I have a Samsung Captivate SGH-i897 that was running 4.3 Slimbean. Updated to
Android 4.4.4 Slim 4.4.4.build.9.0-WEEKLY-8328, Slim_galaxymtd-userdebug 4.4.4 KTU840 8328 test-key, and 3.0.101_NeatKernal_v1.11-g 75f7180. SELinux status=Enforced.
AFter flashing the ROM and Gapps began adding back some apps from the Play Store
and tried to do a backup with Titanium Backup but had NO ROOT ACCESS!
SuperSU reports "no SU binary found and can't load it. This is a problem."
Help! To root again but, how if that's the simple answer
Used Root Checker to check, says NO ROOT. Is it possible it IS STILL rooted and just some other problem?
Root is disabled due of security reasons on SlimRoms builds by default. If you want to enable root do the following:
Unlock developer options -> Go the settings about and tap 7 times on the build number to unlock it. If succesfull you will see a toast message that you have unlocked it.
Then got into Settings->Developer options
Search for root access. And either chose app or app and adb as option
You have now enabled system wide root access.

I had this same issue, and fixed it with just googling it. this post was the first that showed up. second was the slimroms site. enjoy.
p.s.--look up "SilentDenizen i897" on youtube.

hey guys i have one problem with supersu.
i installed clean master and do cleaning **** and startup cleaning things and after reboot all apps that have granted root permission( foldermount, gmd gestures, lightflow, etc), these apps shows no toast popup after boot and to make them grant permissions i have to open them. Same thing when i installed boot manager and did not do anything but boot and again no supersu toast popups about root permissions after boot.
is there a way to keep the root grants after the boot? ( i have checked default acces to grant in supersu app)
I'm having problems with clean master working with SuperSu too.
clean master is so powerfull that disables supersu permissions.
They probably change some file permissions that SuperSU frowns at.

This option has a summary that's pretty unclear. I've emailed the dev, hope to receive an answer soon. Fact is apps running during the boot_completed seem to get root randomly if this option is not enabled! Let me insist on the random fact, as my apps get root on boot frequently but not all the time. Other users have reported the same random behavior. Once the option is enabled everything works as expected!
However the option seem to imply that any root request on boot will be granted!? Regardless of user choice????
To make it short, check the option "enable supersu during boot" and root apps will receive root on boot as they used to!

You should turn this into a proper bug report in the proper thead (either the beta or its own new thread) with all the useful information you think may be relevant. There is no email support, all support is here.
The option itself is for apps that run before Android is fully up and running, or su from adb shell during a bootloop, etc. I thould not influence apps running su from bootcomplete receivers, and if it does, then that needs to be investigated.
Is there currently any way to enable this feature via ADB on a boot looped phone? I really wish I would have known about this! I wouldn't be stuck where I'm at if I had only checked this option. Device is stuck at LG logo, no download or recovery, but has access to ADB. SU was installed, but I don't have root via ADB since the phone isn't finished booting...thus I'm not able to copy over the proper system.img or change the recovery/laf. Dang!
I have the problem too, when I install Fake Wifi, the automatic SuperSU granted is not working. Please help some advance. Thank's.
Hey guys why root required apps request for root access after installing super su
I have the same problem, have to add a task in tasker, auto open supersu and root granted apps once after boot,
Hey all. Running the next-to-latest version of Chroma (3/15 I think; the one that can be clean flashed and not 3/18 though I might just flash the new version and hope for the best if I can't figure this out). I've successfully granted root access since installing the ROM (doubletap to wake app), but now when apps ask for su I get the prompt and can't tap any of the options. I tried to open the SuperSU app but it doesn't exist in my drawer. It shows that it's installed under "All Apps" in settings>apps, and on the play store it says "Installed" but won't allow me to open/uninstall. I flashed a package called "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip" through TWRP right after flashing Chroma.
Edit: Running Franco Kernel nightly r20, gapps-L-3-17-15, most recent thing I installed was FDroid marketplace which I haven't even opened yet and vomertweaks which is the first app to try and get permissions and fail.
Update: Turns out that SuperSU was in my system apps (I hadn't installed it that way before; my bad). I still couldn't get it to cooperate, even with reinstallations. Flashed the new version of Chroma and the same SuperSu package, working so far.
Quick question: why does my Privacy Guard in CM12.1. not show any root access settings at all?
Hi, just bought Amazon Fire Tablet 7", updated to 5.1.1., and installed CM12.1. with SuperSU. Everything worked. However, I decided to switch to CM's built-in root enabler (because it's open-source), so I ditched SuperSU through SuperSU's "Switch superuser apps" feature in SuperSU settings. SuperSU was automatically uninstalled, then I enabled the root privileges through Developer Options and this method too worked like a charm.
However, my Privacy Guard does not show the root access settings, so I have no control whatsoever on which application can or cannot have the root privileges, except turning root off altogether. A few root applications, e.g. AdAway, are working without problem but I was never prompted to grant them the root access in the first place. I've installed new applications, such as Greenify, but it too can access to the root without me explicitly granting the permission. I've also checked if Privacy Guard works at all, and it does, when I disabled locations service, I was prompted to enable it.
I did a factory reset within CM12.1. but to no avail. Any ideas or suggestions? If possible I'd like to get this sorted and try every solution before reverting back to SuperSU. Cheers.

Don't have a definitive answer; there are various bug reports from users who have dabbled with SuperSU and the integrated CM12.1 root manager. Thoughts:
- reinstall SuperSU as it is well respected and will likely restore app level access permissions with minimal effort/fuss/risk
- if you prefer to stick with the integrated root manager I would suggest clean flashing CM12.1
- however, since your devices bootloader is likely > 5.0.1 you'll need to use a tool like FlashFire which carries increased risk (albeit small)
- developers tend to test/validate rom updates with SuperSU - a possible consideration moving forward

Exactly what I am thinking; something is probably broken along the switching process. Cheers anyway.
Is there any way to use SuperSU in CM13 or CM13 based roms such as Resurrection Remix? In particular on a Nexus 6P?
I ask because I have been using RR for quite some time now but until recently never really noticed the limitations of CM's privacy guard. SuperSU pro has always seemed like a better implementation of a Root management app to me when I've used it in the past on previous devices.
I had considered just disabling root access from the setting in developer options and then updating the binary from the SuperSU app via TWRP and hoping that SuperSU would take over root management after that but I have read that a few people have bricked/bootlooped their devices after doing that and I don't want to have to deal with fixing that.
Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

After disabling the root option within the Developer Options, when you open SuperSU and go to the Settings, do you leave the option for "Respect CM root settings" unchecked?
With CM/LOS, when you disable the root option, in SuperSU, you need to keep the "Respect CM root settings" unchecked or SuperSU will default the root to Disabled.
Many individuals don't know that.

I don't see that option at all after installing the SuperSU app. I have SuperSU pro too in case it makes a difference.
When I load SuperSU it keeps asking me to update the su binary through TWRP but my concern is that if I do this it will lead to bricking/bootlooping my Nexus since I already have CMs su binary installed as part of CM13/RR.
Do I need to perform the update before I can see the option? Also will it cause bootlooping if I replace CMs su binary with SuperSUs?

I am in the same boat. I am using the the latest RR FROM which is awesome, but I'm not wanting to use magical. Have always used super SU and stick Mount for my next SD. Would like to know the process for disabling manual and cm/Los root mgmt. To use Super SU. I can't use stick Mount with root explorer without super SU. WHEN I try to update binary it fails and if I try to flash in recovery, I get stuck in boot loop and have to restore backup.
Having a similiar problem on Galaxy S2 with RR 5.8.2 - installed SeperSu and it fails to update its binary when I choose 'normal'. Tried Cwm/Twrp option on a stock rom once and the phone got softbricked. Converting SuperSu to system app doesn't help.

No such option appears in SuperSu after disabling root access in dev options here also.
There was a time a while ago that I had asked something similar to to one of the CyanogenMod Team Developers.
I was told that when the Superuser option (in the Developer Options) is set to disabled, that means that the CyanogenMod systems Superuser access is left open. When one of the other options are set, that means that the CyanogenMod system is set to manage Superuser access that is seen by the new access to the Manage Root Access option below it.
So in short, disabled means root access is left open and CyanogenMod doesn't manage it.
If you use another root management app, like SuperSU, and leave the Root Access on disabled, then SuperSU takes on managing Root Access.
I've never had a problem with SuperSU and always left the Root Access disabled.
I hope i had explained it okay...

Disabled Root access in developer options, rebooted phone and started Supersu, it tries ro update its binaries and fsils again. Then I look for the "respect CM root settings" option but don't see it.
Some people are having success flashing the Supersu.zip through TWRP but isn't there a risk of replacing the RR bundled recovery and ending in bootloop? Is it possible to flash TWRP zip from RR recovery without causing more issues?

I attached an image of where in SuperSU the setting is but, I leave it unchecked...
Try flashing the SuperSU zip since flashing it also installs the binaries too.
Hi all, i just flashed LineageOS 16 on my S5 Mini SM-G800F variant.
I like the Rom and i wanna keep it, so i want to get or activate the root access on it, but i don't know how since i've searched everywhere, but there's no solution so i decided to make post here.
1- Flashed rom
2- Flashed GApps ARM 9.0 nano.
3- Flashed Magisk v17.1.zip
4- Rebooted.
Everything works fine, but the Magisk is missing.
I enabled Developer Options but there is no option for the root access.
I find an option for the root access only when i open Settings app and type "root" in the searchbar.
What i get when i hit "root access" , the "Trust" app opens and there is two sections and few more options in it which is:
Status
SELinux
(Disabled)
Root Access
(Disabled)
Android Security Patches
Platform: up to date
Vendor: up to date
Encryption
(Disabled)
When i hit on Root Access, i get following message:
"Root access allows the bypassing of security restrictions.... etc.. which can cause damage to your device or OS.
Can someone help, please?
I don't know what to do.
