What I recall when I tried rebooting the device just after flashing the SuperSU package is that the Pixel C showed "Need to apply a critical firmware update" on the same screen where you usually see the unlocked warning. Well, that was of course a terrible idea, since SuperSU modifies the boot image, but anyway, at this point, none the wiser me and a few others did it. Someone on the TWRP or kernel thread on XDA suggessted simply flashing SuperSU. Then I found that root was not fully working, but it wasn't clear to me what was missing. I flashed this kernel, and so far, everything was fine. After a few tries I had built a kernel image that was dev signed, bootable, flashable, and contained the neccessary changes to the ramdisk for root. The next step for me was to root the device. I've adapted and built TWRP (a custom Android recovery) for the Pixel C utilizing an AOSP fork, and installed it via fastboot.
