Hello everyone!
I share my experience installing and configuring VIPER4ANDROID in my BLU VIVO 5.
Before starting the phone must be rooted to this point use the following guide published on the Internet:
http://reviewroots.com/root-BLU-Vivo-5-with-or-without-pc
1) Install VIPER4ANDROID FX
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
2) Download and install SELINUXMODECHANGER
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524485
3) Open VIPER4ANDROID and install the driver
4) Open SELINUXMODECHANGER and change mode to Permissive
After these steps VIPER4ANDROID is ready to use
Screenshots please
Framaroot worked for you??? I had to return my first Blu Vivo 5 because it bootlooped after trying to install SuperSU over Kingroot with Framaroot. Besides, don't you need to flash Viper4android on a custom recovery? Which none are available for our phone that I know of.

Alright, figured out what I did wrong. You can root using king root but do not check oem unlock in developer settings, that's what causes the bootloop. As for V4A I was able to get it to work with the instructions in the OP. But I didn't switch out king root for supersu out of fear of it bricking again haha.
Also, for those of you who got V4A working (Rooted, BusyBox Installed, SELinux Set to Permissive) and noticed V4A stop working after a few seconds after leaving the app, go to the V4A settings and check "Show Notification". That's it!

I think it's related to swapping kingroot for supersu. I got that bootloop on a different device, had to reinstall the ROM. Didn't even try on my VIVO, just accepted I'll have to deal with KingRoot. It's not terrible, though. I just hope it's not sending my info elsewhere.
I used SuperSu Me pro to get rid of kingroot and it worked like a charm.

As the title states, I'm trying to root my phone using towelroot, yet everytime that it runs all it does is reboot my phone which according to the splash screen for towelroot, says that it's unsuccessful. How do I go about correcting this?

Have you downloaded SuperSU yet? I had the same issue until I did. I think I remember that was the solution.
Here are the complete instructions for rooting with Towelroot, not much to it.

Install SuperSU and busybox onto your phone before you try towel root, these will install but not set up. make sure you have usb debugging turned on, then try it again. SuperSu will bond with towel root and then ask to turn off knox...knox is trying to block it. You need SuperSu and then busybox running. if you get it rooted you'll be able to update SuperSu and set up busy box...maybe rom tool box, lucky patcher blackmart alpha, and rom manager after you get rooted too.
I had an instance where towel root said it worked and apps were saying I still needed full root access, so I used kingo android root to finish over it.
you can also try kingo android root (your decision and you own risk) it worked for me most times without any crap installed. even the chinese version rooted my phone but it puts its own program and SU, but if you already have SuperSU and busybox installed, the SuoerSu will uninstall those other SU apps and still have root. (your decision and you own risk).
Idk what those programs are that the post above me refer to, but all I did is download selinux mode changer and set to permissive, then use towelroot. See if that helps any

@ryant35: Thanks for the insight, I had it downloaded, and I was following that guide - it didn't mention installing SuperSU until the device is rooted ( and SafeStrap installed )
@Neontc: SELinux Mode changer depends upon the device already being rooted from what I read on the download page. I'll give it a shot though.
If anyone knows how to fool TowelRoot into thinking that it's online, I'd be very happy to hear that news. I'm going to be out to sea without internet for my phone for about a month, and I'm still actively trying to root my phone...
Thanks again for the quick responses, and I'll try to update when I can as far as what's happened and how I fixxed it!
Maybe I am wrong more than likely I am but I was under the impression that busybox was included somehow with the towel root install. I went with the towel root first then came back with the su after the root was installed after I checked to make sure the root took using root checker from the play store. Jesse
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Free mobile app
So I have a Starmobile Quest which is a local smartphone and I rooted it using a chinese rooting program called iroot, formerly vroot, as suggested by people using the same phone. At first the superuser app(which is a Chinese one) is working fine and I could use apps requiring root access but suddenly, something happened and now it won't give root access to any of the apps. I think, maybe root was somehow removed, and downloaded the root checker app and when I ran it, it told me that I wasn't rooted.
So I unrooted my phone using iroot and it was successful and again rooted it which was again successful. I go and run root checker again and I was surprised to see that I wasn't rooted. From there I repeated the unrooting and rooting process several times and still nothing. What I did notice was that whenever iroot was checking whether my phone was rooted, a pop up would appear on my phone which is from the superuser app asking for permission to give "shell" root access and I would always say yes.
I believe that my phone is actually rooted but the superuser app isn't promting me for root access whenever I use apps that require root, plus there is no log saved except for the "shell" one. I tried changing root access manager app to supersu and when I run it it tells me that it needs to update su binary. I click yes and use the normal method(I don't have cwm) and it tells me it's installing but after awhile I receive an error saying "installation failed. try rebooting.". I reboot my phone and try updating again and it still fails.
I tried everything the internet threw at me, reroot, factory reset, clear data, clear cache, etc and nothing's working. Can someone help me here?
Note: I can't find a stock/custom rom for my device. So flashing roms isn't an option for me.
Bump.

Do you need a custom recovery for that? Because the model of the phone doesn't have a custom recovery yet.
Also, I tried to install supersu from the play store and it didn't work.

Damn it. I guess I'll have to wait till they make a stock rom which I think isn't gonna happen since it's been half a year since the phone is released and there hasn't been any development.
Last question, Is it possible to flash your phone using a computer?

Yes absolutely. Just note that there are no rooting apps on the Play Store. Simply downloading SuperSU or Superuser will NOT root your phone. You need to be rooted first, and if the SuperSU or Superuser app isn't automatically installed, then once you root you can install SuperSU or Superuser to manage apps that require root.
Popular methods of rooting include z4root, framaroot, MTKTools and iroot (or vroot)
Z4root and framaroot are both android applications which you will need to get from their sites or XDA (just run a search). MTKtools and iroot/vroot are computer applications and use ADB. MTKTools can also create a custom recovery for your device, though I don't remember the process too well.
Once you're rooted you will either have your Superuser app installed or you'll have to install it yourself (I personally prefer SuperSU). I also recommend installing busybox as well.
Hope that helps.

So how do I do that?
Hello my buddy so I 've read your thread, there are many apps to do root like root master, framaroot, towel root, towelpieroot. And the way to install super su is doing again the root. And after to install it again.
These apps to do root.

So MTKTools can be found scattered all over XDA, and Framaroot has a dedicated thread (which I cannot link right now as I am on my phone). If memory serves, Jellybean and below had Dev options enabled by default. If not, go to settings -> About Device and tap on the build number several times until your dev options are enabled. Then simply enable USB debugging. When you plug in your device you may need to authenticate your PC to use the Debug bridge. Just hit accept. (I'm sure that you were aware of how to enable ADB but I felt I had to explain anyway)
I assume you have the ADB drivers for your device, but if not, there is a naked USB driver installer floating around XDA (I really would only trust XDA with stuff like this)
With ADB enabled you can use the iroot and MTKTools PC applications. Both are generally straightforward but don't hesitate to ask me if you have a question.
With the APK apps you can get from XDA and abroad, you can root the device somewhat easily.
Framaroot (last time I used it) has four options for rooting (latest version is 1.9.3) you will see all info you need on that thread.
Z4 root I do not recommend. It is somewhat outdated now, though you might want to try it as a last resort
Towelroot is fairly simple as well. Simply download and run the app and you'll either get root or you won't.
My personal recommendations are MTKTools for a pc toolkit (seeing as it can compile a custom recovery too, which it did for my Lenovo S6000)
For apk rooting, I suggest Framaroot. I've never had any problems with it thus far.
I hope that explained it enough but if not, don't hesitate to ask questions. After all, you never learn if you don't ask ^-^
Nevermind guys. I downloaded a bunch of rooting programs and tried them. Root Genius worked and now I have root access. Thanks for replying to this thread.
ReInstall SuperSU and check with Android Terminal Emulator.
Ok dudes just i share this thread, cuz i like to help other dudes that they are juniors or they're beginning .
I love RR7.1 ROM. But some apps like IRCTC connect detects as device is rooted. How do I unroot the ROM? I tried megistic still doesn't help. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Dirty flash your rom again w/o flashing SuperSU
I believe there is unroot option in SuperSU and Superuser but the answer above is sure win
Open the SuperSU App and go to Settings, under settings you'll find a "Full unroot" option. Click it, and follow the instructions further.
Tried all of em. Nothing seems to work. I'm on official build by sanjay varun. It has buildin cm root. After removal in developer page it shows only disabled n adb options for root access. Still application detects as device is rooted
Magisk ahve a miodule to hide root. Maybe you can try it...
Or SuHide?
Hello everybody,
There has been an confusing about the in-build root of LineAgeOS. Wether is is there or not. Well it's only available for ADB. Anyway, I have been browsing the web for a solution and I've come across this site from the Lineage Team that let you download a add-on for Lineage that enables the built-in root.
NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT CHAINFIRE'S SUPERSU ZIP.
If you want SUPERSU go to this link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
So I'm not gonna hold you any further.
Here is the link to the site.

Have fun with Root on your unofficial Lineage ROMs and Lineage based ROMs:good:

Another method to get root access is Magisk. I think the system-less root will work nicely with app like Snapchat.

Do a full unroot in SuperSU, it will reboot automatically, just in case reboot again, then install the Root add-on with TRWP or any custom recovery.
Report back if it works:good:

i really appreciate it. i've been getting sideways comments from quite a few individuals concerning this. to elaborate, since the binary update i have absolutely no access to my handset other than with adb shell via a program developed for lg g3 called dp root. the program does not detect root, and since i am boot looping into a lineage os based rom, i figured i would stay away from supersu, since that is the problem. i have to run script into the adb shell to force root. that is the only w ay i will be able to gain root. i cannot boot into recovery since my root got lost. the shell detects the vs985 and also detects android 7.1.1. the rom is octN, which is LOS based.
and to the individual that got nasty because i don't have a j5, i have been trying for days now to find a solution, and if this was j5 specific, which i saw that it was not, i would have looked elsewhere so as to avoid offending anyone for posting on the "wrong thread".
Like magisk hide, iSU can disable or hide the cm-su. Should work with app like Snapchat and Pokemon Go.

no I can't. all I can get is:
1. firmware update screen but the code says it is a g2
or
2.official stock recovery, where, from there it would boot into recovery from factory data reset, but it bypasses that and goes to lg splash screen then boot loop for octos boot screen.
is there a way to bump with adb shell?
here is exactly what happened...
The actions that led to the boot loop were as follows:
1. clean install of rom, gapps, supersu, mr. bump through twrp (clean as in wipe system, data, cache, dalvik)
2. installed all apps backed up to google account through playstore.
3. reset all permissions.
4. verified root and busybox install through root checker app.
5. root checker suggested installation of supersu app for proper functionality
6. installed supersu pro via playstore
7. supersu pro notified of a binary update requirement, binary was updated.
8. reboot from update led to boot loop.
I believe that updating the binary through the supersu pro app without bump caused loss of root, hence the inability to access recovery. I have tried to return to stock with lg software via .tot method. The software doesn't recognize the device. It does recognize a device i have with a bad esn, so the drivers are correct. I can put the device in download mode, but the id that it gives for the device in the box at the bottom of the screen is consistent with lg g2.
I have adb shell access to the device, which is recognized as vs985 with Android 7.1.1., no root detected (dp root lg g3). What i don't have is working knowledge of adb commands and scripts.
I have posted on the supersu thread as well, but as of yet, no one has helped. I get the same "wrong thread go post somewhere else." I figured I might be able to force los root, since it doesn't need bump. I just don't know scripts and can't find any that I would be able to use.

Hi
Im trying to root and install custom recovery for my oneplus 7t pro (hd1913, 10.0.7)
1. When i tried to root with magisk i was able to root and flash the modded boot.img, root seems to work only like 20%, tired to install module from magisk like vanced utube and worked
but everything else requires root like ad removing and bloatware removing cannot work.
2. When i tried to install twrp it almost every time failed, i only succeded to get it to boot and not really flash, guess its not available for the device yet.
I dont really mind about the twrp, ill install it if it will ever get out.
But the root, i have to make it work, its only works partially, what can i do?
THANKS AHEAD!

Go to mag , settings, systemless host then install adaway and your done
and you dont need to flash the magisk patched img. just boot it up in fastboot. then go to magisk and do install direct. then restart and wait to unplug you phone.
