Temporary unroot?

Hey everyone,

I'm using pro version on my GT-N7000 (AllianceROM 3.4.1) and have had no problems so far, with Root Explorer or any other wares.

I've been looking all through this thread and elswhere, but I can't find the answer to one simple question: How is 'temporary root' enabled? My copy only has a 'cleanup for permanent unroot' option? Do I need to use a CF kernel for it to appear?

Help! There's a couple of apps I could try out if I could temp. unroot!

:o
[SuperSU] bsoplinger:
Don't feel bad, I had to ask the question myself. There is a group of 3 preferences which includes the one you mention. The first is enable root. You just uncheck that to unroot.	It's temporary because when you check it you'll get root back.

wow, i just noticed the Donate version of this app has almost 10k downloads.. @$2.50 a download, thats over $20k just from ONE of his apps, and thats when he gives a free version out too.. man development is serious business..

i can only imagine what he really does for a living.. the kind of bank he brings in..

and that title.. "Elite Mega Optimus Prime Recognized Developer" pretty much says it all lol.

glad we got this guy on our side

hi

What about add a backup-restore settings function in this great app ?
[SuperSU] jna9000:
Is there an easy method to keep SuperSU active even when reflashing a new ROM upgrade (a new CWM Nightly, for example)?

Every time I do, I have to open SuperSU and confirm the busybox install, otherwise Superuser handles su requests.

I know that the Superuser app (and I expect busybox as well) is included in the Nightly, so it gets re-installed. Will flashing the CWM zip of SuperSU help?
[SuperSU] Stupifier:
I wanna know this. Cause I flashed the CWM zip of SuperSU immediately after flashing a new ROM upgrade.....I think it is the reason I have the problems I have. SuperUser App still seems to handle 1 or 2 SU requests even though it is supposedly uninstalled. I also can't get SuperSU to STOP the toast notifications.

So I too would like to know the proper method of throwing a new Rom on and getting or keeping SuperSU while also removing SuperUser App
[SuperSU] shaggyskunk:
Did you verify that superuser is reinstalled & if it is, check it's logs for the last activity. That will either confirm or dispel your suspicions.

[SuperSU] trevor7428:
OK, so I'm really confused.

I was told by a dev to download superSu because his app wasn't working properly with superuser. Well when I open is says "the such binary needs to be updated, continue?

So I hit continue...

Installing, please wait.....

Installation failed

Then the app freezes if I try to press settings or logs.

Also can't open superuser either

any suggestions

[SuperSU] Stupifier:
Well, I decided to to jump ship. I flipped over to SuperUser app after difficulties with SuperSU and some of its settings (Remove Toast Notifications) not sticking. Everything is working just as I want it to using SuperUser App. I no longer am bugged with any Toast notifications or SU Requests....SuperUser automatically handles them. I tried reinstalling SuperSU. I also tried switching to another SU App temporarily then switching back to SuperSU....still had the above little annoyance issues. Overall, SuperSU was doing its primary job just fine....it was just the little annoyances.

Hi Chainfire!

You got a great job here, but i have an issue with your SuperSU previous versions.

If i set the grant option to auto the superuser rights grant have a quite big delay, many times the application reported "no superuser access" because the root permission not granted in time. i dont try the latest version, but the traditional superuser app not have this issue.
[SuperSU] shaggyskunk:

If your package manager isn't running, you might have bigger problems than just a missing SuperSU prompt.

[SuperSU] Frank Westlake:
Your problem is different because SuperSU is installed.

Which version of Android do you have?

Does the SuperSU application run when you try to launch it?

Reinstall SuperSU through Recovery and:

- copy 'recovery.log', I think it is in '/tmp';

- run 'logcat -d >/tmp/logcat.log' and copy '/tmp/logcat.log';

- upload both files here.

I'm on Samsung Galaxy Note Edge running Lollipop 5.0.1.

The SU app (v2.48) is running when I launch it and all apps get root access ONLY if I set Default access to Grant. If I set Default access to Prompt, I don't get the pop-up window to deny/grant the app access to root. Tapjacking protection in not ticked.

I'll post the required logs as soon I'll collect them.

[SuperSU] Frank Westlake:
It looks to me that your 'chcon' does not support the option '-h'; mine doesn't either so I don't know what it does. I think Chainfire will need to examine this log.

Frank
[SuperSU] starbucks2010:
I posted this issue dome time ago here but Chainfire didn't find anything wrong in the logfiles. I just hope that is from this BOC6 base because on early leaked base (BOA2) I didn't had this problem. Or maybe I forgot to put give permissions during my ROM building.

Anyway, thank you for your support and who knows maybe someone will come with another idea :)
[SuperSU] Frank Westlake:
OK. I just took a closer look at the script with my laptop so I could read better and I now see that the 'chcon' error is not the problem because 'chcon' is being invoked both with and without the option '-h'.

Hello,

If I don't reflash SuperSU via TWRP after flashing a cm12 nightly, a message pops up when I open SuperSU stating that the su binary is incompatible and I no longer have root. Then the app force closes

Is this normal?

I apologise if this was already answered. I've tried backing up the su binary via the SuperSU app and still the message pops up everytime.

Thanks in advance,

[SuperSU] fmc000:
Let's see if you get it this way: CWM is obsolete, it's no longer developed and you should try something else. TWRP, if it exists for your device, can be the right choice.
[SuperSU] garyfunk:
I left CWM almost a year ago and went with TWRP. I am happy I made that choice.
[SuperSU] Mike B.:
CWM and Philz are no longer actively supported and might not be the best choice nowadays. Since some people have trouble finding TWRP, a reminder that their new site is

http://twrp.me/

and the device trees are at

http://twrp.me/Devices/

.

For most (not all!) devices the easiest way to install SuperSU is to flash the current UPDATE ZIP with TWRP! ;)
[SuperSU] IronTechmonkey:
FYI - I've been successfully flashing between the last CM11 nightly and 3 different Lollipops (CM12, Blisspop, and one other) with Philz Touch 6.43.6/Clockworkmod v6.0.4.8... so 6.0.5.1 is not required to flash L (without some other qualifying circumstance that requires that version).

Are you saying you can flash TWRP but you can't use it as touch feature on your device doesn't work in recovery mode? First time to hear this.

When installed via twrp do all the update-supersu zip files install root access too please? I was looking to install the update-supersu-v2.01 zip rather than the v2.46.

There is a TWRP Recovery that's been produced for the Xperia E3 on the latest 4.4.4 android Build for that device. I am told that installing the update-supersu-v2.46.zip will root device along with installing superSU v2.46. I would rather have v2.01 from the install but retain rooting as well.
[SuperSU] Mike B.:
The proper answer is "it depends"! I suggest you first read about the various methods for rooting

your specific device/firmware

by reviewing XDA's "

How to Root

" resources. Simply flashing the current update ZIP (2.46?) from the current TWRP recovery (2.8.6?) might be all you need, but using an ancient 2.01 version is probably not the wisest choice.

Regardless of what you do, remember to first run a

full nandroid backup

from TWRP so that you can easily recover should anything go wrong.
[SuperSU] image45:
The general advice is that it is enough, however installing the older zip might not be wisest as you say, however I have found the v2.01 supersu app to be the most responsive on the sony E series so I could always replace the installed version with the older one after the update-supersu-v2.46.zip has run in Twrp.

Yes it's a real life saving having these tools for reliable backups when attempting new things.
[SuperSU] Pkt_Lnt:
That is an error in your recovery, not SuperSU.
[SuperSU] NeoLogY:

SuperSu using 500mb of background data

I was checking my data use, and supersu has used 494mb of background data in the past 20 days. Is that normal? It seems really high!

I'm using v2.46, installed via flash in recovery, the flashable zip having been dled straight from chainfire.eu.
[SuperSU] Frank Westlake:
The only data I can think of is application communication through 'su'. All that communication gets saved in logs, if enabled, and some communications can be quite large. For example, if an application runs 'cat' on a 2GB file then you have a 2+GB log file. Check SuperSU's log setting and turn off as necessary.

I have SuperSU Pro and have enabled that setting but when I reboot after installing a nightly, I open the SuperSU app to find a message pop up stating something about the SU binary not being compatible anymore and the app force closes.

I don't use CM, but I'd guess that flashing the ROM puts the Superuser binary in the system partition. SuperSu can't use it, hence the error.

Accept that you'll have to flash the zip every time, and you'll be much happier. It's not that much extra work. You've got the zip handy.

I ended up uninstalling it and installing another superuser app. Then I restarted my device, then went into twrp recovery and fixed permissions.

Do I need to keep amazon appstore installed to use the super su pro unlocked bought from there

or does it rely on an installed appstore to be present on the device for whatever reason?

Also, will the appstore supersu pro unlock pro in a non-appstore supersu installed by zip or from gg play? I know about the ps/eudop/ro mode but the main thing here is to support the dev not to freeload. :) Thanks!
