[Q] SuperSU /data dirctory to avoid root detection - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have PhilZ-cwm6 installed with 4.12 running but I removed the SU by using Unroot_SuperUser-Busybox-Uninstaller-Update2-signed,zip application. Because an office application I want to run is not running and complaining about device being rooted.
Then I installed UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip using CWM.
But in this way SuperSu is got installed in /system and it is being detected by application and it complains about device rooted.
If I uninstall it and re-install using Play store it gives me error that SU binary is not found.
Please advise.
What I am trying to achieve is to install SuperSU in /data folder .
Thanks

Supersu is a system program, so will always install in system as it needs root access. It won't run from data AFAIK. Supersu is just an app that manages permissions. Just installing it does not give you root.

Thanks for reply But there are posts which suggest it to install in /data http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42009031&postcount=6
and people have done it.
Please advise.

It says there's an option to install it only in data in su app, have you found that?

No, if install the zip using CWM. I cant select any option there. And It automatically Installs itself in System

you may temporarily hide root for using this app

Titianum Backup/ ROM Manager/Toolbox Probs

Whenever I try and backup my apps via T.B. it always gets stuck during the process. Yes i have USB Debugging enabled..Unknown Sources checked..and I am fully rooted. Also, whenever i try and fix permissions via ROM manager or ROM Toolbox..it also gets stuck during the process. Any ideas??
Try to fix permissions through cwm recovery
Delete cash and dalvik not data from cwm recovery
Delete cash of titanium and other apps from setting/apps
Make sure their is a space from apps to be backup
Try to install supersu (not superuser) from market and give titanium and others permissons in it

I have SuperSUPRO installed and updated...and I have wiped caches and permissions via cwm recovery. But still t.b. still freezes during a backup...the furthest i've gotten is 38%..and i have plenty of space avail
I have the same exact issue. I think we need to talk to the T.B. dev to look into the issue
Same problem here. Tried all the solutions mentioned above but didn't work. I also encounter the same issue with Link2SD and Root Explorer.
thank god I thought I was the only one..yay I'm not crazy

LogCat
Guys,
Can you attach a logcat while is trying to do a backup with Titanium?
I'm working with support on the issue, and the more logs we have from different devices, the easier it will be for them to figure out where the problem is and how to fix it
Thanks

I had this issue with tibu, not sure on a fix for the others. Get this app from market (above link). Update busybox and sqlite and then go into tibu/preferences. At the very bottom, go twoubleshooting and choose to force system busybox and sqlite. Restart app. See if that works.

Try supersu. It has almost the same functionalities and maybe it works. Otherwise try to extract the su binary from superuser zip and adb push it to system/xbin. If you do so, push apk to system/app too

[Q] How do I install busybox? (Noob)

Please forgive my ignorance, this is my first android phone....I'm trying to install the Helper in Secure Settings so I can toggle gps in Tasker, and it said I need an app called BusyBox. However, I'm unable to install BusyBox from the BusyBox app I got at the place store. "Smart Install" says the installation failed, and "Normal Install" just reboots my phone. How do I correctly install BusyBox?
Rooted HTC One running 4.1.2
Have you rooted your device first? Becoz without root you can't install busy box on your device.. so Google how to root..:thumbup:

Yep, my device is currently rooted. Still running the stock ROM though if that makes a difference
I'd like to know the answer to this too..

From what I have been reading, you need to disable system write protection first. Refer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230341
After that you can install Busybox.
If you're already rooted then the titanium backup app available via play store has an option that will automatically install busybox
Alternatively you could use this free busybox installer app from play store

Lost Root From Most Recent SuperSU App

Managed to lose root today. Updated SuperSU and chose to update binary via CWM instead of normal. Didn't work and I've posted about that on its relevant thread here.
As I said in my post there I tried reflashing the update.zip, but got a status 7 error, so I then tried AceGingerRoot.zip which was apparently successful in changing the binary from v1.27:SUPERSU (0) binary back to the old v2.3.1-ef (0) binary.
The problem is that I've still not got any root access. So the su files are all in the xbin folder, but apparently aren't readable.
TIA for your help/advice.
There is an app by CF called 'SU update fixer'. Try if it works.

My understanding is that SU Update Fixer is for people that can't update their SuperUser app via the market. I don't have any such problem. But thanks.

I am having the same issues trying to remove bloatware. I was using Clean Master (a great app BTW) and I checked the files to delete but it would not delete them. Tried NOBLOAT but it would not delete them either.
