This method still causing the Play Services sync problems with Gmail, etc. Any fix?
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] meanhacker:
I'm sorry, it's kind of hard to understand what you're trying to say, but I'm assuming this is a guide on how to set up a triple-boot system.

This method only roots the system, it's not supposed to fix the sync problems with Gmail. The problem exists even before you root, so we need to search around for a solution. I would recommend asking in the Discord channel and someone might shed you some light on this issue.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] mic1000s:
It is exactly it, forgiveness if my English is not very clear. It is a method to install a dual boot or a triple boot in this particular case on a tablet Teclast x98 or on a mini PC Pipo X7 that have the same characteristics it does not solve at all the problems of synchronization of Google moreover I have no problem of synchronization on Phoenix os 2.2
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] meanhacker:
Oh okay, thank you for the guide, I hope others find it useful. The other reply was to another user, not to you. Phoenix OS has a Gmail sync issue. So if you try to install and sign into the Gmail app, you will not be able to synchronize your mail. You actually do have a synchronization issue, it's just that you haven't experienced it yet because you haven't tried using the Gmail app.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] Seanie280672:
when I type the 2nd command, mv su su.orig it says no such file, what am i doing wrong ?

Im single OS booting and the files are as you laid out, but in the Download folder from within Phoenix OS
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] meanhacker:
It sounds like you're not in the right folder. What Phoenix OS version do you have and what processor architecture? (32/64-bit) are you sure you're running the first command correctly (cd /system/xbin)? In the terminal, type in pwd and press enter. Post the output here. It should say /system/xbin. If not, use the command cd /system/xbin. If that doesn't work, type in ls -a and post the output here. Can you find su in that list of files? If so, all we're trying to do is make a backup of it before replacing it with the one we downloaded from Chainfire
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] Seanie280672:
Im running the latest version x86-64bit ver: 2.21.247

Ive manually had a look in the system xbin folder and can see all of the above mentioned files and commands etc, mv, su.orig etc etc thats why I dont understand why its not working, so ill try your other commands now and let you know.

EDIT: running it on a packard bell easynote TE, Intel celeron N2820 CPU, 4gb DDR3l with a samsung evo 120gb ssd

EDIT 2: when im in system/bin and type pwd it gives the result /system/xbin, posted a couple of pictures below.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] meanhacker:
Great, thanks for the pictures. So it looks like you already made a backup of the su, which is now named su.orig. Proceed with the rest of the steps :)
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] Seanie280672:
Thanks for all of your help, all the commands went in ok this time, however a little problem, ALT+F7 isnt working to close down terminal, so I have to force restart, then once its back up and running, continuing with the instructions to install super SU says not root found.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] meanhacker:
I don't remember off the top of my head, but try Ctrl+Alt+F7. Also, try other numbers for the F (Function) keys. If superuser doesn't work for you, go into the Security app and enable SuperUser for AutoRun.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] Seanie280672:
Thank youu very much, strangest thing happened, just reinstalled the whole OS and all the commands went in this time perfectly fine, the keys to get out of Terminal are indeed Ctrl+Alt+F7.

Managed to have a bit of a play and sort of get the latest version of showbox running, also installed it through Kodi where it appears to be working perfectly fine, going to stick with this OS for a while now, does everything that I need it for, without the crap sluggishness of Windows, looking out for any future updates.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] meanhacker:
I'm glad you got it to work! I will update the OP with the new information. What made it work? Was it the fact that you could now escape the terminal or letting Superuser in AutoRun?
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] Seanie280672:
Being able to get out of terminal made it work, without having to force restart the laptop.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] meanhacker:
Interesting, I am running v2.2.0 64-bit and Alt+F7 works just fine. Maybe the new version changed this. I will have to investigate when I install the latest version.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] Seanie280672:
I wouldnt worry too much about it, I tried with v5 too and had the same problem, its probably just my Crapard Bell laptop playing up and trying to be different.

I showed a friend at work today, who loved it and wants it on her laptop, this is an ASUS laptop, and although the bios is a complete nightmare, I got through it and installed Phoenix to it, then rooted it, ALT+F1 to open terminal works fine, and the ALT+F7 to close it works fine too, but my laptop for some reason require CTRL+ALT+F7 :confused:
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] meanhacker:
Yes that is definitely odd haha. Thanks for the results, I already added the new keystrokes to the OP.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] BADA 187:
hi, can you plz make a tutorial to install magisk instead of supersu? or is ther a way to install supersu then replace with magisk? does the same method also work for the Phoenix OS 2.2.1 version?

thanks in advance
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] VineethChandren:
Thanks for this wonderful tutorial mate. I successfully rooted a 32bit version of PhoenixOS with the help of your tutorial. By the way, in the 3rd step for 32bit machines, you made a mistake by adding "x64" instead of "x86" in the directory path. I got a "no such file or directory" error while following your tutorial, so I looked for su.pie file and found it inside the x86 folder. Then I corrected the directory and it worked like charm!

Thanks again..
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] Mnky313:
Works fine for me Phoenix OS 2.2.1 x64 Dell Inspiron 7559
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] meanhacker:
Thank you for the correction and confirmation. The reason why it said x64 for the 32bit version is because I followed a tutorial for rooting Remix OS and never actually had to root a 32-bit Phoenix OS. I updated the OP.

Awesome, good to know.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] phnikola:
Issue

Hi - can you confirm this works with latest 2.2.1 update?

Having troubles with it - while on 2.2.0 worked just fine for me.

Also - can you clarify which SuperSU version you use?

Think that link to zip file changed in the first post so I downloaded latest flashable zip from SuperSU site, and extracted it to su folder as per instructions.

Many thanks for help
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] OudomEver:
Me too...
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] meanhacker:
Hi, I've never used magisk so I don't know how to work with it yet. Try asking for help in the Discord channel, I think people were talking about it

I haven't updated to v2.2.1 yet, but I will test it out once I get some free time. The SuperSU version I use is the latest one from Chainfire's website. It is linked in step #1. Does it not take you to his page to download the latest SuperSU? The zip file I attached was in case the site was down or any other reasons users might need an alternative way to download the file. I specifically left a comment regarding this on the very bottom of the OP. And that's good that you downloaded the latest flashable zip from the SuperSU site, that's what the tutorial asked you to do in the first place ;) I hope you get it working.

Awesome.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] phnikola:
Hi confirmed that 2.2.1 can be rooted with your method using SuperSU 2.79.

Latest one on SuperSU website (2.82) does not work for me on Surface Pro 4 (CoreM)

Many thanks for the great tutorial!
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] meanhacker:
Wow! Thank you for the information!
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] lfom:
Works for me in latest Phoenix OS (2.2.1.247_x86_64) with the linked ZIP from post #1. Thank you.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] meanhacker:
Thanks for letting me know. I'm glad it worked for you.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] TommyRox:
Will this work on the latest version 2.5.0 64 as well? Same SU file?
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] rebel1699:
I am testing that right now, and will let you know. I use a slightly different method to root, and it broke play store, and possibly all of play services on POS 2.5. To the point that you could not even add an account. I will try via this method. If not, I will also try with a more updated su binary and report back in the next few hours.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] TommyRox:
Thank you so much
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] rebel1699:
Verified that this method does work on Phoenix 2.5 64 bit. Play store and play services are fully functional and operating normally. My machine is a Dell Inspiron 15-5568 2-in-1 with skylake i3. Great work by [MENTION=4806493]meanhacker[/MENTION] and ikkun over on discord.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] TriMoon:
Are you sure we don't need the other files inside the x86/x64 dir?
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] meanhacker:
This rooting method works without needing the other files inside those directories. As far as I know, SuperSU will download the rest of the binaries that it needs :)
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] Camlin3:
I don't think supersu binary needs any binary except modding app_process to allow its daemon to be run at system level and gain shell access .may be it need an extra init script and library for patching selinux policy for successfully starting its daemon right from very beginning of boot.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] RemodNuevo:
Thank You it work in Acer E1 451 G phoenix os v 2.5.0 64 bit.

[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] Pablo Sevilla:
Hey, it does not work for me! I have Phoenix 2.5.0 dual booted with ubuntu and when I type the second command, mv su su.orig, the following error message appears:

mv: bad 'su': Read-only file system

Please help! I can't use the replacing sys image method either cause I cannot find it anywhere online. Thank you in advance!!:good::fingers-crossed:
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] meanhacker:
Hi, are you trying to root on a clean install? What modifications have you applied to POS? It sounds like your system partition is read-only. You should try to remount it as read-write. I'm not sure what the proper way is, but a quick Google search gave me this result:

su mount -o remount, rw /system

If that doesn't work, try sudo instead of su. I don't remember the exact syntax, so you're going to have to play around with it for a bit. Also, try asking in the Discord server for help.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] Pablo Sevilla:
First of all thank you for your help! It does not work.. No description whatsoever comes out when I use that code to change it to read and write. When i used sudo instead it outputs sudo: not found.

I have just reinstalled Phoenix 2.5 x64 and tried again but the problem persists. I have used this tutorial about dual-booting Ubuntu alongside with Phoenix. Perhaps that's why I am special and have a read-only file system but how can I change that?

Here's the tutorial I used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTGjDb_FhJk (I used the newest Phoenix 2.5 x64 ISO)

Thanks a lot for your help. What is the Discord server's website so I can ask them too perhaps?
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] Shironomia:
Works on Acer Spin 1 (SP111-31) with PhoenixOS 2.5.0 64bit.

However, I had to install the SuperSU app (superuser.apk) first, enable AutoRun for it so that it can run in the background, and only then go into the terminal and do the steps in there.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] andaleeb:
Su doesn't install.

Did everything as stated on v 1.5.0 just the last process where i have to install apk, it just fails. What could be the reason?
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] meanhacker:
Try installing the app found inside the zip file attached to the OP
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] andaleeb:
Thats what i did, but its got nothing to do with the method. I just installed this os and was trying to root. Found out it wont let me install any apk. App not installed error. Trying to ind a way aound that.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] meanhacker:
Well that's weird, tell me more about your setup and how you installed your OS
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] andaleeb:
Official website, used their installer. Google play doesn't work and when i try to install apk i get that error. Most solutions seem useless so far.

---------- Post added at 08:30 ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 ----------

Btw while trying to figure out things i noticed theres an easier way to do it lol. Just get into developer options and enable root access then install supersu.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] andaleeb:

[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] wanb1i:
I'm having the same issues (installed thru win10 on MacMini). My Developer Mode doesn't have that switch for Root.:eek:
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] andaleeb:
My problem was fixed. Just uninstall the os. The file must be corrupted when you downloaded it. I used their installer that suggested right version and downladed it which caused this error. Then i uninstalled it and downloaded the installer for the specific version from the website then rooted it using this method.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] wanb1i:

Ok, so noob here when it comes to Android commands. I cannot get the terminal to give me the'#'. I can only get the '$', so I don't have the needed permision/rights to do anything in the "system" folder. I've tried every command I could find on the web, but they all assume the device is already rooted.

Any help would be appriecated! :eek:

That didn't work for me, I've installed several diferent versions and I cannot get any "Google" apps to install. I believe it is related to updating Googe Play Services, but I can't get it to update either!

I have exact same problem, HP Specra x360, dual boot with windows. I cannot get to the '#' only the '$', so no permissions, that's what I think anyway. No idea how to get the # to come up.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] meanhacker:
How did you install Phoenix OS? Did you install it into a folder on the same drive where Windows is or did you make a partition? What version of POS are you using?
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] wanb1i:
I have installed the latest version (2.5?) in a folder using the exe file. I tried to install it to a high speed USB, but couldn't get it to boot. I'm about to give up on it completely. Too bad, cause it works well on my x360 otherwise.

Follow the original instructions to the letter, because there is literally no reason it shouldn't have worked unless you're trying to root a 64bit install as 32 or vice versa. Or maybe you're using the steps for an older version.

Still ending with pervious error anybody have an idea?

What I am missing
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] meanhacker:
All that step is doing is backing up your su binary. If you're getting that error, that means Phoenix OS doesn't come with it anymore in later versions or something happened which caused it to disappear. The solution is to simply proceed to the next step. You can't back up something that's not there :)
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] zahid5h:
Phoenix OS 64 2.5.8 rooting solved

Follow the steps blow

1.aftre extracting and renaming supers.zip to su

2.click ALT +f1 you will be promoted to Android emulator

If you had the same problem as main when you type chmod that there is no file or not existing chmod..... Do the following

a.go to Android system

B.scroll down to system click it

C. Go to xbin folder find a file (chmod)

D. Copy chmod to your sdcard/Download/su file that you name it previously.

7. Type the command again chomd 4751 su ignore if you do haven't a problem

8.type su --install

9.su --daemon

10.click ALT+f1

11.go to sdcard/download/su open the folder common install superuser.apk

12.after successful installation go to setting and click on AutoRun

13.from list of apps allow supersu
