How to extract root permissions from Nexus 5 mobile phones

After starting Nexus 5 for a while, the most interesting part of the Android machine is to flash the machine after the root, and many good functions can be added, but the premise is that the root permission of Android needs to be extracted.

Google has withdrawn from the Chinese market. The apps in the Play Store in China are messy and nobody cares. Even if the apps downloaded officially, I am not at ease. I installed the LBE security master, which is very easy to use, however, you also need root to enable the complete active defense function, which can restrict the permissions of the application.

The root extraction method in this article comes from the great god of Chainfire. It is the author of SuperSU and one of the real great gods in the industry.

This root tool uses CF-Auto-Root, the official website is: http://autoroot.chainfire.eu, it is currently mainly for Samsung and Nexus series to provide root support, positioned in a silly one-key root tool, and it is very clean. It only writes a SuperSU apk to your Android 4.4 System. Nothing else is terrible.

The code is as follows:	Copy code
Note: this operation will automatically unlock. If Nexus 5 is not unlocked, this operation will clear all the data of the machine, including the data stored in the memory. Do not worry about unlocking the machine. (There is an opened lock header under the words "Google" at startup, indicating that the lock has been unlocked)

Prerequisites:

1. First, check the USB debugging for Nexus 5, and enable USB debugging for Android 4.4. In Settings, click the version number on the phone, about 10 times, the developer mode will be enabled, go back to the mobile phone, and select USB debugging in the developer option;

2. Download the CF-Auto-Root version of Nexus 5 from the http://autoroot.chainfire.eu, at the bottom of the page, or from my Baidu network disk: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1kXwCc;

3. Make sure that the fastboot driver on your computer is properly installed. If you have been connected to mobile assistant such as pods, the driver will be automatically installed, or you can install Android sdk: http://developer.android.com/index.html;

Root extraction steps:

1. Connect Nexus 5 to a computer through USB;

2. Adjust Nexus 5 to the bootloader mode. The specific method is to shut down first, and then press and hold the power key + volume up + volume down at the same time;

3. Unzip the downloaded CF-Auto-Root-hammerhead-hammerhead-nexus5.zip;

4. Execute the following files according to the operating system

Windows: Double-click to run root-windows.bat

Linux/Mac OS X: open the terminal, execute the command to enter the decompressed folder, and then execute the corresponding root-linux.sh or root-mac.sh:

> Cd file paths/CF-Auto-Root-hammerhead-hammerhead-nexus5
> Chmod + x root-linux.sh (or root-mac.sh)
> Sh root-linux.sh (or root-mac.sh)

5. Follow the on-screen prompts to proceed. Remember to pay attention to the screen changes on your computer and on Nexus 5.

This is OK. After you restart the machine, you can see the SuperSU application. You can try the application that requires the root permission. If an application requests the sensitive permission, SuperSU will prompt you.
