Rooting an Android like it's 2015!

The year is 2015, the majority of Android devices (especially Google Nexuses) shipped with unlockable bootloaders. Let's take a trip down memory lane and demonstrate the rooting process of a Google Nexus 5 phone!

I remember when Kingroot actually works and rooting was easy

[defaultuser]

I reached to a high level on my note 5. Custom kernel, stereo speakers, charging limiter, full cpu speed control and automation with battery life to an incredible level. I miss old days.

[ShippoHsu]

It does feel like a 2015 video, I'm getting tears since the first custom ROM guide i followed was also in this style

[isaackingvideos]

For those who don't know. Google play services are still getting updates on Android KitKat.
Youtube rocks on chrome playing at 720p.

Man i custom rommed and rooted the heck out of my nexus 5x a few years ago this brings me back

[cristianoashok]

this brings lots of good memories, everything was simple and easy, good old rooting days

[Austinredstoner]

Back then when there used to be SuperSU instead of magisk.

I remember being so envious about 5.0 lollipop restyling, while I was stuck with Jellybean on my s3 mini. Found a site which was hosting Cyanogenmod, and that name alone makes me so nostalgic, and learned by trial and error how to do it. Those were simpler times indeed

[Superfrequenz_idk]

Oh man! How nostalgic, I remember when I was very fond of that topic of ROMs, Root and much more! Those times....

[TheRealTrigger]

Damnnnn, i really wish those days come back man

[RamCD]

I remember updating an old huawei u8180 phone from Android 2.1 to Android 4.0, rooting it, installing clockworkmod, flashing the ROM (RIP CyanogenMod), bricking it once, trying again and eventually booting succesfully, it made me so happy, it's what ignited my love for reparining/refurbishing old devices, sadly most apps today detect when you're using a custom ROM or a rooted device and block their access to them, making this process kind of useless today.
The people that uploaded custom ROMs to forums will always have my respect, I remember how unstable some ROMs were and how they updated them until they were stable and ready for everyday use.
It really was a special time.

Holy, I used to watch Nobel tech when in 2019 to 2022, I only remember becouse the intro change a bit but I still remember

[meowskullsgaming]

I miss those days where we were in full control of the devices we owned

[Psychopatz]

That supersu intro and icon is so nostalgic! ☺️

[ImmortalChanger]

Man's even got time-accurate music. 10/1 video

[techcube]

Oh wow, you've even got the older version of SuperSU that has the old icon!

[ishaqahmed._]

the steps you showed in this video is literally still the same
og way of rooting in 2014 was king(o)root

I used to buy phones for cheap so I could install custom operating systems on them. Back when Samsung allowed OEM unlocking I'd love to do stuff like this, It's a shame they make it so difficult to install custom operating systems on their phones nowadays.

[obsidian_oki]

Ah yes i remembered the days of when you could brick your phone while doing this

[Danish_Aniq_Gaming-Railfans]

Ayo. This is make me to remember so many memories and nostalgic
