[ROOT] SGP312 FTF 10.3.1.C.0.136 Root (No need OTA)

Hi
I have tested the root tool from China forum. My device is SGP312 WIFI 32GB 10.3.1.C.0.136. No need to unlocked.
Download the attachment and install. One click and then it will reboot. It is rooted!
But the root-mangement software is Chinese. You can download Supersu or Superuser.
Use the Chinese root software to give Supersu or Superuser root access.
Run Supersu or Superuser and upgrade the binary. Exit and uninstall the Chinese root software.
Reboot. Then you are rooted with Supersu or Superuser.

incredible...works on sgp321 .244......good job....juat install supersu afterwards and remove the chinese app....greatttttt

Good! I can confirm it works, just rooted my still locked SGP311FR with it.
What I don't like it's an exe file, install the app then run it to root.
If someone can extract the script and replace the root apk by superSU it would be cool.
Also I noticed while rooting my tablet that the screen became white two times (really fast for less than a second, sort of blink) like the Display tricks that were used before to root our xperia's.
Anyway thanks.
Btw : @insideccw posting a link to the source, and maybe the name of the autor of this tool, would be better if it's not your own tool.

That might be the exploit that is accessing the framebuffer causing it.

I tried this with my 312, but upon removing the chinese superuser with Titanium-backup, i could no longer use Superuser or SuperSU from the play-store. Any insight on to what exactly you guys went about this? I have reset using PC Companion.

Word fine With 4.2.2 thx a lot

I think you need to install the alternative superuser app before deleting the Chinese one. I used superuser by chainsdd on my sp

works great...thanks

That's pretty much what I did. I've tried SuperSU, superuser, and the cwm app. The problem seems to be that the updated binaries don't "stick", SuperSU claimed updating was a success but then prompted me to do so every time I opened it.

I don't know if the info in this thread may be of any use : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1539711.
Specifically in the OP :
Remember, if you remove older first without installing newer one, you will lose Root n newer won't run.
One more thing market version will be regular application, so hard reset can delete it. So better install with flashable zip, to make it system application.
And in Post #8 :
Confirmed working fine! Recommended to install via CWM. It will replace the other (superuser) automatically so you don't have to manually remove it.
I used the above zip file and instructions a long time ago on my Galaxy S....but it may still be relevant for Tablet Z.

What I've been doing us installing from the play store, updating binaries, and then removing the Chinese app. Once I do that, I lose root in the market superSU and other root apps.
I'll probably end up unlocking the boot loader and flashing an image over adb.
Thanks for the help!

That is because you dont have /system r/w access.

It worked for me...I accidentally removed the Chinese app.
1. I did a reroot again.
2. installed dualrecovery and flashed the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip.
3. It works now.

Supersu and cwm superuser caused my phone to go in a reboot loop when I tried updating the binaries. Superuser by ChainsDD is working fine though.

insideccw,
Any tips on how t go about correcting this? Would I need to use adb or can I handle this form within android?
EDIT: Looks like others are having the same issue.

Doesn't work with SGP321 LTE tablet (on the newest firmware .244)
1. in order to uninstall the chinese root app one needs to have SuperSu
2. once you install SuperSU the root checker shows "OK, you're rooted"
3. once you get rid of the chinese root the root checker shows "you're NOT rooted" and the SuperSU binaries can't get updated (strange it needs another update)

Works on mine. Update the superuser binaries before deleting Chinese superuser app. On mine, supersu detected the Chinese one and deleted it for me

For those of you having this issue as I was, I just got mine to work with SuperSU. Hopefully these steps will work for you too:
-Gain root with the magical Chinese root tool
-install SuperSU
-update SuperSU binaries
-in SuperSU settings, choose "Switch superuser app"
-reboot the tablet and immediately go to the playstore and install SuperSU
-update SuperSU binaries
Let me know if it works!

Lollipop root problem(s)

Background info:
1) Rooted my Xperia Z lollipop 5.0.2 with king root
2)phone is unlocked bootloader(or what ever it's called, I checked with the service config)
3) Got no idea about rooting aha
Problem 1: Can't change kingroot to SuperSU. I followed the method I thread used but it said something about not being mounted properly on the terminal and before it said I have to install busy box
Problem 2: I'm trying to enter recovery mode so I can install the zip file for xposed frameworks. I'm using XZrecovery and it says to install busybox. I did that(I downloaded busynox and busybox installer) for busybox, I tried the smart install but it said it wouldn't install. I tried busybox installer and I still didn't install (said something like its compatitable for this edition ). This is for TWRP recovery that I saw on youtube
3) Problem 3
I can't enter recovery mode normally by pressing the power and volume up . it just vibrates 4 times and doesn't turn on
So yeah I need help with those problems. I tried looking through the forums but they are all so weird and complicated
Sorry I'm really new to all of this

[Guide] Pass Safetynet on a rooted 7.0 AOSP based ROM - Updated 11-01-2016

Update (11/09) - This method no longer works with the november security updates from Google as it causes suhide to break.
Here are the steps to follow
If you are already rooted, fully unroot. I do this by doing the following.
1) In the SuperUser app, go to settings and choose to do a full unroot. Choose "No" when it prompts you to restore your stock boot.img
2) Let the system reboot normally.
3) Reboot to recovery
4) If you have Magisk installed, flash the Magisk uninstaller Link
5) If you have suhide installed, flash rm-suhide 0.51 Link
6) Flash your ROM's boot.img extracted from your ROM (simply dirty flashing should also work), or install a custom kernel of your choice
At this point you should have a stock boot.img (or custom kernel) with no traces of SuperUser anywhere
Install SuperUser 2.78 Link
Install suhide 0.55 Link
Reboot into system. Verify that you have root. I'm not 100% sure this is necessary, but I like to do it before proceeding.
Reboot back into recovery.
Flash xsetpropSu.zip (attached to this post) Link

work around found

no longer relevant post..

I don't know if the kernel can be modified to pull that trick. Even if someone does though, it's not going to last long. Every bypass you can find, Google can find. Then they know what to fix. The only way to win, is not to play.
And no, you can't lock the bootloader without wiping data.

Well I got it to work...I will turn this thread into a Guide. Who knows how long it will last, but...at least it's working for now.

Thread updated with instructions. I hope this can help someone!

So there's no way to do this without rooting and magisk?

I want root, so I did not try to do that. If your bootloader is unlocked, I do not think there's a way to do it.

Yes I just followed these instructions and I am green panel. I have to check at a terminal to pay with phone but it probably will work. One note that was kinda unclear in case others do same....It should read :
Turn the Root switch ON....not OFF....when wanting to use AP. You can turn it back on when you want to do other things that require root permissions. I believe this is dynamic and working with the magisk mount point in addition to tricking the boot process into thinking the bootloader is locked.
Thanks so much for this. I was so angry with Google. And I was just going to say FK it and not use AP.
WORKS! Do all the steps in the order he says above and you can turn root off and on at will and have Android Pay work just fine! YAY!

FYI - The latest version of the xSetProp zip (0.2.1 as of this post) handles setting that prop automatically, and has additional logging. I'd recommend using that and you can remove that portion of your guide.

Thank you! Instructions updated (also tried to give proper credit all around).
I think Chainfire might be in the process of doing something similar without the need for Magisk.
I suppose we could also probably use the xsetprop binary along with a su.d script to run the necessary commands on startup? This would avoid having to use Magisk all together.
If I get some time I might try that out.

No longer works after I reboot the device. It's almost like it knows about my hack. It passes the safety net thing with green screen yet I get message saying that can't verify blah blah...your phone might be rooted! I've updated to 0.2.1 of the xprop and double checked the other things like suhide and magisk and so on. Wth ... Less than a day and Google changed something? I'm baffled. Help!

I am 100% successful with M ROMs like ResRemix
However on my Nexus 6 with N ROMs (like Nitrogen or cDroid) I can't get SafetyNet to pass this way. With Root Switch I can get PoGo to work but following these instructions to a T I still don't have green SN
I wonder if it is the kernel ? What kernel have you been successful with?
Lastly are you aware of any way to find success with 7.1 ROMs?

Yea I know I think it's something to do with either the kernel I've selected or perhaps suhide no longer works...I'm not sure what the deal is. I'm running Franco #55 and even without root, I get failure but inside the testing app ...see attached

Thanks for this write-up! I was able to pass SafetyNet in both apps while running Pure Nexus 7 w/ Stock OpenGapps.
I think one key thing that was skipped in the OP - be sure your ROM is SafetyNet compatible to begin with. I've run numerous ROMs that even before Google started checking bootloaders, wouldn't pass SafetyNet even if unrooted. For example, I just tried the OP method with Despair's new 7.1 ROM and it failed (probably won't work on 7.0 either). But with Pure Nexus 7.0 it works great.

I'm using stock Rom and only custom kernel so this should work on Nbd90z....I'd think. Last test was dreaded message but I'm trying to add few things to suhide blacklist. We shall see

I get the green screen. But then when I tap at store nfc terminal...it claims error....I'm going to try hiding nfc service, and what I think is play services based on uid chainfire explained. I'll try a small purchase and remember to screen capture the error if occurs

I built the mod for people that were already using Magisk. If you're not using Magisk, then of course you can try just putting the binary in /su/xbin and put the post-fs-data.sh in /su/su.d and see if that works for setting the props at boot time.
I don't use Xposed, so using Magisk + phh's Superuser was my target for the module. I also did try the su.d method with SuperSU, but it wasn't working on my device. I also didn't want to have to use RootSwitch. But feel free to unpack the zip and try whatever combinations you want.

Still working for me. Are you sure you disabled root in Root Switch? It automatically re-enables upon logon. Also be sure your xsetprop file is correct.
You can check by using the getprop command

I'm using it for android pay not pogo. And I did. I'm sure the prop is right or wouldn't get green go. It's an error from AP saying something about unable to verify and might be rooted....or words to that effect

[SOLVED] Can I really switch from SuperSU ?

Hi there fellows ! ^^
First of all, I want you all to know that I really am sorry if this is something that has been asked before. I tried, but couldn't find an answer by myself and I don't want to damage my phone again (I may have been waaaaay too hasty in the past...). So here goes.
I have a Honor 5C NEM-L51 (European variant) which I rooted a while ago (two or three months ago maybe ? Can't remember for sure) by unlocking the bootloader, installing TWRP from ADB, flashing the SuperSU zip file... You know, the usual thing. After that I went ahead and installed Xposed Framework, Busybox and several applications and modules which needed root like many of you I guess. Everything went fine. And still is, for the record.
Now I realize that I may have been living under a rock because I discovered very recently that not only SuperSU can be downloaded from the Play Store but also that there is Magisk, an open-source alternative with more functionnalities. Guess what ? I want it.
Soooo I did some research and read this https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 along with other articles here and there on the web and it seems that I'd just have to install some Magisk Manager app' from the Play Store... Is that really all there is to do ?!
I'm worried because it says "If you're already rooted with MagiskSU or Latest Official Systemless SuperSU". Yep, the "Systemless" part get me worried. While I do understand what it means, I can't help but wonder : since I installed SuperSU from a flashable zip file, is it Systemless ? How can I tell ?
Plus the whole thing is kinda confusing to me. If I do that, will Magisk remove SuperSU ? But if so, won't there be a problem with Xposed and other apps that need root ? Same question applies if I first manually remove SuperSU (assuming I can actually do that) before installing anything else.
In short, how should I proceed ? Do I have to remove anything ? Can I do anything ?
Again, sorry if things had been told already. I really want to take my shot, but I don't wanna soft brick my device again by being too carefree one more time.
Thank you for your time and your help.

When super su is installed magisk will make it automatically systemless. But it can't guarantee that it can always hide it. If super su isn't installed /you are unrooted then magisk will install and use magisk su.
Also since you mentioned them: soft bricks can be resolved by just reflashing your Rom, no need to wipe (lose your data) in most cases

Yeah, I do know that, but I really do need my phone at the moment, so I'd kinda be in a world of pain if I brick it.

You can Uninstall super su if you want but it isn't a must if you don't care magisk su. I would remove xposed before installing magisk and after having installed magisk you can install the systemless version. As for your apps that use root, you don't need do deinstall them

Sorry for the late reply.
I do want to use Magisksu instead of SuperSU. So basically, what I have to do is :
1 - Uninstall Xposed by flashing the uninstaller from TWRP
2 - Uninstall SuperSu (by the app menu ? Is it enough to remove root ?
3 - Install Magisk from the store
4 - Install systemless Xposed from the store
And I'll be all set, correct ? Nothing should go wrong ?

Well, all I can find with Huawei Firmware Finder seems to be full or OTA ROM updates. I can't download the boot image only.
However, within the SuperSU app settings, there are two options : one to change superuser app and a second one to completely remove root. By any chance, does one of these options clear the boot image by itself ?

It can be a bit of a bother getting the boot image from inside a Huawei factory image...
SuperSU can restore your boot image when you do the full unroot. That was actually what I was referring to with my 2.5.

Hi all,
Yesterday I've unlocked my Oneplus 3T bootloader and installed TWRP.
After that I flashed Lineage 14.1, Open Gapps, addonsu-14.1-arm64-signed.zip and finally Magisk. Reboot and install SuperSu.
But I'm wondering if I still need to flash the Lineage addonsu and SuperSu.

But I'm wondering if I still need to flash the Lineage addonsu and SuperSu.

What are you doing mixing all those root solutions? Pick one... If you want Magisk, you do not need the other two.

Thanks. I probably missed something when reading the threads. I understood Magisk can root my devices, but didn't understood that simply installing it would root my device. So that's why I was flashing su binary and using SuperSU app.
Thanks a lot.

First of all I'm sorry for answering this post so late but I needed to do it.
Well, according to all I've seen about magisk, and obviously with this post, everything I must do to use magisk is:
1. Unlock Bootloader
2. Flash Official Stock ROM
3. Flash Magisk.zip
4. Install Magisk Manager
Is it all? Really? Shouldn't I do anything else, because I'm too worried about it. I've ever used SuperSU until now, and this things of MagiskSU, Magisk Manager and Magisk Hide option are really new for me.
If someone could answer me, including the owner of this post it'd be VERY APPRECIATED and I would thank you all a lot!
Thanks haha

It's not quite apparent from your post if you have rooted with SuperSU already and now want to use Magisk instead. But, considering that you're posting in a thread that deals with moving from SuperSU I'm gonna go with that... Kind of...
You will need an unlocked bootloader, yes.
If you've rooted with SuperSU you can reflash your ROM, or use something like @osm0sis unSU zip and then flash the stock boot image only. Depends on your setup which option is easier. If you're not already rooted, this step is unnecessary.
Installing Magisk is just as easy as that, yes.
The Manager is also installed when flashing the Magisk zip, so this step is unnecessary. However... In rare cases the Manager doesn't install with the zip. If that happens you just have to install it manually.
The only step I'd like to add is to have a backup of all important data and files on your device. That's always good practice when tinkering with your device...
The release thread and the installation/troubleshooting thread (I'm hoping to have time to update it for Magisk v15.2 tonight) are good resources when setting everything up and if you encounter issues. Searching through the general support thread is also a good idea if issues arise. Most questions have been answered numerous times already.

I'm new to Magisk but have a couple of questions. I have a pixel XL running Dirty UNICORNS rooted with SuperSU. If I want to use Magisk can I just flash my dirty UNICORNS rom, gapps and then the magisk.zip?

No. You merely need to uninstall SuperSU, either through the SuperSU app (complete uninstall) or by using the unSU zip. You'll also have to make sure that you restore the stock unpatched boot image.
After that you can flash Magisk and you'll be good to go.

Magisk + Root gone after installing RR-Rom

Hi everone,
After having my Samsung Galaxy S9+ for a while and been on team iPhone before that, I've been out the custom rom area. After a a couple week of considering it, I decided that today was the day.
What did i do?
-I followed HighOnAndroid written tutorial of flashing my S9+ using TWRP and Magisk. (I don't know if linking the website is okay, so I didn't.)
-Flashed Resurrection Rom and wanted to start it, which didn't go well (no Gapps).
-Installed Gapps Aroma, but didn't work so good, as i could not log into Google and got Maps/Calender/Photos errors.
-Booted into Recovery-->Wiped everything-->Installed RR-rom again-->Installed MindTheGapp.
This worked pretty good. I could login and stuff so i was happy about it. But not that I want to USE my rooted phone to the max, I couldn't find Magisk anywhere. There is no Magisk anything. What I still do have is TWRP Recovery.
Also when I checked via a root-check-app, it said that my phone isn't rooted... I do have RR-rom which is working perfectly.
Guys, WTF??
Can someone please tell me what I should do to get 'rooted' again.
Waiting for someone to help me get out of this hell. (Been trying to flash/root properly for hours. Just when I thought I was in the clear.... )
Thank you in advance.

Magisk has its own root built in so you just need to flash magisk

You wiped it when you flashed resurrection. Just flash magisk 18 zip in TWRP if you want root. Most ROMs do not come pre rooted these days because some people need safetynet to pass no matter what.
Magisk was in your original system, you wiped it and installed a new system (resurrection).

First, what Android version is the ROM you installed? If it's Android pie, xposed does not work on it. it doesn't matter what version of Android you were previously on before you flashed the ROM, the ROM could be a different version.
If it's Oreo or lower and,
if you are installing Xposed through magisk you also have to get the Xposed installer APK for magisk. The regular Xposed installer APK will not work.
In magisk manager in the downloads section tap Xposed SDK (?) and read the file that pops up it will have a link to the proper xposed installer APK.
Pick the Xposed SDK version that your device requires.
8.1 SDK 27
8.0 SDK 26
7.1.x SDK 25
Etc....

Thank you for replying.
My rom is on android 8.0
I installed Xposed via Magisk download section.
"XPOSED FRAMEWORK"
But when I opened it, it said my andoid version was not supported for sdk xxx. I can find that Xposed Framework (sdk xxx). Should i delete current version and install Framework (sdk xxx)?

I would. I always use the specific one rather than the unity package. Also make sure to get the Xposed app from the module description. The link will take you to the XDA thread containing the APK.
Edit: this thread. Xposed magisk APK 3.1.5

I just clicked on that link, it works. Third file in list is the APK. Get the framework from the magisk manager download section, get the APK from that thread.

Yep, install the APK. It's the Xposed installer/manager app modded to work with systemless Xposed
