I also got Super Su to work, but can't install BusyBox

Magisk should work perfectly.

Trying to root NBD91K sends the phone into a bootloop

I am running NBD91K build, but every time I flash supersu, it sends my phone into a bootloop. I am running the latest TWRP and tried SuperSu 2.78 SR5. Anyone having the same problem?

Are you using suhide by any chance?
I've been stuck at bootloop when i tried to force system (not systemless) root on nougat. So my first thought was to delete /data/.supersu... then I've managed to reinstall root systemlessly, but after a few tries it stayed on the bootloop.... I had to reflash system.img and then I flashed the supersu once again and it works like magic.
Yes, I am using suhide

Suhide does not work with 7.0+ roms with the November security patch. You need to flash the suhide Uninstaller and just use supersu
You're right, unintalling suhide and I can boot my phone after rooting, thanks. Too bad suhide doesn't work with the november patch, otherwise I can't get android pay working.

I installed magisk manager and phh superuser, how do I get Android Pay to work with it? do I need a custom kernel?

Ensure that you have uninstalled SuperSU prior to flashing Magisk v9 and phh Superuser.
After, install Magisk Manager apk posted on its thread and phh Superuser manager & SafetyNet Helper from playstore.
You can then hide Magisk from SafetyNet within Magisk Manager setting. Run SafetyNet Helper to test whether you pass the SafetyNet check or not. If everything is passed, then you should be able to use Android Pay & Pokemon Go .

1. Both 2.8 and 2.81 won't work on our device, mostly 2.81
2. I had it semi working on 2.8 but when I have updated to 2.81 I've lost root and couldn't re-install it
3. you can either revert back to 2.79 SR3 which work just fine or try Magisk v 12.0
4. I moved to magisk and so far so good, at least until chainfire will get his bugs rooted
SuperSu 2.81 running just fine on my device

Same thing happened to me. Flashed 2.79 SR3 to get root back. 2.82 has been released but I haven't tried it.
Edit: Updated to 2.82 and it works fine on all my devices - Nexus 6P, Nexus 2013, GS4 & Acer A500 tab.

Could you write a short tutorial about magisk installation. Tried 3 times to install it, but nothing happened "no root".

Actually a tutorial would be very short one.
* I have downloaded the zip installation file version 12.0
* copy it to your sdcard in your phone
* boot into custom recovery mode
* flash the zip file via the recovery
That's it.
It's the same as flashing chainfire supersu zip file.

That's the only thing i've done.
You can also download the magisk utility from the play and use it to root your device.

Extract the boot.img from your ROM and flash before magisk zip. It always clears up any issues I'm having. If your using custom kernel will need to flash again.
I have the same problème so I just flashed magisk but seems like I can't change the permissions

As suggested before, flash your boot.img and the re-apply the root of your choice.

Problem with Magisk

Hello. I have recently installed RocateX v6 and I'm trying to get ViperFX to work. Magisk Manager says magisk is installed, phone is rooted, but I can't install modules, even in TWRP, which says Magisk isn't installed. Any ideas?

Working BusyBox for Oreo

I did a semi search on how to get busybox working on Oreo, found chatter of using this app for busybox but for a different phone. I figured it wouldn't hurt to try. I needed BusyBox for Cerberus app to work and block the status bar access.
I downloaded this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.meefik.busybox
Go to it's settings and change your install path *if your using supersu like I am path is:
/sbin
After you set your path, install. Then reboot.
After boot the BusyBox app used states that busybox wasn't installed but when I used a BusyBox checker app it's installed and working. My Cerberus app works too and blocks the status bar from locked screen. Busybox has been working after reboots. It sticks
Anyways, busybox is working on Oreo ver.11
Question: Now that you've installed that, can you still boot TWRP on your device and have it still ask to decrypt your file system? I've attempted 3 times with different types of busybox install locations, and each time I install it to anywhere in /system/, TWRP no longer prompts for the decryption key or password to access the file system.

I mean do you have root after boot? What version of su are you using?

Does this Busybox/method make V4A work on Oreo? Anyone with any success?
I think this is the best busybox. It does not break Root. Flash in recovery.

That worked. Thanks.
Thanks, this thing worked, just make sure to mount system first before flashing=)
Stericson Busybox has been updated and is in the Play Store. Installs to the default location. All works after install and after reboot including root (I am using SuperSU 2.82 SR4), suhide and Adaway. Patience pays off in this case. I have always had the best luck with this dev's work.

I just updated to Stericson Busybox. I Installed to /sbin/supersu/xbin and all functioning as expected. Even after re-boot.
Deleted: nevermind, good to go now
Did this, lost root. Re-Flashing Su does not work (no root no su app) Cannot uninstall busybox due to lack of root.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I've had success installing busybox via the Magisk Manager as they have it as a module you can install. It was as easy as installing Magisk, choosing their BusyBox module, and restarting my phone. Now I can use Lucky Patcher / any other app that requires it without a problem, Systemless-ly rooted, no custom recovery or kernels.
Any update!??
Its called osm0sis BusyBox for ndk
