To root download this: http://download.chainfire.eu/297/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-mako-occam-nexus4.zip

Instructions:
Note, you must have drivers properly installed and make sure your adb recognizes your phone with "fastboot devices"

1. Plug your device into PC and put it into fastboot mode!
2. If you haven't unlocked your bootloader then this will and it will entirely wipe your device!
3. After your bootloader is unlocked, phone will boot cf-autoroot, big red android icon will appear on your screen, wait for it to finish.
4. Reboot, done!

I will update link when chainfire makes official root for 5.0, this is cf-auto-root for 4.4.4, but it works fine

metpage · Nov 14, 2014

if you are already unlocked you can just run the following command in fastboot:

fastboot boot CF-Auto-Root-mako-occam-nexus4.img

just make sure you extract the img first and it should work.

Touch recovery 6.0.4.7 works fine

Thanks for sharing this info, i have installed cwm and root =),
does anybody knows if Xposed is compatible with lollipop?

bgill55 · Nov 15, 2014

the script will bypass the unlock part if you are already unlocked and just flash the img

noob here..
Ok so the updated CF auto root has patched kernel or just some patches to fix se linux and other patches to enable root..??

Im asking this because the CF auto root is based on KOT49H so will the kernel be replaced by patched kernel from KOT49H??

Chainfire updated the tool. Even if it says it's for version 4.4.4 he's updated it for 5.0. It does alter the kernel to set SELinux to permissible but don't worry about the alterations as it is made for 5.0.

No. 5.0 uses ART as the new runtime which isn't yet compatible with Xposed.

I tested chainfire's cf-autoroot for Nexus 4 on 5.0 Lollipop and it worked, other members can confirm it too.

Does it wipe data if the bootloader is already unlocked?

I asked it before and somebody said not yet!

This method did give me root, but broke my camera, had to flash back to factory to get it to work. Don't want to flash cf again in case I end up with a broken camera again.

Weird, my camera is still working here. Running the factory OTA. This did give me root which the SuperSU 2.19 zip didn't (but Super SU gave my root on CM12 fwiw). My bootloader was already unlocked and it didn't wipe anything for me.

Definitely not! It is unknown yet when it will be.

forever_lol · Nov 15, 2014

Sorry guys if i missed this info...have anybody of you managed to make booting options work like in twrp app or quick boot.
I rooted successfully my N4 today, however booting options don't bring any effect when tapped.

EDIT: reboot command in terminal emulator works as it should though.

blessedsword · Nov 15, 2014

hi men, I try to use Linux for now, so what will I do in Terminal after unlock bootloader ?
Thanks you ^^

Chainfire updated the link with root for 5.0 :

Isus <3 · Nov 15, 2014

I updated auto root link.

andy_rose · Nov 15, 2014

Do I need to have a custom recovery beforehand?

aviz1911 · Nov 15, 2014

I flashed the 4.4.4 image file you provided before and root works fine. Now that chainfire updated it to 5.0, should i flash the .img file of 5.0 again ?? I'm on stock 5.0 and latest TWRP.
Another thing, Before flashing any custom kernel should i flash the root image file again and then kernel.zip file or just kernel.zip file is enough ?? I can try this myself but i don't want to mess-up my new born Lollipop
