Some devices allows test signed files to flash from stock recovery like note and may be sgs2

User of this device can flash this from stock recovery too. Indeed we note user uses this zip file to get root access. :p

Temporary UnRoot

Hi All,

I wish to temporary unroot my S3 in order to allow it to update through OTA.

My S3 has downloaded a 87.46 MB file but I have an issue with the installation after rebooting in recovery.

So I guess it is because the phone is rooted and I just wish to let this installation to be done without changing anything else (so far ;) )

Then my question is : does the "Complete Root Suppression" menu of SuperSU is supposed to do this - as it is stated, obviously, but I wonder if it will do something else.

And after, can I re-root the S3 and recover all the rooted apps ?

Thanks for your help,

Lim.
[SuperSU] efrant:
Your issue has nothing to do with root. An OTA update will succeed even with root.

It won't install over-the-air, however, if you have a custom recovery (at least this is the case on the GNex) -- you need to download the file and apply it yourself in CWM.
[SuperSU] Limerick_fr:
Thanks efrant,

The problem is that I have a pure stock ROM (until now) with just a root option and I have the issue shown in the attached screen and don't understand its meaning.
[SuperSU] CamoGeko:
If you already have root + busybox, there is no need to flash the zip.

You can just install SuperSU from play store.
[SuperSU] Limerick_fr:
The zip is the OTA downloaded file I am talking above.

SuperSU is already installed.
[SuperSU] efrant:
Did you download the update separately and reboot into CWM to flash it, OR, did you receive it OTA on your device and you clicked install?
[SuperSU] Limerick_fr:
I received it OTA on my device and I clicked install.
[SuperSU] efrant:
As I stated in an earlier post, if you have CWM (which you obviously do), you cannot just click install. You need to get a hold of the file, put it in /sdcard or wherever, and then reboot into recovery yourself, and then "install update from zip" or whatever the option is called in CWM.
[SuperSU] minuteez:
Hi guys, any help on how to solve this problem? Titanium can't get root currently

Regards

M
[SuperSU] Limerick_fr:
Okay. But no way to find the file on the SDCard. I wonder if it is not the reason of the failed install and signature check.

I don't know where to find this update file. I only know its size : 87.46 MB.
[SuperSU] efrant:
It doesn't download to /sdcard. It downloads to /cache.
[SuperSU] efrant:
You need a custom recovery to flash the zip in the first post, and you need to make sure signature verification is turned off in your recovery. Try flashing it again.
[SuperSU] Limerick_fr:
Unable to get into/cache with AntTek Explorer.

I have a popup stating that I don't have the rights or folder is missing or something like that...

By the way, I also try with Kies, but phone get stuck on "Downloading" and kies directs to rmove the battery.

I did this 4 or 5 times...
[SuperSU] minuteez:
Thank you efrant.

Problem is actually due to the updates overwriting cwm root upon reboot (after update) & since I'm such a noob, could not tell the diff.

Its only after your reply & a bit of reading up on signature verification that I realised this.

So reflashed CWM & Supersu. Voila! Problem solved.

Warmest Regards

M
[SuperSU] osm0sis:
That means AntTek doesn't have root permissions. Make sure you're running it in Native Mode (in prefs) and that you have granted it root.
[SuperSU] Chainfire:
Right... it even flashes with Mobile ODIN :)
[SuperSU] a1exus:
I installed SuperSU through Market, do I need to move it to /system?
[SuperSU] king_lud:
It seems to work if you don't move it to /system, but I have moved it to /system and odexed it and it works great.
[SuperSU] a1exus:
Where do I check and update su binary within SuperSU?
[SuperSU] 3rdstring:
Assuming a data connection, it will check when you open the app
[SuperSU] Pons:
Negative, that's Superuser. SuperSU prepackages its binary with the app. Just open SuperSU, and if it's the incorrect su binary, it will ask you to update. If not, nothing. There's currently no way to check the su binary within the SuperSU app like there is with Superuser.
[SuperSU] a1exus:
oh ok, so if app takes care of it itself it's all good then))
[SuperSU] segv11:
If you install SuperSU from the Play Store, it will happily run somebody else's su binary in order to get the root privileges needed to remount /system read/write and copy its own binary. You could start with an older SuperSU binary, with Superuser's binary, or even with something stupid like the result of

cat /system/bin/sh > /system/xbin/su
chown 0.0 /system/bin/su
chmod 6755 /system/bin/su

As long as it can exec "su" and get a root shell, the app will take care of business and install its own su binary overtop of the existing one. That, and the "survival mode" are pretty cool.
[SuperSU] avyrez:
how can i see if the binary is updated (like in the fifth photo) , is no dedicated button like in superuser to check the binary.
[SuperSU] Pons:
By reading up about three or four posts...
[SuperSU] skodazek:
Love this tool, swear by it.

Purchased Pro versions of all your apps on Play Store. Look forward to more ingenious tools from this developer.

Running ICS and soon JB I do greatly miss my ChainFire3D Pro, that being said I am not among those hounding for a compatible update.

Keep up the great work!

Hello!

Does this app have influence on bluetooth? After rooting my device (samsung galaxy note 10.1 gt-n8000), I can't receive any file over bluetooth OPP profile. When I try to send a file from other device, it waits a few seconds and then says "can't connect to device". I can transfer files from tablet without any problem, and receive files over FTP profile with Bluetooth File Transfer app.

Root took two stages: I flashed cwm recovery, then install supersu from zip. Also I have reset flash counter with triangle away one time.

I tried to do reset from system settings: without any result. Also google chrome doesn't show "download state" notification in system bar now.

Thanks
[SuperSU] appagom:
Great work.

I used to install a renamed secondary standard su with a password file just to use in early bootup. Even that doesn't work in recovery because /system/etc isn't mounted as /etc in recovery. So it worked only if I also customized the kernel. Probably there was a simple unsecured workaround for stock kernels, like making a setuserid root shell command, but this is so much nicer.

Having root in recovery allows me to safely do manual wipes (mount yada yada; busybox find /cache -mindepth 1 -exec busybox rm -rf '{}' \; ) on my stock ICS kernel!

Desire HD Superuser

Hello,

i have a HTC Desire HD with Android 2.3.5 / Sense 3.0 Stock.

I have unlocked the Bootloader with HTCDev and install CWM recovery.

Can i flash the CWM-Superuser to have root on my phone?

After that I want install the Custom Rom "Sabsa Prime"

Sorry for my bad english. I hope you can understand it.
[SuperSU] CamoGeko:
Yes you can.

Make sure you backup your stock rom before and after rooting. Also, follow the ROM dev's installation instructions carefully.

[SuperSU] recDNA:
I am using boot manager. Can I install SuperSU in my phone Rom and.leave superuser in my slot roms?

Once I install SuperSU do I have to uninstall superuser or will it automatically supersede old superuser app making uninstall unnecessary?
[SuperSU] HTC_Cyber:
Overwrite it
[SuperSU] CamoGeko:
That won't work since apk's are named differently.

Best way is to just uninstall superuser, or just leave it. They shouldn't conflict anyways.

Spun out from my RENOVATED One X!
[SuperSU] recDNA:
I tried it. Installed supersu from playstore, opened the app, updated the binaries and it screwed up my rom so badly I had to revert to a nandroid.

You can try the cwm.zip linked in the op

Installation Aborted (i`m on JB and am not rooted)
[SuperSU] Pons:
There's your problem. This app doesn't root your device, it just handles root requests. Root your device first, then use this app.

Taken from the OP (the second line of it, no less):

!!! SuperSU requires a rooted device !!!
[SuperSU] qiuness:
Well according to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1916762

This binary is used to root JB tablets and it should work
[SuperSU] efrant:
If you flash the zip from the first post, it will give you root. If you try to install the app from the Play Store, you need root beforehand.
[SuperSU] shaggyskunk:
;)

R4INS for AOKP!
[SuperSU] qiuness:
That would be awesome if the zip file would flash... I get installation aborted, no error code
[SuperSU] Jonny:
Are you rooted?
[SuperSU] 3rdstring:
Flashing from a custom recovery? I would compare a known working update.zip for your device to the SuperSU.zip & maybe try modifying the system mount commands.
[SuperSU] rodem77:
I manually unlocked my bootloader an later I rooted my device with SuperSU. I flashed it using twrp. If you install SuperSU from Google play it don't work but if you flash it with custom recovery SuperSU root your device.
[SuperSU] bugs9477:
I received my Galaxy tab 10.1 wifi back from repair and it came with an odd build of ICS 4.04, Build IMM76D.VLLH2 on it so I've decided to keep the stock ICS for now but I wanted TWRP 2.2.2.1 and root!

So I Flashed TWRP via Odin then from within TWRP I attempted to flash "CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip" from the OP and it fails so I used the common root.zip that's on the forums here and it works but it gives me Superuser not SuperSU! I did go to Google Play and install SuperSU and all is working.....But!

Two things

1, Is your zip just an incompatibility with TWRP or the tab?

2, Do you have a recommended way of uninstalling Superuser?
[SuperSU] shaggyskunk:
Don't know about the Tab, but superSU works fine with twrp - Flashing the Chainfire's zip takes care of superuser & it's gone from the app drawer ;)

[SuperSU] bugs9477:
Thats what i was hoping for but it just said failed!
[SuperSU] shaggyskunk:
Did you try more than once?

Have you tried getting it from the store?

I remember a while back, I was having a problem with it - but I can't remember how I fixed it atm :(

R4INS for AOKP!
[SuperSU] bugs9477:
Downloaded a couple of times and tried older versions got the same failed notification!

From OP "I did go to Google Play and install SuperSU and all is working.....But!"
[SuperSU] shaggyskunk:
I'm pretty sure that there's a better way, but until someone else wanders up -? Do you have titanium pro? If so, you can open TB - long press on superSU & convert it to a system app. After that, boot back into recovery & try flashing the zip again - fix permissions, wipe cache & dalvick & see if it works?

R4INS for AOKP!
[SuperSU] Pons:
Except TB hides SuperSU for the same security reasons/concerns it hides Superuser.
[SuperSU] king_lud:
Use Link2sd to convert to system app - it doesn't hide Supersu and it's free!
[SuperSU] shaggyskunk:
That's odd, it didn't use to? But you're right - I don't see it anymore?

R4INS for AOKP!
[SuperSU] Pons:
Correct, it didn't used to. They tweeted about it (and possibly in the changelog), but it's early and I don't feel like digging for it right now.
[SuperSU] antiker1:
I was running JB 4.1.1, rooted with supersu. I bought the pro version. OTA survival was enabled. Today i got the 4.1.2 update and installed it. Unfortunately i lost my root. I flashed supersu again with cwm to get my root back. So, the ota survival didn't work for me on my nexus s.

In more detail:

1) system/recovery-from.boot.p was renamed to recovery-from.boot.p.backup so that the system doesn't overwrite cwm with the stock recovery

2) dl 4.1.2 ota and installed it

3) triangle with yellow exclamation mark

4) renamed it back to system/recovery-from.boot.p

5) installed the update again

6) triangle with yellow exclamation mark

7) installed the update again. > now the update worked

8) lost my root

9) flashed cwm and flashed supersu. renamed system/recovery-from.boot.p to recovery-from.boot.p.backup and flashed cwm again.

i guess the ota survival didn't work because of the failed updates :good:
[SuperSU] a1exus:
did anyone tried survival mode w/ n7?
[SuperSU] ironia.:
Cwm ask me to fix su ... everything seems to be fine
[SuperSU] Chainfire:
Not sure what caused your problem, but SuperSU survived the 4.1.2 update on my Nexus 7 just fine ...
[SuperSU] shaggyskunk:
Have you thought about sending an email to the root checker pro dev?

R4INS for AOKP!
[SuperSU] Chainfire:
Your device is not properly rooted. This is certainly not the right place for your question.

This has nothing to do with this thread, nor should you email the root checker pro dev. It's not mine nor his fault your device isn't rooted.
[SuperSU] kmetek:
sorry to ask....which is better supersu or superuser?

i have stock 4.0.3 rom rooted with superuser.zip....is it ok to download supersu and install over?
[SuperSU] dr.ketan:
Imo supersu have some extra features and I am using since day 1 it released.

Flash zip file available in op, that will remove superuser.

Installing from marker you have to remove superuser manually later.
[SuperSU] avyrez:
super user is has better interface that supersu :),, and not all soft are compatible with supersu

i have cf-root with tweak installed on my phone,but when i open the tweak program is saing to me that the program only working with cf-root and super user, but the tweak is made by chainfire. :))
[SuperSU] Chainfire:
I normally ignore posts like these, but what a load of nonsense. Which has the better interface is entirely subjective (some prefer Superuser, others prefer SuperSU), one is not better than the other.

Same with software being compatible with SuperSU ... if something doesn't work, it's usually because full logging is enabled, which makes a tiny difference some programs can't cope with - turn that off (it's turned off by default), and everything should just work, if coded properly.

As for that tweak program, you are using it on a phone it is specifically *not* designed to work with, and references to superuser are for superuser access, not the superuser program, which are two completely different things.
[SuperSU] claytonjn:
I don't understand what person in their right mind would post in the SuperSU thread asking if SuperSU or Superuser is better. Really? Not only is that blatantly disrespectful to the developer, obviously everyone here is going to be biased. That being said, I think SuperSU is leaps and bounds above Superuser.
[SuperSU] jayjay3333:
Don't want to flame here but the person who asked that has 840 posts and been thanked only 9 times. That speaks volumes. Followed by a n00b...

How about try both and make your own decision. Each to their own. I prefer this but have bought and tried both. Never ask that question on the developers thread...pure disrespect.
[SuperSU] kmetek:
didn't want to cause any flame or disrespect, sorry....jayjay3333, me n00b?

eh, sorry again dev, it was just normal question. thanks for your hard work.
[SuperSU] punkeroso:
Hi Chainfire,

first of all, thank you for the great work you've done with SuperSu.

I would like to know why, in the updater-script of your SuperSu.zip, you move some GApps from their original place and then you restore it fixing permission.

Thanks
[SuperSU] MeMoM&aVirusTI:
Hi Chainfire .....I upgraded to the Pro version... mostly just to support you & your work ..

But after the upgrade SU doesn't work anymore ...the UI just freezes & flickers

can you do a little double check of your app & fix the bug ..please

Or maybe there is another solution

My scenario is ....I had SU ....then updated SU threw Google Play recently ...then upgraded to Pro

Thanx
[SuperSU] tiagojpavan:
Hi Chainfire, how do you do?

I have a little problem here, and I don't really know if this is something about SuperSU of the kernel I've installed today, so I'll try to explain and you tell me, if possible, some solution for this, ok?

I've installed on my SGS today android 2.3.6 JW4, and the Semafore Kernel over it. This kernel comes with SuperSu version 0.86 (I think, I really don't remember now) and I've updated to the last version using Market, but now everytime I start SuperSU app it says the SU binary need to be updated, and when I accept it, the app says that a error are occured and don't update the SU binary...

I really don't know if this is some kind of bug from SuperSU or from the kernel itself, so I asked already on Semafore Kernel thread but with no response...

Any idea about this?

Any help will be amazingly accepted.

Thanks in advanced and sorry for my poor english. :p

[SuperSU] Pons:
He just copies the apps from /system/app to /, then back again after he installs SuperSU as Superuser. I'm assuming, (after the ui_print Creating space) he's moving them just in case there's not enough room in /system, thus preventing the installation of SuperSU.

[SuperSU] skodazek:
Anyone know what to look for in titanium backup if you are wanting to completely uninstall superuser (old ChainsDD version) from cm9 or cm10 rom.

I have been using SuperSU Pro for quite some time and although I also own Superuser Elite, I know now I'll never go back. My issue is that superuser comes stock in CyanogenMod and my Titanium Backup Pro cannot seem to find it in my installed apps list.

Any assistance or advice will be greatly appreciated.
[SuperSU] king_lud:
Titanium Backup doesn't show Superuser - it's a security measure. You can see it in Link2sd, though, and uninstall it from there. You can also use Link2sd to make Supersu a system app.
[SuperSU] 3rdstring:
The cwm zip linked in the OP removes Superuser and installs SuperSU (as Superuser.apk)
[SuperSU] skodazek:
Excellent, done this. Any reason i should make the supersu pro license file a system app as well or just the primary supersu application?

My gut feeling tells me the aforementioned inquiry was a foolish question :) now that I think about it, what purpose would a license file being a system app serve.
[SuperSU] king_lud:
I haven't made the 'licence' file a system file, but I still have pro functionality.
[SuperSU] Lownita:
I want to replace superuser on clean cm10 install with supersu, what would be the best way to do so? Just flashing the zip? :o
[SuperSU] osm0sis:
remove superuser.apk from wherever it is (/system/app/ likely?) and then install SuperSU from the Play Store. It should use the Superuser su binary to update itself and you're all set from there.
[SuperSU] shaggyskunk:
Yeah, I just flash the zip in recovery :)

R4INS for AOKP
[SuperSU] Pons:
@Chainfire, I have another improvement idea for the app (request). How about an option for Log date format to default to System Default (much like the Language Override option), while maintaining the current four options as well.

Also, su binary info would be nice, too.
