[Q] How Check Full ROOT on Z1?

eclyptos · Apr 5, 2014

Hey Guys,

I got a simply question, I got root but I don't know if I got FULL ROOT, How to check that?

Yes, on Play Store there are 1000 of apps but I don't trust them.

Any commands from Terminal to Determine if I have Full Root?

~~Uhm open a terminal and make a file in "/system" I guess. You can do that using the following command: "touch /system/roottest.txt".~~

Better answer provided here.

Get root in terminal first by typing

Code:

su

Then mount system as RW and make a directory by typing

Code:

mount -o remount,rw system 
mkdir /system/test

or, mount system using root explorer and then do this

Code:

su
mkdir /system/test

Trust me, you have full root....

A bit confused here with that code....

adb shell mount -o remount,rw system
mkdir /system/test[/code]

It have to be like that in Terminal?

I think I have a problem, what you think? It tells me that system/test is Read-Only..

use root explorer to mount system then try the mkdir again

or just root explorer to mount system..as soon as you can do that you have root.....

Full root just means you keep root after a reboot and the security of the RIC has been disabled

I am not familiar with that, which Root Explorer are you referring too?

root explorer

look on the play store

or use any explorer that can gain root...and just modify something in system...change permission, delete or make a file...

if you just reboot your phone and run an app that requires root and it works then you have full root.

ok...I will try...at the moment I was using ES File Explorer and it not allow me to make or paste any file in system folder...

..I will keep you updated...

then you have root, and if you reboot and can still do this you have "full" root

..I will keep you updated...

There is no need... I am really unsure on why you are asking this. Seeing as you have posted loads of help posts about this I would expect you to know the difference and know that you have full root.

Trust me, you have it.

If you are not allowed to modify system that's because is not mounted as Rw. Go to ES, make sure you have turned on root explorer and then click on root explorer. A pop up will appear, then select where says mount system as Rw.

You see! OMG! That was the stupid thing...sooo stupid! You are the man. Now everything is working.

ES was granted by Su and it now allow me to modified System files and folders.

After executing the commands in Terminal I find a new folder named "test" in System. Thanx to @gregbradley

Thank you all!
