Possible to root a Nexus 5 with a fused charging port?

Last week the charging port of my Nexus 5 short-circuited while charging. I was lucky to be in the vicinity and disconnect it asap. The port was burning hot and I had to drop the device. Good news is I wasn't injured and I could prevent my house being burned down. The bad news is the charging port is now inoperable, as is the data function. I can still load via Qi and am already trying to get a replacement.

The really bad news is that the phone is unlocked, but not rooted. So I wonder what options I have to backup/migrate to a new phone. I would like to have a nandroid or titanium backup, but for that I need root. Is there any kind of root exploit available for 5.0.1 or any other way to apply CFAR without a USB cable connection?

Hello.

CF auto root page says: "because you have a newer Android version than listed here, does NOT mean the CF-Auto-Root will not work - there's a good chance that it will!"

Does it work in opposite direction, too?

I have Note 3 SC-01F (Japanese) model running on 4.3 firmware, which I don't want to upgrade. CF download page has only auto root for 4.4 firmware (same model, SC-01F).

Should I try this 4.4 auto root? Will my device be ok? I want to definitely keep it 4.3., I know 4.3 and 4.4 bootloaders do not match, if it has something to do with that.

I tried to search for "cf auto root" archive or something like that, but didn't find any... Was there auto root for 4.3 firmware, at all?

Thanks!!!

P.S No worries bout Knox, tripped already...

Update: New version of CF auto root provided for my SC-01F 4.4 firmware didn't work on 4.3. Phone simply doesn't boot...

Moto G (2nd Generation) Lollipop Root

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]

Hi Chainfire,

On behalf of all the Moto G 2014 users running lollipop could you make a root for our device. I know you already made a root for this device of kitkat but that root doesn't work on lollipop. On lollipop if we try to root the device with the kitkat root it boot-loops for about 10-15 min before starting up again. I am requesting, if you have the time, could you make a sufficient root for this deice on lollipop. I read your OP post and wanted to let you know:

The device has a Qualcomm MSM8660 board

The device has and uses separate kernel and recovery partitions

The kernel and recovery format are the boot.img standard (no zImage support)

I have attached the recovery.img for the device on lollipop...I ave also attached the boot.img in case you need that also.

Boot.img: MEGA Link

Recovery.img: MEGA Link

If you need anything else feel free to let me know.

Dear Chainfire,

Would it be possible for you to update the SM-G900F autoroot for 5.0, now that it is being rolled out? Using the version for 4.4.2 with Lollipop naturally flashes the old recovery from 4.4.2 at the end which apparently doesn't play all that nicely with the 5.0 firmware if you ever try to actually boot into the recovery after rooting.

Please find attached the recovery.img extracted with 7z from the stock 5.0 firmware from sammobile, and the boot.img if it is also needed.

Thank you very much!

Edit: 5.0 has just been rolled out widely across Europe including the UK, updated autoroot more needed than ever.

Device and SD Card Encryption under CF-Auto-Root? Errors (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2)

Preface: I have no idea if this is particular to CF-Auto-Root. I did successfully encrypt the Device prior to rooting with CF-Auto-Root, so at its base my tablet and the stock ICS 4.0.3 O/S on it did support Device encryption.

On my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7", stock Android 4.0.3) I used CF-Auto-Root (EXCELLENT!). Now I'm trying to encrypt the SD Card, and it always returns "SD Card Encryption Error" within a few seconds. (And indeed thereafter I always get a Notification about "SD card encryption error" any time the SD card is mounted by the device). If I go back to Settings -> Security -> Encrypt SD card and select to decrypt the card (even though it's not really encrypted), then I can access the SD Card again - no damage was done (and no encryption either).

If I try to encrypt the Device, I get the black background with the large green outline android, and ... nothing. The green android on the black background just stays there. After the normal screen timeout, the screen goes completely blank; I tap the power button, get the usual unlock screen, see the green android again ... and, nothing. If I rotate the tablet, the android rotates. If I tap the power switch, I get the silent/ flightmode/ reboot/ turnoff menu. But nothing will get me back to the normal user interface, and it never finishes (I really think it never starts) encrypting.

Eventually (after more than a couple of hours) I give up, tap the power switch and select to reboot, and it comes back up fine, but not encrypted.

One of my main reasons for getting the newer device was to have encryption :-/

Is Encryption (Device, and SD Card) supported/ functional when CF-Auto-Root is in use on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (Android 4.0.3)?

How do I make it happen?

Thanks!

Wow, I have waited for days because I have found the auto rootkit so hard to work with and even got the donated version to no avail- but this autoroot is indeed newb-proof- it was perfect.

I have a question- just like the iphone, in order to preserve this root status, should I hold off on all firmware updates so that the root doesn't get accidently patched?

Also as a random question, I have indeed obtained the "galaxy note2 toolkit" program, and was wondering when I will be using this program? After all, rooting was the main function I wanted done, nothing else really was needed in my case.
