Android x86 8.1 r3 deactivate the root authority - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

fresh installed the latest version android x86 8.1 r3 on a 2nd partition on hard drive
selected NO on read & write during installation
read some were that that disabled Root and SuperUser and wouldn't install
ran Summoners War and tried to update the game and received a message " Deactivate the root authority in the system settings "
image>https://photos.app.goo.gl/jMZw7wLmHotcqU2VA<image
then i did another fresh installation with the same android x86 version and tried the following
1 / Enable Developper Mode (tap 9 times on build number on the settings)
2/ On the developer's options, enable full root acces.
3/ run the terminal emulator
4/ use the followings commands :
> su
> rm /system/bin/su
> rm /system/xbin/su
5/ Reboot your device.
6/ Return on developper's options and disable root acces.
7/ Reboot again
Now your device will be full unroot.
and that didn't work still have the same message while trying to update Summoners War
any other options on how to install android x86 without root ?

when trying to use these
> su
> rm /system/bin/su
> rm /system/xbin/su
in the terminal it says files are missing . i gave up on that quick and moved on
well i disable the root access in the Dev mode and under account settings i saw that SuperUser was already gone thought that might of solved my problem then i rebooted and tryed to update Summoners War and the same Messages came up " Deactivate the root authority in the system settings "
will try to use some app to UnRoot android x86 8.1 r3 will report back tomorrow

have you solved this problem? I have same problem with the sky go app

Hi, I solved this problem following this guide:
asdasd.page/2018/02/18/Install-Magisk-on-Android-x86/
This guide let you install the latest release of Magisk. I try and now it hides root to the apps. Ask if you don't understand something.

Hi Leonardo,
unfortunately this procedure does not work with sky go
thanks
Enzo

An app what is interested in fact whether Android is rooted or not simply searches for presence of su binary: if present Android is rooted. It's all so easy.
Even Magisk includes a su binary.
This may do the job:
Install SuperSU app, if not done yet
Run SuperSU and go to its Settings
Choose "Full unroot"

Can Virus survive Stock ROM flash from ODIN?

I just discovered a new permission request "Android System" UID System User 1000 in SuperSU .
I can't explain where this comes from.
So I did the following:
1.) Factory Wipe
2.) ODIN and simply flashed the Stock ROM with 1 file ROM in PDA slot
One thing I didn't do was Format the System Partition
But the next time I install SuperSU the permission request appears again.
So I want to know, does ODIN flash and Factory Wipe, truly wipe everything?
You didn't wipe everything. You didn't wipe the system partition where the su request came from.
Thanks, I thought the TAR.MD5 Odin ROMs clear out everything in the system partition before writing.
Weird, even after going into Touch CWM and doing the following:
1.) Factory Wipe
2.) Clear Cache
3.) Clear Davlik Cache
4.) Mounts and Storage > Format /System
5.) Reboot to Bootloader
6.) Loaded ROM via ODIN N8010XXUCMK2 http://www.android-hilfe.de/origina...jellybean-4-1-2-20-11-2013-a.html#post6823310
7.) Loaded Touch CWM
8.) Installed SuperSU zip
Upon the second restart, it again requests for root from Android System UID User 1000
Huh.. strange. You wiped everything this time so that's weird. I've never seen a su request from Android System (the android system has root as default, as an OS should have). I'll dig a little and i'll be back soon.
UPDATE: I think i cracked the case. It's Xposed that does this on Samsung devices. If you do not use Xposed, it could be SuperSU. Be sure to have the latest version installed.
If you are referring to this:
Current Superuser/SuperSU releases have security holes that allow any application to execute commands as root without the user's permission (even apps with no permissions). Please upgrade immediately to SuperSU >= v1.69 or another patched release.

The device is on one of the latest SuperSUs 1.80 and then updated to 1.85, and never on SuperSU =< v1.69
Regarding the System User Request, Is below what you are referring to?
cernekee said:
On a rooted Android <= 4.2.x device, /system/xbin/su is a setuid root binary which performs a number of privilege checks in order to determine whether the operation requested by the caller should be allowed. If any of these checks fail, the denial is recorded by broadcasting an intent to the Superuser app through the Android Activity Manager binary, /system/bin/am. /system/bin/am is invoked as root, and user-supplied arguments to the "su" command can be included on the "am" command line.
On a rooted Android >= 4.3 device, due to changes in Android's security model, /system/xbin/su functions as an unprivileged client which connects to a "su daemon" started early in the boot process. The client passes the request over a UNIX socket, and the daemon reads the caller's credentials using SO_PEERCRED. As described above, /system/bin/am is called (now from the daemon) to communicate with the app that implements the user interface

If I understand this properly, it's saying SuperSU accesses some functions as the System User 1000 on Android devices previous to OS version 4.3
On Android 4.3 and newer, SuperSU access those same functions without using System User 1000.
This would explain why this permission request does not appear on my Android 4.3 device, but it does on my Android 4.1.2 device.
Is this the correct understanding?

Internally, Superuser/SuperSU can switch UIDs to execute different subprocesses with different user credentials. But these do not generate requests that you would see on the screen.
To track down the source of the request, can you run these commands from a PC while the SuperSU dialog for "Android System" is on the screen, then paste the results?
Code:
adb shell busybox ps -Tl
adb shell ps
Here it is:
Attached
The command output of "adb shell ps" is also inside, just search for "adb shell ps" in an txt editor to jump to it.
Although, I'm a noob I will try to help. If I mind correctly , If you go supersu > setting is a checkbox that says something about "system processes" or similar, make sure that is unchecked. You could also try emailing to the developer of supersu, your rom and kernel
Sent from my Xperia Mini using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I know that, but just indiscriminately "trusting" the user doesn't make it safer. Just like keeping your doors open so you won't hear anyone break in doesn't stop the actual breakin from happening.
And it's also a stock ROM from: http://www.android-hilfe.de/origina...jellybean-4-1-2-20-11-2013-a.html#post6823310
Is it possible these Stock ROM uploads are infected with malware?

How to Remove/Replace Kingroot (KingUser) with SuperSu

If you was one of those who root their devices by using KingRoot App and would like to remove kinguser and related files, you can replace it with the well known SuperSU.
Here's a small script to remove Chinese kingruser, all related files and folders, and install SuperSU.
This script will do all the work for you without using PC, just by terminal, first of all, thanks to chainfire for his SuperSU files.
Before starting :
Download and install Terminal emulator appTerminal emulator app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en
Download and unzip "Replace_Kingroot_With_SuperSU.zip
http://tiny.cc/fo78zx
Steps :
Send the extracted folder "mrw" to the internal storage of your device and make sure that this folder contains 4 files
Open Terminal emulator and type :
"Su" (without "")
Allow root permission
Type :
" sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh" (without "" , notice there's space between sh /sdcard.)
It might display some error, but wait for 30-40 seconds and at the end it will launch supersu or open supersu manually.
Update su binary normal, then reboot.
Done !
I ran the script and it went thru to installing Super Su but I lost root and couldn't update binaries. I redownloaded King Root and opened it and I instantly had root back. Are there other files that King Root has installed that don't allow this script to work. If you have any insight it wouldbe appreciated. I know I am on a different phone but script seems to work up to a point. ZTE Z820 Android 5.1 Thanks
I can confirm this method works on Lenovo Vibe X2 running Android 5.0. New Kingroot 4.5, the one with crown icon, successfully replaced by SuperSU while root status remain intact. A process crashed upon Kingroot removal, however restart seemed to get rid of the problem.

May I ask did you have busybox already downloaded and installed? I see that the zip contains busybox as one of the actions of the script. Maybe that's why it didn't work for me?? Also I have Kingroot 4.9.2 and I'm thinking that is the main reason the script fails for me.

I had KingRoot v.4.85, on a KitKat 4.4.
The script didn't work, so I plug the phone and connected to the computer, opened a console, executed the adb shell command and start to give each of the script commands manually one by one.
The failure was at pm uninstall com.kingroot.kinguser (com.kingroot.RushRoot wasn't installed anyway).
The packet manager wasn't able to uninstall Kingroot. I had to uninstall manually using the phone
Code:
H:\Development\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20140702\sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
[email protected]_z10:/ $ su
[email protected]_z10:/ # mount -o rw,remount /system

I have rooted my phone (Android 5.1) with kingroot 4.8.0, I also want to remove KingRoot and replace it with supersu.
I plan to execute the script line by line via an ssh session as root on my phone.
finally how have you uninstalled Kingroot manually ?

I modified the script in this way:
After
Code:
pm uninstall com.kingroot.kinguser
I've added
Code:
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.buak.Link2SD/.Link2SD
echo "Press any key to continue"
read typedkeys
The first of the three added rows launches Link2SD app (that I've installed on my phone since I rooted it); the last line pause the script execution.
I used Link2SD to uninstall Kingroot.
Anyway I have to say that, even though the installation of SuperSU seems completed without errors, the apps that asks for root permissions didn't receive the answer from SuperSU and they aren't granted root permission, so... it still doesn't work.
it did not work, superSU can not update binary and can not uninstall the other root app (kingroot)
guys,I am telling you a working method which worked for me..
but you are going to need some version specific apps for first time..
things you need...
1. clean MICROMAX a311
2. kingoroot KingRootSetup_v3.2.0.1129 (i can upload it if you want)
3. Supersume.apk {MUST BE VERSION 6.4} (application used to change from kingroot to supersu)
note -- Pay attention to versions,messing with them will not allow you to achieve target.
steps..
1. install kingrootsetup on pc(must have internet connection to work)
2. connect ur phone with ADB enabled from developers option
3. root ur phone by following on screen instructions...
4. after rooting,install supersume on phone
5.open the app,click on big blue button and wait...
done,replaced kingroot with supersu..

Just used this solution on a Vodafone Tab speed 6 (VF-1397).
Seemed to work fine but after updating superSU and rebooting the Tablet, screen went black when boot reached unlock screen and couldn't see or do anything except using the power button options.
After some reboots (lost count, ~5/6, and failed atemps to enter recovery), (and the removal of the sim card) the tablet finaly started to optimize all my apps as if the dalvik cache had been wiped.
Afterwards screen went black again and couldn't do anything again.
After some time was finaly able to enter recovery and i'am now trying to format everything.

Sorry to hear that...
can you tell how you were UPDATING supersu ??
i also updated from 2.4.5 to 2.6.5 without any problems...
were you using genuine zip of supersu meant for your device ??
or just regular zip ??
don't you have backup of your tab....you were rooted..
1st thing you were to do was to make a full backup...why didn't you did that ??
Script didn't work for me, tons of errors because the path wasn't right. Fixed it to have exactly the same but still plenty of errors and SU binary would not update.
That supersume.apk thing though... MAGIC!!
Thanks heaps!!!
Device reboots
Any idea why the device reboots when I press enter at the last command? I did everything correctly, step by step like you describe it but instead of replacing the KingRoot with SuperSu the device reboots and the KingRoot is still there.
The device is Sony Xperia SP (C5303)
Any help would be great cause I used the exact same method some time ago in my tablet (Lenovo A8) and it worked perfectly. But not in the Xperia and I don't know if I should fully unroot it and try a different method or what.

Busybox marshmallow + Browser secret mode

Here simple tool for busybox installation. This is specially designed for stock ROM and kernel users. Without busybox many root app may not work correctly so made a simple one Click Tool for same. Also it have one more function to enable Broeser secret mode with password/fingerprint.
This application requires root.
1.Intall attached Busybox MM apk
2.open app - grant su
3.read status of busybox. And select to install if it is not installed.
4.once busybox installed, restarting app should show new status.
5.Also added small Tool to enable browser secret tab (with password / fingerprint) but that require to have busybox. So first install busybox before activating it.
Really I couldn't test this so recommend to make nandroid (at least before some report comes)
Cant install busybox, every time i install it and reboot it's gone.

ROOT BlackPhone 2 (BP2) with Sudo SU

Hello community,
I'm new in the forum, It's 2 days I'm fighting with this problem: I want to root my BlackPhone 2 using TWRP and SuperSU (I think that this is the only method that works with BP2, since KingoRoot and others are patched for security)
I flashed the recovery TWRP, then I tried the following SuperSU versions:
SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-2017...zip
BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2.zip
SuperSU-v2.79-2016...zip
UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-2016...zip
None of them works, in TWRP all goes OK, no errors and no warnings, but then when I open SuperSU apk it says "There is no SU binary installed... ...If you just upgraded to Android 5.0".
This is really crazy because I'm running on Android 6.0.1 (Silent OS 3.0.7) and using Total Commander I can see /su directory.
Using a root checker app it says that my device is not rooted, but the SU binary is present and also the busybox one.
The Silent Circle's Security Center in their "Privacy Meter" app warns me "Security alert, active root access detected! ...."
For install TWRP I had to switch these things on in Developer Options: "OEM unlocking", "USB debugging", then I enabled installs from unknown sources by ADB and SD card.
Any help will be great, Thanks guys
EDIT: sorry for the Thread title, I can't modify it, it should be SuperSU not sudo su (too much linux)
But did you try sudo su? Install a terminal emulator and cd to the xbin directory. FYI, the SU directory is there by default afaik.

Oh I didn't knew that the /su dir was there by default sorry. I downloaded the terminal emulator and "sudo" is not a valid command, when I type "su" it says nothing, and "which su" tells "/su/bin/su", but it does nothing apparently.
If it's not rooted at all how can Silent OS say "root access active detected"?
I just installed SuperSU zip via TWRP, there are other things to do in order to maintain root privileges?
PS: another RootChecker app detects that busybox is installed in /system/xbin/busybox with version 1.13.3, I don't know how that happened, busybox is installed by SuperSU?
Unfortunately they are in the same situation. But I admit that I did not install the TWRP permanently due to a possible bootloop phone. Has anyone found a solution to the root?
i have same problem i want unlock bootloader .............need help plz!!!

ZTE Maven Z812--permanent rooted terminal and read-only system root (no kingoroot)

my method here will give you a permanent rooted shell and will give you read-only system root which is useful for using root apps to backup data or freeze system apps--works just like real root without being able to delete system contents--freezing apps however works like a charm and should reduce the need for rw root anyway
FOLLOW DIRECTIONS EXACTLY--I WILL NOT RESPOND TO STUPID QUESTIONS--PROBABLY WON'T RESPOND TO ANY QUESTIONS BECAUSE MY DIRECTIONS ARE PERFECT, WORK PERFECTLY WHEN FOLLOWED, AND ARE EASY TO READ. FOLLOW ALL STEPS EXACTLY. IF IT DIDN'T WORK, IT IS BECAUSE OF YOUR ERROR
This works best from a factory reset device, but will work from a already used device but all other root apps and superuser apps must have their data deleted and be uninstalled first
1) make sure device is at least 50% charged--doesn't matter most of the time; better safe than sorry
install latest superuser apk
http://www.mediafire.com/file/dx854fsys5pvxjh/SuperSU.apk
install dirty cow root apk (croowt) [comes from this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/root-tool-dirtycow-apk-adb-t3525120
http://www.mediafire.com/file/1hbey829hc7676a/CRooWt.apk
make sure usb debugging is activated in developer settings and make sure you have accepted the debugging access prompt on the phone for the computer you will use
make sure you have an external sdcard installed--the smaller the better for this first time
2) open dirty cow root apk
choose "get root"
choose "method 1"
hit "ok"
choose "ok"
app will direct you to unmount and remount sdcard, choose "ok" and it will take you to storage settings
unmount sdcard
remount sdcard
when finished proceed to step 3
3) open superuser
do not update su binary
go to settings and make the default action "grant"
remove any and all apps from superuser log including the croowt app
3) THIS MUST BE DONE FROM A REAL TERMINAL ON A PC--TERMINAL EMULATORS WILL NOT WORK FOR THIS STEP
from a working pc with adb setup, preferrably linux, input commands exactly as listed
adb shell
su
setprop persist.sys.k P816A06
reboot
5) once rebooted, open dirty cow root apk again
choose get root
choose "method 2"
hit "ok"
choose "ok"
if app asks you to open with a browser, choose one, and choose "always"
screen will go black, systemui will crash and then reboot
6) once systemui is back up and running
you now have read-only root
you can now freeze system apps or backup your data using apps that require root
Your shell will be permanently rooted when accessed from a computer using adb--this will last forever unless you undo the setprop
Your system however will only be temp, read-only rooted until the phone is rebooted.
If you wish to have your temp, read-only root reactivated, all you have to do is repeat step 5 and that is it.
You can do this over and over again.

Does this only work to back up or freeze applications?

ACTUALLY READ the first sentence of OP
I don't see how freezing system apps would negate the need for a real root method? Is this "Read-Only" root method working with lucky patcher or Kernel Auditor?
Can this be used to bypass the subscription check for tethering? I assume not since system isn't writeable.
Does this method work in the ZTE Maven 3 (Z835)?
I'm doing it wrong, probably
First of all, thank you so much for doing this. I've been following that other thread since it was new, and you've put far more effort into this than the phone or most of us deserve.
I've gotten stuck trying to run Dirty Cow. I have USB Debugging enabled, adb installed on my Linux computer which recognizes my Maven (i.e. I've allowed access on the phone), etc. It eventually goes from "Checking vulnerability" to "Your device is not vulnerable" and I'm unable to proceed to the "Get root" step. What am I doing wrong? Might be some recent system update? Probably less effort to just buy a Galaxy.
Please be gentle. I know I'm a noob.
z812 root
I previously rooted my maven with kingroot and the dirtycow exploit.sh file and today I was overwhelming the device by running multible windows and apps and the phone rebooted and root was still intact....haven't rebooted it again yet but I shall.
