of versions (often posted within days of the OTA starting to roll out), not just your carrier, so you can possibly get an update much faster than waiting for the OTA to roll out from your carrier (although that depends on what carrier version you have). You also don't have to constantly be worried "well, if I change this I won't get OTAs". You can do whatever the heck you want, and isn't that really the whole point of root?
Its just my opinion. And a lot of this may stem from the fact that I'm on AT&T, who are not only agonizingly slow about rolling out OTAs (sometimes 3-4 months or even later than other carriers on my past HTC device) and have even went to the effort to close exploits and prevent unlocking of bootloaders when rolling out new OTAs (on the One X EVITA). In fact there was even a bug (I assume it was a bug - others may accuse that it was intentional) where installing the Jellybean OTA with SuperCID and S-on bricked the phone.
As I said, its just an opinion. But there are many others on XDA that will agree that OTAs have no place on rooted Android devices.
And to be fair, I did cover myself and stated "there is little point" instead of "there is no point"
I have read several threads on debloating this device, including this really good one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/help/debloating-t2805503 . The info there that eliminating split-screen capability should be most useful!
However, I don't have enough experience to find the answer to my question from what I have read. If I use any of the relevant root tools to de-crap the machine, or if I just root, will I lose the ability to receive OTA updates? If so, is there any way to apply them short of waiting for someone to come out with a new ROM?
Is freezing with Titanium safe for this purpose, since nothing is removed? Or do I need to save the old stock ROM, and reload it, do the update, and then re-root and re-freeze everything?
Thank you for your indulgence, given that I'm sure that the answer is in several threads and I just don't know enough to identify it.
Root = no OTA, simple. Once an update comes out easiest thing to do is to download the new firmware from somewhere like Sammobile and flash using Odin, then re-root. Sammobile often releases the update before the OTA starts rolling out!

For titanium backup freezing just stops the apk from running and is safe because nothing is removed and when you install a new rom update, the things that were frozen will unfreeze since it requires root to freeze apps. Just follow what @killall said and that should do it. And if you root you can install twrp to backup your whole rooted rom as it was and restore back too it if you did something wrong while you were on the rooted rom.

Doesn't flashing with Odin wipe data also, so it's not just simple re-rooting? Rooting doesn't prevent updating with Kies if I'm correct, does it matter whether you have custom recovery or not?

I found a way to set my device status to official even though im rooted. Since I set the status to official I can check for updates without the custom software popup but I not tryed installing any updates since there are not any new updates atm.

I mean that of course it doesn't wipe your pictures and such, but flashing with Odin will wipe application data and restoring it from e.g. Titanium backup does take long time.
Here's hoping the custom ROM community picks up the slack and puts out a decent ROM this device sorely needs...

Hello,
I always had a HTC, so I'm kind of a new with rooting and unlocking an LG.
I have a LG D855 international and I have been reading a lot in this forum and I think that I've figured it out. But I just wont to be sure.
So if I'm right than I can root my phone by running purpledrake. When I've done that I have to install SU.
But if I understand it correcly the only way to get twrp is with" Bump'ed TWRP" so it's only possible to have TWRP if I use a custom rom?
So it's not possible to have orig Rom an TWRP? Right?
But If I just root my phone with purpledrake, so without installing TWRP and without custom Rom, I would still be able to use EXPOSED? RIght?

Yes Purple Drake is currently the most reliable root method, once you have root you need to install the SuperSU app of your choice.
Don't confuse yourself with Bump! Just accept that this is the only recovery that works with the G3 and install it then use it like normal. You will only be able to flash custom kernels (and roms with custom kernels) after they have been bumped, this is something the developer will do for you not anything for you to be concerned with, and fairly soon (when this method is released) all custom roms and kernels you find on xda will be pre-bumped - so basically you can treat the recovery like you always have done.
Xposed is nothing to do with recovery and everything to do with having root access.
Does this recovery back up my stock rom safely? I'm hesitant to use it because I've never heard of bump.

Nope, afaik, once on bumped twrp, u can't restore stock recovery. For that you will again have to flash the stock KDZ.
OK so it's only for bumped roms. Thank you

The user above you is wrong and didnt read your question properly.
You CAN back up your stock ROM, just install bump, head to recovery and do a backup - you will never get stock recovery back though, unless you flash a KDZ with Flashtool.
But yes you can use TWRP to back up your currenty stock ROM.
Okay I get it the only way to restore the rom that I backed up is to add bump to it! ok I got it but in order to get back my stock phone I'm going to have to use the LG flash tool right

I wonder is it possible to flash stock unrooted OOS over rooted OOS in order to install small OTAs. After updates plan to root again. Does anyone know whether this is possible or not? And, any side effects could occur?
I search over internet and couldn't find any useful info about this.
Thanks in advance.
Technically you'll be updating your device by flashing the newest stock anyway. No need for OTAs. You can then re-root.

Not what i meant. Let's say I'm on rooted OB18. But i want to update it to OB19. all i have is OB18 stock firmware. So, can i flash OB18 over rooted OB18 and then update it to OB19 (ota). Then re-root.

Plan to keep a copy of OB18 around? If so, then yea absolutely it should work. Root will either modify your system or your kernel depending on the method, which both get overwritten if you flash stock.
Issue you'll probably end up having in the future though is that if you always use OB18, when it comes time to install OB20, you'll be downgrading without a wipe, which I don't think is a great idea.

No you can't.
Because OTA will fail for "partition mismatching": the systemless root alters only but anyhow the /boot partition.
You must update with FOTA (Full OTAs), doesn't matter you're using stock or TWRP recovery.
The OxygenOS built-in updater should detects your system as modified and download only FOTAs.

Let's say he has open beta 18, rooted and twrp installed, if he flashes ob18 again over it, this will get rid both of the root and twrp, resulting in an untouched system, therefore, ota after this will be possible. He can then flash back twrp and root the device

But practically speaking, it's crazy to unroot system only for OTA.
It would be more reliable to download FOTAs on rooted system.
Then, if @GTRanushka is running Magisk (MagiskSU) as root method, it could be working even after firmware update.
Because of its systemless nature.

In order to flash OTAS has to have stock rom but also recovery stock and bootloader blocked but not installed the OTAS otherwise it tells you that you have something modified and you have to download the complete rom. (That does not suit you)

I tried it with the bootloader open and I did not think that something is not right that it has to download complete the rom.:
This Rooted Combination Firmware that can be used for various reasons that include changing carrier codes, entering service menus and various secret dialer codes. The firmware is rooted and also has Safestrap recovery installed. This is not meant to be used as an everyday rom this is only intended to achieve root or use combo firmware tools with added feature of root. This is for V5 Bootloader devices

Reboot phone to download mode
Use the Odin3_v3.13 provide above
1. In odin select BL_COMBINATION_FA70_G955USQU5ARH8_PART_1_AND_3.tar.md5 and load in BL slot of odin do not change the options make sure Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time are checked Click Start
2. Phone will automatically reboot as soon as phone powers off hold buttons to reboot back to download
3. In odin make sure to click reset button then in AP slot in odin choose AP_SAFESTRAP_RESCUE_SYSTEM_IMAGE.tar.md5 make sure Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time are checked Click Start
4. When don flashing it will say fail in odin and phone will reboot. Reboot phone to download. If phone reboots to upload mode force it to reboot too download mode
5. In odin make sure to click reset button then in BL slot in odin choose BL_COMBINATION_FA70_G955USQU5ARH8_PART_1_AND_3.tar.md5 make sure Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time are checked Click Start
6. When done flashing phone will reboot too safestrap if it doesnt force reboot to recovery and wipe data
7. When booted to safestrap copy COMBO_SYSTEM.img to phone
8. In safestrap choose install select install image and choose COMBO_SYSTEM.img and flash to system
9. When done if you have not wiped data then choose wipe in safestrap then advanced wipe and select to wipe data. Wipe and reboot

Well If you have a sprint sim it will change it to sprint the csc stuff is set by what sim you have you could manipulate this on earlier versions of nougat but not now. It is possible to use TMO csc on sprint but you would have to run a safetrap system so you can modify the csc features .xml If you want to go back to stock firmware you simply flash it. Safetrap does not replace the stock recovery. You can still boot to stock recovery with safetrap installed
