Fix for android apk being disabled as system modified - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Downloaded worldpay.apk available from their site. I have a rooted sanei n10 and updated ICS os. Anytime I try and open app it says ' the operating system of this device has been modified. Due to credit card security measures this app has been disabled' or a message very similar to this. I know some people had similar issue with barclaycard pingit but the fix for that doesn't work in this case. Ie install superSU, uninstall superuser, install hide my root. Hide my root always fails to hide su binary and says there is no su app to hide.
Need a fix that works for this ASAP.

I wish you luck with it, but unfortunately this is not the proper place to ask about that. Please use our Q&A forums for asking questions and kindly post a follow up in our Android Forums for others who may run into the same issue.
edit: If you're using super su try having it hide it/temp unroot and then wipe app data for worldpay. That should do it.

SU binary update failure??

Hi guys, i am wondering if anyone have been successful updating their superuser binary files?
My NT is rooted, and i have installed busybox through the android market busybox installer. However I keep getting a message on my NT's notification bar that my SU binary is out of date, but when i go into SU to do a binary update, it show failure to update. So far this has not cause me any issues, but it is annoying that the message keep showing up after every once a while.
Has anyone been successful running the SU binary update on their NT? if so can you share your experience on how you done it?
Thank you.
Uninstall superuser, install it back from market immediately and you should be good to go. At least this worked for me.
That doesn't sound safe to do. Doesn't android need SU permission to install the SU app. That is why most none rooted device cannot simply install SU from the market to get root...
Please correct my understanding of how root works if i am incorrect.
sideload an updated .apk of SU. It will tell you it's replacing an existing file.
I had this problem and just cleared superuser data to fix it.

How is that done?
Go to the "manage applications" menu, find superuser, and click on clear data. You'll need need something like AppMenu to get to the applications menu.

[Q] Superuser Problems Help!

Hey, Ok so i updated my Huawei u8650 to android 4.4.2 and something went wrong with my root. I can open superuser and it shows my binary and all that and it says im rooted but when i go to a app that requires root access like terminal emulator for example and i type in the command su. nothing happens it just goes to the next line. and i tried to mount my SD card partition in link2sd and it said that the script cant be created because its not allowed to su.
I thought it could be that superuser just wasn't allowing permissions but i open superuser and there's no apps, no logs or anything. I checked my settings and they're all fine and i even tried to use SuperSU instead and i still got the same thing. There's no prompt to allow access either. I don't know if the apps are just not trying to get root access or what? No app can get root permission and i need to get this fixed so i can fix some bugs on the rom. Please Help.
Thanks to all who attempt or do help. Ill be sure to hit thanks for u.

i rooted by SRSroot first then first got the error then i unrooted and re-rooted by using the kingo root method but still received the same error. they are both windows programs u can run for root on multiple devices. They use USB debugging to root then device reboots and bam your rooted.
i used those methods because i tried to just flash the binary files through cwm recovery and it never actually installed into system. The two methods above installed binary and rooted my device but i cant give root access to any apps including superuser or supersu.
If anyone can help me with this it would be appreciated because i hit a wall and don't know what to do. No apps can get root permissions and i cant fix my play store, WiFi, speakers or theme chooser until the root is properly working because the methods to fix those bugs need root to function. so please if anyone has knowledge or any idea why i have root but cant get access please help me out.

If there is a custom recovery available for your device I would recommend flashing that and then flashing the latest SuperSU.zip package in recovery. Part of the problem is the orginal Superuser (by ChainsDD) while excellent at the time is now extremely outdated and no longer really be maintained, as a result make sure you flash a Superuser package compatible with Android 4.4.2 such as the latest version of SuperSU.

try root after factory reset

never asks for root

Newest stable version works but doesn't ask for root privilege. Rooted using Chainfire's supersu.
Also happened to me, but here's the deal, just follow the new setup wizard without root access anyways, then when you have access to the app settings you can change to root mode and force to greenify anything, or try to activate any settings that require root, super su should prompt, then you can grant root access, it's working fine for me now
Best of luck

For me it asked for root when I changed settings under "wake up tracking and cut off".
If nothing happens to you reboot your phone and try again, you could also check to see if there is any denied requests of greenery in super su app and manually grant it.

Oh it works just fine. It's just not showing up in Supersu as having root access.
I have the same problem.
After I updated from the market today I can't get greenify to properly request root access.
When I run it I tell it I'll rooted, see it saying it's requesting root access but supersu doesn't prompt then says it can't get root. Same results with rebooting.
In supersu there are no request prompts from greenify. I deleted the greenify access to see if that would get it to reprompt but it still says can't get root and supersu shows no requests in logs.
Other apps still work fine in supersu.
Edit --
Interesting, I disabled the module in xposed and when it prompts for root supersu pops right up. So I gave it access that way but logs show that once the module is reenabled it never asks for root.
Weird
Can't get root privilege
I've updated it trough the market and followed the wizard. When its given the choice i selected root but response is> there is no root<, so i decided to recheck it manual as suggested in the app)Same problem, no root request popup, not showing in su(chainfire). Also wake up tracker does not remember it's setting.
What i did so far:
Reinstall greenify, reinstall SU, deselect Geenify module and select again in xposed.
Reboot
Never it shows up in SU or get root request permission popup.

Got mine to work by deselecting Greenify module in Xposed and rebooting. Started Greenify app and it said to either to activate the Xposed module or select non-root mode. I clicked on Greenify settings and tried to change Xposed settings and a popup window asked if I wanted to activate Xposed module. I selected yes, Xposed started, I selected Greenify module and rebooted. During the bootup process, Greenify asked for root permissions.
A similar process worked for me: deactivated the Xposed module, rebooted, started the Greenify app, then I went into the Greenify settings and turned on the enhanced wake up tracker, which caused Greenify to request root. Granted permission, then reactivated the Xposed module and rebooted again. Checked in SuperSU that Greenify had permissions, then I just had to re-enable the Xposed based features in the Greenify settings.
Having done that, however, I see from the SuperSU logs that Greenify isn't actually requesting any root permissions since I re-enabled the Xposed module. I suspect the new version is using Xposed for all its root access and no longer needs root permissions for the app in Boost (Xposed) mode.
Lots of guessing here.
I tried doing a plain re-install. Greenify comes up with the new setup process, tells me it's going to request root access and then does... nothing. Then it complains it can't get root access and stays there so can't install anymore. Completely broken. Unless I want to go without root which is not my intention as I don't want to use it with a reduced feature set.

Read prior posts for further guidance. Seems others have got it to work. I had zero/nada/no problems on latest betas w/Xposed and SuperSU 2.76. YMMV.
What can I say.... I do a clean install, the app says it's going to acquire root and then fails. I'd call this a bug... Honestly.

Using SuperSU? If ≥ 2.77 try 2.76 (terminal build by ChainFire).
BTW - I tend to agree there's a glitch somewhere given complaints; Q&A will hopefully allow dev to isolate/rectify.
I'm using SuperSU v2.78 with the latest Greenify v3.0 build 5 beta and it working fine.
Wonder if I should drop back to v2.76 and how to even do that without losing root?

If life is good don't change anything! I'm not out to skewer SuperSU v2.78; the problems I and a few others experienced are likely outliers with various contributing factors. That said, SuperSU 2.76 has been rock solid on my devices as have most of ChainFire's previous releases. Sticking with what works for now.

Did all of the above and it doesn't show in supersu. Strange thing is Greenify works with root+boost selected just fine. Doesn't show in su logs either.
If you moved Greenify apk to
"/system/priv-app", it won't need to ask SuperSU for root and won't be in the SuperSU log. Is that the case here?

Hum - assumed those with Xposed framework left Greenify as a user app. Perhaps not the case for all. As you pointed out one would not necessarily expect a prompt for privileged access if the app resides in "/system/priv-app" depending on how the active SU manager (typically SuperSU) is configured.
I don't think you can do anything to the SuperSU configuration to make it so apps in priv-app have to ask for SU permission. I have other apps in there and have never seen them ask and they are not in SuperSU log either.
I moved my Greenify apk into priv-app because it wasn't clear to me that there was nothing to gain by doing that as I already had Xposed installed and working. Have since moved it back to original folder in /data/app/.

- Android 6.0.1
- SuperSU 2.78 (systemless root)
- Xposed
- latest Greenify Beta from PlayStore (in Root+Boost mode)
- NOT installed as system app or anything.
Same problem here -- Greenify never asks for root, is not listed in SuperSU logs. Greenify initially had root access iirc, but one of the updates from PlayStore removed it.
Nevertheless Greenify seems to be working fine though.
EDIT: All other root apps on my phone (OnePlus 2, stock OxygenOS 3.1) don't have any issues with root access.

Unable to install magisk manager.

Hello world, amazed by how many people gave been helped by this site, I decided to make a post so I can find a solution..
I own a Samsung galaxy s6 and it's rooted with TWRP app and I have installed sulersu right now. So I wanted to play super mario run on my device but suddenly an error popped up which I looked for and found out that it's caused by my root. The first solution that I found on the internet was to install magisk mask and hide the root for the specific app. However in the installation guide I saw some weird stuff like uninstslling your root and stuff. I want someone to guide me and if not install magisk, at least play Mario run somehow.. Thanks in advance

Install Xposed Installer app, it is not available in play store, so Google it.
There would be an option to install the framework in the app.
Click it.
It may take a while to download necessary files.
Once downloaded and installed, it will ask for permission to reboot.
Grant it, press the reboot option.
It may take a while for your phone to reboot.
After your phone reboots, open Xposed Installer and go to Downloads option.
Search for RootCloak there and install it.
After installation, you have to reboot your phone again.
Open RootCloak after reboot, there would be an option "Add/Remove Apps".
Select it.
In the new window, select the "+" icon and select the app you want to hide root from.

[Serious Help needed!] Pls tell me if its a virus or not!

Hello all.
I wanted to hide xposed from certain apps, so made a recent search about hide xposed. and found this site:
https://www.xda.im/apk/com.yaerin.xposed.hide
And downloaded the app with full stress!
After launching the app, it looked so normal! so activated it in xposed installer and rebooted. but this app didnt hide xposed from safetynet. so tried to unistall it and it said unistall was unsuccessful, but the app wasnt in list anymore!
I tried to access the /data file with es explorer but there was no file showing, so I noticed that es explorer is not finding root. My magisk manager supersu menu, doesnt load up and it crashes.
I accessed the /data folder from twrp file manager and installed every folder I didnt recognize.
But after restartung the phone, I still cant access the /data with es explorer and the supersu menu in Magisk.
I uploaded the file in virustotal and this is the result:
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file...685b65bf26b187ece0127cd1436ee4d3dbb/detection
The scan result is: PUP.HighConfidence
What danger have I sticked my head into it?!
Should I factory reset? Is it a virus?
Is it safe?
Guys help me pls.
Thanks!
Ill upload the file for more info to be given.

But im still afraid to be infected with that virus which I dont know what is it!

Yup, that's not an official XDA-Developers url.
As said lots of these sorts of tools/apps can trigger virus checkers because they access system files that normally apps shouldn't access. That's true of many apps you'll find here too BUT that's not to say it's safe. You install such a thing at your own risk. At least with things on xda-developers you generally have the chance to read a thread about the app or even question the developer about it.... things from obscure websites carry a higher risk.
