v2.76 released !
Download: UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip
(Google Play release later today by CCMT)
Changelog: post #3
Notes:
CCMT is starting to take over development, and will soon also take over support in these XDA threads as well. The ZIPs linked from the XDA threads for download from my server (chainfire.eu) have always been checked, built and uploaded by myself. It may well be that v2.76 is the last version where this is the case.

SuperSU v2.71 BETA released, CF-Auto-Roots updated
Really isn't much to mention about this, other than that all the changes for N Preview have been merged with the main BETA releases, where they were two separate releases before.
Additionally, all CF-Auto-Roots have been updated with the new version, and a lot of them have seen base firmware updates as well.

TWRP updated for final Nougat release - see post #2
Alternatively use CFAR by unzipping the CFAR file on a computer and with your device attached (bootloader mode), run the script.

New York Cheesecake - NYC
But just as it did with KitKat (Key Lime Pie), Lollipop (Lemon Meringue Pie), and Marshmallow (Macadamia Nut Cookie), Google has an internal name for N: New York Cheesecake. The code name's initials "nyc" are showing up in the AOSP repository in a few instances, just like klp, lmp, and mnc did before them.

First Android N OTA Update Is Already Rolling Out To Beta-Enrolled Devices
First Android N OTA Update Is Already Rolling Out To Beta-Enrolled Devices
Factory Images are available from here (Build NPC56X)
Will link to OTA zips, if and when they come available.
As I haven't updated to Android N yet, don't know if current root methods will still work on this build.
Corvida said:
Just want to note that FlashFire worked just fine for taking the latest N Preview OTA. I upgraded to the new SuperSU first, saved the OTA file and flashed with FlashFire. Now running the latest N beta with root. No issues thus far and only took a minute or two.

Android N Developer Preview 2
Used Chainfire's FlashFire app to Flash N DP2 to my Nexus 9 wifi last night.
Was on 6.0.1 beforehand.
Just Flashed Boot, Vendor and System Images.
The FlashFire app successfully rooted my device in the process.
Latest TWRP still boot-loops on Encrypted Nexus 9.

ElementalX-N9-5.00 for N - DP2, now available.
As TWRP is not working properly on encrypted Nexus 9 ( N-DP2), the easiest method to Flash it, is to use Chainfire's FlashFire app.

Successfully Updated to N - DP3 - NPD35K
Successfully Updated to N - DP3 - NPD35K on my Nexus 9 using flashfire to flash factory images and root.
Device is successfully rooted.
But bad news is that FlashFire can not flash zips now (ElementalX, Adaway sytemless host).
It just gets to the spinning logo and stays on that screen. Chainfire is aware and working on fixing it.

So if your updating with flashfire, apply any zips at the same time as your updating.
Or alternatively temporarily boot twrp (Still not fully functioning on N), and use that to install zips from OTG, or via adb sideload in advanced.

Thanks ! I'm now on DP1 with TWRP installed and encrypted device, so to flash DP3 and root it without installing TWRP, I just need to flash DP3 firmware package if I do well understand ?

---

@TheLonelyCyborg I used FlashFIre to flash DP3 over DP2. So to answer your question. You should be able to do the same coming from DP1.
Since your encrypted, TWRP doesn't function on N. So no point flashing it. I just temporarily boot if I need it. "fastboot boot <name of twrp.img>"

Cool man :good:
I don't want TWRP, but I had it work on DP1 with no problem and encrypted (and no special kernel also), so maybe there's a trick for those who want it.
Btw FlashFire roots automaticaly the device, or we have to flash superSU zip ?

TWRP working on Nexus 9 DP1 (since where on Nexus 9 forum), I choose not to install that version of N.
FlashFire app will automatically root in the process.

Ok Well it worked but with FlashFire we don't have permanent root don't we ? So we can not use the classical version of adaway for example ?
Well at least I am rooted without having to install TWRP, thanks for your post !

Yes you have a permanent root, same as flashing supersu in twrp.
Just a systemless root, but you can still modify the system if you need to (eg: - xposed)
For AdAway there is systemless hosts file available.
But as Flashfire is currently broken in DP3 (Chainfire is working on it).
You may need to temporarily boot TWRP to flash the adaway zip.
"fastboot boot <name of twrp.img>"
Install the zip from OTG or by sideloading it.

Ah cool I did not know we could boot temporarily on TWRP with fastboot.
So I did what you said by sideloading the adaway.zip, and it worked well.
If it can help someone else.
Thanks !

for me boot temporarily in twrp doesn't work, i have recovery bootloop, so how can root ?

If you let it bootloop for awhile it will eventually load. Then sideload the supersu zip or install from OTG.
Or alternatively use the CFAR method to root.

Cfroot work also with new developer preview?

It was last updated for Android N DP1, may not work on this version. But try it and let us know.
Edit: - CFAR was updated 19 May 2016, even with the website listing it as for an earlier version.
