I tried the systemless root method several times.. None of it works.
If my superSU app says I'm rooted, Android pay doesn't work. Only way to get it working again is if I UNROOT using the superSU tool.

Root with the systemless root method, and delete "/su/xbin_bind". Android Pay will work. However, you might break root compatibility with older apps that haven't been updated.

Can confirm this allowed me to add my CC again, have not yet tried paying yet. I have 2.66 beta, and using AdAway, TiBu, and Greenify. So far no issues.
am I deleting the whole SU folder? or just the XBIN_BIND?

yes, mine definitely works.
FYI, greenify breaks it, just having it installed for me (even if disabled)
adaway does not have to though, long as you flash the systemless hosts zip file before installing and applying it

Here's a solution if you are as unfortunate as I am with the 4.3 and keep losing root.
Install vroot from market.
Open it and run root.
Repeat 2x.
Reboot.
Go to market and install SuperSu apk
Got to Chainfire site and download SuperSU-v1.89.zip
Reboot in recovery and flash the zip you downloaded. (for my piece of mind, I flashed TWICE).
Reboot. You should now have root.
If not, repeat process.
NOTE - There are many ways to root, but it seems, this is the only one that has kept my root privileges and no need of PC.
Hope this helps
explains how it works in more detail the recovery will not let me put the zip SuperSU I have the factory recovery

Is this your first time rooting? If so, you need a custom recovery first. Either TWP (latest version) or CWM (latest). To install those, you need Odin and must use PC so it can push recovery into phone
I'm curious why you use vroot (which roots your phone) and also flash root? Why not run vroot, download su, open stand allow it to update binaries? I used vroot from my pc, but I imagine the app works the same. In a side not installing a recovery and rooting with just the app should not trip knox, mine didn't

I've tried vroot on its own. I've tried to just flash SuperSU. I've also tried to use vroot plus updating binaries on supersu. Kept losing root. LoL. This seems to hold it.

I've uploaded it here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/33733849/Vroot_v1.0.5.1.apk
I root for two reasons: Tethering and ad blocking. I currently can't tether on my AT&T M8. Now I can't get ad blocking working. I have tried adaway and it can't apply the hosts file.
This is the same issue as with the M7. The system is writable, so it can't modify the hosts file. I tried flashing the hosts zip file manually, but that isn't working either. Anyone know of a workaround? If I can't block ads, this thing is going back. I'm starting to wonder why I even bothered unlocking my bootloader.
Update: neither Adaway or Adfree work. They randomly stop blocking ads and cause the phone to restart when you try to apply the hosts file. Adblock Plus does seem to be working well, however. I'd still prefer a hosts file method of blocking, but this seems to be the only solution without s-off.
If your rooted what about xposed framework, there is a really good ad blocking module you can download that works better than ad away etc not sure if you have to be s-off or not I was using it on my One M7, waiting to get the M8

Neither will work right now because the system is protected. Kernel module is being worked on which will disable write protect, and then adblockers will work.

As an update: I was having issues with Adblock Plus as well (it stopped working a few times and had to be force closed after completely blocking my internet connection). I finally went here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327934
And flashed the Adaway hosts through TWRP. It flashed successfully and now all is well. Tested and working all ads are blocked. Does anyone know where I could find a more updated flashable hosts file? That one was from June of last year.
Thanks.

That one doesn't work. It was the first one I tried to flash. It fails to flash in TWRP, at least the version installed on my M8.
I am using xposed module xad and it works great. The one in the xposed app wouldnt install for some reason so downloaded the apk and installed it that way. No more ads.

Yes xposed works great. As has been posted on a few threads you have to install xposed as a zip from recovery. I googled xad apk and it was one of the first few results that came up.

Adfree seems to work fine at first, but it will cause your phone to reboot when you update it. Unless you have S-off, it will have issues sim linking the host file and writing it.

I was unaware of that. I've always been s-off while using it.
I just got the ota on a new phone. One
my old one I was running pure nexus with systemless root with echo commands
On this one I'm non rooted on N
My question is, is there a way to systemless root and all without losing data? I saw a post about the CF auto root not wiping data. Can I run that, then run the unroot, then systemless root?
Are you sure CF auto root doesn't install systemless root? And why do you need systemless over system root?

If so, can you post a little about the initial setup? If you want to change kernels do you have to resort back to stock each time?
I understand you need to be completely stock when you install it the first time, I assume with an unlocked bootloader?

I use Magisk on all Nougat roms. I haven't had any luck with "Chainfires" SuperSU v2.78 or any other version for that matter. I think the set up requires a couple more steps that just flashing a SuperSu zip like the one we are all used to but the benefits that come with Magisk are worth it and it just plain works. And if you use the Magisk manager you can also toggle SElinux on and off and turn root on and off for apps that require no root.. I have been on board since N hit and we has no working root accept for this, and once I used it I was hooked.

Yea no prob.
What I did was use the nexus root toolkit to unlock my bootloader (replacement phone) then followed this guide
http://blog.meltedpeng.com/easiest-way-to-install-systemless-root-and-xposed-on-your-nexus-5/
But I replaced the su with the phh super user from magisk.
I also did Franco kernel.
If I need to explain more let me know.
hie guys i am actually new to magisk and using this for pokemon go, my phone is nexus 6p and running android 7.1.1. Everything is working fine as i have checked on root checker pro, I am having some problems and i hope i will get some help here

I flashed Magisk v 12, but not showing up in the Magisk manager app.
I'm on Google Pixel ROM(rooted), with SuperSU.
I thought that the installation guide on the Magisk site said that Magisk would over write SuperSU.

If the ROM does not come with root, reflash ROM and​ then magisk.

Magisk does not overwrite supersu, if it detects supersu it does not install it's own superuser version. It continues to allow the system use supersu.
If you want to use magisk and use magisk's su, then you'd need to use a rom that does not come rooted and then flash magisk.

Finally got Magisk installed by removing SuperSU, reflashing the boot image (stock), then Magisk - all good!

A lot of apps won't work if they detect root, or if the SafetyNet won't pass. Android Pay is one of them, but a lot of banking apps, Pokemon Go, Mario Run, etc won't work.

I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3. And it's running a ROM called Mokee open source project. And it's pretty good and I wish to play Brawl stars but I can't because of root. I tried various methods to unroot it like using Super SU and then uninstalling stuff like that, but it still doesn't work. So I was wodering if there was a way to make it so Brawl stars doesn't detect root? Or a way to unroot? And also what happens if I delete the su file in the xbin for the ROM zip and installed it? Would that get rid of root? help plzzzz
