SuperSu not granting automatic permissions anymore

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,

Uninstall as system app

The method I used for rooting my LG G3 (v5.0.1) installs SuperSU (2.46) as a system app. I would much prefer to have it be a regular app (as it has always been on my Android devices prior to v5.0). When I use SuperSU to clean up in preparation for "another" SU app, it removes itself and leaves behind a few files (including the su binary) in /system/xbin.
All well and good. However, after now installing SuperSU from the Google Play Store, SuperSU gives the message that there is no su binary installed, and of course refuses to work. I even tried copying su to "sux" and giving the latter 4755 privileges (while still rooted), but that didn't help.
Is this a bug in SuperSU, or is it a necessity of Android 5.x ???
ps: The XDA forum software will not let me post this as a question. Where do I post questions about SuperSU?

Sorry as I don't have a solution for your problem....
But still as far as I know Super user 2.46 is not fully compatible with android 5 & above.
On other hand I would suggest you to give a try to super user 2.49 beta which is the latest but still under development.
Hope you find this useful.

If you want to make SuperSU a user app:
If SuperSU was "updated" by the Play Store (ie there's an eu.chainfire.supersu-*.apk in /data/app), then delete /system/app/SuperSU.apk and reboot. If it's flashed *and* the afore mentioned apk is *not* in /data/app, then move /system/app/SuperSU.apk to /data/app and reboot.

If all you wanted to do was make it a user app, reroot, open supersu, go to cleanup and choose for reinstallation. After choosing that, if it says to reboot then press it again, do so, else reboot and install supersu from play. Done, supersu as a user app

That doesn't work (v2.46 on LG G3 running v5.0.1). It loops trying to uninstall. After a couple minutes, I forced a reboot. SuperSU was still there, and as a system app.
Edit: The same thing happens when I tell SuperSU to completely unroot the LG G3. Since I needed to unroot in order to apply an LG/Verizon OTA update, I used LG's Flash Tool to replace the system partition (THAT removed SuperSU!), and then the OTA update was successful.
Since LG now supplies an on-phone backup/restore tool for the G3 as part of the Settings menu, I no longer need to run Titanium Backup, which means I no longer need root. Given the nuisance issues with rooting/unrooting/system updating/etc, I've decided to remain unrooted on the LG G3 for the time being. Quite a change for me, since this is the first Android device in well over a dozen for which I've made this decision.

Uninstall system app

Hi I just rooted my Z1 using KingoRoot APK app and I installed Lucky Patcher to install Floating Fake Location as "system app". The thing is, I cannot uninstall Floating Fake Location afterwards using tools like Root Uninstaller Pro,KingoSuperUser etc. At first I thought it was Floating Fake Location issue but soon I realize I can't even uninstall other Sony bloatware such as Socialife, Xperia Lounge etc.
Please enlighten me why I can't uninstall system app even tho I am rooted.
P/S: it may have something to do with my root (partial? as I didn't unlock my bootloader), as I can't even mount r/w using root explorer or any other app that can mount r/w on /system.

You also need to instal Supersu, which is an interface for granting root. Then you will be able to delete system apps.

I am using Kingo SuperUser to grant the apps root permission. Had some trouble replacing Kingo SuperUser with Chainfire SuperUser but I figured Kingo should've done the trick as well. When I mount Kingo did prompt me for permission and I allowed it, somehow I think the root is incomplete ?

Does your device have recovery installed? You can delete system apps through it: mount /system through XZ Dual Recovery's TWRP and delete the folder with the app's apk inside. You could also try flashing a SuperSU zip this way to fix root, but make sure you don't use the systemless version.
I suggest you next time don't use kingroot or any one-click root: though uncomplicated, they're notorious for being untrustful, leaking private IMEI information to unknown servers, and unreliable. Read THIS thread thoroughly, re-root using the method in the 2nd post, and upgrade to 5.1.1, or get a pre-rooted FTF through XperiFirm.

No I haven't installed any custom recovery.
Cause I am already using 5.1.1 so I figured Kingo Root is the easiest way to go, didn't know it will cause so much trouble. So basically I need to unroot then root again using the "proper" method? I am already on 5.1.1 btw.

The fact that you can't install Supersu and get root indicates that your phone is not fully rooted. I bet you wouldn't be able to install recovery either for the same reason...
Do the classic rooting, install TWRP and then flash any pre-rooted stock rom you want...

I suspect I am not fully rooted as well. Can you point me a direction towards "classic" rooting my my Z1 5.1.1 ? Almost every post I went points me back to one-click-root solution.

I have the same problem, it's because we can't remount /system to rw ("operation not permitted"), so the update to SU isn't working as well, tried several different methods with terminal emulator but without any luck. Neither will total commander help in this situation. I'm begining to lose hope

Exploit maybe works with 5.1.1, but if not, downgrade your firmware to 5.0.2, use Easyroot to exploit, then upgrade back.
The "classic" root I was referring to requires downgrading from Sony's Lollipop/Kitkat FW to Jellybean due to Sony patching the exploits in the newer FW used for rooting. The steps are outdated now and is replaced by Easyroot. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2688933

[SNAPDRAGON][EXYNOS] ViPER4Android [ZIP][FLASHABLE]

Disclaimer: I will take no responsibility if flashing this zip somehow causes you to go deaf, scares your cat, receiving of noise complaints from your neighbors, development of anti-social behavior, getting hit by a bus, a twerking grandmother, broken windows and/or any other imaginable royally screwed possibility.
Q: Will this work on other Samsung devices?
A: Maybe, I see no reason for it not to work on the S8 or S8+. Feel free to test it out and report back.
Credits: @zhuhang for ViPER4Android FX & XHiFI.
@partcyborg, @me2151, and @elliwigy for hooking us up with root.
Features: Systemwide ViPER4Android FX 2.3.4.0 (higher audio processing than newer versions) and ViPER4Android XHiFi.
Installation steps (make sure to read these before downloading the ZIP):
1) Make sure you're rooted.
2) Download either FlashFire (Snapdragon - thank you, @Chainfire) or install TWRP (Exynos).
3) Install BusyBox, to /system/xbin (otherwise, XHiFi will not work, only FX will).
4) Get Titanium Backup, ROM Toolbox PRO, or any similar application.
6) Freeze "Adapt Sound" and "SoundAlive".
5) Flash the attached zip.
6) Grant root permissions to both FX and XHiFi (you might have to uninstall the FX driver within the in-app settings to trigger this, if so, simply reflash the ZIP after having done so and reboot).
7) Reread step six.
8) Profit & enjoy.

Won't installing busybox to system/xbin trip up safety net flagging your device as tampered/rooted? Also, if you have magisk, can't you just install the v4a module right from within magisk? I don't see the point in going through all these extra steps and flagging your device in safety net when you can just install the v4a magisk module. Not trying to be a ****, asking honest questions.

Works perfectly on my T-Mobile N950U! Thanks!

If you have a Snapdragon device, SafetyNet is already tripped due to the nature of the rooting process.
But if you have an Exynos device, by all means, use the Magisk module. This ZIP was intended for the Snapdragon variant (since that's what I have), but works on Exynos variants as well.

Yeah, I used the old busybody version. I just went back to stock after a few hours of messing around with no results. My main reason for root and accepting the 80% battery limit is viper but since I can't get it working I went back to stock for now. Will try again once there is more development. Let me know if you do get it working.

When you guys flashed it with Flashfire, which options did you enable/disable? Mind taking a screenshot of the preflash stage for me? Do you see the Flashfire installation screen? You should be able to see the ZIP flash progress script.
As for those having problems with installing BusyBox, if you're using Stericson's, you have to manually grant the storage permission.

I personally used BusyBox Pro by Stericson (he's an amazing developer), but I did have to manually grant the storage permission first by going to: App info > Permissions > Storage (toggle it on).
If this doesn't work, use BusyBox Installer (warning: it's riddled with ads).
As for Flashfire, try enabling the "mount system read/write" option.

Does anyone on Snapdragon have this and FM Radio working together? Unfortunately, I'm finding I can't run both. I don't know if it's my Viper settings or what. Any input would be appreciated as I don't want to have to choose between the two features if I don't have to

For those who had trouble on snapdragon try using latest Sam fail v2 if possible it works perfect on here if you follow directions. Few key things, disable emulate framebuffer in flashfire and when flashing enable mount read and write system, also make sure you install drivers in both v4a apps to enable root as root access is need for v4a to work properly after unistalling drivers and granting root reflash zip in flashfire to restore drivers and profit

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.

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.
