After resolving the issue in the thread above, I actually hit multiple errors when trying to run the script, and I ended up doing multiple things to try to resolve them. Enough that I don't know for sure if the problems I hit were derivative problems coming from the issue above (and my not properly cleaning the environment before trying again), or if I did indeed hit a genuine problem and found a genuine solution.
Anyway, the basic problem I hit (after the SuperSU issue above), is that this line in the combined script was failing:
Here is the actual output:

I hit the same error like 3 or 4 times as I kept trying to run the combined script. (including after a [restore-backup]+restart cycle, I believe)
This was odd because when I ran the cd command manually in the shell, it succeeded every time. I eventually figured it must be a timing issue -- an earlier command changed the mounting or something so the script has to wait longer before being able to execute the cd command.
So to resolve it, I did the following:
- Download combined aroc script from Github, naming it "RootScript_Fixed.sh"
- Modify script, adding a "sleep 10" line after the line containing:
echo "Creating SuperSU directory in system/priv-app [...]
- Run script as root, so:
sudo bash /home/user/[your user id here]/Downloads/RootScript_Fixed.sh
Anyway, this time, finally, the script succeeded and root became functional.
(Well technically, it got to the last step of calling the sepolicy_patch but failed because Android wasn't active since I hadn't [restore-backup]+restarted since last botched attempt; so I had to restart then run the regular 02SEPatch.sh script, which then succeeded. But others shouldn't have this problem if they start from a fresh slate or run the [restore-backup]+restart cycle immediately before the steps above.)
Anyway, it took quite a while, and I'm not actually sure if the steps above (of adding the longer sleep) are the reason it ended up working, but I thought I'd mention what may have fixed it for me, so at least other people hitting the issue have a potential fix available.
