SuperSU won't update binary

So I rooted my Nexus Player running Marshmallow (6.0) using the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344
My bootloader is unlocked, I flashed the boot.img from the first post in the above thread, (already flashed TWRP), then booted into recovery and flashed SuperSU 2.56 from the 2nd post. When I launch SuperSU it tells me that the SU binary needs to be updated, but it can't do it the "normal" way so I try to do it via the TWRP way, it says it's going to attempt to boot into recovery, but recovery never comes up, it looks like it's rebooting, and just hangs on a black screen. So I tried doing "adb reboot recovery" when SuperSU says it's going to try to reboot into recovery itself and do that before clicking ok, but I get the same results. If I go into recovery via the hardware button, no updating happens. It just loads recovery. If I load up the Nexus Player like normal boot, and connected to my PC do "adb reboot recovery" it loads the recovery fine without hanging on any black screen.
So I'm at a loss here on what to do. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Help twrp

I have a Huawei P9 Lite and i have installed twrp and android 7.0 on it. Now I want to install Google assistant, but when i try to boot in twrp recovery (volume down + power b) it shows me the screen where it says ''Installing update'' and then freezes at 5 % so i have to hold my power button to power off the phone.
If I dont try to run in the twrp, phone works just fine.
I apologize for my bad english.

Hi there,
I will move your thread in the correct forum dedicated to Huawei P9 Lite for more relevant answers.
Good luck

Bump..
Just to state that I am in the same boat here; as I am facing the same issue. Here's what happened in my case (using a guide found here at XDA-Developers):
-- unlocked the bootloader
-- booted to bootloader and flashed twrp
-- used adb to reboot to recovery (adb reboot recovery)
-- used twrp recovery to flash nougat update (two zip files, one ~1300mb and second ~680mb)
-- had some errors that were expected, the guide said ignore them and reboot after both zips have been flashed.
-- the flash overall was successful as the phone booted in emui 5 with android nougat. However, there was no virtual keyboard; so decided to do a factory reset
-- rebooted to recovery, but this time, the phone booted to huawei erecovery
-- did a factory reset, but to no avail
-- now, i can't boot into twrp to flash anything else. booting into bootloader and using fastload to flash recovery image is successful, but the phone does not boot to twrp recovery; remain stuck on "your phone is booting up" (or something similar).
My phone is not bricked, as basic telephony, wifi and built-in apps are working fine. But, without a keyboard, its pretty useless for everyday use. Any help in this matter will be appreciated.

This seems helpful; but how can I flash recovery if I can't boot to fastboot?
[Update] Oh, got to fastboot, trying the suggested recovery now.

Fixed
Fixed using the suggestion above. Thanks.

Device Boot Looping/Soft Brick

I decided to unlock the bootloader so that i could flash TWRP recovery but after unlocking the bootloader on my device, it has been stuck on the logo screen with "powered by android" under it. I have tried using fastboot to clear userdata & cache but that just leads to my phone again being stuck on the logo screen. The device also can't boot into recovery. When I chose to power off in fastboot it causes me to be stuck on the logo screen. Any help is appreciated I am on android oreo btw

Did you try a back to stock zip? go to fastboot and run flash-all.bat, while your device is plugged in ofcourse.

Let me guess.
You unlocked the boot loader and flashed TWRP and now you are looping, right?
There is no compatible TWRP that is compatible with Oreo on this phone.
You cannot leave TWRP installed. You can only install it along enough to get the recovery to boot.
You then must flash the stock boot image.

I had this problem tonight also. In my case I suspect it had to do with the install of magisk in which I checked both boxes and patched the bootloader. on reboot I was stuck on boot. Just wanted to add my solution. I got the pie back to stock zip here https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/development/stock-7-1-1-nmj20d-t3701681 then I put it into the adb folder and ran the flashall.bat script. I tried the no wipe one and it saved my information. very happy I didnt have to resetup my phone in the end.

did you remember to flash a stock boot.img before flashing magisk (to clear TWRP?)

Little help stucked on OP logo at boot

Hello,
First to get this out of the way i have searched the topic and there were several "solutions" none worked for me.
How it started, I downloaded the latest LieneageOS update as always, set the phone to do it's thing, came back and the phone was stucked on OP log, tried a little reboot, nothing.
No access to recovery or fastboot.
computer wouldn't recognize device even after installing drivers, this guide helped me a little https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...ck-guide-for-a-hard-bricked-oneplus-2.347607/
found tools got fastboot back and original recovery.
via fastboot attempted to installed TWRP
fastboot flash recovery twrp****.img
and then tried to boot into recovery
fastboot boot twrp****.img
Not able to boot into twrp
after all that my phone still stucked on the boot OP logo
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone has any idea, sorry I have been scouring and reading everywhere, but I can't find a solution.
Thank you

So i have been trying many things and finally getting somewhere. I apologize for the long post, but i have been trying so many things to get this device back to speed.
So flashing TWRP newer version for some reason is not letting me boot into recovery.
I have flashed twrp-2.8.7.0 and i am able to boot into recovery, however when trying to install the ROM (LineageOS 16) i get error E3004.
Searching the web i find that the correction is to that error is to update TWRP, thus i have tried flashing
twrp-3.2.1-0 and twrp-3.1.1-0 and once installed i am not able to boot into recovery again.
I flashed 2.8.7.0 and i was able to get in, thus from inside TWRP i did an image install of twrp-3.1.1-0 and rebooted, recovery won't load. I proceeded to repeat this until i get a result.
I flashed twrp-3.0.2-0 and be able to boot. However still not able to install LOS.
Once i tried flashing twrp-3.0.2-1, recovery won't load.
For sake of argument i flashed twrp-3.0.2-0 and attempted a image install for twrp-3.0.2-1, but the system still won't boot to recovery.
I have completely formatted the phone.
I hope someone could give me a little advice . Thank you.

[SOLVED] Unable to enter TWRP/Stock recovery and can't boot into system

Hi,
I have been using my P Smart (FIG-LX1) for a while with LineageOS 16 and decided to move on to Android 10. Installed LineageOS 17.1 (found it on this forum) and pph-Magisk 20.3 for root - it did work, but the system was unstable so i decided to try AOSP 10.0 instead. I entered TWRP, wiped cache,dalvik,system and data, flashed the ROM, gapps etc. It was advised to now flash stock recovery and use it to do a factory reset - and now i'm stuck here.
After flashing the recovery_ramdisk img the phone stopped being able to enter any recovery at all. The system itself does not boot (stuck on the "Your device has been unlocked (...) Your device is booting now..." screen forever), the recovery never appears (previously in the start screen with 'unlocked device' warning it used to suggest pressing volume UP to enter recovery, now it only shows "Your device is booting now"). As i can still access fastboot, I tried flashing TWRP again - the TWRP splash screen does appear, but the phone gets stuck on it. Also tried flashing another system's img - nothing changed.
Is there anything I can do or did i just brick it completely?
Thanks for help!
SOLVED:
Apparently running fastboot erase on system and userdata partitions made me able to boot into recovery/erecovery again. I do have another problem now, but it's not connected with this one so I will create another thread for that.

Could you try help me? I can't even get ADB to work anymore
