Unable to access root - LineageOS Questions & Answers

I'm using asus zenfone 2 ze551ml
it's running latest build 21/9/17 of lineage os 14.1
im unable to get root access
i have checked my system folder in root directory through TWRP
Su file is present but although after allowing apps and ADB to get root access in developer setting
the ui which apparently ask for root access is not popping up
and root checker suggests that your device is not properly rooted at all
This problem came up when is switched rom lineage os 14.1 (nougat 7.1.1)
to lineage os 14.1(nougat 7.1.2)
recently updated su addons dated 25/06/2017 are having such a problem for me
plz update the su addon for X86(or firmware) or atleast give me the reason to stay on this rom
Thanks A Lot

Did you upgrade or do a full wipe?
Some stuff that I read indicated that uninstalling old su before installing the new su build was a good idea. It was released for those that had issue with the old one and not really a upgrade.
I recently did a full wipe on my phone (moto z) and used latest su on 7.1.2 without problems.
I suggest checking out what the local forum thread of your device says. If this is a device and build specific issue I'm sure some other people noticed it too.

I know what are you trying to say
That many device uses same su so check you my phones specific
But tbh what is know is there are only 5 devices running x86 cpu zenfone 2,4,5,6
And only one of them is running lineage os 14.1 other dont support officially so they use 13.0 's addon zip
That means only zenfone 2 can flash 14.1's addon su
And FYI I did wiped first
And xiomi's phine are having same problem with this popup

Finally a solution........ That after long desperate efforts worked for me. You can flash the Magisk 13.0 zip. Mind you an upgraded version will lead you to a loop to your custom recovery. Magisk 13.0 is zenfone 2 x86 architecture compatible. Good luck. Just got this solution last night. Tell me if this helped you and also if you found a better way.

first you can flash the latest supersu.zip to root any non rooted rom
second you can follow what LOS developer said about rooting ( flash addonsu-arm-signed.zip ) from the official website

Its already rooted. But you need to "enable" root in Settings>Developer options, just like in CM.
Although I'm confused why the Lineage website says the same; but then also gives instructions on flashing SuperSU (which isn't really necessary)?

i think the root option is totally removed from LOS based rom ( make it optional for users )
and a lot of roms now shipped non rooted some of them came with magisk as root manager with it's features
Hello
This morning, a friend installed this Custom Rom on my HTC One M8.
I just saw that I can not move an application to the micro SD.
Is this a bug in this Custom Rom?
Is there a solution to correct this?
Thank you

This is how is it on the last few version of androids.. I don't remember if it was possible on Lollipop also ? Android 6,7 you cant move apps to sd card. There is other way to do it , "kind of" but its buggy.
Flash the zip then enable in developer options.

Yes all m8 variants ( the regular m8 ) have one build
That's the case with all aosp roms
Sent from my HTC M8 using XDA Labs
Lineages OS 14.1 rooted by SuperSU v_2.82 and after rooted if you want to r-w to SD card then should use file FX app to get permission.
This Lineages rom have update by OTA weekly, it's nice and compare to XDA rom RR 7.1.2 both awesome but RR control battery life longer & charging faster due to settle well heating.
My HTC one M8 used Lineage 14.1 for months just try RR 7 1.2 build 20170612 and 20170622 feel very good and hope it will be weekly updated by OTA as per Lineages

I am using my sd card as adoptable storage so does that make any difference? I'm sorry, but I can't understand what you meant when you wrote "if you want r-w to sd card then should use file fx app to get permission." Do you mean there is an app called "file fx?"

Problem with Netflix app

Hi.
I've a problem with a Netflix app (last version) error 5.2, in my nexus 7 (flo)
With android stock by google (6.0.1) and root SU or Magisk no error and all works but if i try a custom rom lineage os 14.1 or RR (android 7.1.2) with and without root does't work.
The file liboemcrypto.so don't esist in these custom rom.
Can you help me?
nobody?
I think you have the same problem as another poster... here's what I believe is your solution:
If you want to run Netflix, you need to run an older version of NetFlix. The ROM developer for Pure Nexus created a signed version (I think avoids you receiving app updates). Here's a link to the download: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862715472 Thank the developer (his ROM and any other info is located here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...ratum-t3576447 ).
I've been using this version on mine for the last month. Works Fine.
"com.netflix.mediaclient_4.16.1_build_15145-15145_minAPI19(armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com"
Allows downloading as well.
On lineage 14.1 only 4.8.5 works for me 4.16.1 does not.
Running magisk rooted Lineage 14.1 (02/28) here on flo and deb Nexus 7s. Netflix v5.14.0 (which downloaded from playstore this week after rooting w/Magisk). All works fine, including downloading.
Installing 4.8.5 worked. Thank you.
Although being signed, it did still ask me of I wanted to update.

Well, i'm confused for the Android Pie update.

Ok, well.
I saw that i can install android pie on my already rooted oneplus 5t (android oreo 8.1, OxygenOSS 5.1.7).
I downloaded the file from xda, updated TWRP at last version, downloaded also last Magisk version for rooting after updating my android version.
I got "Zip treble compatibility error" That i didn't know what is it so i searched and i found out that i had to remove the "compatibility" zip in the zip of that downloaded update.
I did it and it didn't worked again.
What is happening why i can't get android pie?
Also, are there any problems with this build? In searchings i read that the phone doesen't recognize the 100% of batterylife and keep get charged and can be ruined.
What if you download the android pie beta from the oneplus.com website. ive been using this for a month or so and it worked fine for me, especially when you're used to OOS.
So if i download the rom from there, i got no "Zip treble compatibility" error?
i can speak only for blu_spark software but this worked for me:
use TWRP 9.85 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=30332) to update FROM 5.1.7 to pie (remove compatibility.zip for this update)
once you are ON pi, install
TWRP 9.91 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=31102) for any update from now onwards (no need to remove the compatibility.zip any more)
use the rom from this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-7-2-7-1-1-ota-t3709265
official rom: http://otafsg.h2os.com/patch/amazon...TOxygen_43_OTA_045_all_1901072301_6ada5c1.zip
I am going back becouse xposed framework is not supported on android pie
by the way i post here how i got pie from oreo becouse i faced lot of problems!
-First of all download the official update
-then, the only twrp i found that work is this: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/dumpling/twrp-3.2.3-0-dumpling.img.html the 3.2.3.1 didn't worked for me.
-i had to flash magisk uninstaller and then install magisk, i got bootloops before doing uninstall and then install.
Btw i am downloading another rom for 8.1 becouse xposed don't work for now on 9.
Any suggest for changing the rom? I am searching what to get
thanks anyway guys

Xposed on Nexus 5 and LineageOS 15?

So i recently re-installed Lineage OS on my old nexus 5 and i was wondering, how can i install Xposed on to it, with framework and app and all that? With the search results online i am not getting really far, i don't quite know what version to install , how to do it etc....
Note: i need Xposed specifically to install multiple custom watchfaces on a huawei watch GT2.
I tried installing a version, but it just reseted my phone, and when i check the Rooted sate of the phone i get "not rooted" or something like that.
I installed LineageOS via TWRP on the phone.
Can you guys help me out here? i did not root or install custom FW on a phone in a loong time and i am out of the loop of recent hacks and stuff.
Thanks in advance

Main point for xposed: what Android version? For xposed I recommend nougat. LinageOS 14.1 is still getting security patches.

I don't know much about tabs but I was facing the same issue when I was flashing some files on my android device. I had to change the file system of my device by booting into recovery mode, I changed my file system to exFAT and then installed the custom ROM again ( not sure if it was necessary to reinstall ), then I installed magisk and everything worked fine for me, not sure if this will help you resolve your problem but you can try.
Just take a backup, just to be on the safer side.

If you only need root, you can flash this instead of magisk

In that case I would start with clean flashing. And always use latest magisk. In case you need safetynet - canary version only works at the moment.
Installation method is now download apk from github, rename to zip, flash with twrp.
