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.

[Q] miui and busybox

is there any way to uninstall busybox from miui milestone/a853 ?
some apps don't work if su, busybox exist

Whats the problem you're experiencing?
Busybox and su are part of every rooted rom and they should not cause any trouble.

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

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.

adaway installation on official rom

Has anyone managed to install adaway on any official rom?
The program fails when trying to apply the hosts file.
Yes i have rooted the phone and yes i have granted permisions with supersu to adaway.

I had it many times. AdAway is working very wele. Maybe you have not full rooted phone. Use MyRoM it is full rotted and AdAway is preinstalled and many others additions.

Hey...
First step is normal root. If you are ready you have to delete the immutable.list on system. Then you can use adaway.
Booth ways need busybox! Install it before you try to delete immutable.
Make it with my tool - easy update and adjust (http://forum.xda-developers.com/asc...eandadjust-t2941186/post56774286#post56774286) or make it manuelly with your PC and ADB.
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cd system
chattr -R -i *
rm –f /system/set_immutable.list
lsattr (to see if it's still there)
On my device with stock Rom it works well!

Thank you, it works like a charm!!!

No problem...
Wich way you have choosed?

Your script, cause command prompt returned an error when trying to change attributes, the reason was that adb hadnt have su permissions and for some reason supersu didnt prompt me to grant them. But with your script supersu prompt me to give adb su permissions and so i did, after that it worked.
Strange dont you think?

[Q] Does the S6 root work for Edge?

I was checking out the Root Thread for S6 and realized that my Edge's ROM version matched one on there except for the G925 vs G920. Would that root work on my Edge's similar ROM?

Never EVER try to root your phone unless it meets ALL the requirements! Mine is a SAMSUNG-SM-G925V. Unless that root is developed for a SAMSUNG-SM-G925V, you're taking a chance on bricking your phone. There are things you can do to remove bloatware and improve battery performance, which are a couple of the main reasons for installing a different ROM. I've done it myself and find battery performance has drastically improved. Do some research and you'll find what settings you can change and which apps you can either uninstall or disable. I'm happy with the snappiness and performance of this phone and find with some simple adjustments, it makes this phone even better. We will just have to be patient to see if the bootloader can be unlocked. Who knows when or if that will happen any time soon! Hope that addresses your question.

I didn't realize that was the case and went ahead installing the apk. Bad news, it didn't work. Good news, the app tells you it doesn't work for G925V yet.

There's been an update. Version 3.2 of the app works fine on current Verizon S6 Edge software. I currently am sitting on one with root.

That's awesome news, thanks! I'll try it out when I get home today.

Yup - just used the updated APK and it worked like a charm. Went ahead and swapped out King for SuperSU.. that too works great.

How did you swapped king for super su?

Check out the Q&A area of the PINGPONGROOT thread.. its all listed in there. I copied/pasted from it, but it might not transfer the code exactly correct..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-pingpongroot-s6-root-tool-t3103016
Q: I'd like switching to SuperSU, what shall I do?
A: Kinguser does not have a "swtich" function. Follow these steps to do so manually: (if you are not familiar with adb, see this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=269)
1. Download supersu.7z and extract it. You will get the files needed to install Supersu.
2. Using adb to push su and busybox (if not installed) to /data/local/tmp.
Code:
adb push su /data/local/tmp
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp
3. Start a su session and run the following commands:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
cat /data/local/tmp/su >/system/xbin/daemonsu && chmod 0755 /system/xbin/daemonsu
cat /data/local/tmp/busybox >/system/bin/busybox && chmod 0755 /system/bin/busybox
daemonsu -d &
Then keep the session running.
4. Open Kinguser, go to Settings -> Root authorization setting -> Remove Root permission. Click to remove root permission. Your su session should be still running.
5. Uninstall Kinguser app.
6. Go back to the su session and run following commands to replace su and cleanup:
Code:
cat /data/local/tmp/su >/system/xbin/su && chmod 0755 /system/xbin/su
busybox chattr -ia /system/bin/ddexe
busybox chattr -ia /system/bin/ddexe_real
cat /system/bin/ddexe_real >/system/bin/ddexe
busybox chattr -ia /system/xbin/ku.sud
rm /system/xbin/ku.sud
rm /system/xbin/pidof
rm /system/xbin/supolicy
7. Install Supersu apk
8. Open Supersu apk to update files.
9. Reboot.

If your version matches what's in the pingpong root thread then yes. I rooted my S6E a few min ago.

rooted. has anyone installed TWRP? what's the best way to go about doing that? TWRP manager doesn't list verizon specific s6.
I want to flash the no-deep-sleep fix

I believe you can't install a custom recovery yet as it will trip knox. Might want to go through the posts on the root thread.

Thanks. Yeah sorry it's a bit hard to follow the latest news since there are a thousand threads on all the s6/edge forums talking about the same issue. If the recovery is untouched, do we need to worry about the deep sleep problem? I've read it was caused by recovery.
