Let's make this quick. Received nougat update, decided to root device, nougat version is nrd90r, twrp recovery version is 3.0.2-2, superSU tells me that I properly have root, root apps ask for root, the root apps never end up working and now I just want lollipop back. Tried cm 13 nightly but the zip file errors every time and I've downloaded it many times. Can someone give me some help. All I need is a rooted phone that works with Xposed. Thanks in advance for the help

right now xposed isn't compatible with nougat anyway.
to got back to M or L follow section 11 of this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206930
after that you can install twrp, supersu and xposed again.
I kNow nougat doesn't have Xposed yet and I was content with waiting it out but root doesn't even work. And I have some Google app that need to be removed lol. Thanks for the help I'll get back to you on the process!

It isn't that root isn't working, is that the apps your using need an update on how they call su. Su has changed with Android n and some things need updates to support it

Sorry I'm a newbie. I recently installed Android L using factory images but didn't love it cause I couldn't root it using the SU binaries. So, I re-installed Android 4.4.4 using factory images and rooted it as it was before. My question is will I ever get Android L update over OTA or rooting will prevent the OTA. In About Tablet it always say Your system is up to date with recent check time. Many websites said that rooting does not hinder the OTA. Also some said that you do get notification but the OTA does not get installed because of some script checking your system.
Can anyone please clarify me what is it actually? Has any of the rooted Nexus 7 here got update for Lollipop?
P.S. I know that I can always use the factory images but my question is regarding OTA update on rooted device.
If you search, you'll find 2 different methods to gain root on Android L.
The only things that will prevent an OTA from installing are a custom recovery and modified system files.
Google has all the answers that you seek.

I did install Android L and was out of luck with rooting so had to revert back to 4.4.4. I searched the forums then but none helped. Only thing I have is TWRP custom recovery and Gravity Box installed (which I think makes UI changes so system changes I suppose, not sure about that). But, even in these cases from what I read I found that you will get an OTA notification in the System Update section but thing won't get installed returning an error.
Can you post the links regarding the two methods that works on lollipop. I tried the chainfire's SUPERSU zip and installed it using TWRP recovery but that gave an error saying "SU binaries not found. Did you recently update to 4.4.3."

Are you still looking for an answer for this? Use Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root.
It is my understanding (perhaps incorrectly) that you can OTA from 4.4.4 to 5.0 with root, but any further upgrades (say, to 5.0.1) will fail if any system files have been modified. Xposed works by modifying system files, so it must be uninstalled, and root must be removed. Like I said, I'm not 100% sure about the ability to OTA from 4.4.4 to 5.0 with root, but I am sure about NOT being able to OTA from 5.0 upward with root.
Hello NPOA556, Today I'm still on 4.4.4 and I got update notification for 5.0.1 of 389 MB. But it keeps saying insufficient space on device when I still have 4.3 GB free. Does it need free space in system ROM which is just 133 MB free of 867 MB. Or this issue if because I'm getting OTA directly on 4.4.4 for 5.0.1 which is again rooted and with Xposed and other things installed?
Please guide me.
Recently I got a nexus 7 2013 5.1.1 LMY48I which I tried to root with NRT. Long story short like many other people I cant get TWRP to mount the files it needs(I get to the automated step that is suppose to open TWRP and install some files from a ZIP archive and it hangs up). First off I have a USB OTG cable coming within a couple days. I have looked for the past couple hours for a solution and keep coming up empty. Basically I have two questions, 1. what files do I need to have transferred so that I can get my Root permissions installed properly and 2. should I wait for the USB OTG calbe or should I try to use abs push
I'm in the same boat, really would like to get this thing rooted. I have been all over the WugFresh Forum, as well as Android Central and this one too of course. I have not found an answer to this problem yet. If I come across one I will post here, please do the same.
Dude. this is infuriating. Apparently the alst batch that was made, they changed the mmc chip. These all went out on Groupon and stuff on sale.
https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQue...e_to_mount_partitions_after_flashing_twrp_on/
The only recovery that I got to work was the TWRP for Multirom because they actually addressed the issue. The bug has been brought up on the TWRP flo github they just have yet to fix it.

Thank you I was able to downgrade and root my device using that method. Now I just need to figure out how to flash to purenexus or just upgrade my device to 6.+ and root it.

You can root 6.0.1 using the beta SU from Chainfire. I am running the new one from Groupon using the multirom TWRP and I flashed SU 2.65 and it worked perfectly.

I did a clean flash of stock 6.0.1. Then flashed the multirom version of TWRP since I have one of the newer chipsets of the Nexus 7. Then I flashed the beta SU. All was good. The issue I am having now is that I can't get the restore from within TWRP to work. I backup fine, but when I restore it gets partway through the system part and then just says Failed. Not really sure what the deal is there. I am guessing it has to do with this multirom version of TWRP, but I'm not really sure...
I'm trying to install the new OTA that was just released while keeping Xposed, Root, and TWRP and coming up with a process for the future to apply each OTA going forward without dealing with the mess I'm dealing with now. Any and all help is appreciated . I'm very strong and comfortable with using fastboot commands and flashing and just need someone to help me wrap my head around the process of doing this and step by step instructions of achieving my goal. So currently I have downloaded the new OTA_PERFUME_WL_M60_SENSE80GP_VZW_NA_Gen_Unlock_1.80.617.1_R-1.53.617.5_release_480240aw6u8xea6328m583.zip file. I have the latest TWRP installed on my phone, I have the latest Systemless Root zip (BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-forceencrypt.zip), as well as the latest Systemless Xposed zip (Xposed-v85.6-sdk23-systemless.zip). I have also downloaded the TWRP clean system Backup 1.53.617.5_twrp.zip. My phone is a T-Mobile HTC 10 that I've converted into a US Unlocked model by S-Offing it, changing the CID to the super CID (11111111), and installed the 1.53.617.5 RUU. I tried doing different steps on different guides here and now my phone is all sorts of messed up. Root isn't working 100% (es file explorer fails when trying to toggle on root explorer, but fx explorer works fine), and Xposed is broken (modules don't work, Xposed app saying no framework found even though I've flashed it). Can someone help me with what I should do to be able to install the OTA, root, have Xposed, and keep TWRP so that way in the future, I can apply and OTA and keep the rest?
Thanks!

I am also just starting this procedure... Just bought my 10 today, and I am starting slowly.. All I know is that if you dont change anything in /system directory and have stock recovery, OTAs perform fine.
So my plan is unlock bootloader, flash TWRP, root, flash ElementalX, install xposed and after that flash stock firmware. Both SuperSU AND Xposed should be systemless. I know that AdAway can also be systemless, but I have to figure out everything beucase I just charged and turn on the phone
Download Xposed for Material Design... I had the same issue with the "framework not found" error.

Yeah I've downloaded the latest. Now I have an Xposed is installed but not active error :-/
The last version (85.6) doesn't work that well. It's better to install version 85.5 which works fine.
Hello everyone
Recently due to Niantic's decision to prohibit root users of playing Pokémon Go I decided to give a try to Magisk. I followed every step and even flashed my ROM again.
But when trying phh's root it wont work. Rootchecker says root was not correctly installed and trying to use any root app won't make Superuser show any prompt for root permissions.
Thank you so much for the help guys.

What is your ROOT Method, That makes a difference since there might be a conflict in ROM (Preinstalled mods or apps), also, What ROM is it?

I flash Magisk v6 and phh's on TWRP. On the other hand I use the stock ROM MM 6.0.1 build 32.2.A.0.253
Apparently Magisk doesn't work properly on Sony devices. See topjohnwu's OP in the Magisk thread.
It partially works for me with some apps like Adaway and TiBU requesting for permissions and working properly but with most other apps not requesting root.

I don't know how I could have missed that... Thanks a lot for that. I hope it gets a fix soon enough tho.
I flashed TWRP on my ZE551ML (Z00A-WW-2.20.40.198) and wanted to root a clean stock rom. I have successfully done so before on the same device by installing "BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247.zip" downloaded from the official Chainfire site. I thought it would be better to have the newest version, so this time I tried to install "SR1-SuperSU-v2.79-SR1-20161221223537" from the same source. However, after installing that file, the phone stayed in a bootloop for around 10 minutes.
1. Is it normal for it to take that long, or does that mean that the second file is incompatible with my phone?
2. Did I chose the wrong file, and should I have tried to install "BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247.zip"?
3. Which zip should I install?
I have uninstalled again, and my phone boots. What I am asking about here is which file to install.

Use the zip that worked before , you might have to update ...binaries after ..is all
Why you don't update to M is beyond me , the N lineage ROM is back on track by dev jrior too

I've tried M already, but my favorite Xposed modules didn't work.
Is Xposed working on N?

Root is working beautifully on L, I've already installed the same SuperSU. Xposed modules are really important to me. One of my favorite modules, NetworkSpeedIndicator, didn't work for me on M. So I'm sticking with L for now. If I can get all my Xposed modules to work on M or N then I will happily upgrade
