I recently won this developer tablet and I can't seem to get on-device root access. It came with su binaries installed. (very old ones but I updated it) It also has an unsecured kernel because ADB always runs as root. However I installed superuser and it can't get root access and when other apps attempt root access something seems to be denying access before the superuser prompt is even able to come up. Just curious if anyone has any ideas??

This may seem like a stupid suggestion but I suppose you could try uninstalling the superuser app and use Chainfire's Super SU app to see if that might make any difference.
Tried that too lol. I was even able to go into old su app and toggle permission for super su to allowed and it still said fail when it tried to update binary. Thanks for the suggestion though. It seems to me the problem is that the chown and chmod commands are not sticking on the su binary. They appear to work but the actual ownership and permissions of the file don't change. Even when I do adb remount first.
I figured it out. For some reason I had to put the su binary in /system/bin instead of xbin. Which is strange because all my other device it went in xbin. Also the reason the chmod and chown commands were not working properly is because I forgot to do adb remount. (duh!) In case anyone is wondering this thing is a beast. I just wish I could figure out a way to get my Gameloft games to work. I (mainly modern combat 3 and nova3)

One way to get your games to work would be try side loading the Modern Combat 3 and Nova 3 APK's onto the device and installing them manually that way. Another way if that doesn't work is you could try modifying your build.prop and changing your product id to match the galaxy nexus that way the play store will think your on a galaxy nexus and it should say that the games are compatible then.

I know this is an older post but I'm at the same point where I can't figure out how to allow superuser access. I'm using the 8064 for research and I need the root access but can't seem to figure out how to update the SU. Any tips?

Do you have the Superuser.apk app installed along with the SU binary in the correct place /system/bin as mentioned by JBO1018? If you already had working root access before on the device and just need to update the SU binary you can open the Superuser app, then go under the info tab and tap on the SU binary version number this should then check for updates and then ask you if you want to install any found updates.

I have both the Superuser.apk and SU binary in the right place. Each time I open up an app that needs root access a toast message pops saying that the app has been denied Superuser permissions. I tried restarting both apps but its not working.

Try going into the Superuser app and under settings and then security the default behavior is set to prompt not deny.

join have a tablet TIR 8960 is preloaded with windows rt, tablet says about the problems of the system,
i am trying to root some cheap tablet. its based on arm9 wm8800 dual core ,running android 4.4. in developers options there is option to set super user permission (always ask,etc) but it doesnt do anything,when i ran root checker it shows its not rooted,and when i installed superuser from play store it says something about SU binary also apps that require root wont work etc.. so i tried several other options.. after running z4root there's no more su binary problem. root checker shows its not properly rooted,it shows that su binary is there in system/xbin/su but there's red text with some permissions .like i need to fix them,but dont know what to do.. i have rooted many devices,but this is hard.. any help??
Hi all , I have a xiaomi mi max 3 with android 9.
I deiscover that when a app want to capture screen I get a popup asking for permission , this popup don't have a "don't ask again" flag.
This work the same for any app but the stock screen recorder that get the permission without any request.
I've check the permission from adb and found permission that I search is android.permission.CAPTURE_VIDEO_OUTPUT , I've try to grand permission from shell but it won't work.
I see that other version of android ( not miui ) have the flag to don't ask again.
Now , is there a way to grant that permission to an app without confirm it any time ?
thank's a lot,
marco.
I was hoping to get some assistance on my struggle to gain full root access to my Meizu 5 Pro (Chinese version)
I've followed this https://forum.xda-developers.com/meizu-pro-5/how-to/tutorial-change-region-id-to-t3323883/ guide but I'm getting stuck on getting the access. I attached pictures for you to see where I'm at. Where I've hit the wall as it were.
As you'll see on the pics I actually do have root privileges as root permissions are no longer hidden from me and
fastboot screen on the bottom of the screen also shows that the phone is rooted. But the terminal emulator isn't giving access.
I rooted the phone by logging into Flyme account then -> Settings -> Apps -> searched for Flyme app that has "root" in the description. I ran it,
accepted terms, rebooted and root was enabled. This is the vendor-made way of rooting the phone.
What can I try ?

As it appears the phone is rooted but the app tools (SuperSU, terminal emulator, BusyBox) aren't recognizing it.
I have galaxy M31 device and managed to install goodlock. But when running modules, modules are installing but keeps crashing it doesn't even opens. So using warden I noticed that many permissions are not granted which maybe the reason for force stopping. So using adb when I execute the command to grant permission, it's showing: " Permission is a changeable permission type" error. Please how to solve this issue?
An error would be if you get "Permission is not a changeable permission type"
