Any way of hiding root or installing Magisk? - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I'm running the latest version of Evervolv Android Pie and I'm trying to hide root for apps that can detect it. At first I looked into Magisk as that has it built in, but upon reading, as well as trying it myself, it doesn't want to install. Is there a way to install it that I'm not aware of or is it just not possible? I've also looked into suhide, however I cannot get that to work either. Any info and help would be greatly appreciated, and I can provide any info that's needed. Thanks

Magisk does not work on the Hp Touchpad, it needs to modified the RAMDISK to have access to the Kernel and patch it.
This could be better, I do not know if it could be merge into the current Kernel.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/root-backdoor-android-kernel-development-t3870559

Thanks for the reply, and appreciate the help. How would I go about merging it with the kernel? I know you said you didn't know if it could, but I'd want to try to see? Also, is there anyway of installing SuperSU in systemless mode so su-hide would work?

You are welcome,
The developers will have to merge the kernel Assisted SuperUSer ( kernelSU ) into the kernel branch of the Android ROM. Then it will need to be recompile, I provided a guide on how to recompile the HP Touchpad kernel:
Click HERE for the Guide
About Systemless: The boot image ( Ramdisk and Kernel ) is read only and it gets loaded into memory each time. There is no program that will be able to modified the boot image for the HP Touchpad, but the RAMDISK can be modified manually, here is a guide on how to do it:
Click HERE for the Guide to unpack and repack the Ramdisk
The Ramdisk modification only allows /system to have read and write access for SuperSU to work, it does not modified the kernel.
To modified the Kernel for systemless this is what is required and then recompile the kernel.
Click HERE to compile the kernel with root permission.
I have not look into this on the HP touchpad Kernel and I know that all I have posted on here is a lot to do, but if you want, let me know the version of Android you want to have the kernel with root access and the CPU speed and I could try to compile that and then you test it.

[MOD] eRecovery for CM7/stock ...

Hi all!
Surfing a bit into XDA, I've created this mod in order to add to Froyo/GB/CM7 the way to access CWM on boot pressing any hardware keys.
Once installed, to access recovery you only have to repeatedly press any hard key; it works like eRecovery in Nova ROM.
In order to install/remove it, you only have to flash it via CWM, so you need CWM recovery installed at your OB.

PD: This stuff will probably work flawlessly in other stock rom versions, but to ensure that it will work, send me your /system/bin/pvrsrvinit file indicating your ROM version and I will create a specific .zip for this version. Thanks pbog1 for the file.
Credits go to knzo and D4rKn3sSyS.
If you find this useful, please thank it!
Regards.
No need to nandroid before install it... is fully probed.
Regards!
Suggestion: Information about CWM version?
It only changes one file at /system/bin, then I would suggest to use the latest CWM.
Regards.
It's a bit late on the boot, inject a sooner service.
Yeah, it's still at beta stage.
I though it would be a good point because is just before init.d starts.
I will find the first service and hijack it, but at least this mod can handle framework's loopboots.
Regards!
i'm doing the same thing for 2.3.4
but i was failed.
i hijacked lgdrmserver,no response
can you help me?
Try with another service... I can't say more ATM...
Send me the init.rc
This is great news!! AAMOF, the no-hard-reboot is one of the things that prevents me from flashing these days. Last time I bicked the phone I lost one full day.
I'll install this as soon as it's improved.
Thank you Huexx!

Try to inject: /system/bin/pvrsrvinit.
It's the PowerVR SGX 540 driver and it's earlier in the boot.
Rename it to /system/bin/pvrsrvinit2, then create an empty bash file with that name and inject the command I used on my eRecovery and in the last line (after the keypress check) run /system/bin/pvrsrvinit2 or it won't boot.
got it,try it now thx
Hi all.
Looking at init.rc and according with the suggested service by knzo, why you say that my inject point would be sooner?
sysinit is executed before ueventd, console, adbd, pvrsrvinit, etc... it's before ALL the services, and I haven't to modify it because it's a script by itself.
Regards.

That doesn't even make sense.
You want to execute a sh without console running?
Or why can you see the first init.d in the adb logcat then?
Just because it comes in a previous line doesn't make it start sooner.
Well, if I've understood, the place at init.rc doesn't determines the run order, doesn't it?
Then how can you know which service will be launched the first?
If I hack pvrsrvinit, would it check for keystroke sooner?
Regards.
Depends on the trigger/call.
Pvrsrvinit ought to be sooner indeed.
Ok, let's try it then!
Regards.
it make nosense at all.
i don't know where i did wrong.
hijack pvrsrvinit,and create init.d folder ,write script to make original pvrsrvinit run...
My version doesn't work...
It's strange... later but It sholud run.

[AOSP] sepolicy patch for Marshmallow ROMs

After a bit of tinkering and some insight from Chainfire and imoseyon i was finally able to get SuperSU working on AOSP roms without being permissive or having to use Chainfire's prebuilt sepolicy
sepolicy patch is here: https://github.com/PureNexusProject...mmit/0f5072de4580a5db7348917e77e4c1c35d3e3c1a
Stickied.
sorry to be that guy, but how does this affect the average joe?
does it mean theres going to be a new version of supersu with this or does this mean that custom rom makers can use this patch to make there roms not need the the custom boot.img?

Thanks after including this in my AOSP builds i have noticed a few things, certain "root" app still dont function and get selinux denials. i originally had noticed this with logcat extreme. i was getting read and write denials on logd so i did an audit2allow on my sepolicy and came up with the following allow
Code:
#============= logd ==============
allow logd init:fifo_file { read write };
i did a quick google search on this and came up with https://gist.github.com/poliva/fc5b7402bde74be27518 which is apparently an sediff of your sepolicy, which is heavily modified beyond just what i had for supersu to work in enforcing for aosp roms. so i guess my real question is do us "AOSP" devs have to update our sepolicys with these 300+ additions to get all current root apps working or is this something that you can overcome in an update to SuperSU.
thanks in advance :good:

There is no such thing now as "all current root apps working".
If SuperSU's deamon can be launched, and it can in turn launch the supolicy tool, most of the rules from the diff will be modified by SuperSU as needed.
What your patch needs to do (and you have already done) is make sure SuperSU can be launched in the right context, and can modify the sepolicy. You do not need to implement those 300+ additions - it will be done at boot automagically.
As for those additions themselves, they are primarily needed to:
- make sure SuperSU can work, internal communications between the different processes and such
- make processes running as the "init" context (where root apps run by default) as powerful as possible
- specifically "allow" a number of things that would otherwise still work, but would be logged (everything that starts with "allow init" or "allow recovery")
Now, even with the above, still not everything works out of the box. Everything that goes from "init" to "non-init" context should already work, but going from "non-init" context to "init" may not. In your example case, we go from "logd" to "init", which isn't specifically allowed. Often apps can be fixed to work around an issue such as this.
Generally speaking, the solution is not to fix the source sepolicy or the supolicy tool, the solution is for the "logcat extreme" app to run the following at launch (as documented in How-To SU):
Code:
supolicy --live "allow logd init fifo_file { read write }"
In this specific case, maybe it could be added to supolicy, it depends on what exactly generates the audit. If it's a simple logcat command, it's a candidate for inclusion. The problem might even be solved by switching contexts rather than modifying any SELinux policies. But that is something for the app developer to figure out.
In either case, it is not something you need to fix in the AOSP patches. Those already do what they need to do.
Since they started doing SELinux Enforcing though, the policies in AOSP have generally been a tad stricter than on retail devices (this was specifically the case during 4.4 days). This may lead to you sometimes having to add/remove a rule manually somewhere that was not added to SuperSU yet. It could happen, but it's unlikely, probably temporary, and it probably should not go into this AOSP patch.
A note on pof's sediff, I'm not sure it was done cleanly, as I see some modifications in there that are not done by supolicy. Either way, such a post is informative, not leading, as supolicy may do more or less modifications depending on various runtime variables (such as Android version). Additionally, due to context names and availabilities changing between Android versions, any rule modification referencing a context not available in the to-be-patched sepolicy will not be applied, and thus will not show up in an sediff.

Have you checked by any chance if this patch is enough to allow 2.61 (systemless) to work still ?

thanks for the description above now i understand. have never developed a root app so i had not read that part of how to su, but it makes perfect sense that the root apps would handle the denials live via your supolicy
as for system less root i have not tried that yet but i will give it a shot tonight, and report back, i know some people in my ROM thread have used system less root. but i am not sure if you had packaged your sepolicy in the install script for 2.61+ and if it is overwriting mine in the kernel, if that is the case i will modify the installation to not patch the sepolicy and see if it works with my pre compiled one based on the source above
Starting 2.64, I think this addition to init.te is all that is needed:
Code:
allow init kernel:security load_policy;
Confirmation needed though. The original patch will also work with 2.64, and the ZIP installer should default to /system installation mode.
Of course, this also requires that /system isn't verified by dm-verity, and init reloads sepolicy from the standard /data/security/current location.
the link in OP its no longer working...
Also in CM13 tree we have:
Code:
# Reload policy upon setprop selinux.reload_policy 1.
# Note: this requires the following allow rule
# allow init kernel:security load_policy;
and over my builds have no problem with SuperSU system less...

Is there any actual guide how to add SU directly to AOSP build. I have found bits and pieces but those are mainly 4.x releases.
I'm using Android M release and quite much struggling to get it working.
I have tried to make SU default on AOSP 6.0 by using this guide.
http://forum.khadas.com/t/gapps-and-su-on-soc/118/3
I'm using user build and enabled selinux permissive on that.
i have made also ro.secure=0 ro.debuggable=1 and security.perf_harden=0 (Not sure if needed)
I have also modified to change the su permissions in fs_config.c
I managed to get this work so that when flashing rom SuperSu ask for updating su binary and after that su works.
but i then cleaned work area to verify build by deleting out dir and recompiled. No go anymore.
Why it's so hard to add su by default on AOSP rom. I woud like to have it by default so i would not need to do any tricks everytime i flash new rom.
It reminds me of Korean dramas ,

ViPER4Android 2.5.0.5

Please note, this requires SELinux Permissive (included init.d script/instructions for PHH). It will not work on Enforcing, even with supolicy (I've tried. If anyone has an idea how to get it working with "soundserver" and setting supolicy "read write execute", please let me know)
Setting SELinux to Permissive is a security risk.
ViPER4Android for Mate 9
Slightly modified guitardedhero script.
Contains "Kernel" and "Profile" for V4A from auras76 kang rom
Note:
The following files are backed up automatically so you can easily revert with the removal script:
/system/lib/soundfx/libeffectproxy.so -> /system/lib/soundfx/libeffectproxy.so.bak
/system/etc/audio_effects.conf -> /system/etc/audio_effects.conf.bak
/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf -> /vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf.bak
If those .bak files are not found the removal script won't run (to prevent running it without V4A installed, it would simply just remove the files leaving you with no files at all.)
It does not edit audio_policy.conf as it doesn't have the deep_buffer section in it, so no point in having it edited.
Requirements:
SuperRoot/SuperSU (No verity is probably needed as we're modifying both /system and /vendor)
A way to set SELinux to Permissive (SuperSU init.d/phh 'su --init' or SELinuxToggler, see 'Alternative'.)
If you're on Magisk use the V4A module instead
For SuperSU
If you use the one posted above
Simply flash the zip in TWRP and you should be good to go. It copies the 00selinux script directly to /system/etc/init.d/ and runs at boot so you'll have SELinux set to Permissive after flashing.
For PHH su
Flash the zip in TWRP, boot up fully.
Now open a terminal and issue the command
Code:
su --init /system/etc/init.d/00selinux
Then reboot.
To remove the phh init use 'su --init !/system/etc/init.d/00selinux'.
For Magisk
Search for Viper4Android in the Downloads section in Magisk Manager, it's a module so no need to download anything in this thread
Alternative:
(You still need root for this but no init script.)

Yes, if you use supersu, make a script in /system/etc/init.d/
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o rw,remount /system
Make sure it runs after any other scripts if they remount system to read only. Scripts are loaded in order, so name it accordingly.
If you use phh, place script where you want and from a terminal
Code:
su --init /path/to/script
I wanna put all this in my Kernel... Or boot.img...
I have root in my kernel using phh superuser... I dont want to add anything in system by myself, i want that a zip should do it... Will be best if kernel did all this... In MM, we dont need to do rw ourself, in N we needed...

I don't know. But I don't see why it wouldn't.
Backup system and try.
You'll have to use the phh init script though as I don't think supersu works with P9 on emui5?
Edit: actually, if your audio_effects.conf file is not in /system/etc/ or /vendor/etc/ the script needs to be modified. And if your audio_policy.conf contains the deep_buffer section.

assuming everything else but the driver is installed,
simply download Viper4android_2.5.0.5_mate9.zip, extract.
go to customize/lib, rename libv4a_fx_jb_NEON.so to libv4a_fx_jb_ics.so
copy it to your phone.
Use a root file manager and copy and paste to /system/lib/soundfx/libv4a_fx_jb_ics.so.
And set permissions of that file to 0644 (RW-R--R--).
Then reboot and open up viper4android again and see if still complains.
If it doesn't, go to "hamburger" menu in V4A and tap on Driver Status, it should say Status: Normal. If it says abnormal something else is wrong.

@ante0, I just wanted to give you a quick heads up...
There's a new app (currently being beta tested) that will supercede/replace The SELinux Toggler....
It's a new app called "The SELinux Switch". Though, it will look like "The SELinux Toggler" but, I had to recreate, pretty much, the whole app.
The reason i had to do this is, primarily, to completely sever it from the older package name (or Installation Directory) that was also being used by the "SELinuxModeChanger" app.
I also had made some minor enhancements and a few compatibility improvements but, there's still some more improvements to be made.
In addition, the app has been passing the beta testing extremely well (thankfully after about 6 +/- months into it) and it should be released soon but, when the app has completed the beta testing and, ready for its debut, it will be released under a whole new thread.
Thank you all for your time, understanding and, especially, your support for my development.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

PLEASE NOTE: I welcome any member to help with further valuable information/clarification for any of my posts.
Has anybody used the ARISE aroma installer (twrp flashable zip)? I've used it on a few other devices, coming to the M9 from a Le Pro 3 and it works nice and easy and patches selinux permanently. It seems the way Huawei does things is much different though, so I'd be suprised if it works as easily as on other phones.
In the end, it's just installing 2.5.0.5 anyway with a few other tweaks and a whole bunch of IRS response profiles. So that part's not very different.
Just a quick heads-up @ante0...

If you already know if you want to apply the libstdc++.so lib workaround, add "lib" or "nlib" to zipname (note that there are some devices that are already known to require it and so they'll apply workaround regardless of choice)
If you already know if your device/rom requires the v4a open/close/fc audioserver workaround, add "ocw" to zipname. Otherwise, add "nocw" to zipname
To skip volkeys (if your device isn't compatible with them), add "novk" to the zipname. Note that if you don't specify the above, defaults will be applied which are: sapp, new
Make sure there are no spaces in the zipname

Hi, tried your two modules you've posted on my Nexus 6P stock ROM. March update. Both causing bootloop and using the uninstaller provided doesn't help. Have to use mount Magisk then go to file explorer in TWRP recovery and delete the modules from Magisk folder.

Hmm. This is probably a kernel or magisk limitation with your rom. Are you running 11.6? Try to run it without the deep_buffer Remover because this is probably what bootloops your phone. It's only necessary when you've NEED it, otherwise it may cause adverse effects. Just install V4A and see if it works.
Currently magisk still has limited boot.img compatibility which causes so.e mods to not work properly or bootloops when it's not the mod itself.

Hi, I'm on 11.6. I've tried both modules on their own and they both have caused boot loops unfortunately.
Thanks anyway..

Magisk limitation. @topjohnwu is always improving magisk. I do recommend may e trying another kernel for your device which may help compatibility.
Gave this module a go, and: it's a no go... Will not boot on my Nexus 6 running Vanilla ROM 7.1.1_r26, Franco Kernel r65 and Magisk v.11.6 - MagiskSU.
After flashing uninstaller the device still doesn't boot. Had to manually remove audmodlib from /magisk in TWRP to make it boot again. And it's in audmodlib the problem is. I did a quick test where I removed audmodlib after installation (kept v4afx in place) and it booted right up (with a non-functioning module, obviously).
Attaching installation and uninstallation recovery logs. Unfortunately I'm not at a computer with ADB, otherwise I would have captured a logcat of boot for you. Maybe later...

The only real thing in audmodlib is could be is service.sh or system.prop otherwise it would be the vendor file, which would mean that for some reason 11.6 is bugged for vendor file mounting. Try installing and remove those ONLY and and see if it fixes it.
If that fixes it then it's one of those two. And if you're cool can you see which one it is exactly.

There has been an issue with vendor mounting in Magisk, but I believe that was for devices with separate vendor partitions (Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X, etc). I haven't seen any commits on GitHub about it though (although I haven't been keeping that close attention), so I don't know if it's been fixed.
I did find the culprit though: it's system.prop. With that file removed from /magisk/audmodlib my device booted up just fine.

You are literally advertising your mods in everyone's threads. Stop this and make your own thread.
This is a magisk forum, not a system mod forum.

I will remove it with next release. Thank you man. This **** only started happening with 11.6. this was the reason Atmos was boot looping as well so I removed system.prop in Atmos.
Can you do me a favor and remove a few lines to see if it's just the specific lines? I think that certain lines don't play nice with your phone.
Remove the first part, low power audio tweaks, reboot and see if it works. If it doesn't then that's the culprit. If not then remove the first two on the other audio tweaks.

Hi there, thanks for the suggestion. I've tried it already and it didn't work. Asked for drivers to be installed when I opened the app after installing the module and restarting the phone.

Magisk for treble

I am using the version of magisk modified by @TeamMex for his Treble based Xperience ROM on Moto Z Play and I can't get magisk hide to work or modules to install. I found a work around for the modules but I really need magisk hide, is there a certain file I can make or copy from another device to force it to work? This is the log if any smart people want to give it a shot.
I'm completely in the dark about Treble, but after looking at your log I'm curious if you have root access at all? MagiskHide is triggering, but there's a whole lot of sqlite3 database issues, which makes me thing you have su problems.
Does that Magisk version happen to have verbose logging enabled so that you have a magisk_debug.log in /data/adb? If so, that log might show more.

in unnoficial treble need to handle other partition name as vendor in this case need to mount oem partition as vendor (if we try to use oficial magisk it make a bootloops)
Su works(you can modify system partition but not vendor trying to modify vendor makes a system freezing) but MagiskHide isn't here
Hi,
Regarding the Magisk for Treble devices, I found sparse and inconsistent info. So, I suggest to write up-to-date info and details.
So, I do this summary:
At time, no official support of Magisk for Treble devices.
Some unofficial ports exists: v16.0 from @pchatzop; v16.3 from @faizauthar12; etc.
I feel that not all treble devices has equal partitions, so the unofficial versions can, or can not, work in all devices.
And this is all the info that I see.
Please, can you help to complete it?
Thank you!

Hey
my custom release is only for "factory" partition
although, we ( z2_plus user ) doesn't need these custom binaries anymore
we're already rename our partition to "vendor"

Thank you!
As soon I'll receive my new Moto G6+, I need to know how to "port" Magisk to this model...
Regarding your mod:
It can work with other devices despite the Z2+?
Why you write in "/system" (updater-script creates "/system/addon.d/")?
Any recomendation for doing the port?
Regards. :highfive:
