[Q] Dynamic Kat 1.4 Lost root

Since I'm mostly a lurker and I rarely run into issues that someone hasn't already run into, I don't have the post count to post on the actual Dynamic 1.4 thread. But I'm a little stumped. I seem to have lost root, and when I run anything in SS I get multiple I/O errors referencing data/data/chainfire su files.
I came from knoxraid. Installed new safestrap. wiped. Installed 1.0 from SS then 1.4 from SS. Set up the phone. Restored apps. Set up my favorite xposed modules. All was good for a few hours then I noticed I didn't get a full screen call ID on a call. I went in to check xposed and all the modules were unchecked. I tried to install/update but it said xposed wasn't compatible with my version. So I uninstalled xposed and tried reinstalling. Now it errors on install with "Can't install, free up space and try again" I have plenty of space, but I noticed the last I/O error I get in SS refers to data/data/xposed something or other. So I did the whole wipe and start with 1.0 process over, but nothing changed. No root. And I don't know if the I/O errors are keeping SS from wiping system when it installs, so I'm wary about installing another rom just to see if it works. But I can still boot into SS.
So I'm not sure which direction to go from here.
The errors are:
E:error: I/O error
E:error opening '/data/data/eu.chainfire.supersu/logs'
E:error opening '/data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer'
" " " /data/data/eu.chainfire.supersu/requests
fix permissions didn't work. An extra error was "unable to chmod data/data/eu.chainfire.supersu/requests"
I can't access those files using file explorer in SS.

Well if anyone runs into a similar issue- I wasn't able to install any applications after that as well.
A wipe from stock recovery fixed it. Although it wiped a lot more than I had anticipated

Was the installation on the stock slot? That is where it needs to be. Get your post count up so you can join us!

Yeah I made sure to use stock slot. And everything was fine for a few hours. I really don't think it had anything to do with the rom. I'm leaning towards and install/enable/unistall/disable process that I was burning through on xposed, since the locked up files were su and xposed. And I had other apps downloading and installing in the background. I just gotta learn to slow down. Got everything set up today and it's running beautifully. I was on your Dynamic GPE for JB and it was my favorite. I gave the KK version of knoxraid a shot but got super excited when I saw SS had updated and I could go back to dynamic without odin.
It was fun now that it's fixed. I hadn't been into stock recovery since the old DX days. I didn't realize a data wipe from there took out just about everything on internal storage. Good thing I had the important stuff backed up.
I've been following your work for a while. And you sir, are fantastic. :good:

Xposed for RK3288 Devices

Hi, im new here and this is my first post, so i appreciate all the help and feedback you can give me.
im interested in using xposed in android TV Box's and Dongles, i've been reading and learning all about it for more than a month now. i've got it to work on most TV Box's and dongles that i have "RK based devices with android V 4.4 or less",but i still have a problem with one device which is an RK3288 based with android 5.1 that is already rooted.
i used twrp to flash xposed-v86-sdk22-arm.zip which was successful, than i wiped Dalvik/cache and rebooted, but the boot stuck on bootanimation, i disabled xposed by installing the uninstaller.zip and everything went back to normal. i tried it many times but with no use. i noticed that twrp doesnt mount internal SD, i installed an older version of bootloader which gave me the ability to mount the internal Sdcard, and i tried to install xposed again and this time it pass the animation and goes to a black screen where i can use the mouse but nothing else. with some research i found that UT3+ is based on firefly board and their original ROM is available for download and it has the same bootloader version that came installed with the device, after flashing the new ROM i was able to mount the internal Sdcard and i tried to install xposed again, and this time it gives me optimizing apps but after it finish the device reboot and get stuck again on bootanimation.
my question is, if there is a log for errors to know why the system/boot get stuck , where can i find them??
and if there is no logs how can i monitor the booting process to find the info i need??
also i know or read what bootloader is but i dont understand how it is effecting xposed installation.
Sorry for the long post, and thank you for your help in advanced
EDIT: i finally got adb connection with the device and used logcat to get the logs, but im not sure how to attach the files. if anyone can help i will gladly send the logs. thanks

Update 1
i was looking at the logs "didnt know what to search for im not a developer" and i noticed that everything is crashing and "Not granting permission" ,"Unknown permission " are everywhere .
sample of logs:
Code:
"com.google.android.partnersetup.permission.WRITE_APP_PROVIDER in
package com.android.vendingW/PackageManager( 4712): Not granting
permission android.permission.BIND_WALLPAPER to package
com.android.camera2 (protectionLevel=18
flags=0x58bc45)W/PackageManager( 4712): Not granting permission
android.permission.BIND_APPWIDGET to package com.android.launcher3
(protectionLevel=18 flags=0x583e45)W/PackageManager( 4712): Unknown
permission android.permission.READ_SETTINGS in package
com.android.launcher3W/PackageManager( 4712): Unknown permission
com.android.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS in package
com.android.launcher3W/PackageManager( 4712): Unknown permission "
so i decided to root again with KingRoot, and i tried installing xposed again, and it kinda worked. the system boot and the launcher opens but crashing messages keeps showing "Stresstest for 5.0 has stopped running" , "The process com.android.phone has stopped running", and others.
now im not sure about what im doing but i'll test two methods:
1- i will unpake ROM.img put xposed in the root and update the updater script to install xposed when i flash the ROM.
2- the device can run Linux version from SD card so i might run it and manually install xposed files.
if anyone have any tips or info please let me know. thanks

SOLUTION
For those who are having problems with their RK based android TV Box with android 5.1, if you get stuck on Boot animation or the system boots with black screen and you can use your mouse only, or if you getting errors when you boot the main problem would be your firmware is modified and up to Xposed V.86 is not supported because of the error "No implementation found for void dalvik.system.VMRuntime.clam" you can read more about it in this post https://github.com/rovo89/Xposed/issues/167.
and luckily dsa8310 made a modefied version of xposed, i tested it and it works you can find the download link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67787484&postcount=325

I can't get to the page with the link. (I get a noob alert) We want to try this xposed on a ugoos ut3s (android 5.1 with a rk3288)
Would someone please be so kind to post it here or tell me where I can download it.

Anyone that can compile Xposed v87 to fix this problem for RK3288 Lollipop devices?
https://github.com/rovo89/Xposed/issues/167
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/art/+/379d09fe3c3feb7c2a2fb5a3623689b5ace7e79b
Are there instructions somewhere so we can compile it ourselves?
The code above looks like it needs to be applied to Android source code, what must be changed in Xposed Github code to fix it and compile our own new Xposed only for our devices?
Thanks

Wow ! Work nice on my haier pad971 (ifive air clone) rk3288 5.1.1 !!
Thanks so much

does anyone know if there's an RK3288 enabled xposed v89 built to avoid the issues described by viVaPale? Tried the one from 3.1.5 installer, but after boot it doesn't load the launcher, only mouse can be moved around like viVaPale describes.

FE Heroes not working despite safety net check passing

Hey! First off, thank you to the creator of magisk, it's amazing and very useful
However, I can't seem to get Fire Emblem Heroes to work. OP3T on stock rom, TWRP and magisk 11.1, nothing else. Using MagiskSU for greenify and adaway and everything works. Manager says I pass the safety net check (used to give a profile mismatch but that went away after rebooting) and I've enabled magisk hide for the app, to no avail.
For what it's worth PoGo seems to be working fine.
What further info could I give you to help and where do I get it?
Thanks!!!!

I just updated from 1.0.2 to 1.1.0 and keep getting the same error message as before (the good old 803-3001).
This is supposed to be a connection error message, but it doesn't make sense -- if I hotspot off my magisk'd OP3T to a stock OPO or a stock iPad, the game works fine, so it stands to reason the connection is good.
Hence my suspicion that it's probably a SafetyNet issue (FE:H, like PoGo, uses SafetyNet -- might be a Nintendo thing). Any idea how to get around it?
Thanks!

Might be an issue where the app also relies on another app or service to find a rooted device. See this thread, the Hiding root post under "Dependencies": https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/magisk-magisk-hide-troubleshooting-tips-t3561828

Good idea. I didn't think of that, but alas, the game doesn't ask for any permissions (and none listed in settings) -- so if they do use 3rd party software to check, it doesn't show up in the permission list.
Inspired by Pocket Morty's dependency on Google Play Games, I went and installed that too (I'd removed it as a cruft-reduction exercise) to see if that was it, but it's not. Still doesn't work, same error message.

Yeah, I don't think it has to be as a result of permissions (note to self: update the text)... It might also be that the app is looking for certain prop values. Both of these are hard to figure out without decompiling the apk.

Well now, that's substantially more complicated and probably out of my league I'll have to stick to playing it on the iPad. It's not impossible, just annoying.
Thanks!

you could try on nox pc emulator too, it is working on 1.1 (i had to disable root tho)
i will try with magisk on my phone until i install the apps on LineageOS13
EDIT: @pqueiro it works on LineageOS 13 and using Magisk 11.1, without problems, so i guess can be something of the rom (i can pass the net check too, and PoGo without problems)

The plot thickens. Let me check on my "playground" phone if I can replicate that.

@pqueiro
did you install the game when the Phone was already rooted?
I can replicate this issue when installing the game on already rooted devices - but if I install the game on a non-rooted device and apply magisk afterwards the game launches proper.
Create a nandroid backup, flash the rom and try to launch the game while non-rooted and see if it makes a difference for you.

FYI, tried this (took the opportunity when updating Oxygen OS) and it worked a treat! All is good. Backup > unroot > update > install > magisk all the things and it's working fine.

Play store error code: 0, certain apps refuse to install

I recently acquired a 2013 Moto X 1058 (AT&T Variant) and I've unlocked the bootloader with Sunshine, I've flashed Lineage OS 13 and Open Gapps but certain apps (facebook, snapchat, facebook messenger, google chrome) among apps will not download, instead immedietly throw the error "cannot install Facebook, try again later if the problem persists get troubleshooting help error code:0" and it does it for most apps. Few apps install, like Firefox, Kik, Android Messages but I cannot get this fixed, I've tried multiple gapps, redownloaded gapps, flashed different roms and i can't get it working.
EDIT: the unofficial TWRP 3 is poorly built and doesnt set permissions correctly, I had to use the terminal and do this
chown -R media_rw:media_rw /data/media/
find /data/media/ -type d -exec chmod 775 {} ';'
find /data/media/ -type f -exec chmod 664 {} ';'
Just download it from TWRP themselves.

go seting -->goole play store --> give all permission

I was not able to put in those commands into terminator emulator, kept saying access denied. Any ideas on how to get access or whatever?
I am suffering the same exact problem. I've tried clearing app cache, removing account, wiping cache in TWRP and so on. Nothing is working. I'm not even able to restore the apps via TiBu. Unfortunately it doesn't appear many ppl suffer from error code: 0

hi, after trying your method, I still cant DL using playstore, tried via adb and twrp terminal

I have error code 0 too
I have a Huawei MediaPad 7 youth and some days ago I noticed Google Play Store was uninstalled. I have my tablet rooted, and prior to this everything was fine. I reinstalled Google Play via an APK file on Lucky Patcher's official page (there's the modded Play Store and the original Play Store APKs, I installed the original cause the modded one couldn't install), and I tried to use Lucky Patcher to make it a system app again, but it said it couldn't cause there was few space on /system/app (I have no idea where this folder is, I looked everywhere with my native Android file manager but I can't find it) and told me to free some space on there. So I decided to let Google Play as an user app, but be careful not to uninstall again. Today I opened Play Store for first time since reinstallation, and tried to install two different VPNs, but they both gave me error code 0. Please help me!

It worked on my HTC One M7 Sense 7 Viper 9.0.0 ROM after getting code 0 for multiple apps! Never had this issue before.
Thank you, OP.
I repeat, OP is not telling you to put in random Linux commands. This method actually works! (for me)

You can install terminal apps and from there give root access and execute above cmd.

Yalp Store FTW
Having the same issue I found, downloaded and installed Yalp Store From F-Droid. It finally let me donwload and install/update apps without needing to access play store directly.

I know some might've solved their issues already, but for those who are on CM/LineageOS and need to gain root access, remember that you can enable root in the developer settings... For Lineage 14.1 I'd google, as there are a few steps before that I think.
Hope it helps someone

yes. the android toybox/ toolbox used by blu has been altered and the mount function is not working properly. Same issue some have had with adaway, and other mods. The solution should be to install busybox and fully symlink it to /sbin.
I have not done it but based on your reported error it should be the correct solution.

Ok so what should be symlink then I thought busybox install took care of the symlinking. What's the command too? Also I'm trying to use Link2SD instead of the lovely Android m adoptive sdcard stuff basically keep sd as portable while using Link2SD so I can have my PC see the fat32 partition if i needed.

the symlinking is done from in the bustbox installer.
so, you still have problem with busybox installed?
not so sure what to try next. Ah, check in the list of installed links for busybox and see if "mount" is shown as installed.
you can try to install the "toybox" from V12. It is untested method and you would need to know how to undo if needed.
link to the twrp install of that file is in my earlier post.

Got it to work had to tell BusyBox installer to overwrite and symlink it apparently it's unchecked by default as its "not recommended to replace the systems version" :silly: go figure maybe under normal circumstances with a correctly functioning mount its bad but it fixed it stericson BusyBox installer did others weren't tested but I assume same result. But thanks for your help greatly appreciated it.

Just a note to anyone who comes across this thread if you use Titanium Backup at all don't use "BusyBox X" it seems to break T.B.'s ability to detect root this might be just magisk... or both SuperSU and magisk. but i had this happen with other devices some on SuperSU Some magisk but un-install "BusyBox X" (install any other busybox) and problem goes away not sure what direct cause is in "BusyBox X" might be because X is 1.26.1 and others are 1.27.1 ( ATM ) seems its always one version behind.

yes but because of the way we have to initially unlock/root the r1 it doesn't pass safety net with magisk unless android is not passing safety net again with magisk. but like i mentioned some things can break root "busy box X" with certain apps. also xposed framework systemless and normal seem to work well.
