do you have to re-root whenever you do OTA updates though?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GrenW:
Look at the batch file in the zip. It does 2 things :

- unlocks the bootloader

- flashes the SuperSU binaries

Nothing else.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kuyam:
If you open the .bat file you see that instead of flashing a different img to the device it only boots the image through "fastboot boot". This is a non-permanent way of booting up kernels/recoveries. This way the original recovery remains in place, but in order to issue the fastboot boot command you do need an unlocked bootloader, so that is why you are required to unlock.

OTA Survival/Survival Mode in Super-SU.

---------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------

This method uses the fact that when you have fastboot you can choose to only "boot" a selected kernel once until next reboot.

Anyway I'll document the list of steps CF-Root does.

1. Unlocks the boot loader (may wipe data)

(Calls out command : Fastboot oem unlock)

2. Boots a "Special" kernel made by Chainfire.

(This is : Fastboot boot boot.img)

(is a combination of our stock kernel but boots into a special script Chainfire built within it)

3. The kernel then carries the same commands as a recovery installation would e.g Pushes SuperUser.apk to System/app, Pushes SU binary, and Daemon, CHMODs 755 e.t.c (it does all that automatically)

4. The kernel exits out and reboots back into the system where you have your normal kernel because you never flashed it. (Only booted into it).

------------------

Extra :

Advantages over ADB insecure method

- Quicker

- Easier (noob friendly)

- Easier process to automate.

- The script is attached to the device's stock kernel (which is the kernel CF-root boots and is in the program's directory). The script by this assumption can be added to the kernel quite quickly.

-------------------

Disadvantages.

- No adb running as root (although chainfire made an app which let's you do this without a specialised kernel)

[MENTION=4671636]sewer56lol[/MENTION] Does that mean that every time you reboot the phone you lose root?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
No but after OTA's you might lose it, I lost it when I got the 4.3 update for my N7. I had to reroot it.

Thanks ChainFire, my new Nexus 5 is now rooted :D

Hi,

I wanna root my device with CF but I wanna make a nandroid of my clean android. Can I just make a nandroid after it is rooted or will the root also be in the nandroid. I want a clean nandroid so if I ever need to return my phone I can use my nandroid

Thanks

Got you a few biertjes [beers] Chainfire

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sewer56lol:
No , the specialised modified kernel extracts the files into system required for root and reboots.

Therefore you still keep root because it's files are there. This is how this method works.

Just rooted my Nexus 5. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] evaradar:
Nice! Will be looking forward to this!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] happycadaver:
Great work! And also for Mac, thank you!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danmullen:
I rooted my Nexus 5 before using it for the first time. Then, on first boot, I was told there was a 139MB update available. After installing, I appear to have lost root - Super SU states that no su binary is installed and it can't install it for me.

Is that to be expected after the initial downloaded update? I'm guessing I just need to run the auto-root batch file again. Also guessing it won't wipe again as I've already unlocked the bootloader once.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Correct on all counts.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danmullen:
Thanks very much Chainfire :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kid_droid:
This is just rooting the phone I assume no custom recovery. Can I install a custom recovery through an app like goo manager after this? . Would I have to use Cmd prompts.

Recovery is installed via fastboot on Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] OneOfOne:
since those of us who bought from the play store are getting 'unlocked' phones then rooting should be ultra simple shouldnt it? just run the batch file and its done. or am I missing something?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] theorioles33:
Strange. I can access my phone from the computer so the drivers are working but when I run the bat file it just says "waiting for device". I'm in the correct mode on the phone and using Windows 7. Any suggestions?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] stuart0001:
Or use flahify app to flash the recovery IMG directly from the phone.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sewer56lol:
If that's your thing :)

It's surely very useful.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] CBers:
Or even flashify ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] theorioles33:
For anyone having issues with "waiting for device" or "device not found" this is what I did to fix it.

With your phone plugged into your computer go to device manager, right-click on Nexus 5 under "portable devices" and click uninstall the drivers. Then click "find hardware changes" so it finds your phone again. Find the Nexus 5 with the "!" on it under device manager. Right-click again and click "update drivers", Navigate to the drivers that you can download from here http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html#top

From there Windows should load the appropriate drivers and CF-Root will now see your device. This worked for me. Hope this is clear and it works for you.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Andrew025:
I had no issues on 8.1

You may have to uninstall and re install drivers.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ishamm:
Did you have to install drivers manually?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kid_droid:
I don't know how mac works. But I deleted all android related devices from device manager. Then put phone into USB debugging mode then fastboot. Plugged the USB and waited for driver to be installed. Actually referred to mine as the nexus 4. The launch the . Bat and follow instructions on PC and then use volume rocker for bootloader as usual. Be patient with every step and see the red android and reboot takes about 3 minutes result. :)

Donate to CF if it works. Thanks again.

Is there any reason why we couldn't just download the SuperSU zip (http://download.chainfire.eu/351/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip) and flash it via recovery?

Does the above work with the Nexus 5?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Chad_Petree:
Will this prevent me from getting the OTA updates? I could install them manually that doesn't bother me , but I had a bad experience when I rooted my nexus 4, when I tried to apply the update manually it didnt go throgh, it always gave a " operation aborted" message :mad: , why was that? Would it be the same if i root my nexus 5?

I unlocked my bootloader and everything was erased ( as expected), let's say I want to keep stock , unrooted for a while and then root it , will it erase again all my data? that happened to me to when I rooted my nexus 4 , months after unlocking my bootloader :mad::crying:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Leviathan13:
Thanks m8 this really helped me out as I was having problems however did not realise I was trying to manually install/update driver when it was hooked up in MTP mode *Facepalm* .....once I had it hooked up int Fastboot mode I was able to update the driver in Device Manager and unlock!

This was with Win 8.1 & USB 3.0 as well

Thanks CF: 54D402274D3785007
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Chainfire:
That does essentially the same thing. With CF-Auto-Root you just don't need to install a custom recovery first. Also, CF-Auto-Root is generally released before the custom recoveries are ... :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] carlese:
Hi Chainfire.. thanks for your hard work.. can't wait to flash your cf-root and unlock the bootloader.. btw, i am using supersu on other devices, and even if i uncheck notifications,when i run titanium backup or other root applications i get a notification "titanium backup has been granted superuser permissions".. is it a bug? I get this message on every version of your superuser..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kid_droid:
With my nexus devices. Usually when you have rooted it. Back up the rom which basically stock but rooted and you will receive OTA. And can manually flash or just use root keeper apps. Because usually you tend lose root if you flash OTA directly that's all.

Just root now before you put stuff on phone personally that's what I would do. Otherwise things will kept getting wiped. Restoring root never tends to wipe things because you just flashing supersu again that's if you have a recovery in place.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Chainfire:
That really belongs in the SuperSU thread, but have you used fix permissions scripts in CWM or TWRP ? Because that is known to cause this issue. Unfortunately I've never really been able to replicate it myself, so I can't really fix it (you have to find the problem before you can repair it)

You don't need rootkeeper apps, SuperSU has OTA survival mode. You just need to turn it on (with one caveat - it doesn't work if you're on an old version of SuperSU and upgrading to 4.3+ from 4.2-)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] torana355:
1. download file

2. extract files

3. Enable USB debugging then Boot your Nexus into fastboot mode

4. Open terminal

5. navigate to the directory where you extracted the CF root files, if you don't know how to do this put the files lose in your home directory.

6. type in following command in terminal- sh root-mac.sh

7 Hit enter and follow on screen instructions from there.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kout:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] javier180:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Rhatfield25:
Its essentially the same step. Once you unlock the BL, it roots it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Smithyster:
Thanks for this. I wasn't sure what I was doing in Terminal either.

Thanks for the root Chainfire :good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] javier180:
I dont get how thats possible when there are 2 different steps. Go to Android Centeral and see what I mean.

In order to unlock the bootloader they say perform this

The how is even easier. Turn on USB debugging on your Nexus, plug it in to a computer with a working SDK, and type the following commands:

adb reboot-bootloader

fastboot oem unlock

For rooting Xda says download this app called CF-Auto Root and perform the steps in the first page..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Evo_Shift:
After I run this and root my phone I can use:

fastboot oem lock

And that should re-lock the phone so that it is completely stock other than root files right? And when an OTA comes in theory I would just need to re-run this tool and re-lock my phone right?

I just want a locked, rooted phone and from what I see this should work in that case but just want someone to say, "Yep".

Edit - I suppose unlocking the bootloader is going to wipe me every time though. Damn, guess I 'll keep it unlocked.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] stuart0001:
This tool unlocks the bootloader then roots.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lopri:
I can un-root just as easily after using this, I suppose? Using the stock .img file and adb commands?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nyknicks8:
I am having a weird issue with email syncing. I have several email and exchange accounts set up with syncing scheduled for every 5 minutes (and push for the exchange accounts) with peak times disabled so that it is supposed to sync every 5 minutes 24/7. I have this exact same setup on my galaxy s3 without issue.

The problem is that 8AM and 5PM everyday syncing stops and will not continue automatic syncing unless I manually sync one time. For example, email was syncing every 5 minutes as schedule before 8AM. Now once it turns 8AM, it does not sync automatically anymore. Around 9AM, I check, and the last sync is anywhere between 7:55AM and 8:04AM. Now once I manually sync once after 8AM, the phone syncs every 5 minutes until 5PM. The same problem occurs again and the phone does not automatically sync until I do one manual sync.

I am on my home wifi network at both times (8AM and 5PM), but it occurs regardless of wifi or mobile data, and I have ensured that master sync is enabled, and under the data usage settings, auto-sync data is enabled, and restrict background data is unchecked.

I have tried restarting the phone. I also cleared all email data and cache from the application menu and deleting the cache from recovery. I then renetered all my email accounts, and the same issue occurred on the dot at 8AM.

My phone is rooted with CWM recovery, but this issue occurred before I even rooted my phone. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Yeah I did try enabling peak times every 5 mins but it didnt work. Battery life isnt too bad, I work nights now and it lasts the entire 12 hour shift with moderate use.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nyknicks8:
I have isolated the issue. It seems like having multiple exchange accounts causes this issue. All my exchange accounts are outlook (ie hotmail). So after I removed all of them except my primary, it is now syncing without issue. This is a serious bug that was introduced in the GS4, as my GS3 does not have this problem.

I am curious is anybody with multiple exchange accounts having or not having this issue?
