I rooted using BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip the latest super su doesn't seem to work
Do yourself a favor and don't screw with binary roots (you never know what they're really doing).
https://github.com/seSuperuser/AOSP-SU-PATCH
And I even keep prebuilt binaries in /bin path.
Just write the fugu boot.img and install the apk.

Bootloader unlocked ??
TWRP installed ??
If both are yes flash in recovery (TWRP)
If no than you should read more. So you don't screw up your device.
Good luck.

hi.
did you just flashed the superSU zip file by using twrp with a unlocked bootloader?
i had 6.0.1 stock rooted nexus player rom (unlocked bootloader and twrp installed) by using the tips of xda.
Then the nexus player updated itself to 7.0 (i didnt update it manually), then i lose root and twrp. i only have unlocked bootloader ("secure boot= enabled" and "lock state = unlocked")

That's exactly what I did, good to go. Only thing I notice now is that every so often when I go to use the nexus player in the morning it sometimes boots itself into twrp :/

Do you just have twrp manager or do you also have twrp installed as your recovery? If you have twrp as recovery, boot into recovery, than install from zip and select the SuperSU.zip file you downloaded

The usual cause of this issue is that the NP is rooted and has a Custom Recovery such as TWRP installed. The NP fails to update automatically whenever there's a new official OTA image available.
To stop this from happening you can use an apps like DisableService or My Android Tools and UNCHECK (disable) the following:
Disable Service or My Android Tools -> System -> Search -> Google Play Services and "Uncheck" SystemUpdateService.
If it still boots into recovery also disable it in the Services Framework
Disable Service -> System -> Search -> Google Services Framework ->. disable SystemUpdateService.

I too had to do this as well. I tried all the rootkits and different methods and versions of SuperSu and none worked.
BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip on the other hand worked flawless on Android 7 Nougat.
I too had lost root due the device updating itself to Android 7.
To accomplish this I did the following:
My device was already unlocked previously
Flashed TWRP via ADB
Booted into TWRP
Once booted into TWRP I could see the file contents of my NP on my Windows PC
I copied BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip to the root of the internal memory of my NP
Disconnected the USB cable from my computer to my Nexus Player and connected my OTG cable with the Wireless Mouse and Keyboard dongle
Once I had mouse connectivity, from TWRP I chose install Zip
I browsed over to where I had copied BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip and selected and flashed it
Once the flashing was completed I chose Reboot to System
I tested SuperSu for root = "Success!"
I installed SideLauncher
I installed BusyBox
To prevent the device from updating itself and the reboots:
I followed the instructions on post #24 from this thread by GabbyWC:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...ess-playing-videos-marshmallow-t3220531/page3
Here is a copy and paste of it
Sideload the "My Android Tools" app which is available at https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...oidtools&hl=en. After it's installed on your Nexus Player, open and configure it as shown here by using a mouse but you will need root access for this to work.
Service >> System >> Search >> Google Play Services >> Disable SystemUpdateService.
Service >> System >> Search >> Google Services Framework >> Disable SystemUpdateService.
The drawback is your applications will be prevented from updating unless you restart the services back up or side load the latest version of your app.
Hope this helps someone. I was already frustrated that nothing else was working.
One final note:
I was able to find everything I needed by doing a search
Guys on Nougat, if you use the newest Android tv Remote app on your phone. Can you adjust the volume of your nexus player by pressing the phone's volume up/down hardware buttons while the remote app is open?
If you have a different remote with volume can you adjust the volume up or down?
Reason I ask is because the shield can and now the new Xiaomi Mi box AndroidTV can as well. If the nexus player still can't I will remain on my current custom rom.

Try using the Nexus Rootkit. I can downgrade to any previous version with it. Just make sure you freeze the update processes otherwise it will upgrade right back to Nougat

I was rooted on 4.2.2 and checked for the system update for 4.3. It was there so I got really excited and installed it immediately, without writing a thread about it, making sure I'm not doing something wrong. Well, I was.
It updated to 4.3 and it works fine, but I can't access TWRP (I get an opened Android with a red X over it). Also, when I go into SU, I get a message saying "There is no SU binary installed. ... If you've just upgraded to 4.3, you need to manually re root your device."
How do I do this? Thanks.

Toolkits cannot flash the recovery on Android 4.3 so you have to download the recovery image and flash the recovery image using "fastboot flash recovery [Replace_this_with_image_name]" and enter while your Nexus 4 is on bootloader mode to flash the recovery properly.
Now you need to transfer the SuperSU v1.51 zip file to the root of your internal storage and install it via TWRP recovery and then you are fully rooted without any TB restore issues or anything like that.

I rooted and unlocked my device with a Toolkit but the problem is that you do not know what is exactly going on since you cannot see the commands.
You have to get the Android SDK for this one, I already have it all in a zip file but that is on my laptop and I will be working on my phone today by installing PA.
One you get the SDK you have to go into the SDK manager and download/update the ADB tools, after that open the CMD in the folder which says "Platform-tools" and type the command from there.
Has for the image you have to put it in platform-tools has well for this to work:

Hi!
You can easily boot a custom recovery and then install the SuperSU.zip from there .
1 - Download the SuperSU zip from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip.
2 - Copy it to your Nexus 10 root folder (the one where it's located Download, DCIM, Android, etc)
3 - Download the .img file from here: http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/128, then rename it to recovery.img
4 - Copy it to your fastboot/adb folder (if you doesn't have one search for how to get it)
5 - Plug your Nexus 10 in your PC
6 - Turn USB Debugging on (Settings --> About Tablet --> Press many times Build Number --> Developer Options --> On --> USB Debugging)
7 - Open a cmd in your PC and go to your adb/fastboot folder, then type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(When the screen turns on you type) fastboot boot recovery.img
Wait for it to turn on and then click install, select the SuperSU.zip and then confirm. Then it's done . If you can't get this way working you can try one of the many tools in the Development thread. I'm sure one will work with you .

Issues with rooting (4.4), stuck after flashing recovery
I just got my Nexus 10, and unlocked the boot loader, then flashed the custom recovery. All was fine, and I could boot into recovery, however recovery can not mount any filesystems. So I rebooted, now the Nexus does not boot, but hangs on the intro animation, normally meaning in my experience that the kernel is looped and is no longer finding (or else) booting the OS. I've tried booting 3 times.
So then, the steps I took,
enable USB debugging
were copy over the zip file for supersu
reboot to (fastboot mode), verify device
unlock boot loader "fastboot oem unlock"
flash the recovery "recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.3-manta"
reboot into recovery
Failed to mount filesystems
for instance "E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command or E:Can't mount /sdcard .... (you get the idea).
rebooting again a leaving it does nothing.
I also tried side loading a new image in my case "ThunderKat_manta-KRT16S-20131201" and after installing the "UniversalAdbDriverSetup", I was able to do so, I also was also able to side load the google apps "GoogleAppsPack-4.4-20131128", in both cases I get a success message after the install, however there after when I attempt to reboot I'm still stuck looking at the boot animation.
Now I'm really confused as if if the OS was destroyed when I unlocked the device, then side load of the zip contains a new kernel and OS image so it should be working, but it is not. In fact, recovery while still working throws the same can not mount exceptions after the flash as it did before (I rebooted) as I was previously getting and a factory reset, fails to mount /data, but does flash /cache and sd-ext without issues, so again I'm lost as to what to do.
Best guess I have is that partitions such as /data are just missing, I have no idea the state of teh device in such a case, but recovery and side loading using adb are working, how do I recover a working ANDROID OS from here?
Thanks,
ERIC

Hi,

Although I successfully installed SuperSU, but still lack of SU power, those apps required SU access are not working at all.

If you are going to follow the commands he listed in step 7 then yes you need to enable "USB Debugging" before you go ahead and unlock the Bootloader. Installing SuperSU alone will not give you root access, you need to flash the SuperSU .zip file in recovery as the end of step 7 mentions to properly gain root access. If your still confused about anything or have any questions let me know I'll be happy to help you .

Thanks for your kind offering of hands!
Last night I tried again to re-flashed latest TWRP as well as latest SuperSU.
I ran 2x Root Checker,
1 said rooted,
1 said no root access, no BusyBox available.
I tried some apps like GMD Gesture, no working or no root access.
So,
Should I redo everything: enable USB Debugging then unlock bootloader then flash CWM then install SuperSU?
I initially gone thru above steps w/o enabling USB Debug..
Many thanks!

Not that I can think of, nope...
Hello everyone,
I noticed that this is a common problem and I realize just not that I shouldn't have just updated without informing myself.
Anyway, I checked and the root seems to be gone (checked with Root Checker, although the SU app is still there [but not working]).
I checked the fastbook and it says 'unlocked', which is good, I don't have to lose data.
How do I re-root properly?
I am using OS X at the moment and I have access to adb but, if needed, I can access a Windows computer again and use Nexus Root Toolkit again (that's what I used the first time I rooted).
I have CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip and recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.9-manta.img.
I checked the bootloader and it says 'no command' but it still has:
- reboot system now
- apply update from ADB
- wipe data...
- wipe cache...
Thanks in advance for any help
First thing - Nearly always you will lose root after applying an OTA - at least lately so that's not really a big deal.
Second - Get and always use the Latest version of root zip from chainfire: http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip
Or you can also just apply SuperSU from google play and you will prompted to reboot to update binaries etc. after you apply the OTA.

I got the same problem.
I solved it by just by downgrading and upgrading back to the latest version of Cyanogenmod.

I have the same problem...
I have the same problem, I have installed the 4.4.3 OTA and now SuperSU stopped working.
Any advice?
Easily got my root back using Wugfresh toolkit.
Only the paid for version of SuperSU - "Pro" will attempt to keep root after an OTA update. It worked perfectly for me on a 5, 7 and 10.

...after having to go through this over and over again with every single update I'm starting to think that having root is definitely not worth the pain.
If you switch to TWRP using its built in SuperSU install makes re-rooting a breeze.

Not that I'm aware of and I'm pretty familiar with the n4. This is why I don't recommend people flash custom roms if they don't have access to a pc. Stuff happens that can only be solved with a pc. That's the position you're in now.

Both methods work regardless of what android version you start with.

You have to be on N bootloader and radio, but, yes the method 1 is for MM to N

In either method that I have posted here you can be on any radio, any bootloader, or any kernel. It will always work regardless.

That means that your zip contains already the new N bootloader and radio. Bye the way, are they different from N3?

Yes, my zips include both radio and bootloader. As far as I can tell N4 radio and bootloader are the same as N3.

I´m on marshmallow with a custom kernel, what is the best metod for me?

I tired to Root with Nexus root Tool kit Preview 4 and Got The Dead Android No Command
is skype working or library problems , can someone check if gdmss hd lite is working when connecting to a camara ? in dp3 fails with library problems
Can't even Flash it, twrp(3.0.2-0) is stuck on "trying decryption"?
No problems with install.
1. System Restore
2. Flash ROM,kernel,adaway fix and SU2.74
Only problem I find now is TiBu won't restore APP's it will restore some settings and call logs though.
Found a few other things that are not working correctly. Not sure if it's ROM related. Root Explorer and Explorer lock up when opened.
I have wiped and tried everything twice all with same results.
3rd time is the charm. Did a full wipe and install now these apps are working.
Does this work for Verizon? HD calling
Slingbox app didn't work on preview 3 that's my main reason I'm back on MM

You'll most likely will need to go back into secret menu and turn it back on.. That's what you do when you flash new radios
