Hi Guys,
My company uses Good For Enterprise for email, which requires a phone to not be rooted. Well I was using Xposed and Rootcloak to hide root, but it appears an update patched that exploit. So I flashed the SBF for 4.4.2 and have Good running. Well I wanted to be able to use TWRP to go back to my rooted backups, but once I push TWRP to my device, my STOCK unrooted fresh SBF'ed received a "SuperSU Installer" in my apps and also a persistent notification wanting me to install SuperSU through Google Play or TWRP. Good then failed the Root check and locked me out. So I thought I could push the stock recovery back and it would go away, but nope, no dice. Any ideas? FWIW I'm running a DE Moto X from Verizon, unlocked bootloader on 4.4.2 system and bootloader.

Seems you did everything right BUT when TWRP ask if you wanna install root or superuser.. forget which it says. Just say no. Then you should be root free. Hope that helps!

Thanks, but when I was in TWRP recovery it did ask me to root, and I said no; but it still had the "SuperSU Installer" in the app drawer, and couldn't be removed.

hmm, well if you say you came from stock, flashed TWRP and SU installed itself. than maybe just removing root would work. There's a guide for that, probably in the general thread. also, I read that there is a way to load multiple ROMs that's stickied in one of the threads. That could be exactly what you need!!
Don't remember which thread so you have to find it.
Hey guys! So I read around about rooting Android 6.0.1 and I only see systemless root. I am rooted right now using systemless root and it works fine, but my question is, is there a way to root 6.0.1 with traditional system root? Or is systemless the only way? Just curious really. Will systemless most likely be the future of rooting and the way it's going to have to be done from now on to keep Android Pay working?

I don't know of anyone who's made the kernel mods required for traditional root. I'd say that systemless root is probably going to be the only way to root from now on at least on nexus devices. Chainfire outlines things that don't work with systemless root on the supersu forums.

Thanks for the response! And I wonder if it will be what it is for now! It's the only way to keep Android Pay working while the device is rooted correct? Android Pay refuses to work with a traditionally rooted device?

I did. I still use SU2.52. But only until this weekend. I'm switching to systemless too.
Actually building a permissive kernel is really straightforward, needs one line of code added. The build is about five minuters then with abootimg you can just replace the existing with the newly buil kernel in the boot.img, and flash it.
I can give you details if you're interested.
Hi
I have a serious problem with ES File Explorer. This app (and maybe other Apps) says device isn't root, since I cant use ES in root explorer mode.
I heard Titanium Backup has the same issue with this future root!
now I back to 6.0 and waiting for a solution.

How? I pass this steps to install and root 6.0.1:
First of all, I have a clean install of 6.0.1
then flash TWRP
In TWRP, install SuperSU 2.61 that flash a custom boot.img automatically. after dalvik/cash wipe, reboot to OS
After that, reboot to recovery again and flash a custom kernel
but supersu doesn't work and ES file explorer says device doesn't have root permission.
however, I need read/write permission in /system folder to delete some useless apks

I tested 2.61, is problem fixed in 2.62.3? because I must flash 6.0.1 and setup phone again!
i rooted the old fashioned way, there's no difference except you also have to flash a custom kernel when flashing supersu.

Sorry,
I have a Nexus 6 with 6.0.
I am trying to find how to update to 6.0.1 with no-enforced-encryption and then do a systemless rooting but I cannot find the instructions to do this
Seems that just flashing stock, TWRP and the flashing supersu 2.61 from there is enough to have systemless root, right?
but what about no-force-encrypt?
Probably I am changing the discussion but have not found a good thread, apologies.
Thanks in advance.

What you probably wanna do is go for a custom kernel that doesn't force encryption. Most if not all don't force it! Elementalx is a good one, maybe elite kernel, and so many others! I use ElementalX on mine, my favorite kernel. www.elementalx.org if you wanna try that one! Others are found here on XDA!
EDIT: Looks like elementalx says to use SuperSU 2.61 or later, which is systemless, I would try another. Maybe elite or another one.

Thanks !!! I will check them, I always have tried to be as close to stock as possible but I think it is time to try something new.
One question: Do Custom Kernels interfere with OTA updates?, this is one of the advertised advantages of systemless rooting and is one of my favorites.
Thanks again

I would say yes, I'm 90% sure but could be wrong. I would flash the a new update with fastboot.

Any mod stops ota's. Root, kernels....You will have to flash full images to get updates. You can skip the userdata part and save your apps and data. But you will have to flash.
Not a big deal, it an extra couple of commands just like the kernel you want to flash.
Thanks!

Clean 6.0.1 followed by systemless root installation as expained in the Root done right thread.
Hi, I recently rooted my Z3c using KingRoot. I ten installed custom Rom: SLiM ROM 4.9. Works great, but now I found out Kingroot is very untrustworthy. How do I remove/replace kingroot without loosing root?
I rooted as per these instructions:
whattechsays.com/root-xperia-z2-z3-lollipop
So I have SuperSU installed, but KingRoot does not appear in apps list - so no option to uninstall. I can see kingroot folder in internal memory. Is deleting this sufficient to remove kingroot and any potential back-door?
I am new to rooting, so please explain simply if you can.
Many thanks.
Better remove Kingroot, and unroot all at once. You have Slimrom installed so I'm assuming your bootloader is unlocked so simply flash SuperSu Zip via recovery to get back root.
Kingroot is unreliable and shady when it comes to rooting devices in fact its not even endorsed here in Xda

I already have SuperSU installed already. And when I run rootcheck it says SuperSU has root. I have ' uninstalled' Kingroot, however kingroot folder/files remain on internal memory and I assume it could still be active and hiding it's process?

Came across this thread from Google, but since it doesn't look like you really got an answer, here goes.
When you flashed Slim ROM, you would have replaced the system partition where Kingroot was installed, meaning it is no longer there at all.
The files left on the internal memory would have been written by Kingroot before and can just be deleted.

Oh dear, another Kingroot user stuck, how many warnings about Kingroot need to be posted on the threads before people listen.
Personally, knowing about what Kingroot does and the information it sends to China, I would wipe my phone and start from scratch.
There is a good guide written by bilboa1, which is very easy to follow.
Frenik is right, if you flash a rom, then the system should get wiped also. Just make sure you wipe data as well as dalvik/cache then you might end up with a Slim rom with SuperSU.

I used the version 2.4 and worked like a charm
Although as above... even though i have stepped on the same rake as you... don't use KingsRoot... there probably is a fake copy of my phone somewhere in china thanks to that...

Hi fellas. I write ehre in order to not open a new thread. I recently bought one of this little beasts. I'm running 23.4.A.1.264 (stock in phone), Android 5.1.1. I've succesfully rooted it with king root 4.9.5. I've tried to change it to Supersu without success. I've tried supersu me, the script to remove kingroot to supersu from ver 1.8 to 2.4 and always lose root permissions. Could someone tell me what the f*** I am doing wrong?
Hi there fellows ! ^^
First of all, I want you all to know that I really am sorry if this is something that has been asked before. I tried, but couldn't find an answer by myself and I don't want to damage my phone again (I may have been waaaaay too hasty in the past...). So here goes.
I have a Honor 5C NEM-L51 (European variant) which I rooted a while ago (two or three months ago maybe ? Can't remember for sure) by unlocking the bootloader, installing TWRP from ADB, flashing the SuperSU zip file... You know, the usual thing. After that I went ahead and installed Xposed Framework, Busybox and several applications and modules which needed root like many of you I guess. Everything went fine. And still is, for the record.
Now I realize that I may have been living under a rock because I discovered very recently that not only SuperSU can be downloaded from the Play Store but also that there is Magisk, an open-source alternative with more functionnalities. Guess what ? I want it.
Soooo I did some research and read this https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 along with other articles here and there on the web and it seems that I'd just have to install some Magisk Manager app' from the Play Store... Is that really all there is to do ?!
I'm worried because it says "If you're already rooted with MagiskSU or Latest Official Systemless SuperSU". Yep, the "Systemless" part get me worried. While I do understand what it means, I can't help but wonder : since I installed SuperSU from a flashable zip file, is it Systemless ? How can I tell ?
Plus the whole thing is kinda confusing to me. If I do that, will Magisk remove SuperSU ? But if so, won't there be a problem with Xposed and other apps that need root ? Same question applies if I first manually remove SuperSU (assuming I can actually do that) before installing anything else.
In short, how should I proceed ? Do I have to remove anything ? Can I do anything ?
Again, sorry if things had been told already. I really want to take my shot, but I don't wanna soft brick my device again by being too carefree one more time.
Thank you for your time and your help.
When super su is installed magisk will make it automatically systemless. But it can't guarantee that it can always hide it. If super su isn't installed /you are unrooted then magisk will install and use magisk su.
Also since you mentioned them: soft bricks can be resolved by just reflashing your Rom, no need to wipe (lose your data) in most cases

Thank you for your answer. Can I uninstall SuperSU to install Magisk su instead then ? Do I need to remove Xposed module and my root apps too ?

Yeah, I do know that, but I really do need my phone at the moment, so I'd kinda be in a world of pain if I brick it.
You can Uninstall super su if you want but it isn't a must if you don't care magisk su. I would remove xposed before installing magisk and after having installed magisk you can install the systemless version. As for your apps that use root, you don't need do deinstall them

Sorry for the late reply.
I do want to use Magisksu instead of SuperSU. So basically, what I have to do is :
1 - Uninstall Xposed by flashing the uninstaller from TWRP
2 - Uninstall SuperSu (by the app menu ? Is it enough to remove root ?
3 - Install Magisk from the store
4 - Install systemless Xposed from the store
And I'll be all set, correct ? Nothing should go wrong ?

I'll add a couple of points to your list:
2.5 - Make sure to restore the stock boot image.
3.5 - Flash magisk.zip in recovery. You can't install through the Manager if not rooted.
If you want to use Magisk Hide to pass SafetyNet you'll have to disable Xposed. Magisk can't hide it, even if it's systemless.

Well, all I can find with Huawei Firmware Finder seems to be full or OTA ROM updates. I can't download the boot image only.
However, within the SuperSU app settings, there are two options : one to change superuser app and a second one to completely remove root. By any chance, does one of these options clear the boot image by itself ?

It can be a bit of a bother getting the boot image from inside a Huawei factory image...
SuperSU can restore your boot image when you do the full unroot. That was actually what I was referring to with my 2.5.

Hi all,
Yesterday I've unlocked my Oneplus 3T bootloader and installed TWRP.
After that I flashed Lineage 14.1, Open Gapps, addonsu-14.1-arm64-signed.zip and finally Magisk. Reboot and install SuperSu.
But I'm wondering if I still need to flash the Lineage addonsu and SuperSu.

What are you doing mixing all those root solutions? Pick one... If you want Magisk, you do not need the other two.

Thanks. I probably missed something when reading the threads. I understood Magisk can root my devices, but didn't understood that simply installing it would root my device. So that's why I was flashing su binary and using SuperSU app.
Thanks a lot.
First of all I'm sorry for answering this post so late but I needed to do it.
Well, according to all I've seen about magisk, and obviously with this post, everything I must do to use magisk is:
1. Unlock Bootloader
2. Flash Official Stock ROM
3. Flash Magisk.zip
4. Install Magisk Manager
Is it all? Really? Shouldn't I do anything else, because I'm too worried about it. I've ever used SuperSU until now, and this things of MagiskSU, Magisk Manager and Magisk Hide option are really new for me.
If someone could answer me, including the owner of this post it'd be VERY APPRECIATED and I would thank you all a lot!
Thanks haha

It's not quite apparent from your post if you have rooted with SuperSU already and now want to use Magisk instead. But, considering that you're posting in a thread that deals with moving from SuperSU I'm gonna go with that... Kind of...
You will need an unlocked bootloader, yes.
If you've rooted with SuperSU you can reflash your ROM, or use something like @osm0sis unSU zip and then flash the stock boot image only. Depends on your setup which option is easier. If you're not already rooted, this step is unnecessary.
Installing Magisk is just as easy as that, yes.
The Manager is also installed when flashing the Magisk zip, so this step is unnecessary. However... In rare cases the Manager doesn't install with the zip. If that happens you just have to install it manually.
The only step I'd like to add is to have a backup of all important data and files on your device. That's always good practice when tinkering with your device...
The release thread and the installation/troubleshooting thread (I'm hoping to have time to update it for Magisk v15.2 tonight) are good resources when setting everything up and if you encounter issues. Searching through the general support thread is also a good idea if issues arise. Most questions have been answered numerous times already.
I'm new to Magisk but have a couple of questions. I have a pixel XL running Dirty UNICORNS rooted with SuperSU. If I want to use Magisk can I just flash my dirty UNICORNS rom, gapps and then the magisk.zip?

No. You merely need to uninstall SuperSU, either through the SuperSU app (complete uninstall) or by using the unSU zip. You'll also have to make sure that you restore the stock unpatched boot image.
After that you can flash Magisk and you'll be good to go.
I used CF Auto Root a while back to root my Nexus 6 (months ago). It did the trick getting the bootloader unlocked and rooting the phone. I then proceeded to install TWRP and then installed Pure Nexus. From then to know the phone has been a joy to use. This ROM is fantastic.
Recently I decided to look into custom Kernels, Elementalx is the one I have been reading up on. I installed the kernel, and then purchase the EX Kernel Manager. Using the app I realized that the phone wasn't rooted, or so it told me. I test this with the Root Checker Basic App and it confirmed that the phone was not rooted.
I am not sure what happened but what I wanted to do was run the SuperSU zip via TWRP again, but wanted to ask you guys if this would be an issue. I can't see why it would but it Rooth had already been achived and then it was gone so..... I just wanted to ask in case.
Sorry that this was a little long winded. Thanks in advance.
Magisk and SuperSU achieve root without modifying the system partition through patching of the kernel's ramdisk (?). When you installed the new kernel it installed an unpatched copy. This is why you lost root.
Download SuperSU from the XDA thread and flash it in TWRP to restore root.
