I tried applying the modded framework res apk with the translucent bars using the root explorer method. I got a bootloop and I dont want to reset. I had no backup (I know stupid). Can someone give me the stock framework res apk. I think I can adb push it to system/framework and that should fix it maybe. Anyone have another idea. Help would be appreciated thanks. Im currently running stock kitkat with stock kernel and rooted with twrp recovery if that helps at all.
well nevermind i couldnt wait and just adb flashed system
can i use the same file to root cm12 which i used to root cm11
I've been reading a lot of threads with a number of different ways to upgrade to MM on a rooted phone. Anywhere from restoring back to stock to take the OTA to flashing one of the files in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...rom-stock-rooted-debloated-x1575-6-0-t3262242
I am currently running LP 5.1.1 unlocked BL, rooted, xposed installed.
Couldn't I just unroot, flash stock recovery and the system img and accept the OTA? DO I have to return to full stock? Also is systemless root the only way to root after you take the OTA?
Sorry be there is so much information going around I just want to make sense of the update process.

You can probably just flash stock recovery and system.img and accept the OTA.
Systemless root isn't the ONLY way to achieve root on MM, but using the traditional (/system) root method requires a modified kernel to set SELINUX to permissive. For now, it looks like systemless is the way to go.
Good Luck.

Is there an advantage of systemless root over the traditional? And I am guessimg since I have SuperSu installed I will still need to do a complete restore to stock.
I have my s7 edge rooted. I only need root to edit one string in build.prop. is it possible to flash the stock bootloader after the edit? I know root would no longer work but I don't need root after the build.prop is edited.
I'm rooting my old Nexus 6P for the first time, so there may be some things I don't fully understand yet. So far I have unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and Magisk and I have root access. The phone itself is on the stock ROM with all the latest possible updates.
Now I gave root access to Root Explorer in r/w mode and I would need to add a few lines into an XML file in the etc/permissions folder. However, it won't save the changes. Is this due to the stock ROM being used? Do I have to get a custom ROM or is there a way to edit the file on the stock ROM?
