Good idea
A twist on SuperSU would suit me better using direct system viper anyway the point is both system and systemless are good for security ccmt I hope they replace SuperSU but pph I would like a separate build by you not needing magisk but equal to chain fire root SuperSU access

Weird question: i need to root an old Android 4 device, and i find it impossible to install TWRP on it, and without TWRP i don't think i can install SuperUser (there's stock RockChip recovery, but it doesn't seem like it can install anything useful). But i might be able to obtain a firmware image and a RockChip tool to flash that directly onto the device. With some perseverance it should be possible to unpack that image and access partition images (boot.img, misc.img, recovery.img, system.img, etc).
So, the question is: would it be possible to just inject SuperUser into that boot.img right here, on my PC, then pack everything back and flash the whole thing?

I don't have an answer, although it should work; you'd probably have better luck running under a Linux environment while attempting it.
If your device supports fastboot or your tool supports flashing images then use cf_autoroot.
Also I don't really understand what you mean by impossible to flash twrp?
For what reason is it impossible? Is it even available?
You could use KingRoot. If successful you can downlown a app called supersume from playstore it will swap supersu in place of KR. That's how I rooted my S5 back in the day and my Android TV box.
Also towelroot if it's build before a certain date

Is there a way to undo flashing after-effects? I flashed the zip, it uninstalled magisk and I can't reinstall. Says partition has been patched by an unrecognized app

I've always been curious, how close was the Google translation? Was it understandable? [emoji848]
Google translte is quite good now. (Still bad for japanese
)Is SU work with pokemon go and google pay today?
I doubt Phh's or chainfire's for that matter will work with modern apps. Mask is the way to go add it offered advanced hiding options.Google translte is quite good now. (Still bad for japanese

333Hi,
IT MIGHT BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
Always ensure you have a way back.
Here is a thread about my fork of Koush's Superuser, to handle SELinux: https://github.com/seSuperuser/Superuser
So I would like your help to make this SuperUser a proud opensource SU app!
If you have an application that requires root, and which needs specific SELinux configuration please ask!
Build bot: https://superuser.phh.me/
Currently, four flavors of su are available on the build-bot:
- "eng" which puts "su" in permissive mode. This is the most compatible mode, but you should trust the apps you give root to. This does NOT put SELinux in permissive mode.
- "noverity" is eng and dm-verity disabled
- "nocrypt" is eng, dm-verity and dm-crypt disabled
- "user" is meant to give a safe su. su-apps won't be able to access to your Android Pay (for instance) informations, or keep persistent su access without your consent
Please note that user is in heavy development and isn't up to its promises at the moment.
I setup a build bot, which generates boot.img based on my solution, and pushes them to https://superuser.phh.me/
I did this build bot in a way so it is easy to add new ROMs, so don't hesitate asking for new ROM/devices support.
Supporting new devices might mean some additional work on http://github.com/seSuperuser/super-bootimg/ if they are using non-standard boot.img format, but the aim is to support as many devices as possible.
You need to install the APK from PlayStore afterwards: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.phh.superuser
Bot-supported devices
Here are some devices, but there are many more !
- A *lot* of Archos devices
- All Nexus-es, including Pixel C (if some Nexus is missing, just ask!)
- nVidia Shield TV
- nVidia Shield Tablet
- Fairphone 2
update.zip format
The zip is available at https://superuser.phh.me/superuser.zip
It should be able to root any device supported by super-bootimg from TWRP (and possibly other custom recoverys)
You still need to install the APK afterwards. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.phh.superuser https://f-droid.org/repository/brow...lob/master/known-imgs/nexus/hammerhead/MRA58N describes a firmware, nothing device-specific). This only requires to do some PRs to add a device, or on updated firmwares

Bug report
If some app doesn't work, please ask me, not the dev.
I consider I have to fix support for other apps, not the other way around.

2015-11-09: Fix pm disable command98So, I've made a quick and dirty version of hidesu which hides su enough for current version of Pokemon Go. (noone cares about anything else anyway right? Oh right it also circumvents SafetyNet...)
I fully agree to what ChainFire says about circumventing SU detection (on http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68424605&postcount=2 )
The demo superuser.zip is available at http://phhusson.free.fr/superuser-r266-hidesu.zip (you'll notice this is not hosted on https://superuser.phh.me, so don't consider it a real release).
hidesu is enabled by default for the "com.google.android.gms.unstable" process (this is the one scanning for Pokemon Go and SafetyNet as far as I know)
I think this actually could be easily used to circumvent SafetyNet with Xposed enabled (we can make the process think it has the original /system), but that's out of the scope of this PoC.
(I have no clue how this compares to CF's suhide)61- Added a new "Smart mode" for notifications (shows a toast when screen is in use and notification when it's off)
- Added a setting to notify only when access is denied
- Removing an app from the list will require PIN (if it's set)
(I haven't tested these new additions much. So, please let me know if something's wrong)
- @Captain_Throwback some blank space will be removed now41
Alright, now there's a setting available to hide the launcher icon@PunchUp One more request for the superuser app.
An option to hide the app in the app drawer for those ROMs that integrate it in Settings. like Substratum does?
I use Pure Nexus and it integrates phh superuser and Substation (as well as that "other" su).
Thanks
Also, someone asked for the round icon. So, now there's one available for API 25+
And some other minor bug fixes and improvements
Plus, there's an "App shortcut" to quickly enable/disable Superuser. I'm currently not using Nougat. So if someone who is on 7.1.1 can test it, that'd be helpful29
Still waiting for your reply to the email so that I can finalise itI don't think so, @PunchUp made an amazing work there
Full screen request? I think you're using an old build.It works great! Although I feel the full screen request activity is a little intrusive, I'll live with it to avoid the super long SuperSU dialog
Anyway, I did make some more changes a few weeks ago (after beta 9). Since the final release has gotten delayed a bit, here is a new build
