Soo find the root zip file from chainfire which in it has boot patcher and put it on sdcard. Then, you need to unlock the bootloader thru fastboot with some commands wich u can find on the internet. Flash the custom recovery lije. Twrp, and flash root zip file! Thats it! WARNING! ALL OF YOUR DATA WILL BE ERASED SO BACKUP YOUR PHONE!!!
Hi thanks for the reply, from fastboot I installed TWRP which worked fine but only if i prevent it rebooting by pulling the battery, i then used TWRP to flash it with UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.. Im still waiting at a boot screen to see if it worked - to clarify.
1. set 'allow bootloader to be unlocked' in developer menu options
2. loaded UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550 to sd card via PC
3. installed TWRP 3.0.1-0 via fastboot -
fastboot -i 0x2970 erase recovery
fastboot -i 0x2970 flash recovery recovery.img
Then pull battery out without it re-booting.
4. Replace battery and reboot into TWRP, installed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550 via TWRP.
Back to square one non-booting phone.
Root, wipe and repeat !!
Ground hog day ?
Cheers
Stevo
