[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valdtun:
Device already unlocked?

Hello,

I am also new to gaining root access on android devices, and I could use some help.

I have a Google Nexus 5, and followed the steps using CF Auto Root, but it only says <waiting for device> when started and wont proceed with anything. I have the device in bootloader and it tells me the Lock State is already unlocked. I haven't left CF Auto Root on <waiting for device> for more than 5 minutes, assuming it shouldn't take that long.

So I went ahead and installed SuperSU via Google Play to see what I could do, but SuperSU tells me that there is no SU binary installed, and that if I just upgraded to android 4.3, I will need to manually re-root. However, I have android 4.4.2.

I have used two different root checking applications, but they both told me that my device does not have proper root access.

Superuser also doesn't seem to work. It wont inform me when I try to use an app to perform root access actions.

Any help on what I could do next would be appreciated.

Thanks ~

Valdtun
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Your best bet is to learn to do it manually.

Your next steps are

1) install recovery

2) flash superSU zip from recovery

Recovery is installed by fastboot.

In my signature, is a link to guides and info threads. Click it and then read the thread "adb and fastboot. What is it?"

This will tell you what you need.

Then you can download TWRP recovery image to flash.

Relocking the bootloader will not reset your warranty, for that you would have to run CWMbootunlocker script in twrp or cwm or philz. Oh and here is the link to a good thread to explain all that..

That is because of new SELinux polices which developers will need to workaround it ..

WARNING WARNING WARNING

You could use SELinux mode changer or run setenforce via term emulator and set it to permissive However!! this allows more malware to have access to your phone basiclly

Want to ROOT my N5, just root it, already unlocked bootloader.

Hi,

I just want to root my nexus 5. I am on Android 5.0, updated during the official rollout, and not using any custom flash/ROM.

Boot-loader is already unlocked, I had rooted it when on 4.4.4 Kitkat, but after I updated to Lollipop, all root priviledges were lost.

I do not want to flash any custom ROM or anything, just want to root it.

I found may threads and guides showing how to root is, but all of them included unlocking bootloader or flashing a custom ROM.

I dont even know what a custom ROM is and what is its use?!?! (noob)

Please just help me root my phone.

Apply update to version 2.37?

Hi all,

I rooted my Nexus 5 running Lollipop some time before with CF-Auto-Root. I think Chainfire still used a patched kernel in this approach and installed SuperSU v2.20.

Afaik Chainfire managed to get root without the need for a patched kernel now. Therefore I would like to update to v2.37. Can I? How? Would the kernel stay patched after using the latest CF-Auto-Root? Do I need to go back to the stock kernel before applying the latest CF-Auto-Root? And how to go back to the stock kernel?

Thanks for your help!

N7000- Keeping losing my IMEI & Serial Number on Upgrade

Friends,

I have a Galaxy Note 1 GT - N7000, currently with Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2 and Baseband Version ending with DDLS6. I have been trying to upgrade my Note from JB to Kitkat, i have tried approx 10 different types of Well known Custom ROM's each time i upgrade i am unable to detect a network on my phone.

I am able to get a network when i restore the Original Factory ROM, but do not get a signal with the custom ROM's. I have followed all the steps that are mentioned for upgrading to a Custom ROM Each time.

Primary reason i see after the update is being my IMEI and Serial Number gets set to Unknown. What are the possible reasons this is happening? how can i fix this. I really am looking to get to KitKat, but can't due to this persisting issues.

Thanks

Dear developer!

The last assembly for n7000 you did

Changes:

Bluetooth: Revert CM bluetooth changes so that we are now synced with the official SlimKat.

The result came back the old problem with listening to music via a2dp: If you stop playing for a few minutes, then continue, the sound is distorted and interrupted. This is similar to rewind during playback on the old disc player. On October 17, the assembly of this problem is not present.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fusionjack:
when you mentioned IMEI problem, it is mostly a RIL issue. this could happen if you change your modem baseband together with the RIL.

on samsung based roms, it is ok to change modem together with the RIL, but on AOSP roms, you need to change modem only without RIL. there are some zip files that contain both ril and modem and there are some that only contains modem. that is what i meant with the modem+RIL.

GetRIL app is the same. you can use this app on samsung roms, but not on AOSP roms because it replaces the RIL.

if you are not changing the modem, then the problem lies somewhere else which i have no idea...

yes, that is the contra of not having cm bt changes. i might consider to put cm changes again.

problem with icon

Hello,

first of all thank you very much for this rom it's really fast and stable.

I have just a minor concern about icon size.

Can I have the same size with the icon on the lower side of the screen (call, internet, msg, photo, button to show all app) than the rest of the screen. Because I have found how to change the size of the global icon but there is still a difference between these icons size. I prefer to have the same size without changing to another launcher.

If it's not possible I will deal with it it's a minor porblem for me =).

Thank you again for your amazing work

Good work Fusionjack!

bluetooth works fine. During the day it took to restart it only 1 time. Wash as well as in the assembly of 17 October.

Bad that the phone was hang. "android not response" - it seems as it is called. With the included screen just stops responding. During the day it happened 3 times, always in different applications: SMS, navigation, and mail.

Updated over the previous build by formatting / system, / cache / dalvic.

Thanks for the answers, but it just kinda confirm my question. I indeed get the Skype version 4.9 to work, however it still behaves different from how it should be ( no dial screen pops up when calling skype to skype so have to use the call button in top right corner), but since the later versions work on other Kitkat roms, I had hoped that there would be a mod to have them also work on the Slimsaber.

For the rest the Slimsaber is the best Rom I've encountered yet, especially the battery life and smoothness which are really superior to any other Rom available.

Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to the Android L update.

Edit to add: I'll better keep with Skype version 4.9.0.45564 as it works on my N7000 using ART runtime, where the modded version seems to work only on Dalvik.
