GameLoop is an Android Emulator which has two different variants
old GameLoop based on Android 4.4 (i am NOT talking about this variant)
new GameLoop based on Android 7.1.2 (i am talking about this variant)
In the setting of GameLoop there is an option about "abd debugging" and "root authority"I activated both of them.
If we don't activate them, the emulator doesn't shown in "adb devices"If we activate them, the umlator shown in "adb devices"
And we can use other adb commands.
But, it is not enough. In the emulator we cant use root authority.For example, we cant use titanium backup application.Because, root management apps don't work properly (magisk, supersu vs...)Becuse, supersu binaries is absent
I can not use root access in the emulator.
i have watched nearly all the videos on Youtube
i have read nearly all the articles on the web
Still i can not do this!
it's been a matter of pride for me
I am not a developer,
If a developer prepare an article how to do this , or record a video, i can do this
Please help me?

In fact, you can use rooted adb on gameloop 7.1 (AOW Engine) And you can install supersu, replacing the binary with adb -e push
The problem is that by doing that, all calls to "su" will trigger a driver_exception BSOD because there is a driver blocking it (AOW_DRV.SYS) Unfortunately there is no way around this as the entire AOW Engine runs on that driver. I guess Gameloop devs did this to prevent cheaters from using apps like Gameguardian that require root. Unfortunately so far there is no way or any method to do it, I'm just waiting for someone to do enough RE to the driver to bypass it.
Gameloop has another engine based on Virtualbox (Standard Engine) The latter can be easily rooted via adb. Even with a little work you can unpack android_system_disk.vdi and patch 2.img (boot image) to install magisk and then repack .vdi again.
The thing is that you will not be able to play games like PUBG or CODM on this engine.
The grace of this emulator is being able to use it to run games, I know there is no other that compares to it, but unfortunately the only alternative to be able to play and have root access is to use bluestacks 5 or you can also downgrade the version of gameloop to the one based on android 4.4, but this version is currently obsolete for current games and it's even worse than bluestacks in performance, it also doesn't support more than 60 fps

Thank you my friend for giving the most sensible answer to my question. This is the answer I've been wondering for a long time.

I bought this nice minicomputer - MK812 Mini PC Dual-Core Android Camera Mic BT 4.2.1 and I relied on the fact that since there is Android 4.2 installed, I can use switching users, but unfortunately this function is disabled. I need to get it to work.
Of course, I googled. This is what I've already tried:
http://www.pocketables.com/2013/03/how-to-enable-multiple-user-mode-on-cyanogenmod-10-1-and-some-other-android-4-2-2-roms.html
The problem is that this command pm get-max-users returns Unknown command get-max-users.
Furthermore, when I enter SetProp fw.max_users 8, it has no effect, even after a reboot. The command pm usernameyouwanthere create-user is also without effect.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187934
App - 4.2 Multiple users feature enabler
This app can't be installed by Google Play (apparently MK812 is not a compatible device). Since I couldn't get APK anywhere to download, I downloaded the source code and compiled it and generated APK. Unfortunately, can't be installed either.
I studied the source code and found out that even if i was able to get it installed, it wouldn't have worked anyway, because this app runs similar commands (as those above) instead of the user.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.switchme
This could be a solution even for Android 4.0 and 4.1. It works, but switching takes too long, because it requires a reboot and this switching is not integrated into the system. So I do not want it.
Do you know of any other solution or anything what I could try?
I googled again, found this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34362377&postcount=8
But setting fw.max_users=8 in /system/build.prop haven't helped either.
Unfortunatelly they answer me, that MK812 mini pc does not support multiple user function. So I have to use SwitchMe Multiple Accounts

Edit: I see, can you and are you willing to get the source, modify it, build it and flash it? I'm going to have to enable it for my phone so when I figure out what needs modifying I'll let u know.
Hello all, I got my Amazfit Pace a few days ago and the first thing that I wanted to do after flashing PACEified was get proper on-device root, as you know right now PACEified comes with adb root shell so we can modify the watch however we want from and adb shell but that means we're always dependent on another device for doing so, apps on the watch have no way of getting root access.
I am actually amazed that no one else even seemed to have any interest in achieving this as it was somewhat easy for me to figure it out and now I'm sharing it with y'all.
Requirements: being on a ROM that has adb root (ex: PACEified) or ability to boot the temproot kernel.
WARNING: If the stock kernel has dm-verity the temproot then install SuperSU method will lead to the device refusing to boot, I do not know whether it does or not.
Disclaimer: I am in no way responsible for any damage this can or will cause to your watch and/or phone, you are the only one responsible for your own actions.
Anyway here's the steps to getting SuperSU 2.79 fully working on your watch:
Download the attached zip file.
Copy the zip file to the watch.
Open a terminal/cmd/powershell in the folder where your adb binary is located.
Run the following commands in order:
Code:
adb root
Code:
adb remount
Code:
adb shell
Now you are running shell commands on the watch itself so do:
Code:
busybox unzip /sdcard/SuperSU-2.79-amazfit.zip
Code:
cd /sdcard/supersu/
Code:
sh root_amazfit.sh
Done, reboot and enjoy!
I hope this helps others as it did help me and I do hope I didn't make any mistake.

Chainfire for SuperSU
Neuer_User for PACEified
KevinX8 for the SuperSU 2.79 zip for Android Wear (I used that one cause it already is setup to allow all by default)
Everyone else that I can't remember right now
List of useful root apps for the Amazfit:
MiXplorer-useful file manager with addons and root file management options: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523691
Kernel Adiutor 4 Wear-very popular kernel options management app, won't give too many options since the stock kernel is actually quite limited but still allows tweaking a few things like changing the schedulers and their options, enabling init.d and other such stuff: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-wear/development/app-kernel-audiutor-4-wear-t3126122 (I only tested this version but the latest normal Kernel Adiutor version might also work perfectly since the interface seems pretty friendly with low resolutions)
Advanced Settings for Watch-provides a plethora of options like Bluetooth and WiFi settings management, reboot menu and most importantly PACKAGE MANAGEMENT and by that I mean it doesn't just have the normal app settings menu that allows you to clear data/cache, force stop or disable/uninstall apps but ALSO INCLUDES A PACKAGE INSTALLER for installing apks straight on the watch: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sssemil.advancedsettings&hl=en (get the wear apk from inside the main apk, it is located in /res/raw just open the phone apk as an archive also WARNING: many menus/options make it crash cause this is not Android Wear)
Another one.

Same as on any other rooted Android device.
A few apps I have on the watch that use root are:
MiXplorer-file manager
Kernel Adiutor-can improve battery life/performance by messing around with it a bit
Root Essentials (the wear part sent from inside the phone apk)-it's great for uninstalling apps and such
Hello. Stock ROMs can boot "temproot kernel"? Could you please like to where it's explained? Thanks.

MiXplorer is my mobile favourite Android explorer.
I don't know the other apps, i must learn about it.
Any suggestions about them, Kernel auditor seems very interesting. I have very much problems with my Amazfit battery, last month suddenly i don't get more than 2 days of autonomy
Thx.

Stock ROM can boot temproot kernel only if old enough version to not have the bootloader locked OR you unlocked the bootloader after, to get the temproot kernel go to the PACEified thread and read the install instructions, it has you booting the temproot kernel on order to flash it and it might be possible to just boot it, root and reboot but I am not entirely sure, if the Amazfit has dm-verity it will refuse to boot after altering the system, I actually didn't think about that when I wrote this guide cause it was 5AM so would recommend flashing a custom ROM.
@Neuer_User does the Amazfit have dm-verity?
Also would you consider adding SuperSU to PACEified in the future?
Double post cause mobile XDA is messed up, delete.

To be honest MiXplorer just about works but isn't really 100% usable cause things don't fit on screen, looking for a better root file explorer for the watch.
The stock kernel doesn't really allow you to control much cause the stock kernel doesn't seem to have too many features but can still change governor and a few other stuff and if nothing else it can enable init.d if you don't already have it enabled, I use the Kernel Adiutor 4 Wear version but TBH I think the normal one should be just as usable.
For your battery problem you could try deleting some unneeded apps like the Mi Home or the Chinese radio one (if on Chinese ROM/PACEified) and maybe Greenify will also work but wouldn't really put my bets on it, perhaps try using some battery saving scripts?
Right now I'm looking for an apk installer...I have a solution already but it's probably the worst one possible: a init.d script that checks if there are apps in a folder on the internal storage then installs all of them and deletes the apk files but that means you need to reboot in order to install apps, could make crond run the script every hour or so but that would also not be too convenient so either a script runner or a apk installer would be best.
BTW after uninstalling apps from the watch using a root app you need to crash the launcher or it will still show the icons for the uninstalled apps.
Also I'm working on improving the script to add safety checks (if someone tries to run it without the other files in the same folder right now it would most certainly end up in a mighty bootloop, fortunately a bootloop with adb access so easy to fix but still not great, I made that script in like 5-10 min after I manually did it on my own watch) and add more features like installing a newer busybox version and linking missing applets (unzip for example).
Updated 2nd post with a few useful apps, one of them finally giving us the power to install apps straight on the device, will publish the new version of my script in a few days, have been working on adding A LOT of new features and now I kinda need to concentrate on the project for my Android class for a bit, sorry for the delay.

Most probably next week, haven't really had time to work on it with the last week of college before the holidays and the fact that I bought Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on launch day and it's been eating most of my free hours, lol, sorry for the delay, anyways the current script still works for simply rooting but will give a no such file or directory error if init.d isn't already enabled, just ignore that.
Thank you @Ranomez
I've just tried your local root using the temproot kernel on the latest stock rom, and it worked great. So, I can say my pace doesn't have dm-verity enabled?
btw, SU was added to Stockfied, Pacefied and Stratosfied, just needs to be enabled.
Hi,
I want to root my xiaomi mi box 3
Do you have a tutorial to do this?
I don't find it....
No you can't. Xiaomi does not provide the bootloader private key unlock. As referenced here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an.../to-root-xiaomi-mi-box-s-info-please-t3876822

Yes
I've done it before , but it was more of a tethered root for say , I used a raspberry pi to get around the selinux , make sure adb was on , downgraded to the userdebug rooted , got the pi to disable selinux when it detected the box over adb , then after you have that accomplished update the box and there you go , I'd have to do it again and wipey box if you wanted me to try it again , and get another pi for it to bypass that little annoyance of a bootloop (caused by selinux) your not changing the ROM just modding your current system and getting around your selinux so no your bootloader doesn't need to be unlocked , like someone else said but it's tethered for say

You are playing with semantics. What you described is a system that allows temporary admin access via userdebug firmware. This will not allow you to install any apk that requires administrative access and goes away on reboot.
Unfortunately, there has been no userdebug version for either Android 8 or Android 8.1, so none of the international official AndroidTV boxes can support this method.
Only hope is to find a factory fresh MiBox 3 (MDZ16AB) that is still running MM version, 4.54 then flash a Nougat userdebug firmware, build 1028.
Had apks supersu installed
Had super su installed the only thing wrong with the set up was after I updated the firmware , it was still rooted but if I didnt tether something to it to disable selinux on boot itd hit a boot loop , but if you downgraded with the update.zip file , did the adb root , uploaded su , installed supersu , set up the outside device with adb to disable selinux, upgraded, youd have an updated mibox 3 , I'd have to go through google but I used a modified version of someone's script for the root and some udev rules on a rpi0 , and posted somewhere the instructions I'd just have to find it again if I do I'll share the link or re duplicate and share
Just read a tool exploiting a new 0-day exploit may be able to root and disable the selinux (making it untethered) called quickr00t if anybody wants to give it a shot thinking I will my next day off it's a poc code right now you'll have to compile it yourself , thinking I may try my next day off , so Friday I may give it a shot

I have MI Box 3, with pre installed Netflix TV application i can play upto 1080p resolution. Problem is when i install mobile apk to MI Box 3 i can only play upto 540p (960×540) resolution. (Checked with the test pattern episode in Netflix). MI Box is DRM L1 certified. I wanted to play mobile Netflix Application since i want to play US contents using smartdns and use my netflix content based internet package ( With latest version of netflix tv app doesn't support smartdns properly, when i enable smartdns with Netflix TV Application it start to bypass my content based internet plan). All things work fine with Netflix mobile application except the resolution. How can i fix that? Any ideas?

Mobile apk is not designed to validate presence of DRM as it is not allowed to exceed 480/540 resolution.
You could search for earlier versions of Netflix Ninja (AndroidTV version) which may be more tolerant of VPN trickery...
You may be able to extract it from some of the older Nougat or MM builds here or in /r/Androidtv on Reddit.
Good luck

I had to downgrade the MI Box 3 to old Oreo update and it works. But don't know how long i can use Netflix Ninja 5.4.1 version in there. Even when we have paid for Netflix UHD Subscription and Pay for Data bills why Netflix bother to give us 1080p support? I do not see reason behind it.
[COLOR=var(--darkreader-inline-color)]So recently the oculus go virtual reality headset was bootloader unlocked and adb root was enabled. Given that the headset runs android, we’d like to get it rooted. However no at the moment custom rom exists, nor do I have the skills to develop one, and any custom rom developed would likely require serious modification to get running as the device is a standalone virtual reality headset. We’ve also tried magisk but it doesn’t work.[/COLOR]
The best option I can think of is to manually install a SU binary via adb push. However I’m not entirely sure where to find such a binary nor where to put it.
Please can you offer some assistance. While I’m certainly no Linux or coding noob, I’m pretty inexperienced with android and rooting.
Attached the SU binary ( 32bit & 64bit version )
If you boot into the recovery having Magisk installed doesn't root work?
It's android 7.1.1 "Legacy" SAR. So it should work as said here.

Is there anyway to get Snapchat to work on these phones? I know there has to be android version 4.4. I think i have 4.3 in my Sony Xperia V. I also know there is a problem with snapchat locking rooted devices so this can be a problem. Is there any official releases that can handle snapchat?
I have Windows 8.1 does it works the same? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...y-xperia-s-stock-to-android-8-1-oreo.4222141/
I think i go for Android 7.1.2/nAOSP instead of Oreo. Something tells me Oreo will gets to laggy.
I got to: Seems like me phone is Desimlocked. How to easy lock it up. It stand 5 after all, i guess 5 attemps
5) MAKE SURE PHONE IS NOT SIMLOCKED
We need to check phone is not SIMlocked.
Open dialer, enter code again
Code:
*#*#7378423#*#*
Go to Service info > SIM lock. If everything is blank/unchecked ( [] ), phone is Desimlocked.
If not, you must contact your network provider for an unlock code.
### Don't move further until phone is simlocked. You cannot debrand/desimlock it using a custom ROM.
Should i copy the Android 7.1.2/nAOSP rar to the flash folder?
In Windows, copy the path to the "flash" folder you unziped earlier.
Open a Windows command prompt : Start menu > Command prompt > Start as administrator
Then type
What to type cd /d thePathToFlashFolder should cd be the moved files to d? destination?
I guess even if i get it to work snapchat will detect my rooted phone?
I have it like this C:\root\djibe\flash what path should i move to this folder the oreo 8.1?

Correct.
Snapchat is performing a few tests and if at least one of them is positive, the application kills itself when Superuser is found in the system.
I know some xposed modules can prevent that. I guess you cannot root the phone and install custom rom and then unroot?

Great you know this.
IMO it's a widespread misconception that a rooted Android can be hidden to apps: don't think the developers of banking / payment / other apps are dumber than then people who root their device's Android, this due to fact that all rooting methods ( e.g. SuperSu, MagiskSU, KernelSU, MTK-SU ) are based on open-source-code which everybody can look into to find out how Android gets rooted, i.e. where to search in filessystem for the SU-binary.
Thanks, so it is very hard to use snapchat on rooted phones? I need that so then a custom rom can't be so good for me. Official releases can be installed without rooting?
FYI:
Latest Snapchat v12.32.0.35 ( April 26, 2023 ) only runs on Android 5.0 and up.
