Unrooted my android tab (Lenovo A7600-F running RR 5.8.5 Android 7.1.2 ) but still fails root detection - General Questions and Answers

I recently installed Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 Custom Rom by @SaberShip based on Android 7.1.2 which came with root access enabled and supersu installed by default. So I tried to unroot by flashing unsu.zip by @osm0sis through twrp recovery. After that I checked using Root Beer Sample app but my device was still showing up as rooted. It fails the dangerous build.prop and selinux flag tests. I need to unroot for using an education app which doesn't run on rooted devices.

To check whether Android is rooted or not people do it themselves via ADB
Code:
adb devices
adb shell "which 'su'"
If a path containg "su" is returned, Android is rooted, otherwise it's not.
To get rid off of root simply re-flash device's Stock ROM.

It didn't return with anything. The stock rom is Android 4.4 based and the app which I need to run needs android 7 atleast. That's why I flashed a custom rom based on Android 7, unfortunately which came with root enabled. Now I can't get rid of it completely and the app which I need to run says my device is still rooted.

[Q] Rooting the H60-L02 with EMUI 3.0

Hey there,
I just received a H60-L02 shipped from Mainland China. Being on OS X, I had no trouble installing adb and unlocking the boot loader.
There is something I don't understand though : to gain root access on my phone, I need to install a modified ROM of Huawei's android upper layer ? Why is that so ? Do I need to find a ClockWordMod H60-L02 EMUI 3.0 Rom to root my H6 ?

Thanks, but I can't do that, insofar as I can't run .exe on OS X. Also, I'm trying to understand the basic concepts of rooting on android, in order not to **** things up by doing things I would do on other linux distribs. From what I get, rooting is installing a modified ROM in which everyone is a superuser ?

rooting is getting superuser access to any rom, if you take a look at the batch file, there is a link where you can download twrp, put it in the same directory where fastboot and adb files are
Code:
adb kill-server
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_2.8.0.1_h60.img
fastboot reboot
adb wait-for-device
adb reboot recovery
fastboot devices
Ok it works. From what I get, twrp is a manager that enables you, once the boot loader is unlocked, to flash whatever you want on your android system. So you flash SuperSu, and it is done.
Thanks a lot for your help and explanations !:good::good::good:

Root - Moto G3 Osprey - LineageOS su (arm)

Hi guys, how are you?
Is it possible to access the root by installing LineageOS (su arm) in Android Stock 6.0.1?
Thank you
not as far as I know.
theoretically, yes but stock rom does not have that particular root interface to detect and act like rooted after flashing LOS su. that's built into the LOS. so no. you need to flash supersu or magisk or anything of your choice that comes with it's own root interface.

Will it cause any problem if I grant permission through ADB shell? Will I get OTA upd

Will it cause any problem if I grant permission through ADB shell? Will I get OTA updates? And if so, will flashing OTA update cause any problem?

If your device is rooted, you can't use OTA update. OTA update requires having stock recovery and an unmodified system partition, meaning, no root, no Xposed, nothing of any kind that modifies your system partition in any way other than what it is supposed to have.
Applying OTA updates on a rooted device causes the device to be softbricked(or hardbricked in some cases), then the device has to be recovered and reflashed with your stock firmware to repair the device.

Root not installed properly, how do i fix this?

I tried rooting my SM-G955F Android 9 with Odin and the root checker said Sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device, how do I fix this? Get it back to unrooted or rooted, doesn't matter as long as it works. Thanks.

can you give some deets about how you got to where you are with the root status? i assume you flashed twrp and then installed magisk via twrp itself, correct?
Device not rooted properly

[Q] Help with rooting Infinix Hot 11s

Heya!
I was wondering if there are any existing tools or information about rooting Infinix Hot 11s? I've tried searching for anything related to it and I've seen a couple of threads with information about rooting old Infinix phones here, but to my understanding there isn't one related to this particular model.
It's powered by a Helio G88 processor and the operating system is a modified Android build called XOS. Full phone specs are here for anyone curious.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Rooting Android means installing a ~100KB piece of software ( SU-binary ) on it.
So either push a matching SU-binary onto Android filesystem or replace the pre-installed ( restricted ) version of Toybox with a matching unrestricted one, wil say with one that has SU-cmdlet incorporated.

Hi, thanks for the response!
I understand, but how would I go about doing that with this particular phone? Because to my understanding, I need TWRP, I haven't found a TWRP version for my phone and I fear using a TWRP build from other phones or older Infinix phone models might brick it. If ever I have to port TWRP, is there some sort of guide for me to follow so I can try making a build of TWRP that works with this?
Thanks!
To add a suitable SU-binary to Android's filesystem TWRP in NO case is needed: you do it via ADB.
Example:
Code:
adb devices
adb push <LOCATION_OF_SUITABLE_SU_BINARY_ON_PC> /data/local/tmp/
adb shell "chmod +x /data/local/tmp/su"
I recently bought this phone and is looking for a way to root it safely as i want to remove bloatware and use some apps that need root (like screenrecording without microphone and just internal audio, i heard that needs the magisk module?)
is there a way to root it preferably without a pc and i dont want to wipe my data unless really necessary, i have also unlocked the oem bootloader from dev options as this phone uses a custom version of android 10 (xos dolphin 7.0), processor is mediatek helios something as far as i know, just for reference

Hey! I tried following what you said, but unfortunately it did not work. I found a thread with instructions quite similar to what you posted: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/universal-guide-root-any-android-device-manually.2684210/
The original poster said that this method no longer works. Is this true?

Heya! We're currently on the same boat, unfortunately there isn't one sure method of rooting this phone at the moment.

the 2 lines of code shown above by me always worked for me, at any Android version - at least up to Android 10, and should work on Android 11, too
also do any of you have links to the stock rom for infinix hot 11s nfc? I bricked my phone trying to install the wrong twrp for this phone. Thanks.
So, any luck in rooting Hot 11s? This xos skin is driving me nuts. Always closing background processes, and sometimes even foreground process. We desperately need a twrp for this device.
Here is how to do it
Download your phone's latest firmware (the one you are running ) extract the boot.img from it and put it in your internal storage and install magisk from github
Press install in it and it would prompt you flashing a boot.img do that
Then copy the patched img to your pc
Then in platform-tools (search for it on google) click on the address bar then type cmd
From there type in (adb reboot bootloader) make sure your usb debugging is on
Then when it reboots to fastboot
Type (fastboot flash boot *your patched boot.img*)
That's exactly how i rooted my phone and i have an infinix hot 10s
And this method is universal
I want to install custom ROM on my infinix hot 11s, PLEASE someone work on it. HELP US!
We need developer support for infinix hot 11s please someone make TWRP and custom rom for it
Me to, please anyone develop custom rom and twrp for infinix hot 11s

Hey! If you successfully do that method, do you know how to fix the problem "<waiting for any devices>" in fastboot? Is it because of the driver for my device or other cases? Thank you in advance.

It's fine now, everything is work for the fastboot and I just need to find the right driver for my device. But still...do I need to unlock the bootloader first to be able flashing or do some commands? And since it's hard to find the firmware for my device, how to get the boot.img out of my phone? Knowing that Infinix Hot 11s NFC is a brand new phone and as far as I know it's regional based for Indonesia's market only. CMIIW.

https://romprovider.com/infinix-x6812b-firmware-support/ check if this is the one?
and I'm not sure but I think unlocking bootloader and rooting your device is totally different things so probably not
