Hi, I have root my device by TWRP & then supersu.
I am wondering if I odin the stock recovery only, will I be able to keep the root?
Thank you.

Yes, but it's rather pointless and has zero benefit?

Hello, I have a noob question about TWRP. After I unlock the bootloader and download the adb program onto my PC, can I then install TWRP which will also root the phone? No need to do anything else to achieve root? Where does the SuperSU app come into play? Thanks.

When you reboot to system from TWRP, it will notice that you're not rooted and ask you if you want to root. (Default is yes!) It will put a copy of SuperSU on your device. Reboot, run SuperSU and it will ask you to upgrade. Let it do so using the "normal" method. (I don't think the update via recovery option is working on this phone.)
Okay, thanks. So SuperSU is what roots the phone?
Hey guys,
I am trying to prepare my Nexus 9 to receive root (when that happens) and I was wondering if unlocking the bootloader will suffice for the time being? That means it will wipe it once, and I can start using my Nexus 9 without worrying of wiping it in the future.
Then it means as soon as TWRP comes out with a version that supports Nexus 9 I just need to flash that (no need to wipe device) and then flash SuperSU (no wiping either)
Am I missing something here?
You're right but...
Hey ombadboy
I think this will work. Don't forget to enable the oem unlock in the developer settings before. Otherwise your try to unlock will fail. Maybe you shouldn't flash the first versions of twrp, because this will be the first one for Lollipop und encrypted storage. Just boot the image once and flash superSU. So you will still get OTA updates.
After unlocking you should be able to root without losing your data twice.
After a few time and if there are no more OTAs in the near future you can flash a stable TWRP image.

See the guide here. http://www.theandroidsoul.com/unlock-bootloader-nexus-9/
Thanks for the replied guys. Yes, that's exactly what I did; now I have an unlocked bootloader.
So if I understood this well, can I get root without flashing a custom recovery? If so, what's the purpose of flashing one?

The purpose of having a custom recovery is to flash custom roms.
Here's some info for root

Recovery allows you to flash anything to device without doing manually with root explorer, adb or fastboot. Can do most anything you can do with recovery with these 3 tools.
Today I've flashed the recovery with TWRP to install SuperSU.
Is there any possibility of installing the stock recovery to be able to install Android updates normally again without losing all data and SuperSU?
You sir, are not alone with this question. Been eagerly looking for an answer for the same question..

I can't find anything for the G5, only for other phones.
The only option I currently know of is to flash the whole KDZ and then install TWRP and SuperSU again. Is there another way?
As long as the system is modified in any way, the only way to install ota updated is through LGUP because before applying the update there is a system integrity check ran and if that fails you will most likely get into bootlops or worst
Here is what I did to get a 10D rooted system
Thank you @gwolfu.
How Can i sign a modified Update.zip?
Where to get/ extract the Keys?

Are you trying to flash through the stock or custom recovery?

The Stock.

It's not going to work through stock recovery. You won't be able to sign it the way you'd need.
If you're already rooted then you might look into Flashfire to install zips. I would make sure you have access to the original firmware and flashing tool to recover the phone if something goes wrong.
If you aren't rooted and the bootloader is unlocked then you might be able to build TWRP if it's not already available.
I have a pocophone f1 which I attempted to root.
I already unlocked it using my MI account with MI unlocker on windows.
I installed TWRP 3.2, as well as SupersU.zip in TWRP.
I go and check root access using various root checker apps from playstore but i have no root access. One of them says that my supersu $Path does not contain a binary.
I tried uninstalling superSu using the supersSu uninstaller.zip in TWRP and then attempted flashing magisk, but i got the error about patched boot image. I wiped everything and then flashed stock global ROM for miui 11. Still i get the patched boot image when trying to flash magisk.
Any ideas?
Follow this

Just uninstall SuperSU root and root again with magisk! There is unroot option in the SuperSU app which you have to use or:

@Silvershot
My POV: Noone needs to install TWRP to root phone's Android.

It's clear that something has gone very wrong. Instead of wasting time with troubleshooting, I recommend that you restore the phone to its original state via re-flashing its Stock ROM and when that's done retry to root its Android the proper way.
FYI: Once TWRP got installed on phone, you can't get rid off of it unless you re-flash phone's Stock ROM.

If you flash phone's Stock ROM then neither Magisk nor TWRP is existing , you can't run either of them ...

I could but I don't want to: IMO you simply didn't get it - you do anything without questioning the meaning.
Happy fiddling around with Magisk etc.pp.

You don't have to disable encryption to use magisk. Atleast I think from my experience.
This is the step-by-step tutorial.
1. Flash this global stock miui with TWRP. https://c.mi.com/in/miuidownload/detail?device=1700355 (if this is not the official ROM please correct me, there are a lot of fakes there)
2. Flash Magisk with TWRP. Download and flash it from this github repo. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT FROM ANYWHERE ELSE!
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
3. Reboot
