[Magisk][Module] su xbin_bind v1.2-20170417

[laggardkernel]

Intro

Expose your su to standard location /system/xbin/su systemless-ly.
Though it helps grant root permission to some apps, this trick breaks safetynet.

Just made a simple module try to solve the /sbin/su not detectable problem. This module will look for existing su binary, and create a link as /magisk/su_xbin_bind/system/xbin/su pointing to the real su. The link will also be mounted as /system/xbin/su systemless-ly later.

Installation
Flash it in Magisk manager or through recovery, then reboot. You will find a link /system/xbin/su. All the work is done systemless-ly.

Uninstallation
Open Magisk Manager, go to Modules, disable or uninstall the module called "Su xbin_bind". Then it will disappear after reboot.

Changelog

v1.2 20170417
Add Magisk v12 support.

v1.1 20170323
- make it compatible with Magisk v11.5/11.6

Update 20170228
- Since a little syntax error in the mounting script from Magisk v11.0-v11.5, mounting links systemless-ly won't success. Hence we choose to copy but not to link the su binary for v11.0-v11.5. Don't worry, both methods are systemless.

Hi, will this not make safetynet fail?

It will obviously. Because su is exposed to /system/xbin/su and will be detected.

Wouldn't magiskhide unmount that and therefore pass safetynet?

I used your module to fix TiBackup freeze when restorins apps.

TiBackup troubleshooting (http://www.titaniumtrack.com/kb/tit...l#tb-hangs-while-freezing-apps-restoring-apps) reports that this issue is connected with wrong su permissions in /system/bin and /system/xbin. Since these are not available due to systemless root, I though that your module would represent an elegant fix... and it did!
Thanks!

Oh c'mon, you cannot be serious... On Xda forums you have threads with hundreds of pages and I would admit you did not read all of them... but your answer has already been replied on post n. 4 in this page... I can' believe it...

Yah i saw it lol....
But magisk usually dismounts xbin folder...
Then it unusual to get it detected unless it is physically present der...
So just wanted to confirm it before flashing...

Unfortunately, doesn't fix the Titanium Backup issue (freezing or restoring app) for me on Galaxy S6 Android 6.0. This also broke SafetyNet for me, even after uninstalling the module from Xposed and rebooted.

If you mean you are using xposed, obviously safetynet will be broken. MagiskHide couldn't hide xposed.
This module tries to fix the su detectable problem. If your titanium backup could get root permission after installing the module, it means the module worked.

My TB is working fine, but I have another app that can't detect it, will give it a test run, thanks for your work!

HI! Just a quick feedback: this module works with Helium Backup that now correctly asks for root permission! :good:
Thank you!

 

[RobotPhone]

Thanks for the module!! It was the key for me getting Termux su working ?

Hello, I flashed this without error and titanium backup as well as ES file explorer both report I do not have root. Magisk v12 states i do have root.


nevermind...i realized Magisk SU isn't installed as it didn't auto install. I had installed phh's superuser r266-2.

proceeded to rewipe and reflash everything.

Please update the script for the new template v4 for Magisk v13!

If *enabled* in magisk 13, titanium backup can't get root.
I had to disable it.
