Hi, I have a rooted nexus 7 and wanted to run multiple ROMs using Multirom and have and use root access on each of them. I cant figure out a way to do this and would like a little help. My Nexus 7 is running Android 4.4.4 and fully rooted on stock kernel and ROM at the moment. If anyone knows how to enable root on multiple ROMs please help me and let me know how. Thanks!

1. Download MultiROM Manager From The Play Store
2. Download the files required. Install Them. (This will install The TWRP recovery)
3. Download A Rom.
4. Reboot Into Recovery Mode->Advanced->MultiROM->Add New Rom
A Delailed Guide Is Available. Just Google "Multirom Nexus 7 XDA"

Thank you for your quick response, I already have MultiROM installed but want root access on the other ROMs. Whenever I boot the other ROMs now most Google applications crash instantly and I can't open them without them crashing again. When I open SuperSU it says that Android versions after 4.3 need to re-root to update binary. How would I update the binary and prevent Google Applications from crashing when opened?

Need more info:
Which ROM?
Which GAPPS?
How did you install them?
Don't Say Thanks.

Most custom Roms are already rooted. Crashes are not normal. Are you using a patched kernel? Are you choosing to share kernel? Like previous poster said, you need to give more info. You're missing something.
My ROM is just a stock ROM. I am using MultiROM and SuperSU to manage ROMs and root access. Here is a screenshot of my main ROM which is the same one as the secondary. Also, I provided screenshots of SuperSU recognizing MultiROM which I granted access to. I don't see a reason for not having root access on both but I am new to rooting and may have overlooked something. I installed the ROMs and rooted using Nexus Root Toolkit. Let me know if you need more information I would be happy to share.
Why not flash a pre rooted ROM for secondary? And ROM management should be handled in twrp. In twrp select advanced then multirom. You can flash zips for secondary rom there.
I used TWRP to install my secondary ROM. What pre-rooted ROM's would you recommend? I'm looking for some new ROMs to run and I don't know where to start.

I use PAC ROM for my secondary ROM. I keep rooted stock as my primary, but I plan to swap them soon once I get it set up right.
Cm does not work right in MultiROM for me. Paranoid Android, PAC, Slimroms, etc should be good.

I'm a little lost on Root for the Pixel XL. I am currently running unlocked with Screw'd ROM - 3.1.2-****ery-20170712-1454. This is a BETA, but has been running really smooth for the last 2 days.
Security Patch Level - July 5, 2017
Vendor - NJH47D
Last time I tried to apply root while running PureNexus the phone continued to boot loop and I had to eventually flashall.bat and start over.
1. What version of SuperSU should I be flashing? The latest and newest or is there other versions that work better?
2. What are the correct steps? Is wipe cache/dalvik necessary before? Do I need to install anything on the phone beforehand?
Boot to TWRP, Flash SuperSU, Reboot? Easy as that?
I see this version being talked about a lot - SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR320170114223742.zip, but it isn't the latest available that I can see. The SuperSU thread states to install the latest version and using google brings me to many versions of SuperSU.
Lastly, after rooting will apps like SnapChat work? If not how to you bypass this?
So I just found some information after searching more. Some of it is dated. I currently have twrp-pixel-installer-marlin-3.1.0-0RC2.zip version for TWRP installed.
Is RC1 needed for root, and with what SuperSU version. Or which combination of RC2 and SuperSU work together?

When I was rooted I initially was using RC1, I think my supersu was V2.8? And no Snapchat, Pokemon go, and Android pay, etc, will not work. So a little work around for Snapchat, you need to log in first then flash supersu, or just go with magisk and enable magisk hide to make life easier.

Yeah I found the guide. It seems I need to flash stock image first before. So Magisk gives you the ability to root first, then download apps such as snapchat and still login if you use magisk hide?

Correct, downloading isn't a problem, but it'll just prevent you from logging in since supersu, trips safetynet

I read through this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-stock-7-1-2-root-safetynet-ok-t3617347
Seems pretty straightforward, however currently I have a ROM installed I'm really liking. To do this I would have to flash back to stock image, then go through the root process. My question would be after rooting, if I went to flash Screw'd again, doesn't it wipe everything and I would lose root again, then just have to flash it after the ROM?

Myself I've never been on screwd before, I would assume so, but in my experience the pixel XL is more complicated than my previous phones
If you just want root you shouldn't need to flash the stock image again. You would need to do that if you wanted to flash a custom kernel but not for root. You need to download the modified version of Magisk for the Pixel XL. The official version doesn't work on the Pixels. I'm not currently rooted as I went back to stock but I was using Magisk. At that time the latest version wasn't stable but it might be fixed now. You need to boot into fastboot TWRP, flash the Magisk zip, flash the TWRP zip and then boot up. After you are booted up you install the Magisk Manager app. The tricky thing is installing the right version of Magisk Manager that works properly with the unofficial build of Magisk that you are using. You can get more information in the Resurrection Remix rom thread which for some reason is the official place where the modified version of Magisk is hosted if you can't find good info about which combination of unofficial Magisk and Magisk Manager you should be using. Also when I used Magisk you needed to enable core only mode for it to pass Safety Net but that may no longer be the case. You should be able to find the most up to date info either in the thread you cited or the RR rom thread. Just remember that official builds of Magisk do not work on the Pixel. You need to stick with one of the unofficial builds.

I think I got which versions of magisk and magisk manager I need to use from the other thread I had posted earlier. This helps to clear some things up for me though. I have both the .apk and the zip on my phone now. Getting a bit of a charge and I guess I'll go ahead and try it.
It worked, I'm officially rooted .Thanks for the help!

Cool.
i tried to install SuperSu, including the sr5 version, and get caught in the google logo, plus ss will no longer be updated. after unlocking the bootloader, installing twrp are there any tips on installing magisk? i am also unsure on what flashing the "stock rom" is about. is that the oem, custom rom or either. i am mostly looking for the su function but root would be ok to. thanks

Your best bet would be to do some more reading "new one".... While your misunderstanding of the relation between root and su have me thinking that you are not ready to root yet. On a serious note, Magisk is a excellent alternative for SuperSu. Head over to the Magisk forums and read up for more info.
being a user not developer, i have no intention to modify software code, there for i do not require root. su is useful to run certain apps, like twrp manager to grant permissions. i like the linux sudo command better on my pc, but that is just one operators opinion and my not even be feasible on google firmware. i got into this with a nex 4 wanting to get onboard with ubuntu phone to ditch all the commercial and media bloat. since i had the nex 4 as a development phone why not try a custom rom and update to 7.1? after a few go rounds i got 14.1 installed. my adventures with the nex 5x and 6p and SuperSU both lead to a bricked phone, which i learned to get operational. basically nothing ventured nothing gained.
su is the command used to gain root access. If you've installed either SuperSU or Magisk you have rooted your device.
The current Magisk works well on the current Oreo image for the Nexus 5X. The bonus is that you can use apps that refuse to work if they think the device is rooted.

For me, stock 8.1, sr5 works. Stock rom is oem, but it doesn't have to be the whole oem, you can have a stock rom and twrp, so basically system and the kernel remain stock but recovery can be something other than stock, and so on...

I have a OnePlus 5T locked and unrooted phone having OxygenOS 5.1.7 installed. I am new to rooting and related kinds of stuff. Can someone help me to give some instructions to install Magisk in my device? I know the below steps, but at the same time, I am having some questions in my mind.
1. Unlock bootloader - I saw some commands here to unlock bootloader - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74504347&postcount=4 - looks like these are outdated, last updated on Dec 2017. Are those work today also?
2. Install TWRP recovery - I heard that, OxygenOS 5.1.7 is having Project Treble supported. Can I use the same TWRP recovery mentioned in the above link?
3. Root using Magisk or SuperSU. What is the difference? What is systemless root? Anyway, I need to install Magisk Manager finally - Please suggest a way.
4. And the last one, How do I unroot my device if something goes wrong? Or is that possible?
5. I don't want to install any custom ROMs, I am fine with OOS.

1. Yes the unlock commands remain the same till date.
2. Use the latest bluspark twrp which has the treble support, link mentioned is fine and if you need the direct link, its here
3. Use the latest Magisk as SU is a dead project now.
4. Whenever you want to unroot just dirty remove/uninstall all the mods, dirty flash the latest stock rom > Factory reset in recovery and lock the bootloader. I did a post here for the 6T and it should work the same way on 5T.
5. You can stay rooted on OOS no need of custom roms any more :good:
Let me know if you want to know anything else, Thanks.

1. Yes, but your phone will download the whole firmware at each update instead of the ota.
2. Yes
3. Yep you can.
4. Yes of course, but some apps will detect root. So you will have to use Magisk Hide (inside the Magisk Manager) to hide root from these apps.
Note : I didn't use OOS anymore but it seems to me that OOS overwrites root everytime you update, so keep in mind that you will have to reflash it everytime

1- Yes, but you will recieve full sized zip (1.5+)GB automatically in rooted OOS. Incremental small sized ota won't work in case of root, and don't bother with it.
The downside of updating full whole zip is that you will loose root & twrp recovery after the update. So keep in mind, you will re-install both of them later.
2- I haven't tried beta, but i am sure yes
3- any switch between those requires clean flash in TWRP (wiping dalvik cache, cache, data, vendor and system). So, make sure to have backup in safe place.
4- yes, as long as you passed the safety net in Magisk. Magisk has a feature to hide root on certain apps of your choice, so you can use banking apps later
All my magisk installed whether in oos stable or custom roms, passed the safety net out of the box. So I haven't faced issues there.
my samsung a52s got its latest update recently and now i also see that we have got official twrp recovery so i wanted to install it and if i am installing it then i also wanted to install root on my phone...is it a good option....i also wanted opinion on where i can find custom roms for samsund a 52s

Unlock bootloader, flash twrp to recovery partition and flash Magisk file in recovery.
