[Guide]Flash Root/Xposed - Differences between System and Systemless Mode

Because several Users have problems with understanding what they actually should do i think the easiest way is writing some How-to.
Guide for Unlocking Bootloader Backup TA and so on
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES THAT MAY CAUSE YOUR DEVICE
Your Bootloader must be unlocked and TWRP recovery installed.
1. Systemless Root/Xposed
Systemless Mode means that there is no File changed in your System Partition, this works because the main changes are made in the Kernel and not to the Android System itself. Because of this you have a special file on your Internal Memory in /data/ for Systemless Root you get a su.img file and for Systemless Xposed you get a xposed.img file. If you have both sure there are both files present. These files are loaded while your device is booting before the Android System is booting. This is good for us because we can easily Update our Systems (on same Rom).
1.1 Download latest beta-superSU/systemless xposed framework and place them on your sdcard.
1.2 Reboot into recovery and flash beta-superSU/systemless xposed framework (if both, in that order)
1.3 clear cache/dalvik
1.4 reboot
2. System Root/Xposed
With System Mode your changes are direct on the System Partition and mostly Updates dont work.
2.1 System Root is not available for our Device with MM. Download latest beta-superSU/xposed Framework and place them on your sdcard.
2.2 Reboot into recovery and flash beta-superSU/xposed framework (if both, in that order)
2.3 clear cache/dalvik
2.4 reboot
3. Change your Kernel while having a Systemless modified Android
Because the changes that were made while flashing Systemless Root/Xposed, your System wont work with just flashing the new Kernel.
3.1 Download the new Kernel to your Computer (make sure it is with TWRP or you flash it seperate after flashing the Kernel).
3.2 Download latest beta-superSU/systemless xposed framework and place them on your sdcard.
3.3 Reboot your device into fastboot mode and flash the new Kernel "fastboot flash boot xxxx.img"
3.4 Reboot your device into TWRP and flash beta-superSU/systemless xposed framework (if both, in that order)
3.5 clear cache/dalvik
3.6 reboot
4. Switch between System and Systemless Mode
For Switching from System Mode to Systemless with Xposed:
4.1 Update or install Material Design xposed installer App
4.2 Download the usual xposed uninstaller zip and the systemless xposed framework for your device
4.3 Open Material Xposed Installer and deactivate the framework
4.4 Reboot into recovery
4.5 Flash the uninstaller zip
4.6 clear cache/dalvik
4.7 Flash systemless xposed framework
4.8 reboot into System (take a few minutes)
4.9 Open Material Xposed Installer and activate Systemless Xposed framework
4.10 reboot
5. Delete / uninstall Systemless Root/Xposed
5.1 Open Material Xposed Installer and deactivate the framework
5.2 restart your System
5.3 Use an Explorer with root access and delete the files "/data/su.img" and "/data/xposed.img"
5.4 restart your System
If i forgot something please tell me i will add it.
Regards

make this for locked bootloaders :/

Can you please provide the link for systemless xposed file??

MAGISKSU for Magisk users

So as we all know magisk does not root nonrooted or supersu rooted devices (atleast not my devices) so here is simple method to gain MagiskSU Root access and possibly hide your root.
Note: i will use phh's superuser which was used in magisk before.
COMPATIBILITY:
ANDROID 7.x -- Not confirmed
ANDROID 6.0.1 -- Confirmedly working!
1) DOWNLOAD PHH'S SUPERUSER https://superuser.phh.me/
2) BOOT INTO RECOVERY AND FLASH DOWNLOADED ROOT ZIP AND MAGISK IF NOT FLASHED ALREADY
3) REBOOT AND ENJOY

MagiskSU works just fine without flashing anything else for me

Ok so this is not the correct procedure for getting Magisk to work, this is exactly how it's done in my case at least.
1. Flash a rom of your choice ( in my case it was viper rom on the HTC 10, rooted with SuperSU, I have an international unlocked device with S-Off)
2. Extract the boot.img from your ROM ( in my case it was in the root of the rom's zip file)
3. Copy the boot.img to your Fastboot folder on your computer.
4. Install Magisk Manager and download Magisk 12.0 zip to your phone.
5. Reboot to download mode and then: fastboot flash boot boot.img allow it to flash, press power to come out.
6. Without rebooting, boot to recovery and flash the Magisk 12.0 zip.
7. Reboot and check the 3 sections to see if MagiskSU has been locked in, no warning should come up when activating Magisk hide.
Done.

How to change Superuser without flash stock ROM and lose all data

Does anybody know if it's possible to change Superuser without having to flash stock ROM?
I'm on stock 7.0 and when I tried to install SuperSU I've got a bootloop​ (wrong version of SuperSU, there wasn't the wright version available yet) so I found a guide to root my device using another supersu (phh superuser) and it's working perfectly.
I wonder if there is a way to change from Phh superuser to SuperSU (now there's a compatible version with 7.0 available) without having to flash stock ROM again and lose all the data.
(Sorry if there's a thread already talking about that but, if there is, I didn't find it)
There's a screenshot of the superuser app

Supersu installation using twrp
To install supersu you need twrp. You have to use systemless mode to install supersu. For systemless mode goto twrp then advanced>terminal
Type:
echo "SYSTEMLESS=true" > /data/.supersu
Then install Supersu.zip.
For latest supersu visit official supersu download page.

Systemless xposed for android oreo 8.0/8.1

I can't able to flash xposed zip file via TWRP for oreo 8.1 so i used this magisk method and its working on 8.1 aosp rom.
Recognized Contributor @topjohnwu has modified the*Xposed*Framework (V.85.1) to work alongside Chainfire's*systemless*SuperSU in order to also run without modifying the*system*partition. This means that you can install*Xposed*modules on a rooted device running the stock ROM and continue to receive OTAs
And can pass safety net check so u can use any root app which interfere in system.
