Okay, folks. I need some help. I was not able to flash new Cyanogen ROM's so I tried updating my TF300T to the latest US firmware. Here are the results and where I stand now.
1. TWRP 2.5 is loaded in recovery.
2. Latest ASUS firmware is installed.
3. Lost root.
4. Tried to re-root and cannot. SuperSU fails every time I try to update the binary.
5. I wipe everything and can boot into recovery.
6. I tell TWRP to flash the latest ASUS firmware zip file.
7. Firmware flashes but then when I go to reboot in TWRP it says that no OS is available!!
8. I can swipe the lock and reboot into 4.2.1 but obviously no root.
9. I have tried flashing the signed superuser file and it flashes and says successful.
10. When I use root checker pro to see if I have root it tells me that I do not have root.
What in the hell is going on????????? Any help or outline of steps would be appreciated.

Bootloader info plz. Unless you were using the experimental CM10.1 build (or a select few others), it sounds like you tried to flash a ROM compatible only with an older bootloader onto the "latest" build (from your description).
Hi All,
I have Moto X play running on android 5.1.1 lollipop. It was rooted recently and used with cyanogen Mod 12.1 for a month. during that time i did back up of entire phone. later i restored that and at present i have been using stock Rom. Recently i got official update for Android marshmallow and i downloaded the 500+Mb file and tried to install. In that process it was going to Twrp recovery mode and not installing properly. So i did reboot system. After 5 mins i turned on mobile, it got shutdown and i again restored my backup . It was working fine. cant we update to Marshmallow with the rooted device? If so how to stop the notifications of android system updates? I tried this way but still i am getting update notification
Apps--> All---> Motorola Update services--> turned off the notification
.How to disable it so that i should not receive update notification? or any other process to upgrade to marshmallow even after rooting? Please let me know

you need stock recovery to update to OTA mm, you cannot update from TWRP. download the lollipop stock-firmware extract the recovery file and flash it, then update.
i wanted to ask that after restoring from backup you got OTA update notification ? or you downloaded the MM update from other sources?? because i thought after rooting i wont get official OTA.

if you have your backup just do a full flash on stock rom and start fresh. there's an Asian 6.0 rom (I believe it is Indian) on the x play github. then proceed with root again.

Actually i am not android developer or android related person. After i heard many things about rooting the devices. I just give it a try by watching the video in you tube. So i am not aware of the core technical terms you specified.
First rooted the mobile. before installing the cyanogen Mod 12.1, i took back up in TWRP recovery mode. i used that same backup to restore after my device got shutdown. Yes even after rooting i got the Update notification

i think if you can block/disable notifications for Google Play Services, it'll remove the update notification.
settings>>apps>>google play services>>disable all notifications

Sir, Is it possible to unroot the rooted devices in any way? if so could you please let me know
if you want to unroot you can do it from superuser, its mentioned in the youtube video. just unroot from superuser settings.
then if you want to upgrade to marshmallow download Indian stock lollipop rom from https://github.com/motoxplay/stock. unzip it on your computer to the the folder where you kept TWRP while flashing it . you'll see a file named recovery.img.
from adb run the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
i.e flash this recovery just the way you flashed TWRP.
then you can update to marshmallow.
and did disabling google play services removed your update notification???

You just have to download the twrp flashable 6.0 zip file and restore it through twrp. No extra things.

Edit: do as the post above this mentions.[i didn't know about that thread but it'll also work]
or
nope no problem just flash the recovery. but before doing anything take a backup on your external sdcard twrp>>backup[look at bottom to change where to store the backup select sd card] for security if in case anything goes wrong, you can flash twrp again and restore.
and remember to select 'ALLOW OEM UNLOCK' and usb debugging options from settings>>developer options

Just follow the procedure as given in that thread and everything will be fine.
It has nothing to do with the way you rooted your phone.
If a phone has twrp installed, he has nothing to fear about upgrading to latest versions as the updates are made available on Xda in Twrp flashable zip.
So no need to format the stock firmware again and then update and then all the headache.

Sir, In your previous post you meant to say this?
1. First unroot the mobile using the super Su (settings)
2. Then flash the Stock lollipop rom mentioned in the github
3. Then update the mobile to Marshmallow
4. Then again root the device

1. correct
1.1. check oem unlock and usb debugging
1.2. Copy the original old backup which you took, to your external sdcard. [just to return to stock if anything goes wrong]
2. Just flash the recovery which is present in the lollipop rom, no need to flash the whole rom.
3. correct
4. Do NOT flash the old superuser to root. To root again follow these steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/general/root-how-to-root-6-0-easly-t3277202
that other post was much easier

Hello Friends,
I have tried to root my OPO running on cos 13 through TWRP. Unfortunately the rooting failed and the phone failed to start, It hangs in "cyanogen mod ready " boot animation screen. some how I have managed to flash the phone to stock OS and again updated it to COS 13.
Now I would like to root the phone , Please someone provide me the right SUPERSU link !
so that I can use it through TWRP.
P.S: The bootloader is already Unlocked.
Thanks in advance :good:
I'm dealing with the same problem, and I've had to flash the system partition back to 5.1.1 and then upgrade to 6.0.1 3 times. Each time I try installing different versions of SuperSU It hangs. Apparently you aren't supposed to install it, and enable root from the developer options, but I don't have any such option.

You need to flash the beta sytemless SU, downloads are at the bottom of this post. Latest is BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247.zip - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64161125&postcount=3
Ok, so I found a Beta version of SuperSU 2.7.1, and it seems to have worked. It was a different install process, saying it detected a "systemless root" or something, and it needed to patch the boot image. After that I appear to have root access again..
https://download.chainfire.eu/932/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip
Edit: Whoops, guess I should have refreshed the page before posting.. What you said is correct Ken.
Thank you

You can't apply stock OTA updates on a device that is rooted or has TWRP installed. That's why it started fine but went stupid when it went it tried to boot to recovery, it didn't find stock recovery, it found TWRP, the update isn't compatible with TWRP so it couldn't flash it, now you're stuck because it doesn't know what to do.
OTA updates require the device to be unrooted and must have stock recovery.
You will have to flash your stock firmware via PC using your devices flashtool.

I already finded the solution but thank you anyway .
but I can't install it because my phone is rooted with Magisk and when I install the update TWRP takes over and won't install the Android 9 update. It does something automatically for some time but when it reboots I still have Android 8.
Can I find the Installation file in .zip format and install it manually through TWRP ?
Are there any other ideas ? I tried this Magisk Uninstall - Restore Images and downloaded the Android 9 though the system update without rebooting but when I went back to the Magisk Manager I could not find the install button to continue with the process. I have the latest Magisk and latest TWRP.

Download the Android 8 ruu for your device and rename the zip the usual way.
Put zip on scarf and boot to download mode. It will see the stock firmware and update
