Hello all,
A friend gave me his Droid 3 which was successfully rooted (Superuser version 3.13 is installed). When I look at the log I can see many past "Allowed" entries. However, I attempted to install Safestrap (version 3.05), and it was denied Superuser access (can see the denial in the log). I then attempted to grant other apps Superuser permissions and I get a "[App Name] has been denied Superuser permissions" message (and it shows "Denied" in the Superuser Log).
The really odd things are that (1) it doesn't prompt to allow or deny (despite the setting saying to prompt), and (2) if I select Superuser funcitons within the Superuser App, it will allow them. For example, if I select "temp unroot", it says "Superuser has been granted Superuser permissions".
I know I can SBF the phone and start over, but there are lots of paid Apps on the phone and I just assume try to work on getting Superuser working again if it's possible.
Please help!
Try setting to always allow
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA Free mobile app
Solved! Ok, with the device connected to my computer and playing around in adb, I noticed that the permissions for the SU binary were all goofed up. So I issued the command: adb shell "chmod 6755 /system/bin/su" and that solved the problem. Hope this helps someone else.
Shadow: Thank you sir for your reply. I should have mentioned in my original that I did try "always allow" in addition to prompting and it didn't make a difference. However, I solved it by changing the su binary's permissions (see above). Thanks again for takinig the time to reply.
I recently had a problem (see here) with SuperSU, so I decided to give MagiskSU a try. As it turns out, it seems to have the same issue. When I run a process that requires su, it stalls for a while. In the case of MagiskSU, I then get "Permission denied" after about 20 seconds.
Here's what I get with a few basic commands:
Code:
[email protected]:/ $ su
Permission denied
Code:
[email protected]:/ $ su -v
8:MAGISKSU (topjohnwu)
Code:
[email protected]:/ $ su -V
8
Additionally, when I view the log with adb logcat, I see the following message attributed to su:
Code:
exec am failed with 2: No such file or directory
It looks like this is a message produced here, related to loading am.jar. Unlike in my SuperSU situation, this error happens regardless of whether Magisk is set to "prompt" or "grant".
Any idea how I can debug this? Thanks in advance.
Just to make sure: Have you updated the Magisk Manager so that it's just not the stub installed by the Magisk zip?
And if so, does the Manager report you're properly rooted?
I figured it out. In a previous cleanup attempt, I failed to restore the link named /system/bin/app_process that points to /system/bin/app_process64. This fixed it:
From the TWRP terminal:
Code:
mount /system
cd /system/bin
ln -s app_process64 app_process
Frankly I'm surprised this didn't render my phone unbootable! Nothing else was noticeably affected.
I have the same problem, just logcat says:
W/Magisk: su: request rejected (2000->0)
I found a solution that worked for me, go to Magisk Manager and install "ADB & Fastboot for Android NDK" module, then reboot.
I found in the Magisk app under Superuser that "shell" had the toggle turned off. Once I turned it on, su worked in ADB.

Hi all,
I have Magisk v18.1 and I'm also trying to get root access from shell. When I run 'su' in a terminal emulator, I get the message 'Permission denied'.
I did install "ADB & Fastboot for Android NDK" as suggested above. I also checked the root options in the magisk app (v7.0.0) and they are all the default, nothing unusual there.
Could you kindly advice if there is anything I can do in order to get root access from the shell with Magisk?
Thanks a lot in advance
I have a same issue on kitkat
Oh boy, I have *absolutely no idea* what I did but it works now. Well, what I did was that I removed the adb & fastboot module and rebooted. When I ran 'su' again in the terminal, I got a request from magisksu to grant authorization. Not sure what's going on, but it works!

Why did you install the ADB and fastboot module? That's for using that device to control ADB and fastboot of another device as if the device with the module were a computer.

Honestly, that was a classic case of not knowing what I'm doing and just blindly following what other people tried. But good to know what the purpose of that module was, I was wondering!
Hint: Perfdump is the adb shell program, do not disable SU for it
I add my hint: after getting this error message, I checkd the list of apps in Magisk SU: it turned out that I had disabled the "Perfdump" app, because I did not know what it was. It is the adb shell indeed!
I had exactly the same problem on my Android 6.0 with Magisk v19.3 + Magisk Manager v7.3.1. I tried everything, what you wrote (enabled, disabled the "ADB and fastboot" stuff, checked the symlink, ...), but nothing helped me. FYI: previously, I used LineageOS 16 (Android 9.0) on the same phone with this latest Magisk without any problem (but I decided to turn back to the original OS version to avoid instabilities). But now I'm fighting with this dragon.
My wife has Android 6.0 also w/ Magisk, but she got Magisk v18.0 and this works well now... I tried this at me, and surprisingly, that was worked well. Now, I decided to find out, which is the last working version, where is the bug.
The results:
* the Magisk v18.0 with the bundled Magisk Manager - GOOD
* the Magisk v18.0 with the latest Magisk Manager v7.3.2 - GOOD
* the Magisk v18.1 with the latest Magisk Manager v7.3.2 - GOOD
* the Magisk v19.0 with the latest Magisk Manager v7.3.2 - BAD
* the Magisk v19.1 with the latest Magisk Manager v7.3.2 - BAD
* the Magisk v19.2 with the latest Magisk Manager v7.3.2 - BAD
* the Magisk v19.3 with the latest Magisk Manager v7.3.2 - BAD
I don't know, the freshest working Magisk v18.1 + Magisk Manager v7.3.2 is a good combination for all cases, but looks working.

Yup thanks it still works up to date
Solved
i had the same problem on my redmi note 7 and the most easiest way is unistall your magisk 20.xxx and install a older one 19.xxx and that should do it but remember bouth zip file (flashibile zip) and magisk apk has yo be older than 20.xxx becouse the devs has made a mistake in the coding( or at leat this is what i think hope im wrong)
just update the magisk manager and install automatically the boot and reboot the phone it will be okay
Solution that works for me GalaxyS9 (starlte)
### restart adbd as root
adb root
### then
adb shell
### WORKS.
### I see '#' in prompt, `whoami` responses: 'root'
### My Magisk version. Reported by `su -v`

Hi,
After updating magisk to 17.1, I don't get any SU prompts and even setting the prompt to grant automatically, apps aren't getting SU access. What do I do? It was working fine with v16.

Uninstall Magisk completely and reinstall.

Same here
I found the Terminal emulator app that I want to use to do some ADB for PC commands without needing PC and usb. su gives permission denied. So I decided to use Magisk - just installed the Magisk zip from recovery and the Magisk Manager, both are green light in Magisk menu. Now can it grant SU or do I still need SuperSU? SuperSU never worked for me. So Im trying to make it work for Terminal emu, how do I add the Terminal to Magisk's Superuser apps? I also downloaded ADB module from Magisk not sure if there's some ADB native command with it to do the same commands from the phone?
Oh never mind when I typed su in Terminal after having installed Magisk and all its stuff, finally it detected it and the app appeared in Superuser list in Magisk where I can toggle on or off.

You will have to
# cd /data/adb
then
# rm ./magisk.db
Do note that in doing so, you have erased all the grant history. However Magisk provides no other options to accomplish this. So this is it.
Hello!
I am on LOS GSI 19.1, S20 FE LTE Exynos (with TWRP) - when starting Magisk have this msg:
Abnormal State
A "su" binary not from Magisk has been
detected. Please remove any competing
root solution and/or reinstall Magisk.
What could be reason of that and how to fix it. :/ Maybe someone can help...
Found your thread while searching for a solution of the same problem.
I thought I will share a solution as finding useful info novadays gets harder every day.
Not to get into detailed description, generally it's caused by su existing in /system/xbin path, and in most cases shell is started with su privileges due to an entry in /system/build.prop
Just rename the /system/xbin/su under adb shell or terminal to for example ssu/zu/subackup whatever the name is and after reboot magisk shouldn't yell with a popup.
btw. I haven't encountered any misbehaviour of magisk, but for the sake of not getting this popup I made the change by the way of working with shell on other things.

Hi I found that for some reason downgrading to android 12 PE works for some reason but when I update to android 13 EvolutionX it shows the popup do you mind sharing the command for adb on how to do this because it denied access for me when I tried remounting from r/o to r/w.

if rom you use is complied with adb root capabilites, then just use linux mv command after connecting to shell
Code:
adb root
adb shell
mv /system/xbin/su /system/xbin/zu
if not, then maybe under twrp commandline it could be possible?

Did you set rw on /system or /system/xbin?
Set rw on the top dir, not nested one in which you want to make changes, or you won't get permissions to change anything in any nested directory you set rw on.
Try to copy the file somewhere else and then delete it from its original path. But I bet you won't succeed. Maybe changing the owner/group and all permissions to 777 would do.
I'd also try in safe mode, or in native recovery mode (not twrp, assuming you still have access to it) using ADB
For me it disapeard by reinstalling magisk by the TWRP.

Are you try to flash Overlyfs first without any module in your magisk...
After you flash magisk manager in your phone and installed already, open it and then restart your phone.. then
First: flash only Overlyfs.zip in your magisk without any module installed.. then restart your phone
Second: download root explorer and grant root
Third: find su in system/xbin and rename it in ZU and save and delete zu then restart your phone
I hope I helped you with this post
