I just updated my phone from 6.0 to 6.1. I had it rooted before with SU and TWRP installed. After installing 6.0.1 it works great. I then installed the latest TWRP as well, and that worked fine. However once I install the latest SU binary and attempt to boot into the phone, I get nothing but a black screen.
I can boot back into the bootloader with the power button + volume down to flash system, and then the phone will boot again. But as soon as I put SU back on there, I see nothing but the black screen. Also, after updating to 6.0.1 I started getting the "This device can't be trusted" screen when turning on the phone. It still boots after that, but it wasn't happening before.
Any ideas besides wiping and starting from scratch?
Is that SuperSU 2.62? Just asking because you haven't said. I haven't bothered rooting my N6 this time, since my only real need was a firewall and Netguard does the job perfectly, but I understand from general reading that Marshmallow is choosy about the SuperSU version.

Safestrap "Installed" correctly, but upon rebooting there is no splash screen
Hey everyone. I'm at a fairly novice level when it comes to this flashing rom stuff, and this is my first time dealing with a locked bootloader. I installed Odin, reverted my phone to 4.4.2, downloaded towelroot, supersu, busybox, and safestrap, and everything went swimmingly. I rooted successfully, got the superuser app working, installed busybox, but when I install safestrap, everything 'works' according to the app itself, but there is nothing different at all upon booting. (only once did the 'custom' unlock thing show up but never again). I've done all manners of uninstalling, reinstalling, deleting, rebooting.. nothing changes. What can I do?
(slightly off topic - what's the smoothest + best battery life rom out there? I was gonna install firekat before all this mess stopped me.)
Thanks in advance guys.
Hi Guys,
I recently flashed to OOS 4.0.1, I wiped the phone with fastboot -w and followed instructions on here to flash the full ROM file, anyway so that went fine, by the end of that I had a functional, rooted phone on OOS 4.0.1,
But then I went to download Snapchat, everytime I tried to log in, it says it had temporarily failed, so I went through some troubleshooting steps and decided to wipe my phone, re install OOS 4.0.1 without root, and try again, that has worked, my friend said he had the same issue and that he had to root after installing and logging into Snapchat, so I have gone to root again, sideloaded fine in TWRP recovery like i have done in the past, but now my phone is stuck on the OnePlus logo where you have the red dot with two spinning white dots going round, been like this for 10 minutes now, I know the boot can take longer but it has never taken this long, I've got it plugged and will just wait for an answer as this is doing my head in!!
Cheers guys,

I've run into the same problem, how did you end up fixing it?
This is odd? My suggestion would be to just flash stock 4.0.1 again or w/e it is and then install Magisk from the app store and install the root from there. That should do the trick .
Installing TWRP was one of the first things I did when I got this Lenovo phone.
It worked like a charm, I pressed the Volume Keys and the Power button simultaneously and voila! TWRP opened. I was planning to install a custom ROM, so I decided to backup my device, just in case something goes completely wrong. I backed it up, then tried to move the backup from the /data partition. That went kinda wrong and for some weird reason TWRP didn't do anything but show this loading bar on the bottom of my screen.
Since TWRP was being unresponsive, I decided to remove the battery from my phone.
When I tried to access TWRP again, to my surprise, it was gone. The stock recovery appeared instead. I tried reflashing TWRP using both SFP and ADB/Fastboot, and even though the transfer was successful, the Lenovo recovery was still there. I booted to Android and saw that the "OEM Unlocking" option was disabled, even though I had enabled it. I re-enabled it, tried all the things I mentioned before and I got the same result. I opened up Android and.. OEM Unlocking got disabled.. Again.
I enabled it, yet again, tried going to fastboot, where I tried unlocking the bootloader. FAILED! I also tried side loading SuperSU.zip. FAILED!
As a last resort, I used Kingoroot to root my device, and to my surprise it worked.
I still can't seem to be able to flash CWM/TWRP, though, and I would like to install Xposed. SuperSU is also a necessity for me.
TL;DR I can't flash a custom recovery even though I could, Kingoroot worked for me, I need to get SupeSU, Xposed and a custom recovery. Side loading/Flashing using ADB isn't working, OEM unlocking gets disabled every time I reboot my device.
Now that you are rooted, i would suggest you to try 'flashify' and check if you can get your twrp working again. I still doubt it would, since you said you werent able to get it installed through fastboot before, but first give it a try.
When you confirm it working just flash the supersu zip using whichever method you like.
I am currently stuck for 45+ minutes at the google reboot splashscreen (4 colorful spinning dots that eventually should turn into the word android once reboot is complete).
I followed an update procedure that I have used many times (last done November 16), although some of the files involved are somewhat old.
Starting from November 16 update for Marshmallow:
1 - Fastboot-Flashed that March 2017 factory image for Marshmallow (yes, there is still a Marshmallow... I dont' want Nougat yet). Flashed all partitions except data and recovery.
2 - Reboot directly into TWRP (I believe it is TWRP 3.0.2... I haven'te changed it recently)
3 - In TWRP: Flash superuser BETA-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550 i
4 - In TWRP: Clear space from app/system by deleting foreign language directories (to make room for xposed)
5 - IN TWRP: Flash xposed xposed-v79-sdk23-arm
6 - In TWRP - initiate reboot to system.
7 - As system rebooted, I entered my PIN.
That's where I am now. Note I never saw a screen for "optimizing apps" that was expected. I
Note I never rebooted to android system, so I'm not sure which step caused the problem (it was a method I developed to update quicker although in retrospect rebooting each step to check would be smarter).
I have some ideas of what to do eventually: (retry my flash one step at a time)
BUT, I don't know how to do anything with a phone that is stuck on the splashscreen:
* It does not respond to key combination on/volume-down (which normally goes to fastboot)
* When plugged into pc, it does not respond to fastboot devices
* There is no battery pull option on this phone.
What to do next to get control of my phone... let the battery run out on the splash screen?
Hmmm. Weird. Just held power-on and vol-down and it took me briefly to a different screen (android?) and then promprted for PIN, then back to splashscreen.
I kept pressing that combo and eventually did get into fastboot.
Now I'll flash again.

Hello. Not sure what caused your problem. Also, i don't use Xposed...
Just a heads up... Your SuperSU is really really old. Just use this one:
https://download.chainfire.eu/1021/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip
Good luck...
The version of SuperSU he used likely was the cause of the bootloop.

I reflashed the system and then flashed newer files:
SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip
xposed-v87-sdk23-arm
(with a reboot between flashing SU and flashing xposed).
Everything booted up fine.
Problem solved.
Thanks for the help!
Aren't you supposed to fastboot boot, not flash the su with marshmallow?
I have the dual sim Exynos version, model number SM-N950F/DS.
I followed this guide 100% as said:

Root is not properly working. Unsure why. I rooted using Magisk. When checking the app, it has ticked both latest and installed version V16.4. When checking safety net option, both are ticked.
Adaway even after rebooting says ''rooted Android required'' . Root explorer not working also. The only thing I got working and only after rebooting it worked was Titanium backup. After rebooting I was prompted to give root access which obviously I did and it works fine.
However, other apps requiring root access do not prompt me to grant it root access and immediately says ''no root'' .
Any suggestions? Thanks.
Ps. I keep getting this annoying notificaiton on the taskbar saying ''Security notice. Unauthorised actions have been detected. Restart.'' . How do I get rid of this notification? I restarted twice yet it keeps popping up.
And now for no apparent reason I am stuck on the Samsung logo, phone is not booting up. The top left blue LED is flashing but the phone is not booting. Please help.
^ I managed to fix my device, like always I was running an older version of TWRP!! Happens every time with every phone regardless!
From one of the threads, I downloaded the very latest recovery and flashed it via ODIN. Voila! Installed one of the Note 8 roms and perfect. Everything working fine.
Why is it if using a slightly older recovery nothing works? I am unable to even format/wipe, install roms, nothing...
