Why the root message isn't showed like Hero&Others ?

All others rooted phones have a message showed when an application asks root, why don't we have this on Tattoo ?

On Tattoo root permissions are always enabled

Ok, it's nice but we can't see which application ask root :/
Like Terminal Emulator, when you launch it, the shell is always in normal user "$", not in root :/

This is true, but I dont know how, after isntalling 5faif ROM, terminal emulator shows me the #, id command shows me that I'm root.

I'm on stock ROM, this is the problem i think!
Anybody has SetCPU ?

The problem with this is that every application can obtain root without our knowledge.
It is a serious security flaw.

Not really. Android is pretty secure. Even if you get a brick from a Andirus (Virus + Android), it's a piece of cake to undo the damage.

Because that rom you've flashed contains custom boot.img by mainfram3 that gives to you root at startup and loads tattoo-hack.ko (partition r/w always mounted)

Actually i wasn't having viruses in mind. More like keyloggers and such. SU prompt wasn't invented for no reason...

I think the OP was asking about SuperUser.apk.
It's a modified su plus a service that asks for user intervention when a program calls /system/bin/su. It's nifty and it should be used by everyone.
Android apps are prevented from looking into other apps data. If su is readily available, a app can escalated it's privileges and steal your personal info, by reading data from other apps.

Exactly my point.

MoDaCo Custom ROM 1 includes Superuser apk for root access.
P

Anyone know how to fix Superuser Permissions manually?
I have Tattoo with rooted boot.img (mainfram3)
I pushed su into /system/bin/
Made chmod 4577 /system/bin/su
Pushed superuser.apk from Modaco Rom to /system/app/
Restart sure...
SuperUser Permissions can be executed (list is clear)
But any app doesn't send request to Superuser Permissions.
What i could forget?

Finally, I solved it partially.
Sure, i have rooted boot.img
I extracted from Modaco Custom ROM for Tattoo:
su
Superuser.apk
copied su to: /system/bin/su
copied Superuser.apk to: /system/app
run in terminal: chmod 4577 /system/bin/su
restarted and everything works fine now... Superuser Permissions shows all root-requests, Titanium Backup works, other root-things works too
But i notice, that su-binary from Modaco ROM is about 34-36 kb, but
su-binary from guide of getting root is about 80-85 kb.
1-2 months ago we faced with difference in size of su. We choosed bigger su in case, what it can run "flash_image", smaller su can't run.
But maybe it fixed already? I did not test it yet.

Thanks @5[Strogino]
I was trying to use Titanium today to back up my apps but it didn't work.

What exactly wrote TB?
Did you download busybox via TB?

I don't remember exactly.
It did ask me to download busybox and I did that, but still it didn't work.

How to know if my note was rooted?

Not sure how to check this.

Check for CWM and superuser apps

Just install any app like Titanium Backup from Market, and it verifies that you are able to become root, if not it will tell you.

There is an app check root (I think) that will tell you for sure. I used it when my tablet appeared rooted but was not.

check if you have superuser app installed in the system. If its there in the apps then there are chances. You can confirm it by opening apps like Titanium backup (free version available in market). It will ask for root permission while opening.

even easier:
open terminal emulator, type: "su root", press enter and check if there pops up a Super User request

+1, this is easiest way.

For those that know what you are talking about, perhaps. For the rest of the world, I believe the 'Check Root' app would be simpler

[Q] Rooted, no Superuser??

Hey guys,
Long story short, I rooted using this guide (zergrush)
rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-gt-n7000method-1/
Everything went fine, it said it was successful, rebooted and seemed to work,
However, Superuser wasn't installed, so I went to the market and downloaded it.
It was missing the SU binary, so I found it online,
I'm just wondering where do I place the SU binary file?
---------------------------------------
I'm not sure if its rooted or not, as root explorer shows all the hidden system folders etc,
however if I go to the command line and type SU I get "$SU not found" not "#"
It makes sense that I'm not getting # as Superuser wasn't installed (the SU binary anyway)
So In short, how do I check for root (without using command line or another app to check for Superuser)
and second, where do I place the SU binary if I download it from the internet?
Thanks,
James

First thing Which ROM is installed on your device?(can see under setting - about phone)
Simple thing, if you dont have superuser or superSU application in drawer, you are not rooted.
When first time use SuperSU, it will ask to update binary N it will place automatically if you are rooted.

There's an app on the market/play store that will tell you if you're rooted or not. It's called Root Checker Basic. However, I had SU installed so I'm not sure if that's a factor or not.

Ok do this, lets start fresh here and uninstall that su app. Now, go to THIS thread and download supersu v1.86 and flash it in recovery. once booted go to the su app and if it happens to tell you to update the subinary, click on "normal". It will now install and tell you you need to reboot device then do just that. you should have root now, also while you're in there you can grant permission for apps too instead of prompt.

SU Binary In /system/xbin, But SuperSU Is Not Working

Besides the SU Binary In /system/xbin, what else do I need for SuperSU to function?
It keeps saying the SU binary is not installed

I was rooted on MI9 using the DLV method. I updated to NC2, and the SU binary installed by SuperSU persisted in the /system/xbin/ directory, but the SuperSU app says it is not installed. I wanted to know what, if anything, I can do with the SU binary in place to get the SuperSU app up and running again.

i am not sure there is anything you can do till we get a root exploit for nc2

yeah, i too have still have su in system/xbin on NC2, but root isn't working. it's weird, but as stated above, we probably need a new exploit or something

Are the permissions correct on the su binary? Might as well check that before we start despairing.

Yeah, I'm not allowed to set the permissions in Root Explorer without root, but it does show a preview and the permissions do match all the other files in xbin

Same here, permissions match all the other binaries in xbin.

I wonder what this means. I figure we dont need a new kind of su binary, but there must be something in the new software that blocks it from working?
I hope it isn't in the kernel. I had a Sony device last, and we needed an ever so slightly modified kernel in order to get full root on 4.3. But I doubt if we will ever be able to flash kernels.

I'm guessing there is some setting or permission that needs to be changed.
