Root CM12.1 UNOFFICIAL RC5

auburn2eugene · Jun 17, 2015

Well my phone went into a boot loop when I tried restoring my nandroid.... So I'm gonna have to stick with this build. Can someone help me get data working please

Auburn you didn't follow the instructions. Your jumping the gun installing before reading.

1nf1n1t3 · Jun 17, 2015

You need to download the gapps package in this thread. Are you wiping before you flash these? Best do this when changing ROMs. Bnv2 and Cm12.1 are very different.

auburn2eugene · Jun 17, 2015

No, I read the instructions step by step.

But I got it on this second go around. What I did was installed the rom, then reboot recovery, then installed the tstkrl, then reboot recovery, then the gapps, then rebooted to recovery again, then reboot system.

I am sure I did a few extra reboots, but it works now. That's what matters.

auburn2eugene · Jun 17, 2015

And yeah, I did the advanced wipe, and wiped everything but internal memory and SD card

Yeah there is no need to reboot recovery in between flashing files (unless you had your recovery & boot partitions swapped for rw. In that case you have to flash the restore zip then reboot recovery once before installing everything else.)

That is one of the great things about twrp vs cwm & philz (the fact that you can que up to ten zip files to flash back to back to back). If you had no google apps then you probably flashed them before the ROM. You have to flash the ROM first and after that you can flash everything else in whatever order you want.

If you were talking about ME with this post, then you sure don't know what you are talking about. I read and reread. The thing is,I followed the instructions of the OP step by step. I always do. It wasn't until I used the method i used to flash BNv2 that I got my Google apps working.

And that was after flipping out because my phone got stuck in a bootloop after flashing back my twrp backup.

That being said, I've got pretty much everything fixed except the screen goes black when I get an incoming phone call. I'm now looking for a zip about that. Seems like I've seen it in the 1000 pages I've read the last few days.

shadooblazer · Jun 17, 2015

Thank you very very much.... To those who helped... And thank you for the ones enforcing the rules... Your help was greatly appreciated also... Some of you are to kind... Sincerely..

actually its a thread its not in the 1000 pages . so you are not looking right .... but here it is http://androidforums.com/threads/cm12-1-sensors.922452/#post-6997692

auburn2eugene · Jun 17, 2015

I never asked anything to be posted. I said I was looking for it. I tried both the flamingo and the redbull sensor. And the red bull sensor gave me wings. Now absolutely everything works.

The absolute ONLY issue I have now is once the phone boots up, it takes a while to actually load the system.

Outstanding work hroark13! You are the man. Friday someone is bringing me a LG G2 to root. Every penny I make will be a donation for you. Hell I'll even throw in extra. Screw a couple beers, imma get you a case. (Of PBR or Budweiser, of course, LoL)

Why u need perm root this is rooted already u do not need super user go developer settings enable root and ADB and access and once you have twrp no need to reinstall it just use the twrp app and rebootbto recovery

I was talking about obtaining permanent root in the stock rom.

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. I was talking about obtaining permanent root in the stock rom.

If you have temp root, install twrp and flash SuperSU zip. I believe that's how we get permanent root

removebeforeflight · Jun 18, 2015

If one more noob tries to tell me how to achieve root on a stock rom I no longer have installed I swear...

I installed the CM12 rom without installing supersu or having permanent root, just TWRP recovery.

How confusing was that when I said it the first time?

Gaaaaahhhhhd
