I've just added a TWRP flashable ZIP for SuperSU v2.23 to my download server - see the link in the box at the bottom of this post.
I was busy writing the 5.0 additions for How-To SU when an idea struck me that could fix a number of SELinux policy issues on Lollipop, of which previous attempts to transparently work around resulted in failed boots.
v2.23 is the implementation of those workarounds. Please extensively test this version ASAP on your Lollipop (and KitKat) Android's.
A number of root apps that previously would not work may now start working - please post in the XDA thread if so.
However, there could also be negative side effects, so if something stops working that did work with v2.22, please post about that as well.
(Note that I am not interested in root apps that did not work and still do not work)
I want to get a new version to the Play store in the next few days, so time is of the essence.

wow!
You are the man
try my app!
Does this need the patched kernel from cfar or does this zip do it all? By the way THANK YOU!
Helium was not working on Lollipop Nexus 7 2013.. Working now ! Thx :)
Still requires the patched kernel from CFAR, kernel patching will not be in the mainline SuperSU ZIP, as non-compatible kernels and locked bootloaders will go boom. There will be a separate ZIP available for the kernel patching soon. If you're currently rooted with CFAR you can update by just flashing the ZIP - you only need to CFAR once.
Chainfire your the man because softkeyz was not working before but now its working your the best updated thru wug fresh root tool kit just about a hour ago. On 5.0
+Chainfire CAN YOU FOLLOW US ON TWITTER? TWIT US?

+Adam Slobodian There's a patch-pie file floating around on the XDA forums that made my ES Explorer get root.
+Chainfire All the apps that wouldn't work before (Wakelock Detector, Display Control, Parcel.. etc) are now working with v2.23. Nexus 5 w/ LRX21O factory image.
Works fine here nexus 5 stock
good
Thanks for the Hard work +Chainfire. Best luck as always. ?
Awesome work. Nexus 5 Lollipop on Mac.
Thx a lot Chainfire
Helium on 5.0, Nexus 5 is now working
+Brad Hoschar thanks friend! Updated the post of my Rom.
Worked for me. Nexus5, stock lollipop, flashed zip after CFAR.
Nexus7 2013 - working too.
+Brian King Actually when I woke up this morning I had an update to ES File Explorer which addresses the root issue. Root is working now.
Thanks
+Teodoro Robert Abilay Thanks, I actually just posted about it a little earlier as well. Glad to hear it works on the v2.20 of SuperSU as well. Thanks again.
Guys did you flash a modified boot.img before install supersu. Without this boot.img, supersu didn't work. Does it still required with supersu v2.23?
+Chainfire I can confirm that fx root add-on now works
Wakelock Detector working again! Thanks man! ?
+PENG CHENG I was rooted with CFAR, and when i went to install a custom boot.img that supported F2FS and then on top of that the latest elemental X for my Nexus 5, i lost root. I then flashed SuperSU2.22 (2.23 was not released then) and i got root back.
+Roberto Cocchiararo Sounds like your SuperSu 2.22 works on custom boot.img after successing root once. Though I flashed orginal boot.img of LRX210(nexus 5) first, then flash supersu with failure. I'll try flash boot.img and supersu again to see if any change.
Are your going to add support for the Nexus 6? The new SU works great on my Nexus 9!
wakelock detector didnt worked with 2.22, works now with 2.23, great!
Just updated from 2.22 via TWRP flashed with Franco's boot.img. | Nexus 5 | Everything rolls alright... Great Thanks +Chainfire !
When will support Nvidia Shield Tablet?
As others have mentioned, WLD wasnt working with CFAR, but it is working now with v2.23! thanks!
did someone testet cerberus?
~~the only app i have which is still not working with root is es explorer... but dont know if its a problem of supersu or the app... :(~~
updated es explorer to latest version and now it works xD
Rom Toolbox lite started working. Using on Android L 5.0 on NExus 4. Thanks a lot!
I'd love to test this, as soon as there is CFAR for the SHIELD Tablet :-D
+Adam Slobodian ES File Manager attains root now with mounting / as root r/w.
On nexus 9 ,fixed power toggles' shutdown menu so now i have reboot, recovery and bootloader options.
Weak Control was not working with previous version
Now working without change with v.2.23 beta
Nexus 5 Lollipop works fine with the beta as well.
+Chainfire what are those of us with failed nexus 10 root w/ CFAR on release day of lollipop supposed to do? Are we supposed to re-root with CFAR again or is it still broken on the nexus 10?
You r da man!
Yeah they are working now. Good job! Power Toggles requires root for GPS toggle and it is working now (not working on 2.22)
Just flashed it on my N5 with the new L update. Root is back and all my normal root apps are working.
Still not working on Nexus 5 running stock Lollipop...
Did you run the chain fire auto root again?
Working like a charm. <3
Great job. Thanks
