How do I enable root in Evervolve 7.1.1? - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just updated my touchpad to latest Evervolv 7.1.1 nightly dated March 31st. However, I could not find the root option. I did some googling, some posts suggested in settings, but I don't see it in mine. Also check Toolbox and developer settings and could not find it.
I even flashed the SuperSU zip in TWrp but it does nothing.

Evervolv is now rootless, meaning you need to flash SuperSU 2.46 (recommended version) after flashing ROM and GAPPS.

The problem:
Help I'm missing SuperSU/Root Access
The solution:
To enable super user Download and flash this SuperSU zip here.
Note: You will need to reflash this zip each time you update your rom.

Thank you both. Was able to flash the root in recovery using the recommended version.

corrupt zip file when trying to install xposed

For some reason my sprint note 4 all of a sudden stopped being able to install xposed framework through twrp. I'm running cm 12.1 rom and using the latest sdk but no matter what i do i still get .zip file is corrupt and twrp instantly reatarts. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Seems to be an issue with the .zip file. Download it again and check whether the problem still persists.
Yea i did. That's why i am a bit confused. I even tried an older version which i have installed countless times before after every nightly update but even that says corrupt zip now.

Did you flash a new nightly built of a custom ROM or a newer version of TWRP, maybe a bootstack? Such kind of things don't occur "all out of sudden".
I had flashed a new build of cm12.1. twrp is the same version. But i don't see what difference that would really make unless all nightlies since sept. 30th stopped support for xposed. Like i said before i had been reinstalling xposed each time i would update cm and never had an issue until recently.
No one has any ideas??
Go read the last few pages of the main thread. On Oct 5 they added a security fix to AOSP that broke xposed compatibility.

A new version of Xposed (v75) is available. Download the correct version for your device and report back.
same issue
hello fellas i had same issue when i tried to install,
corrupt zip file.
i was using twrp 2.8.4
android 5.0.1
with sdk21 arm 32bits v80 (same of my phone)
we have in comom is that our phone carrier is the same, Sprint Glaxy s4 sph720
I also came across the issue with the xposed installer saying it's corrupt. Here is the entire process I went through and got around this:
(Device is LG G3 D855 running CM13)
1) Made certain all previous xposed apps were uninstalled (mostly the installer itself)
2) Also made certain any previous xposed framework was uninstalled
3) Booted back into TWRP and created a new backup (just in case)
4) Installed xposed-v83-sdk23-arm.zip via TWRP (did not reboot in between steps 3 and 4)
5) Rebooted back into system, takes a while since it optimizes all apps
6) Tried to install the XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk and ran into the corruption issue
7) Also tried XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha2.apk to see if it had the same issues (it did)
8) Installed de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v33_36570c.apk just to see if it would run, it did
9) Once de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v33_36570c.apk was installed I reran XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk and it installed successfully
10) Rebooted again
11) I was then able to download and install xposed modules
I went through all of this initially because I wanted the SU (#) indicator to be hidden. I had xposed installed on CM12 and it worked well for me. I have missed a lot of the features available with xposed.
I apologize if I have left out any pertinent info. If anyone needs more info, please reply here and let me know. If I see any questions, I will try to respond.

SuperSU 2.66 beta on Shamu

Please write your experience with SuperSU 2.60 / 2.61 / 2.62-3...2.66 on Shamu.
2.56 didn't work on my unlocked, unencrypted 6.0.0 (MRA58R)
Systemless 2.62-3 with works as a charm with my 6.0.1.
I dirty flashed 6.0.1 system.img and boot.img, then I flashed SuperSU 2.62-3 (in TWRP). I stayed unencrypted.
Xposed, ES File Explorer, Double tap 2 wake, Greenify, BetterBatteryStats ... work perfectly.
Edit:
2.62-3 works for some with 6.0.1. and with Android Pay
2.52 has been working fine for me since mm has been out, running on MRA58R now. Have not tried 2.6 but 2.49 was also working perfectly. If you need android pay to work then 2.6 or there are other options like custom ROMs that have it successfully working
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
Running it here without issue. Also had it running on mra58r.
The only casualty I suppose was/is es file explorer. It could not gain root access for some reason.
I am rooted, unencrypted and have the latest Elite kernel.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
Using 2.6.1 and brand new 6.0.1 fresh install and Android pay is working flawlessly!
Does anybody have a downloadlink for 2.61, can`t find it anywhere

Root Checker Pro, BusyBox Pro said i was rooted and the Franco FKU app has root too. Maybe its a problem with apps not adapted/compatible with systemless root (2.61) yet.

Did a full wipe and flashed again the lite Rom 6.0.1 of Danvdh. This rom is stock based.
After reboot I restored the 6.0-data from a nandroid backup with TWRP. Root checker says 'no root'.
Now last try with full wipe and restore from Google.
At this moment my N6 is restoring the apps from Google take a long time, but root checker says there is root access.
So this update needs a complete wipe and factory reset.

I did some reading and trial with the lite rom of Danvdh. What seems important is that SuperSU 2.6x is flashed as the last file after flashing system stuff, like mods, kernel.

I managed to update from M6.0 to M6.0.1 with data kept.
Important is that the system partition does not contain su-stuff of previous versions.
In TWRP I wiped the M 6.0 system and caches, but not the data.
Flashed the lite 6.0.1 rom of Danvdh;
Flashed Franco's kernel r35;
Flashed SuperSU 2.61;
Reboot - TWRP button 'do not install SU'.
Needed to restore settings (dpi), layers and the black themed apps of the TBO team.
I dirty flashed from stock rooted 6.0.0 to 6.0.1 today and rooted using Systemless 2.62-3. Everything is working great so far.

Oxygen OS 3.2.1 Released

Source: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...s-starting-on-oneplus-3.454469/#post-15056543
Usual 48h to hit devices thing is probably in effect here swell but i'm sure the VPN trick will work for most if you're impatient or waiting for this fix for your SIM issue.
The changelog seems to have added just the SIM fix but for some reason the changelog on the phone says there's more Notification fixes but have to wait and see on that
Here are some of the highlights:
Fixed some notification issues
Addressed SIM recognition issue
Enabled sRGB mode in developer options
Improved RAM management
Improved GPS performance
Enhanced audio playback quality
Updated custom icon packs
Improved camera quality/functionality
Fixed some issues in Gallery
Implemented latest Google security patches
Fixed bugs in Clock/Music apps

Are you using the System Update option on the phone to install or the Zip file? either way normally any changes to the system will make OTA fail (like root and xposed)

Actually no. You don't have to unroot but you need to flash stock boot.img . Better option always is to flash Full 3.2.0 ROM twice (sometimes first flash doesn't succeed) and then 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1 OTA immediately and then SuperSU and Xposed. Or wait for Full ROM mirror. Will take me some 20 minutes more. I am downloading it at the moment.
Yes, I tried to install the downloaded ota file via TWRP. Guess I have to download the whole 1.2 GB to get the 15MB update.

After that I reboot and all the apps are still there?

If you install the full 3.2.1 rom just install it once, then supersu and THEN wipe cache/dalvik. Your apps will be still there he just needs to optimize them at the start(might take 10 minutes).
If you want to use this "trick" to install 3.2.1 OTA over a 3.2.0 full rom, i have no clue. But i would rather install the full rom. I tried it with the OTA last time and it didn't worked.

Supersu can't install onCM15 Nook HD, can't be root

Hi,
I flashed the CM15 for Nook HD, Image name: cm_hummingbird-ota-NMF26Q.161222 and open Gapps(
open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170329). But I can't install SuperSU on this version Android 7.1.1, either from Android or TWRP. Please help me out. Thanks.
The rom should already be rooted.
That's what I thought. But I can't use lucky patcher on this ROM. Lucky patcher asks for root privilege. That is the reason I tried to install SuperSU.

Amazon Fire 7 (CM 12.1-20160710-UNOFFICIAL-ford) -- Lost Root and SuperSU Binary Busy

Today I was having Chromecast issues with Netflix, so I factory reset my Chromecast and then had some issues getting it set back up. I had to point the Fire 7's WIFI towards the Chromecast because it couldn't find it otherwise.
After this strange series of events, I rebooted and decided maybe I would remove Netflix and install the last good version I used. I opened Titanium Backup and was told that it could not acquire root. Then a notification for SuperSU popped-up saying "The SU binary needs to be updated!". When I click on it, SuperSU opens and says "SU Binary occupied". When I click "how to solve", I'm taken to a blank WIKI page.
I rebooted. Turned on "Root access" (for apps) in "Developer options". I then rebooted again. I am still unable to achieve Root access!
My tablet was originally running Fire OS v5.1.3 and I downgraded it to v5.1.2. I Rooted v5.1.2 using Root Junkie's tools and then installed CM 12.1 using the guide from the developer's thread.
Firstly, why did this happen or how did this happen?
Secondly, what can I do to gain Root again?

Lol. Unlock bootloader and flash latest lineage:
UNLOCK: https://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/development/unlock-fire-t3899860
LINEAGE: https://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/orig-development/rom-lineage-12-1-t3639447
Hello. Thank you for that reply. Both threads were very interesting! I would like Lineage on here... Unfortunately, I do not have access to Linux and fear that a lot of those steps to unlock the bootloader are beyond my current understanding.
I'll have to keep reading.
Beyond this.... is my only alternative to flash back the stock ROM, downgrade again, root, and install CM 12.1?
From the error message I am guessing that you are on SuperSU 2.82. I would try uninstalling the SuperSU apk (just the apk, don't unroot) and install version 2.79 of the apk. Sometimes I have seen that error message (on 2.82) when the su binary has somehow been deleted. It tries to replace the binary but fails. If 'daemonsu' is still present in xbin it may be possible for SuperSU to fix the installation but this works better on 2.79 than it does on 2.82.

If you have lost root your only practical options are: 1) restore FireOS and start from scratch; or 2) follow the links suggested by @Rortiz2 (here).

The best place is Chainfire's blog. A link to the page with 2.79 SR3 (bug fix update) is here: https://chainfire.eu/articles/970/SuperSU_v2.79_SR3
Download the zip file: the superuser apk is in the 'common' folder. Click on the apk file from a file browser to install. You will have to enable the option to 'install apps from unknown sources' but you will be prompted to do this if you have not already done so.

Hi. Thank you for those suggestions. I Googled quickly but am still afraid using both options is not something I'll be able to dive right into. I'm also a little confused that the guide for unlocking the bootloader mentions "Install python3, PySerial, adb and fastboot." I'm unsure how to do this for a virtual install or a bootable USB. My Linux usage dates back to a 1 month course in the mid 2000's. =P
Am I making this out to be more difficult than it actually will be?

I'm also a little confused that the guide for unlocking the bootloader mentions "Install python3, PySerial, adb and fastboot." I'm unsure how to do this for a virtual install or a bootable USB. My Linux usage dates back to a 1 month course in the mid 2000's. =P
Am I making this out to be more difficult than it actually will be?

Yes. It's very easy. The difficult part is short the pins but since you have 5th gen you don't need to do that.

That said, you have to decide if the benefit is worth the effort/hassle. In the US $64 scores a very serviceable 8" tablet at Walmart running the latest version of Android that runs circles around all Amazon offerings except the HD10.
