He's trolling for Thanks?^^^ Why oh why are you replying to a 2 year old post. On a Thread about a practically dead app?
One fast question: Up there you said that you were not recommending systemless v2.61 "yet" over v2.52, but that you "would soon". For Android 6.0.1 and maybe next releases, the system option will be completely dumpled out, or both options will be eligible? And for now, can we keep with 2.52 forward until new advice or its not recommended anymore? I am one of those that end up doing a lot more modifications to /system so systemless root doesn't seem any better than normal root, and not worth the hassle.
Thanks for your replies @Chainfire and for your continued work and support. While systemless root is the right longer term move, until we get unionfs/overlayfs I don't think many of us can escape still modifying /system for various reasons. Yes, we can already bind mount by hand various files and directories and manually fix apps that need need to change /system (and even some of them need to be installed as system apps) but this gets annoying quickly at least for Nexus devices that receive the monthly security updates from Google.
I would appreciate it if you could still have an easy way to have a /system based root. I read your post about touching su in /system, would be possible to provide a flashable zip that does just that? Or a version of SuperSU that has the switch set to install in/system? Just looking for an easy way to be able to take the monthly security updates without going the custom ROM or kernel way. Thank you.
I completely agree! I change some system sounds and add the no tether check to the build.prop with every update Although systemless root isn't the best option for me. I do think having both as an option would be great, if not too much to hope for.
+1
I still use 2.52 while upgrading my 5x to 6.0.1 because I don't need android pay and I want to keep the things simple as possible.
For updates instead of flash boot&recovery before each OTA I prefer flash boot&system&radio from factory image (that are out sooner on each update).
So the classic, ever so great method of root has been dethroned then? Just like that? No more system root? Not even a thorough explanation or farewell?
If systemless is the future, fine. I just won't update atm. Apps that install on the system partition are iffy or they require symbolic link or they just don't work. Too much work if you ask me.
I understand this is a transition but i would of at least liked system root support until systemless gets good enough.
With that said, Is there a way to update Nexus 6P to 6.0.1 system root right now?
If I flashed 2.52 system beta on the Nexus 6p but want to switch to 2.61 systemless, do i have to remove 2.52 system prior or will applying 2.61 systemless handle this? If I do need to remove 2.52, how do I do that?
I don't think most people care about being able to receive OTA's. If a new factory image comes out, people usually flash that long before the OTA will hit their device.
Exactly. If you can root you can flash a new build. And what are the chances that OTA updates actually work when you are rooted (systemless) and some app may have modified /system anyway without you realizing? OTA updates are over-rated. Now Android Pay is a different story.
@Chainfire
Is there anything untoward in this recovery.log which is preventing root on the Tab S2 sm-t710?

of course, any modification on /system invalidate Google Pay or OTA, but I think this is irrelevant for most. Ideally we want root and continue to receive and update OTA directly, but even with systemless mode you ca¡n't do it, you have to flash boot anyway.
On a personal side, I prefer/need access and change my system partition, not only to modify the hosts file, but to delete content, add myself and others.
I got everything up and running yesterday on my Nexus 5. All working as expected. I know you backup the stock_boot image file in /data/. I have two backed up stock boot images. I had SuperSU 2.60 first and I have 2.61 currently. Do each of your upgrades create a new stock boot image? and can I delete the old ones?
Good catch. It's dynamic and needs to be static to work universally most likely.
Edit: Hmm it's a recovery command, not an included binary.. so not sure why the linking error. @Chainfire might need to do some of his LD_LIBARY_PATH magic to fix it up or there's something wrong with the recovery build you're using.
Hi, I just flashed Official MMB29K, in my Nexus 5 and SuperSU 2.61 SystemLess, but I have an issue:
ES File Explorer doesn't prompt me for root permissions; if I try to enable "Root Explorer" toogle in the left panel, a message says that the Test failed, bla bla bla.
But other apps have successfully obtained the root permissions.
What the hell?!
