Shell Has Been Granted SU Permissions - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got that message every few seconds and have nearly 200 entries in the SU log in about 2 minutes. I had to reboot.
While it was happening my phone slowed and stuttered a bit. Searching didn't really help much, just suggestions like reinstall SU or ROM.
What is shell and why was it hijacking my phone?
I was listening to the walkman at the time and there was no other app requesting permission.

Yeah I got that sometimes too. Rebooting seemed to help, but I still don't know the cause of this.

Had this problem also. What's the last app you use with superuser permission?

Try uninstall, reinstall and re-grant superuser permission?

I got this message when I rooted mine and then plugged it into my computer with flash tool running... I think flash tool needs it to see of you're rooted or not

Yup:-/ I just use voodoo root keeper, temp unroot real quick before I use anything that detects it. Its stupid but at least a quick fix for the time being in these apps.

They are terrified of piracy and rooting makes it pretty easy.

Change superuser apps to SuperSU and use it's temp unroot feature. Also if you do so make sure you update SuperSU's binary's before you delete superuser

How do you update the binaries with SuperSu? Went through the settings and couldn't find update or update binaries.

It sort of did that... it said supersu needs to be updated. Didn't mention the binaries. When i opened the settings and didn't see the option, i figured that was the case but I wanted to be sure before I removed the old su
Thanks for verifying it for me.

I read the reviews and that's bull. There's no reason to keep rooted users blocked. Just rate it a 1 star and move on. Hopefully they'll see the error of their ways and revert the change.

[Q] Read CPU frequency without root

Hello!
Is there any way of reading which of the cores are active and the frequency they're currently running at on the stock rom, without root acces? I tried cat-ing /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq but I get 'Permission Denied'. Is there a tegra-specific way of finding out, or is root required?
Thank you!

There's an app called Cpu Spy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5idmFsb3Nlay5jcHVzcHkiXQ..
But you just can see the frequency they're running at in percent. And also look in the developer options und systemsettings for show cpu activity or something like that...
(If this helps you please hit the thanks button because I would like to get access to de dev-section )
I am not looking for an app that can do this, there are plenty on the market. I am interested in the actual way in which I can read the information directly from the system, to use it in an app of my own.
Use a file explorer. Es file explorer works for me.

I have tried with multiple file managers and text editors, they all say there's an error opening the file.
I just tried with solid explorer beta 2 and was able to read it. Mine is rooted though.
Can it be a permissions issue? File permission is read for owner only.

Yes, I am pretty sure it's a permission issue and you can read it with root. Did you grant Solid Explorer SuperUser permission or did you notice the pop-ul when you tried opening the file? If you did, it means it tried without root but failed, then used root.
Just edited my post. File has read permission for root only.

Shell randomly getting superuser access continuously!

Is anybody getting this on FI03? It slows down my phone and won't go away till I reboot! Also I did do some searches and read a few topics about it on different devices. Seem to be common on ics roms. Some people suggest using supersu instead. Any feed back on supersu and if it has the same issue? Just trying to find out before making the switch.

I already updated the binaries just was waiting on some feedback before installing supersu. Going to go ahead and do it now. Hopefully it does the trick. I've already hard reset my phone twice and same problem.
Update: Just want to say getting rid of superuser and installing supersu fixed the problem. I guess after many years of running superuser it's time for me to retire it. I actually like the look of supersu better. Anyways just in case someone else has the issue in the future that's the fix.

Another weird pop up message...

I was at my sisters all weekend. Phone was perfect. I came home. Tried to get on the internet & now I keep getting a pop up message, about every 3 seconds, that says "shell has been granted superuser permissions"
I am rooted...
What does this pop up mean?
Restarted my.phone & still keeps popping up.

It means something is getting superuser permissions. In SuperSU you can look through the apps you have given permission to. You can then modify their permissions, i.e. block apps. Try blocking apps until you find the one causing problems.
Good luck finding it.

If you have superuser installed, it's a recognized issue with the developer.
Short story; root isn't sticking at boot.
You can open up the app and make sure binaries are updated or you can just apply the supersu apk. Supersu will take priority for root permissions and it doesn't hurt anything running both.
If you have supersu installed and superuser doesn't apply to you, open supersu and ensure binaries are updated.

Do you have an app the requires Superuser that refreshes after a certain interval? That could be doing. I think Juice Defender has an option for rooted users that can scan for data, wifi, etc. after certain intervals. Just an example that you might be able to compare to?
I figured it out guys. Thank you so much for your help!!
