Hi all. Have come across a few threads which are indicating that 8.1 can be rooted by flashing supersu via OTG USB. Then the external are others who say it's not possible.
Does anyone know of circumstances where they or someone they've read about has successfully flashed supersu in this manner (OTG USB)?
I highly recommend using magisk as it has an easy universal installer and comes w much more features than SuperSU along with a module repo to add functionality to your device
SuperSU did a great job, but now it's kinda dead. Magisk has a lot more support and updates, also is more easy to manage/update. I really recommend Magisk.
I am able to easily get majisk to install but it won't work with a majority of the app I frequently used such as wifi-tetherAP, ti backup, and few others. The apps will install and root permissions are granted but apps don't work as they should.
Why do they not play nice w majisk?

They work fine for me. Do you also have the magisk manager app to actually allow the su prompts cuz I know a few times when I flashed magisk the app never showed up and I had to manually install it

You cannot root 8.1 with supersu. You have to use magisk. And Magisk works great.
Unfortunately chainfire has retired from the scene, at least for now, and there are obviously tensions with the new Chinese owners of supersu. Supersu is not being updated and the new owners are nowhere near as responsive to users as chainfire was. He's a big loss. And magisk has its own advantages. It's systemless, works reliable and great with 8.1 and is frequently updated. I would switch to magisk. Its the future when rooting your phone.

Thanks for the in depth explanation regarding chain fire, supersu, and the Chinese. Such a shame they got the privilege to assume such a legendary tool for Android and they don't have the decency to support it as it should be. Alas, all great things must come to an end. Looks like it's time to7 move along and embrace the future, as you said, and get on board w majisk.
My only issue w majisk is that several of my favorite apps, the most needed one being AP-tether w root, does not work properly w majisk. It will start but other devices can not "see" the network. I've made sure that it's not hidden.
At a loss to understand why majisk can't get this app to work like supersu did... Anyone have any thoughts?

Have you tried a clean install? Start all over with latest Feb factory image, full wipe, Inc data and then flashing twrp, magisk etc? Can't think of anything else. Magisk doesn't pass safety net so Google pay doesn't work, but give it time. Magisk is your only root option anyway on 8.1 whether you like it or not.

I found a solution for rooting my D801 running Android 5.0.2. I used KingRoot to gain root access and then Super-Sume Pro to remove KingRoot and install SuperSU. I have not installed TWRP because I am going to stay on stock. It was difficult to find a one-click solution so I hope this helps someone else.
Kingroot has worked for me, too. Nothing else worked, no matter what I did. But Kingroot works great! Thanks for posting.
I have tried Purple Drake, ioroot, StumpRoot, and LGOneClickRoot. None of these worked. I'm particularly chagrined over the ioroot failure because ioroot is listed in the Cyanomodgen installation instructions.
I have not tried Kingroot and am hopeful it's the answer to my prayers.
Could you please confirm your T-Mobile Lollipop software info with mine to make sure we're on the same page? Many thanks.
Android version: 5.0.2
Build number: LRX22G
Software version: D80130c
Woohoo, Kingroot does indeed root the phone. That's the good news.
Now for the bad news. Super-Sume Pro does NOT remove KingRoot v4.8.0 (latest version). I like having a rooted phone, but I don't like having Spyware running on it that chews up bandwidth. How do I get rid of this thing? Brute force delete of binaries?
UPDATE: I got rid of KingRoot via method 2 at https://www.droidmen.com/remove-replace-kingroot-kinguser-with-supersu/. Unfortunately although RootChecker claims the phone is rooted none of the apps that need root can find the su binary because the SuperSU installation failed. Effectively the phone is un-rooted since apps requiring root are inoperable. So back to square 1. It's a big steaming pile of you-know-what.
UPDATE: I retraced my steps and re-ran the shell script of method 2 above. This time it worked. Kingroot is gone, SuperSU 2.49 is installed, and the phone is rooted according to root checker. The phone seemed strangely unstable for a while, but seems to have settled into normal behavior. Don't know if that was a consequence of this procedure or is possibly a hardware problem (battery?). Will keep a close eye on it, but for now all the apps that need root have it. Contemplating the installation of TWRP via GooManager, but that's not a high priority right now.
If anyone reading this is a bloatware removal expert (especially with regard to LG & T-Mobile) I'd like to hear from you. Tools that I've seen mentioned in this regard are Titanium Backup, System App Remover, and Clean Master.
Guys, just followed nbi1's method and finally got this working! Thanks!

Did you by any chance install TWRP? If so, how did you unlock the bootloader? I'm looking for a pain free unlock. Held out hope for FreeGee, but despite claims to the contrary this app doesn't support many G2 variants such as mine, the D801 30c (T-Mobile).

Don't try it with Flashify. It'll destroy your recovery. Before trying any custom recovery make sure you have the stock kdz on hand so you can flash the stock recovery if need be.
UPDATE: I was able to flash the stock recovery.img. Of course that doesn't help as far as TWRP is concerned, but at least you wouldn't have a totally munged recovery on the phone.
UPDATE: Was able to successfully install TWRP using Autorec after figuring out that the SuperSU "Mount Namespace Separation" setting needs to be cleared/unchecked.

Thanks for the info. Did method 1 not work for you though?
So I finally tried to root my phone. Tried the LG One Click Root first and as posted here it did not work right. I have now SuperSU on the phone but I can't grant root to anything. Rootchecker shows no root. Now I tried Kingoroot and SuperSU asks to grant access but I can't confirm it. Looks like I have to first get rid of SuperSU? Stuck here not sure what I need to do the get rid of the butchered SuperSU install. Any tips?
Can someone point me to where I can get the AutoRec version that works on D801 Lollipop?

I was able to do the same using KingRoot-4.1.0.249-release-nolog-201505211812_105241.apk and Super-Sume-v9.1.9.apk
If KingRoot tells you "Unable to get root strategy" or "Failed to acquire cloud issued Root strategy", try to reboot once or twice before trying anything else!

Thanks below to member Ardrift for the link and info'
I have uploaded the files to google drive. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B9SW1On-CcCac09VTzd5TW5kcnc?usp=sharing First you have to install the apk, then you can download the zip from the app, or just flash the zip that I've included in the folder. It's the same as If you downloaded the latest miui version from the app.
Using the xposed links above, running on 8.2.1, with super su https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&r...kSiKyUIbkp6Is7kZQ&sig2=nDsK9Xa-mZPzLXoVrHAqcg
phones running sweet. I tried 2 newer super su though had issues with no mtp connection, though with super su 2.6.5..... working a charm, can confirm lucky patcher (latest version) so far has worked flawlessly, no bootloops or lags...
(post write up, found this rom juice hungry after a week or so, with xposed then went epic) must be xposed I thinking.
.
Using eur rom 8.1.3 (after trying global x 2 and epic)
Not using to many apps, phone set up to save battery, cpu on power save etc.
Again my phone battery life sucks big time, seem to spend ages to charge, and depletes in a day.
I have perhaps 10 or more xposed apps, which I like for mods, though feeling maybe miui not really suited to xposed as it's a modified xposed.
Thinking this is the cause of battery drain. Anyone members thinking the same?
I am not using magisk on this rom, though have used it, using the modified version with thanks, though thinking no thanks to using it and uninstalling and perhaps reflashing the rom, or trying another.
Thanks in advance for help re this. Sick of battery drain.
Had similar amount of xposed apps on J5 and battery was ok/good.
Is miui not good with xposed for battery? , Despite the fact it does work

As i told you before that do not use Xposed on This Device ? its draining the battery too fast. so what you have to do is that just install a new ROM from Start and then Root it Using Majisk, and then Greenify. you will enjoy the battery Life then.

How do you install Majisk if you already have root with SuperSU?Do you have to uninstall first SuperSU and install Majisk after?There isn't any good info about making the replacement.Also why Majisk is better than SuperSU and what is the difference?

Well if your device is already rooted then it's ok but why is it important to replace SU with Majisk. So because SU binary are out dated and if you update it, then you will loose the MTP connection with the PC. And only charging work. You cannot communicate with the your device through PC. If you want to go to Majisk over SU then just unroot from SU menu and the install Majisk and then download the latest binary and then reboot device to TWRP and flash the binary and you have done.

I already had the problem with mtp connection even without updating SuperSU.I solved that by adding some lines on build.prop but i don't like this solution.It's very strange that SU binary is outdated, what are these SuperSU updates do then?Anyway, thanks for the answer!

Many people are dropping SU due. To them being sold to a Chinese company that is not trusted. Same reason Xiaomi is still not liked by dev.

Only if you don't know what your doing. You must be smarter then the device you are trying to use.
This evening I installed the KingRoot app on my phone and ran it to try and root my phone. The first attempt failed. As I understood from reading the official website that it sometimes takes several attempts, I was not discouraged and attempted a second time.
However for over 90 minutes now, the progress indicator has been stuck on 33%. Should I continue waiting? Is it safe to quit out of the app and reboot my phone?
Thanks kind people!
Just to let anyone know who is reading this and either thinking of replying or who has the same problem. Mr Ak kindly replied to me via another thread to let me know it was safe to quit the app. I'm pleased to say that his advice was correct.
I would never root with kingroot. It is proprietary and its source is unknown. Unless you're OK with your phone becoming compromised by Chinese hackers, I would install a proven open source superuser like PHH's superuser here on xda. Just give it a quick Google search and all you have to do is flash the zip file in recovery to root your ROM and then install the PHH superuser app on fdroid or play store.

Thanks for your reply and sorry for the delay responding as I only just saw your reply today. KingRoot was recommended to me because I wanted to root without wiping any data, but I did already read about how it installs other stuff, so was already a bit concerned about that, but wrongly or rightly I decided to risk it. I will definitely look towards using a proven open source superuser such as PHH's when I get my next phone.
As for rooting my OPO, I'm assuming that rooting with PHH's superuser app will wipe my data - is that correct? (I tried googling and also searching here and on oneplus.net but couldn't find an answer to that)
Many Thanks ThunderThighs!

Rooting your phone should never wipe your data. The only thing that wipes your data is unlocking the bootloader, if you haven't done that yet. The only thing the phh superuser zip file touches is the boot.IMG on the /system partition. Nothing on your /data partition.
Edit: no problem! Glad to help point anyone in the right direction
dont use kingroot unless you want to use it for some tinkering without any critical user data.
plus i think its as you said "going nowhere" or at least taking you nowhere.
it is because it is designed to use some CPU bugs to obtain root, there simply is no known one for the OPOs CPU (as far as I am informed).
Thanks again ThunderThighs! I am definitely going to check out the PHH superuser app.
And thanks to you, Elchmartin, for the further insight!
OK, so, heres the situation, I got the new J3 Emerge (J327P) from Boost Mobile in effort to cut down cell costs and such. Its a decent phone but I am looking to root it. So I started looking up how to root it and such and came up with a pretty simple guide from google results. It is basically flash TWRP with ODIN then flash SuperSU from TWRP. Simple enough.
Now on my old phone I also had Xposed and loved it so I check and apparently you have to flash that in TWRP as well THEN install the APK? This is kinda where I start getting confused on things too. After looking through some other random pages online pertaining to rooting and xposed for this phone, some pages mentioned "system-less" root and xposed. Another page mentioned Magisk as well.
My question I guess really is which files are gonna give me the best end result of having (obviously) custom recovery, full root (with ability to, if needed disable at will), Xposed fully working (again, with the ability, if needed, to disable at will)?
Some links Ive come across but not read fully cause theyre simply too long.....

The best combinaison is :
- TWRP.
- Magisk v14 (it gives you a lot of possibilities including hiding root and pass safetynet).
- In Magisk Manager you can install Xposed module within it. (but it will trip your safetynet).
That's it
So if I got this straight I flash or install the following in this order?
twrp-3.1.0-1-j327p-14317
Magisk-v14.0(1400) (Which I see includes Magisk Manager 5.3.0?) (from inside TWRP)
Reboot
Open Magisk Manager and install Xposed from there? Or can I flash inside TWRP the wanam Xposed? Is that even needed?

the latest magisk can patch your boot.img. it will flash in odin with no problems. this is the alternative to using twrp. i do not own a j3 emerge but I own a J3 prime with device model SM-J327t1 which has a locked bootloader and is unrootable currently. hope this helped.
Hey everyone -
I have a Fire HD 10 (2017 model) that is successfully rooted with SuperSU. I am wondering if anyone has figured out how to gain root access with Magisk? All the tutorials I have found regarding the switch from SuperSU to Magisk involve flashing some zips in TWRP, which we can't do. Has anyone figured it out?
Ultimately, I'm trying to get DirecTV Now to work, but it doesn't play nicely with rooted devices. The Hide My Root app used to work, but it has stopped. If we can't get Magisk to work, I'd at least be happy if someone has advice on getting DirecTV Now working again!
I tried flashing Magisk 16.0 with 15.3 installer today and got stuck in bootloop. It flashed but would just boot to amazon logo over and over. Have a Ti Backup but it sucks. I'm sure there's a way through adb. I'm still learning. I wanna know the best way to flash any zip in general cause without FF TWRP or some other custom recovery im lost. I'm assuming you'd have to uninstall SuperSu anyhow. My 2 cents. Rebuilding new ROM now, I love spending hours doing the same thing ?. In hindsight I get better each time and find new hacks tricks etc.
You might be able to use tasker with a variation of the code in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/microsoft-intune-company-portal-t3611588/page12

Hide Rooting V1.7 is working for me. I rooted yesterday then realized Dtv now stopped working and had to scramble to fix it. So far that's the answer.

Sorry for any revival, but is that really possible? I don't really think so, because Magisk, is by definition Systemless, meaning that it doesn't affect the system in any way, but modifies the boot.img. And modifying the boot.img even a tiny bit results in a bootloop, because it fails signature verification. I would be glad to hear any ideas because when we manage to get our Amazon tablet rooted, I would prefer Magisk over anything as I always did, because it is open source and systemless.
Today I successfully rooted my HD8 2016 with SuperSu permanently. Install Magisk Manager but hesitate to install Magisk as afraid of boot loop. Is there any solution to "flash" audio mods zip files without Magisk or TWRP?

This is an unrelated question.

So far no. But don't worry. The HD 10 can be unlocked, it's just a matter of its done. Unfortunately, we don't have it easy. The HD 10 is built sorta convoluted. It's 64 but in some cases, 32 in the rest. Something's can't pick up on it. I have a thing or two I am working on. Unfortunately I am dead in the water PC wise until after 10 am. I need a new mouse. And I don't have a spare.
If anyone wants to help... mediatek uses their own fastboot executable, mtboot.exe. I still need to gather all the files to build it and or the binary (they aren't in the right places at all). But it would be nice if the mtboot.exe could be located somewhere on the web.
Also in the Amazon source code for the kernel, they left a potential honey pot. Datool, also known as fbtool. They left the module in their source, and I can't figure out why. In the source it lists some usb props, vendor and product IDs and lists three boot modes: unknown, brom, and preloader. It's also tied into sp flash tool somehow. When you compile the datool at the mediatek source, it will put the tablet into preloader mode. So prehaps it can also put it in brom. But if we can get datool to do a proper dump, we might be able to get SP flash tool working.
That's been my findings the past few days.
Now when I get a mouse, hopefully I will have the first test rom built today.

Sorry, this might be a stupid question. I am new to Magisk Manager.
Did you install both SuperSU and Magisk Manger on HD8 2016? Which one is managing the root access of APPs? How does it work?

The only thing we have available at the moment for flashing is flash fire, on the HD 10. I have magisk on a few devices. It's pretty cool once you get the hang of it. It's different and took me a while to get to the point of liking it. I think it will be amazing on the HD 10 because the hardware is great. I haven't tried it on my fire 7 yet. I don't have a rooted HD 8.

No, it's not. Same way many (arguably most) 64-bit devices behave in a 32/64 hybrid world. Someday 'everything' Android will be 64-bit or greater with 32-bit being religated to history - much 8/16-bit is today. Not there yet, especially on economy devices using older hardware. Amazon is not doing anything weird.

Only SuperSu manage the root access. Magisk manager without Magisk installed is only an app.

The SuperSu do the root management. Magisk manager is great on my phone, but it creates disaster on my HD 8 when testing the Magisk installing from the Manager. It made my HD8 boot loop at Amazon logo, no way to boot. I have to sideload the stock ROM then rooting again.

Wondering if your still looking into fbtool - I think your right about its potential in fixing bricks/installing roms. Got a link to the mtboot source still?
Brainstorming how to unbrick patched Fire 7's here:
Fire 7 (2019, mustang) unbrick, downgrade, unlock & root
Make sure to read this guide completely before starting. You will lose all data on the tablet, make a backup of important data before you start. What you need: - a Linux installation. Don't use a VM! Use a live USB, if you don't have Linux...

Currently thinking about fbtool and a custom lineage compile, with hacked secureboot, fastboot enabled lk.bin and a preloader which skips rpmb. Further info on mtk's fastboot implementation would be useful.
