phh's SuperUser/ OpenSource SELinux-capable SuperUser

[adrman]

Holy **** open source root app. I was paranoid all day yesterday after flashing SuperSU just to handle franco kernel parameters. I want to try this new superuser. I noticed there are four modes. Which modes resembles SuperSU default behavior?

I'm using the 2.66 hidesu version with Franco r32 on my 6p. It works great. Just try the default configuration of the zip first. That will set you up as "eng" as described in the op. If you're unencrypted though, make sure to edit the config.txt in the superuser.zip to "nocrypt".

Hmm do you need magisk to actually flash phh superuser.zip? All over the place magisk and phh are mentioned together but my understanding is phh does not need it.

No need. Works independently too

Hi,

Is someone has the same issue than me? I followed all the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/app...agisk-discussion-t3465722/page57#post69046358 with success and no error. I'm using phh's SuperUser application.

During the startup of Android I have the root access. For example I can see that betterbatterystats get the root access and rootchecker shows that root is correctly installed. But, when the startup is finished (around 2 minutes) the root access is gone. All applications required a root access tell me that no root is installed on my smartphone. I can reproduce this each time I restart my phone.

I have a ZTE Blade S6 running on Android 5.0.2.

Do you know what could be the reason of this issue?

Regards

Yan'

Hey guys I am noticing flashing phh and then a custom kernel like franco (uses anykernel) removes root. This does not happen with SuperSU. Is this a known issue?

Yes, flash kernel, then phh

It's possible use this on any ROM flashing only the zip? Without a boot.img patched or Magisk?

Yes. Use the zip method. You might also want to edit the config file before that. Read the OP for more details.

It should be as long as the existing rom doesn't currently have root built in. Be safe and have a backup though.

Cool, I am all set now. I just need to remember reflashing phh every time franco updates.

tell adaway to use /data/data/hosts and let it download and "apply" the adblock. press NO when it asks for symlinking. then do "su --bind /data/data/hosts:/system/etc/hosts" (w/o " " ofc) in adb shell using ur PC. phone terminal apps dont seem to work properly for this. thats what i and several others did and it works. if it worked "ls -l /data/data/hosts /system/etc/hosts" should output 2 lines with the same filesize (that large number in the output) if one line has only 56 where the other has 2.1 million byte then smth went wrong. safetynet is still green after this.

edit: reboot after the adb su --bind command ofc.

I 'think' after doing this, I now have a "Your device is corrupt" warning that pops up on reboot. Is that to be expected? Obviously not a big deal if it is. Always had the "Your device software cannot be checked for corruption" warning after unlocking my bootloader.

(I also did boot into TWRP and mounted system as r/w, but did not do any writing, manipulation or editing. Don't think that set it off. I was unaware the default hidesu zip would unfortunate encrypt my formerly nonencrypted data so that's a different step that I'm used to).

Mounting system r/w is exactly what did it.
If you are going to do anything that touches the system, you must use no-verity configuration

Ahh thanks. Will reflashing a noverity version of phh undo this warning, or do I need to reflash my system,etc?

Rebooted and now I'm passing again. Was odd. Safetynet Helper was saying CTS Profile Match = false

Same here. It passes after a reboot, but a few hours later it fails and needs another reboot. Running Resurrection Remix on Note 3.

Can 266 hidesu be used without Magisk? I'm getting Bootloop on my Xperia Z3 at the flash screen after flashing on clean kernel boot.img with Magisk uninstalled.

@phhusson using this kernel as a Base seems all Soby Xperia devices get stuck on flash screen as it's been mentioned earlier on but with no answer as far as I can see.

[phhusson]

@phhusson, when flashing superuser zip over stock kernel, it boots fine. When flashing over ex kernel, it's stuck at boot logo. Flashing stock, superuser, ex boots fine.

Any particular reason for this?

What's "ex kernel"? link?

Guys. I'm sure you are boring of these qustions.
But can you please give me any advice how to run PoGo?

I have hideroot version on my 7.0 CM14 and in SafetyNet checker is CTS Profile : False

So we as root users cant really play PoGO?

The problem here is most likely not root, but CM.
Please note that you most likely CAN'T pass SafetyNet on CM.
But Pogo doesn't use SafetyNet's checker, it only checks for root. (and likely for xposed and such)
So the test should be PoGo, not SafetyNet.

As far as hiding su, can random generated number be used instead of a file name?

Yes, but then, how would applications find that number?
Basically, if an app can find the "su", PoGo can find it as well.
That's why the only possible method is to hide su from some apps.
(Actually there is another possibility, which is to give a method to send a SU request, but you will know if there is indeed an SU only when the request answers, but that would deeply break compatibility with root apps)

I would recommend both switching to no-verity and reflashing the system partition. That way updates can be easier to apply

Same issue here as well.

On initial flash and startup of PureNexus ROM, I could get root (added ElementalX kernel control)

An hour later installed TiBackup from Play Store but it couldnt get root access

Rebooted and TiB worked OK. I havent checked since (funny how not that much stuff actually requires root!)

He's talking about Elemental X Kernel.

Sorry, wasn't clear enough.

ElementalX kernel on Nexus 6P. Anykernel method.

Indeed, thank you.
