Where can I find the latest Systemless Root zip?

SOLVED. Solution in EDIT.
I'm looking for the 2.76 version of Systemless Root flashable zip.
Both the following links only contain the old ones:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63197935&postcount=2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64161125&postcount=3
Where do I find the lastest one?
EDIT: SuperSU automatically installs itself in systemless mode for marshmallow. To anyone else that had the same question: Just download the latest zip for SuperSU from ChainFire's site (The regular SuperSU zip, there isnt a different zip for systemless) and flash it.
Is this the one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133

[SOLVED] Face Unlock on Mate 8

Have anyone tried the face unlock for Mate 8 yet? i just found the thread https://www.xda-developers.com/face-unlock/#4. And it's worked for Honor 8 Pro and Huawei P10..just curious that this might be working for our Mate 8..currently i'm on rooted oreo without TWRP. so can't test it..
This is zip link https://mega.nz/#!FfxihZqD!vjF2rz0elfiay_ZYeQWwLfVG9lNI7FYAyi2vaohaiEs to flash with TWRP.
Instructions:
1. Please backup your data before proceed to next step
2. If you come from stock FW, need to unlock bootloader first (EMUI8)
3. Flash TWRP using fastboot. Link - http://www.mediafire.com/file/wlph2241d26r8k3/TWRP-Oreo.img/file. This is chinese version, you need to change the language after boot up to TWRP.
4. Need to wipe your data in order to decrypt the data. This is compulsory
5. Flash the zip in the link i've given above.
6. Walla!! now you will have face unlock in your Mate 8.

Just flash the zip you posted through twrp. Works fine.
Already tested a few weeks ago.
This is faster than going for Magisk stuff....
In fact, you can have face unlock with lift to wake up feature. So typically, you can unlock the screen with your face from when the screen is off. But it is incorporated in a couple of HRT-Lin B834 ROMs only. Zips are available but the same problem. Chinese sites. Here is the link, if you can get the download links..

ok thanks bro. so if you're from stock then you'll need to wipe data after upgraded to new FW. We need to do this until some devs can solved the decryption problem in TWRP. If you're from KangVIP it's not a problem..

No issues. Only, on B835 Kangvip, face unlock bug is there for which you need to install apk for face unlock. Rest all good.
Here is the baidu link:
https://pan.baidu.com/s/1T-dJe1WmmL5A52MRr5TUTg
I know B835 is universal. Universal means can be installed on DL,TL, CL, AL.
Here is the link for face Unlock apk: After installing, just give root permission and click on it. It will reboot and auto install and then apk will vanish.

how to root PFJMIXM

I already know that there is a post about rooting the miui 11 using fastboot and boot.img but I don't find it reliable so I am looking for a way to install root permissions using twrp and was thinking about the Russian one
Will it work or not since it's already not android 10
I, too, am curious.

Sir,
i tried all possible ways it did not work, We really we need someone to help us with rooting Samsung A51
Let's see if they can help h**ps://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/2272,
Please send logs to try to find the cause of the problem. Also asked in magisk discussion for solutions because this firmware has 2 different vbmeta imgs one vbmeta_samsung.img and another vbmeta.img.
Adb says it is treble enabled.
A working rooting method for the A51 would be greatly appreciated! I would be more than happy to donate 20 euro to the one who can help me out!
New A515F International unlock vesion just arrived. Waiting for development lol

Hey brat lol a tease is right. Awaiting the process.
Hi everyone, greetings... I'm listening, just bought the international version from indonesia.
So TWRP is coming soon. To root you need to wait for TWRP because there are 2 vbmetas
Vbmeta.img
Vbmeta_samsung.img
Vbmeta.img can be patched to allow magisk to work but Vbmeta_samsung.img cannot. To fix this you need to install a signed TWRP image with special keys. @geiti94 will sign his TWRP image to work with vbmeta_samsung.img
Hope this cleares all of your thoughts. Thank samsung for making this so complicated.

For sure you can. Writing this from rooted S20U on OneUI 4.
Just flash latest magisk canary with OrangeFox (a TWRP fork) which support OneUI 4.
Edit: My bad, you own a exynos S20.
So you can use imagepatchtools to patch your OneUI 3 boot image to OneUI 4. Then use latest magisk canary app to root OneUI 4 boot image then tar it and flash it with odin.

The imagepatchtools github is pretty well explained but I admit it's a bit complicated.
Or else would you try this modified twrp: twrp_G98X_geiti_modded_A12.tar ?
I applied the same fix as for snapdragon S20. It should avoid bootloop but you probably won't be able to mount system and vendor from twrp ui. Anyway you will be able to flash magisk which is the simpliest way to root.

No problem!
If you try this modded twrp can you give me a feedback here?
For the next beta you will have to flash back stock firmware then beta updates one after the other or patching all images using above imagepatchtools. But for stable release you will be able to download full firmware and flash it with odin.
