[Q] Why does Super su says "No binaries installed"

Just flashed the factory Rom and got everything set up. I flashed TWRP then tried to flash the latest SuperSu to get root and it installed it but when I went to open it it would say that I don't have any binaries installed and I can't uninstall SuperSU either. I tried to install CWM Recovery and refresh it through there but I still have the same issues... :/ What am I doing wrong or how can I get my phone rooted properly? Thanks for any help!

You need to flash a kernel that is permissive and then flash SuperSU there are a few in the forums if you search you shall find them

Instead of a permissive kernel, simply use Chainfire's AutoRoot, which will flash a more secure kernel and SuperSU automatically. You don't even need TWRP for this. http://download.chainfire.eu/363/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hammerhead-hammerhead-nexus5.zip
Go to http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ to get AutoRoot for other devices.

So I flash this in ADB? Is the secure kernel the same as stock? and if I were to flash a customer kernel like FK would I lose root? Sorry for all the questions just trying to clarify some stuff so I'm not completely ignorant to what I'm doing lol

There's a batch file that does it. You run it in the bootloader, not ADB.
FK has a Lollipop compatible kernel, but try and root stock first. Then flash FK's Lollipop version (it's different) and run CF AutoRoot again. Just to be sure things are working. Personally, I'm going to use stock for a while, understand the performance and then try FK or EX or whatever, so I'll be able to tell the difference.

You already have an existing thread on this problem, and were told what needs to be done and where to go to get that information and additional assistance... Why are you not using the resources that were given to you previously? There is no magic fix, something was done incorrectly or you are using the incorrect files.
The answer and all support you will need are in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-how-to-root-moto-g-2015-model-t3448572

So you fastboot flashed the ROM and verified it booted successfully (an initial boot is essential prior to rooting, it sets up the RAM disk and other boot image things the first time), rebooted, flashed TWRP (3.0+) and backed up, did the echo command and flashed SuperSU 2.78 SR1 and it still failed?
Flash the 2.62-3 beta of SuperSU https://download.chainfire.eu/751/SuperSU/ it forces systemless install regardless of detected options. You can update normally in the Play Store, then update the binary in the app.
One of those two methods will work, if it doesn't then you have something more going on then meets the eye or there is a piece of information you are not giving us. This is a tested and working process on every single known Moto G 2015 variant.
BTW, clearing cache and dalvik is not required when rooting, you are just increasing the time it takes to boot for no reason.

PD: (when you root, install recovery or unlock bootloader without enough time happens this kind of things)..

[Q] Is it possible to Flash .ZIP without root?

I have Galaxy S6 (920F) with Android Nougat.
I have managed to install TWRP Recovery on my device and it is allowing me to install .zip files. But my phone is Not ROOTED.
So my question is,
If I flash .zip(s) now that are made for my device, will it be installed successfully?
or my device will stuck on bootloop?

Well, if you are flashing some files into directories that don't require root to access, it will work.
But lets say you want to flash ported system app (like message app). It will not work, since it requires flashing into \system and that directory requires root to be accessed and modified. :good:

G920T : "dm-verity verification failed..." Help.

Hello, I currently have a G920T that had been working alright for quite some time. The problem is that yesterday while using it normally, it suddenly froze. Thought it was the app, but saw it was the phone itself. Thus, I decide to turn it on again. When I do that, the phone does not continue after the logo and has the LED light white, while blinking on an off. When I manage to enter the Android Recovery menu it gives me the error shown in the title. The phone's rooted and was unlocked, so I could use it with AT&T.
I attempted doing a full reset, upgraded it to Nougat, and I am still stuck. Any help's appreciated in advanced.

Would like to say, when I installed the official Nougat Upgrade for my phone, upon starting, it began installing some things and then preceded to start Deleting. Afterwards, it just froze again. Did I do something wrong?

To get past this issue you have to Root with SuperSU, this will patch the Kernel to disable DM-Verity and will allow you to boot normally.
If you don't want to get rooted then reflash stock firmware via odin. never do OTA updates as i have always say the come "Dirty"
EDIT: Sorry didn't read you were rooted, just re-root again with SuperSU (To get your Kernel patched again) for DM-Verity

So I use (what I previously used) cf-autoroot again? I ask this, since it seems their website have the recovery for marshmallow version and not for nougat (if I am not able to downgrade to 6).

Root with TWRP and superSU zip, i don't recommend CF-AutoRoot
Before flashing the Zip do the following on a Terminal in TWRP
Mount o- bind /dev/urandom /dev/random

You can use CF-AutoRoot for 6.0.1 and 7.0.

When I use CF-Autoroot and attempt to boot it into recovery I get the following message, "recovery is not seandroid enforcing".
So I'd take I try installing a custom ROM first before attempting to start it in recovery?

Oh, that means CF-AutoRoot has not updated to work on 6.0 & 7.0 bootloader for G920T (It is updated and working on 6.0.1 & 7.0 for G920F)
Flash the stock ROM again. After that, flash TWRP and than flash latest SuperSU zip via TWRP.

I tried doing that, but wouldn't get past the main ROM's screen. I tried a custom ROM then (I think nemesis or such) and lasted longer, but again froze and loops with the white LED light on.
Any suggestions?

You can boot twrp without flashing and then flash root

You said you wanted root, you were supposed to use the process to get root not flash magisk. I thought you had a method of installing magisk after getting root. I thought you were going to boot twrp recovery, not flash it, since you said you didn't want twrp.
Unfortunately you're going to have to flash stock with OST.

yeah now i got twrp but only come when boot from fastboot commands and i want magisk how can i get it?

Might I ask: what do you need magisk for?

Also in that recovery I got errors like can't Mount and some kind of encryption error and it say's I have to format data

Need magisk for root and modules as also I want all updates properly installed means i want to in stock recovery

In my opinion, only use the recovery for flashing stuff, don't mount anything other than sdcard, don't unlock. Maybe when there is a more compatible version of twrp ...

Well i don't know about the modules, but when I flashed stock firmware with OST (first time I flashed recovery my phone was stuck in twrp) then flashed root and xposed, I was still able to install updates. The stock firmware I installed was 7.0, but now i'm on the most recent update. So unless there are some specific modules that you need from magisk, I think you can stick with the regular root.
On the other hand you can continue to experiment with magisk, maybe you will find something that we don't know yet and get it working. But remember, if you want to flash anything, don't format with twrp at all, just leave everything readonly and flash

I'm not able to go to recovery by buttons. Only by fastboot command why is that?

What the hell is this i just try to go to recovery by buttons it works but I'm on stock recovery but i flashed twrp then i format data did formatting data did something to recovery? Or is it that i have to use fastboot command to go to twrp recovery? Where the hell is that recovery?

I don't know; the process of flashing recovery on HMD's nokias isn't yet fully developed, people have complained about flashing recovery but still not booting into it. Personally I would recommend that you use stock recovery and use fastboot to boot into twrp instead of actually flashing twrp whenever you want to flash anything. That way you are still able to install system update

But for installing magisk every where written that flash magisk zip from twrp but i got bootloop

Have you flashed stock firmware with OST? Can you boot normally now? If not, do that, then update ti the current android version using OTA. After that boot into twrp (whether you chose to flash twrp or just boot twrp is up to you). Do a backup then try flashing magisk again, maybe it will work this time

Yeah i already flashed stock rom with ost and already update to latest version i think magisk is not supported in Nokia 3

Hello mate, you can't root nokia 3 with Magisk. Why? Because noone never send boot img to dev! So only option to root it is Chainfire SuperUser 2.79v.

Ok brother but i have a question if i root and then remove some system apps then can I safely install updates?
