Rooting, SuperSU, Magisk vs Stock and Modded Kernels

Hi guys,
I've searched but have not found a satisfying answer yet. Coming from Kitkat and Lollipop without the need for Magisk.
Why would one use SuperSU AND Magisk? I mean, sure Magisk is to achieve a "systemless" root, but would not the use of SuperSU give you by definition system-based root?
Also, does it matter which kernel you use?
Stock with SuperSU, need for Magisk?
Modded kernel (eg: SuperStock for Exynos), still need Magisk?
Does SE enforcing vs permissive have any bearing on the above?
Thanks guys.

So after some reading, it seems that with Google's November security update, systemless root is required, and hence Magisk must be installed.
Is this true for modded kernels as well?
Also, why would Xposed framework require Magisk? Isn't root, root? Systemless or not.

Viper4Android on N910C

Hi,
I recently bought a N910C, rooted it and installed Viper4Divine FX (V4D), instead of my usual Viper4Android. I have noticed that V4D does not always auto-start, sometimes I have to close and restart it.
So, my question is, which version of Viper do you use? Is there any version that works without the said problems? Thanks!

Viper or Xposed?

Hey all,first of all thank you everyone who has worked on this device it is super appreciated. I hope Im posting this question in the right spot but I was wondering if anyone has a LG K20 plus/T-Mobile and has sucessfully installed Viper or Xposed Framework? Its been a few years since I owned an LG or installed these on a device of mine so if anyone has could you briefly run the steps by me mainly for Viper (I did go to the Viper forum on here but still had no luck installing on Nougat) not Xposed.Thanks again everyone for your time!!!

I'm running aicp rom and installed xposed and v4a with no problem. Think the trick was that I had to install busybox in system/xbin. Pretty sure it worked on stock as well.
Anyway Gluck.
Edit: I should mention I have the metro variant (mp260). But it doesn't seem to matter.

awesome ill do that thanks!

With the 32 bit ROM, v89 arm SDK 25.
If you install xposed 3.1.5 apk in this post, go to the framework option and choose install through recovery, it wil install the correct framework for you.

After reboot it's all good

Thanks! Viper is running ,and it's been awhile, has a whole new look and is great on this device! I appreciate the Xposed help,tried once to no avail, so im grateful for the direction I need to go! Great forum! Thanks all!

I can get viper no problem,but Xposed I only can install framework,but first reboot after ANY module and bootloop.magisk modules work though

First post ever anywhere.
I am looking to install xposed on stock rom 7.0
Things i have tried:
Fresh install through twrp v89 sdk 24 (and all other official versions i could find)
Fresh install purify os xposed through twrp
Froze all lg related apps and tried both of the above again
Each time after reboot k20 freezes at metro screen. (Waited over an hour)
I reinstalled stock firmware through lg up before trying each of the above.
Cache and dalvik cache cleared each time
Lg k20 plus
Android 7.0
Security patch feb 1 2018
Kernal version 3.18.31
Build # nrd90u
Software version mp26010x
Any help is greatly appreciated

Same problem with rooted stock mp260. Something LG did to Android is obviously at fault here since it works for other devices just fine. If I had the time I'd try my hand at hunting the problem down, but I can't.

Can't root Lineage OS 17.1?

Brother I have recently installed Lineage OS 17.1.
But now I can't root my phone.I have tried Magisk Root, SuperSU root and also Kingroot.But this device is not rooted. And I have no pc.
Can anyone solve how to root my Lineage OS 17.1 on Samsung Galaxy J500H?

Ask on the applicable thread. There is no need to open a new question about a ROM that is already posted.
You need to also give more info about how you tried to install and what exactly did you do.
A proper but report is needed to troubleshoot

Flash latest magisk.zip via twrp
It should be latest bc you have installed latest Android!
Super su or kingoroot or any sh*it apps like that was maded for KitKat to noghat, not even pie or oreo
Only way is to flash latest magisk
Version 20.4 is preferred

addon su
There is too an official addon to root LOS 17.1 or ?
You can flash it in TWRP like magisk.
