Hey,
I'm trying to make Secure Settings work but I think the app is not compatible with systemless root (if this is not true, tell me please). I went with systemless root at first because it was the latest and what everyone was talking about but, tbf, Android Pay is not even available where I live so I see no point on staying with systemless.
I'm on Cataclysm and ElementalX. What's the best way to go from systemless root to system root?
Thanks
Sorry for reviving an old post - but same here. I flashed the latest SuperSU zip without knowing it was systemless.
I believe you can unroot usign SuperSU and then flash an earlier version of the SuperSU zip that works with Marshmallow.
Systemless root trip knox?
You can't root without installing a custom recovery, so yes.
hope i am not violating any forum rules here, as i know how strict they can be. I am not a noob in this area, ive rooted and flashed all my phones since my droid x on. I miss my s-off HTC so bad. I did 5 minutes of research and thought all Galaxy S7s were bootloader/recovery unlockable...only to find out the american versions arent after im stuck with s Sprint SM-G930P. I was able to root and install xposed with the engineer boot.img and odin. Since TWRP or recovery isnt an option I have tried for months to systemless root this thing to hide root and pass safetynet. Ive tried flashfire to flash SU systemless 2.78SR5 and root switch and am on android 6.0.1 PE1 firmware following guides here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s7/how-to/sm-g930p-root-t3410604 but after factory reseting and trying Rootswitch (will hide exposed but not root with flashfire installing it since bootloader lock doesnt allow TWRP) I piddled with magisk but I am not on the Equinox unlockable s7 and am just at a loss here. Any one out there know of a way to hide root with this version of S7? Im out of ideas and any help here is appreciated. When i flashfire Supersu i get the locked out modified boot img error, but selecting AP and flashing the engineer boot img will get me back up rooted but root switch is a no go. I can use buildprop/rootzwitch to set selinux permissive sstatus but still fail. I refuse to let samsung not let me root my phone properly. I ser xposed modules like snorlax being updated so there seems to be a way to use xposed modules in PoGo while hiding root/xpised but every guide i see leads to TWRP instructions. Can i adb/terminal install magisk/rootswitch? and stiil use modules? (Cart before the horse question seeing as right now i cant bypass safetynet.) HELP!!
Have you made any more progress with this by chance?
I just rooted my phone and trying to get Airwatch to not detect root. I saw a thread for Unwatch and was following root guide to install xposed, but that makes airwatch crash, and then I read if xposed is installed it wont work.
Then something mentioned Magisk. Now Im not sure what that is but then something else said you need xposed for magisk?
So I'm going in circles and not sure where to go from here.
I just got my Moto G4 Plus and want to root it. Does somebody have a good guide for rooting it?
I found this guide on youtube, can I just follow this?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3bhXe3msxU&t=3s
What stock OS are you running on your device, Marshmallow or Nougat?

I just updated to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow
If you're on Marshmallow (6.0.1), then the guide you linked should work, you may wish to keep the stock kernel (and not flash ElementalX). Also, instead of phh superuser, you could choose to flash SuperSU or magisk.
Here's a guide for rooting on Marshmallow 6.0.1 as well https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/root-systemless-rooting-supersu-2-74-2-t3405772 You may wish to use a newer build of SuperSU than mentioned in the guide - the latest build currently is 2.82 SR1.

Looking through that video, I think it should work for 6.0.1 - as an aside for anyone reading this, the root procedure for Nougat is different. Though the resources linked in the video may work (I have not tested them), you may, as I mentioned above, wish to flash newer versions of TWRP and SuperSU than that linked in the video:
TWRP - (official): https://dl.twrp.me/athene/
I personally use shreps' TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...covery-twrp-3-0-2-r3-moto-g4-g4-plus-t3494337
SuperSU v2.82: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703 Ideally, you'll want to use v2.79 SR3 or newer as they're systemless root.
EDIT: this guide linked to in the video has a nice description of some of the steps you'll need: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/guide-newbie-resource-thread-t3386584
One thing I'd add to those guides is before you flash SuperSU, make a backup of all of the partitions in TWRP (on the TWRP main menu, you'll see 'Backup'). If SuperSU fails to root or causes instabilty, you'll have a backup to fall back to.
Additionally, when flashing TWRP, you'll see the 'Image not signed or corrupted' warning, that's normal. As long as [OKAY] comes up in fastboot after flashing and you reboot to recovery afterwards (so TWRP is set as your recovery), then TWRP should stick.
You may also receive OTA messages - do not accept these whilst rooted and with TWRP. if you wish to turn them off, have a look here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72373828&postcount=12
Don't FLASH TWRP, just BOOT it up, do whatever you need to do and... keep your stock bootloader. The TWRP is useful mostly for CM/Lineage ROM's, for stock it's just a headache waiting to happen.

I managed to root my phone without bricking it! I think......
SuperSU was not on the phone when I rebooted the phone like in the video. I had to download it through play store. But since it says its rooted on root checker, and I could grant it permission, im pretty sure I done it right.
Thanks for the help I really appreciate it
