I am at a loss.
I am crazy and like to restore to stock whenever there is a security update or anything like that just so I can remember how to flash recovery, boot images, etc.
So I had the **18-3 with the Feb update and was rooted with SuperSU ( don't recall which ) and TWRP 3.0.0-1 I believe.
When I got the notification for the new security update I promptly unrooted, and flashed the stock 24.49-18-4 / 24.221.4 firmware and am able to boot.
I have installed the latest TWRP and can boot to it, and reboot to system all I want.
I have done this process twice now because the first time I tried to install SuperSU (2.76??) after all this I got stuck on the moto logo and could not boot.
Other threads have mentioned you cannot root with SuperSu on 6.0, or something to that effect.
So I am not unrooted (I believe) on 24.49-18-4 and want to root to be able to get SuperSU and the rest of my root apps up and running.
What do I do from here?

Su 2.62-3 for root & boot up normal then flash over Su 2.76
Done.

Hi,
I lost root after updating to JWR66Y, and when I open up SuperSU, it says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
So I turned off my phone, pressed volume down+power button to go into TWRP and re-flash SuperSU.zip, but the screen only shows broken android with exclamation mark on it.
So, my question is, what do I do? I want to flash TWRP via adb and then flash SuperSU.zip via TWRP. Is that the correct procedure? I'm afraid if something goes wrong I won't have a way to restore my nandroid backup or something.
Thanks.
you always lose root if you take an ota update or flash the factory img. when you flash stock, its just that, stock. its been that way since the beginings of android.
you want to fastboot(not adb) a custom recovery, then flash the latest su binaries via your custom recovery.

To add on what simms22 said,
SuperSU 1.60 flashable zip: http://download.chainfire.eu/350/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.60.zip
So, against my better judgment, I installed the newest OTA update. I was running rooted 4.4 stock. I unrooted via the SuperSU options and installed the OTA to 4.4.2. Then I booted in recovery mode, loaded TWRP from a command prompt, and flashed SuperSU 1.80. Flash successful. BUT, then I rebooted the phone and it gave me the "Upgrading Android" notification again, just like it did when I first installed the OTA update. Then--no root. I'm assuming that it is undoing my root as soon as I reboot the phone. I tried re-flashing SuperSU and clearing the cache/dalvik before rebooting, but same result.
Help? Ideas? Alternatively, is there any decent firewall out there that doesn't require root, since that's all I need it for?
So i updated to nougat by going stock via factory image and sideloading OTA zip.
i flashed the custom boot img and twrp
i flashed the latest stable supersu (2.76)
used processes here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
boot, when i try to use root it "grants" via the toasts, but the app fails to do it's root thing. everything i've tried to do has to do with editing system files, so maybe that's it? any help would be apreciated
Hi Guys.
As the title suggests root access suddenly disappeared from my nexus 6p yesterday.
DigitalHigh rom 7.0 was flashed through the latest twrp (3.0.2-2) and everything was running fine. I got the notification that the SU binary is out of date from PHH's SuperUser. Opened it but nothing really happened. So I downloaded superSU and suddenly it prompted me that the device isn't rooted. Being unfamiliar with PHH's SU I decided to flash the latest SuperSu through TWRP but the phone wouldn't boot.
Right now it has been restored to a backup taken just before flashing SuperSU which means everything is running fine and even android pay works however there's no root access. Is there something specific that might have caused this?
Are there any ways to re-gain root?
Haven't gone through the process of a clean flash yet as the phone is needed for work however even if all of that is done the SU binary will still need to be updated. Is there a different method for updating PHH's root?
So far I have tried clearing cache etc. but noting worked.

Phhusson's superuser and SuperSU don't mix. If you're back to booted, but not rooted with Phh, you'll need to either flash one of the Nougat boot images from the nexus/angler folder or the latest superuser.zip (I think the latest is r229) from http://superuser.phh.me
Im on stock 6.0.1 rom with unlocked bootloader and TWRP 3.0.2 r5 installed.

I think the very latest version is meant for Android 7 and not MM
I was in a similar situation as you....
I updated to the October security update. Re-flashed TWRP 3.0.2 r5 and rooted using BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip. SuperSU then updated to 2.79 through the Plasy Store and after a reboot I got stuck in a bootloop. Rather than restore my TWRP backup I decided to boot to TWRP and do Reboot/System and it's worked perfectly ever since.
solo reinstala una versión distinta de super SU
