:: IMPORTANT WARNINGS

• If you want to flash SuperSU, you MUST use at least version 2.72, which has support for ChromeOS boot images. Under no circumstances flash any version of SuperSU below 2.72!

• Do not set the min CPU frequency below 204 MHz in Kernel Adiutor, etc. This will most likely not work properly and lead to unintended sideeffects like video/audio tearing up in playback and possibly random reboots. Before reporting any issues make sure you did not set the min CPU freq below 204 MHz

Holy crap this is awesome. Thanks! Where is the option to donate? You are single-handedly handling getting us root. Thats huge!

I am unencrypted and have flashed the boot.img multiple times but SuperSU isn't installed. I tried installing it manually and it says no binary installed.

Might be that you need the right SuperSU app installed. The su binaries, etc, are in the boot image, but whatever app you're using isn't looking in the right place. Maybe if you try indeed reflashing 2.66 in TWRP, SuperSU might detect that the kernel is already patched and just install the necessary app (I will test it all over after wiping my Pixel C clean).

That fixed it. If anyone else is having this issue flash this in TWRP: Removed

Uninstalling any app causes android to crash

Edit: Seriously don't do this

Uninstalling any app causes android to crash

You get force closes after uninstalling an app or trying to uninstall an app? Does it actually finish and only has that slight hiccup or does it further hamper things after uninstalling an app?

Boot into TWRP and wipe the cache (seriously this time!). That fixes it.

It crashes before it starts. I've tried the stock way and through Titanium Backup.

I'll try it again, getting tired of hearing that beep on the 30 second lockout screen

Edit: No dice still crashes

That fixed it for me, I'll take another look. (Yeah that 30 second boot lockout is very annoying.)

EDIT: It must have been a coincidence. I wiped the cache, and right after that I could uninstall apps. Now it's broken again, and wiping cache does NOT fix it. I'm looking into it.

I'm not sure TWRP is actually wiping cache properly. If I clear cache and dalvik cache it runs way too fast and I don't get the "Upgrading apps...." when booting.

I just wiped Dalvik/ART cache as well, rebooted, and am having the "Upgrading" screen... strange.

i'm not seeing the crash from uninstalling. but i do have a question, do you also get the crash when accessing the securities setting, settings/security? a suggestion would be to do storage & usb/cached data wipe. also, try using play store to uninstall and see what result is

There is an issue with the keystore service and TLK (nvidia's hardware security stuff). So far no luck, looked into it for the past hour or so but to no avail yet. I'm staying on it.

Still crashes using play store

i think there may be a work around for this if in fact what i'm gonna suggest has anything to do with it but in this post
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64535045&postcount=68
superchilpil gives a link for a modified vendor image that resolved the settings/security crash. that was happening
in another modified boot image thread. anyway i am using it now.
as i said before, i'm not seeing the uninstall crashes. i'm not going to say it is a workaround because i do not know for
a fact, but, it is the only thing i can think may be different between what my setup is and what others may be.

Mine is not telling my this for all fastboot commands

For some reason my bootloader version is Google_Smaug.7132.239.0 and it won't let me update using fastboot

Just used getvar and for some reason secure is set to yes

I'm having the same problem after flashing SuperSU 2.66. I think "secure: yes" just means that secure boot is enabled/possible, but I'm not entirely sure there.

EDIT:

"fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability" returns '1', so it means the bootloader can be unlocked (??)

There's still the option to run "fastboot flashing unlock_critical", but I'm a bit wary of that right now.
