I'm rooting my old Nexus 6P for the first time, so there may be some things I don't fully understand yet. So far I have unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and Magisk and I have root access. The phone itself is on the stock ROM with all the latest possible updates.
Now I gave root access to Root Explorer in r/w mode and I would need to add a few lines into an XML file in the etc/permissions folder. However, it won't save the changes. Is this due to the stock ROM being used? Do I have to get a custom ROM or is there a way to edit the file on the stock ROM?

Well i was thinking, on my Verizon s5 the bootloader is locked correct? And i know i have safestrap recovery but recovery can't flash the blaze kernel because it can't access the locked partition correct, well what if i was on my stock rom that's rooted. ... here me out. .... well root has power, what im asking is, can't i just flash the kernel from my root rom? ?
Example of root power, if i install fx file manager, and the root plugging i can modify any system file and more because I'm root, unlike the recovery....
Hi,
flashed my nexus 4 to CM12.1 successfully. For some period everything was fine, even root access. Since an unknown point in time root access does no longer work, even though dev settings are activated and enabled and root access is set to "adb and apps". There is no "#" sign any more in the info section and all apps (Titanium Backup, TWRP Manager, ES File Explorer, ...) fail to get root access. What can I do to repair it? Can I do a dirty reflash (without wiping) to keep apps and re-gain root?
It might be possible that I caused that with the deinstall and removal of the supersu app, as I realized to late that this app is not required with CM12.1.
Thx,
Robert
I tried the dirty reflash of the 12.1 zip and it worked. Apps and data still there, root is back working.
Hey I just updated my phone through twrp and I lost root access & custom recovery. Could someone tell me how I can root my phone now again? Info of my phone is below in the pic
P.S: I used KingRoot before and it worked. But not anymore.

Of course you lost root and TWRP because a update.zip contains also recovery and other things(vendor, custom, etc.) and by flashing it the stock recovery will overwrite your TWRP and the new system will delete your root access.
And NEVER install KingRoot on this device! It will mess a lot of things(SuperSU and Magisk work)
You will need to flash TWRP again in order to have root because both supersu and magisk need to be flashed through TWRP(because they are .zip files, at least a part of the root, you will need to install the magisk app to have full root)
SuperSU root just needs to be flashed, just magisk needs an app to be installed after .zip flash.

Ok, thank you very much. Ill just wait to come back home from my Vacation and then flash twrp
I am looking to gain root on my new G5 Plus that I just purchased today. I was able to unlock the bootloader. I am looking to try to avoid modifying anything in /system (something that TWRP does by default if I'm not mistaken) and would like to gain root access.
I am unable to do this in TWRP because it is not able to read the internal storage.
I am not able to do this through Magisk because I am not able to find the default boot.img file for patching.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
download the stock rom, and get boot.img file from it.
I got this to work by booting into TWRP, leaving the system read-only, and then flashing Magisk followed by Elemental X 2.02.
Also I used ADB sideload since the internal storage will not mount without formatting the data in TWRP.
Taking OTAs should be super easy by just reflashing the stock boot image.
I Have SM-G5520 Nougat, I rooted it successfully here

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
