do we have to use systemless root on android 6.0.1? - General Questions and Answers

before 2 months ago i have been out of the modern android scene for a while. so now i'am on android 6.0.1 on my xiaomi redmi 3s. my bootloader is unlocked and im on us global dev.
i have been been struggling to keep up root. i dont like the fact that i have to clean install whenever a update comes for my phone because my phone will not allow OTA to a phone that system modded.
but at the same time not every app i use supports systemless rooting.
my issue is that with system root i cant do OTA'S and whenever a update comes i have to re root.
but on the systemless method not all apps support the systemless mode root.
also it seems that the system mode root works on some occasions, sometime it says systemless mode and sometimes it says system mode.

[Q] slower after systemupdate

Hello so I noticed after the lastest system update that my device went slower, is it becasue I keept an old root or that supersu is not up to date due to the old root? probably both, I honestly have no idea what supersu even does so that is why I am asking.

Latest update.

I've received this update... Now I'm rooted already. I don't know what to do... Should I update it or leave it as it is since I'm using xposed as well.
Will I have to root the phone again?
I've got twrp already installed.
Any instructions?
You can't even take the update if you're root it will just fail to install
wow, this is a pretty big update.
I am on build QB3, anyone else have this? Ive not seen much on it
I don't understand what it's for. I tried to download it but it says I'm out of space even though I have space to install

No where did you download your rom from? Did you root by yourself or did you download a rom on here that was already rooted?
I didn't download it from anywhere, when I got the phone, it was on lollipop, checked updates and there was one, after the update I came on 6.0.1
After a few weeks, I rooted it. Now I've this update
And yes I rooted the phone myself, after using odin to flash twrp

Ok since you rooted yourself it's going to show the update. Roms like https://forum.xda-developers.com/sp...g900p-pk1-stock-deodexed-marshmallow-t3521415 the developer disable the update notice for that. Think there's a rule you can flash through twrp to disable that too but idk where it is. A it's somewhere I this forum but it's been a while since I could remember where

But how can I take the update? What's it about? Is there any new feature that we're probably missing?
No you can't take the update unless you unroot. All the new updates for this phone are all security updates and that's it. There's no new features of your on 6.0.1. Anything past pca roms were just security updates. Sprint has been releasing new updates every month for this device but it's all security updates.

Did you unlock your bootloader to change firmware?
You are now going to need the drmfix for the rest of its life

Bootloader unlock wasn't needed at all.
Anyway, search XperiFix here on xda, but I don't know if it's ready for xz2 family. Oh, it's a paid solution, about 19€.

Z2 had even more troubles.
Maybe you never noticed, but the camera was really bad after bootloader unlock.

At least it can take pictures, only the preview is black :silly:
Due to the lack of pie support of the pay solution at the moment, you can downgrade your phone to OREO, install the solution, take a picture and upgrade your phone to PIE again.
You need newflasher v13 from XDA and the stock Oreo ROM I uploaded in the TWRP thread.
And a downgrade requires factory reset.
Because of the encryption.
Feel free to ask for help.

So I have to flash the previous version on mobile, run the fixer, and install again pie?

And use it a single time in OREO to take a picture.
And you need to backup your userdata before downgrading to Oreo.

Even with magisk hide?
You need magisk (it gives you root) to boot the phone after the twrp installation, because of Android Verified Boot 2.0

Go into my TWRP thread and install TWRP and magisk.
Root your phone, backup your apps with Titanium Backup
Downgrade to the Oreo firmware I uploaded there, use xperifix as DRMfix.
Boot into Oreo, use the camera to take one shot.
Upgrade to PIE and reinstall your apps with Titanium Backup.
Titanium Backup and xperifix costs some €/$
Then wait for xperifix PIE release to get your 100% photo quality back.

You're welcome
And a DRMfix reactivates every function back, like you never unlocked it.

Root access

hello to all of you,
So i know there are probably many threads about this, but i just cant get my xz premium rooted. i've been trying for a while now.
Last time i rooted a phone was in the windows mobile 6 time lol.
So i tried to unlock the bootloader with the official sony guide on their site bit it didnt work.
i tried some apps like kingroot and oneclickroot but i quickly found that kingroot only gets adware on my phone and oneclickroot is payed and hell i aint paying for nothing.
I tried some manual methods but also these i cant get to work.
So is there any simple thread on how to root my xz premium ?
side note:
my volume up button is broken but i still got it into fastboot so i got this far.
thanks in advantage.
So now my kbc bank app says my phone is rooted and i can not use it anymore while my phone isnt rooted

Well there is the problem, cause my phone isnt rooted, but i think im gonna give up cause im moving to the oneplus 7 pro soon

Rooting Oneplus 7 Pro using magisk soft-bricks my deivce.

I tried rooting my oneplus 7 pro using magisk with two different boot.img both time the device got soft bricked, wi-fi stopped working no volumes at own. i did get root access but i loose wi-fi connectivity and audio of my device.
I tried factory reset after rooting but it won't fix issue either.
I am currently on Oxygen OS 11.0.1.1.
Anyone having same issues? Or your magisk root works just fine? Any other way to root my OP7 pro.
A device's Android is rooted when SU ( AKA root ) is present.
Since Android 6 by default Toybox is part of any Android distribution. This Toybox release is restricted, means SU subcommand isn't supported. Hence all you have to do to get Android rooted is to replace pre-installed Toybox version by Toybox v0.8.5 what isn't restricted, will say contains SU support. Only requirement: ~200KB free space is available in /vendor/bin directory.

I tried, it worked I got root but it's not optimal, I had battery issues and the phone also runs a little sluggish.
So I reverted it back to stock using the MSM download tool.
