Guys,
I made a post a couple of days ago over on the 5x forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/passing-safetynet-root-t3307659. With this permissions fix I have Android Pay working without having to enable/disable root in the SuperUser app. Hoping it will work on 6p as well.
Anyone willing to give this a try on the 6p? You would need a stock ROM (or possibly another ROM that previously worked prior to Google's recent change that broke it) with systemless root installed (I'm using 2.67). Basically all you need to do is:
-Run "adb shell"
-From the shell run "su"
-On the # prompt run "chmod 751 /su/bin/"
So far this has worked for me and a couple of others on the 5x (both adding cards and making purchases). Let me know if anyone can confirm that this works on the 6p.

I just did it with Root Explorer. I changed the permissions for the /su/bin folder to 751. SafetyNet checks are passing now, but I haven't actually tried to purchase anything.
Worked on pure nexus after setting the permissions as suggested.
yep, purenexus, systemless, updated via terminal emu, works fine as of right now.
Worked with Chroma Rom using Root Explorer to change permissions. SafetyNet checks pass. Haven't set up AP yet . Will try that tomorrow.
Worked for me. Was able to pay for groceries.
Not working for me, used skipsoft toolkit to install systemless root.
Edit: Figured it out, still had the xbin_bind folder. Made a zip backup of it and deleted the original, safetynet passes now.
I've been on Pure Nexus 1/09 build with systemless SuperSU 1.61. Never had Android Pay working.
Without doing a clean install,
flashed busybox in TWRP.
Reboot
Made the permission changes using Root Browser.
Reboot
SafetyNet passes.
Installed Android Pay, added card.
Used on soda machine.
PROFIT!!!
Thank you OP for find!

i called google and they said it might actually be a syncing issue and that removing the card completely from your account (login web browser and account settings then remove card).

I disabled SuperSU and followed directions. AP accepted my credit card and is set up. Do I leave SuperSU disabled, or can I re-enable?
Odd, no matter what I do, including disabling SuperSU, it doesn't work. Only if I full unroot. Setup is stock OS on Nexus 6P, on the latest 6.0.1 "Q" release. Set permissions to 751...no go. Even tried unrooting, reinstalling the OS, re-rooting, and setting permissions. No dice.

I did not. I must have missed that step.
EDIT: When I do that, root is no longer detected. The SafetyNet turned green, but Titanium Backup said no root. Sorry, and thanks for the assistance. Any other suggestions?
Are you sure you have systemless root?
100%. I just reinstalled 2.67 via TWRP. I've got it back now. What would you recommend I do? chmod 751 /su/bin/ and remove the xbin_bind folder again? I'm reading on reddit about moving it and symlinking. How were you able to successfully do it? Thanks again!
The contents of xbin_bind are: dexdump, su, wlutil
If deleting that folder also deletes su, then it makes sense as to why root is gone.

I'm systemless root with SuperSU 2.66. I deleted xbin_binds after I was rooted. All I did was chmod 751 (I did the same thing via ES File Explorer) and AP works for me.

I'll try again now. Using root explorer. Did you set all files inside of /su/bin to 751? Or just the folder itself.
EDIT: It worked this time! Thanks very much!!

Woohoo!
Wow this is amazing. I just made my first android pay purchase on a vending machine. Thanks for finding this method!
Just wish google won't take it from us again though.
For those who are confused, here are my steps for using Android Pay while rooted.
1. I reset my phone to factory defaults by installing all original software.
2. Unlocked the boot loader.
3. Installed TWRP, but kept it read only.
4. Installed Beta Super User 2.67
5. Through Android terminal after entering su and allowing terminal emulator root access:
6. rm -r /su/xbin_bind
7. chmod 751 /su/bin
Android Pay works, root is still active. Thanks all.

Thanks goes to #TeamWin for Temp Root
This is For Windows only, if you wish to make it work for linux or mac help your self...
Remember, This is still a Temp Root & any Changes made will be Rest back to stock on a Reboot
It's stable & works 100%
I Personally have not lost Root with this new Method
Q. I thought RW was Fixed?
A. Caused by Deleting an apk / file that was already deleted. Journaling shows it still there!
Keep Track of what you delete, as trying to delete something off system that you alread di hangs the /system into RO state.
Before Using!!HTC Sync Must be Turned OFF
Put the Phone into Charge Mode only ( Not Disk Drive )
USB Debugging Must be Turned on
What's Fixed:
Revamped due to new Method:
~ Superuser Apps now Function
~ If you Lose Root, all you have to do is Open terminal & type SU then type fixit! > No More Rebooting & running the exploit again for R/W on system to get Root back in place
~ Fixed R/O Bug!!
~ R/W is now Forced
~ /system is fully editable now! until reboot that is.
~ Busybox is installed to /vendor/bin
~ hex Edited libext4
~ hex edited libfuse.so
~~ This is the Last Update due to it working & Stable ~~

Q. Is this permanent?
A. no, it's a temp root method..
Q. Will I lose SU Access at some point while running the OS?
A. You might, but open terminal & type fixit to get root back!.
Q. What about apps that need a reboot to use superuser?
A. Use Fast Reboot form the market for app that need a reboot..
Q. Can I push & remove items to system & will it work?
A. Yes, but all changes are reset on a reboot.

OLD NEWS:
Everyone knows that currently with any temp root, you still lose links to the SU Binary & Busybox links, it's just a matter of time before it happens!!
So after digging around somewhat I found an over sight that HTC might use later for system updates via /vendor/bin, who knows at this point though... Anyways, after amount of time the SU Binary along with busybox links if be in system/bin or /system/xbin gets deleted / removed..
Now, what I did was enable the $Path to /vendor/bin which is in the Sensation export PATH..
Any Calls made from this point either be SU or Busybox don't get deleted nor touched from any App requesting the SU Binary!! I've tested this with alot of apps & the Root sticks in place..
Other than Reboot, it might as well be a Perma-Temp-Root!!
Downloading now!!! Can't wait to test it!
***EDIT***
Rooted perfectly, opened and closed Titanium Backup several times with no force closes or loss of su, Barnacle is perfect, Wireless tether is granted su but the kernel doesn't support it, screenshot gained su also but the screenshots were smeared colors. Drocap2 takes perfect screenies though. Gonna try a few more root apps before bed and play some more when I wake up to verify it lasts.
going to try this now!
Ran the script and no root
script stays on
daemon started successfully :/

What is installed?
Busybox w/ symlinks
Superuser.apk
SU Binary
Fre3vo
sqlite3
What's Removed?
slackerradio.apk
TMOUS_Navigator.apk

Is there any chance u can edit the script or tell me how to edit it so it doesn't remove anything. Thanks.
perfect works great!!! Managed to restore TB! Will try out wifi tethering right now and other su required apps! Thank you! <3
I guess I don't understand.
How is removing anything from /system/app gonna stick?
This worked perfect for me. No problems with it. Wifi tether won't work for me, but barnacle tether works perfectly. Drocap2 is taking perfect screen shots for me as well, where as before the images would be all distorted and what not.
Made some changes to the .bat since I don't necessarily want to disable all of that yet, but it works, this is the longest superuser has worked for me so far on the EVO 3D.

It won't stick, but after you reboot you run the batch program again and the apps are removed again until your next reboot.

a .bat file is just a text document that is executed in command prompt. If you are familiar with cmd just open the file in notepad, delete any commands you don't want executed, save.

Not through a full reboot....no you will have to run the batch file again (even says so in the OP). However, the other root methods would crash periodically even without a reboot or would last but not give you access to the majority of your root apps. This is the closest yet to a feasible root solution.
mine doesnt get past daemon started successfully i have usb debugging on
so if i downloaded and installed some apps that require root,
and i reboot, what happens to them ?
they will work after running the bat file again ?
or they will have to be installed again to work properly ?
thanks !
EDIT: i haven't done my due diligence (searching and reading)
but it's 5 am so i'll ask ...
what works for screen capture and for wireless tethering ?

They will work after running the .bat file again. You shouldn't need to uninstall and reinstall them. Super User may need to be uninstalled before running the .bat file again, if it gives you any force closes.

Since removing ads from browser and apps was one of the main reasons to root my DX I decided to make this tutorial. Problem is you can't just install AdAway (link) and run it because after a reboot you'll have to do it again. This method is keeping the ads away even after a reboot. Remember that you'll have to update AdAway-hosts files regularly.
All credits go to Yasir Javed Ansari. I only finetuned the method he described a little bit. Because his post is somewhere in another thread it seemed right to make a tutorial for it in the themes and apps section.
First of all you'll need a properly rooted DX with superuser 3.1.3 installed. See here for a zip to install superuser and busybox or here to download a pre-rooted 1.18 stock deodexed rom with superuser and busybux installed provided by infernal77. I'm using this rom on my DX and removed a lot of bloatware with Aroma (link) right after flashing the rom. Credits go to merovig for sharing info about flashable superuser/busybox-zip and Aroma and of course to infernal77 for providing his deodexed stock rom. Although it seems that this method shouldn't be necessary when using a deodexed rom I couldn't get it to work without using the command lines, so I decided to share it anyway.
In settings - power, uncheck 'fast boot'.
Install AdAway from Play Store. Run AdAway (don't download hosts files yet) and go to settings - preferences. Check 'allow redirections' and under 'target hosts file' select '/data/data/hosts'.
Reboot to recovery and then mount /system and mount /data.
While in recovery-mode connect the device to a PC and open a command prompt.
Type:
adb shell
cd system/etc
rm hosts
ln -s /data/data/hosts hosts
Disconnect the device from PC and reboot.
Now you can run AdAway: download files and apply ad blocking.
Done!
Nice one, added to Index.
@op, Good job.
Although my tutorial was word by word the same, apart from maybe few spelling mistakes. ;p
Above is required for Stock Rom which is rooted.
On custom and rooted Rom , you don't need to perform above steps as system is write permitted so running ad away normally works fine.
Regards
Yasir

Hehe I know, the only thing I added was the /etc
Problem is that when I install for example infernals rooted stock deodexed rom, and then I install AdAway and hosts files, they don't survive a reboot. When I redirect the hosts file to /data/data/hosts AdAway states it can't create the symlink. That's why I still use your method even on a pre-rooted rom.

This symlink method(not mine) is present in ad away FAQs. So credit to the app team.

Nice guide, first time I'm adfree, even after a reboot
did anyone get it working on desire x... mine still shows ads in apps...
I don't know, after all I'm an amateur, but the problem nightcrow described about how stuff goes back to stock after a reboot is something that happens a lot with the DX's - same thing with the bloatware. I had to remove the bloat apps from a rom.zip and flash that to avoid the problem. Seems to me there is some kind of security built in that goes beyond the norm. Otherwise I don't see why apps like Titanium work to remove apps (even after reboot) for example on most other phones, but not the DX.
Meherzad, I followed the instructions posted by nightcrow and it works for me ... try again, reboot and open an app you know normally has ads to check if it works.
Failed first time (forgot to uncheck fast boot:banghead. Reinstalled and did everything again, now works flawlesly.
ok.. working great......

I already tried that on my own. Didn't work. SU still tells me that I need to update the SU binary. Manual re root. And I AM rooted! I even wiped EVERYTHING and started over. no go. So, I'm guessing that I need to manual re root. I'll search for that binary where ever that is Oh, I went to the latest SlimBean build #2 for 4.3.1 after CM 10.1.3 and CM 10.2 refused to install on my d2usc. Now CM's Rom Manager won't work, SU doesn't work, anything that needs root access no work mahn! On the good side, everything else works fantastic, except PIE control. But I bet that has something to do with root access, so no great surprise there. I am enjoying every minute of these problems!

I had similar problem. Here is what I did -
1. Download CF-Auto-Root-d2att-d2uc-samsungsghi747 from autoroot.chainfire.eu.
2. Unzip
3. Use ODIN in the package to root.
4. Install ROM Manager.
5. Install SuperSU(Chainfire) from Play Store.
6. Open SuperSU and update SU binary. I saw a message to disable KNOX. I did it:highfive:
7. Install CWM Touch.
Then I installed other apps that need SU - Triangle Away, Titanium Backup. These apps worked fine for me. I went ahead and froze bloatware.

if you have supersu or super user already than just download update-supersu from http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip and flash it through the recovery mode( custom recovery preferred).
xprivacy / reboot to recovery
In my case I was getting false alerts as xprivacy has blocked system access. (eg was with AdAway) Cleared those apps in XPrivacy and all worked find then.
Also you can try to go into recovery and the try to reboot. You may get message to reinstate/fix SU.

s3 i9305 supersu binary problem
cbmk said:
I had similar problem. Here is what I did -
1. Download CF-Auto-Root-d2att-d2uc-samsungsghi747 from autoroot.chainfire.eu.
2. Unzip
3. Use ODIN in the package to root.
4. Install ROM Manager.
5. Install SuperSU(Chainfire) from Play Store.
6. Open SuperSU and update SU binary. I saw a message to disable KNOX. I did it:highfive:
7. Install CWM Touch.
Then I installed other apps that need SU - Triangle Away, Titanium Backup. These apps worked fine for me. I went ahead and froze bloatware.

I know this is an old problem and has been answered many times, i have read all thepossible ways to fix it and i have tried, over and over but I'm missing something.
Please help.
I rooted with Supersu, it worked for 2days then stopped. Now all the root apps can't work and i have tried everything to make it work, to no avail. Here is a copy of my Root hecker:
Root access not properly configured or granted.
Superuser Application Status
Installed: SuperSU by Chainfire - version 2.46
System Files Status
Standard Location
Command: ls -l /system/xbin/su:

Setting stored in /default.prop and configured as: ro.secure=1
Additional: System Environment PATH Status
System Environment PATH: /sbin /vendor/bin /system/sbin /system/bin /system/xbin
_----------------------
So my device is rooted, but i don't have permission. Tried to copy .su file from xbin to bin, not possible.
Uninstalled reinstalled, unrooted rerooted, reinstalled SuperSu from playstore.
Made sure no double superuser programs running.
Got rid of Knox.
Tried to custom install Supersu update, says invalid certificate.
I believe if i can copy the .su file in \xbin to \bin the permissions wil be there. Bought Rootbrowser but error when copying. Or give permission on file SetUID.
Can't run Bootbox cause didn't install before root stopped working. Also Titanium backup stopped working now.
Any ideas how to fix? Don't want to factory reset. Can't be to difficult to fix.
PS. If this post is i wrong place please advise where itshould be.
Thanks

I can't find my phone as one of the packages. I have an Alcatel phone.
root my mobile but didn't get access
rooted my phone micromax a116, all proccess done wel as shown in tutorials. But root checker says that "root access is not properly installed on this device". Please tell me what to do?
I rooted my strange tablet using Kingo and apparently it was succesful:
http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/t539/talos910/Screenshot_2015-09-11-17-08-20_zpsurdgzj8p.png
But I have been trying for days to erase a file in /system and I have not been able to do it, I think I have read every relevant thread about this problem but no luck, I tried using ES and changed /system to r/w in the root options but when trying to delete the file all I get is operation failed, the same happens with all the other root explorers and tools. I even tried the solution on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/help/edit-replace-write-files-set-immutable-t2884172
but still can't delete it.
Also the app root toolkit for android gives me this weird error too:

Do you have an app like root explorer that specifically asks for root permissions? It doesn't matter if you have root if the explorer can't use it

Yes all the file manager apps I used always ask for root permission, that is the problem they have root permission but still can't delete the file, which is weird because I can use apps that definitely need root like scr screen recorder and greenify just fine.
Try installing root explorer and then attempt to delete the file, then it should instantly open a window asking for root. The of course grant the permission. That should always work, but if it doesn't just restart the tablet, if it still doesn't work it must mean you are deleting a file that is in use by the system. Otherwise i have no idea whats wrong

Rooted my device using kingo root, I didn't intall other recovery.
Bad idea to try and remove system files without a custom recovery and a nandroid backup made and stored in a safe spot. What are you trying to remove?
I am trying to delete /system/sbin/su because I read in another thread this was the solution to fixing the issue of the app supersu not updating binaries when rooting your device using Kingo.

That is the binary. If you remove it, you wouldn't be rooted. Can you link the thread you are looking at? There's an app made specifically for replacing that su binary with SuperSU and it's binary called Super-SUme, though I believe it is a paid app.
I know it is the binary but according to this guy:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/support-update-failures-t2907365/page23
(post 223)
""It appears kango wrote to /system/sbin/su whereas supersu wrote /system/xbin/su and subsequently supersu would keep wanting to update 'su' then fail.
The long and the short of it is once I manually removed /system/sbin/su supersu stopped telling me 'su' was outdated. I don't know android but I do know linux.
$PATH on my tablet has /system/sbin/ prior to /system/xbin/ so it would appear supersu is issuing 'su -V' as opposed to '/system/xbin/su -V' when it checks the version. The kingo 'su' was older than the supersu 'su'.
Dunno what the solution is 'cos the older 'su' is going to get called first & I figure there's nothing but trouble to be gained from changing $PATH globally. Nevertheless it might be enough to check $PATH for unwanted 'su' and flag them, possibly offer to remove them? In my case I renamed it "/system/sbin/su.ORIGINAL" so that it's still runnable in an emergency"""
If you rename it, it won't be able to run, and won't require removal.
That's the thing I can't rename the file either for some reason. Using es and other root explorers doesn’t work.

Seems like the SU binary that Kingroot included is pretty finicky and only works for some things. I've rooted 100s of devices and have never had issues like that. Have seen complaints about other various oddities with Kingroot too. It's nice that it's easy and works on a variety of devices, but if you have only limited control then that kind of defeats part of the purpose of rooting it...
Tried using SuperSUme but the app says I am not rooted with Kingo? wtf? Do you guys know of any other reason why i can't erase the system file sbin/su?

With Root Explorer, does it let you set the system to R/W? There's a little button at the top of the app that will say R/O or R/W for Read Only or Read Write. If you don't have R/W to the system, then you are unable to make changes to it.
I just renamed file su and then it became able to be deleted.

Connect your android tablet device to your windows computer. Then enable usb debugging on your android tablet. Then open the windows program called cmd. Then do these commands.
Code:
adb root
Code:
adb remount
Code:
adb shell rm /system/sbin/su
Just bought the service and it seems rooted phones are blocked. I searched a bit and found some workarounds on other devices. Anyone got this working on OP2 w/ CM14.1? Thanks in advance.
alright hear is the solution for cm:
1)download es or any root explorer
2)go to /system
3)go to /system/bin find su and rename it su1
4)go to /system/xbin again find su and rename it to su1.

Thanks for the response. Gave this a shot, but no go via ES. Cleared cache on the app, re-installed, etc. Still getting the Error 40 or QP1005.

did you root via superSU or stock cm root?

I'm a total noob on this. Not 100% sure. I had followed a cookie cutter guide a while back when I put on 14.1 from stock. Is there a way to confirm? I want to say stock cm, but not sure.
if its stock cm then this method should work because It will bypass Google pay or pokemon go no big deal for this one.
try to install any new root apps is it says privacy guard while you grant permission then it's cm root and this procedure should work, if its not CM's then might have to remove any other su binaries(like SUPERSU, PPHSU, etc) .
