I have a big problem. I put a password in an application, which I unfortunately forgot, and the information in that application is very important to me.
I heard that by accessing the root of the phone and a specific file, that password can be deleted. Do you have information about this. Please help me.

If the password is stored on the device itself, it "should" be in data/data/"name of app".
Yes, it requires either rooting the device or installing TWRP custom recovery. If you root the device, you won't need TWRP, you can simply use a file manager with root permissions to delete the file containing the password. If you install TWRP, you will not need to root the device, you can use the file manager that is built into TWRP to delete the file containing the password. Although you don't necessarily "have to" have both TWRP and root, most devices have to use TWRP to root the device, they require using TWRP to root the device but do not require root in order to install TWRP recovery. I hope that isn't confusing.
As for how to root your device or install TWRP, that depends on your specific device model. You will have to unlock your bootloader if it is not already unlocked or you will not be able to install TWRP or root. To find known methods to root your device or install TWRP on your device, do some Google searches for:
"How to root (your specific model number"
And
"TWRP for (your specific model number)"
If there are known methods for your device, those searches will find guides with instructions. If those searches don't find anything, you will have to try using the "Magisk root" method. There is a thread here at XDA for Magisk root and instructions.

I don't have any idea what file name the app used when it created the password file. You will have to figure that out for yourself. I'm not going to do ALL the work and ALL the thinking for you.

Is the app itself password protected with a default feature that is built into the app? Or did you use a feature that is built into your device's stock firmware or by using a 3rd party app?
Where the password is stored depends on which of these methods you used.
If you mean a password that the app requires you to input in order to sign in to an account or profile inside the app, then the password is probably not stored on your device, it is more likely stored in a server associated to the app.

No, this app is a cryptocurrency wallet that does not have a centralized server, and I think the password is embedded in the app itself. Someone who can delete the file containing the password by a special program requested a large amount for its delivery, which I could not

I dont think that if you install first supersu me and then kingroot your tab, after root turn wifi off and use supersu me, no data sent to anyone........ anyways it doesnt send your passowords etc to china, just like browser data and few app datas.... but theres no way to get passwords.... all are crypted or hidden well in smali

I wouldn't be sure about that. If you type in your password, once rooted, anything can easily capture the keyboard input and log it or send it out. Let me elaborate. It's like the guys who say, "Hey I have a firewall installed so it cannot communicate out." Yeah, o.k., so all the firewalls do is manage IPTABLES, so if I am an application and have root access, I can do what I want to avoid your firewall rules quite easily. Just a thought.
Hmm, updating the binary will remove the @#$%&* thing , we're just going to use the app to root our phone, and I guess wiping cache and dalvik is necessary
BTW tab 4 is best for gaming because of it looks and size but due to a stupid Samsung company, 1.2ghz + vivante gc1000 expect lagging, I hope some kind hearted will make a custom kernel for overclocking this tab.
BTW There's no Tex plugin on gltools, installing default will not work, so you have to find a cracked version of gltools, well if you do that... R.I.P expect force closes

Well i didnt say anything about firewalls i was daying if you manually disable wifi and use king root, it wont be able to connect anywhere to send any data.... also you can search by date and time files made during root session and remove everything to prevent any keyloger to work
Have ODIN and a stock image ready!!!
Be careful with this root process! The sm-t237p 5.1.1 OH7 boot loops and won't hold the root or Philz recovery... Yet!:cyclops:

No. I can easily change the file and date stamp to match any given system file you already have so that it is not easy to find. Also, Kingroot will not run correctly and root your device properly if it cannot contact it's servers to download the proper exploit for your device. Now, if you are talking about disabling wifi only so that Kingroot cannot contact it's servers after you are rooted, well, if you use any data what so ever, it can use that same data connection. As an example, I have to have data of some type to login to my bank site, etc..
SM-T237P Specific maybe others with PhilZ recovery...

Flashing recovery trips KNOX (no warranty or OTA updates) and the other method sometimes doesn't... Also, the recovery/zip method stopped working on lollipop and marshmallow with the older SuperSU builds but...

(not spamming in case anyone got the idea)
We use different apps to view our logged on wifi password.
Some of those sometimes don't work or sometimes you just don't want to install an app for solution.
Rooted and Non-rooted
Do you know where's your password get stored?
Here
Code:
root/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
So,If u already rooted your phone,u simply can navigate to there using a file explorer.
(Example : Root Xplorer,Mixplorer etc)
And open wpa_supplicant.conf.
If you are not rooted than you can use this ADB commands.
Code:
adb pull/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
C>:wpa_supplicant.conf
In most case,
OEMs don't give access to data folder without root.
For these people, I didn't see a solution.

Hi.
This is my first post, I hope i'm in the correct forum.
I have a friend whom I requested to Root, Flash TWRP and Install LineagOS and GAAP on my OnePlus One phone.
He successfully flashed TWRP and installed LineagOS & GAAP but could not root my OnePlus One using SuperSu. He mentioned permission issue trying to root.
He went back to his country, so I am stuck trying to root my phone.
I would like to root my LineagOS (formally OnePlus One) using SuperSU.
I have downloaded/copied the latest SuperSu zip file into the Phone Sd/Download folder.
I went into custom recovery (TWRP).
Click on the Install button and verified I can see my SuperSu zip file.
Since this is my first time performing a phone root, I did not click SuperSu zip to install, until some experts can assist. me.
Just a few (Q's).
Questions:
a) Should I run any preliminary steps prior to clicking install SuperSu.zip?
b) Since I have LineagOS, GAAP apps already installed, will they be wiped after rooting SuperSu. If (Yes), any software available to backup/restore LineagOS & GAAP prior to the root process?
c) My friend mention “Permission problems with OPO”. Are there some options to open OPO and allow rooting SuperSu?
BTW: I do have the adb & fastboot installed if I need to enter some commands to get this done.
Thanks.
Tom.
a) No.
Download flashable supersu zip and flash it from here and flash it via TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703
b) No.
But you can take nandroid backup through twrp in case something goes wrong.
c) As far as I know there is no problem with "permission" for rooting.
Happy flashing
Hi psxda97.
I did your requested instructions, but still not Rooted.
Here are the steps I did:
1) Downloaded the latest SuperSu zip from XDA and copied to Sd/Download folder on my phone.
2) Went into Custom Recovery TWRP) on my phone.
3) Click Install, selected SuperSu.zip Swipe bar to continue.
Completed 181 seconds did not see errors.
4) Wiped Dalvic & Cache. Reboot the Phone.
When phone restarted I went into Titanium backup apps to test if Root was successful. Received error msg from Titanium "Could not acquire root privileges. This app will not work Verify your Rom is rooted and try again"
Not sure if this makes a difference: in Developers Option I had root access ADP Only enabled & allow Unknown Sources set off.
Since this is the second time running SuperSu should I needed to wipe any files before rooting?
I'll await you reply.
Thanks.

I think I'm missing something. Did you tried any other method to root? I recommend a clean flash.
1. Download Sultanxda's unofficial lineageOS from here
2. Download Gapps from here. ( ARM-7.1-nano)
3.Download SuperSU from here
4. [Optional] take back up of your apps (No need to back up medias like photo,video,etc)
5.Got Recovery>wipe>advanced wipe
select system,data,cache and dalvik cache (DO NOT SELECT INTERNAL)
6.flash the zips you already downloaded in this order - ROM- Gapps - SuperSU
do not wipe anything after this step
7.Reboot
1st reboot will take some time (10-20 min ). Do not interrupt this process.
PS: I totally recommend Sultan's LineageOS over official LOS. You can actually feel the difference in smoothness and performance. Especially the Camera.
Feel free to check device specific forum for OnePlus One
Happy flashing!
@psxda97.
Thanks for the quick reply.
OK, I'm going to start from scratch as you requested.
When I try to download SuperSu (from your link above) located in Google Play, I get “supersu already installed for your device”.
Did not find SuperSu in Phone Apps settings.
Went into TWRP File Manager \ supersu folder. Deleted all (4) entries.
Rebooted.
Went back into TWRP. The 4 entries reappear.
Google Play continues to gray out my device name. SuperSu is already installed.
I do have a SuperSu zip file on my PC. I installed this on my last attempt. It appears to be the same as Google Play.
Here is the name:
“C:\Users\Tomx\Downloads\SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931.zip\”
Should I go with this?

Instructions completed successfully.
After setting up LineageOS and my Google acct I downloaded Titanium Backup.
Clicked on the app and received same error message stated in my previous post.
Is there another option/app to check if my phone is rooted?
I notice when I logoff from TWRP, I get this message displayed “Your device does not appear to be rooted Install SuperSU now This will root your device?“ There is a button to Install.
XDA put out a notice this is a bogus message and do not install.
“Sometimes, TWRP can’t detect that you already have SuperSU, so it’ll ask to flash its built-in version. But it’s almost always best to flash the latest version of SuperSU yourself “
In TWRP file manager\supersu folder contains 4 files.
99SuperSuDaemon, install-recovery.sh, su, Superuser.apk.
Are these the Built in version of supersu?
If you have other suggestions, let me know – Thanks for your help.

Can you send me a screenshot of supersu app?
I'm using the exact settings and I don't have any problem at all.
Do not let TWRP install supersu.
@psxda97
As you know the Supersu is a zip file. When I open/ then extract, the display will show folders & their contents.
I have attached all the folders & contents from supersu extract for your review.
To get a screenshot maybe you can walk me through this step.
The only way I can think of is to find & download the SuperSu apk file (for this version) onto my phone and open it to get a visual screenshot of the app.
Here is the website link where I downloaded SuperSu 2 days ago.

Edit : So you've no supersu app on you phone?
@psxda97
Maybe that's my problem. I do not have supersu on my phone application. (see my attached).
Here' what I do.
1. Download supersu zip file from website to my PC.
2. Connect PC to phone.
3. I do not extract the supersu.zip on my PC, I just manually copy the supersu.zip (as is) to Download folder (A0001) of my Phone.
4. Logoff off phone.
5. Get into TWRP. Click Install. Click supersu zip.
6. Reboot, when finish, run Titanium Backup on phone to check for root.
Should supersu app be on my phone after installation/rebooting?
Somehow it's not doing the root, even though it completes successfully in TWRP. Strange.

Yes.
Go to recover and flash it one more time
Then go to Advanced on twrp and select copy log (without kernel log).
Log will be on root folder of internal. attach the log in your next post
Also send me the screenshot of your about phone settings.

Go to system settings>developer options>root access and set it to "apps and adb"
If you flash the SuperSU.zip in TWRP on your device then you should have root.
I think you misunderstood from the beginning, did you download the SuperSU.zip and then extract it on PC and then try to install it? If so, that was completely the wrong thing to do. You might have to remove what you've done so far and then try again from a clean start, you might gave to flash your stock firmware to get a clean start.
Have you looked into whether you need normal SuperSU or whether you need systemless SuperSU?
I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE
Additional info provided - Anyone with advice.
@psxda97 - No problem about your availability time will put my post in advance reply for others to share their advice. I'm currently in Thailand for awhile, so your PM time is my AM.

No I never did an extract of the Supersu zip file. I just raised that as a "Should I".
I have attached screenshots of my About Phone & Developer Options for review.
I found only 1 Recovery log file at the Root. This has been attached.
Normal Supersu or Seamless. Not an expert on this, but the article (see below), implies if you flash supersu it will decide what method to use. I'd prefer seamless if this help. "https://www.howtogeek.com/249162/what-is-systemless-root-on-android-and-why-is-it-better/"
Just curious. What if I ran in this order Supersu, ROM, GAAP.
Would that make any difference?

The problem might be in the LineageOS ROM that you're using, I've seen others have this issue on other devices using LineageOS.
I don't recall what some of the solutions were.
@Sam Nakamura is pretty knowledgeable about the OnePlus devices, maybe he has some useful input.

Sorry, it's early in the morning here and I think I haven't been able to get the question yet...
First of all, lineageOS provides a own method of root, found here:
https://download.lineageos.org/extras
If you instead choose to use supersu the order must be -> rom, (custom kernel), supersu, (or rom, custom kernel, gapps, supersu but for gapps it doesn't matter when to flash them as long as it is in the same session and after the rom, supersu intendes to either patch the kernel (hence systemless) or to write in system (partition of the rom), that's why rom and custom kernel (if you choose to use a custom kernel) needs to be flashed before supersu...
The supersu systemless / system detection does not always work properly, in that case you can force supersu systemlessly by going to the terminal option in twrp before flashing supersu and type this:
"echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu" no quotes, type "false" instead of "true" in this line to force system mode...
If that doesn't solve your problems please elaborate on this again..

I haven't used LineageOS yet so I'm not familiar with its details, I was pretty sure you'd know though. [emoji106]

@Sam Nakamura.
Thanks for the info.
I have previously executed the steps in the order you posted. I was just asking if other sequences to flash these apps were plausible.
With the help of member psxda97, he documented similar steps 1-7 for me. (Please read Post #4 on this thread and my results in Post #7). It's basically a snapshot of what you posted regarding the order seq.
Unfortunately, my phone still did not root after applying the ROM, GAAP & Supersu in this order. I'm not sure why the root is declared successful in TWRP, and the phone remain un-rooted.
Do you suggest I rerun steps1-7 from Post#4 and include your echo statement before installing supersu?
The LineageOS extras, (you mentioned) has a built-in root.
I now have LineagOS from Sultanxda's installed on my phone. It is highly recommended by XDA members over the official LOS, for it's smoothness and camera enhancements. Sultanxda' release is 06/25/2017.
LOS extras has a release date of 06/21/2017. My only issues, whether to choose LOS extras. I will subsequently get the next “Official” LOS release for 6/25 and loose LOS Sultanxda installation.
Tom.
Tried Installing LOS extras 14.1
@Sam Nakamura
I downloaded LOS extras from the link you provided.
Went into TWRP
Did the Install
Then rebooted.
Went back to phone\Developers Option
Root Access is still grayed out.
See screenshot attached.
Any suggestions?
Should I just do a TWRP factory reset and start over?
Tom.

Did you choose the correct arm(32) version of lineageOS su? I'd try the following:
Backup all partitions with twrp so you can return to your set-up later on..
Wipe everything except internal storage
Flash rom, (custom kernel), gapps and su
Boot up and check if it's working now
If not restore your backup and check next point
Alternatively:
Have you tried superSU with forced systemless via twrp terminal (by the way, if done correctly there shouldn't fallow a output with this command line..)
Flash supersu from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
I never had issues with the beta but you can also use the stable version, downloads on post 1
Using Magisk as root and root management tool
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Flashable zip via twrp, if successful go to magisk settings, and check superuser and read the rest of Magisk's potential on the linked thread, my preferred method as it allows you to hide root from certain apps which deny service to rooted devices..
Important, it's not a good idea to flash lineageOS su, then supersu, then magisk after each fails, at least restore your clean boot partition from twrp or flash the boot.img from within your rom zip... Best would be clean of course - but as you have a backup of your previous system you can play around and make errors...

Hello, if anyone could help me with this, I've tried to find firmware for this phone I've read in another thread it's from ZTE but no luck in their website, I want to root or update the firmware if anyone could help, currently the phone is freaking out not working properly. It's from Altice MEO and the name is StarAddict 6.
hello you can easily root your starradict 6 by the app named "KingRoot".
its safe and easy ,the app have his proper's root permissions manager's(exactly like super su) ,and works fine.You can also unroot your device by the KingRoot app too;(if you want to unroot definitively ,factory reset your device is hughly recommended)
For the firmware ,its more hard ,its need to use the DFU mode.
But for now i cant help you for where found the firmware.
one good solution is to make a dump of your firmware,its look like a backup in recovery,for mmake this im sure you can easily find how to make this on xda or google.
im looking for the firmware too ,if i found how and where to download it ,i post here for the starraddict community users.
friendly
I found the firmware boys

Found the password. I looked up the file name on google and it lead me to firmware247 which had the password there. (It's https://firmware247.com).
How to unbrick:
Get any SDCard on your PC and paste the l730.v1 folder inside the root of the sdcard.
Put it back on the phone.
While pressing both Vol +, Vol - press Power Button.
This will put you into the "recovery mode" (if you can call it that...) which will read the files and install them
If you've reached this far hopefully your phone is working again
ROOT with Magisk:
Download and install Dr. Fone root tool (make sure it's the root tool and not the management/backup tool)
Go into phone developer settings and enable OEM Unlocker and USB debugging
Root the phone with Dr. Fone root tool (it will ask to install supersu, accept it)
When you open supersu, DO NOT UPDATE THE BINARIES, or you will go into bootloop (happened to me at least)
Install magisk manager apk
Open magisk so you get the prompt to allow on it supersu
Restart magisk and super su app (for some reason some options don't appear on magisk if you don't do this)
Download and install (patch) magisk to directly.
Reboot as prompted by the tool.
Open supersu and go into options.
Select delete supersu and remove "root" (you will need to allow supersu root permissions on magisk)
That's it, you now have your phone rooted with magisk.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to find a way to fix safety net, please let me know if you do. (CTS Profile is flagged)
Edit: Organized the post and added small guide.

To remove only the password will require either rooting the device or installing TWRP custom recovery or possibly both.
Do a Google search for:
"TWRP for (your specific model number)"
And
"How to root (your specific model number)"
If known methods exist for your model number, those searches should find guides to root and/or install TWRP custom recovery.
Then you need to do some searches to identify the name of the file and the location of the file where the device stores the password then use a file manager with root permissions to navigate to the file's location and delete the file or boot into TWRP recovery and use the built-in file manager inside TWRP to navigate to the file's location and delete the file.
Or you can factory reset the device. If the forgotten password is the password to the device's Google account, factory resetting the device will trigger FRP lock which rewuire entering the information for the Google account that was on the device. If you trigger FRP lock, you will have to search for a method to bypass FRP lock on your specific device model number.
