I have a quick question. I'm currently running systemless root for my Nexus 6p and wanted to switch to actual root. Do I have to do anything special to downgrade my SuperSU from 2.66 to 2.52? Or is it just simply flashing 2.52 in recovery? I'm currently running Chroma ROM.
Thanks for any help

I am regular rooted and running Pure Nexus. What do I need to do to do the system-less root at this point?

Why do you want systemless root if you are running a rom? The whole point of systemless root is to leave the system partition untouched. Pure Nexus system is not untouched.
Is it not possible to run a Rom when you have system-less root?

What did you find out?
Just flash the su uninstall zip and then the newest su zip. Pure Nexus does not touch the system and works with systemless root. Here is a link to an excellent guide by micmars that should tell you everything you need to know.

You can make any ROM systemless by flashing the unsu zip, then flashing systemless SuperSU.
I've been on the game for far too long, but there seems to be a confusion when
it comes to rooting this phone. All my previous phones have been fairly easy to root.
I read around a lot of forums but they have outdated information or are for Lollipop.
I have a Stock Moto X Pure edition on Marshmallow. To root this guy do i just have to unlock bootloader, flash TWRP recovery image via adb and then flash the latest version of SuperSU?
or do i need additional steps?
Thanks in advance
Do steps 9 onwards and you should be OK

I'm in the same boat as the OP. I find the available info confusing. I'm on stock MM with TWRP 2.8.7.1 installed. Looking at steps 9 on from the link above mentions flashing a modified boot image for systemless root to work with 2.52. I think the latest SuperSU (2.66? modifies the boot image, making flashing the modified unnecessary.

Im wondering this same thing, from what i've seen in posts we should be able to flash SuperSU 2.66 on a stock rom with TWRP and root should work.
I just want someone to confirm if this does actually work. I dont really want to deal with boot loops and having to restore all over again.
Thats y i went with trupurexmm rom. And skipped the sytemless root. Follow post three above

I have flashed 2.66 on a stock rooted rom and also on an AOSP rom. Works on both
Hey everyone, just got a Nexus 6P today and it came with the latest image. Before I scour the forums, is there a link to a specific root for this firmware. Or do earlier methods still work?
Thanks
Well their are 2 ways now.
1. Traditional root which is what you know
2. Systemless root, the 'new' way
I've used both. The systemless root basically decompiles whatever kernel you have, patches it with root, then recompiles all in twrp. I think. Their both good.
When I was on stock ROM I used systemless root.
But I recently flashes resurrection remix and that uses traditional root.

That's def want I wanted to hear. Much thanks. I'm familiar with the systemless root since I'm pretty sure it's done like that with the Nexus 6 as well, which I had not too long ago. Probably will go with the stock and systemless.
Thanks again

Title. I have tried the CF Root way but got on a bootloop.
Currently you cannot root it with cf-root but you can root it through chainfire supersu.
How?
use this guide.
