Lg G3 (D855) CM13 Supersu - SuperSU

Hello Chainfire,
I have smartphone LG G3 32GB (D855), as custom rom I just installed the CM13. I tried to flash through recovery TWRP SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip, but when I restarted the device went into boot loop.
Can you tell me if I should try another version, or you have to wait ??

I have the same question
...

Currently the replacement kernel needs to be bumped (searching the beta thread will give you the instructions for this). I may have a different (easier) solution in a few days, though.

Same problem here with my ONEPLUS One... Updated to the latest CM 13.0 nightly everything was perfect. Installed SuperSU "UPDATE -SuperSU v2.46. System hang at the Android character during logon. I have reloaded the CM13.0 and Gapps, reflashed those two to restore system operation. Found SU v2.62-3 I'll hold off on flashing that SuperSU until a ".. different (easier) solution..." is available. Thanks Chainfire!!!

Happy to wait!

Same problem...
There are news? :crying:

Boot Error
@Chainfire
I've also got an Boot Error after flashing SuperSU 2.65 on my D855 using CandySIX with the 777Kernel for MM. I'l try it now with 2.52 and 2.63-3 maybe it works with them.

Yeah i've got it running with root access and also permissions to /system
Just use the SuperSU 2.52. What i think is that SuperSU 2.52 doesn't patches the boot.img. And thats the point of why 2.52 works.
Our LG G3 hates it when somebody touches the boot.img

I've tried to flash SuperSU 2.52 but the phone go to loop on the cm animation boot.. :crying:

CM12 & CM13 based roms don't need SuperSU. The su support is built into CyanogenMod. You have to enable developer options and find the included root under developer options.

Everyone knows this, thanks..
the problem is that with cm13 root, some apps like Leandroid doesn't work, cause it wants only supersu.
for example, my friend with Nexus 5 cm13, has installed supersu 2.62 and he enjoys Leandroid perfectly.

nothing? :crying:

The way I got SuperSU to work on my phone was to use the SharpeningMod zip, which bumps the sytem img back for you. Just tried it on latest Cyanogenmod nightly and BETA-SuperSU-v2.66.zip.
Download the mod from http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/fix-sharpening-mod-script-1-0-beta-t2957648
Latest version is 3.5
Boot into TWRP perform a back up of your curent system just incase,
flash the latest supersu zip then flash the sharpening modzip, I selected disabled in the list and then let it do its thing.
Rebooted and Cyanogen booted with no loops.
Hope this helps anyone who wants an easy way to install.

great solution!!! it's wonderful!!!
thanks!!

Awesome!!! That was so painless...lol. Thank You! NOTE: I downloaded and installed a nightly update afterwards and ran into binary update problem again. I simply opened SuperSu settings, hit the cleanup option for new install, reboot to recovery, repeated flash of both and all went smooth. I now have SuperSu 2.62 on CM 13 NIGHTLY 01-19-16. Thanks again :cyclops:

You also can manually install update from TWRP, after than reinstall xposed Framework (if have it), supersu 2.66 and last reinstall "Sharpening-Mod-3.5".. now reboot.
enjoy!

SuperSU & CM13

Is it actually possible to make SuperSU work on CM13 without bricking your device etc?
I have spent the last 2 days googling this and reading various (mostly old, outdated) posts about how it's a bad idea or maybe not, but they are typically from 2.5x or 2.6x or earlier SuperSU versions.
My tablet, the only actively developed non-stock rom available for it is CM13. That is literally it.
However, I would like to have SuperSU features, especially compatibility with SUhide etc.
So, I am wondering if it's possible?
Do the current (2.78+) SuperSU versions play nice with CM13?
Can I just flash it in from the SuperSU app (I have bought pro version if that matters)? or Flashfire? or from TWRP recovery, whichever way is best? And, do I need to do anything else first?
Wellll, I went ahead and did it. Happy to report everything's working fine. So that's that.

Well, I downloaded the latest supersu zip (2.78), installed the supersu app from market, installed supersu pro from market (i already bought this long ago), then used flashfire to flash the zip. and it just worked. i'm using latest cm13 nightly on nvidia shield.
Got it working I downloaded "BETA-SuperSU-v2.77-20160827190633.zip" and Installed it in TWRP, systemless mode.

How do I install SuperSU in "systemless mode"? I have a google nexus 10 running the latest CM13 Release + gapps.

I used supersu-v2.78-201609011115 for my CM13 devices http://forum.supersu.com/topic/152/supersu-v2-78-release/2 the installer decide if it needs to be installed in "systemless mode" so no need to worry about that
You might need to install the SupperSU app from the store yourself.

does that work with the "official cyanogen recovery" as well, or should I install TWRP first?
...ok with the cyanogen recovery it did _not_ work, the installer said something about "patching sepolicy failed".
Any other suggestions?

Here's what I do to get my S3 going...
With the latest TWRP as always since running into issues with flashing when i had CWM quite some time ago.
There are 3 files i place in my external MicroSD...
CM13, Open Gaaps for Android 6 (i use the pico) and the SuperSU 2.78 SR1 zip file directly from the official website (though 2.76 should work).
First, when in TWRP, select wipe then advanced then the top 5 selections leaving the bottom 2 alone. When completed, hit the bottom center home selection to go into the main menu. Again, select wipe then select the data option to the right of the advanced tab you were in before. It requires you to type yes then proceed. Once that is done, go back to the main menu and be sure you do this exactly! Select the reboot and then recovery. Once your back into the TWRP recovery then select install and go to the MicroSD card with the 3 files... Now select the order of files to flash beginning with CM13 then add zip then the GApps then add zip then the SuperSU then begin the flash process. Be sure to wipe the dalvik cache then reboot the system.
SuperSU reboots it again shortly afterwards as part of its installation process.
Once your all done setting up the initial system setup you should go directly to the SuperSU app to set up what you need to.
Though my personal procedure is a bit more involved, this is as basic as it gets.
For your specific system, i can't say that i have ever even used it so please pardon me deeply if I left anything out and if someone can chime in with anything else, I'm sure it would be much appreciated.
Good luck.

Cyanogenmod 13 no longer boots (but stock does)

This just started a couple days ago. I rebooted the phone after SuperSU updated its binary, and the phone would not boot past the "starting apps" screen. I've tried everything I can think of - disabling systemless root and Xposed, upgrading CM 13, downgrading it, wiping everything and doing a fresh install, restoring stock 20i with TWRP and reinstalling CM... nothing works. It either hangs on the boot animation or the "starting apps" screen. I finally managed to get stock 20o loaded with the KDZ method and everything seems to work, but I would really like to have CM back. Can anyone help?
Same issue here, was running resurrection remix, powered off to swap battery and stuck at starting apps. Went back to stock and it works.
I had the same issue after updating the SuperSU binary following the flash of the latest nightly. Here is what I did to get CM13 back:
Flashed 20o kdz via LGUP - http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
Booted Stock Rom - Set Developer options on and enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging
Added TWRP - http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...ck-guide-h811-20-o-bootloader-unlock-t3421589
Booted Stock Rom
Reboot to Recovery
Flashed CM13 via TWRP
Booted CM13
Enabled Developer options ensured OEM unlock and Usb debugging were enabled (Debugging was for Titanium Backup). Also, extended boot menu (for ease)
Reboot to Recovery flash additional items (SuperSU, Gapps, Xposed) Note: I flashed each one individually and booted (wanted to check each for functionality after this mess)
Let me know if you have questions, I'll be happy to try and help.
Cheers!
My phone is functional again, I didn't notice originally but even with the stock flash I had no sound, sensors or camera. I ended up flashing the KDZ and reinstall RR and everything is normal again. Follow the step Surly33 posted and you should be fine.
Thanks a TON surly33 and Pantslessape !!!!
Struggled all day yesterday and half of today, trying to get it working again...
Wonder what was the problem?
I wonder if something changed in SuperSU 2.78 and we should stick with 2.76.
Thanks Surly33, I will try it and see how it goes.
I flashed CM and GApps, and all seems to be working. Gonna try it with just the stock su for now. Thanks
Worked like a charm

So I had this same problem happen to me. I happened to have a complete TWRP backup including all partitions from right after I unlocked the SIM and bootloader. I wiped everything including the SD Card then restored the backup and it's still having issues.
After restoring the backup I was able to get the SlimROM to boot but during the setup the phone locks up. I will try reinstalling Cyanogenmod to see if I encounter the same problem with that, but it doesn't seem like SuperSU 2.78 is the common denominator because I was running that version since it's release and only started having problems yesterday.
Meh Same here
Was running the nightly from 160920, had downloaded but not installed latest nightly 160930, before I had a chance to install it, phone locked up. Figured ok, maybe something I flashed? ( although last thing I flashed and or changed was on the 21st) so reflashed my previous backup of CM13 with just Cm13 installed, no extras or additions, and phone locked up again.
Stuck at the Starting apps screen.
Recharging my battery now and gonna reflash stock which Suuuuuuuuuuxxxxxxxxxxxxx :crying:
Meh dbl meh.
Anybody figure it out yet?

This happened to me when I flashed the CM 20160929 nightly on top of the 20160928 nightly. I was encrypted and I had been running SuperSU 2.78 since it released. Updating my phone to the 20o base fixed the problem and I took the opportunity to switch to the SlimROM6 port since CM decided they don't really want to get around to release a stable build of CM13 so that bug reports can be submitted. At least now I can toggle data on and off in the quicksettings pulldown. The downside is I have to re-setup all my accounts and stuff but on the upside I had been meaning to do this anyway as I encrypted and TWRP still can't decrypt properly (amongst other time zone bugs) to run backups and such.
I was on Stock 20i before I initially installed CM 13. Maybe something changed in CM 13 so that it won't boot unless Stock 20o gets installed. I know there's more to it than just the boot and system images that custom ROMs use. (I count 57 separate partitions and I have no idea what most of them do.) The Stock 20o KDZ seems to contain 27 of them.

I think there was a boot loader compatibly issue with SuperSU and 20i. But, that is just a guess.

Can't install TWRP after updating to Nougat

I recently updated my EVA-L09 to Android 7.0. Before that, I was rooted and I had TWRP. After I updated, I obviously would need to install TWRP and root again, but when I install it with SRK Tool or even with fastboot, it always goes back to stock recovery. I already tried to flash it by "recovery.img" as well.

that would be because the TWRP in SRK Tools is only for android 6 (EMUI 4.1 - 4.1.1) and not for android 7 (EMUI 5 - 5.1)
the recovery that you need to use in order for twrp to be installed is this one https://github.com/OpenKirin/android_device_huawei_eva/releases/download/3.1.0/twrp-3.1.0-0-eva.img
then once its installed boot up your phone and then type in "adb reboot recovery" and that will then boot your device into TWRP 3.1.0.0
Thank you, it worked!
Another question, but now related to SuperSU.
I am with the 2.79 version of SuperSU and I downloaded the binary .zip of this version and flashed it by twrp. The problem is that it keeps saying ""There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!".
I already got it to work. Thanks btw

By flashing the file provided in the post, I managed to automatically get access to super user (root)

Boot failure when installing ElementalX 4.20 with latest Pure Nexus and Magisk

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I clean install Purenexus 7.1.2 (latest) with the recommended gapps, let it boot and get setup. Then I install Magisk and let it fully reboot. Then I try installing the ElementalX 4.20 kernal and it won't finish booting after that. Help! I did it twice now and got the same result.

Hello,
Maybe try this way:
Install ROM and reboot to system
Reboot twrp, Install kernel first and magisk.
Reboot.
Good luck...
That seems to be working. Thanks!

Hey,
You're welcome.
As both Magisk and EXKernel alter boot.img, I guess EX needs to be installed first. If you install after Magisk, it brakes a part of Magisk modifications. Hence the bootloop. But it's just an assumption.
Cheers...
Mmmh,
I did a clean flash with ROM (purenexus_shamu-7.1.2-20170423-OFFICIAL), GApps (BeansGapps-Mini-7.1.x-20170415) - reboot and start new system.
Than I fashed Magisk-v12.0 for root and installed Magisk-Manager.
After that I flashed ElementalX-N6-4.20 (and today ElementalX-N6-4.21).
Everything runs without any issue!
Yeah I was kinda wondering what happens when I try to install a kernel update since that would be like what I was doing before.

Startup Hang after Installing Magisk v18.0

Hey, all!
Had a notification this morning for the new Magisk Manager (6.1) and Magisk (18.0) release. I downloaded both and rebooted the phone (OnePlus 2), updating from 17.3 to 18.0 directly, which had no errors during the install. Now upon startup it hangs on the splash screen. I can get into recovery (TWRP) and I have tried to flash the latest Magisk Uninstaller but I'm greeted with an ERROR 1: Error Installing zip file '/sdcard/...' - Unable to unpack boot.img
Any help here? Thanks in advance!

You can do dirty flash of your current ROM. That would simply replace the boot.img back to normal and then you can try flashing Magisk v18.0 again (if you want to)

Thanks for the response, just about to do a dirty flash of the stock ROM. My memory doesn't serve me well, is it best to wipe Cache as well as Dalvik Cache, or just Dalvik Cache?
The recovery also stays as is, right?

The same for me from 17.3 to 18.
I'm on Nexus 6 with stock ROM.

Thanks for the response, just about to do a dirty flash of the stock ROM. My memory doesn't serve me well, is it best to wipe Cache as well as Dalvik Cache, or just Dalvik Cache?

Yep the recovery should stay as it is. I would recommend wiping both Dalvik Cache & Cache. Also, do keep fastboot handy. TWRP survival really depends on the device. For my device (OnePlus 3T), the OOS overrides TWRP if no root solution is used or patched boot.img isn't used.

Weird :/
Did you check the Magisk release thread for people facing similar issues? I'm still on v17.3.
I'm really reluctant to move to v18.0 after reading such things... Moreover, I always wait for feedbacks before trying out things that play with the boot.img's & stuff, because I already got /data partition of my last device corrupted [emoji52]

Alrighty! Just went ahead and did the flash and it successfully reboots! Tried to reboot into recovery to flash Magisk 17.3 and lo and behold TWRP is still there
Guess I'll wait until there has been an update or patch of some sorts if @StreamingMT is also getting this issue, maybe there are others too. Thanks for the help @DarkSJ1998
I will try to remember that @DarkSJ1998.
I was excited to have a new update, just got reckless...
Anyways, I replied to the official thread about the details, just search through it. I just restored my phone to the way it used to...
All my saves... Gone to trash.

Hey, all!
Had a notification this morning for the new Magisk Manager (6.1) and Magisk (18.0) release. I downloaded both and rebooted the phone (OnePlus 2), updating from 17.3 to 18.0 directly, which had no errors during the install. Now upon startup it hangs on the splash screen. I can get into recovery (TWRP) and I have tried to flash the latest Magisk Uninstaller but I'm greeted with an ERROR 1: Error Installing zip file '/sdcard/...' - Unable to unpack boot.img
Any help here? Thanks in advance!

I had the same bootloop issue when I was reinstalling H2OS beta 21 in my OnePlus 5 today. I got it to boot again with Magisk 18.0 after:
1. Dirty flashing ROM. Now this is important Did not flash Magisk (yet).
2. Rebooting to Bootloader (fastboot) in TWRP (since no root, now stock recovery will reinstall).
3. Fastboot flashed TWRP. Booted to Recovery mode from Fastboot menu.
4. Flashed Magisk 18.0 in TWRP. Now this is important Only flashed Magisk, nothing else.
5. Rebooted to Recovery again instead of System to flash other stuff.
6. Rebooted system.
If course YMMV. The important thing was to not try to flash Magisk while flashing ROM.
Same here on a mi max 2, updated manager and magisk directly from app, now stuck in bootloop. im downloading my rom as im typing to restore stock boot image. will flash v17.1 instead.
I have 1 plus 5 with official H2OS and Magisk 17.1.
Today when after installed Magick 18 and reboot, it stuck at startup.
I try to flash TWRP using adb, but it give me error:
E:\Program Files\Android\platform-tools>adb reboot bootloader
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
error: device unauthorized.
This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set
Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.
Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.
E:\Program Files\Android\platform-tools>adb kill-server
E:\Program Files\Android\platform-tools>

Try 'Revoking USB Debugging' and restart the adb server. Then reinstate its authorization by plugging it back in with USB Debugging enabled. And just to check, make sure you run cmd as administrator, and ensure MTP is on.

Try flashing the uninstaller which you can get here. Then reinstall/reflash Magisk with a previous version that worked for you.

You can do dirty flash of your current ROM. That would simply replace the boot.img back to normal and then you can try flashing Magisk v18.0 again (if you want to)

It's possible only flash the stock boot.img (extracted from fastboot stock rom) with the TWRP?

I guess it's possible, but I'm not sure about that.... You can backup/restore boot.img from TWRP but I don't know if you can do this also... Do check it on the Internet.

Don't work.
The cellular boot but stops in the Miui Screen with the unlocked symbol
I tried a dirty install of the rom but don't work
I need to install a clean global stock rom to boot correctly.

Actually, Magisk does a backup of stock boot.img before patching it, which lies stored in /data as ".img.gz.zip". Haven't looked for how to restore it yet; however, assuming it's a flashable zip, it can be restored via TWRP. Should check Magisk release OP to be sure...

Doesn't look like a flashable zip too me. It stores a *.img file in it, which I think is flashable as an image from TWRP. But, I'm not 100% sure about it.
Great discovery though dude there

Hello, I do this with my Nexus 6, it's OK. Flash again Magisk (v17 not 18 for me) and all is OK for me.
Boot loop for me too after upgrading from v17 to v18 . I'm on Nexus 6. Any official information about this bug?
Fixed by installing TWRP then restored backup through TWRP and selected only boot image. I guess TWRP or me saved backup at some point, don't remember exactly. Will have to use v17 for now.
