TWRP hasn't been updated since Lollipop's release. I would assume one is coming.

You say "or is x the only way to root" like its the same thing. I'm not sure if I'm reading it wrong, but in case I'm not, the kernel in recovery is not linked to the kernel in android. Any changes made in one won't reflect the other. ...and recovery is nothing to do with root.
[Nexus 5 General] NitroOnTheRocks:
I know. I did a bad explanation of my question....

I think I'll wait for a new custom TWRP recovery to be released.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
FWIW, I don't havethe issues some people are reporting on TWRP. Some report that if they take a backup, it doesn't show up until the restorecon command is run again. However mine show up. Maybe the difference is I wiped my /sdcard when I upgraded so have never had to restorecon
[Nexus 5 General] NitroOnTheRocks:
Thnaks a lot for this info.

I was planning on a full clean install, including wiping my sd card.

I might try this now with TWRP 2.8.1.0.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
If you do, please let me know how it goes.
[Nexus 5 General] 33t:
I've been flashing with CWM (several 5.0 roms with most available bases including the last preview - _____Q) and never had trouble. This is with totally clean ADB side loads and also "clean" flashes without wiping SD.

I just fastbooted the official stock image from an empty phone and again - no trouble.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Thanks. We know it works for some people. This is just really a warning for those who aren't expecting it ahead of time. Please don't take this the wrong way, but we don't need to record successes.
[Nexus 5 General] 33t:
literally the post above you said "let me know how it goes".

i saw no discussion on CWM or fast boot so i thought i'd say i've had success with both.

anyways point taken and moving on.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Sorry - the post above was in reply to an off-topic question.
[Nexus 5 General] ASAPSEVEN:
So let me get this straight because of the android 5.0 official update you can't flash a custom recovery like cwm recovery by using fastboot?
[Nexus 5 General] :
No. You can flash custom recoveries in fastboot.

If you don't take the correct measures from the OP it will revert to stock recovery or break recovery at first boot.
[Nexus 5 General] cesar.maranhao:
i am having a problem here. i did not read all the pages though.

i made a clean installation of lollipop (so i also have installed those files you are talking about), intalled TWRP and it asked me if i wanted to be rooted when i left the recovery for the first time. i accepted and then i installed supersu from playstore.

each time i need to access my recovery i have to flash it again bcause it always sents me the the dead android with the red exclamation mark. i suspect the recovery is being overwritten but i do not know why, where and how.

how can i solve this?

thanks
[Nexus 5 General] thenighthawk:
What I did was full flashed the factory image first. Then, I put TWRP and then I rooted with Chainfire Root. This worked for me.
[Nexus 5 General] vercety974:
Yes, flash the entire Lollipop image. Boot one time ans then, flash twrp and cf auto foot.
[Nexus 5 General] Maxx247:
flashed 5.0 stock rom no root but i just flashed twrp succecssfully but when i tried to go into recovery twrp logo appeared for some sec. and then phone auto restarted.how to fix it ? any suggestions?
[Nexus 5 General] ASAPSEVEN:
I fixed it myself I just flashed the stock recovery from the 4.4 factory image and the flashed cwm recovery and it worked on the first try. I've been doing this stuff for years ever since the HTC hero I know what I'm doing I just had to think it out. ?
[Nexus 5 General] :
Glad you got it sorted out :)
[Nexus 5 General] William_robe:
Same here. Only CWM works.
[Nexus 5 General] Boonyard:
I've been flashing lollipop ROMs with no issue for a while. Suddenly I can't download things or transfer things onto the SD card even by USB. It's like I've lost permissions.

I do still have twrp, but flashing different ROMs doesn't help. I guess going back to factory images might solve this?

how to decompress lollipop .dat files

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=57633970
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sandys1:
I have been trying really hard to replace my One XL with a new Lollipop enabled phone, but have been hard pressed to find a replacement. the OPO is brilliant, but is a bit too big for me (though I might still cave in).

So, considering I am planning to stick with my One XL for sometime, I'm trying to see if we can get devs interested in porting Lollipop over. The biggest advantage that I'm looking for is performance and battery life boost - due to Volta and ART, which may extend the usefulness of the One XL considerably.

Why should you be excited for Lollipop on the One X

Material Design UI - http://www.wired.com/2014/11/googles-quest-write-rulebook-interactive-design/

ART and Project Volta - http://www.latinpost.com/articles/16930/20140711/android-l-battery-life-glance-project-volta-art.htm

REQUIREMENTS:

Be the first person to create the following:

AOSP Android 5.0 OR Cyanogenmod 12 port OR Paranoid Android Lollipop port for the One XL

Voice+data (atleast HSDPA), Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC

ART instead of Dalvik

Project Volta enabled

Make a post in this thread with the following:

Proving it works with appropriate photos and/or screenshots

Providing full step-by-step instructions for which anyone else can follow

Confirmation from at least 2 persons on these forums that the ROM is working

sandys1 - 10$

eyemyt - 15$.

obsidian_eclipse - 15$
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eyemyt:
I'm in. My pledge 15$.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sandys1:
great to see the ball rolling !
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] obsidian_eclipse:
Are bounties payable via PayPal? We all live in different countries and that would probably be the safest and most effective way of doing it.

If the above features can be worked in (im tempted to make it harder and say have Sense added to - because I like sense) then I'll add $15 to the sum so far.

An indication from a developer on the scale of the job and its setbacks, realism and expectations too would be appreciated early on.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sandys1:
IMHO Sense is closed source - what has happened till now is that binaries of Sense UI have been made to run on newer and newer Android versions (going to 4.3 I think). However, as the newer Android diverges from what was the original intended Android version (for Sense), it becomes harder and harder. I think Sense development has pretty much stagnated on the Evita because of this.

I would say it will be a little hard and unrealistic for Sense to be ported over as such - but I think you will love what Lollipop and Material Design UI has tooffer. If you have the change to spare, I think it would be a good bet !

Last time around (in the Evita bootloader unlock), we transferred the bounty using Paypal. I'm planning to do mine that way this time as well.

Take a look at http://www.wired.com/2014/11/googles-quest-write-rulebook-interactive-design/
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] CyanJustice:
You mean AOSP.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sandys1:
Not sure what you mean. I was replying to the poster above who was asking for the possibility of Sense being ported to lollipop on this phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] obsidian_eclipse:
Ok lollipop does look pretty great sans sense so it sounds like a good investment, provided a reasonable time scale for it's production, so hopefully the pledges will come in.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] CyanJustice:
Oh yeah he did, my bad lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sandys1:
CM12 work has started - https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android/tree/cm-12.0 Now, it's upto a dev to volunteer for the evita!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] paras33:
Waiting for the good news.....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sandys1:
this is not for the evita - this is for nexus 5 and newer variants. In fact if we do not convice someone to build a CM12 variant in time, our phone will be dropped from any nightly builds :(

http://www.landofdroid.com/2014/cm12-roadmap-leaked-exciting/

Which is why this bounty was created in hope of accelerating that development.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] CyanJustice:
Well psh, we're definitely not pre-ICS.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] obsidian_eclipse:
I've always been of the opinion that HTC could have quite easily given us KitKat officially but they wanted to push people to upgrade unnecessarily. From the way lollipop sounds android promote it as being faster and more efficient than either KitKat or jellybean so if anything it should be pretty decent on our hardware.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You hit the nail right on the head there, that's exactly why they don't provide official updates. They're a business and profit is their bottom line. If they provide updates for older devices then the owners of those older devices have less reason to upgrade, less people upgrading means less profit for them.

Transmitted via Bacon
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] CyanJustice:
Yeah but you'd think people will upgrade naturally because of better hardware and specs, etc.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Some do, but others are more focused on squeezing as much out of their current device as they can.

Transmitted via Bacon
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sarichter:
Exactly, that's why I still have my HTC Inspire 4G, HTC One X, and my new LG G3. No sense in getting rid of the old ones when they work great with all of the ROM development that occurs! That old Inspire works great as a walkman while out in the mountains!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] undivide:
should just be happy with the kk roms and cm11 with gapps until something better comes out. I really like the 5.0 interface but it is really nothing ground breaking
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] paras33:
Agreed...only thing to look to is if any real performance improvement....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sandys1:
As Jony Ive says, UX is not how it looks .... UX is how it works. Material Design and the Lollipop 5.0 interface is fundamentally changing how people interact with their Android phones. I am very excited by what it is bringing in.

http://www.wired.com/2014/11/googles-quest-write-rulebook-interactive-design/
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] undivide:
very true. it is a lot more fluid and my wife can appreciate that doing simple things like navigating between apps and such.

personally I look to improvements in hardware over software and interface though I know you can't really have one without the other and such
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Soenisti:
Well I'm trying to build it as I write this!

Got hte code down for cm-12.0 and have some changes already in to try to get it to build and it gets most of the way through... will post more when I have an update!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] CyanJustice:
Dude awesome! Keep up the good work!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Soenisti:
Woohoo! It built! Had to remove Camera and 2 tests so it would build properly (the code is still being ported so those don't build properly yet without a lot of hacking!) so I have a set of .img files and am going to try to package those for flashing.

Or if someone is brave enough to try it right now I'm also uploading the .img files in a tar ball and will post the link soon. Absolutely no guarantees!!!!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] obsidian_eclipse:
Very interesting.. So you had no problems with drivers for the rest of the hardware, just the camera? (I'm not brave enough to try)

[emoji16] Good luck!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Soenisti:
Well it mostly booted! In the end the NFC services were FC'ing so often that once it got past the first error it flashed about 10 more in quick succession and then reset. But the CM12 CyanogenMod interface looks really good! Gonna keep building and trying although might take NFC out as well this time.

Also /system was suspiciously empty...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sandys1:
Why don't you apply to cyanogenmod to make your code the official cm12 branch. That way, you get the leverage of the CM infrastructure and lots of help.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Soenisti:
Yeah I will but it might not help as my build server is on a private network behind a firewall (it's at work using a large server for the power!!!) and I'd tried before for Carbon but the access was never right.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] quarterbreed:
I hope this is still being worked on, no status updates in awhile :(

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cepillado:
I've only been using it for 3 days straight, and I have to say that it has been pretty good. Everything seems to function (camera, browser, sms, calls...). The only bad thing for me is that I can't use the Xposed Framework because it hasn't been update to work with L devices.

Performance has really improved, I feel it a lot smoother now, and the battery lasts longer now (I can't exactly tell how long since I haven't tested this correctly, but I'll keep trying).

Overall, I consider that it could be used as an everyday ROM.

Basically you need to find others with your device to see what roms are available for it. A rom is not dependent on a kernel... A rom requires a kernel, but custom roms almost ALWAYS include a kernel that works with it.

You won't find much help in this Paranoid Android forum. We don't officially support anything but Nexus, oppo, and OnePlus
