I have rooted my Pixel and installed TWRP before after an update. But after this update, I installed RC1 of TWRP and it is installed now. But when I install the ZIP of SU through TWRP, I do the install and reboot then go into the playstore and install SuperSU and it says I am not rooted.. What am I doing wrong?

Wrong version of SU? You need the beta, SU 2.79 SR3
Note the 9 in there, not an 8.

I have 2.79 SR3. That's what I don't understand. The only thing I've tried different is the RC1 build of TWRP. I did have alpha 2 before. May go back to alpha and see if it lets me root
If you are just booting TWRP to install a zip, I find that Alpha 2 is more reliable than RC 1. There are times on RC 1 the initial popup doesn't show up for me, so then it won't install the zip. The times I've used Alpha 2 it has worked without issue.

Odd that the main release doesn't work but the alpha does. I tried multiple times in a row to get su to install. It says it is installing it and gives no errors. Reboot and no root

ive downloaded and installed the hammerhead omnirom nightly from their site and it works great except for the fact that my apps cant get root access. Anyone know why this is and how to get root access back.
ive also installed superuser, though when i go to install the latest binary through the app, the latest version of it (3.1.1) doesnt get installed, it stays with the default "legacy" version

Root has not been merged into OmniRom yet, so please flash the Super SU zip in recovery.

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..

Edit: Whoops, guess I should have refreshed the page before posting.. What you said is correct Ken.
Thank you

Is it necessary to install the TWRP 3.0.2-0 RC1 zip before rooting? The reason I'm asking is because all I wanted was to boot TWRP (not install it), but when I booted the TWRP RC1 img, then installed the SuperSU 2.79 zip, root didn't "take". I had to use the alpha2 version of TWRP and then the SuperSU zip installed just fine.
Perhaps this is an anomaly with TWRP 3.0.2-0 RC1 on NMF26U?

You're using the outdated 2.79 version. You can use that version but you need to do one more step if you use RC1. However, rather than the long explanation, just download the new 2.79 SR2 and install it on TWRP RC1 (whether RC1 is permanently installed, or temporary like you're doing).
Why do you prefer root but leaving TWRP behind.

I forget to mention I also like root for Titanium Backup. It's a total must have.
I first booted TWRP RX1, then installed TWRP RC1 and then SU v2.79-SR2. This did work. I also tried v2.78-SR4 first (as it is linked in the Pixel Forum SU Thread) but that did not install.
Sorry that I can't help with the TWRP Boot only try.
I have a Honor 8 with Emui 5.0.1, Android 7 model FRDL09 , build FRD- L09C432B394.
I have unlocked the bootloader and installed 3.0.3-0 Twrp but when i try to install SuperSU from the recovery i can't (the phone start the operation but after 2 or 3 seconds on the screen there are some very fast message and the phone just reboot. I was able to read the message that is:
- System-less Mode, Boot Image Support required
- creating image
I tried with 2 different version of SuperSU (sr3-SuperSU-2.79-Sr3- 2017 0114223742.zip and SuperSU-v2.82-Sr5-Permissive.zip but i have the same problem
Anyone can help to figure out what i'm doing wrong?

Yea i just did that reading better the forum and i figured out that i was using the wrong twrp version
I still used the official SuperSu 2.82, do you think it is better go for magisk?
Thank you for your reply
For me is better magisk.
When I want update my device, I uninstall magisk with the uninstalled twrp zip, and then, I update with the full update package and 0 problems.

Sadly i can't find the original rom of my phone so i can't reflash it to remove the changes done by SuperSU so i need to stick with it even if i want to try magisk
