[Q] Can't open SuperSu - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm currently running rbox's updated 51.1.4.0_user_514006420 ROM. I can still grant superuser access to apps that request it, and apps that require su function properly, but I can't open the SuperSu app itself, it just crashes. When I try to open it from the KFTV launcher, the screen blinks and it returns to the applications menu. If I try to open SuperSu from XBMC, it causes XBMC to crash as well.

I think it has to do with the way I'm installing it. In theory if you were to delete the SuperSu.apk from /system/app and sideload the apk yourself, it might work better. And if you horribly break things, you can always just reinstall the prerooted rom to get it back.

I deleted it and sideloaded it back. Same behavior. Just want to get into its settings. I used the latest PlayStore version APK.

Yeah, same here. I ended up installing Clockworkmod's Superuser and uninstalling SuperSU. All I needed was the ability to disable notifications on a per app basis.

Direct download from CWM website
You'll have to re-approve superuser requests since it's a different app. I believe this is the same superuser app that comes with Cyanogenmod

I can start including this one in the prerooted instead of supersu if it works better.

From what I read the supersu is always the best one to choose. Certainly with phones.
I just dont know why we cant launch the app as normal to adjust settings.
Can you launch yours? Can anyone?

I don't know about "always the best". It's all the same crap really. CM ships with Superuser and it seems to work fine for everyone using that.
I can't launch it either.

I also had the same issues. However, I was able to fix it by deleting "/system/app/SuperSu.apk" and then side-loading an older version of SuperSu (2.01). So, it looks as if the issue may be with compatibility with more recent versions.

same story here + can not erase "Supersu.apk"
"rm failed for /system/app/Superuser.apk, Read-only file system"
I am on pre-rooted 51.1.4.0_user_514006420
opened towelroot again, clicked "make it rain" it tells me "device is not supported" (since pre-rooted rom ?)

If so.. Is there a correct order to get rid of the SuperSU & Sideload the new one ??

Titanium Backup SU error?

Does anyone knows what this error means or how to fix it?
I assume you are rooted already? If so, I would grab the new superuser app that was just released and install it. That should clear up any SU permissions.
My guess is something didn't install correctly or got borked somehow. At any rate, update your superuser and see if that fixes it as the previous poster mentioned. I believe there is also an update to busybox on the market as well.

apps installed on the system partition have access to root without the need of SU to control it. When you install an app like superSU you now give that APK control of any request of root rights. When phone asked for root it didnt know that you have an app that is now handling the request and thats why you were notified.

Oh n Santod, I'm on 1 of your stock rooted odexed roms, I noticed SuperSu isn't installed as system app when I look in the settings in SuperSu, is it better to leave it as a user app, or go ahead with the install as system app??

[Q] Root Apps

Sorry If this is the wrong section. I'm kind of new here.
So anyways, I have had my kindle fire rooted for over a year with the hashcode 4.3 AOSP rom. I have recently tried to use screencast apps off the play store that say root-only, and thinking my tablet is rooted I install them. Whenever I try to use them it says something similar to "Must root device before use!" or whatever. Is there something I need to do to make them work??

In apps drawer (where all the apps are) there should be a superuser app, or maybe in Settings>Advanced options
Superuser is like a firewall to root access.
Sometimes superuser responds to slow, may need to check automatic response, default should be prompt.
Could try changing to allow , and see if that works, may not be good to leave it like that, but is ok for testing.
also could try root checker, or installing a different superuser

AdAway is working fine for me. I assume you are rooted? Have to restarted the device since installing AdAway?
I ran into the same issue on adaway 2.3 but with adaway 3.0 its working just fine
Yeah i´am rooted... I use this version, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190753
On my previous phone (Nexus 6) don´t work too
I am using adfree now and it works Good.

if you don't have something like cf. lumen (although with root it shouldn't have this issue.) you can adb it. adb install -r apknamehere.apk
you just need the apk and adb in the same folder.
Did you clear the proxy in the Access point settings (Settings => Wireless networks => More => Mobile networks => Access point names) ?
Use the adblocker in ROM Toolbox. It adds localhost redirects to your hosts file so it's much more low-level.

Download the app, go to the adblocker, click block, reboot.
sorry if i'm stating the obvious, but when you installed adaway on the nexus or lg, i assume you went in to the app and clicked 'download files and apply ad blocking' or words to that effect, then reboot?

Just to dig it up again. It is working for me.
I'm digging this up as well. Adaway istalls fine, but when trying to turn it on, it fails to save hosts file. root explorer says that system folder has r/w permissions. Any suggestions?

Root with Spectrum TV app (solved)

Anyone know how to hide root from spectrum TV app. I used magisk hide but that isn't doing it. It still is flagging the phone as rooted. Magisk hide works for my bank app so I don't understand why spectrum sees root.
Solved.... OP is @Ibuprophen and created a mod for the spectrum app.

Its the same with skygo
We have to wait until xposed works for pie i guess.
They have a module that hides root better than in magisk
I'm ready to crack this egg. Service costs too much for such heavy limits on what can be done with it. There was a project a while back, when it was TWC TV, to remove the in/out of home limitations, hide root, and allow Miracast/HDMI use. Wonder what happened to that.

Anybody every figure out how to hide root from spectrum t.v. app. I've tried all settings and apps I can think of.
I'm assuming you tried repackaging magisk manager with a random name? It's in settings right under the "Clear Repo Cache". I have mine enabled so it now says Restore Magisk Manager, not sure what it says if you haven't done it.
Also try renaming or deleting the MagiskManager folder in the root of your file system. Magisk just stores downloads there so you don't need the folder. Pokemon Go requires both to be done as well as Magisk Hide.

I'm curious if you have any Magisk Modules installed? I've read elsewhere that some root was being detecting because of some magisk mods. If so, maybe try without any mods installed or with Magisk Core Only Mode enabled.

Have you tried to login spectrum before rooting the phone with magisk? Then flash magisk and go to manager then menu and select hide. You can hide root from the spectrum app.

Think I found a solution. Check this post out. Tried it and its working with the latest Canary build of Magisk but I think it will work on stable version as well. I did hide the app with Magisk Hide or thought I don't think that is needed either.
