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

Recently got Moto X pure, and I'm loving it. Now I've rooted before, but I really don't much experience with this, (since that phone never got an OTA update, afterwards or bootloader unlocked). I wanted to ask, When it comes to rooting, Does the Operating system it is on matter? I did the OTA update from 5.1.1 to 6.0 and I'd like to root my phone now. Do I just follow a 5.1.1 guide, or is there something else I have to do? Thanks!
Dont follow the guide on youtube thats for lollipop!

Unlocking the bootloader is the same though, then search to trupure on the forums, its a really good minimalistic rom for the moto x pure
I would read the 6.0 thread, the twrp thread and the kernel thread to get started.

Basically.
YMMV regarding keeping TWRP as read only or not when flashing systemless root, but I kept it RO and flashed Beta SuperSU v2.62.3 and have had no problems.
Men can you root your cellphone?? i have the problem when i install SuperSU on MM stuck on boot and i dont know what to do

Once your bootloader is unlocked, flash a custom ROM with SuperSU baked in.

Restore a backup and flash 2.62-3. The others seem to cause issues like the one you're experiencing.

What's confusing though is he states in section 4 the steps are only for lollipop. To go to another link for Marshmallow. Is that still the case or can we flash Beta SuperSU the old fashioned way through TWRP? I took the MM update while on stock. I have since unlocked bootloader and installed latest TWRP. Just making sure nothing has changed.

Rooting the MXPE on MM requires systemless root because, for it to work, a modified/patched boot.img has to be flashed along with SuperSU.
The most recent versions of SuperSU patch the boot.img automatically.
If you follow the link to those MM instructions, you will find the systemless root method option. Follow the link at the top of that systemless root thread to download BETA_Super SU v.2.62-3, which is confirmed to work on our Moto XPE without issues.
Once you download it, you can flash it normally via TWRP. Profit.
Hope this helps.

That worked perfectly, THANK YOU! Found BETA_SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip, flashed via TWRP and worked like a charm. I got so confused by all the variants of devices....XT1572, XT1575, Brazil, India, US, Lollipop, Marshmallow, TWRP... I really appreciate the 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.

I know saw a rom that already had systemless root in it but I can't find it now. Can someone point me in the right direction

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
Hello. I am running Alliance ROM, with an OH4 build and an OD5 bootloader. My phone has been rooted forever, and I can't remember which root method I used, but I know that I can ODIN an NI2 kernel and get to Safestrap. I've never gotten Xposed to work properly.
There are a lot of threads about using Magisk, but everything talks about it needing some sort of "Systemless root". I'm not sure what that means. Is that some newfangled root method that everyone is using now? I have SuperSU pro 2.78. How do I know if it's Systemless?
Can anyone decipher the Magisk thread and tell me if it will work with this phone? Or are there any other methods that will work?

i dont know if it will work with pokemon go or not but here is a way to hide root you would have to downgrade to super su 2.77 or earlier though to use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/suhide-t3450396
Magisk works if you have an unlocked bootloader. I am using it on my s5 with Pokémon. It's fairly straightforward with twrp to setup. I am on resurrection remix.

Can you tell us in some detail how you installed it and what version your using of Magisk. I've not been as lucky with my installs and yes I can unlock my bootloader

Sorry for the delay. It looks like Magisk no longer works as google updated safetynet. If I find something that works I will let you know. I am probably done with the game though.

Maybe I am not erasing all the su files, but even with magisk installed, regardless of being on a stock rom or a custom rom, i can't get it to work.
I assumed that magisk working means that magisk is working properly and...should, in theory, allow me to play pokemon go.
I guess I'll just have to hope they repeal it, mostly because iphone has so many hacks....not requiring jailbreak.

but not with phh superuser? that's what i've been using since that seems to be what magisk has been pushing.
edit: also, does it work with xposed as well? at least, the systemless exposed.
actually, i don't even know if the zip i have to use for my samsung is systemless, even though it uses the same installer...
Apparently no magisk doesn't work with newest pokemon go update

http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268Magisk v.7 +Suhide v0.54 + Xposed confirmed working POGO on my S3 running CM13
My S5 has locked bootloader =(
Magisk requires unlocked bootloader +TWRP
Suhide requires android 6.0+
If you can get TWRP on your S5 you are good to go to play POGO
1.Uninstall xposed and Majisk and Supersu(i used http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3528363&d=1446472307
2.Reflash whatever rom you are on(if using rooted rom(like cm13) reflash unsu.zip and delete the SU binaries or anything that says "su" from /system/bin & /system/xbin & /data with TWRP file browser)
3.TWRP shell, type
echo SYSTEMLESS=true > /data/.supersu
4.Flash SuperSU. only this version http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
5.Reboot to system once before going back to recovery.
6.Flash Magisk v7, then suhide v.54, then Xposed Systemless). Reboot to system.(do not flash batch)(flash each individually)
7.Install Magisk Manager v2.apk
8.Install Material Design Xposed Installer apk
9. i like the "Snorlax" xposed mod
=)
*also earlier today Magisk v6 + Suhide v.54 +xposed was working fine but i went ahead and updated to new verrsions to hopefully stay ahead of safety net
*also here is oudated thread where i learned this method...my steps slightly different and use updated links
*also some report problem with xposed systemless v86.6 ... redo all steps with v86.2
*also xposed not required for POGO (just ignore all xposed entries in setup for working POGO and root) but who doesnt want xposed =P
What would work for my stock rom on a Samsung E7 Lollipop 5.1.1? I rooted, installed GoGPS in system with Lucky Patcher, unrooted and now the game says my phone is not compatible with Pogo. I can't install Marshmallow cause there is no version of it for my smartphone.
