Unable to access root

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.

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.

LG G3 D855 custom Rom??

Is anybody still using a LG G3?
I love mine, I rooted it recently and install Lineage 15(android 8.0)
I keep getting the Magisk safetynet fail.
Should I flash a different Rom?
Is there a better Rom?
Or can anybody help me with the safety net?
Thanks

Maybe try flashing latest version of magisk if you already hadn't?
I had resurrection remix for a day or two which is pretty similar ROM but I forgot if I had any problems with safetynet.

I have Magisk 16.0 installed and it says it is upto date.
Someone told me, it should be 16.1.

Mgisk 16 is the latest version as of today.
The only thing I can tell you is to download a bunch of top roms and try each one...
I'm using fulmics, which is based on stock rom and is outdated af, but SafetyNet is passing.

I just want to have everything run as its supposed to and be able to delete blot wear etc.
The stock Rom was OK, but I thought I'd give a custom Rom a go and see what it's all about.
The safetynet is the main problem I've found so far.

If you want a debloated stock based MM ROM, I recommend CleanROM, works great - fast, debloated, choice of kernel and which apps to install or not and more in aroma installer. Magisk is included.
About safetynet: as others have recommended, use magisk 16. Works with every ROM I tried, Fromm MM to O.
I'm on Lineage 15.1 now, with CleanROM as secondary via multirom (for the stock camera, but safetynet won't work on secondary). But the other Oreo ROMs work nicely, too.

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.

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.

Thanks, but my question was the inverse: I want to root, typically I did using TWRP and flashing magisk zip. I was guessing if Magisk supports Poco F5 already.

This method is not recommended due to A/B partitions and current TWRP development for A12/13.
And root for what?

I use root for two main purposes: ad blocker in hosts (as I also use VPN service, so I don't want to keep VPN busy with ad blocker) and removal of bloatware with magisk debloater.

Xiaomi.eu ROM for 12 Turbo / Poco F5 with root is great, because one can install among others ad-block apps such as AdAway and block all ads in apps (Youtube excluded). I rooted xiaomi.eu (via magisk and "boot.img") couple of days ago and it's working great. You're right, when you wouldn't recommend rooting via TWRP and flashing magisk.zip for the reasons you mentioned in post #4 above.

Have any of you tried installing viper4android magisk?
A lot of devices are being unable to install the old viper 4 android. I know there's a 64bit version now that usually works on devices that can't install the other one. It doesn't have all of the features it's missing headphones surround sound and gain increase. Which are the two best features of the whole vipers situation. So I want to purchase a Poco F5 or F5 pro. So I am wondering if viper is working?
You'll probably have to install magisk delta canary latest build because the new magisk v26.1 won't work with viper now either. It will work if you Install viper with magisk delta and then switch to magisk official v26.1.
Normally what you do is you install the busy box module, The James DSP 4.6 module, Selinux permissive module, audio modifications library 4.2 module and the viper for Android module finally. You don't have to use the James DSP but sometimes it corrects problems in the system to get viper to work. I'm not sure how much you guys are aware so I am trying to cover everything.
Pixel 6, 7 pro it won't work on. My tab S8 plus, S22 and S23 ultra it won't work on. Pixel 7 pro with AOSP roms make it work when those are available.

No, you need to root the phone first, then you can use it also on stock rom
