Looks like 5.1.1 is real and the Nexus Player is the first to get it. Factory image has been posted and I assume an OTA will be following shortly.

Flashed and still can't cast to the damn thing without the FPS and motion being crap in the video
Wonder if there are any (significant) fixes for NP. I haven't really got any problems with mine so 5.1.1 doesn't sound very tempting for NP. For N5 on the other hand..
Edit: One problem btw, when casting the whole screen from our Nexus 5's, there sometimes isn't any sound. Reboot of NP workarounds this problem.

Do you have any issues with casting to it from the likes of showbox etc? ive tried so many different versions of apps to cast and they all produce the same issues with the NP that is not on the chromecast
One new change I noticed is they renamed Notifications to "Customize Recommendations" and put a new UI for it under the "Home Screen" settings. It makes since as calling them Notifications was quite confusing.

Actually no, I used to have problems but after 5.1 + some Google Cast Receiver update all my apps that I cast from works fine. I do not use Showbox.

Same experience here. Before the 5.1 + cast receiver update, I couldn't even cast a tab from my chrome browser. Post update, things work great. Kind of scared to do another update....

Hey, I flashed the 5.1.1 factory image and tried Chainfire's root method (booting the root.img through fastboot), but SuperSU won't show up/or get installed. Did you do it the same way or can you take me through the steps?

What I did was after using Chainfire's method, I installed SuperSU from the Play Store. Afterwards I booted with root.img one more time because it wasn't granting superuser and now it works.
I still cant update the binaries tho as this for some reason causes a boot loop. It might just be that I didn't wipe.

I just saw the same thing--can boot with the root.img, but updating binaries stays stuck at the spinning dots. Root does work, however.

In case you still need it I got it working by installing adbd insecure then manually pushing SuperSU.apk to /system/apps and the binary to /system/xbin
Are the folks running rooted 5.1.1 still having issues with Material Design apps that use 3-dots menus on the top taskbar of the app? If running Titanium Backup, can you use the batch function on the top taskbar?

Regarding rooting problems on 5.1.1
I fixed this problem with rooting 5.1.1 last week in my Android Toolkit *HERE*. The problem with SuperSU not showing in the Apps bar is fixed if you adb install the Superuser.apk file that was used to root. If you have already rooted and have installed the Toolkit you can go to section 19 from the Main Menu and select the Superuser fix (option1) to extract the Superuser.apk and adb install it. Android 5.1.1 is also fully supported with download/flash/root available.
I did post in Chainfires support thread to let him know about the 5.1.1 rooting problem but I guess he has been away on a well deserved break.
Mark.
5.1.1 and trying to use http://download.chainfire.eu/631/CF-R
As mentioned I installed SuperSU from the Play Store after booting the root.img. It tries to install but then fails. Upon reboot it stays stuck at the boot animation. Only way out is a fresh restore/re-booting the root.img. Any ideas?

try using an updated superuser and don't use this section of the thread when asking questions..
you should use CWM to flash superSU.
You will need SuperSU instead of SuperUser.

Do those apps require root to work? If they do, you could unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery, and flash supersu from recovery to get root.

I'm not familiar with those apps so that's why I asked.
Maybe they have not been updated to work with Lollipop.

Hello xda.
A few weeks ago I started getting this notification telling me a new system update was available but when I tried to do it, it wouldn't install. I quickly discovered it was because my device was rooted. I followed this guide to get the update (more to get rid of the annoying notification really) ; I made sure do download the right stock image (my device is a XT1541 2 GB) and to flash all the system.img_sparsechunk files (there are 8 in this case) and it went smoothly (booted alright) up until the rooting part.
Basically, I followed RootJunky's video tutorial but after applying the root I can't get past the bootloader's warning screen. The only difference between me and RJ is both TWRP and SU I used are more recent versions (the latest ones).
In the end I just restored the backup I had made "just in case" before the manual update (boy am I glad I made this one) and my phone's back to working order, except not updated.
So here I am : what can I do about it? Is it still possible to root this phone (youtube commentaries indicate I'm not the only one with this issue)? Worst case scenario, is there a way to get rid of the update notification?
Any help is appreciated.
You'll need a systemless root.

How to root ANY Moto G 2015 model on Marshmallow
Thank you both for your answer.
Turns out the method linked didn't work for me. Not only was the root not applied according the supersu app, but I still got an update notification after 'rooting' the phone (even though I checked for update after booting the newly installed rom for the first time and there wasn't any).
I decided to go a different route and used Titanium Backup to freeze the Motorola Update app. Hopefully this will do the trick of sparing me the notifications until I can figure out how to get OTA updates.

No offense, but if you didn't have root then TiBu wouldn't work properly... Obviously the rooting worked.
Rooting itself doesn't prevent updates or there notification, it just keeps it from being applied properly. Freezing the app in TiBu should prevent it though.

Hello guys,
I recently found out my phone doesn't take pictures anymore. The "fotocamera" (the name the default app has on italian settings) app works until I press the "take picture" button and nothing happens. I'm unable to take video too. I also tried Snap Camera and it doesn't work. I tried taking a picture while in watsap and the screen turned green and no picture was saved. I also tried the test camera and with both front and rear camera the picture is green.
I unlocked the phone and rooted it with "XperiFIX". Than I installed Magisk v14.x and kept updating to the latest (v15.2). The phone was working fine and I could take pictures and video with no problem until a couple of weeks ago.
Is there a way to just install the DRM FIX? Do you know how to fix this?
Xperia XZ Premium, G8141, Android 8.0.0, Build 47.1.A.3.254
Thanks for your help
If you look into the installation folder of Xperifix, just get the files from the firmware and flash them in TWRP.

Do I have to uninstall 15.2 before flashing 14.5 or I can directly flash it over 15.2? XperiFix has two oreo folders, "oreo" and "oreo2", can you confirm I need to use the files in the "oreo" folder for 47.1.A.3.254? (the files are probably the same but I prefer asking).
Once flashed 14.5, should I update it or just keep this version?
Thanks to you both
Uninstall root completely, install magisk 14.5.
You can update app for now, but don't update root itself to 15.2 for now. I think it's gonna be fixed in later releases.
Grab it from the latest available rom folder in Xperifix.
No need to flash drmfix or kernel if you already did so.
Hope this helps.

Actually you can just flash it without uninstalling (at least in my experience it works fine).
Also, the latest magisk (15.2) works fine. Just download it from the Magisk forum (also here on XDA).
Good luck!
Reason not to root devices. They become unstable
Hello guys, here I am with some news about my problem.
I downloaded the magisk uninstaller zip and flashed via TWRP, then i installed magisk 14.5. I now am able to take pictures in any app. Problem solved.
Now I have another problem The phone is rebooting unexpectedly two or three times a day, often while watching youtube+3.5+root.apk, a couple of time while in idle. Do you know what I should do to fix this problem now?
Do you also have an idea why my backup always stops at 50% on google and on sd? I'm getting scared of loosing everything and I can't even do a backup!

Hello again, several new updates about my phone situation.
I confirm magisk 15.2 makes my camera unusable. I will wait v15.3 or above before updating to latest version.
I'm now at 14.3 because it's the only one I have found, does anybody have working links to 14.5 and above so I can test them?
I had to reinstall the phone so till now no unexpected reboot.
Thanks again guys!

why is no one discussing stable android 11 for op7p ? got my update round 3 a.m. this morning. been searching all day for a working twrp since the stable android 11 been released. no luck though......
Hi,
Today I installed the update manually and my phone keeps flashing the TWRP load-screen at boot. It's stuck now. Is that because there is no compatible TWRP version yet? How do I fix this?? Any idea?
There is no working TWRP yet for Android 11. You'll need to flash the stock boot.img or rooted boot.img from one of the threads in the news, guides section.
Edit: TWRP screen flashing is because it's incompatible. I had the same issue on the open betas.
Have the exact same issue as above, Twrp screen flashing, cannot boot back to normal even with adb... anybody has a rooted boot.img link that knows works with Android 11?
Should have checked on xda first *slaps his face*
Always check xda first *slaps his face again*
EDIT: For other poor saps with this issue use this -> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=2188818919693770594 I didnt managed to get booted with rooted img but the original boot img file worked well ... at least I got a phone now...

I mean.. same steps.. that ive used so far amd retain its root.
1. Download rom via o2 updater
2. Flash it via local update
3. Install magisk to inactive slot
4. Reboot.
So if i do this.. wifi wont work??? Is that it???
Finished updating my phone..after downloading it for about 2 hours.
And im quite satisfied with the results. No problems whatsoever..
Glad for you... You probably had already removed the encryption on your mobile... from what I'm reading that is the main incompatibility issue with TWRP...
FWIW after playing around for a day, I had to revert everything Phone wifi was weird (weirder with root and all mods disabled) and system was a little unstable in some 3p apps and there seems to be some bugs with the phone screen 60/90 refresh... Gonna wait a bit to update again.

i dont mind not having TWRP for the meantime,, i just used TWRP previously for flashing CUSTOM kernels.. hehehehe.
anyways, what problem have you encountered regarding wifi?? i dont seem to experience those,, maybe because i came from stable oos 10.3.8..
what app crashed and problems have you encountered???
