I have a no name android tablet with an intel processor and Android 6.0.1. I can do su inside adb, but none of the apps on the phone are able to get root permissions. Root checker says that the device is not rooted. Is there any way to gain root access on the device

Hey Guys,
Would it be possible to give Samsung's stock app "My Files" root access through su or perhaps modifying the code? I purchased root explorer but to be completely honest like the feel of the original app.
No.
Ability to access root must be built into the application. There are only a few that have it. Root Explorer is by far the most popular and most used.
Isn't android based on linux, and don't applications run like programs? So in theory couldn't you use a sudo or su like command that would give the program full rights?
I know it's got to be possible given the environment that it's running in and I feel like it would be relatively rudimentary.
With root access you can use android terminal emulator and the su command to get root access. Or you can use Android Debug Bridge (adb) from a Windows, Mac or linux computer. Since you are new to android, perhaps you should do some searching and reading so you can gain some general knowledge. In the guides linked in my signature you can find some directions for using adb and terminal emulator.
But still, installed applications will only function the way they are programed, and MyFiles does not have root access.
Thanks for your help, i'll look into adb. Inevitably I want to start developing on the kernel level but thought this would be a good place to start.
Have you tried ES File Explorer? It is free and has root access (must be enabled within app settings).
I also was not a fan of Root Explorer.
HEllo,
I'm actually trying to hack THOMSON THBK1-10 tablet (also know at VOYO A1).
This is a dual boot system with Android 4.4.2, and Windows 8.1, based on Bay Trail (Atom Z3720) CPU. Running kernel is 3.4.43
After a long fight, i gained accesses to /system and /data partitions.
I have so copyed su binary, and changed the access mode to ugo+rx. Good !
Sadly, this is not enough to gain root access. everytime i'm issuing su command i got into a $ prompt.
I must mention i only have ADB wireless for this device: the USB is acting as an USB host, it is not possible to plug it into a PC/MAC.
My question is what i must check, do, to gain root accesses ? What should i look, try, dig ?
Thank you !
Self reply: you only need to have SU installed, as i mentionned.
Is there any other ways i can get root required apps to work other than supersu which won't fetch the binaries at all?
It's nvidia shield portable android 5.1
And i used this guide

I tried to root Acer B3-A10 tablet with Kingo Root.
Root is unsuccessful, however there are still file su binary files in /system/bin, /system/xbin etc.
Now I cannot enter PokemonGo 0.37 as it detects su binaries.
How can I remove those su files without having root to do it on Android?
Is it possible on Windows, Linux via shell? How?
I cannot find Linux drivers, just USB drivers for Win 7, 8 :/
I also cannot find stock rom that should be ACER_AV0L0_B3_A10_1.007.00_WM_GEN1.
Any help?
Thanks
Do you have custom recovery? You could root that way then install SuperSU and use the full unroot option. This is how I keep playing .37 and can still switch to rooted when I need it.
I dont have custom recovery or any kind of file to flash ...
Is there a common method for rooting android virtual device (avd) currently, I have tried SuperSU but it doesn't seem to work. e.g. I would like to root android 9.0.
