Hello,
I want to use a Moto G 2014 in some kind of kiosk mode. That means modified rom with only one application that runs in front of everything. This application, all future helper scripts and system binaries must have root access. So I would like to have a su binary without the supersu app, that may pop-up and ask for permission.
I know I can change the settings of supersu not to pop-up and ask. But I recently had some problems with this settings and the dialog showed up again.
I would feel much better if there was a way to run the su binary without the needed interaction with the supersu app. I have googled for a few hours and read threads here in the forums. But I haven't found a good way to do this. Most answers refer to a normal phone and why the user should keep supersu.
- Do you have any glue how to do this?
- Is the su binary of supersu somewhere OpenSource, so I can modify it to get rid of the communication with the app?
- Are there any alternatives to supersu that work with lollipop?
- Is there already a working patched linker for the Moto G 2014 to bypass PIE
Alternatives:
https://github.com/koush/Superuser/issues/268 seems not to work with lollipop because of PIE
Thank you for your help!
I have a Desire 510 with the kernel found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-510/orig-development/thedreamer-kernel-64bit-t3027273/page2
SuperSU is not able to update the SU binary on this phone/kernel however SU appears to be working anyway, is there anyway to stop the notification telling me I need to update my SU binary (Which I can't)
So I have a Moto X and I have recently rooted it with the method shown here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/themes-apps/root-towelpieroot-motorola-devices-t2825059
Everything works fine and I can grant everything SU as normal but I can't actually get into my SuperSU app and use it properly due to the failure to update the SU binary. When I open SuperSU it shows "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?" and then when I click continue, it acts like it's going to install and after a minute or so it gives me an error that reads "Installation failed! Please reboot and try again." and I have rebooted and followed what it said many times and I just can't get it to work correctly. Could it possibly be because I only have a temp root? PLEASE HELP!
Also, keep in mind I am new to root and I am new to this forum so please don't be too harsh on me if I did anything wrong, such as post on the wrong thread or something. Please just leave me a note or something and I will gladly comply if I need to move this to another thread or anything of the sort. Thank you.
Hi,
When i try to update the Super SU binary i get the message "Instalation failed".
I tried everything that i found on the internet but without any results.
Another question, once inside the super su i can not use the most part of the functions. There is a message "This function is not supported in the Xbin mode" (this is a translation because my SU is in Portuguese).
I have the Galaxy Tab4 8.0 (SM-T330) with lollipop 5.1.1
Can someone help me with this matter?
Thank you
Hi, I need your help
I have a MK903V Android TV HDMI Stick (Android 4.4.2, API Level 19). I need it to run apps requiring root without prompting for root access - which SuperSU allows.
The stick has a root shell via adb and comes with a su binary ("su --help" says "SuperSU v1.99 - Copyright (C) 2012-2014 - Chainfire"). I cannot boot a recovery like TWRP (I guess).
I've tried:
- install and run superuser.apk v1.99, says it must update su binary, fails updating su binary (normal mode)
- install and run superuser.apk v2.79, says it must update su binary, fails updating su binary (normal mode)
- install and run towelroot, says it got root, install superuser.apk (v2.79), says it must update su binary, fails updating su binary (normal mode)
- rooting via Kingo Root (PC), works including its su prompt on root apps (like the bloatware it installs), running superuser.apk, says it must update su binary, fails updating su binary (normal mode) (never prompted for root)
I found articles saying you could run the installer script from the update.zip, which is used to install SuperSU from recovery, in an adb root shell if you adapt it... I'm not so much into unix stuff / shell, so I'm pretty sure I won't do that on my own. Moving two or three files to the devices and setting chmod/chown is not a problem, but the script looks way more complicated...
Is there actually a version of the script that can run from a adb root shell?
Is there any other way I can get SuperSU on a device I already have root access to?!? Didn't think that could be so complicated...
Thx
P.S. I'd also take a su binary that just grants all access and doesn't even come with a gui
upgrade mk903v to android 5 or higher
How do i upgrade my mk903v stick to a higher version of Android. It comes with 4.4.2 kit kat. Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks
EDIT: SKIP THIS - READ NEXT
Okay, I finally rooted the device...
- Installed KingRoot APK (v5.0.4) from https://kingroot.net/
- Ran KingRoot which did its suspicious magic on the device for more than 15min
- Installed SuperSU and granted it root
- Ran the root.sh script attached which basically kills and removes KingRoot and lets SuperSu replace su binary
- Ran SuperSU again and successfully updated su binary
It is the only solution I found so far...
Sometimes the web just confuses me...
Found this:
http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-support/rk3288-devices/17987-new-3288-ez-root-tool
Simple and clean "update.zip" [MD5:7a2755fd5ebe8a2928fc01a4ab0cbabb]
Copy to internal or external sdcard and just reboot or wait for the system popup that says that a new firmware update was found. Update will be applied and device got proper (but old) SuperSU installed.
After that, you may just install the latest SuperSU. (is there a reason why the latest APK is not available on http://www.supersu.com/download#apk ??)
