Snapchat Root workaround - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion

I just found a workaround to login to snapchat and other apps that wont let you login while rooted.
1. Install root switch https://mega.nz/#!hw1giCBb!EbAYtSs-KC2f_z6pW5nprvzd7rhCUFEAizAxHeFlueA
2. Phone may reboot after a few seconds.
3. Login to snapchat.
4. Open app and renable root.
5. Profit.
Sorry if it doesn't work for you but worked for me!

Be careful using this app. I had to change my su binary permissions back to 755 in order for any apps to request root again.

Here are the three methods I've used to get SC working on Rooted device.
1st Method Using TitaniumBackup (Explained for the SAMPWND Root)
1. Flash the rooted firmware
2. Download snapchat then login
3. Once logged in do the process of installing supersu
4. Once SuperSu is installed download titaniumbackup and backup snapchat and save the backup on a PC or external SD card(just to be safe)
5. Then complete part two of the root process.
6. Once finished install titaniumbackup, make sure the snapchat backup created earlier is in the titaniumbackup folder.
7. Finally restore snapchat.
You should be automatically logged in when you open the app. This process has worked for quite a long time and I just did this to my S8+.
2nd Method Uninstalling SuperSu
If you don't want to go through that process you can always uninstall supersu, download and login to snapchat, then reinstall supersu.
This is probably the easiest way but I'm a huge fan of uninstalling SuperSu.
3rd Method Using BlueStacks and TitaniumBackup (Last Resort)
This is the FINAL way I've found to get SC to work.
1. Install an android emulator like BlueStacks on a PC.
2. Download Snapchat and login on Bluestacks
3. Next root Bluestacks
4. Install titaniumbackup
5. Create backup of Snapchat
6. Transfer backup to already rooted phone
7. Once that is done restore SC with titaniumbackup on the rooted phone
I had to use this method on my old S7 because nothing else would work, it is definitely a LAST resort option lol.
*This is similar to the first method I posted, but with this way you can do it even when you have finished rooting your device*

Perfect i used the first method

Working root method for 5.1.1 (.264) and maybe .232

After asking some people to try this method on their phones, it turned out that you can root your xperia z2 using the latest kingroot apk (v4.8)
Tested on xperia z2 and z3 compact
The steps are really simple
Download kingroot from here http://www.kingroot.net/wap
Install the apk and open it
Try to root
If successful then congratulations
***if it fails at a certain point,,, try to use a vpn then try again***
To have better root access, install SuperSU using this method (source: w0lfdroid)
Download and install Terminal emulator app here
Download and unzip "Replace_Kingroot_With_SuperSU.zip" file here
Send the extracted folder "mrw" to the internal storage of your device and make sure that this folder contains 4 files
Open Terminal emulator and type :
su
Allow root permission
Type: sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
It might display some error, at the end it will launch supersu or open supersu manually.
Update su binary normal, then reboot.
I would really appreciate it if more people try this method and share the result in the comments
Thanks

Looks good, but better to go with installing super su trough recovery after king root. I got a bootloop while I was trying to install super su after Kingroot. And anyway, you'll need recovery for flashing, why root without TWRP. Kingroot roots. 264 in v4.6 w/o any issues.

Ok thanks for your feedback
I never got a bootloop replacing kingroot...strange
Yes it works I was able to install existenz without connecting my phone to PC.
simplest method to get root with supersu:
1. download kingroot apk, put on internal storage
2. download (or create your own) prerooted zip, (or a ROM with supersu) put on internal sd card
3. download dual recovery to PC and unzip
4. make sure you have developer options and usb debugging enabled
5. make sure you have unknown sources enabled under settings/security
6. install kingroot apk and run it. It will say not exploit found or somesuch but you can continue from there and it will eventuall succeed
7. once you have root with kingroot connect the phone to your pc, make sure you authorize the usb debugging and run the batch file in the unzipped dual recovery
8. choose "phone rooted with supersu" and grant root access with kingroot when it pops up
9. let the dual recovery install and eventually it will reboot to twrp
10. not sure if it is necessary but I did a full wipe; data,cache, dalvik and system
11. install the the prerooted zip with twrp
12 reboot to a rooted phone with supersu

Tip for those with android is starting or preparing apps on every reboot

So ive noticed on most roms that when you remove default built in root, it gives you an android is starting or optimising message on every boot. I deleted built in root so i could root with supersu and install suhide so i could play pokemon go. Well su hide wont install with built in root still intact so i had to do a full unroot first. Thats where the optimising problem on every reboot began. But i managed to solve it by copying the su file from supersu to the /su/xbin folder. After that no more problems on reboot. Thought id share in case someone else was having this same annoyance.
how to do that .... full unroot built in root
copy su file to su/xbin folder how to do this ?????

Accidentally uninstalled SuperSU

Hi guys
I am pretty new to android, but i know a lot about pc's.
I have a OP5 and rooted it, but then i had an issue with SuperSU and uninstalled it. What i did not think, is that if i reinstall it, it has no root access, because i can not grant it.
So i tried reinstalling it with TWRP, but it did not get root access.
Does anyone know how to give it root again/reinstall it with root?
(i could reflash the os and reinstall superSU, but i dont want to set uo the phone again)
Also does anyone know the progress on nethunter for OP5?
Thanks and yours

It's been awhile since I used SuperSU so I might be fuzzy: SuperSU has two components, 1) the .zip portion installed from TWRP and 2) the APK. The zip is like "the framework/service/su" part and the APK is the app that just tracks and loads the DB with which apps or services have been granted SU access.
My question is "Which of these did you uninstall?" : OR: Did you uninstall both? Maybe only uninstalling one or the other causes an 'out of sync' condition.
Anyway: This version of SuperSU https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133 discussed in that thread has the APK in the .zip file. By definition all TWRP recoveries are rooted and can do what they want to like installing SuperSU.
What happens after you boot seems more likely to be about left-over crud from the APK / DB component, (and I'm guessing here), so if the SuperSU APK is still there, I'd clear it's data entirely, perhaps get rid of it entirely if you can and reinstall the .zip that contains all parts of SuperSU (maybe they all do now) from that link ^^. Make sure that link I gave is the one you want (systemless, etc).
TWRP should've done the heavy lifting during SuperSU install since it's already rooted. If it didn't, then keep the log from TWRP and look over it's install steps during the SuperSU install. Post it here maybe.
Thanks for the answer.
I uninstalled the apk.
I already tried to install the apk directly and also installing it from the zip, and there was either a message like "no root detected" or " root is corrupted".
I also deleted the su folder, uninstalled the apk and reinstalled the zip. But it was always the same: the apk did either say it's not rooted or did not install/show in the apps.
Probably i have to unroot and root it, or do you have any other idea?
TWRP Terminal
I found out, that there is a terminal with root access on twrp. So i searched for eu.chainfire.supersu with the find comman and use chown root:root to give each directory root access. But it still did not recognize the root. So i thought about the db you said and maybe it doesnt recognize the db.
So i tried the same with dsploit as it doesnt run without root, but it's the same.
I will try to delete all the supersu directories as well as any su directory and reinstall the zip. Or if there is an apt-get, i will try it to install it by terminal

You might be out of luck if you deleted the su directory or any other related to binary su code. I'm not sure why you couldn't do a reinstall of the original SuperSU .zip file. You've got that whole 'catch-22' thing going right now.
The only thing I'm wondering about is whether a certain amount of cleanup has to take place before you can just roll SuperSU*.zip over an old mangled version and get it to work. Do you get errors in TWRP when trying to reinstall the entire package?
---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------
I downloaded this version of SuperSU (which may or may not be what you used, but you of course want the one you used): http://download.chainfire.eu/1114/SuperSU/SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931.zip
Then I unzipped it and the installer script for not only the binary parts but the apk is here .\SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-binary. (updater-script is a dummy). It's kind of old school and is very easy to understand (the shell script that installs it).
All the files that it pushes onto the SD are easy to find and use, although you have to keep SELinux settings in mind.
It's worth taking a look at if you want to try to rebuild the wrecked version or if you want to just reapply the zip and have a better understanding of any errors it spits out.
Good luck.

PRO6 PLUS Flyme 7.3 completely ROOT

After upgrading to flyme7, Meizu limits the full root privileges. After the system settings get root, installing supersu can't be used, and root privileges may be lost after reboot.
You can now get full root privileges by executing the script. You can get full root privileges by following the procedure below.
1. Required attachments: root script, MT toolbox
2. Restart after the system settings get root, install the MT toolbox, click the Root script.sh and execute it, agree to the MT toolbox to obtain root privileges, the script will automatically get the full ROOT, and then automatically restart.
3. After restarting, the SuperSU icon will appear on the desktop. After clicking enter, it will be used normally. The xposed framework can also be activated normally.

Good post.But from my experience with flyme, you are just fuc** flyme. Flyme is a heavily customized rom and it is not stable with xposing. You will understand as time goes.
Is it worth playing with this? What is the benefit of this script over the usual way getting root access on the phone?
In the case this is more useful, is there a link where it is directly downloadable? The link in the main post is just keep asking ti install an app instead of downloading the zip file. Could you please upload the script to where it can be easily downloaded and not require additional apps to install.
