I know /g/ isn't exactly an XDA alternative, but I was wondering, with regards to rooting...
What are the advantages of the autoroot method by Chainfire >flash temporary custom recovery, install SuperSU, reflash stock recovery
over simply installing your own permanent custom recovery and flashing SuperSU from it?
Preferences towards Chainfire's autoroot are often stated without reasoning, but it doesn't allow you to
>make a nandroid backup
>install Xposed (although perhaps you could via Flashify?)
Thanks
Why would you want stock recovery?
Its not like you can upgrade OTAs via stock recovery anymore, if you make any system partition modifications. The only known ways to update OTAs when you're rooted now is extracting the .img files from the stock image and flashing them individually via FlashFire.

Yes, exactly
Which is why I don't know why other prefer Chainfire's auto root

Nope, it's been sold to a new company. Enjoy your backdoors.
