I tried booting the the root-boot.img file with fastboot boot root-boot.img, the hit adb shell and then su, and it said su: command not found. I assume that means that the root was unsuccessful? Is the file not correct? Using the LRX21V root-boot.img file on my OEM unlocked Nexus player.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] bunchies:
root-boot.IMG give insecure adb so you would use the adb root command. The rest of the script pushes the SU binarys over adb shell after that giving you SU commands and superuser app
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] Haxxa:
Out of interest will rooting prevent OTA updates from installing in the future? Or as mentioned earlier will it just remove root and still OTA Update successfully?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] bunchies:
It would remove root since it would rewrite the entire /system directory so all su binarys would be removed and the OTA would go through just fine

The only way to stop an OTA is custom recovery
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] Haxxa:
Thanks for the info - I used your bat script and it worked perfectly after future updates I guess I should head back here to install new boot image.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] Cuzz1369:
Using Ubuntu after a lot of crap got adb to work. (Sudo kill-server, sudo start-server) but now fastboot does nothing. With or without the sudo command. Fastboot devices just gives me a new line and any fastboot command leaves me waiting for device. Any help?

Hello,

I have not given my Nexus Player any love in a long time so I have not been active in the threads... I hear there is a 5.1 update rolling out and need clarity. Do those of us who did this original rooting method need to do anything in order to be prompted for the update? I would think since the root-boot method does not modify recovery that we would still see the update. Am I correct in my thought process?

cheers
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] bunchies:
Correct, 5.1 is rolled out and I'll end up pushing out an update to this thread for it and might convert this method into a program instead of a .bat file

This method puts SU binarys into the /system/* location and installs the superuser app

You will continue to be notified for updates and if you do take the update it will remove SU access because an update will wipe /system and reflash it with a new system.img from the update zip
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] efrant:
I haven't yet seen the OTA update file for the Nexus Player, but if it is similar to the 5.1 OTA update files for the Nexus 5, 6 and 9, then even if you are prompted for the update, you will not be able to install it. The 5.0.1+ updates no longer verify file-by-file for the existing system image, they verify the entire partition. In other words, prior to 5.0.1 updates, you could add files to /system, and you would still be able to apply the OTA update (assuming you didn't modify any of the existing files). Starting with the 5.0.1 update, you cannot apply the OTA update if you have added any files (or otherwise modified anything in /system). And since root adds some files to /system, the OTA will fail.

The easiest way to update to 5.1 if you have anything modified is to reboot into the bootloader, and flash the 5.1 boot and system images (from the Google-provided factory image here) using fastboot. You will then need to get root again.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] trvbone:
will this wipe data
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] bunchies:
The only part in this that will wipe data is unlocking the bootloader, so if it's still locked than yes it will wipe when you unlock it

Good stuff I'm unlocked rooted and running unleashed kernel. I imagine the kernel will no longer exist and will be incompatible until updated.

So technically I could use flashify to flash the 5.1 boot.img?

Hi Bunchies,

Do you have plans to update the root-boot option using the new LMY47D?

Cheers
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] bunchies:
Yeup, I've been gone for 2 weeks and I get home tomorrow

I'll consider converting everything to an executable instead of a script but we will see how that idea goes since it would take more time to do
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] bunchies:
Flashify is fine to flash kernels, But if you are unlocked and decide to root with this method the boot image included is temporarily booted for one boot to add the su binarys than restores the old boot on the 2nd boot

So your custom kernel should stick through the root process
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] jschill31:
Hello,

The current process is easy enough plus you would have to change up the instructions?. Would you suggest all to flash the entire image posted on Google, probably some needed firmware bits? I see many are just flashing each partition and not the entire update. I realize in hopes of saving data but is this the best option? Unlocking the bootloader wipes it anyway correct? In the old days it wasn't always necessary to update the bootloader but now it seems more important.

Your thoughts?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] bunchies:
5.1.0 root-boot out :good: using the latest binarys/app also

I did not make an executable for this release like i wanted to but u may in the future so we remain .bat for now, we will see though.

Updated OP's
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] bunchies:
Ok lets say your bootloader is unlocked and you have already rooted using this method and you want to update from 5.0.x to 5.1.0

All you need to do is download the firmware zip from nexus images page https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

extract the entire thing, even the zip inside the main archive.

get the images into a folder that contains adb which are:

boot.img

recovery.img

system.img

bootloader-fugu-fugu-xx.xx.img (replace the "x"s with the new version numbers)

than open adb in that folder and do the following commands in bootloader mode:

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-fugu-fugu-xx.xx.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

than run the latest version of this root method after

this will flash the new images without erasing the /data partition which is where all you configurations and app data stays

the /data wipe of normally running the firmware zip is either the script or triggered from running the archive as a whole telling the bootloader to wipe it

[Nexus Player Original Android Development] jschill31:
Hello,

I just rant the bat file myself and there is something going on... Does not seem to remount and push the su binaries so root is not active. I did notice that USB debug was not active on first boot so you do need to go in and turn it back on. This does allow for the unit to be recognized for both fastboot and adb. You also have to allow your PC again. I ran the bat file a second time and same outcome, not finding device after first boot. Is this perhaps happening since we already have SU installed causing an issue with the script? Should we uninstall SU, it gives the "There is no SU binary installed" message. I assume since the player is not mounting on the second boot it is not being pushed?

Cheers
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] bunchies:
So are you saying the issue is its not completing install of su or afterwards are you having issues with root stuff

I'll do a test tonight by reverting firmware and update again

The thing is if you update to 5.0 to 5.1 it flashes a new system.img which will always wipe /system

Both the su binarys and su app is in /system so everything being applied by the .bat is wiped on update

There is a possibility I missed something but I'll go over it again, if you want you can provide info on the steps you took for updating ect..
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] jschill31:
Hello,

I will try to be more clear and yes this was LRX21V to LMY47D. I extracted and flashed the factory images keeping data. Rebooted back into fastboot and ran the bat file and the script executed the first portion. This first step runs and completes causing the reboot. The on screen advises to wait until the launcher appears then continue. When you start the second portion the fugu acts as if it is no longer mounted. I understand that it does spit out some commands showing "the can't find" messages but I do not see that it is pushing anything. I realized that flashing the new images probably reset USB debug. I checked that and had to turn it back on before the fugu was seen within Windows7. Once I did that I could see the fugu for both adb and fastboot. I then re-ran the bat file but the SU app is showing "no binaries" installed and will not let you in to the app to update. Is it ok to just manually fastboot boot your root-boot.img file like Chain's? Thanks for your continued work.

Cheers
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] Chainfire:
At risk of this being a silly question, why not just use the CF-Auto-Root for the Nexus Player, if you're just installing SuperSU...

(That is not a criticism on your work, I saw this featured on the portal, as if the NP was just rooted... mine has always been rooted just fine?)
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] jschill31:
Thanks Chain's, worked great!

There are a few.. Titanium Backup will allow restoring an app with its data. Works great on the NP. That's my primary use. SU access in ADB Shell is another which will allow you to make changes to /system (ie. build.prop, delete/add APKs, etc.)

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapepini:
Hey there,

3 days ago I finally got my 1+1, I've already unlocked my bootloader and flashed Franco kernel.

However, when I'm on 3g data, if I use an app and then turn off the screen and lock the phone, if I go back to that app it doesn't receive connection.

For example, if I send a Whatsapp message, lock the phone, unlock it again and send another message, it keeps showing me the clock icon (meaning the message has not been sent) and I also can't see the last accesses.

If I swipe the app in the multitasking menu and reopen it, it works just fine and sends immediately the message.

It isn't an app issue, as the same happens with Facebook or Instagram, and it happens only in 3g (Wifi works fine). I tried to flash Franco kernel but didn't change anything.

Can someone help?

Hope to have been clear ;)

Minimum of 5 months before the first Indiegogo pre-order batch is shipped.

Personally, I expect either significant delays or the device to ship in a very 'alpha' state, like the phone. Judging by the tenor of the Hardware Adaption lead's blog, they totally underestimated or misunderstood what they were getting into with the Intel platform.

You'll have a long while before you or anyone else can make the judgement as to whether or not what you propose is worth it.

I ran into a bit of a problem with a Titanium backup.

Yesterday I upgraded to 5.0. OTA didn't work with CWM, so I got the pro version of Titanium backup and created a flashable zip of my apps and system data. Then I flashed 5.0 and CWM, and restored root with the kernel mod. All good. Then I tried to flash the zip file that TiBU created with CWM. CWM reports that it can't flash the file, says it is bad. File looks valid, it is 2.4GB.

I opened the zip on my mac and all my apps and data are there. What is the best way to get my apps and data back? Can I move the exploded zip file to a directory on my phone and then Titanium will be able to restore them? There are 700 files in the zip, an apk, .properties and a .tar.gz for each app.

Thanks!
