# Superuser May Be Malicious?

I get this "#" in my notification bar sometimes.
When I slide the bar down, it says, "Superuser may be malicious".
I'm running Myn's Warm 2.2 RLS5, have never had a problem until now. Been flashing a few of the Sense 3.0 roms being tested right now, but am back to Myn's.
What does this mean?
Thanks in advance.

Is this coming from Lookout or something like that?
Superuser has the ability to access the root of your phone, that's why some protection apps may call it a malicious app.
Superuser is OK.

what app is giving the notification? what apps have superuser permission atm? any new ones recently? check the list, and make SURE there are none you don't know about (cuz that woudl def be malicious)

I have seen this message as well. I am running the stock rooted 4.24.651.1 ROM. It shows up for me when using Titanium Backup, which has superuser permissions. There is no indication of what application is calling the warning message. When you select the warning message in the notification menu it opens the superuser app and the message disappears. There are no strange or additional applications in the superuser permissions list. I did not see this message on the 4.22.651.2 or any previous ROM.

That was my first thought as well, but there is no indication that Lookout is giving me this message.
Seems to happen a lot when plugged into my computer.
Anyway HTC Sync could be playing a part?

Okay, I was able to get caps of the problem in question....

I'm having the exact same problem on my Evo running CM7.1 RC1...

I have you heard of this problem. I do not know what to say?

same problem

Are you running the AVG antivirus for Android? I know that AVG flags Superuser as potentally malicious.

No.
Again, there is no indication of what's causing it.

I have got the same message once now on my dinc running CM 7.1 when integrating an update into the system rom. Anyone else have super manager installed? I have gotten other messages simular to this from it.

Running CM6 on a N1 .. I got this message when integrating system apps into the system memory using Titanium Backup. Probably nothing to worry about.

I had the same problem on another device, running Froyo, whenever I tried to update ES File Explorer from Market.
I noticed that, on the previous day, I had just installed an app called "Smart app protector", which lets you prevent some applications from being run by unwanted users, by forcing you to enter a PIN or draw a lock pattern before using the apps to set it up for.
Well, I uninstalled that application and everthing began to run fine again, and I had never seen the "#superuser may be malicious" message again.
Maybe this is your problem too.

Sounds like a new internet meme. "Superuser. May be malicious." I can see the pictures now. *has a vision*

2.3.4 No HDMI output

Hello guys, I'm in need of help here.
I had 2.3.3 rooted and working fine, all recommended bloatware + some I removed on my own, and the phone worked like a charm, and the HDMI output worked too.
Now I have 2.3.4 (rooted via .181 flash + OTA). Removed all of the recommended bloatware, + some new which came with the 2.3.4 update...
.. and it seems that my HDMI output doesn't work. Just wanted to play some Tekken 3 on ePSE + sixaxis controller, plugged it in, and both my TV, my monitor, and my second monitor show either "Check Signal Cable" or "Power Saving Mode"..
I tried reinstalling every single bloatware app I removed, and it still doesn't help. Is there something I did wrong? Or maybe there is some 3rd party app for HDMI out?
Help please!

After almost giving up, finally solved my problem.
By some magical way, neither SEMCHdmiControlService or SEMChdmiEnabler were present in my backup folder or in system/app. Had to put it from 2.3.3, and it worked !
Hooray!

I have a question!
Now, I just flashed 184(UK),installed Gingerbreak 1.2 and rooted my arc.
If I wanna have rooted 2.3.4(with unlock boot loader), I must unroot my arc by gingerbreak and do following:
Flash Generic_World(Nordic).181 and start your phone again.
-Plug in your USB-cable to the computer and phone again.
-Make sure USB-debugging is activated in the settings menu.
-Install Gingerbreak 1.2 and press "Root the phone".
-The phone reboots by itself in about 20 seconds after pressing Root.
-After reboot and a long wait, go to settings and install OTA.
-Phone collects firmware OTA and reboots many times.
-Now Its working and you have rooted 2.3.4
It is right?

Download the apps

Does any of these two apps have anythibg to do with CEC function or is just LG's Simplink no good? I can connect and browse the phone, but only if using phone's screen, remote control does not work.

Anybody? Any idea? I am really getting desperate.

I never rooted my phone so cannot help here.
But you messed something up for sure when doing all the operations.

Can somebody post SEMChdmiEnabler.apk
I do not have it in my 2.3.4 update. Also after downloading 91mb of apps from the above link, there is no such app in there. Of course that makes me think 2.3.4 comes without it and it is not needed, but would like to try nevertheless. it cannot hurt.
So please, if nay of you guys have it, can you share it?

Any luck with that yet? I am in a similar situation. I flashed CM10 but miss the stock alarm clock. I am currently using Alarm Clock Xtreme from the play market which is the closest I have found so far.

Trying...
I am new to this so I have been trying to teach myself as I go. This is what I have done so far:
1) I managed to get the .apk and .odex from stock.
2) Copied them to the system/media folder
3) Matched the permissions on them both in ES File explorer.
4) Moved them to system/app
4) Restart device
This is still not working and will not install. I feel like I am either missing a crucial step (most likely) or it is not compatible.

If it's a Samsung touchwiz app it won't work for aosp roms, without some modification to the app itself, it's not compatible.

I recently disabled this service on my stock JB device. I took a look at the OS logcat file and was concerned seeing approx 100 errors every few seconds. Attached is a sample, which repeated along with lots of other mystery errors. Anyone know what it means? There were no signs of trouble using the phone, but seemed excessive. I had tried the widget once a few weeks ago, then removed it. No alarms were set. Am I over reacting? What does it mean?
Sorry for the html tags. Also attached link to full log file if anyone has any insight into this or the other errors constantly thrown. Is this normal?
Thanks!

This looks like it requires some hardcore reprogramming which unfortunately is beyond my capabilities at the moment. I am self teaching myself this stuff as I go and have minimal programming experience right now. Coming from TW to an ASOP rom can be tricky from what I have been reading.

[Q] Is it possible to remove "Activation" dialog at startup?

I am using the device ONLY as a gaming device and have no plans to activate it through Verizon, however, everytime I turn it on, it asks me to activate on the network. I can simply close this and avoid it, but I would prefer to remove this entirely if possible. I tried to root the phone but no matter what rooting tool I use, it fails. Every time.
Can I please get some help? I am more of a Windows Phone person so I don't know much about Android rooting and modding.

If I recall correctly, the Verizon versions of the R800 (Might be the R800x) are somewhat locked down so I doubt you can do much at all 'easily' to be honest.
At the very least, without ROOT access you'll be unable to write to the SYSTEM partition which is what you will likely need to get access to in order to remove the activation message - it'll likely be an application that simply needs deleting. You can definitely get ROOT access on the R800x's though, I think it requires flashing different firmware using flashtool.
I would however stress to not let this particular device put a 'downer' on Android devices for you as a whole - there are only a small few devices locked down like this and the rest of the R800's aren't as restricted. You need an R800i lol.

I've tried to hunt down info to no avail on rooting this model. Every root too I've used has shown no results. The device does not change.

I have r800x rooted by doom method. Depends on what software you are running what root method you will need. Are you 2.3.2?2.3.3?2.3.4?2.3.7?

You can definitely root the R800x on 2.3.4. I've done it on 3 phones.
I posted this thread a while back to inform others of an easy root method using the Cydia Impactor Root tool .... ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=55573098 ). You won't see any visible changes after running the root tool (other than seeing su binary placed in system/xbin folder after rooting), but you can install Supersu to manage root applications after you inject the root with Cydia.
You may need to install an older version of Supersu after running Cydia Impactor Root, as I have not tested the newest version of Supersu from the Play Store. You can grab an older Supersu apk from here: ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53636923&postcount=2 ) which I believe would work if the newest Supersu doesn't work. ( Thanks goes to XDA member DocHoliday77 for the supersu apk and of course to Chainfire).
After you gain root, then check out post #7 in this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=55290171 ) to see how to easily install CWM / Clockwork Mod Recovery.
.... (FYI, there's actually another root method called Eroot that also works on the R800x on 2.3.4 and 2.3.3....it's discussed in the same thread above where I said to see how to install CWM .... but I prefer Cydia Impactor method instead).
I hope this helps.

Sorry, I had to.
So, I turned this phone on after about a year since this last post and I decided to give it another go. Finally got it using the Cydia Impact method. BusyBox refuses to work but file browsers are allowing root access to delete the bloatware apps so thats good. Thanks for the help!

[Q] Pop up permission

just select "Do not show next time" and allow it...You won't be bothered anymore...Although i am not sure why is the app asking for permission...Have u denied any permission to the app or sumthin coz it should not ask u to grant permission for this...

I tried all the combinations and nothing changed. Still popping up. Same happens when Im taking picture with Facebook messenger, every time asks me if it can use the camera.

That's weird, I've never seen that before on my phone. Is that a built in Android thing or is it one of the Asus bloatware apps?

Perhaps its that antivirus that Asus included. I uninstalled that right away, as it let me do so.

What antivirus?! I didnt install any of that crap. I found that this happens on zenfone 5 and there is a fix for that.
EDIT. What is the latest firmware? System update tells me is the latest version installed but I thing it isnt.
EDIT 2. Yep there is a newer version available. Ill try to install it and see if its happening again
