How to Root Android O

As we already know this month Google has released the iteration of its mobile operating system, it is Android 8.0, code name Oreo And the developer is wrapped in the preview build. Of course, those who have their devices powered by the Android version are looking for root tools to gain root access.

Unfortunately, the reputed SuperSU and Magisk can smash it to give us root access. But, a few days ago, Chainfire came up with a happy tweet, in which he told that he managed to get the original root on the Android 0 power device, and did not have much time to wait, the root developer has rolled out his root device Written by SuperSU 2.79 SR4. Running Android Oreo Developer Preview, which supports the Nexus 5 and Nexus 6P. Just for you to know the work of the Android Oreo root is different with what it had on Android Nougat.

So far SuperSu 2.79 SR4 was tested and worked on Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P. But it is expected that work should also be done on other devices like the Pixel Tablet and the Nexus Player. For Google Pixel families, the roots will not work as the existence of the  NB partition layout provided on the devices and of course, the Chainfire needs more time to fix the issues on Pixel, so just wait.
