Custom ROM edit zip file bootloop problem - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In the Aroma installation files, I changed only the updater-script by removing the following lines:
=====
package_extract_dir("commands/Root", "/tmp/Root");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "unzip", "/tmp/Root/Root.zip", "META-INF/com/google/android/*", "-d", "/tmp/Root");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "sh", "/tmp/Root/META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary", "dummy", "1", "/tmp/Root/Root.zip");
delete_recursive("/tmp/Root");
====
I also removed the root folder and rezipped the whole thing. I wanted to root it myself with the version I wanted. But, the installation goes through without a single problem. Once I reboot to system, bootloop back to Samsung logo them TWRP. I can install and run the unmodified zip but as soon as I touch something inside even to debloat, I get bootloop.
Can anyone help me or guide me into what I am doing wrong. It's a v7.0 stock ROM but with a default root that I want to remove. I also wanted to debloat it but again...bootloop.
The basic question would be: How can I modify the zip file of a ROM without a bootloop when I know that the original.upload boots without problem.

Hi, maybe it's time to move to stable Android 10 : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/guide-tutorial-howto-samsung-galaxy-s6-t4108425

V8 thrpugh 10 all have terible camera issues which makes facebook messenger and photo editing so tiring and unusable. The best experience I ve had so far is with nougat where everything works besides some normal samsung stuff that I do not need.

Stable Android 10, 9, 8 or 7.1.2 on S6 is never possible. Hwc Bluetooth camera, crackle voice in messenger, Echos by calling, draining battery like hell, GPS issue, Network and connection issue, sim detection problems, and many more **** did you call stable? Lineagos for S6 and the hole family are just unofficial Port from other devices.

You did make the mistake to belive that the Word Root stands for Admin rights in this way...but here it means directory. Btw it is just tmp...temporally. Stock Rom did not have root/admin rights. Stock Rom did not have Aroma. Stock Rom is from Samsung...the original.
Maybe its possible to uncheck the root/admin option in Aroma or you just install the root/admin by Aroma and after flash is done...you select your own rooting Tool like magisk or supersu or what ever and Flash it then. So you overwrite the one from the Aroma package.
To debload the Rom you just search here or anywhere for a debloader for your Phone. Flash it in recovery Mode.
To manually delete apps you download the App "Systemapp remover (root)" with a Red icon from playstore

The author of the ROM I am using is not answering my PM so I feel free to post the ROM I use to install. I am using Samstock ROM. I tried to find a ROM that was as close as stock as possible with no additions or tweaks from the author. I want to debloat and install things by myself. So I downloaded the ZIP file and tried removing just one bloatware from apps or priv-app and it does an automatic Boot loop after installation. So I am wandering why I get boot loops when removing files from the zip installation file. And, the author has commented that the section is to add root. So yes, I wanted NO root installed so I can do that myself amongst other apps to remove.
Basically, I want the phone, textos, contacts and the basic functione like blutooth, wifi and other hardware necessities and remove the rest. I will decide to install Google apps if I want, I will decide if I want root, I will chose which Gallery app I want and which video player. And I want to reduce the file size for a very small, portable stock nougat rom. Thats what I am atemting to do.

BS_FREE_Lollipop_5.0_Rom_BPB1_Based

This is a modified version of @jrkruse stock BPB1 deodexed ROM with all(or most) of the stock BS removed.
INSTRUCTIONS:
I've included the links needed if you want to use xposed. If you chose not to use Xposed, then skip that step in the flashing process.
I have only used Safestrap to install this ROM, but FlashFire should work as well.
1) Flash NO_BS_BPB1_ROM_DEODEXED.zip
2) Flash Extra_toggles.zip
3) Flash xposed-v75-sdk21-arm-arter97-snapdragon.zip
4) Flash Lollipop_Safestrap_Reboot_Extended_PM_PB1.zip
5) Flash BPB1_Firmware_No_Bootloaders.zip
6) After first boot, open Lollipop Recovery Control and install the latest Safestrap.
7) Open up Viper4Android and install the driver. Then install Viper Fix 1.1.apk and run the Viper fix in the app.
There is no need to flash any Viper zips with this ROM. This ROM has all the same apps as BOK3 V5, but obviously updated to the BPB1 apps. The only app added is multiwindow. I don't use multiwindow, so I can be certain that all aspects of it work, but everything seemed to work normally when I played with it.
Note: Don't pay attention to the 1- prefix in front of some of the ROM versions. I prefix all my flashables in my ROM folder with a 1-, 2-, 3-, ect, so that I have them all in order when I flash them instead of having to remember the order every time lol. I forgot to remove those prefixes when I uploaded the ROMs.

I've downloaded it multiple times from multiple mirrors, I keep getting 6619258FCFF93587050F9E15B2FFBAA9 as the md5 not
a1d8316898d604314b884dafb09298b0 that is listed for 1-NO_BS_BPB1_ROM_DEODEXED.zip on the download page. I'll give it a try anyway since I can always reflash my NCG stock.
Edit:
It works! But now I have 492 errors anytime I want to download something from google play? Anyone else with this issue?

Does anyone know what exactly is new/improved in this BPB1? I feel like these versions keep getting released, but I have no idea what is actually improved LOL.
Thanks! Seems to be working well. Google Calendar kept force closing, so I removed it and installed the Play Store version.
Some apps seen to have a touch recognition problem, like titanium backup. Haven't had any FC errors.

I don't have any of these problems on mine. Does anybody else? It sounds like you guys might have some bad data from a previous ROM. The Play Store was updated in this ROM, so clear data for the Play Store, and that might fix the problem.

Few Questions
First, since I'm pretty new to flashing ROMs with SafeStrap...
At each step of your process when you say "Flash" does that mean Safestrap-> Boot to Recovery ->Install Zip ???
I'm looking at needing Xposed in order to bypass my company's Exchange security requirement of encrypting my device in order to allow email access.
I got a little confused with all the Xposed documentation out there.
Does this set of instructions get me to where I can load the Xposed module to bypass that security and then continue from there?
Big Thanks for your help.
I'm going to start a backup of current ROM so I'll be ready to install this soon.

Yes, flash means install in Safestrap.
If you flash the Xposed zip I linked in the original post, then you can use modules in the Xposed installer app included in the ROM.

1.) In safestrap, just do wipe->factory reset or is more of a wipe required?
2.) Can I flash them all using the Zip Queue in Safestrap (TWRP 2.7.1.0) or should I do them one at a time?
Factory reset in factory recovery. You can install all of them on one queue.

I did that, and this is AWESOME. Love the ROM. Tough to decide between the two launchers. Haven't had this level of control in a while.
Only snag was that Android Pay doesn't recognize the device as Android authentic, so can't use Android Pay (which I almost never used anyway).
Thanks for all the work @CVertigo1

I believe Android Pay doesn't work sheerly because the device is rooted, not because of the ROM itself.
Can't get snapchat to login with Xposed. I've read the solution is to do an Xposed framework uninstall, login to Snap, then reinstall Xposed, but have found a lot of people get hung in a bootloop when uninstalling.
Is this from using the wrong uninstaller or something else?
Which uninstaller is correct?
Do you have another solution?
I have tried removing the modules and doing a reboot to see if that'd be adequate.
EDIT:
The issue was the xposed framework.
To anyone else doing this on Galaxy S5 with this ROM (or same version of Xposed)
1.) uninstall Snapchat
2.) Deactivate modules from Xposed
3.) Download and Flash "xposed-uninstaller-arter97.zip" from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3113463
4.) Reboot and wait for all the apps to Optimize
5.) Reinstall snapchat and login
6.) Flash the same Xposed framework in original post of this thread (apps will re-optimize)
Is there a way to disable the high volume warning? I can't believe they now also have it on Bluetooth...

Since Xposed is already in the ROM, inside of Xposed, go to Downloads & download the module "NoSafeVolumeWarning". Enable it and reboot.
Boom. No more volume warning.

So were you able to uninstall Xposed? I see your edit of "fixed issue" but in case you didn't or having issues I posted this in another thread.

Yes, that fixed the issue.
Successfully uninstalled Xposed, Reinstalled SnapChat and logged in without issue. Then, reflashed the Xposed framework.
So easy, but I was so nervous doing it after seeing many, many people talking about getting hung in a bootloop.

[Q&A][FAQ][TW][N][7.0][SM-G930F/FD/K/L/S/W8] SuperMan/SuperStock-Rom

Hello guys, I open a Question and Answer Thread for all SuperMan Rom users, so even users under 10 posts can ask their questions here.
Below I added some basic Q&A stuff which can also be found at the main thread, if you have any question, read through them before posting, thanks!
In case you search for the changelog have a look: Changelog post
If you want to see my post with all useful links such as TWRP, magisk, xposed and more visit: useful post​
Basic Questions:
Q: How to get into Download Mode?
A: Power off your phone, than hold: home + volume down + power on button until you see the download mode.
Q: How to get into Recovery Mode?
A: Power off your phone, than hold: home + volume up + power on button until you see the recovery mode.
Q: My Phone is stuck at boot and doesn't start, what to do??
A: Update your bootloader and modem. Also make sure you have made a fresh install of the rom. Bootloader and Modem can be found in the OP. Another problem can be that you are didn't decrypt your phone. To fix this read below how to disable encryption.
Q: Do I need to update bootloader and modem after every update?
A: It's recommend to update your bootloader and modem everytime there is a new base yes. The developer will tell you if necessary on every rom changelog.
Q: I get verification failed at start up!?!? My phone is broken now?
A: Yes, you have to buy a new phone now. Just kidding You did not disable force encryption in TWRP (how to do so you will find below in how to decrypt your phone).
Q: I get verification FRP LOCK? WHYYYYYY???
A: Very simple answer, you did not enable OEM Unlock in developer options. Now you need to flash full rom with odin again and start from scratch. But don't forget to enable OEM Unlock this time!
Q: Which devices are supported at the moment?
A: Current supported devices are: SM-G930F/FD/K/L/S/W8. Snapdragons are NOT supported
Q: Is this rom working on Snapdragon 820 variants?
A: No, sadly not.
Q: I want to change something in my rom setup, how can I do that?
A: Simply reflash the same rom version without any wipe and than choose the correct things you want.
Q: Some features are not present in this rom, but they are on stock rom, so where are they?
A: In aroma installer you have the option to select bloat you want to install or not, you probably didn't select all package, this is why it's missing now.
Q: After a clean install my phone is overblated with many custom settings. What to do?
A: Open my romcontrol, grant it root permissions and then my default settings will be applied.
Q: Will you add X or Y feature?
A: You can kindly ask in the thread for that, if I like your suggestion I will think about adding it to the rom.
Q: You said you fixed SD card RW but Titanium Backup can't write to external SD card, why???
A: This is because of googles changes concerning SD card, to fix this open Titanium Backup, Menu, Preferences, Backup Folder Location, Storage provider and than hit DocumentProvider Storage and select your SD card. Problem solved
Q: I can't find X and Y mod. Please help
A: I've added many links and useful stuff to this post here. Hope that's what you have been looking for!
Q: I want to have my external storage like an internal as well. Google introduced it with android Marshmallow, but I can't see this option?
A: Just follow this Guide here and you can setup your SD card as normal storage
Q: I got a new strange icon appearing after nougat update. What's that?
A: This is a new advanced calling feature introduced in android nougat. Should make your call quality better or something like this. To hide it please visit following forum: Get rid of RCS icon
Questions concerning rom updates:
Q: Do I have to do a full wipe for the new version?
A: It is always the best option to make a clean install, otherwise please don't come and report bugs!
Q: But I don't want to make a full wipe when only small stuff changed!
A: For updates using the same bases you can install the rom with a dirty flash. BUT with a new base a clean install is highly recommend!
Q: What steps should I do to update to a new version with a full wipe but keep all data?
A: There are some different ways. One way is to make a backup with Titanium Backup, you can backup all Apps and Preferences there. Make sure to store this backup on external SD card (if you have one). Second way would be to save your data onto a google account or samsung cloud and restore it after a clean install.
Q: I miss an apk after rom update, how can I get it back?
A: Simply reflash rom and select "dirty flash" in aroma + select the app this time in aroma.
Q: My battery life is so bad and performance is very poor after an update!?!?
A: This comes actually not form the rom itself, dirty flash can cause problems even if only some small things have been changed. So simply install it clean again and it will solve your problem.
Q: Performance and battery is very poor even after clean install. What should I do now?
A: I assume you installed Xposed than, some modules can cause batterydrain and performance problems. So try to make a clean install of the rom WITHOUT xposed installed.
Questions about log and logcats:
Q: I got FC's and other Problems with the rom, what to do?
A: Take a logcat for me, developers use to say: without a log, it never happened . A logcat can be grabed with a PC and ADB installed, simply type: adb logcat > log.txt while your phone is connected and the error is happening. Same can be done if you have a terminal installed on your phone. Simply type adb logcat > log.txt and you will have the same output as on the PC.
Q: What kind of logs can I provide to help you?
A: Logcat: This one is for general infos about FC's
DMESG: this is for kernel related things
Last_Kmsg: this can be used after a random reboot
Q: How to get logs?
A: 1. Connect your phone to your pc
2. Make sure you got usb debugging enabled
3. Install Minimal ADB tool
4. After install open it and type: adb logcat > logcat.txt, adb shell dmesg > dmesg.log, adb shell cat proc/last_kmsg kmsg.log
5. Send me the file you got
You can also send me a log created by your phones terminal with the exact same commands!
Questions about RomControl:
Q: None of my romcontrol changes do anything, why are you such a bad dev!?!?
A: The problem is not on my end, you installed stock systemUI (which is STOCK and does not support one single mod). Use another one in aroma instead. The same thing can happen with good lock!
Q: Romcontrol gives FC's to me. HELP!
A: Very simple answer here: wipe data and cache from superman control application. Also make sure storage permissions are given to the romcontrol.
Q: Romcontrol still FC after cleaning data and cache!
A: Make sure you allow storage permission in main settings.
Q: I try to backup my current RomControl setup, but it won't work?
A: It works. Just make sure to enable storage permission in main samsung applicatoin settings. You will find it in internal sdcard under RomControl folder.
Q: I can't restore SuperMan control settings after a clean base update, why?
A: Backup for SuperMan control only works as long as you use the same version of the app, I mostly change very much things in new releases that's why it won't work there.
Q: SystemUI reboot doesn't work in SuperMan settings app, why?
A: Since Nougat update, you need to install busybox in order to get this button working. Without busybox the button will just do nothing.
Q: I enabled weather on lockscreen but I can't see anything...
A: You probably didn't setup or even installed samsungs weather widget. Without it weather on lockscreen won't work too. So reflash the rom with the widget installed this time and set it up.
How to go back to stock:
Q: I like to go back to stock rom, how is this possible?
A: I can provide you here all steps which are needed to go back to a full stock rom.
0. Make a backup and than wipe all partitions in TWRP
1. Go to Sammobile and choose your country
2. Download the file and the attached Odin on sammobile
3. After downloading, put your phone into download mode
4. Make sure drivers are installed and your pc can detect your phone in odin
5. If the box in odin turns blue, add the AP file to AP tab, BL file to BL tab, CP file to CP tab and CSC_HOME to CSC tab
6. Hit start and wait until it is finished.
7. Reboot and you have a stock rom again
Questions about Encryption:
Q: On TWRP there is an error about /data mount, what to do?
A: Your device is encrypted, follow the steps below to get rid of your encryption.
Q: Help, I never had a code and now after installing the rom my phone asks for a password??
A: Your device is still encrypted, on step 0 of my rom instructions it tells you to be sure you're not. So, what do you need to to in case you are still encrypted.
A: HOW TO DISABLE ENCRYPTION:
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Select Wipe
3. Select format data
4. Then you manually need to type "yes" with the keyboard
5. Confirm the wipe (this will remove the encryption)
6. Reboot your recovery
Q: Is there a way to get rid of encryption which is simpler?
A: Not really, you could also wipe data with stock recovery but this is quite a big hassle so above method works better.
Q: And if I want to use this rom with encryption?
A: Normally we can use the stock kernel to encrypt our device, but since the Android 7.0 Nougat update samsung makes a check kernel sides to block deodexed roms from booting. This means that even the stock kernel is build by me to disable knox and tima. So encryption won't work there and you have to encrypt your device after you set up your phone. After that go to settings, security, encrypt device. It may need some additional steps to work...
Questions about CSC/Signal:
Q: Where has the CSC selection gone?
A: To include all csc files, the rom get way to big, so it got it's own thread now, take a look here: CSC installer
Q: I have a weak cellular signal, what can I do against it?
A: Two things: first, install your providers CSC using CSC installer and flash in TWRP or flashing stock CSC with Odin. Second Thing: You can install the modem from your provider, also find your modem on Sammobile and install it with Odin in CP tab.
Q: I don't have all sHealth features, how come?
A: Not all CSCs include this feature. I recommend to use AUT or DBT as it has the best compatibility!
Q: Can I flash MM CSC on N and vis a verse?
A: No, this is clearly not recommend! You can and will face call fc's!
Questions about Xposed:
Q: Does Xposed work yet on Android N 7.0?
A: No it does not! You will end up in a bootloop when you flash it on android N
Q: I selected xposed but now I don't see an app for it?
A: Maybe there went something wrong with installing the app to /data/app from my installer script. But xposed is actually installed only the app is missing, so head over to the download page of xposed app: Material Xposed Thread
Q: I selected xposed but the app shows not active or something else with xposed is not working.
A: This can have 2 reasons:
1. You have installed latest xposed version without installing magisk, magisk is required for most recent xposed version!
2. You used 86.2 xposed (which does not need magisk) but you did not install supersu. Since 86.2 does not use magisk to be systemless it uses supersu instead!
Questions about Magisk:
Q: How can I pass safetynet?
A: 1. Make sure to fully uninstall SuperSU by chainfire
2. Flash most recent 2.4.3 SuperStock Kernel
3. Flash Magisk V12
4. install latest Magisk Manager from playstore
5. Open Magiks Manager, go to settings
6. Enable MagiskHide, systemless hosts and systemless busybox
7. Reboot the phone and check safetynet!
Q: I got out of date binary issue?
A: Since Magisk V11.1 there is no need for phh root anymore. Everything is handled inside the MagiskManager apk!
Q: Where can I configure the root settings in Magisk?
A: Since Magisk V11.1 Magisk uses MagiskSU, you can find it in latest Magisk Manager V4.1
Questions about Snapchat:
Q: Even when I did not use xposed during my setup in rom I can't login to snapchat anymore!
A: Snapchat got updated and now detects even root access on your phone!
Q: What to do to login to snapchat then?
A: Clean install the rom without root and xposed and login to your snapchat, save the app with titanium backup, flash back xposed and root. For the next update of the rom just restore snapchat backup in TB.
Q: Any other possibility?
A: You could enable MagiskHide and check Snapchat inside it so root will be hidden from Snapchat. You will be able to perfectly login without any issues.
Q: I want to discuss this problem a bit deeper. Should I do so?
A: Do that, but this has nothing to do with this rom, so please go ahead and post your experience here on this Snapchat Thread.
Questions about Kernels:
Q: I want to switch kernel, how?
A: Since we have systemless xposed and systemless supersu, we have patches in ramdisk of boot.img. This means you have to reflash Magisk and supersu (or any other zip that changes some stuff in ramdisk partition) after every change of kernel!
Q: Synapse shows no UCI support!
A: Most comon issue is that no busybox is installed. Download the one from here: Latest busybox and flash it in recovery.
Q: I got random reboots, heeelp!
A: This is most likely from a custom kernel, if you face random reboots please check if you have the latest kernel installed or switch back to the stock kernel included in the rom.
Q: My screen is kind of yellow/orange and the touchscreen doesn't work at all!
A: You have chosen the wrong kernel in aroma selection. Reflash the rom without any wipe selecting the right kernel version.
Questions about Root:
Q: I lost root after installing this rom. What to do?
A: All mods (like supersu, phh's root, xposed and magisk) are stored in ramdisk of kernel boot.img. So if you flash this rom, and after this another kernel, simply reflash your preferred root method and it will work again!
Q: I selected phh root but my phone tells me I am not rooted!!
A: There are two possibilities:
1. You have mixed supersu/phh with magisk.
2. You did not install phhs root app from playstore.
Q: I get a warning about binary out of date. Help!
A: That happens on latest Magisk V11.1. Reason: Root has fully moved into Magisk Manager, no additional app required. Uninstall phh or supersu apps and only use magisk!
Q: I want to use su hide on my phone, how to do so?
A: Both below variants are outdated, I recommend to use Magisk with its build in MagiskHide. Check the thread: Magisk Thread
Link to phh's hidesu: Phh's thread
Link to chainfires suhide: Chainfires thread
Hi,
I have a bit of a silly question. I have enabled the torch to be turned on by the volume button but now want to turn that function off and can't remember where i enabled it from. I have looked everywhere but can't find it. Are you able to point me in the right direction.
Many thanks.

downloadable files verification
Can some one verify that all of the downloadable files on the OP are the correct ones?
Can't seem to get it working, the steps I follow, are as following.
-> flash to stock rom from sammobile
-> OEM unlock
-> flash latest TWRP
-> in TWRP, format data
->install latest BL and CP from OP
-> flash rom -> Clean install
result is a non booting superman rom.. What can I do? I have been trying for DAYS now...

There are several reasons:
1. Encryption is still enabled
2. BL/CP was not successfull
3. You mixed your settings about G930F or G935F model
I noticed a few things in aroma log when it was installing
failure to boot.img extracting ramdisk failure, aborting, is this something that's causing the problem?
I am still not getting it right..

Someone said that it even checks for root now
Okay, here's the solution. If you find yourself having trouble logging in in to snapchat on a rooted device without xposed framework installed. Make sure to search for xposed using root explorer, delete all system files manually.. For some reason xposed uninstaller did not completely remove every xposed file in my phone.

[Root][Nougat]Enable the built-in Unit converter in the STOCK Calculator App

This little mod can only be done on rooted phones at least, recovery recommended because you have to modify a System file: system/etc/floating_feature.xml
Just (carefully) add this line:
cachanilla86 said:
<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_CALCULATOR_SUPPORT_CONVERTER>TRUE</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_CALCULATOR_SUPPORT_CONVERTER>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It should work on any Note5 and S6 and S7 models running Nougat because the feature is already there, It is just disabled by default.
I'm attaching a flashable zip with MY OWN floating_feature.xml. DO NOT FLASH IT AS IT IS, it is just an example for you guys. Make a backup of your own file and edit that and use the zip to install it (just replace said file with your own inside the zip) or add the line using Root explorer. If the phone bootloops you will have to flash the zip via custom Recovery. If you have a custom ROM or a stock one this will work. No need to clear caches or app data. After rebooting you will see a ruler like icon on the calculator app.
Works on Kongloid rom v11. Thanks !
Many thanks, worked on My note 5 (920I-XSP) official nougat Rom , rooted of course..

Trying to Root phone using SuperSu - need help.

Hi.
This is my first post, I hope i'm in the correct forum.
I have a friend whom I requested to Root, Flash TWRP and Install LineagOS and GAAP on my OnePlus One phone.
He successfully flashed TWRP and installed LineagOS & GAAP but could not root my OnePlus One using SuperSu. He mentioned permission issue trying to root.
He went back to his country, so I am stuck trying to root my phone.
I would like to root my LineagOS (formally OnePlus One) using SuperSU.
I have downloaded/copied the latest SuperSu zip file into the Phone Sd/Download folder.
I went into custom recovery (TWRP).
Click on the Install button and verified I can see my SuperSu zip file.
Since this is my first time performing a phone root, I did not click SuperSu zip to install, until some experts can assist. me.
Just a few (Q's).
Questions:
a) Should I run any preliminary steps prior to clicking install SuperSu.zip?
b) Since I have LineagOS, GAAP apps already installed, will they be wiped after rooting SuperSu. If (Yes), any software available to backup/restore LineagOS & GAAP prior to the root process?
c) My friend mention “Permission problems with OPO”. Are there some options to open OPO and allow rooting SuperSu?
BTW: I do have the adb & fastboot installed if I need to enter some commands to get this done.
Thanks.
Tom.
a) No.
Download flashable supersu zip and flash it from here and flash it via TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703
b) No.
But you can take nandroid backup through twrp in case something goes wrong.
c) As far as I know there is no problem with "permission" for rooting.
Happy flashing
Hi psxda97.
I did your requested instructions, but still not Rooted.
Here are the steps I did:
1) Downloaded the latest SuperSu zip from XDA and copied to Sd/Download folder on my phone.
2) Went into Custom Recovery TWRP) on my phone.
3) Click Install, selected SuperSu.zip Swipe bar to continue.
Completed 181 seconds did not see errors.
4) Wiped Dalvic & Cache. Reboot the Phone.
When phone restarted I went into Titanium backup apps to test if Root was successful. Received error msg from Titanium "Could not acquire root privileges. This app will not work Verify your Rom is rooted and try again"
Not sure if this makes a difference: in Developers Option I had root access ADP Only enabled & allow Unknown Sources set off.
Since this is the second time running SuperSu should I needed to wipe any files before rooting?
I'll await you reply.
Thanks.
Tom.

I think I'm missing something. Did you tried any other method to root? I recommend a clean flash.
1. Download Sultanxda's unofficial lineageOS from here
2. Download Gapps from here. ( ARM-7.1-nano)
3.Download SuperSU from here
4. [Optional] take back up of your apps (No need to back up medias like photo,video,etc)
5.Got Recovery>wipe>advanced wipe
select system,data,cache and dalvik cache (DO NOT SELECT INTERNAL)
6.flash the zips you already downloaded in this order - ROM- Gapps - SuperSU
do not wipe anything after this step
7.Reboot
1st reboot will take some time (10-20 min ). Do not interrupt this process.
PS: I totally recommend Sultan's LineageOS over official LOS. You can actually feel the difference in smoothness and performance. Especially the Camera.
Feel free to check device specific forum for OnePlus One
Happy flashing!
@psxda97.
Thanks for the quick reply.
OK, I'm going to start from scratch as you requested.
When I try to download SuperSu (from your link above) located in Google Play, I get “supersu already installed for your device”.
Did not find SuperSu in Phone Apps settings.
Went into TWRP File Manager \ supersu folder. Deleted all (4) entries.
Rebooted.
Went back into TWRP. The 4 entries reappear.
Google Play continues to gray out my device name. SuperSu is already installed.
I do have a SuperSu zip file on my PC. I installed this on my last attempt. It appears to be the same as Google Play.
Here is the name:
“C:\Users\Tomx\Downloads\SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931.zip\”
Should I go with this?

Yes. Copy all 3 zip (rom,gapps,supersu) to you phone.

@psxda97
Ok, I followed your steps 1-7.
Instructions completed successfully.
After setting up LineageOS and my Google acct I downloaded Titanium Backup.
Clicked on the app and received same error message stated in my previous post.
Is there another option/app to check if my phone is rooted?
I notice when I logoff from TWRP, I get this message displayed “Your device does not appear to be rooted Install SuperSU now This will root your device?“ There is a button to Install.
XDA put out a notice this is a bogus message and do not install.
“Sometimes, TWRP can’t detect that you already have SuperSU, so it’ll ask to flash its built-in version. But it’s almost always best to flash the latest version of SuperSU yourself “
In TWRP file manager\supersu folder contains 4 files.
99SuperSuDaemon, install-recovery.sh, su, Superuser.apk.
Are these the Built in version of supersu?
If you have other suggestions, let me know – Thanks for your help.

Can you send me a screenshot of supersu app?
I'm using the exact settings and I don't have any problem at all.
Do not let TWRP install supersu.
@psxda97
As you know the Supersu is a zip file. When I open/ then extract, the display will show folders & their contents.
I have attached all the folders & contents from supersu extract for your review.
To get a screenshot maybe you can walk me through this step.
The only way I can think of is to find & download the SuperSu apk file (for this version) onto my phone and open it to get a visual screenshot of the app.
Here is the website link where I downloaded SuperSu 2 days ago.

1. Download supersu zip file from website to my PC.
2. Connect PC to phone.
3. I do not extract the supersu.zip on my PC, I just manually copy the supersu.zip (as is) to Download folder (A0001) of my Phone.
4. Logoff off phone.
5. Get into TWRP. Click Install. Click supersu zip.
6. Reboot, when finish, run Titanium Backup on phone to check for root.
Should supersu app be on my phone after installation/rebooting?
Somehow it's not doing the root, even though it completes successfully in TWRP. Strange.

Go to system settings>developer options>root access and set it to "apps and adb"
If you flash the SuperSU.zip in TWRP on your device then you should have root.
I think you misunderstood from the beginning, did you download the SuperSU.zip and then extract it on PC and then try to install it? If so, that was completely the wrong thing to do. You might have to remove what you've done so far and then try again from a clean start, you might gave to flash your stock firmware to get a clean start.
Have you looked into whether you need normal SuperSU or whether you need systemless SuperSU?

No I never did an extract of the Supersu zip file. I just raised that as a "Should I".

The problem might be in the LineageOS ROM that you're using, I've seen others have this issue on other devices using LineageOS.
I don't recall what some of the solutions were.
@Sam Nakamura is pretty knowledgeable about the OnePlus devices, maybe he has some useful input.

Sorry, it's early in the morning here and I think I haven't been able to get the question yet...
First of all, lineageOS provides a own method of root, found here:
https://download.lineageos.org/extras
If you instead choose to use supersu the order must be -> rom, (custom kernel), supersu, (or rom, custom kernel, gapps, supersu but for gapps it doesn't matter when to flash them as long as it is in the same session and after the rom, supersu intendes to either patch the kernel (hence systemless) or to write in system (partition of the rom), that's why rom and custom kernel (if you choose to use a custom kernel) needs to be flashed before supersu...
The supersu systemless / system detection does not always work properly, in that case you can force supersu systemlessly by going to the terminal option in twrp before flashing supersu and type this:
"echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu" no quotes, type "false" instead of "true" in this line to force system mode...
If that doesn't solve your problems please elaborate on this again..

I haven't used LineageOS yet so I'm not familiar with its details, I was pretty sure you'd know though. [emoji106]
I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE
@Sam Nakamura.
Thanks for the info.
I have previously executed the steps in the order you posted. I was just asking if other sequences to flash these apps were plausible.
With the help of member psxda97, he documented similar steps 1-7 for me. (Please read Post #4 on this thread and my results in Post #7). It's basically a snapshot of what you posted regarding the order seq.
Unfortunately, my phone still did not root after applying the ROM, GAAP & Supersu in this order. I'm not sure why the root is declared successful in TWRP, and the phone remain un-rooted.
Do you suggest I rerun steps1-7 from Post#4 and include your echo statement before installing supersu?
The LineageOS extras, (you mentioned) has a built-in root.
I now have LineagOS from Sultanxda's installed on my phone. It is highly recommended by XDA members over the official LOS, for it's smoothness and camera enhancements. Sultanxda' release is 06/25/2017.
LOS extras has a release date of 06/21/2017. My only issues, whether to choose LOS extras. I will subsequently get the next “Official” LOS release for 6/25 and loose LOS Sultanxda installation.

@Sam Nakamura
I downloaded LOS extras from the link you provided.
Went into TWRP
Did the Install
Then rebooted.
Went back to phone\Developers Option
Root Access is still grayed out.
See screenshot attached.
Any suggestions?
Should I just do a TWRP factory reset and start over?

Did you choose the correct arm(32) version of lineageOS su? I'd try the following:
Backup all partitions with twrp so you can return to your set-up later on..
Wipe everything except internal storage
Flash rom, (custom kernel), gapps and su
Boot up and check if it's working now
If not restore your backup and check next point
Alternatively:
Have you tried superSU with forced systemless via twrp terminal (by the way, if done correctly there shouldn't fallow a output with this command line..)
Flash supersu from here:

Flashable zip via twrp, if successful go to magisk settings, and check superuser and read the rest of Magisk's potential on the linked thread, my preferred method as it allows you to hide root from certain apps which deny service to rooted devices..
Important, it's not a good idea to flash lineageOS su, then supersu, then magisk after each fails, at least restore your clean boot partition from twrp or flash the boot.img from within your rom zip... Best would be clean of course - but as you have a backup of your previous system you can play around and make errors...

Looking for the best magisk modules+recommended rooted apps

Hello guys. I make my phone rooted yesterday and i really want to improve my phone, make it change(some fingerpring and etc) and really want better battery.
Can you please help me guys?
I just can tell what i used and satisfied:
Magisk and TWRP you use already.
Viper4Audio for better audio quality if you have good headset
I changed the Kernel to Kirisakura or Arter97 (still testing which is better)
For the look i use Renovate ICE v14 (on telegram channel)
And for bloatware i use xXx No Limit v12 (and in the prop file i manually choose what i need or not / Viper4Audio and Youtube Vanced included), but you can find 2 other scripts if you need just de-bloatware (dont remember the names but you can find here), and for anti-ad i use Energizer Pro (faster than ADFly)

First of all thanks for the comment.
Ive got viperFX, this is good version?
What is bloatware if i can ask?
With Renovate you can costumise what you want? Can you send me download link please?
About adblock, i searched for it in magisk but found something else, Energised protection. Its the same or should i download something else?
One more thing. I want app systemizer to delete administrator apps but i cant download it. I also cant download xposed and etc... Why?
ViperFX is good, the newest version is 2.7 but if you have 2.5 is the same good just 2.7 is better view (material theme)
Bloatware is what you want to remove. Its come with pre-installed app with your phone (ROM), for example facebook already installed by default.
xXx No limit ROM, have a custom file called build.prop. its a text file, if you want to install, you have to install via Magisk (can be remove anytime), and you can modify the build.prop before.
What you need, what you dont need. and put the xXx ROM file and the build.prop file in the xXx directory of your internal card. Dont worry, its not a "real" rom, it will leave your OxygenOS, just add/remove extras. Same way working the Renovate. Install via Magisk, can be removed anytime. Magisk is mostly for optical tuning, like change the font or color of statusbar etc. You can see both's features in the link.

For NoLimit have newer version you can find it in OP8 topic, and RenovateIce have newer also, you can find in their Telegram channel.
this is the AD Blocker: https://energized.pro/ - you need a terminal emulator like Termux from google play.
the most popular script is Blu but the most blocked AD site is in Xtreme (slower of course but still fast). This can be download from Magisk repository (yes, energised protection)
About better battery, change the kernel to Kernel to Arter97 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7/oneplus-7-7-pro-7t-7t-pro-cross-device-kernel-development/arter97-kernel-oneplus-7-t3952578) from TWRP (it will recognise you have magisk, so nothing to do after install).
I want app systemizer to delete administrator apps but i cant download it. I also cant download xposed and etc... Why?
You can find MANY apps need root for delete system apps, but i recommend to use script, because you can recover if you make mistake.
For me the XPosed had problem (Actually the Riru -both - YAHFA and Sandhook) on my phone. So i cant tell.
I hope i could helped you.

I cant see the screenshot, but i think the two version is android 9 (Pie) or android 10 (Q). Choose which one is your OOS version.
Yes, just go to TWRP and install, thats all. You can check in settings/about after if you changed or not.
