I just got a nexus 7 2013 off swappa and flashed it to stock. I want to root this and use xposed but the supersu zip makes the device just hang on the bootanimation. I can get TWRP installed just fine, but I can't root. Already tried making more space in the system partition.

What root technique did you try?
I always use the Nexus Root Toolkit, because it automates the entire process

I have tried using your technique twice and believe me I have run into the same problem.
Try the technique I recomended in the previous post.
It should work flawlessly as long as you have the proper configurations.
What version of twrp are you using? Only the newer 2.65 versions of supersu work with marshmallow. Just use the zip flash method to do it and it will not be stuck in a bootloop

Yeah I just ended up flashing cyanogenmod. I think it has to do with the system partition being too full

Well, I just flashed back to stock because of the security update and the fact that I was sick of the CM bugs even in the snapshot. I used NRT like you suggested and it went perfectly other than the fact that I had to manually reboot into recovery a couple of times. I was a bit skeptical with using auto root methods but NRT is great because it shows you what it is doing unlike some other chinese auto rooters ahem kingRoot, kingORoot, whatever.
The problem was the SuperSU included in TWRP doesn't work with Marshmallow. As posted above you just needed to use a newer version of SuperSU.zip. But WUGS toolkit is great. Glad you got it sorted.

I've unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and have been trying to install SuperSU v1.65 (and 1.55 previously) but when I tell TWRP to reboot into Android it tells me I don't have root and asks if I want to root. No matter my answer, I cannot get the tablet to boot with root access. Any ideas? I've even tried Wugs Toolkit and SkipSoft's toolkit and neither does the trick. Help!
Hmmmmm.... I skipped the install superSU after I had TWRP because from there I just flashed AOKP.
What are the exact steps you've done?

Yeah, I thought about just going for a ROM with SuperSU baked in but am still not sure as I'm testing out Paranoid Android on my N10 still. Normally, I just flash a ROM immediately, I've never tried to root and run a stock Google ROM before.
Anyways, I unlocked the tablet immediately as to not lose information once I decided to root and ROM. I had the tablet for about a week before deciding to root it, so of course all the USB Debugging, USB drivers, etc. stuff was already done. Then I:
downloaded CWM recovery to PC
copied SuperSU 1.55 to the root of the sdcard (later on I switched to SuperSU 1.65)
fastboot oem unlock'd it
fastboot flash recovery'd latest CWM
rebooted into recovery
flashed SuperSU
rebooted into Android (this is when I get the "you're device is not rooted..." dialog)
Once booted, root access is not allowed, so I flashed TWRP via fastboot and still couldn't get root. I tried both recoveries several times each. As mentioned before, I have tried both telling CWM/TWRP to root the device and not doing so, but neither way allows me to keep root. This is when I tried SkipSoft and Wugs Toolkits. Both said they rooted the device but I got nothing.
Did you update the su binaries once you booted?

Well, SuperSU is nowhere to be found on the device once it boots, so no. I did try installing SuperSU from the Play store and it warns me that the binaries are not updated but then immediately closes and doesn't let me update them (I'm guessing its because I have no root access).
That is odd indeed. Try downloading superSU zip again. If TWRP says you don't have root and asks to fix, say no.

I had problems originally but I did like others. I downloaded the newest SuperSU 1.65.zip, moved it onto the N7. Booted into TWRP, selected Install and selected the zip. After that I rebooted from TWRP and I had root.

I am just trying to understand where things are going wrong.
I went back and did a fresh factory image of KRT16O wiping user data.
I then copied
http://download.chainfire.eu/346/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.55.zip
to the virtual sdcard.
I rebooted to bootloader and started twrp using
fastboot boot twrp.img
Then I chose to install SuperSU 1.55 using the above file.
Then rebooted to Android.
The SuperSU app was in the app drawer and I could perform su from adb shell and it would ask for permissions.
After I installed the factory images, I rooted my device. I don't use toolkits, because I think they make thing more complicated that it actually is. It is best to learn ADB whenever you can. That makes rooting so much easier.
Before I entered the bootloader, I downloaded SuperSU v1.69 through Chrome.
I made sure that all drivers were installed and began rooting.
Since my bootloader already was unlocked, I just flashed TWRP 2.6.3.1 with fastboot using this command:"fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-flo.img" without quotes.
That went smoothly, afterwards I rebooted to TWRP and flashed the zip... There I was rooted.
SuperSU: http://download.chainfire.eu/365/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.69.zip
TWRP: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/flo/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-flo.img
Hope this helped.
I just got root access! I found superuser in settings under apps but it would not show up in app drawer and would not give permissions to anything.I then disabled the updates back to superusers 1.55 and it showed up in app drawer and busy box asked for permission right away and root checker confirmed root access. Then updated through play store and everything is good now. Hope that helps
From rooted 6.0, I took the OTA and was stuck. Finally wiped everything and installed 6.0.1 fresh. flashed TWRP and supersu 2.60. But after boot, Supersu says binary needs to be updated - but fails to update.
TWRP works fine. Just can't root 6.0.1 with unlocked bootloader. Can anyone share the supersu that worked for 6.0.1? TIA

That wasn't my experience. I took the 6.0.1 update and it failed. So I ran
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
using the system and boot images from the 6.0 update. And then I waited for the OTA again. It installed ok.
Using TWRP I installed SuperSU 2.60 for a systemless root of the boot image. Everything is fine.
i can't even get pass installing twrp. every time i flash twrp in fastboot mode it works but it wipes my entire device. booting into twrp shows "NO OS INSTALLED' and even the sd card storage is wiped. the only way to get it to boot is to flash back 6.0.1 full stock rom. any help???

WugFresh did not work for me, after booting into TWRP and looking for the SuperSU and BusyBox they don not show up. Below is a post I have over on WugFresh Forum.
I’m having the same problem as everyone else. I’m using 6.0.1 MMB29K. It goes through the motions but when TWRP launches the /sdcard directory is empty. However, when I reboot and look at the files using an app called File Manager, I see them in /storage/emulated/0/!ReadyToFlash/Root_Files/. However, if I use a app called Root Browser I see a directory called sdcard and in there is !ReadyToFlash/Root_Files/ so they are being copied to the tablet but when you go into TWRP to install them they can’t be found. I tried to use the app Root Browser and make a directory called kiledl, this failed, probably because I do not have root access. Kind of a catch 22 here. I was just going to copy the files in sdcard to my directory and then try again. NO go!!! Anyone else have any ideas? I seems like this is some sort of permissions issue with the files but only from TWRP. I sure hope someone comes up with an answer, WugFresh and ideas?

Download latest SuperSU 2.62-3.
Root via Nexus root toolkit.
Then copy SuperSu to nexus and flash, supersu not from NRT but downloaded latest 2.62-3, busybox and last rar.
Sorry for my English.
Found a solution, the version of TWRP that WugFresh NRT is using is not compatible with this version of the N7 seems as though these were made with a different MMC memory. Check you this link and download this modified version of TWRP. You can use the NRT Advance Utilities > fastboot flash > recovery > other and then point to this modified version of TWRP and install it. Then you can proceed with the install of SuperSU and BusyBox. They will show up in the !ReadyToFlash/Root_Files/ folder to install.

noooo. That's not true. I just used NRT yesterday to upgrade to rooted 6.01.
EDIT: I think I misundersstood your post. This is only a problem if you try to install TWRP when upgrading right? If you just want to upgrade to 6.01 and keep stock recovery there is no issue.

Yes it is true, it depends on what kind of eMMC chip is in it. I have a very new device and NRT would not root it. When it booted in TWRP it could not see the !ReadyToFlash/Root_Files/ folder to install the files. There was no files on SDCard at all unless you booted to Android to verify they were in fact there. I had to install the modified Recovery TWRP file first. Saying "noooo. That's not true." is a little harsh, kinda make me a liar, I think NOT. Just because the method worked for you does not mean it worked for me. Not all devices are the same. If you read other post here you will see lots of others are having the same problem.

Correct only when using TWRP. However, I was using WugFresh NRT and it does a temporary install of TWRP then you install the SuperSU and BusyBox files. However, with the wrong version of TWRP you would not see the files in the SDCard folder, it would be empty. However, booting back to Android and using File Explorer the files where there. Using the modified version of TWRP would correct this.
interesting. i was wondering why some persons say it work and when i tried it, it wouldn't show anything in twp. can you point me to the link of the modified/correct version of twrp to use or help me by saying what to search. i don't want to sound lazy bu asking you for the link but i'm not sure as to what to google exactly to find the correct twrp to use. obviously i've been google wrong the pass few days because that hasn't come up for me in any of my past searches
Update: i found it and it works. thanks guys. now i can flash some custom roms. gonna try cm 13 tonight. thanks again

TWRP 2.8.7.0
SupersU 2.46 (also tried beta version 2.52 zip
You need to use latest SuperSU 2.65. Download
When TWRP want to install SuperSU check "Do not install" and reboot.
Hmm, I've done the above and it seemed to install correctly, but the SuperSU app which I installed from the zip is saying "no SU binary installed".
Once you flash the superSU zip you then need to install the app from the play store and open the app to finish the process

Thanks, I've also tried the app store app, it says "no SU binary installed".
For me, I can't install SuperSU as system app. (not currently available in system-less root mode). And Twrp says I'm not rooted, asks to install
Try 2.64.zip no problems for me
Running 2.65
2.64 didn't work either, still get the same problem. Think I'll just try to install it the system way.
Try starting from scratch. Flash stock ROM. RE flash twrp and beta supersu

I just reinstalled the 3.35.617.12 RUU, then TWRP 2.7.8.1_CPTB-B1, then flashed the 2.64 SuperSU zip without making system writable, rebooted without letting TWRP install su, then installed the play store app and I still get the same problem.
I just can't see what I'm doing wrong. The custom boot.img is built by the installation script - I don't need to get it from anywhere, do I? Or a custom kernel that supports it?
There doesn't seem to be the custom mount point.
If I set the /data/.supersu to SYSTEMLESS=false, it installs in the system, but bootloops (just doesn't boot, there's a repeated init permission problem with the su daemon).

Using the same vers or twrp as you, with 2.65, zero issues.
Though i have had that problem in the past, ended up being a bad zip file.
Do you want my copy of twrp and supersu?

Yeah same here.
Had to install TWRP twrp-2.8.7.1_CPTB-B1-hima and BETA-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550. then finally booted in to the OS.
I recently flashed v30b on my D855. I did a clean (CSE) flash with the LG flash tool 2014 and rooted the device with KingRoot. But every time I reboot I lose root acces.
I installed the bump'd version of TWRP with flashify, but when I try to boot into TWRP I get a MISMATCH_SIG_LEN error before the screen goes black and the led starts blinking. I then pull out the battery to start over with a fresh unrooted phone. I think I loose root acces before entering recovery or something. I did some searching, but the only solution I found was to do a clean install, which I already did.
My goal is to install TWRP to flash custom ROMs. How do I fix this?
I think that after installing root with kingroot you will need to perm root it. Kingroot is only temporaty and even if you uninstall it you get unrooted.

I'm having a sort of similar problem on my D85130d. I downgraded fine from 30g to 30d with LGUP. downloaded kingroot and rooted. That was all good. Installed TWRP and flashed the recovery rom and was able to make a backup of my current stock rom (which has saved my life because I think I've soft bricked my phone about 4 times trying to permanent root hahah). Since I AM new to rooting I think I'm missing a certain step, (or maybe the zips im trying to flash are corrupt?) Basically, tried https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...wngrading-rooting-t3608851/page3#post74961164 and I've also tried https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...ock-d851-30d-kdz-flashable-zips-imgs-t3367371. The problem with the first one is its not completely specific and like I mentioned before, I'm a white belt at rooting lol. The second thread gave me hope and i do have TWRP installed so I downloaded the 2 main zips I would need (a. LG-D85130D-Flashable.Boot-AUTOREPACK.zip
and b. SuperSU zip) reboot to recovery and flashed both zips separately then reboot. But I end up with a TMO screen and it stays like that. This last time I even left it loading on that screen for about 2 hours and no such luck. I'm wondering is there something I'm missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated from the XDA gods

I rooted it with kingroot, installed TWRP via autorec, i went in recovery and flashed the file thats in the post, rebooted and then installed supersu from the playstore and im perma rooted. After that kingroot is gone and you are left with supersu. This is the guide i followed https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/root-twrp-marshmallow-d855-30b-t3286268
