Hi XDA,
I am fairly new at the flashing community and I need a quick guide on how to grant Superuser permissions without having to install SuperSU or Superuser managing application. I do not need the application manager to grant which applications gains permissions. I just need all applications to gain Superuser access rights all the time on my devices. I'm aware that my devices will be at security risk and vulnerable and maybe I should just hide the Superuser managing application and allow applications to gain access all the time, but I would like to know which files to flash to allow Superuser access. I do not need SuperSU or Superuser managing applications on my devices if I am going to allow all apps to gain Superuser access at all times. I know this might upset people but I would just like to learn it.
Sample Device Usage:
Nexus 7 (2013) Android Lollipop 5.0.2
Using WugFresh Root Toolkit to automate flash and root but I need it to root without installing SuperSU or Superuser Manager.
(Please excuse me if I used the wrong terminologies and caused confusion!)
Thanks!
You're drunk, go home.

That's not how it works. You're not on Windows anymore.
Just hide the app and be done.
What you are asking can probably be done, but it will never be done, because of the security risks.
You can set SuperSU to grant without a pop-up.

I have a few noob questions hopefully someone can answer
I rooted using toasts method part 1 and part 2
I have flipz .6 rooted rom and radio 1.39.00.05.31
Do I always have to go into hboot then select recovery every time or is there a direct path to boot into recovery?
Every time I install custom roms will i have to redownload all my apps every time? If so is there a way to easily back up the apps and restore them?
The superuser permissions app is there after rooting what is it used for?
LxMxFxD - the act of "ROOTING" is the act of giving super user. Super users are accounts on a phone or linux/unix device that can do EVERYTHING on the machine. Like the admin on windows. The whole point of rooting a phone is so you can get super user permissoins.
When i select the superuser permissions app i just see a black screen, should it do more than that?
ccapasso - What you are seeing is normal. The SuperUser Permission app is by default blank. However, once you start using apps that require su permission, such as Wireless Tether, it CAN start to have entries in it. I say CAN because you will notice that when you choose the Wireless Tether app, you will get a prompt asking you to allow. If you choose allow, it will continue as always. However, if you choose Always Allow, you will no longer get that prompt. Also, once you choose Always Allow, your SuperUser Permission app will now show a listing in it. If you simply choose Allow instead, you would still have nothing listed in the SuperUser Permission app.
How do I remove the proprietary apps?
you need to be in the recovery
from the cmd window type
Code:
adb shell
mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
cd /system/app
rm amazonmp3.apk
check this post for a list of apps to remove
can anyone help me out with question 1 or 2?

2) Try Titanium Backup in the App Store - I tend to like it quite a bit.

Hello all. I would just like to know if a level 1 root is sufficient enough to install wifi tethering on a HTC EVO? Thanks!
I couldn't do it till I hit level 3.
What are the different levels of root? I've never heard of them before.
If you have the super user app try downloading Wireless Tether for Root Users.
Thanks phatmanxxl!
Here they are xHausx.
Level 1: Shell Root (with ratc rooting the adb shell but no /system write access)
Level 2: Temporary Root (/system/bin/su installed but lost on reboot)
Level 3: Full Root (/system/bin/su installed and sticks)
I couldn't do it until my level was over 9000.
But seriously, it needs su to run. And I've never heard anybody refer to what type of rooting they used in terms of those "levels" before.

ohh, ok.. when most people say they have root they mean they have root permissions, it comes from Linux and root having full permission to do basically whatever it wants. The levels just sound kind of silly tbh.
To be rooted you'll need the superuser.apk installed in system/app and su installed in system/bin. You'll also need a modified boot partition.

You mean like old root that unrevoked applied? It required applying the exploit every time that the phone booted up in order to get root access. This method no longer applies since it was 'fixed' by Sprint/HTC long time ago via OTA.
The only method available right now is unrevoked 3.21 which applies what you call 'root level 3' and allows you to access the /system partition. There is no more 'soft' root (or level 1 as you called it).

you could use the rageagainstthecage exploit if you don't want to use unrevoked, it was how 2.2 had to be rooted at first but it is a lot more involved then unrevoked.
I did a half ass job in trying to unroot. I deleted the su binary and superuser.apk file but didn't restore the stock ROM or recovery or boot before deleted them. I didn't wipe disk and relock the bootloader either, I just stopped there.
After that, my ROM, Viperx 3.7.7 can still grant apps permission to access root, albeit a little buggy (can't grant for one time but must choose either 10min of access or forever). But after I update to Viper 4.1.1 or CM 12, that ability is lost completely and CWM start asking me if I wanted to fix root upon exit. Right now I can still access root and do things to its file (maybe) but I can't grant any permission, root checker told me my root is not properly installed and like I said above, CWM keep asking me and what I choose (Yes or No) makes no difference.
Anyone got a clue about what I should do? I've already tried to reflash the su binary from the onexroot zip file available on this forum, It didn't do anything.
Updated: I still have my su binary, but I don't have any superuser.apk in system/app
And I can't deleted or do anything to the files in root dir.
Hello
I got a lenny 3 and rooted it with supersu v2.78
Now i got the app supersu.
but if i want for example a firewall i need to open the firewall app and after that i need to open supersu before i get a popup to access it as a su
so my question is how to use supersu without starting it everytime manualy
Ok so Ive been trying to complete root on this Pixel 3 XL.
I rooted with Magisk.
Now, some root checker apps say my phone is rooted, and some don't.
Also, one of the root checker apps tells me the "Superuser App is installed" and "Root User Account: Success". However the same app gives me an error on stage 2 - "Superuser Binary Files: Not Installed"
Lastly, when I open up a terminal emulator on my Pixel 3 XL, it shows a "$" as the directory instead of "#". I can run the "su" command and the terminal will go to the root directory, but when I close the terminal and open another one, I'm right back at "$".
Will gettting the superuser binary files installed fix the above?
How do I get the Superuser binary files installed?
When have you ever automatically had superuser rights in a terminal? You have to run su in each session to gain that right. It sounds like you are rooted. What is not working?
Sorry, I was uneducated on the terminal issue. Just made sense to me that if I had root then I wouldn't need to type a cmd in terminal to get to it.
One thing that isn't working is stage 2 of Root Checker Basic Verify Root function. It tells me that the superuser binary files aren't installed. Not exactly sure what that means or if it even means anything, tbh.
Also when I try to run ROM Manager it tells me I still need to root my phone because Superuser was not found at system/bin/su or system/xbin/su.
But what are you trying to do, that requires root, that doesn't work? If you are getting superuser request and able to respond you should be fine. Now I could be wrong here, BUT... The way the partition table is set up now, on top of all the other different things for Android 10, may mess with certain 'root checkers' I mean it sounds like you HAVE root, but certain apps fail to recognize it. But if it's just checking it what's the problem?

Like I tried to install busy box and was unable to for the pretty much the same reason as your rom manager. It said their was no room in that directory for it.
OK so I installed an updated version of Root Checker and also SuperSU validator and they are both testing fine now.
I think the older version of Root Checker that I was using was programmed to search for the binary associated with the superuser app I used to use for root management a few years ago?
Same problem
