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 basicly I just want to upgrade my TWRP version (from 2.6.3.2 to 2.6.3.3+) in order to flash new kitkat roms.
But I have 2 issues:
1) I have rooted my device and installed TWRP 2.6.3.2 on my LG stock rom, then I wanted to change rom, so I wiped all but internal storage and flashed Beanstalk 4.4.2 + GAPPS. Now it looks like there's a problem with my root access (root checker says that there is a problem and superSU won't install binary updates). Recovery works fine. Do I need to root my phone again or what? Can I just do these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887 all over again?
Edit: Ok, After flashing http://download.chainfire.eu/376/SuperSU/, I just needed to deativate supersu and reactivate it. Now it works just fine!
2) I wanted to upgrade my TWRP using FreeGee, but it looks like the app couldn't load without root access (Issue 1). So can I upgrade it with just doing these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670 all over again?
Sorry for the long questions.
Thanks
Download the zip file for twrp. Boot into recovery and install the zip

It looks like lot of people are trying to install the lastest SuperSU flashable zip through TWRP and they are being stuck at the bootloader screen.
The issue is in the SuperSU updater script , which can't detect the system and is trying to install root in system mode (it should use systemless mode)
For those users who are stuck at bootloader logo after flash supersu, is necessary to reflash stock rom and flash this SuperSU:
View attachment SuperSU-v2.78-201609011115_systemless.zip (I've edited the updater-script to force systemless install :angel
After flash this (updated to 2016-09-01), all updates can be installed directly from the store

Yes you can apply ota update via twrp recovery. For this just follow following steps(On your own risk) by the way following method worked for me to apply latest 5.8.0.19s update.
1) Download the latest ota update it should be located here (internal storage/data/com.letv.android.ota/files/otaUpdates) folder.
2) There should be a zip file just cut and paste it in root folder for easy process.
3) Now boot to TWRP recovery and flash zip file which is pasted in root folder.
4) Now format dalvik cache and if you want root, then root again because due to flashingnew rom root access and all other changes you have done in system will lost but all your data will be safe... (This method is usefull for same type of rom i.e. from stock rom to stock rom or custom rom to custom rom).
5) Just for your knowledge 5.8.0.19s update file is full rom file but if you want other versions such as 5.8.0.16s then use offline update packages which are full size i.e. around 1.7 gb.
Also you can flash root since twrp comes with inbuild root tools just locate it in twrp recovery in advanced/tools/root.
Also you can install stock rom just after flashing stock rom in place of any custom rom just wipe data and factory reset and then apply root. and reboot normally.

Go to below link, download and flash latest fastboot ROM.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6t-t3862516
If that does not work, use MS tool to recover phone to factory state.
Thanks this worked for me. Was freaking out a little. The scene has really changed since I've been here.

As an FYI, in order to root on this phone, assuming you are using Magisk (recommended) you will need to:
Unlock bootloader
Install custom rom (Optional step, but also recommended)
Then flash TWRP zip (This phone, TWRP is part of the boot.img)
Boot the phone
Reboot to recovery
Install GAPPS (OpenGAPPS Stock recommended personally, but any should work)
Then flash Magisk

Custom rom is not required for root

Correct. I edited my comment to reflect that, however since OP installed a custom rom, I put the step in since I figured he would have asked about it.

Ok so my phone currently is bootloader unlocked and rooted with magisk. So if I want to install a custom rom I flash in twrp, then flash twrp (while still in twrp), boot phone, reboot to recovery, flash gapps then flash magisk?
read the OP in any custom rom you want to flash, and the dev will have the details on how to flash..

Essentially. Each custom ROM is differrent, so make sure to read the OP of each custom ROM you try to confirm flashing instructions but that's the **general** flashing method I use. Magisk is overwritten with each flash because Magisk installs to the same partition as the kernel.
