Maybe I'm wrong on this but I don't see why people have trouble with root access on a rom. I have just flashed the rom I want be it stock or otherwise and went into recovery and flashed the superuser zip and have root. Am I over simplifying this or is there something I don't get? From my experience if you have a non stock recovery you can get root. Does this not work on all roms?
Yuuuuup

Hello everyone. There is one thing that I'd like to know before going ahead and rooting my gs2 (cf kernel).
That kernel installs the CWM recovery. Assume that I'm on stock KI4 now, then root it. If a new fw is released, and I'd like to move to say KJ1 frankenstein from intra, how should I flash that? Should I still use the same procedure that I've always used until now (odin), or should I flash it via CWM?
Also, what are the impacts of moving to the newer fw? Do I lose root and also the CWM recovery?
Thanks,
TD
Anyone?...
Yes, CF-Root installs CWM recovery, Superuser and enables root. So it's a super easy thing to do and very convenient.
If you are rooted and is on KI4, moving to a non-rooted frankenstein build(that's what you wanted), you will definitely lose root because the firmware is stock.
So if you flashed a stock frankenstein build, you will lose root AND CWM(loosing CWM will give you the stock recovery, which doesn't do much). You would need to flash a rooted kernel(e.g. CF-Root) using Odin to regain root. Depending on the firmware also, sometimes your data is wiped.
To preserve root, I recommend you to flash a rooted custom ROM. VillainROM is good to start with because it is close to stock. The closest to stock in my opinion is to root it with CF-Root. Feel free to experiment with custom ROMs.
With rooted custom ROMs, you will stay rooted when you flash them VIA Clockworkmod revovery.
P.S. Be sure to always do a backup in case something goes wrong! Do a full ROM backup via CWM so if anything happens, you can just revert.
Well i finally got around to updating my rezound to the newest ICS firmware. But afterwards I've lost my root and also have no recovery. I am S off, so hopefully you guys will lead me in the right direction to get back to installing custom roms... PLZZZZZ LOL

TWRP Recovery
Follow the steps on either one of these threads in order to re-install a custom recovery. From there just follow the thread of any given Rom you want to install (especially steps for if you are S-ON or S-Off) and you will have root that way, Most, if not all Custom ROMs have root. Goodluck Buddy
if u still have root issues after trying the ones in recovery, try going to chainsdd website and get the flashable zip and that should work. i think all you will need is the binary file if you have the apk already
I rooted manually following ZedoMax's method here http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-l...tc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery/ and everything was going great until i had to flash the CWM file. it said failed. Im not sure how to fix it. I am on hboot 1.19. is there maybe an updated file that i need to download?
If you flash a rooted rom you don't need to flash CWM root, that is just to enable root in stock. If you want to keep a mostly stock rom you can the flash stock with goodies package in Android development

so i just made a backup. so all i have to do is flash a rom that has supersu and im good?
Yep, flash the kernel separately in fastboot
So after scearching thousands of threads i understand everything about kernel, custom roms, stock roms.
Im trying to get all together like a puzzle.
Ony thing i want to know but can't find the answer anywhere on the internet.
I have custom recovery TWRP with root.
Is it possible to temporary unroot the device with OTA rootkeeper app, flash stock recovery and than restore root back with the app.
So i can download future update flawless.
Thanks!
Edit ----------------------------------
Just flashed stock recovery and kept root, no any rootkeep apps needed for this.
Basically i have a Hox+ with:
Stock rom
Stock recovery
Unlocked bootloader
Stock kernel
And root
Win!
I wanted to flash a recovery, get a custom rom because I hate MIUI bloatware and I wanted to root my phone. I do have prior experience to rooting phones and getting custom roms. I am thinking of flashing OrangeFox recovery, a debloated rom of MIUI and magisk on my note9s. I just want to get one or 2 things clear before I start. When flashing a new rom or rooting, do you need to flash No-Verity-OPT-Encrypt or not? And also in what order do I flash what, I suppose it would be the custom rom, magisk and the No-Verity-OPT-Encrypt if you need it.
Also, regarding the link for the MIUIEU rom https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-11-0-stable-release.52628/, should I install this one?

I would search this XDA site for your specific model number and specific stock software. You should find a rooting guide that will give you a step by step process that you should follow in that specific order to gain root access. Once you have root access you can go back and do all the customizations you want. I also have a Samsung device and I did a Google search and YouTube search on how to root my particular model. You might find some variations in these instructions, but you will also find commonalities. Notice what those commonalities are and that is a clue to what is necessary in order to achieve root. Hope that helps - Good luck.
