I found this video from IEEE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KMMfxOoCjg&sns=em In the video it looks like they are using an option in superuserex to modify permissions, but superuserex requires recovery to update the binary code. I installed the apk and updated chainfire superuser, so I'm wondering if any more security is necessary. I found this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lbe.security.lite but it doesn't seem to work with kitkat. I noticed some threads about LBE but wasn't able to figure out if there is a fix to use it on my phone and mabey my SM-P600.

I was having a problem with apps that require Superuser permissions after upgrading to the @munjeni CM9 ICS rom which is otherwise fantastic. It would repeatedly ask for permission in an endless loops and none of the app-based solutions would work.
The Fix:
After opening Superuser -> Settings/Automatic response/set to Allow
Note:
This will automatically allow any application requesting root access so if you are prone to installing apks from nefarious sources, be ware or only toggle this setting right before using the desired app.
The real fix is to reinstall the SU Binary from the settings menu. Then the Superuser request works correctly again.

I don't know whether you guys have tried either LBE Privacy Guard, or Proid. But I have some interest in privacy tools.
Just today I got Pdroid working on CM10. It's a cool tool for managing apps and your privacy. I highly recommend it, and since no-one has ever posted about it in here, I thought I should.
I had tried LBE but after granting root it severely messes with my system, and I end up in some weird screen off loop, which I cannot get out of. I used aroma filemanager from recovery to delete the apk from app folder.
Pdroid is somewhat more advanced, since it requires patching of your rom. But Autopatcher makes it easy, and creates an update.zip to flash from recovery.
Go check it out :good::cyclops:
Hi!
Here is a new version of LBE PRIVACY GUARD called LBE SECURITY MANAGER.
it's fully compatible with JB.

Just wondering what peoples thoughts are about granting su. I've always used supersu by chainfire since the day i first rooted my n7. But I've heard lots of good things about the new superuser from clockworkmod (koush).. Its open source, supports multi user, can be integrated directly into a ROM (ie in system and settings menu). Actually the ROM i use now has it integrated into the system. Haven't had any problems with it yet, but i never really had any problems with supersu either. What do all ya'll prefer?
I now use Koush's Superuser app. Its designed for the new Jelly Bean multiusers scheme, you can for example select for only owner to have root access. I also like the option of having to enter PIN number to allow root access for new apps.

Hello to everyone,
I own a Galaxy S5 G900F, (Unlocked Variant).
I have downloaded and installed LOLLIPOP AMBASADII.ODEX.V6.1 ROM with Aroma Installer and I am using Amplitude Kernel.
The rom came pre-rooted, with SuperSU Installed. I Only updated the app from the PlayStore. The program DID NOT prompt me for Binaries Update. I also have BusyBox installed.
When I check the root status with Root Checker, it says Success, which means there is root permission. Also, I checked it with Platinum Backup, and it also gives permission for root access. Finally, I downloaded a Root Browser, and that works fine as well.
The problem is with value-changing apps like game killer, game cih, haXplorer and game guardian. Although they prompt me to give permissions, and I chose "allow", none of them is able to work.
In game killer, it says "root privilage is needed"
In haXplorer, as soon as I open it is says "shutdown"
In game guardian, the program auto closes instantly.
All the above issues have to do with proper root Access.
So, how is it possible for programs like FX File Explorer (root), titanium (root), root checker and others to have root access, while others don't?
I would really like your answer on this, as I am trying for one week to solve this issue with no results.
Thank you.
Once you get root access, it is sytem wide, not by app.

Thank you for the reply. Yeah I know that, so what should be the problem?
Maybe you need an app to hide or cloak root status.
That such thing exists for Xposed framwork, but thus it is not comparible with 5.0 TW ROMs, you will have to downgrade back to 4.4.2 in order to use it.
Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble getting root on my Oppo Find 5 ever since I switched to cROMs based on Android 4.4.x or higher.
Until 4.2.x Framaroot apk did the trick for me, but it doesn't seem to work on the newer versions anymore. Right now, I'm using MIUI v7 (Android 4.4.4) and I'm pretty happy with it, but I hate not having root and I can't find anything useful online. Most English threads are from way back where .zip downloads are down already and/or the info is terribly outdated.
Did anyone find a method to root their X909 on Android 4.4.x and above?
I would greatly appreciate any help.
Go to security app in MIUI and go to permissions => Root acces.

It only says that no apps have root permission. Does MIUI have a built-in root access? The Security stuff seems to me like a root manager only, similar to SuperSU and Superuser.
I also downloaded Root Check for whatever it is worth and it says my device is not rooted.
edit: I just checked some other threads and apparently developer versions of MIUI have built-in root access. My X909 is currently running the ported ROM by wuxianlin000000 though. I'm not sure if it's supposed to have root as well.
I tried starting Titanium Backup in hopes of getting a root access request, but it just showed an info box that no root access could be acquired.
I'm running the same rom and I have root acces. Dont know how I enabled it but it wasn't anything I had to flash and pretty sure it was something in settings. Try checking security app root options again and grant root acces to the apps that are listed.

I think I'm going to reinstall once again to see if it fixes anything (doesn't bother me that much since I wanted to try LVM installation anyway). Are prerooted cROMs the norm after 4.2.x? Else, I'd still really like to know a root method that works regardless of the ROM.
Short update:
I don't know why but MIUIs root worked when I checked again today. I don't know why, but beforehand there were no "requests" from apps shown under Security > Permissions > Root access. Today, however *something* (I really have no clue what) apparently changed and apps requesting root access are shown and I can grant them access.
