Root Anyone have trouble rooting MM MRA58K?

[Outatime]

I've done this twice now and failed both times.

I am not using the OTA version. I flashed MRA58K via Wugs from the Nexus OS webpage.

After doing so, I updated Wugs. My bootloader is still unlocked. I went to root. Get the three files pushed. Use TWRP to flash them in the correct sequence. Go to reboot the phone. It hangs on the Android animation. And I mean hangs. I left it go for an hour the last time I did it before I gave up. I can re-flash back to MRA58K with no problem at all.

I guess I have a stupid question in relation to this... custom ROMs are starting to come out based upon MM. Can I flash them in TWRP with an unlocked bootloader but an unrooted ROM? I never tried to do that before.

Edit: I didn't realize this before, I can't get in to TWRP as it sits. I wonder if locking and unlocking the bootloader, then going through the whole process again would clear things up.

Well something's whacked. Last night I ran Wugs to lock the bootloader. The procedure works fine, says it's successful, it reboots and it's still unlocked. I'm not sure where to proceed from here....

Well I solved this! When I was rooting and flashing TWRP, it got to the TWRP boot. I never really paid attention, the first thing it does is asks you if you want the recovery section to be read only. I was never changing that and just swiping. Last night I told it to put it into read only mode. Everything worked like a charm. Just wanted to update this in case someone was having a similar issue.

Yeah with latest version of SuperSU swiping can be a bad thing. TWRP should update to let things be as they are, lol.
