elementalx will have a few extras over a stock cm source with elementalx governer

I built a kernel using elementalx gov from oneplus 3 commits but it didn't work properly, the clusters would try sync clock speed (to 1.6ghz on all 4 core) rather than full speed. so it may need a little work fully, or maybe dev fixed it up. need source to know :good:

So today some process called zygote64 tried to access root and SuperSU prompted to allow or deny the request. This is the first time I've seen this process ever in my life.

Anyone have clue as to if it's safe or what it represents?

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tauio111:
Zygote is the display server of android. (Think X11/Xorg on Linux)

No idea why it would require root rights. (It should have the required rights by default because its a system component).

Malware infected it maybe?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RusherDude:
Zygote is the Init process on Android, it doesnt need root to do anything... it sounds like some malware is called like that.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpj52190:
Update: Android 7.1.1 stock rooted. I was still asked for zygote for root permission. this time instead of it being zygote64 it was zygote. Still haven't found a solution to this. if anyone can shine a light into this.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renaf2:
in doubt i say Malware !!!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I3anter:
Yeah, I just got it today on CM14 for Find 7a December 18th build. I wasn't sure what it was so I just denied it permissions. After a quick Google search, it seems sketchy that a component of the system wouldn't already have root permission.

I also just checked SuperSU and didn't see any app that had root access denied to it, so I wonder what's actually going on here.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gro0vr:
I ended up purging my phone and reinstalling everything.

Haven't been asked for that in 14.1. Wiped everything and flashed everything again.

one things i figured out is zygote is coming with whatsapp as since i refused whatsapp su permission by than zygote is asking for su permission .. zygote is a project is being used by whatsapp for stopping the mod or to retrive the logs to block them
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasMan78:
I got this request on my Nexus 5x for zygote64 once the day before yesterday when I tried to switch from wifi to mobile data with a self-designed toogle from "Power Toogles", which needs root rights to do that. I did nothing and let the SuperSU message dissappear. Wifi were successfully disabled but mobile data didn't get enabled, even not after several tries. I use this buttons every day and it was never a problem to enable/disable mobile data with it.

There was no entry regarding this root request in the SuperSU logs! So I checked what happens when the root request is ignored like I did it with the zygote64 request. I removed "PowerToogles" from the allowed-list in SuperSU and tried to enable mobile data via the toogle. The SuperSU request came up (now for "PowerToolges" not for "zygote64"), I ignored it and after that I checked the SuperSU logs. There was a "Deny" entry for this request. Why is there no deny entry for the zygote64 request?

The phone is nearly new (Christmas present), and were updated to the newest Stock Android 7.1.1 one and a half week ago. I use only the Google Store to download and install apps, and the phone contains nearly the same apps which I used on my previous phone, where I never had this problem.

I'm a bit confused where this request comes from, but I don't think that it is from a adware app or something like this. I could imagine that it has to do with SuperSU and it's harmless. But I'm not an Android expert.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omnitrix4m3:
Yeah,

I literally just got this right now through an su prompt while listening to Spotify. At first I granted permission for it, but later went to the Su app I disabled it and found this post. Regarding its connections to WhatsApp, I recently opened up the app after a long period of time, if that has an effect, even though it's a non root app. Keep in mind I just restored yesterday's nandroid backup coming from the Nexus 5X Lineage OS 14.1 nightly build. I don't know if that has anything to do with it as well as me changing my ElementalX kernel profile to Ghost pepper. That's all lol I'm not trying to get hacked.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blue whale:
I have this one too on xiaomi's miui 7.1.19 and no WhatsApp at all.

Does dirty flash of the ROM replaces the zygote files (and I remove xposed beforehand, then reinstall expose later on)

---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------

I restarted the phone and zygote64 no longer appears in supersu's log...
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffsf:
I've been seeing this over the last couple days, and never approving it. It seems "spontaneous" in that it's not related to UI-driven activity.

(I'm running OmniROM 7.1.1 with very heavily trimmed GApps, no XPosed framework in place)

I only see "zygote64" in the SuperSU apps, and nothing in the SuperSU logs.

The hints I have so far are:

bullhead:/ # ps | fgrep 64
[...]
root 491 1 2140052 26968 poll_sched 786e1c9cc8 S zygote64
[...]
u0_a64 1364 491 1578476 38536 SyS_epoll_ 786e1c9ba8 S com.teslacoilsw.notifier
[...]

Given the number of process with ppid of 491, and that pid 492 is "zygote", I've got to think that "zygote64" is the 64-bit parent process for apps.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkXylese:
Just got this too (zygote64). Running 6.0.1 cause I love xposed. So this shouldn't be related to the OS.

Recently started getting same requests from com.android.settings which is my settings app. Been on the sand Rom without updates or dirty flashes since November (Running buttery-smooth with N-ify and other modules.) And this is the first time I get this request.

Thus, I can safely make the assumption that we got a potential virus...

Edit: I'm on a 6P and when I denied access to both settings and zegote64, I had no differences in phone operation. No "failed to switch from Wi-Fi to Data" like oth3rd are claiming. So I'm just going to keep rejecting until we get a firm details on what that thing is

Gonna run a log cat until I get home, where I'll look more into it...
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul L.:
It's highly unlikely that you will see whatever is asking for in the process list as it may quit once it gets access denied.

Extending the prompt time may give you a chance to connect the device to your PC and use adb shell to look for it, but seeing as it occurs spontaneously I doubt you will catch it on time.

The only thing you may look for elsewhere is a app_process32 or app_process64 file, which is the actual name of the zygote binary (zygote is the service's name)

Also, per init.zygote64_32.rc, both versions of the service should already run as root, and unless this is a bug; which could be possible if somehow app_process32 or app_process64 do not recognize their parent (the one started by init) and tries to restart as the new parent.

I just saw this popping up on my phone and started scouring the net which brought me here. Anyone yet know exactly what this is?

---------- Post added at 08:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

I denied it super user permissions though, and nothing seems to be broken. I just remembered I updated whatsapp and gbwhatsapp few hours ago.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbsnowman:
Hi, I have the same thing going on on my phone. And I can tell so far that it has absolutely nothing to do with WhatsApp as I never ever had WhatsApp or any Facebook related app installed on my phone. I even hadn't installed any app for a longer time before the first appearance. Maybe there is another way of infection (if it is a malware).
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikee19:
Well it's been a while since I posted that I saw zygote64 ask for root permissions. Like I said I denied it that time. After a reboot I could no longer see zygote64 as denied in super su, and I haven't had it ask permissions since! As a result, I strongly doubt that it's malware. Maybe just some error of some sorts.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbsnowman:
I was able to force the application to request root access.

After being not sure that it is malware or not, I installed a second Anti Virus App, just in case... ;) The main effect was a shortage of RAM, which wasn't a surprise. I then downloaded the latest factory image from to flash my phone. This triggered the AV-apps to scan to zip file while downloading and that ultimately ate all of the remaining RAM. So Android killed a couple of background tasks. And this made zygote to re-appear. But it didn't stop there, another (unknown) app was listed in SuperSU: "AFwall+ [UID]". I do have AFWall+ installed, and that app has root access. SuperSU denied the other app access over and over again.

After the download was done, I flashed my phone with FlashFire, overwriting every partition except for the user data. I have no clue if I made it even worse, but since then, neither zygote nor AFwall+ re-appeared.

Cheers

So after all, nobody can surely tell, what this fake zygote really is?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikee19:
I did say it doesn't seem to be malware... If it was, someone woulda figured it out by now. Like I said earlier, I only rebooted, and haven't seen it again!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JakeDaSnakePayne:
I was just asked to grant root for the same thing, zygote 64, of course I denied access. I checked Su and it was in my log but had no image, like it was trying to hide. I scoured root browser for the app, data/apps, system/user apps and system priv/apps and couldn't find it. Since there is no recovery for my sm-j727p I just made sure that when I rebooted the phone it wouldn't be granted root access. After the reboot the program seemed to disappear.

It is a good read. Apparently it is due to advertising malware that will modify the system and will turn your phone into an advertising circus. For some reason no mail malware protection apps can find it. I am guessing it hides itself deep in the system?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JakeDaSnakePayne:
So zygote 64 is harassing me to give it root access, still, even after my reboot. I spent half an hour in jrummy root browser searching deep in the system with no luck in finding the program.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macusercom:
May I ask you which ROM, Kernel, SU binary and root apps you have? Today I had the same bug on my Nexus 6P.

For me I have LineageOS CM14.1 24/07/2017, Franco Kernel r54, SuperSU v2.82 and these root apps:

- Color Control

- CyanDelta

- FK Manager & Updater

- FolderSync

- FX

- Greenify

- Magisk Manager

- Naptime

- System Framework

- SystemPanel

- Titanium Backup

I think it is a SuperSU related bug. Maybe and app requesting root access that has been terminated or let zygote crash. Trying to find out whether other people with this issue use SuperSU (I read about a bug with Xposed and WhatsApp Extension but I'm on Nougat with none of it).

EDIT: Do you use Magisk? Something related to zygote has been on their bug tracker for 11 days. It could be occuring since Magisk v13.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JakeDaSnakePayne:
Well my Rom is stock and so is my kernel I'm using nougat 7.0. My phone is a sm-j727p.

Root apps are.

-L speed

-Super Su

-Gl tools

-Greenify

-Ram expander

-ViPER4Android

-SD maid

-Lucky patcher

-Flasfire

-apps2sd

-Root browser

I did have Xposed installed, but uninstalled it after a few hours of playing with it and never used any of it's apps. I just used it for Greenify . The zygote 64 did not start asking for root until a few hours after install. I tried to find the problem with root browser and couldn't, I rebooted and it still was asking for root. So a dirty flash was the only option I had left, knowing that I gave zygote 64 root access to see what would happen. Nothing was the outcome. After the dirty flash the problem was gone.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atomclock:
I just got a request by zygote for super user too... I am using SuperSU Free V2.82

NOTE: this is speculation!

I think it is a bug in SuperSU. What I think is happening, an application asks for super user privileges but SuperSU doesn't get the correct application and instead displays the zygote daemon.. "Zygote is a daemon which only mission is to launch applications"

Info on Zygote...

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikee19:
I'm on super su free 2.78, also use magisk and xposed on marshmallow stock. I am yet to see zygote64 re-ask super user permissions ever since the one time it did that time and I denied and rebooted!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuckOne79:
Hi guys,

got this root message today from zygote.

Only things I changed in the last day was installing Automate and enabling NFC.

My binary SU isnt up-to-date since some time and SuperSU is argueing about that, but root permission fully okay. So I guess it has sth to do with either supersu misinterpreting a request handle or it s all about Automate app in conjunction with NFC .. I read some article about malware attacks w/Zygote and higly recommend this to read: Securelist: Attack on Zygote: a new twist in the evolution of mobile threats.

However, I doubt that my particular problem is a malware-driven one :)

I have the suspicion that the "problem" derives from not trusting the system user. [IMG=https://imgur.com/FeEFZ4T.png]
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicktheprofessor:
It's a trojan.

If you get the request, don't grant it and since there is no way to properly clean it and you have to have ROOT for it to even appear you need to wipe and reset your device.

In the future, stick with porhub instead of sketchy porn sites and use a script blocker to avoid this problem.

I swear, android users that root their phones and go watch exotic porn sites is the reason for pretty much all android infections.

So this is as far as I have gotten in this thread and just wanted to say this. I got asked today on my s7 and did accidentally grant it but immediately went to superuser where it took a couple of tries to delete it.

I'm not doing (filming, broadcasting, making porn games, having sex or whatever) porn on my phone and I got the mf zygote once. Could not locate any log in supersu related to it. Also on pc even though sometimes I get to see porn on pc. So I guess it's not porn.

Weird is that really noone knows what it is.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macusercom:
Apparently, it is related to debugging when a developer forgets to disable it for the public release. zygote is modified by Xposed so I guess it could be a simple bug. There might be some other circumstances where it is malware but I'd say that if I were infected, it'd have asked me for root permissions more then only once. After denying it with SuperSU and deleting the denial, it never asked again. Also, in my case I think it happened after soft rebooting or a System UI crash after I played with some settings.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jugoslavpetrovic:
I don't have xposed.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macusercom:
