How To: Root Android Oreo on the Nexus 5X & 6P
The first developer preview of Android Oreo 8.0 was only out for a couple of days before Chainfire created a new root method for it. For the time being, only the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P are supported by this first SuperSU ZIP, as the Pixel's dual-partition layout has created some hurdles, though Chainfire is surely working on overcoming those at some point soon.This root method is still in its earliest stages of development, so you should expect a few bugs here and there. Despite the lack of major visual changes in Android Oreo, behind-the-scenes tweaks have slightly changed the way rooting will work. SELinux rules have been tightened some more, and kernel changes have posed some problems. But, if you're a tinkerer and you're running Android 8.0 as your daily driver, then rooting your phone is a must, so we'll cover the process below.Don't Miss: Install Android Oreo on Your Pixel or Nexus Right Now

He's also gone ahead and tested this version of SuperSU with the latest/official release of Android Oreo, and it works there too!Download SuperSU v2.82 SR3 for Android Oreo 8.0 (.zip)

Then, swipe to confirm the installation, and when that's finished, tap on Reboot System and wait for Android to boot up (it might take a couple of minutes for the first boot with root). After your phone has turned back on, make sure SuperSU is in the app drawer.Be sure to let us know about your experience rooting Android Oreo, and remember that some root apps might be buggy until the developers are able to give them an update.Don't Miss: 25 Cool New Features & Changes Coming in Android OreoFollow Gadget Hacks on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and YouTube Follow Android Hacks on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest Follow WonderHowTo on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Google+
