Previous chainfire supersu writes in the /system partion, specifically in /system/su directory. This makes some of the security conscience application to reject phones that has /system modified. The newer version of chainfire supersu relocate the files to /su directory, and can pass the security check provided the /su/xbin_bind symbolic link is removed.

Would that mean that previously failed apps which require a non rooted system to work? That's amazing if that's the case.

Yes. As long as you are on stock, android pay will work with systemless root. You just can't use xposed.

I mean like my work email, (good for enterprise) barclays, Lloyds. Great about android pay.
Is there a workaround for getting Xposed to work or something similar that offers some tweaks?
A tip for someone new to ROMS and flashing. If you use Google Authenticator, or any other authenticator app, like Blizzard Authenticator, or Steam Mobile Guard, make sure you deactivate it before you flash anything.

I thought I wouldn't be able to receive updates with a rooted device and a custom kernel. Is this the new way of Android N system image pushing?
Apparently this is now the actual beta. And no longer a preview version. This counts as preview 3.

Were you unencrypted when you updated to it? I know TWRP doesn't work when it's encrypted (on N) so I'm waiting for the factory images to be released so I can modify those and stay unencrypted, but if it works anyway I'll update ASAP.
Hello. I want to take this update too. My bootloader is locked. Though i have enabled oem unlocking and usb debugging. Can i ota update to android n beta? I mean in case i get into bootloop. I have everything stock. Nothing changed. Currently on may update mob30i.

Hey guys,
Anyone using systemless root with any versions of 6.0.1? I am still on 6.0.0 because I did not find a systemless root version except the original one posted on chainfire's site from late last year. I know the version of the systemless root matters as the kernel version matters for it to build the correct boot image.
I am not asking how to do it, just if anyone has successfully done this and which files (file names would be nice, so I can google 'em) did you use, to do it.
I have done a ton of searches all over the place and can not find one way or the other out there.
I don't want to hear a bunch of systemless vs non-systemless root stuff, please.
Thanks!

Hey meekrawb thanks for the info. I went to chanfire's site an took a look and the only boot image for the 6P is the mb08k image, which is the 6.0.0 release, and not a boot image for the later releases including the newer 6.0.1. I am guessing that since it is the boot image that the actual release verision is arbitrary, but just want to be sure. I plan on trying it anyhow as I can just flash a proper image if it gets into a bootloop.

You don't need those special boot images anymore. When you flash the zip it automatically patches your boot.img.

If you are rooted with Systemless SuperSu you can still download the OTA as usual then install it with the Flashfire app rather than installing from the prompt. Worked for me anyway.

So, just tried to upgrade.
After half an hour of downloading and updating, it reached the point where the phone restarted itself, but all I saw is an open-android icon with a message "Error!" :/
Simply restarted the phone and back to 6.0.1. Unfortunately.

Actually that's not true. It mostly depends from which DP you started receiving updates. eg. I clean installed DP5, which had some features removed (eg. night mode, and it's also missing from the final), whereas someone who started clean from DP1 will have it on the final. For the final I guess they were waiting to update the Google Apps, such as Connectivity Services which got updated after the final OTA.

It's really really really hard to root this phone. Fastboot flashing TWRP then flashing SuperSU in TWRP is tough. I don't know how I ever did it.
When someone that knows what they are talking about says Android is getting harder to root, they mean for those that initially find it (chainfire), not the user. For you and I, it's only a matter of flashing a cute little zip in our custom recovery.

I understand that, but I read this article (a month old) talking about the secure boot and only being able to boot and use partial operating system features if it detects corruption, such as rooting.

As of August 25 or 26, 2017, the current updated FireOS version is 5.4.0.1. Last build date prior to this was on May 31, 2017. As of this post, the updated OS is not yet available on Amazon's site.
Please comment if you receive any errors when attempting to 'uninstall' Amazon Apps, whether automatically or manually. Some users report errors.
Please download Droid Examiner or Droid Hardware Info or a like minded app (these types of apps vary from developer to developer. I use these two primarily).
Droid Examiner: Tap build and look at the time. It will have the date of the last build updated to your tablet.
build.prop (/system/build.prop): Look for these values. Please post dates and versions if possible. Last Kernel patch for 5.4.0.0 was for June 2017.

I'm assuming that like with 5.3.2.0 and 5.3.2.1, it's a bootloader update possibly with an anti-rollback feature. I may be proven wrong, but we'd need someone running 5.4.0.1 to take the risk and try downgrading.

Apps that utilize symbolic linking (eg: Apps2SD; Link2SD) accomplish this while allowing a portion of the SD card to still be used for sharing files with other devices. Adopted storage is great until you pull the SD card or it goes bad. Then things get interesting (as in lost). That said, adopted storage does has an advantage in setup and usability. Pretty much forget about it once established.

As you are probably aware talented volunteer contributors can not build a 6.x based ROM for a device with a locked bootloader -and- restricted 5.1 kernel base. "Want" is not the issue ...
@Davey126
I know the risk and as always, don't forget the backups or don't cry.
Apps like Apps2SD and Link2SD are an alternative. But hasn't there been any problems widgets?

Apps that utilize symbolic linking (eg: Apps2SD; Link2SD) accomplish this while allowing a portion of the SD card to still be used for sharing files with other devices. Adopted storage is great until you pull the SD card or it goes bad. Then things get interesting (as in lost). That said, adopted storage does has an advantage in setup and usability. Pretty much forget about it once established.

I'd say as soon as root is made for anything 5.3.2.1+, the main focus should be shifted towards unlocking the bootloader.

Unlocking the bootloader is not a trivial job.

Is this line really necessary?

It's possible if we try.
I don't know if you've ever used Tapatalk, but I can't do anything about that line showing up.

A lot of time and work has been put into trying to unlock the bootloader. If it were not 'trivial' I'm sure someone might have done it already. Even the rooted HD 7s with custom ROMs have a locked bootloader.

Any ideas how it can be done?
Yes, I had used Tapatalk in past and there has been an option to deactivate the line.

I know it, and that is the point why I wrote, that it is not trivial.
