Flashed pure nexus but Root missing - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed purenexus rom .previously I was using truepure rom. I did clean install twice . wiped everything except internal storage and then installed purenexus rom and dynamic gapps then wiped cache and dalvik . everything went smooth but now device isn't rooted any more . I installed super su and it said root not detected
Can you please guide me how to root again . which root method is best ? And how to do it ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

You'd be good to go with Magisk (get the v12 and flash the zip in TWRP)
Now days ROMs don't come pre-rooted as often as concern for system modification and apps that block use on rooted phones.
Magisk has the ability to do root without modifying the system partition (so called systemless root) also has option to quickly hide root
If you don't care about that you can follow the guidelines suggested above by the other answer and you'll find SuperSU systemless root, and you're good to go.
Quick note, if superSU fails (bootloops) read the TWRP log while you installed SuperSU and try to find in which mode did it got installed. This is because older versions of SuperSU failed to detect Moto Clark as systemless and went for system root , which caused bootloop. There are instructions on SuperSU thread on how to force systemless root method

PHH's Root Disappeared

Hi Guys.
As the title suggests root access suddenly disappeared from my nexus 6p yesterday.
DigitalHigh rom 7.0 was flashed through the latest twrp (3.0.2-2) and everything was running fine. I got the notification that the SU binary is out of date from PHH's SuperUser. Opened it but nothing really happened. So I downloaded superSU and suddenly it prompted me that the device isn't rooted. Being unfamiliar with PHH's SU I decided to flash the latest SuperSu through TWRP but the phone wouldn't boot.
Right now it has been restored to a backup taken just before flashing SuperSU which means everything is running fine and even android pay works however there's no root access. Is there something specific that might have caused this?
Are there any ways to re-gain root?
Haven't gone through the process of a clean flash yet as the phone is needed for work however even if all of that is done the SU binary will still need to be updated. Is there a different method for updating PHH's root?
So far I have tried clearing cache etc. but noting worked.

Phhusson's superuser and SuperSU don't mix. If you're back to booted, but not rooted with Phh, you'll need to either flash one of the Nougat boot images from the nexus/angler folder or the latest superuser.zip (I think the latest is r229) from http://superuser.phh.me

Lineage * SuperSU * can't update binaries

This is my installation process [last post is OK]
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/help/wifi-problem-flashed-lineageos-t3576865
Below are screens from CATLOG [not full tho]
If I try to update binaries in TWRP it stops [nothing in TWRP logs about SU], restarts and stops during Lineage loading screen forever.
So I flash ROM again, and SuperSU from TWRP to fix it.
I was reading that after flashing SuperSU - during first restart it should ask me something like "DO you want to keep root" - it doesn't happen.
SuperSU has no apps listed with root access, but root is OK. TitaniumBackup works, but I'm afraid some of the apps doesn't work properly
Now I'm using
lineage-14.1-20170329-nightly-klte-signed.zip
addonsu-ARM-signed_14.1
SM-G900F
Is there a way to have it done?
I remember like trough a fod that once I was setting permissions in Terminal for some files before updating SU? AM I correct?
Thanks for reding
Hi,
With LineageOS, you must only use one root method otherwise problems will occur. The addonSU zip and SuperSU are not the same thing.
The provided root SU zip from Lineage should be enough to give root permissions for apps. If you want to use SuperSU instead of the SU provided by the Lineage team, you must not flash the addonSU zip.

I have tried to flash everything and indeed only addonsu-ARM-signed_14.1 is working from TWRP level. Although SuperSU from APK is working OK [latest SR4].
So root seems to be fine for browsing into root or TB! is not complaining about root, but I can not update SU binary - I have also updated Lineage to today's nightly - same thing.
I've used an S4 with lineage and flashing supersu doesn't work. ONE app in particular will not work because the su part of lineage (and old cyanogenmod) doesn't cooperate; it needs supersu for some reason. I was originally on Cyanogenmod from about a year ago, and tried flashing supersu and had this very problem, which is why I tried lineage, but lineage doesn't work and I cannot flash supersu either. I can install from the play store, but it won't update the binary; flashing in recovery fails (in both older cyanogenmod and lineage os) at the boot image patcher step.

The only reason I'm having to resort to this is because Samsung has a problem with their s7 screens failing and won't do a recall...so I'm having to use an older phone and trying to setup my rooted apps, all of which work with the standard Cyanogenmod root or lineage+su addon, except for one app.
EDIT:
Ah-ha, system mode may be the solution, but I'm still trying to get it to boot without getting stuck! I haven't tinkered with supersu in well over a year, and I didn't even know there were two methods for it now.

Supersu does not show apps after root.

Hello,
I have rooted my Samsung galaxy j5. And the root process completed successfully. But when I try to configure apps in supersu there is no apps shown in the configuration list. I set the supersu in grant access but did not work. I need help in this regard.
Thanks.
Try to reflash super su and if it doesn't do the trick you could consider flashing magisk. It's the same thing but with a different interface and more options.
I have Resurrection Remix, and I have Magisk fabrically in my phone. It's an amazing root manager. I recommend it, much better than
SuperSU.
Just download zip file, put it into your phone, and flash it with your CWM or TWRP.

SM-G5520 Nougat Not Flashing GApps with Flashfire after rooting with magisk, Help me

I Have SM-G5520 Nougat, I rooted it successfully here
Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...g5520-g5520zcu1brb1-nougat-root-twrp-t3772104
But, as mentioned there, I run Flashfire, Grant root access, Browse for GApps.zip and flash it, but after click on flash screen goes black and didn't show any proccess of flashing GApps.
After waiting 2 - 4 Hours, There was still a black screen like my phone is off and I restart my phone. Now there is not a single GApp installed there. Please help me to flash GApps.
I continue my research on rooting and flashing and i got some points that are below,
1. Magisk is system-less root that's why when ever i tried any app to modify system folder or root directory my phone got restart.
2. I tried SuperSU system-less but the device isn't going to root.
3. I tried King Root, Kingoapp, OneClickRoot, Dr. Phone root, iRoot and much more with and without PC but my device was not going to root but only Magisk root my device.
4. I tried CFAuto Root with all modifications but due to my phone didn't have "OEM Unlock" option, flashing CF Root cause failure.
5. I tried to push GApps into Original Firmware, but that way takes a lot time and i failed there because of security reasons (And that was my first attempt to modify "Firmware" I must failed ).
All the conclusion of my work let me know that i have to root my SM-G5520 Nougat as system root that will going to work 100% to flash GApps.
Now Please help me to root system wise and flashing GApps.
Thanks Advance
plz contact Gsm helper team

D802 any root methods are not working!

hi ppl
it was rooted before. used twrp and some custom roms. but later it unrooted somehow.
I tried flashing super su, magisk and ioroot. supersu and magisk turn with an error msg
io root made it stuck on bootloader animation so I flashed a backup.
how to root it?
thx in advance
1) flash latest twrp http://www.gregtwallace.com/lgg2-projects/twrp/ - then reboot into twrp
2) made absolutely all wipes incl internal and data (delete all stuff) - then reboot into twrp
3) connect to usb - and simply copy rom, gapps, and root solution what you want to flash
latest stable magisk for twrp - https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
latest supersu for twrp - Recovery Flashable.zip http://www.supersu.com/download
3) flash the rom what you wanted and flash gapps
3) flash magisk or supersu
(if android 7.1.2 or higher of course - I recommend magisk, because of working nfc pay features, a lot of great systemless addons etc...)
if you prefer old lollipop rom (for example CloudyG2_3.3 ) - it supersu only.
This is the correct sequence - which will eliminate problems with the firmware. If you deleted and installed the root earlier (as you say)

jeezes)) you already killed the rom.... and then restore the all this restores backup, this is a "dirty flash" with a bunch of "remnants". I recommend to do clean flash it in the specified sequence and everything will be ok.
You will spend a couple of 1-2 hours only on installing (and setting) completely all applications. It is not so difficult. But it will save you from a bunch of nonsense questions...
If you actually don't have TWRP recovery installed or old Kit kat Rom - this is absolutely another question and the instructions will not work for you. Also, Kit Kat and Lollipop based ROMs does not support Magisk - because of this error.

this aosp rom and gapps worked perfectly. then flashed teh magisk but again its unrooted.
it installs magisk perfectly but root checker says its not rooted. anyway thx for help
btw, aosp rom android 9 has a bluetooth bug. giving a bluetooth stopped message every 10 seconds.
so any advice anout that problem?
you must grant root permission when popup (magisk) appears.
its not automatically
popup similar as in supersu
root works excellent on d802 with Magisk
for example Es File Explorer or any Root Checker

I used supersu and it turned out to be "certification verify" problem. OS not running because of this problem but says rooted. so I can still reach twrp but it really become annoying. this is my old phone and will use as 2nd in my Thailand trip soon.
what to do now? can I use unrooted with a sim card? with no problem?
Please, don't use this nonsense "overquoting" when you answer to someone. Have some respect to the forum rules, and users.
if you want stable rom for LGG2-D802 flash
1) aosp extended based on 7.1.2 or 8.1 versions of Android.
2) flash gapps nano
3) flash magisk zip
4) after rom starts - do the first quick settings - then open Magisk (and if needed update the Magisk manager)
Do not flash both (supersu and magisk) risk to brick the phone.
"device not certified" messege will be always if you use Supersu. It's obviously. Using supersu you unable to use apps like Google pay or any banking apps, because of system root.
Magisk is systemless solution, that's why Google do not recognize Magisk's root. And Play Store on about screen always show "Your device is certified". Also you can Hide root from some apps using Hide option in Magisk manager (it's very useful for local banking apps).
I have a suspicion that you used an older version of Android KitKat (official). And now you try to flash a new Rom (above the Android 7.1.2+). You can't do this. Because you must have Lollipop bootloader. You must be an Android Lillipop first. And then (get Root, then TWRP). And after all that - you will be able to flash some of Rom we are talking about.

1) aosp extended 8.1
2) open gapps nano for 8
3) magisk beta (yes this time I tried beta ver and it worked!)
after settings etc. checked with root checker and it was ok. so magisk.apk is not necessary now
