SU binary not installed after rooting with fastboot adb - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys
I rooted my 6p the other day and all seemed fine.
I went to flash temasek cm13 which caused some bugs so I wiped and installed cm13 instead but that crashed with the camera.
I then got into all sorts of trouble with a bootloop so flashed the stock firmware after factory reset using fastboot.
Then I flashed su in twrp but now I get an error no SU binary installed...
I've tried googling how to fix it but thought I'd get the best answer here
Can anyone please help?
Thank you!

It's ok guys I fixed it. I'd used the wrong tutorial on flashing that I used the first time.
I hadn't flashed the boot.img in fastboot! Doh!

softbrick after root - possible to unbrick by flashing CM13?

Hi guys.
Trying not to panic right now. Flashed TWRP on my phone, 3.0, all good. Then proceed to flash ROOT, and it got stuck on the bootloader warning.
Tried flashing another version of ROOT on top, and it didn't solve the problem, but was able to reach boot animation.
After searching, i saw it's possible to unbrick device by reflashing stock rom. Can also solve the problem by flashing CM 13 lux instead?
Update: going to try it now. Whish me luck!!!
success with installing the CM13! working perfect. Now just choosing which gapps to install.
su 2.62-63 works with stock
It's all solved now, with GAPPS and Root from chainfire, finally working. Awesome!

XT1563 6.0.1 Rooting

Hello forum,
Is it truly possible to root the xt1563 running 6.0.1? I've followed multiple sties with instrutions and when I can easily get past unlocking the bootloader, installing twrp but when I go to install the supersu from twrp, I go into a boot loop.
Can someone here say that they've successfully rooted their xt1563 running 6.0.1? If so, where did you get your files?
Thanks!
I rooted my XT1603 on 6.0.1 successfully. I used twrp-lux-3.0.2-r3.img and flashed supersu 2.46, got a bootloop. I reflashed supersu 2.62-3, still got a bootloop. Then I reflashed supersu 2.65 and it worked. Thanks to this post:

thanks chinhodado. I will try to flash with 2.65. Do you know where I can find the same file you used?
Here: https://download.chainfire.eu/921/SuperSU
Didn't work. I first tried 2.65 then it froze on load-up. I left it for about 3 minutes, then rebooted in recovery. Tried 2.62 same thing. I left it load this time for 7 minutes. Stuck on motorola planet picture.
I honestly don't know what it takes to root this device. oneclickroot.com offer rooting for 39.95 which I think is silly. Somehow they seem confident that they are able to sell a "root" package.
I remain confused and frustrated.
thanks for trying to help chinhodado
Did you try wiping the cache? I think I had to do that several times too.

yeah that and davlik
only systemless method work on moto x play whether its XT1562 / 1563
Go to terminal in TWRP - Advanced-Terminal type command in your phone
Code: echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/general/how-to-root-moto-x-play-xt1562-running-t3509344
I did not have to enter any command when I rooted my phone and it still succeeded in the end. I think 2.62-3 uses systemless root by default. It doesn't hurt to try though.
I am getting the same problem on XT1562, it stucks on Bootloader warning, tried everything above and available elsewhere. Help!

TWRP installed, but unable to boot into rom

Hello,
I've installed twrp on my lg g2 802. Using twrp i tried to install lineageos, but on reboot the screen remains black. I see the monitor on but nothing happens. I have to force the reboot. I can still go into recovery but i don't understand where is the problem.
I already tried to wipe everything, and i installed latest nightly of lineageos (no gapps).
Da you have an idea?
I have this same exact problem. I hope a solution is out there!
i installed from a kitkat. Maybe this can be a problem? Should i install lineage from a lollipop?
Flash this

I got LineageOS to work!
It was a long grind of reading various posts on here and looking up other info on google, but I finally got my phone to run LineageOS.
The three things that I think are key are:
Making sure your phone is starting off with kitkat. I wasn't able to root my phone with lollipop. Stumproot, towelroot, and ioroot all didn't work. Once I downgraded to kitkat, I rooted successfully with ioroot.
After getting TWRP, updating it to 3.1.0. I had to first get an older version and then flash 3.1.0
Change the bootloader to kitkat if it isn't on it already. I used Bootloader Changer.

Yes u need lp bootstacks. Or you can simply get to the stock lollipop using flashtool and then flash lineage os
Thank you for support. Now it works

Bootloop?

So I just got my Nexus 6p today and I've tried rooting this thing but it just kept making me stuck on the google logo. I successfully unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP but everytime I installed from ZIP SuperSU or Magisk it would keep getting me stuck on the google logo. I've tried this several times because I could still go to bootloader. I've flashed the stock image a couple of times and reinstalled TWRP but I just can't get it to root.
Edit: I have flashed to stock and I'm on 6.0. I haven't tried reinstalling TWRP but the bootloader is unlocked and everything else is stock.
Edit 2: I just flashed TWRP and now I'm stuck on the google logo. Wtf is this??

Could be because you are on older version of Android. Did you make sure you are on the correct bootloader? Anyways I found with stock you must complete the initial setup then you can go back and root later. I've had success with Magisk 16.0 on nougat and Oreo so don't see why it wouldn't work on marshmallow.

What is a 'correct bootloader' anyway? I am on the latest bootloader and flashed latest factory images and still bootlooping, can't even make it to recovery mode (flashed 4-cores TWRP after I flashed stock).

Ok sorry you said 6.0 in comment that's why I asked about bootloader. Also thought was just the root giving you a hard time not the dreaded bootloop that some 6Ps get.

Can't boot after installing Magisk

I've recently installed a custom rom(finally) on my redmi note 7, and after around a week I decided to install magisk and root it aswell... When i first installed magisk through twrp it booted successfully into android, and after trying to install a module and reboot my phone it got into a bootloop, is there any way to solve it?

Maybe you already found a solution. But you can try going into twrp and flashing magisk uninstaller zip

I too had the same problem a few days ago. I had tried to update magisk but after flashing the latest version via twrp, the phone got stuck on bootloop. I uninstalled magisk using the uninstaller zip file then flashed the old version I had before (v19.3) and everything was back to normal.
