So I used the rooting guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996389 and found a different superuser/busybox package to use. (don't remember the link right now).
However, whenever I open SuperSU to try to update it, it says installation failed or just reboots. And if I try to use root things for AdFree, it can't find the partition or just restarts.
Is anyone else having this problem or is there a different SU package I should use? My bootloader IS unlocked.

Ive been using ViperDNA which comes with what seems like a custom SuperUser type of all in it.
But when I origionally rooted my phone, i seem to remember having an issue with SuperSU, and the first time i rooted i said screw it and just installed Superuser without any problems. The second time i rooted, i Installed SuperSU, then had to download Superuser form the Android Market, to update the binary, which updated it for SuperSU, and that solved my problem.
When you try to open an app that needs to use root access, do you get the notification asking for permission?
perhaps the "other" superSU/busybox package that you used didn't properly do what it needed to do?
I see the link on that tutorial is broken, fortunately i have the file that i originally downloaded form that very same tutorial saved to my hard drive, and now uploaded to DropBox if you would like to download it and try flashing this zip while in recovery to see if it gives you a proper root.
I would recommend downloading the above file, and flashing that to see if it helps. I'll try to remember to check back here to see if you posted anything in reply, but let me know if it doesn't work. Ill try to help as much as I can

I installed your package, and get the same errors before in SuperSU. It wants to upgrade but then force restarts whilst trying.
I then tried the Superuser app by Chainsdd, and I make a little progress?
First, when I try to upgrade, it asks for root from SuperSU and Superuser. Since SuperSU came with the busybox package, I can't uninstall it.
When I first go to the updater, it shows me this: (See attachment 1, I can't do links :S)
After I upgrade it, I am left with this screen: (see attachment 2)
It looks like it reverts back to su v .98 from 1.02?
Either way, as soon as I hit lets do it again, the phone restarts. Did I screw up the unlock/root somehow? In the top left of my fastboot screen it shows ***TAMPERED*** and ***UNLOCKED***
I am using CWM 6.0.2.1

It's difficult for me to troubleshoot when i haven't had to fix this problem since december haha.
The tampered, and unlocked is standard that is what it shows for everyone who unlocked the boot-loader.
So let me get this straight,
Do me a favor, un-install Superuser, download RootChecker from the market by JoeyKrim, And run it, what does it say?
->When you run it, did it ask for permission from SuperSU?
With just the SuperSU installed, if you run a program that requires root permission (For example, RootChecker), Nothing shows up asking if you want to Allow/Deny?
->When you open SuperSU to update the binary, it fails to update and restarts the APP?
With the SuperSU/BusyBox package flashed, when you install Superuser from the android market and try to update the binary, it *appears* to revert back to an older version of the binary?
-> After updating the binary through Superuser (despite the appparent reversion), if you un-install Superuser, and try to run RootChecker, does it work?
Sorry, i know it is a lot and i'm not much help, i'm troubleshooting blindly and from a distance haha.

you need to install a kernel with /system writing enabled. Such as lk's or cubed
htc has a line wrong in their code and it makes it so that /system cant be edited while booted into android, only while in recovery. Installing a kernel that fixed this bug will let you use supersu from the play store and other apps such as adfree which need to edit system files to function

Even with a writeable kernel SuperSu gives a hiccup at first. Download SuperUser, update the binary of SuperSu, then uninstall SuperUser. SuperSu will be fine after that.

Quite a few of us running a version of Supercharged Hatka had problems when they switched to SuperSu,but now they switched back to SuperUser and the problem hasn't reared its head.
Hi there,
I've finally accomplished to unlock und root my device. Now I'm trying to install Viper4Android, but the drivers aren't working. Tried to install SELinuxModeChanger, but that didn't work as well.
Any ideas on this?
install kernel adiutor and use selinux tool from there, it works for me

Ahh, had to search for this option a little bit, but it works like a charm! Thank you.
For the rest: you find it under "Plugins"
Update: well, it doens't work anymore for somehow.
Seems like that apply on boot doesn't work sometimes?
Search for lolliviper here on xda and flash through twrp, it will work with enforcing selinux, no other "tweaks" necessary.
EDIT: you can also take a look here

Download their official app for android 5+,
But you need permmissive she Linux mode so get the selinux mode changer and change it to permissive. Install the viperfx app and install the driver

Thanks, works really fine
What I Did
1. I flashed the decrypt kernel for the N Beta through ADB
2. I did a factory reset to finish the decrypt process
3. I booted into TWRP using ADB (I did it this way to keep stock recovery, you can just flash TWRP if you like)
4. Once in TWRP, though ADB I typed "ADB Shell"
Then typed "echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu"
Followed by "echo BINDSYSTEMXBIN=false>>/data/.supersu"
5. I proceeded to flash the latest Supersu Beta
6. Set up Android Pay and profit!
It is pretty much the exact process for Android Pay with Systemless root, but you do HAVE to have decrypted or else this will not work.
Screenshots or It Didn't Happen
Do you mind linking the decrypt kernel?
it simply works if you are stock and systemless rooted.

Yes exactly, but for now, there is no way to root unless you decrypt first

I am system rooted with BusyBox and V4A installed and SELinux permissive on DP3. I haven't tested Android Pay, but I was able to add a card without a problem. Is that indicative that it should work? I had the opportunity to test it today but didn't.

From my experience, if you successfully add a card then it works. Usually prevent you from adding a card. I also use Safetynet Helper Sample and make sure it passes

Guy in the N development thread showed AP working for him and he is system rooted as well. Probably a bug... but it'd be nice if Google were allowing rooted users to use AP since they know we find workarounds anyway.

That guy was me. Passes safety net fine. All I did was root and added the card. Not sure probably a bug that will be fixed. Until then I'll enjoy not having to make any extra steps.

No, I think the SuperSU I used in the video is for AW 1.5. You can try just make a backup before you do it
but the recovery should work with AW2.0 ?!

Correct
I confirmed that the recovery still works with AW2.0. The SuperSU and busybox zip fails to flash. I flashed the latest stable SuperSU zip and it flashes completely, but the SuperSU app does not open and the watch hangs up when asking for root. I flashed the latest Stericson busybox zip, but obviously I can't test if it installed without su.

That's really odd. Are you running a stock ROM? How much free space do you have? Can you flash busybox?
Stock, wiped, stock, still nothing.

I have the same problem with AW2.0. Root works after flashing the latest SuperSU but the SuperSU app itself won't open.

Zip from this post did the trick.

It appears the issue stems from the filesystem being squashfs. I've dealt with squashfs in the past, and it doesn't allow modification due to it's structure. The system needs to be un-squashed, modified, then re-squashed. There is a ROM for the LG watch where the developer converted it to ext4, but that requires editing partitions on the watch. I'm considering converting this to ext4, but I'm not thrilled with the idea of a hard brick.
Hmmmm very very strange, after some reboots the twrp recovery is gone.
The watch boots in the stock recovery.
Is it because this is an 1.5 version?

If bootloop happens: boot to TWRP (you WILL need that) and disable EdXposed/Taichi. To do that, go to terminal and type 'cd /data/adb/modules', followed by e.g. 'touch EdXposed/disable' (beware: you need to check the correct path).
I would always try EdXposed first, because it is open source.

Looks like I'm good to go. Does this look right to you? Just wondering about the three instances of Riru listed. What worries me is that I have two 'optimize' lightning bolts at the top of the manager app. Just checking to be sure.
Also, this is probably an obvious answer, but I presume that Xposed modules like Xprivacy should be installed via the EdXposed Manager, yes? I've learned to not take anything for granted with mods like this.
Thanks!

Looks excellent. I think you can delete the Edxposed entry with no further text.
Those two 'Optimize' buttons.. yea, dunno. I think they're explained in the EdXposed thread, can't remember. But they're normal.
Installing of modules works either way: via Manager, download-and-install, or installation via Playstore/F-Droid/you-name-it.
