Hi guys android newbie here! My friend rooted my Nexus 5 and it was working fine for a couple of weeks. Yesterday I tried to open SuperSU and it didn't work! Other apps that required root didn't work either.
I have been looking around and it seems OTA updates may have screwed up my root. Every time I try to open SuperSU it says: "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!" If you just upgraded to Android 4.3 (I have 4.4), you need to manual re-root. Consult the relevant forums for your device!" I have used root checker by joeykrim and it says "Sorry! this device does not have proper root access" (to confirm my root is busted).
My question is, is there any way to fix this without re-rooting? If I have to re-root, can I just directly re-root it again using something like Wugs rootkit?
Thank you very much in advance!
Just flash the newest version of supersu and you'll be good to go..... http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip
go to the play store, find supersu, install/update it, open tbe app and update your binaries.

I've tried to insyall /uninstall, wiping the cache and data with no luck. Right when I open the app the supersu binary problem comes up and I can't even get into it!

I can install/update to v1.8! I just can't open it. Gives me a "SU binary not installed" when I do!
Did you install/update from the playstore or flashed the new update?

Sorry if this is a stupid question .. but how/ do I flash this or what program do i use?
My friend helped me root it so i have no idea on how to do this @@ Very sorry.
Hmmm... from the link I posted in one of my last post, you can just use a useful app called "flashify" and flash it that way (the easiest way) but you need that file that is in the link obviously to do so haha. So afterwards when in flashify you'll get 3 simple options, boot image, recovery image, and zip file. choose zip file, go into your downloads folder from the file explorer from the app (which it should be there if you downloaded it off your phone) and let the app do the rest

Ok so I can't open flashify either. It also says I have lost root access and my superuser is busted. I have attached a screenshot!

Of course, you don't have root access, silly me lol Well guess we'll have to do it the hard way (it's not really that complicated) ok read carefully. Power off your phone, afterward hold the power and volume down buttons which should get you into the bootloader, cycle trough the options with the volume buttons and when you see recovery mode select it with the power button, now depending on which Recovery you have you'll have to choose the option that says install or install from sd card, again, depending on which one you have this will be slightly different. After doing i believe the paths will be the same, chose 0/ then look for the download/ folder which you should have that supersu.zip file, if you're using twrp recover it should be touch screen and you simply select it and swipe to install, if you're using cwm (which i do) you'' have to scroll with the volume buttons and select the file with the power button to install. I hope I was as clear as i could be, good luck
after going into recovery mode, there is just a android robot with his chest open and an exclamation mark! can't proceed after that.
Ouhhh you don't have a recovery then, do you have adb or any kind of toolkit?
I have wugs toolkit. but every time i try to do anything at all on it. It says ADB device not found? That seems to be preventing me from doing anything as well.
Do you have the adb drivers installed or/and usb debug turned on in developer settings?
how/where do i install adb drivers? I have not done so, and i doubt my friend did it when he rooted.
I do turn on usb debugging when i tried to unroot/root on wugs toolkit
In wugs toolkit it has a walk-through on how to do so, i suggest you use the RAW drivers option
I must be blind to not have seen this before. Thank you very much for your help I'll let you know how it goes!
As you may know, Google has remove App Ops on Android 4.4.2. This app helps you to bring it back
Root device only for now
What is App Ops
App Ops is an activity, within the Settings app, that allows users to enable or disable operations on a per-app basis. These operations cover many common scenarios identified by permissions (e.g., read contacts, write contacts, access location), though it is not a pure one-to-one mapping.
Operations blocked by App Ops are inaccessible by the affected app, though that may vary by device.
Toggle-able permissions
- Access notifications
- Alarm volume
- Audio focus
- Bluetooth volume
- Call phone
- Camera
- Draw on top
- Keep awake
- Location
- Master volume
- Media buttons
- Media volume
- Modify calendar
- Modify call log
- Modify clipboard
- Modify contacts
- Modify settings
- Notification volume
- Play audio
- Post notification
- Read calendar
- Read call log
- Read clipboard
- Read contacts
- Read SMS/MMS
- Receive SMS/MMS
- Record audio
- Ring volume
- Send SMS/MMS
- Vibrate
- Voice volume
- Write SMS/MMS

It's weird that this thread has no activity.. it's a proper mod tbh.
After clicking to "Install AppOps Root", the device reboots, but nothing seems to change. Starting the Installer again still shows the same message: "Click to install AppOps Root..."
If I click "Launch Stock App Ops", I see Settings that promptly closes.
I am rooted and running a 4.4.2 ROM.
What am I missing?
App is working great. But can you please change the Icon in the drawer? It is really hard to see with this dark grey color

Not for me.
I have run through installation twice and didn't see any errors.
I just got prompted to d/l new firmware for my note 3 today. and after hearing they took this out. I declined it! keeping an eye on this, hopefully there will be a way to bring this back for non rooted devices. as my phone is only 2 months old. and I wana wait 4-6 months to make sure its not faulty B4 I go rooting it. plus there arent enough stable ROMS for note 3 anyway. I like Wanam as its stock ish without bloat. so waiting for wanam!
Reboot after install
Im using CM11.0 and the phone reboots after I click "Install AppOps Root" but seems to work fine with the "Lauch Stock AppOps" option.
Good job. Thank you.
Works great for me running Stock 4.4.2 on Nexus 5.

thanks developer
Awesome. I was looking for something like this.

It only installs one apk in /system/priv-app/
If you are rooted and have titanium backup or other toolbox you can easily uninstall it (titanium can uninstall system apps); second easiest option is to use ES File Explorer or other root file manager; other ways include adb shell commands (mount / rm), and finally another method that actually doesn't require root is via custom recovery that has a builtin file manager like twrp does... you would mount /system and delete the apk from /system/priv-app

Thanks have titanium backup installed, will just use that if I want to uninstall, good to know for other root apps that I might use in the future

How does this compare to the likes of XPrivacy. It appears this completely denies the permission which would cause certain apps to crash vs providing random false data.

XPrivacy is way more powerful and allows you to revoke many more permissions, but App Ops although limited, works quite well. You cannot remove network access with it, but I removed location, contacts, vibrate, camera, from some apps, and none crashed so far. I've been using App Ops since it was introduced in Jelly Bean, and still do in KitKat.

If it works, you should see a new app named "App Ops [Root]" in your app drawer. Anyway, which is your ROM?
OK I think I have a fairly foolproof method since I got root and Google Apps.
1. Download this automatic driver installer from adbdriver .com
2. Plug in the tablet via the USB cable (with debugging and unknown sources on) and open the automated installer
3. Select PMID920 and install the drivers
4. Download Kingo root
5. Then transfer an apk of root explorer, supersu, and copy the system folder of Jelly Bean 130812-13 GAPPs onto the tablet
6. Install supersu and root explorer using the built in Explorer app
7. Now go on kingo and click root again.
8. Open SuperSU and install binaries.
9. Open root explorer and allow root then go to / directory and set to R/W
10. This is where I and others got stuck. Go to sdcard and find the system folder you copied and open it
11. Use root explorer's multi-select feature to select the folder in system and copy them to your system folder
12. Reboot and it should work if it did great
13. If not you'll have to do what I did which is check the folders in system and you may notice they look like this /system/app then another app folder in there with the files
14. Manually go into all of the folders and delete any duplicate folder i.e if you open the lib folder and see another lib folder delete it and so on
15. Go to your SD card and use multi-select with select all and carefully copy all the files to the corresponding system directories then verify they all are correctly copied with none in the wrong place or missing (yes this does suck )
16. Reboot and you should be prompted to sign into google. Enjoy
Realize I am not responsible for any screwed up tablets and recommend you do this on Win 7 like I did. Also I cant post links yet.

HI, so i am working on getting this very Polaroid tablet to work with the aid of your direction and i have gotten as far as step 5. sort of.. when i use Kingo root i continuously tells me that my device is unstable. debugging mode is activated and so is the installation of from unknown sources... have i missed something? i would really love to have google play services on this tablet but this is becoming rather annoying being defied by such a tablet... please help.
Hmm if it is a driver issue due to some error in installing the drivers then go to device manager and uninstall the device and check the box. Then try to install the drivers I will add to the main post (not mine) you will have to install them without a signature. Also what os, cable, and kingo root are you using.
Lets start with saying that im pretty uber noob at this so idk what os im using. or what os is... cable is a usb micro the only cable that goes into the pmid920. as far as kingo root, i went to kingoapp.com and clicked into download, and that was it, downloaded the package and tried to use it..
Try the new drivers
An Operating System is like Windows, Macintosh, Ubuntu etc. Did you try the new drivers Just uninstall the old drivers by right clicking on the device and check the uninstall driver box. Then unplug and replug the cable then chose own drivers and go to the extracted folder I put in the main post.
ok so maybe im a little smarter than i had thought... im doing the work on the tablet with a windows 7 laptop because during the first couple steps my windows 8 laptop was not compatable. however, i have uninstalled the drivers and then put in the drivers from the zip file you linked in, however now kingo root is telling me that the connection is unstable.. what do now? also im really sorry for having to bug you about this alot. seems rather annoying
Hello! I am stuck on step 8. When I open SuperSU, it says "The SU binary need to be updated. Continue?". I hit continue.
Then it asks "If you have a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM, that can be used to (try to) install the SU binary. This is recommended for HTC devices. How would you like to install the SU binary?" Normal or TWRP/CWM. I hit Normal.
Then it says "Installation failed !" and closes the app.
I am using SuperSU version 1.69.
Please help with this part.
Thanks.
Alright for the su binary I forgot but I think you have to click unroot reboot then root it again using kingo root. As far as the unstable connection error I have read and it may be some type of bug with kingo. Remember windows 7 and try both sets of drivers.
i did try the sets of drivers. With the first set when i used kingo root it told me that the device its self was unstable, and then when i tried the 2nd set it was able to accept the device but not the conection, it would tell me that the connection was unstable, and using several different ports on the laptop (windows 7) it would still say the connection was unstable.. do you know of another good rooting tool that would allow me to use either windows 7 or 8?
Well...
I'm sorry but this is as far as my knowledge extends.

I was able to get it to root and install gapps! I'm not sure exactly why it worked though. First SuperSU was updated and then I tried Kingo root again but this time I mounted the sd card on the tablet first. Then after it rebooted, I was able to get R/W access to the root folder and transfer all the new files over. After a nail-biteingly long reboot, it had me sing in to google and now I have google play and can sign in to youtube. So I am not sure it worked because of the updated SuperSU or mounting the SD card first the made the difference. But thanks all the same Beutrocks! You're awesome!:good:
system folder size limit
Has anyone gotten a problem with the amount of space allowed in root/system? Everything up until you have to copy the gapps system folder over worked for me, but when trying to copy over the gapps system folder, explorer says there is not enough room. The space available is a couple MB and obviously the gapps system folder is about 150 MB. Has anyone else had this issue, or know how to readjust the size that root/system allows? I'm new to rooting.
The GAPPs I got was 100-120

Try to make sure that folderception didn't occur; It happened to me and yes I was mad. You can check by going to /system/apps and if there is another apps folder delete it. Do this for all of the folders that copied wrong for example /system/libs/libs. Then manually recopy all of the files.
Can you clarify?

1. Download driver - to laptop I assume?
2. Open the automated installer - on the laptop or on the tablet?
3. Select PMID920 - From where? It doesn't come up anywhere.
4. Download Kingo root from where and to where? On the laptop or on the tablet?
5. Transfer an apk of root explorer - from where to where
6. Install supersu... - how, where?
7. Go on Kingo - Where? Web, laptop, tablet?
8. Open Supesu - How? Where?
Please clarify exactly how this can be done for us neophytes.
Fantastic. Thanks beutrocks. Step 14 is what had me hung up. I am up and running now on my friend's tablet. Awesome!
You download then install the drivers then pmid920 should show up. If on windows 8 you must boot into unsigned driver mode.

Hey so I'm thinking about biting the bullet to finally trying to root & update this pmid920 to google play. But I guess I'm a little worried as this fellow messed his up & couldn't put stock fw back on it. http://www.FreakTab.com/showthread.php?t=11960 or if I just wanted to keep it simple should I just root & sideload apps to it? Or what do u think this fellow did wrong to totally mess it up? I just wanna keep it simple to let kids have some games on it & me to bs on it n such. Thanks in advance Ron.

Hey bud so I hope u had a great holiday & I just wanted to let u know that I did manage to root & get google play following this XDA post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588991 but I used a apk app called iroot to root device. It installed & I opened app then made one click & I was rooted. The only thing is that it installed some Chinese version of super user & in order to get the regular SuperSU app to work that I downloaded I had to unroot reboot & rwroot. Weird but it worked. But now I'm wondering since there is no development or filmware available for this thing is it possible to install twrp or cwm or even philz touch recovery on this & maybe even tweek it? Well thanks in advance & have a great day!
I have a G930F and installed TWRP + rooted with no issues. I can run rooted apps off of it as well like Titanium, Greenify, CF.Lumen, etc...
Although when I try the Root Explorer in ES File Manager, it keeps on telling me "Sorry test failed. This feature cannot run on your device". It doesn't look like it's even asking for root permissions. I tried different combinations of installing/uninstalling/rebooting and they don't seem to help. Any thoughts on what to do next?
Or if this is unfixable, any suggestions on what other file manager to use? Features I'm looking for include:
- Standard search/sort/filter/copy/cut/paste/delete
- Root Explorer
- FTP/SFTP support
- Configurable shortcuts/favorites
Thanks
Edit:
For anyone with the same issue, here's the answer:

I had the same problem I ended up just installing Root Explorer, too bad because I paid for ES File Explorer Pro too. If you figure it out let me knwo
I'd suggest solid explorer, very similar to es explorer but none of the app scanning and permissions crap that's recently been introduced in es.
Or just thinking out loud, would it be possible to add it to SuperSU's list without it requesting for access?

I used to have an HTC M7 with the ARHD rom, and the rom came with it by default so I got used to it. I have to admit that there are some things I wish it would do that it doesn't. But I would say about 90% of what I need is available there.
But since I am starting fresh with a new phone, I'm open to suggestions if you have another root file explorer in mind. Pretty much the only thing outside of the standard functions that I need is sftp support, so I can copy/paste files to/from my mac.

But since I am starting fresh with a new phone, I'm open to suggestions if you have another root file explorer in mind. Pretty much the only thing outside of the standard functions that I need is sftp support, so I can copy/paste files to/from my mac.

Amaze or Solid Explorer is good. ES used to be good but it turned the way of Cheetah Mobile apps and started adding useless **** to their app.

If you google ES file explorer apk old version theres a website that has every ES file explorer apk from day 1. when the version changed to 4.X.X is when they added all the useless crap and adds.

lol yeah all of those sd card analysis and home page and stuff that I don't even use. I tried Solid Explorer, that thing looks nice. no extra fluff and just has what I'm looking for for a file manager
Do you guys know of any other file managers that allows for editing the DateModified? I know Total Commander has one, but I'm not digging their interface.

I have a G930F and installed TWRP + rooted with no issues. I can run rooted apps off of it as well like Titanium, Greenify, CF.Lumen, etc...
Although when I try the Root Explorer in ES File Manager, it keeps on telling me "Sorry test failed. This feature cannot run on your device". It doesn't look like it's even asking for root permissions. I tried different combinations of installing/uninstalling/rebooting and they don't seem to help. Any thoughts on what to do next?
Or if this is unfixable, any suggestions on what other file manager to use? Features I'm looking for include:
- Standard search/sort/filter/copy/cut/paste/delete
- Root Explorer
- FTP/SFTP support
- Configurable shortcuts/favorites
Thanks

Nice! I was having the exact same prob on Solid Explorer
Hello
I purchased the App Fake GPS Location Spoofer Pro and want to move it to \System\priv-app\. (As suggested in the app)
what i have tryed so far:
1. Installing the app frome play store.
used Root Explorer to move Base.apk from data\app\com.incorporateapps.fakegps\ to system\priv-app and deleted the old folder in data\app
after rebooting, the apk is not in system\priv-app anymore also the installed icon is gone
2. tryed to install the app with (Mod Edit: reference to warez removed) as system app. but after reboot, no installed app. (i used the base.apk which i moved to sd-card, to install)
My Device:
HTC One M7
Android 5.0.2
H-Boot 1.61 S-On but unlocked Bootloader over HTC Dev
do i need s-off for it? And if yes, is there an other way then sunshine?
i hope you can help me.
thanks

Once you move the app to system/priv-app reboot your device, it will disappear from the apps catalog (because now it's a system app).
Then browse with any root browser to the installation path I remember something like system/priv-app/com. .... there is a base.apk select ans REINSTALL the base.apk, it will prompt to UPDATE the app, allow it and reboot again, Tada you will see the app with system permission.
It took me a while to figure out the process, hope it helps.

1. Install it as normal apk.
2. Using any root explorer copy that app's folder from data/apps and paste into your priv-app (don't cut or move that folder, only copy). Then Reboot.
3. Now after reboot, go to settings and open installed apps. See if that app is there or not. If not then seleect "show system apps" option.
4. After finding that app. tap on it and select uninstall updates (or disable option if you can't find uninstall updates option there).
5. It will prompt you to replace with the factory version of that app. After selecting option "replace with factory version" enable the app again if you've disabled it. Then Finally reboot.
Done!

As I dai, don't "put" in system/app or priv/app. you have to copy the folder from data/app.
i think with disappearing he means that the icon is no longer on the android user-surface.
same problem here. even if i copy the whole folder into system/priv-app and dont erase it in data/app i can only uninstall the app normally (and then its no longer listed in apps, even though there is the copy of the folder in system/priv-app).
there is no option like "uninstall updates" or "replace with factory version". there is simply the button "uninstall" like with every other non-system-app.
Here's what I had to do on my Note 5 through t-mobile running Nougat with the March update. I rooted with Magisk and I used ES file Explorer to move, not copy because i guess that confused the app on which path to load from and breaks. After moving I needed to change the permissions to rx-r-r, which I did for both the base.apk and the app folder as well then rebooted just to make sure the changes stuck, but I used a different joystick. I used GPS JoyStick by the app ninjas which once in system mode can disable the gps and eliminate rubberband and has a lot more features than the other joysticks.

I'm having similar issues. All the posted solutions do not work for me. I've tried the xml permissions modifications as well that are on the apps home page and that does not work either. The system option is still greyed out for me. I have the app installed to system/priv-app as suggested and it opens and shows on my launcher just fine but the application itself will not detect that it's installed to system. Oreo 8.0.0 with magisk root. Please if anyone has something to try let me know. I've been searching for and trying solutions for over 5 hours now. I can't use mock locations because the application refuses to work with that enabled and the system ability to spoof gps is my only option

I am now running into the same problem, cannot "Enable System Mode" with the app. Using a browser I noticed that the folder for the cloned app version is different than the app that I named it; "com.tgmqqhposmr.xacn....."
Is this normal?

To answer my own question and others that may share the same question, yes, the randomly named app folder is correct when compared to working versions on android 8.0.
Also, the app is supposed to be located in the priv-app/ directory.
The problem in the additional steps posted by gps joystick's faq, specifically #4:
Additional Steps for Android Oreo (8.0) Users:
These are user submitted steps, so your mileage may vary.
1. Put GPS Joystick in “root/system_root/system/priv-app” and make sure file permissions are set to 0644
2. Create a text file called “privapp-permissions-com.theappninjas.gpsjoystick.xml”
and paste this into it:
<privapp-permissions package=”com.theappninjas.gpsjoystick”>
<permission name=”android.permission.INTERNET”/>
<permission name=”android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE”/>
<permission name=”android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION”/>
<permission name=”android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION”/>
<permission name=”android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS”/>
<permission name=”android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION”/>
<permission name=”android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW”/>
<permission name=”android.permission.INSTALL_LOCATION_PROVIDER”/>
<permission name=”android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS”/>
<permission name=”android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS”/>
<permission name=”android.permission.CHANGE_COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE”/>
<permission name=”com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES”/>
<permission name=”com.android.vending.BILLING”/>
<permission name=”android.permission.WAKE_LOCK”/>
<permission name=”com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE”/>
<permission name=”com.theappninjas.gpsjoystick.permission.C2D_MESSAGE”/>
</privapp-permissions>
3. Place the file at “root/system_root/system/etc/permissions/” and make sure permissions are set to 0644
4. Edit the file “root/system_root/system/etc/permissions/privapp-permissions-marlin.xml”
5. Add the same XML from Step 2 between the <permissions></permissions> tags and make sure permissions are set to 0644
6. Restart the device and confirm that the Enable System Mode is enabled in GPS JoyStick Settings.
Number 4 references an xml named marlin that belongs to the Pixel 1 XL. My phone, and others I suspect, does not have this file. I looked for a Taimen (Pixel 2XL) file but no luck.
Any ideas?
This last method FINALLY solved it for me on my Nexus 6P running Oreo. You only have to change "com.theappninjas.gpsjoystick" with the package name of the cloned app, something like "com.mksacniw.apoerslnose" (this is just an example). Follow the instructions carefully and rememeber to change the permissions of both files to rw-r--r-- (this is VERY IMPORTANT).

perfect works fine
None of the above worked for me (pixel on 8.0), what finally worked was the app systemizer terminal module in magisk, then installed turmex, ran these 5 commands and rebooted
1. su
2. systemize
3. (choice 1)
4.(the number of the app to systemize)
5. (The option for priv-app)
