[SuperSU] alfianguy:
I fully un-root and uninstall SuperSU from my phone. And turn on the built-in root feature in my ROM.

As I can't live without root on my phone, gotta stick to only ROMs with built-in root feature.
[SuperSU] zelendel:
Most roms with built in root use this binary for the the root to work. Most are already looking at alternatives and many have already changed. Just dont think that because it is built in that it uses something different as it might not.
[SuperSU] Phil3759:
Yes, most ROMs always did use SuperSU, except maybe CM based ROMs

Actually, there is little doubt about the end of this story for two reasons: things started very bad and CCMT is based in China, a country trying to acquire many root apps and developing very aggressive spy/adware. Chainfire was fair saying he's no more responsible of what can be done with the sources.

Many Chinese root apps were banned by users in the last years for good reasons.

The good sense dictates that beyond any emotional history behind SuperSU, one should stop using it, even current versions. Not because there is spyware in code, but just because the sources fell in bad hands.

Try looking at PHH opensource alternative for now, or stop using root
[SuperSU] Mazda:
Do you have any solid evidence that CCMT is based in China?

One quick look and it shows the company is established in Delaware so I'm wondering what evidence you have to support such a claim.
[SuperSU] jerbear294:
That doesn't change the fact that:

A) the company has yet to make a privacy policy

B) we know next to nothing about them

Still shady in my book.
[SuperSU] manpildo:
First time hearing about this, it's very concerning. And just recently I bought SuperSU Pro thinking I'm supporting Chainfire, not some unknown Chinese company.
[SuperSU] fmc000:
They tried to buy greenify from the developer. He was the first to tell that they are Chinese.
[SuperSU] shoey63:
First greenify, now Supersu? What are these guys trying to achieve? I'm going STRAIGHT to Phh superuser.
[SuperSU] tohtorin:
I think this is the end of supersu. How on Earth those Chinese dudes thought that people who use supersu are mostly here on xda and most of them are very concerned about their privacy continue using some soft of corporate root access app?? Chainfire was not stupid to sell, well who do not like money (not all are Linus Torvaldses) but those Chinese investors were stupid to buy it and from few months they notice barely nobody uses supersu anymore. This makes chainfire to adapt flashwire etc to general alternatives. Or nobody will use them as well. Supersu is dead I think. For good.
[SuperSU] :
SuperSU will not die lol it roots almost universally, no one has come close to being able to do that.
[SuperSU] tohtorin:
And for now on without CF checking source and with bunch of malware
[SuperSU] burduli:
I purchased SuperSU Pro long time just to support Chainfire. I didn't really need it, free version worked just fine, but I like the developer very much and I respect him. Everyone wants, needs money and I'm almost pretty sure that Chainfire shouldn't have sold it without good evidence that CCMT will not use app to exploit users. Yes, that doesn't change the fact that we need official privacy policy to have some trust in new company. If I were them, I'd introduce myself on this forum the second I bought an app. Ex-owner of SuperSU already them to release privacy policy and I'm pretty sure they do. I'm still using SuperSU Pro as it doesn't have alternative IMO. It's universal, system-less, works fast and still can be trusted. As Chainfire said, 2.78 has nothing to do with it. If they'll release 2.79 or something, I'll come back to SuperSU's thread and see what does CF says about this. If he confirms that app is going nuts, I'll remove it, but as long as he says that he's checking source codes and there's nothing shady, I'm sticking with SuperSU.

[SuperSU] mycnam:
From what I can find:

The WHOIS is a registrar in China.

CCMT is hiring Android engineer in Beijing.

I agree. But if anything bad happens it can't be enforced...
[SuperSU] Phil3759:
It doesn't mean much, but it is same city where hummingbad was developed...

http://www.cnet.com/news/malware-from-china-infects-over-10-million-android-users-report-says/

Chainfire officially declined any further responsibility of any misuse of his code

I think enough is said for now and everyone can make his choice: Naive or stick to the reality
[SuperSU] Mazda:
So if I got this correct, we shouldn't trust any Chinese users on here?

Just being in China makes you guilty of pushing malware and there's no legit developers living in China. Everyone in China is evil and out to get you right?

If that's the case then I move that XDA should ban all Chinese users and developers.

I thought this thread was going to eventually provide some solid evidence on the matter but all I continue to hear is rumors and 'he said, she said' and a lot of assumptions and ridiculous claims.

No real evidence has been provided that CCMT is doing anything bad. Yet it seems that [MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION] has made it his personal goal to bad mouth CCMT/SuperSU and get people to use this Superuser.

I think if a moderator had any sense, this thread should be closed. Is not clarifying anything. Is just giving [MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION] and the mob of fanboys a reason to talk crap about SuperSU and CCMT.

Good luck ladies and gentlemen in your witch hunt!
[SuperSU] :
I have a small amount of sense only, but I see no rules being broken here. I only see personal opinions being expressed about a faceless company. (Literally in this case)

There's threads on XDA that criticize phone makers, carriers, etc. etc., and as long as it remains civil there's no reason to close them. :good:

All that said, I do believe in innocent until proven guilty. ;)
[SuperSU] :
If you had any sense you wouldn't come to a thread made to, using your own words, 'bad mouth CCMT/SuperSU'. Your doing nothing but *****ing people for expressing their beliefs/opinions. Go back to Google Plus where you can ***** all you want. And no you didn't get it correct, he wasn't saying all the Chinese werent trustworthy. Go back a couple pages, it has a link to a thread with Chinese users worried! The company is going to great lengths to hide it's identity thus making us/we wondering why. Have a wonderful day.

Sent from my shamu 30 minutes away from you. :good:
[SuperSU] Mazda:
My mistake. Didn't think we could use XDA to spread false accusations, I guess we can now.

Thanks!
[SuperSU] zelendel:
Ok guys here is the bottom line. You have 2 options.

1. Accept it and use it

2. Find something else to use instead.

There is no *****ing option.

Does it matter in the end what you chose? No not really. Not to anyone but you. Instead of tossing complaints or arguing about it. Just make your choice and live with it.

It is plain they have no plans to state who they are and have the right to not do so.

This thread has run its course. Thread closed.
[SuperSU] KennyG123:
The announcement regarding CCMT was made August 29th of 2015! Over a year ago! And just now people are wondering who they are? 2 minutes of Google Search got me this:

http://datagovus.com/new-york-corporation.php?id=4803179

Then I also found this:

http://www.dos.ny.gov/corps/faq_copies.page.asp

In the last year, no one thought to send 5 bucks to find out who signed for the LLC? This would have added at least some face to the faceless and prevented some of these wild rumors!

We do not wish to stop a constructive conversation about alternatives or information on the company, but prejudices can never be constructive. Calling out CCMT in this thread has not resulted in them coming forth. So as Zelendel said, it seems to be taking a bad turn and running its course. If someone has a valid reason why this thread should be reopened we will be glad to consider it. In the meantime maybe a new thread on alternative options and methods would be more constructive.

Thanks!
[SuperSU] Chainfire:
It took a while, but the official CCMT privacy policy for SuperSU can now be found here:

http://www.supersu.com/about#supersu

It's obviously modeled after my own privacy policy I used for SuperSU and other apps.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Fast And Pro:
Hey,

I am running the exodus rom on my oneplus 3 and after todays update I got a huge problem. My screen fails to wake up, the phone works normal I think but the screen is just black..

How do I solve a problem like this?

I have tried turning it on and off again, it did not work
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] JumboMan:
dirty flash?

may be clean flash will help
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Fast And Pro:
Idk what happend

but the screen works again but my phone is now bricked and the usual guides to unbrick do not work.

This is the status of my 1+3

Bootloader: unlocked and I can boot in the bootloader

my device is recognized by my pc

I cannot enter TWRP and I cant flash TWRP.

When I try to flash it CMD says that its flashed but I still cant boot in twrp, I get a random screen with md5 checksum and some fails.

Can someone help me?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] JumboMan:
I don't have answer for question.

it looks like you have some serious problem with your phone.

may be some experienced user will help you.

I think you should approach Naman bhalla as he made guide to unbrick so he may know in detail
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Fast And Pro:
I found a fix on the forum and this explained what my problem was

On the screen when the phone failed to md5 checksum, you've got several partition failed right? in red text.

- download this : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424942573

and then extract.

- download platform tools attached below. extract in the same folder with first file you've downloaded.

- Boot your phone to fastboot mode, plug your usb, make sure adb and fastboot driver are installed.

- on the folder, hold shift and right click, click open command here

- type fastboot devices

- make sure your serial number appear.

- now flash the img of the missing file according to the partition in red text on your ms5 checksum failed one by one.

- e.g. "fastboot flash boot_aging boot_aging.img.

- make sure you flash all the missing partition.

- type fastboot reboot.

this will boot you to oos 3.1.2.

unfortunately I couldn't extract the newest oos dat. data. but you could always take the OTA

goodluck mate. sorry for my english

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] darkmage06:
Hi guys, I have recently updated my Galaxy S7 edge to the lastest software version G935FXXU1BPG3 (August Security Patch) and have received this error.

I tried disable all of the screen overlay application and the error is gone. I suspect the app that is causing it is Velis Auto Brightness and Network Monitor Mini.

However, in the previous software version (July Security Patch), I have both of these applications enabled for screen overlay and everything is working as it is. The new update has caused me to disable these apps so that I can allow permission for app to access location, contact, etc.

Is there anyway to fix this to allow the auto brightness and network monitor mini to work correctly without the screen overlay detected error?

How I wish I can go back to the previous software version so that I do not have to disable these applications for it to work.

Thank you for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Meboyzram:
If your phone is rooted you can download module called no screen overlay dictation it will fix it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] latino147:
I moved to a unrooted S7E with MM and I'm also getting the screen overlay questions. And I just don't get what they want me to do.

For example, from the Telegram app I want to send my location. Maps starts and I'm asked If I want to grant Telegram access to my location.

I want to press 'Allow' but then the "Screen overlay detected" dialog appears and I'm redirected to a list.

So what app do I need to allow permission to appear above other? Not telegram because that one already has it, so it must be Maps then? But Maps is greyed out?

Or is it some kind of system app (Settings? System UI?) that needs te permission to appear above Maps?

It's quite confusing :\
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikiGry:
Hello

As everybody noticed on stock roms Nexus doesnt show H+ icon , when it is using HSPA+ network. Is it same for LTE-A ? I"m asking because i am not able to determinate if im using LTE or LTE+ .

I know , that i can do a speed test to determinate which network i"m using right now , but this is not the way for me.

I need a trusted information if N6P is using LTE+ but doesnt display it on statusbar or sth is wrong on my side.

Note:

I did some reseaches and corrected my APN setings and as a result LTE Discovery app isnt able to tell me which band i"m using (is behaves in the same way with my fathers S7 Egde when it is using LTE+).
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swa100:
I have the same question! I would like to know how to determine if lte- a is working correctly.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikiGry:
Well. I think LTE-A isn"t working at all. In 6.0 there was no LTE+ icon , but LTE discovery would display the upload and download frequency as a interval --> agregation is working. On one of the Nougat updates it stoped to display interval , just standard up and download frequency but speed was the same. On 8.0 LTE discovery doesn't work at all (it freezes and force closes) but I'm able to get some badass download and upload speed from time to time :)

So my conclusion is , that Nexus 6P uses LTE+ but doesn't report that at all

[Lenovo K5 Note Questions & Answers] psycin:
Seems like the more prudent among us are waiting for their one year warranty period to get over before rooting their phones. I guess thats okay too, as a strategy. Might be able to resell for more if warranty isnt voided and use the cash to buy a different phone later; thats another alternative.

Also, I am new to this rooting scene, so i have a noob question. Is it possible to "clone" my phone and try rooting its simulation on a different system, to see if the method works or not ? like a testbed of sorts ? Or is cloning different from what I think it should be..

Cant get it work

Im trying to flash twrp but keep getting "FAILED (remote: download for partition 'recovery' is not allowed)" so i think thats not how it is supposed to work am i missing something? :confused:
[Lenovo K5 Note Questions & Answers] comprocks:
Guys... Please read the previous pages of the thread before attempting something. All of this has been tried and has not worked.

We can't flash a new ROM because the preloader and kernel have boot, system and recovery image verification. If any of the images cannot be verified, the device does not boot! When you reflash the stock ROM, you would end up losing NVRAM data (IMEIs, WiFi MAC Address). A version of TWRP had been ported to this but it caused verification errors and didn't allow the device to go even into recovery.

If you downgrade, root and then upgrade, the image verification does not let it boot.

Remote download (fastboot flash recovery) is not allowed due to the image verification and fastboot restrictions.

The only way is to decompile the preloader and kernel files and remove the image verification from them (which is what I am working on). Only then we would be able to flash recoveries/ROMs/SuperSU as we please.

If you still want to go ahead and flash something, use the SP Flash Tool but be warned: Flashing anything root related will render the device un-bootable! Be sure to write down your IMEIs and WiFi MAC Address if you must continue.
[Lenovo K5 Note Questions & Answers] ananthuthilakan:
PLs understand that its not direct upgrade

But via flashfire which allows to upgrade by skipping those verification

And its not been triedby anybody for k5 note

And its true that , that guy has ported and succesfully flashed twrp

See his tutorial in youtube

He has not flashed twrp via spflash tool bcz of this verification it fails but via flashify or something

So the point is these things are not already tried things but new

Read and understand carefully before dumbing the new feeds

Thanks
[Lenovo K5 Note Questions & Answers] comprocks:
I'm sorry. I misspoke and I did not mean to offend you. What I wanted to say was, you have already recommended this method before and nobody had rooted Lollipop to try it out. I still think it is a good idea, just as I thought back then, and if anybody can try it out, it would be great.
