[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:

Need help installing arm64 sdk23 on HTC10. Installed but currently not active.

Hi,
My goal is to successfully install the Xposed framework on the HTC10. I have a stock RUU ROM, unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP recovery, and rooted it with Supersu with force encryption per Rootjunky.com videos on YouTube. Specifically, I'm using the xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64.zip, SuperSU-v2.71-forceencrypt_v2, TWRP-3.0.2-6-pme. Then I proceeded to install the Xposed framework and APK. It flat out dosesn't work. the Bin folder and log folders are empty and I receive "The latest version of Xposed is currently not active. Did you install the framework and reboot?" I have verified my root is working with a number of other apps. I have tried resolved the issue by executing the methods listed in this article: Can't post links yet cause I'm a noob. And they didn't work. I have completely wiped my device internal and external and tried rerooting and reinstalling and I still get the same result. I also have tried installing older version of the Xposed framwork. I have spend days troubleshooting it and I can't figure it out. No matter what I get the Currently not active.
Some of my reading points to the SE Linux Mode being set to "Enforcing" being the culprit as to why it is not working. I have no idea what this is. However, I can confirm that mine is set to Enforcing despite me executing all three steps in the aforementioned article. I installed that lean kernel so it should be set to permissive I would think but Device Control app shows otherwise.
When I click on Logs in the the Xposed Installer, it says Could not read log /data/data/de.robv/android/xposed.installer/log/error.log. I can confirm that it is installing something because the DE.ROBV.ANDROID.XPOSED.INSTALLER directory is there. And all of the sub directories are present. But bin and log directories are empty which I find odd. I would expect to see many files in there especially the Bin folder.
Any ideas how to resolve this without a log file? I'm sure the HTC10 is arm64 so that shoudn't be the issue. any ideas why this isn't installing correctly? Is it the SE Linux Mode? Do I need to S-Off of something? Any help appreciated!
Regards, Matt.:good:

Rooting LN14????

Could someone please point me at instructions on how to root LN14.
I've searched the HD/HD+ forums for 'root LN14' and 'rooting LN14' and got no results (which by itself is suspicious).

have you enabled Developer Options?

I, for one, had no luck with either SuperSu or addon su. The first would put the HD+ into a permanent boot loop necessitating a re-install from scratch,and the latter would install but the unit still indicated it was not rooted. Doing the Dev Op made no difference. A real mystery!

The file addonsu-14.1-arm.zip in the main folder is the one to use. As I seem to recall, you might have to enable, disable, then re-enable, in order for root access to take effect.

That is the one I flashed using 3.0.1.0 TWRP. Not clear on your second sentence: "...enable, disable,, then re-enable...". Forgive me for being lost as to what you physically/specifically mean. Please explain.
Thanks.

I meant "enable, disable,, then re-enable" the root access option in "Developer Options".

Aha! Will give it a go. Thanks.
5/2/2018:
Okay: I d/l three android root checkers and titanium backup. The first root checker (Clivin Inc. with small green android robot graphic) told me I was not rooted both before following your above instructions and after. The other two (d/l after following the above) both say I am rooted. However, I was not and am still not able to get "TB" to run. It says "failed" and that I am not rooted.
Since the HD+ is running really well now in its stripped down mode, I can "leave well enough alone" or try to get "TB" working so I can remove anything not needed for my chosen minimal functionality (ereader, viewing videos, photo review/minor editing) that would further reduce unnecessary battery drain.
Thanks again for the above clarification and any additional thoughts.

I am having this same problem
- Root options *do* appear in my Developer settings, but no amount of toggling on/off/on seems to enable root
- I have flashed the Lineage SU addon, log shows successful in TWRP but no change after boot
- SuperSU from Play Store says "SU Binary occupied"
- Adaway says "Rooted Android required- Either the su binary could not be found or you did not allow root permission for Adaway" ie I believe I am indeed *not* rooted.
- SuperSU flashable zip is a broken link on their website.... http://www.supersu.com/download
Out of ideas here, anyone got anything else I can try?
Edit: I was able to obtain Root properly by flashing Magisk & installing the Magisk Manager APK from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

You got it. Use Magisk. Works wonders and way better than SuperSU or any other root permission tool I've came across. It's even akin to, and even has within it, xposed and other magical rooted modules for you to try out for a day or two and then decide you don't need it.

Changed Magisk, now stuck on startup splash

This morning Pokemon Go stopped working on my phone. I found this which said to use the "Hide Magisk Manager" option from within Magisks Settings page, and then delete the MagiskManager folder from the SD card. I did that, restarted my phone, and Go started working again. Oddly though, Chrome wouldn't work, and kept crashing with "Unfortunately, Chrome has stopped." (whether I was actively trying to use it or not). Off of a fresh restart I could open chrome, but if I tried to load any webpages it would stay loading forever.
To try and fix that, I went back into Magisk and hit the "Restore Magisk Manager" option, and restarted my phone. Now, my phone won't boot -- it gets stuck loading on the splash screen. I seem to only be digging myself a deeper and deeper hole with each thing I do. How do I get my phone back up and running?
I'm running the latest RR (I think it's 6.1.0?)

Flash the Magisk uninstaller from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/ap...v7-universal-systemless-t3473445/post68966662
You should then be back to an unrooted state.

Have you tried reflashing your Rom?
Also, what did you expect to Halen with magisk, after you have decided to delete it's manager folder?

Repackaging and restoring the Magisk Manager should not have anything to do with the issues you started experiencing. If you can get your device up an running again (as already suggested, uninstalling Magisk might be a good way), could you recreate the problem and grab a logcat when Chrome crashes and when the phone get's stuck on boot.

Deleting the MagiskManager folder from the internal storage is harmless. It's just used to store downloaded Magisk zips, module zips and saved logs. It'll be recreated when needed. Pokemon Go have started to detect this folder and use it as a sign of a rooted device. Deleting it is one way of getting PoGo running again.

I'm trying to keep myself in SuperSU, is easier and compatible with almost any app, I know that development stopped. But I feel that Magisk is a great tool but can be complicated.

First try using your computer to create a file without a name and with disable_.magisk as an extension.
Kinda like. disable_magisk
And use TWRP to copy this to /cache.
See if it boots up.

Hello I have the same problem unauthorized_device_lockout

Hi i found a fix, you just need to reflash magisk patched boot.img from your phone(hope you backed it up) and the system.img / custom os (i didnt even have to wipe my data) lol

Lineage OS 17 getting "Magisk is not installed"

I'm at my wits end trying to get Magisk back!
(The backstory is that I had been running a DirtyUnicorns OS for a year just fine, but then Pokemon Go started failing to login. So it was time to update.)
Using a Samsung Tab 4 (SM-T330NU)
Formatted and installed stock OS/boot
Used Odin to flash "twrp-3.0.0-3"
Used TWRP recovery to update to "twrp-3.3.1-0"
Installed "Lineage OS 17" (and added Gapps) - made sure it booted and all was well
Booted into TWRP recovery and installed the latest "Magisk-v20.4"
Wiped cache and rebooted
Installed the latest "MagiskManager-v7.5.1" and got "Magisk is not installed"
After a great deal of searching I learned how this is supposed to be corrected:
Took the boot.img from the Lineage OS 17 zip,
Used Magisk to patch it, creating "magisk_patched.img"
Used TWRP recovery to install "magisk_patched.img" to the boot section
Wiped cache and rebooted
Still getting "Magisk is not installed"
Booted into TWRP recovery and installed the latest "Magisk-v20.4" just in case
Still getting "Magisk is not installed"
This is all after roadblocks for hours a day for a week trying to pass safetynet using Magisk on Lineage OS 16 for about a week, so I thought this fresh start would be easier and now I'm pulling my hair out.
Any suggestions would be helpful. I just want to be able pass safetynet and my ctsProfile match fails. Which I can't even begin to work on without Magisk core.
Thanks in advance.

First thing I would check is if the Manager is installed to external/adoptable storage. The Manager can't work properly like that...

Thanks for the quick reply!
How do I check to see where it's installed and/or reinstall it to the proper storage? Because that could be it.
There's no SD card or USB device plugged in and I couldn't find more information online (I even scoured didgeridoohan.com before posting here).

Also, and this may be helpful, it appears the device is not rooted. Fx file explorer and root checker apps confirm this. So it's possible even with the steps I followed that Magisk core really isn't installed and the apk is telling the truth (I'm just at a loss to know how that's possible after flashing the zip and flashing the patched boot file, both in twrp).

If you have no SD card installed adoptable storage won't be an issue.
You can easily verify through TWRP if the core Magisk files have been installed. Check in /data/adb/magisk. It should contain busybox, magisk, magiskboot and magiskinit binaries, together with addon.d, boot_patch and util_functions scripts.
Seeing the recovery log from when you attempt to install the Magisk zip in TWRP might show us something. Also try the could also be a good idea trying the Canary release to see if there's any difference from stable v20.4.

(This thread can be locked/(closed?)/answered)
I tried my damnedest and nothing worked. So I wiped/formatted lineage-17.1-20200512 and installed lineage-17.1-20200419. THIS was the ease with which I was accustomed to installing Magisk (Recovery install and immediately working on boot). Sadly, other problems abound and they are outside the scope of this subforum.
Just in case anyone reads this and cares:
- GPS Joystick was a no-go because apparently Lineage has a not-so-nifty feature that blocks the "draw over apps" android feature if your RAM is below some secret threashhold, which prevents the entire app from functioning.
- Fake GPS can take getting used to, and I'm used to it and love it, but the location and routing keeps crashing in the background, which means pogo closes when I tab back to start it back up again.
- Regardless of which I use I am rubberbanding back to my house... despite using all the tricks I can find or think of (yes, including 'smali patcher', specific app settings, systemizing the GPS app, setting off/on mock locations, etc)... but I think it's because this OS has no unique setting for the GPS data to be "device only".
Problems one and two are due to the ****ty ram on this Samsung tablet, which I've always known was an issue, so I suppose it might just be time to buy a phone specifically for this purpose. From what I read, the best cost effective option is an iPhone SE, and I'm truly not an Apple fan (I certainly would not risk my own phone being bricked or even merely wiped).
Not sure how I used it for the last year without this many issues, but it seems like that's over now unless I want to deal with DirtyUnicorn OS again, and that was it's own nightmare sometimes.
Thanks all for reading, but especially Didgeridoohan for replying and for all the resources on your pages and threads.
