Does it support systemless root?

[yilksd]

Several months ago Samsung note 5 needs custom kernel to root ,but then Chainfire's SuperSU provides a feature called "systemless root" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64161125&postcount=3), which can root note 5 without custom kernel .Does this Superuser support it ?

Yes it supports system-less root since october. Though the relevant part is in https://github.com/phhusson/super-bootimg

This page says I can just flash twrp then flash SuperSU.zip to root my note 5 with systemless root feature . I flashed twrp-2.8.7.1-nobleltezt.img using heimdall ,and then I stuck in boot loop.I could enter twrp and download mode ,but could not boot normally .Then I entered twrp and flashed your superuser.zip ,but I got only "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" on start up screen top .Still boot loop .
Can you provide some extra information to help me root my note 5 ? Thanks .

Edit the zip's config.txt, change eng to user

Just changed "eng" to "user" in the zip's config.txt ,and then flashed the superuser.zip .Still boot loop and "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" on start up screen top .
Do I need to flash stock rom before flashing the new superuser.zip ?

[phhusson]

Well you just need to restore boot.img to its state before having applied my superuser.zip
Do you have a link to the kernel sources?

[yilksd]

When you boot into twrp for the first time ,it will ask you if you want to keep the system partition read-only . I chose "no" when I booted into twrp ,then I tryed to boot normally and got boot loop . I think this was the reason .
Then I restored everything and flashed twrp again. When twrp asked me ,I chose "yes' .This time I could boot into system successfully .
Kernel source: http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=n9200
It seems my rom version is too new so there is no kernel source for my rom but only for previous versions.

I changed "verity" to "noverity" in config.txt in superuser.zip and flashed it to my note5 ,then I can modify system partition without boot loop.Unfortunately I still cannot get root access.

Can you test with http://phhusson.free.fr/superuser-tmp.zip ?
You'll have to delete the content of /data/security from TWRP after applying the zip

[yilksd]

After flashing superuser-tmp.zip, there was no file in /data/security ,just 2 empty folders : "aasa" and "spota". I deleted /data/security and rebooted to system .The result is the same as superuser.zip's.
I rebooted to twrp ,and found the folders "aasa" and "spota" are still there . They were automatically regenerated by samsung .

[yilksd]

I have flashed superuser-r197.zip ,rebooted to twrp,delete /data/security ,and created a new file named "security", so samsung cannot regenerate the folder. But nothing changed .The root function still doesn't work ,and sim cards are still not detected .
How about your S6? Does the root function work on it after flashing the zip ?Can it detect sim cards?
