Using Framaroot gives you permanent root o.O

I dont really understand what you are trying to say, but if your question is that after rooting through framaroot, will you be able to use nexus root toolkit in future to perform root specific functions, then the answer is yes. I've successfully rooted using framaroot(gandalf method) and unlocked using boot unlocker, everything works fine. Flashed custom recovery using wugfresh toolkit. I wont touch rom manager even if it works with nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] arunkr:
Could u give a link to the toolkit u used for flashing recovery?...I presume it doesn't need PC??
[Nexus 4 General] codeknight11:
Toolkits NEED pc. But, I will search for alternate methods like flashing custom recovery through stock recovery and let you know.

Hey guys, help needed. It's been a week since I bought the phone and I'm thinking of rooting my Nexus 4, primarily for the Cerberus Anti-theft app. (Not planning on flashing a custom ROM so soon.) Since I'm new to rooting, I'm going to ask some really noob questions. But I'll try to precise, so please don't get mad. :p

1. As per what I've read, rooting requires the device's bootloader to be unlocked. Which means the device will perform a factory reset. Is there a way around this?

2. If no, what is the best option for backing up my data?

3. Obviously, this was the first thing I came across, when I was looking for a rooting guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34744793&postcount=1

Is this method good to go or is there a better and newer alternative to this?

(My Build number is JDQ39)
[Nexus 4 General] codeknight11:
No need to use toolkits to root or unlock your device. I just used 2 apps and got my device rooted and unlocked. Used Framaroot.apk from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2130276 to root (no need to unlock). And then used boot unlocker from playstore to unlock bootloader (doesnt wipe data).

Today I was watching Fast & furious 6 720p using MX Player and it is quite fine but not so good as my old phone regarding battery drain. Loosing 1% in average 5 minutes ~ <. And phone heats lit bit too. Using S/W decoder (I think it is the best for phone). Any other good video players with subtitles support or do I need to try the same in H/W decoder ?. Or this drain is quite fine ?

Yep this is the method i followed and i am using my nexus right now rooted by these steps only follow each step in order u will have a rooted phone with custom recovery and den flash as much u want currently using franco kernel r162 this is the fastest method to root the phone hardly took me 5 mins once u have all the apps ready...

for unrooting there is an option in su to remove root

first backup ur stock recovery using flashify or any other app and keep it handy

when u want to unroot flash ur stock recovery from backup or download from forum and flash then remove root thru su app and relock the bootloader thru the boot unlock app :)

So which ROM and kernel are you using that makes u lose 2% in 12hrs?

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 AM ----------

You too. Enlighten me please about your ROM and kernel.
[Nexus 4 General] oSandmaNo:
Its like that for me as well. When I enable USB debugging I can't access memory. There is no mass storage mode for this phone. You can access only via MTP. What you described is normal.

Its same for me on any ROM. If I use custom ROM I always flash Franco kernel. Right now on stock ROM and kernel and its still the same.

Edit: when I was on Docomo I had horrible battery life (I think because of the constant data drops and it rarely reconnected on its own unless I disable and enable data few times, reboot, toggle airplane mode, etc)

Right now on airtel and battery is better.

That's the stock recovery. Flash custom recovery like CWM. Use ROM manager app from play store to flash it. Or use one of the toolkits. You need to be in fast boot mode to flash kernel via toolkit.

now u can put any kernel / rom in ur memory card and flash it thru recovery if u have flashify installed then u can flash ur zip directly within os

when u unlock boot-loader which u have to do to get root and also to flash roms and kernel. so yah. no matter what u use when u unlock the boot-loader all will go back to factory setting. and all extra-thing u might had installed will be deleted..

better backup everything and use toolkit.. thats the most safe way
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
Once you root your device by framaroot, you can download a app called boot unlocker. It locks and unlocks your bootloader without wiping any idea. The only requirement is root. It's pretty amazing.
[Nexus 4 General] N_lover27:
nt sure i it will work.. cz as i hv seen in many threads that before getting root access u hv to unlock bootloader..

if it does work them its good. but i always prefer the traditional full proof method coz the risk is very High

framaroot totally works i have rooted my phone by this method only and den unlocked the bootloader without getting my data wiped and i didnt had to use any toolkit in fact i didnt even have to switch on my laptop everything through my nexus only

and as for the risk it only took me less than 5 minutes to root unlock bootloader and flash custom recovery when i had all the apps ready

---------- Post added at 10:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

1) For unrooting there is an option in the super su app to completely remove root use that and relock bootloader through the same app using which u unlocked.

2)once u are rooted u can search playstore for number of apps to backup ur stock recovery i used flashify to backup my stock recovery and stock kernel for radio i guess u can search apps coz once ur rooted u can backup almost everything

3)yep as ur rooted u can flash everything from radio to kernels to roms mods etc...

4)yes i have used goo manager to install recovery and it installed the latest one i checked it was the latest TWRP recovery.

5) in order to flash thru flashify first u must have a custom recovery like twrp simply put the zip file u wanna flash in ur nexus storage card and select zip in flashify simple as that.

6) download the latest franco kernel i am on r 162 gives amazing battery life and adjust ur colour profile thru franco kernel updater app or any other it really is worth it
