Su binary

After some days ( and updates) on CM13 my Superuser binary is outdated.
So i flashed the newest SuperSu from chainfire (2.74 i think)
But the message appears again.
The update in the SuperSu APP didn't work, also i can Boot in TWRP in the APP.
Has anybody a solution for this Problem ?
Thank you

Oops, sorry, I misread you already flashed with twrp
Perhaps try another version? (like v2.65)

well : I am also having trouble rooting COS 13 ...
I received a (new) Swift for a friend and when I flash SuperSU v2.46 from recovery, the phone reboots and only shows (forever):
Code:
cyanogen
mod
ready
I tried several custom recoveries (twrp 2.7 and 3.0 and CM-13.0).
To recover I needed to fastboot re flash stock.
Note that I could once root COS 12.1 on another Swift phone for another friend just fine.
So this seems a 13.0 specific issue. Perhaps how SuperSU handles Android 6.
Good news is I can take a TWRP backup. But I would also want to be
able to take Titatium Backup and do other things that require root.
Does this ring a bell?
Thanks for enlightening me how to root COS 13.0

Unfortunately this does not make a difference, system boot stays on cyanogen/mod/ready logo.
I had to recover back to TWRP backup.
Anyone who successfully rooted COS 13.0 please raise a hand ...
update (1)
I tried to hack my way around by putting recent CM 13.0 su binary in mounted system/xbin (+ symbolic link in system/bin) via adb shell TWRP, and now SuperSU starts, but: then finally I end up same situation as Lorddoener : supersu fails to update su (normal and twrp)...
Again: any help / ideas welcome
update (2)
One needs systemless SuperSU... starting from (stable) UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip

Question about ROOT

You have to unlock the bootloader too. Unblocking the bootloader will wipe your device.
As a rule of thumb, I always unlock bootloader on day one of purchasing my devices. (mostly Nexus or OP so far). This way you avoid potentially losing data.

Or u can download systemless xposed which will allow to turn on and off to use Android pay

root (access) is obtained via apps like SuperSU
xposed has nothing to do with root access - it is an additional framework allowing for low level modifications (like amplify, etc)
unlocking bootloader is always the first step, from there you can flash supersu (which is NOT just an APK file).
there's a number of threads about it that can explain it better than i.

Ok thanks you. I see the threads in OP3 xda forum.
One more question : is the warrantly lost after rooting ?

Is anyone using Magisk?

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 got magisk running smoothly. I can share if anyone wants.

Sorry, what's Magisk?

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.

Yes, please, if you don't mind. It's a bit of information overload in the magisk thread. I've been watching it intently as the program has developed. Just haven't pulled the trigger on flashing yet.

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
1.) i am not able to move any app to system, error showing is 'can not remount system'
2.) when i restore any back up it restores till 53% and then stucks in bootloop
3.) i am not able to install any update even if i hide my root. tried flashfire also
and sorry for bad english

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.
Whats your setup, and what process did you use to get Magisk working?

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.

Thanks for the explanation.
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.

Due to the fact in the OP it says your phone has to be rooted before you can use this ROM, no. Most you should normally charge to is 80%.

The same charging bug still is present. I just through this up obviously I can't test this rom on your phone as I have Verizon model. I tested it on my phone but I used US csc codes so I really don't know how it will react on your phone. That being said I may not be able to answer connectivity issues and such. If anyone finds any issues using csc mods zip. You can always just flash the AP file and just use the supersu zip in the op in place of the Add csc root zip. This will give you a totally stock rooted Rom no tweaks or mods

Rooting XA1 Ultra Oreo 8.0?

So I tried to root my XA1 Ultra, but without luck. The bootloader is unlocked and twrp is installed but root? From all the methods the internet gave me I only have one left to try (unless I oversaw something). I use Magisk Manager so my option is to either get the boot.img file for my phone and let it patch or flash the zip thru the recovery which needs a data wipe and I am tired of setting up my phone just to see that nothing happend (I mean I can ignore this point). But I guess that the encryption system (also in twrp) is my enemy.
My question is: Is there a solid way to root my devices? It is stock rom and has Android 8.0 NOT 8.1.
thx

Flashing magisk zip file should not requirer a data whipe.
I have never heard you should whipe data but when you install twrp you need to reformat your device.
