Worked fine, maybe I misread it or maybe you left out sticking superuser.apk in the adb/fastboot folder? Anywhoo I got root on 6.3 with this method, thanks

No, I assume people setup their paths correctly during adb installation, negating the need for that.

Actually, this is the first time they have implemented something like this, its a separate service that checks for root, they run it at boot.

Perhaps a stupid question, but where do I get the "Superuser.apk" used at the end of the instructions under 'adb install Superuser.apk'? Because It wasn't one of the files listed under needed files section. Thanks

It's in the OP, just abbreviated as "su."

the su command and the superuser.apk are different things
the superuser.apk is a wrapper to su command
