Can't get SuperSU zip to install

On the TWRP screen when I try to install the SuperSU zip I do see:

*********************

Boot image patcher

*********************

- Finding boot image

--- Boot image: /dev block/mmcblk0p18

- Extracting ramdisk

- Decompressing ramdisk

--- Failure, aborting

Not sure what that means, but it doesn't sound good...
[SuperSU] Mesmurized:
What TWRP version? -1 and -2 have known issues.
[SuperSU] Pkt_Lnt:
What phone and ROM? One of those is unsupported by SuperSU. That is usually a non standard method of compression that causes the ramdisk patch to fail.

Have you already rooted and are trying to change to SuperSU? It appears there is only one root method for you phone with stock. Have you checked you device forums? I did a search and found this.

Search this thread, there are plenty of people with issues rooting LG G6 TMO, maybe you can find a solution.

Super SU binaries not installing

Thanks for the suggestion, but that video shows a temporary root with Kingroot that has to be redone every time you reboot your phone. It works, but I'm trying to get a permanent root with SuperSU. Got TWRP working fine but can't seem to get the SuperSU zip to install.
[SuperSU] Pkt_Lnt:
The SuperSU zip will not install because the ramdisk patch fails and it aborts to save bricking you phone.

You need to do more research at this point is my advice to keep from having even bigger problems to solve.
[SuperSU] KOLIOSIS:
Have you tried the app Super-Sume from the Google Play Store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=darkslide.com.supersumepro&hl=en

Take time to read thoroughly & contact the developer if necessary before diving in.

http://xdaforums.com/general/paid-software/supersu-please-t3110954

IDK if it will work with your phone &/or the version of Kingroot that you had to use to obtain root.

Also,as the previous post mentions,check out the device/carrier specific forum for your phone for other possibilities.

Can't get SuperSU zip to install

Yep. Bought Super-Sume, tried it and the phone sticks on the Tmobile screen after using the app. Had to re-flash the stock ROM. Tried contacting the developer, no response after a week. Pretty disappointing (and a waste of money).

Pretty much been searching here and online in general for 2 weeks. Various approaches seem promising but none have worked. All was well with the root on Lollipop 5.0 but 6.0 seems to be a different matter.

supolicy is not supposed to be running more than a few seconds at a time, and only very sporadically - for most users that means once at boot, and that's it.

Try figuring out what the parent processes for supolicy are, perhaps an app is running it repeatedly? Or does it remain the same PID the whole time?
[SuperSU] AgentOrange96:
I just checked, and it does seem to be restarting the process, because the PID changes. According to GSAM it's part of "Kernel (Android OS)" although I'm not totally sure if that's what you're looking for. Thanks!

I meant the app lbe.

are you able to use lbe?
[SuperSU] bsoplinger:
I had the same reaction when I saw the description of his problem. Its been covered in this thread that the act of attempting to get a full log breaks some apps since the gathering of data for the log effects the output of toolbox commands that the app needs to get unchanged. And the fact that the only fix for the problem was to not do a full log for the app.

[SuperSU] Taomyn:
I've spotted this issue on my GNex, running on stock JB and SuperSU v0.94

With logging set to "Full content", when you use "su" in a terminal session, the "#" prompt or any prompt never appears although root access is still gained and commands all seem to work. If I switch logging back to "Access only" the prompts are fine.
[SuperSU] segv11:
This is unavoidable. Interactive terminals should never use "full content" logging.

Shells check the file descriptor they receive on stdin to determine if they are interactive (with a prompt) or scripted. If the shell sees a tty/put it is interactive, else it is non-interactive. Terminal creates a pty to connect to the shell. "Full content" logging works by tee'ing stdin, stdout and stderr from within the su command. This breaks the "interactive" shell, since the shell now sees a pipe, rather than a pty, on stdin.

[SuperSU] CamoGeko:
Only if you want to.

Sent from my HTC One X
[SuperSU] Tungstwenty:
No need to remove it. You might have the 2 access management threads, but only one of them will have its SU binary on the right place so that when apps try to run root commands it will work (and the binary will call the apk it's associated with).

Whenever you open Superuser or SuperSU, it will let you know if the installed SU binary isn't its own and prompt you to replace it if you want. Kind of like browsers that always offer to become the default browser - except that in this case it's a good thing as you can't have 2 SU binaries installed and open one or the other as you please. You'll need to replace whenever you want.

About keeping SuperUser.apk when you want to use SuperSU.apk as your root tool, it doesn't hurt and in fact it can help.

I know at least one app (Root Browser) that detects if you are rooted not by the existence of a SU binary but instead if SuperUser.apk is installed. It's not a proper way to detect it and I was intrigued for a while until I discovered I had to install SuperUser just so that Root Browser knew I was rooted, even though I use SuperSU.
[SuperSU] 3rdstring:
Just an FYI Chainfires CWM update.zip removes Superuser.apk & installs SuperSU as Superuser.apk. If you want to use this approach You should probably go to settings >> apps & uninstall updates on Superuser..

I thought it's more like with internet security packs: use and have only one, or there will be troubles ;) Thank's for help.
[SuperSU] meirionwyllt:
I want to use Barclays Pingit to send money to my friends with my phone, but it refuses to configure because my phone is rooted, with SuperSU. Can SuperSU temporarily unroot the phone just when i need to use Pingit? I assume from this thread that it's possible but don't understand how to do it - all i see it a button to permanently unroot.

It would be good if i could make the phone appear unrooted only to the pingit app. Do i need to buy the full SuperSU for this? How would i use SuperSU to accomplish this?

I have tried using the Hide My Root app for this but couldn't get it to work.

Thanks
[SuperSU] bsoplinger:
Yup, it can is just not obvious since I had to ask also. In fact if you search this thread you'll find the info at least twice, once when I asked and the answer to my question and then again when I repeated it for someone else.

Hi, thanks for your reply - I now know why my searches in this thread didn't come up with anything before, it's because the earlier posts were all calling it "ping it" instead on "pingit". However, the posts that I found on this thread didn't give me more info than what I'd already guessed - that I need to somehow use SuperSU to temporarily turn off root. But I still can't find a "temp unroot" option in the menus. Is this feature available in the paid version of SuperSU?

Thanks.

I'm running cm9 nightlies, & I know that I've got superSu installed & running... Somewhere? But I can't find it anymore in TB or the app drawer? I've got a functioning shortcut that opens up superSu & I can see the logs. Prior to flashing cm9, I'd converted SU to a system app using Titanium. ChainsDD superuser is also still installed (never saw a reason to remove it). So I'm confused? Where is it? I checked in system / app but it's not there. I'm guessing that in the same way that Busybox is part of the cm9 rom, so is ChainsDD superuser?

Any ideas?

Have you enabled Full content logging in global settings or in the app-specific settings?

If yes, you can try to set it to log access only or disable logging completely for this specific app.

ES File Explorer has got the same problem since it checks for a specific shell output when requesting root-permission.

When full content logging is enabled the active shell gives back different lines which may cause some apps to think something is wrong.

[SuperSU] king_lud:
Apologies for the long post but I am hoping someone will find it helpful.

OK, after a lot of mucking about and two nandroid restores, I think I've got this to work.

Initially I tried flashing the zip from CWM, but got the 'error 0' problem; I was therefore forced to install from Play.

I'm using an HTC Wildfire S, running CM 7.2 with Link2SD installed.

As I had Link2SD set up to automatically link newly installed apps to the SD card, this is what happened when I installed SuperSu from Play.

Realising SuperSu should be a system app, I went into Link2SD and chose convert to system app, but this just broke the app. Cut a long story short what I eventually did was use Link2SD to remove the links it had set up which moved the app into internal storage, then I used Root Explorer to move the apk from /data/app to system/app. At this point there was an 'empty' instance of SuperSu in Link2SD and a non-functioning icon for it in the app drawer. So I 'deleted' SuperSu from Link2SD and rebooted the phone.

When the phone came back to life I had a functioning SuperSu icon in my app drawer and in Link2SD the app showed up as a system app. When I launched SuperSu it asked me to update the binary, which I did, and so far everything works perfectly.

I am just hoping it will continue to work when I next reboot.

And can anyone tell me if it would screw everything up if one was to delete the old superuser app and then rename SuperSu to Superuser.apk, so that those apps that check for the existence of Superuser.apk to confirm root will be satisfied that it exists?

Lovely app - bought the pro version before I got it working!

Is there some special way I should be uninstalling Superuser? It seems to get hidden my programs like Titanium. Or should I just manually remove the .apk for it through root?

Haha, I am impatient/risky, so I did just that, deleted the superuser.apk from root /system/app and it worked.

So far so good, the app looks pretty and works fine. Takes a bit getting used to seeing it since Superuser has been the usual prompts you see on all the roms thus far.

[SuperSU] bedtime_with_the_bear:
Glad it's working for you.

Speaking of hangs, under certain circumstances, it may seem that there's a bug in SuperSu - but there isn't.

Basically, if you choose to log the full output of the su command, there are some apps that stop working. That's because they are expecting to get the output of the command themselves. With full logging enabled, SuperSu takes the output and there is nothing for the app to read so it appears to hang while waiting for output that will never come.

The solution is to enable command logging only (or disable logging) for those apps. ES File Explorer's root mode is one such app.

It's been a while since I used SuperUser Pro but I don't recall it having that functionality so I don't think that was your problem.

Yes, superSU does have the option to do full logging, so you should set it to Access Only.

[SuperSU] shaggyskunk:
If you flashed Chainfire's superSu, ChainsDD superuser should be replaced and gone. Go to the store & see if if it's still installed there (easier than hunting for it). If YOU ARE certain that superSu is installed, you could always uninstall the other one using the store.

You're not going to find it in Titanium. Once you're sure you have root access via SuperSU, use adb to uninstall, or a root file manager (I vote File Explorer by NextApp) to remove superuser.
