hi patcher dont work because kingoroot su binary seems to have other name or seems corrupted i have got many emails from people and they have moved to chianfire's supersu
patcher execute command "su" if your device has su binary present in /system/xbin/su
then root should worked
or try install supersu manually give root permission to supersu and let it update binary once updated install titanium backup and remove those Chinese sh**y apps

i have installed the supersu manually and updated the its binary manually but doing that i lose the root of kingroot and link2sd stops working.

Also blackmart downloads the programs but doesn't installs them automatically.
and link2sd patcher v2.9 says when we run the program patch says root not found i can't patch without root (admin) access!!
try install supersu manually give root permission to supersu and let it update binary once updated install titanium backup and remove those Chinese sh**y apps

I don't know how to manually give root permissions and i tried doing that but couldn't a way to manually give root permission in free version.
Installing super su will unroot kingo root and will make things more complicated after installing super su and manually updating binary will do this then i have to factory reset my phone again and that process will create more complications.
please provide step by step tutorial or suggest forum tutorial links please that kind of explanation is not helpful

Please Provide Root & clockworkmod team win recovery project and CyanogenMod

Not sure this has anything to do with BusyBox. You don't have to have it installed to run as root and to grant SuperUser access to apps like Root Explorer.
What phone? Custom rom or stock rooted? What update is it running? Do you have issues with other root apps? Are you using SuperSU or SuperUser? What method was used to root? Is the superuser binary updated?

Well since you didn't answer half the questions, I'm just going to suggest to switch to SuperSU by Chainfire. Also, which method of Busybox are you using to install? Did it install correctly? What version of Busybox is it?

Root Android

Why not patch Super SU into apk sys (chorme,google play music,etc)of the system to fool the system and install updates it. So you have rooted, is this possible?
SuperSU is a root manager app, it requires Android got successfully rooted before.

Super SU is only a root manager app. Root can't be patched insides system apps, that's not how it works. Rooting is gaining the equivalent of admin right on Windows, so you can edit system files, so can't hide root by putting it inside of some apps. One way you can hide it is by editing one app's code so it can't detect root.
But most commonly, you use root manager such as magisk to hide root from other apps.
And for OTA updates, we can't prevent them to stop after unlocking the bootloader.

Can't install SuperSU with TWRP

Hi everyone. I'm trying to root my Alcatel 1T 7 8067, by using TWRP 3.2.1 and zip SuperSu images, but rooting was unsuccessful.
The last successful root that I got with that method, was on a marshmallow android device (a CATS60), with no issues; but on my recent device (with oreo go), when I try to install supersu by TWRP option "install", it begins to install, and the process log shows apparently an error: "Patching Sepolicy -----Failure, aborting", and when I reboot to system, there is no root access.
As result of those failed attempts, I have tried by installing old versions of supersu with apparent success, but then, when I try to boot the device, it enters into a bootloop.
So I think, that unsuccessful rooting is related to that Sepolicy error ¿Am I right?
I've noticed that there's no SU folder inside /system folder, so, as I understand, it means supersu wasn't installed (I can see that by using the TWRP's file explorer).
So ¿What can I do with that issue?
I've read that Magisk can solve this problem. Following tutorials about, I tried by flashing a magisk patched boot image, but supersu installation issue still continues.
I must say, that I prefer supersu over magisk, because is more familiar to me, but in general what I need, is a system root, a real root access; not a systemless root; and based on my experience, I only can get that with supersu.
@Camilo Gil I don't really understand your point "real root access".
On my Magisk rooted devices I can access any system file and even change it externally and write it back into system.
I used SU previously but as further development has stopped I had to switch anyway.
superSU? do you live in 2010? get rid of that old stuff and use magisk, SupeSu is totally useless in android 7+

By real root access, I want to mean, that SU binaries are installed on /system folder. As I understand, if that requirement is given, all apps that need root access, can fully work, without any limitations. Recently, I tested magisk, supposedly my device already had root access. Then I installed ES file explorer to give it root access, and it was granted on magisk but root access couldn't be activated in the app. That never happened me before.
As I understand, that's because ES file explorer couldn't find SU binaries, because magisk root method is systemless root.
I hope I would explain myself right.

¡More o less! I live in 2018, or at least that was the last date when I rooted a device (CAT S60, android 6.0). I don't trust on Magisk, just because I couldn't give root access to ES file explorer. That never happened me before. And I know there are many more file explorers; I know that Es file explorer is kinda deprecated, and root explorer works fine; but I want a root access on which any app that needs root access, and that I want to install obviously, can work without any limitation. My firsts impressions of magisk root is that it cannot provide that service.
Now, what you say that supersu is useless, it's worrying to me, because I can't see any other alternative for root access.
¿Why do you say it's useless?

Yes it can but in a different way.
You're asked once to grant root privileges for each app that needs it and if you let it have root that's it.
Or you grant root temporarily and will be asked every time for this app.
Apps that don't need it don't get it.
You can change your decision afterwards as well.
Btw I use Total Commander with LAN plugin to access my NAS.

With magisk, I grant root access to ES file explorer, but I can't enable it on the app. As I read, that's because ES File Explorer can't find SU folder in system folder (which actually happens on system root), and because of that, some apps like es file explorer, won't detect systemless root or better, to them, systemless root is detected as non root access.
I read that even supersu must be installed as systemless root, because if installed as system root (or what I refer as "real root") on android 7+, causes bootloops. On my particular case, system root causes an endless boot. As I understand, that happens because supersu can't set /system folder to R/W, on android 7+.
On the other hand, I know there are several alternatives to ES file explorer, for instance Root Explorer, Total Commander, etc. But it's just I'm accustomed to it. But also I read that systemless root not only can cause issues with ES File explorer, but also with Viper4android and some other Xposed modules.
PS 1: We should suggest to google, that release an official rooted android version, specially addressed for us, the medium skilled and advanced android users (that normally we like to root android and get the most of it).
PS 2: So finally ¿is there any way to have a working system root access in oreo, or systemless root is the only option?

I can't remember on which LOS version or when I used it the last time before switching to Magisk.

There seem to be several with that name so just tell me it's full correct name and I will install it on my Magisk rooted LOS14.1=Nougat tablet and see if I get problems with it.

afaik the pure Vanilla is the base from which most custom ROMs are built by the devs and imo most ROMs you can get are not rooted as it's of course a safety hazard.

I know a rooted android is a security and stability hazard of the device. But evidently who wants to root his/her device, is fully warned about its potential consequences. So google could publish a prerooted version, previously warning about its use, warning that its use is exclusively under user responsability, and maybe disclaiming liability for damages. I guess there's no problem if users of that (at the current moment) imaginary OS , are aware of the risk that they are taking by using it. At least, I would use it if could (and as it doesn't exist, it's because I'm trying to root my current one).
