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,

CM-su still being detected by Magisk, Magisk Hide not working

Hi,
I'm currently so confused as to why my Magisk isn't working. I'm currently running the last CM 13 snapshot for the Galaxy S5 (G900F, klte), and root and Xposed work fine via Magisk.
However, what isn't working is Magisk Hide, and I'm not sure why. However, I'm noticing that even though I fully unrooted cm-su (using SuperSU, in a way that means the only root I can select in Dev Options is ADB only), I'm still getting cm-su detected by Magisk.
I'm confused -- is there anyway I can remove it? I've tried looking through TWRP file manager, but whenever I do so, I can't even see /system/ files, and mounting only mounts to USB, but that's unrelated.
Thanks for any help!

I don't think SuperSU removes the in-built CM superuser. Use the UNSU zip by osmosis instead. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239421
Also magisk hide will NOT hide Xposed. Yes not even systemless 87.1 Xposed.

SuperSU removed its own root only, CM root is unaffected.
Also, Magisk hide only works with Magisk's own phh root.
And, as far as I know, it can't successfully hide Xposed either. Doesn't matter if it is systemless or not.

Cheers for the replies.
I wasn't aware that Magisk Hide didn't hide Xposed, that's my bad.
As for the presence of CM-SU, SuperSU did do something, as the Developer Options root option is now ADB only while previously it offered the option to Apps too. I'll try unsu.
Here's what I'm meaning btw: imgur.com /a /yTOTw (sorry for the link bypass, there's no other way for me to simply demonstrate the issue) (as you can see in the first screenshot, Magisk detects "cm-su" along with phh. When phh was disabled before I removed cm-su, it only detected cm-su, hence leading me to believe cm-su remains).
e: tried unsu, still cm-su remains. At this point, I'll leave it -- I presume that it's permanently ingrained into the ROM. I've gotten around the restriction I was facing anyway, and I'll adjust. Thanks anyway!

If there are SU files in /system/bin and /system/xbin, then CM root was not removed. Not completely.
To actually remove it you have to delete those files.

@intcompetent Osmosis's unsu zip removes those files. If those files are still there after flashing the unsu zip, I'd ask in his thread.

Or just remove them manually, jeez. It's just two files.
I've been doing it manually for months and everything works as intended.

As an a closer, there's nothing there. I presume that Magisk is picking up something freaky from somewhere, or something's up, but I'm good guys. I won't need anymore help.
Cheers!

I found this zip around somewhere. I believe it works to remove all root (systemless as well) and I've always flashed it before rooting normally. It should also remove CM root afaik.
As a test, after flashing, check and see if you pass safetynet before installing magisk

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.

i flashed it n nuthin,i cant even find the in-app u wrote about

Was anyone able to install busybox and viper4android after getting rooted? I tried flashing the viper4android zip using flashfire but it doesn't seem to do anything and busybox installer will not install to any system location. Thanks in advance. Also, I have the snapdragon version and rooted using samfail.

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.

Just select the zip and start the flashing process. It went black then the flashfire process starts then phone reboots but no sign of the viper app anywhere. How do I manually grant permission? What is the best way to install busybox?

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.

That is the strangest thing, I can't imagine why the ViPER apps wouldn't show up. The only thing that comes to mind is... If you ran the fsck script after rooting, did you?

I had the same issue, but then in FlashFire, under settings I disabled Emulate framebuffer.. Now Viper4android is installed and working.

Does anyone who has this installed get freezes after reboots from time to time?

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

Magisk Manager with built-in su

Hi all!
I might be asking a stupid question, so forgive me if I do.
The situation is the following... I have a TVBOX Q96 HOME 4K (cheap Chinese one based on RK3229) that is pre-rooted. All applications using root work fine. However, there is no "superuser" manager installed on it in order to disallow certain apps to gain root access. In the past I already had a similar situation with some other box and when I installed SuperSU apk the device hasn't boot anymore. I that case I got a stock firmware and could unbrick it, but now I can't find any ROM for this device in order to play with it.
So, the question is... is it possible to install Magisk Manager in order to manage access to the built-in su? Older version I tried correctly identify the device as rooted (with SuperSU 2.76), but do not offer me a Superuser menu where I could manage access to the su of the apps. Neither I get a prompt when an app is requesting access to su.
Any solution to my problem?

No, you will not be able to use the Magisk Manager to manage superuser access for SuperSU.

Any idea what might cause the device to not boot anymore after installing SuperSU.apk?
I compared the installed su binary with the one from chainfire's UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip (arm7), and they are identical. What does installing an apk alone to the system beside managing the access for the apps?
I have to admit I don't know exactly what happens "behind the scene".

I have absolutely no idea why installing the SuperSU apk would cause your device not to boot... Sorry.
Edit: Wait... You write "installing an apk alone to the system". You're not installing it as a regular app, but to the /system partition? If so, that's what might be causing issues.

Sorry to mislead you... I wrongly expressed myself.
I'm not installing it as a system app - I have installed it (on previous box) as an ordinary user app and as I said the system couldn't boot anymore afterwards (I had to reflash the ROM to unbrick it).
BTW... this is a known issue with these Chinese TVBOXes. There are couple of posts also here in XDA about it and nobody knows AFAIK what is the root cause.

Magisk appears to be installed but no root

Hi
I have magisk installed but my phone is reporting not rooted.
My setup:
Xiaomi Redmi Note 7
Ressurection remix
Magisk 23.0
Things I've tried:
Disabled battery optimisation for magisk app
Reinstalled magisk a couple of times from twrp
Other root requiring apps (no change)
I've attached the logs from Root Checker, magisk and snip of my magisk. Please let me know if there is more info I can provide.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

1 - Don't use that website. The only place for verified and safe Magisk downloads is on John's Github:
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk
2 - Exactly what is it that's reporting that your device isn't rooted? Because Magisk quite clearly says it is, according to your screenshot...

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
Okay so I went to Git and downloaded this file https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v23.0/Magisk-v23.0.apk I then renamed it to .zip and flashed it via TWRP. Is this correct?
When I reboot I find the same situation. Magisk appears installed correctly however no app can access root. No popup appears to accept/reject the su request and apps behave as if no root access. I've tried Root Checker, Titanium Backup and am happy to try any others.
Do you have any suggestions please on what else I can try?
Cheers

Ah... So the problem is not that you do not have root access The problem is that there's no superuser prompt when an app requests root.
IIRC there's a Xiaomi settings to allow apps to display popup messages (should be under app permissions). The Magisk app also need to be allowed to auto start. Of course, this is for MIUI and you're using RR so I have no idea if there is such a setting on your device currently...
Could of course be something completely different though.

Yes I suspect this is the issue - the notification is being blocked somehow.
Under app settings -> Magisk, I believe the settings are right:
Battery optimisation = off
Notifications = all allowed
There are plenty of guides out there of using RR with Magisk and no mention of any special settings to make it work.
I am also using nova launcher, I wonder if this could affect the notification somehow?
All suggestions welcome!
Cheers

I noticed in Magisk under the Superuser tab, it just says "no app has asked for superuser permission yet." So perhaps not a notification issue after all?
I downloaded another app, "root checker basic". It also generated no popup, said I do not have root, and nothing appeared in the Magisk logs.
I feel like I am doing something wrong here but missing what it is.

One thought: make sure that nothing is restricting the Magisk app from autostarting and running in the background.
Also, have you checked with other users of your ROM? Might be a good place to get help for stuff like this...

This happened to me before. I had to rename the same zip to "uninstall.zip" and flash it, reboot, and then rename the zip to something else like Magisk.zip and flash again.

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried this but no change afterwards unfortunately.
Also good idea @Didgeridoohan, I will cross post this on the forum for RR.

extract the boot.img and copy to phone. in Magisk, install and pick boot.img. copy the result file to pc, and flash using fastboot flash boot magi....img
if unlocked bootloader, flash direct and reboot.

Rename the file to uninstall.zip then flash the firmware then flash the magisk it will work for sure i was also facing the same problem
