Working Superuser for TB Sense

This is actually relevant to more than just the Thunderbolt. It fixes Superuser problems with numerous newer Sense releases.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886999
My su binary is already being provided via the root thread but the matching Superuser is not. Without the matching patched Superuser, you'll see FCs when apps request root if the Superuser app itself is open.
Just apply the update zip from the aforementioned thread to fix it. ROM builders should use my patched version as well.

Please update to this, I will be fixing the tutorial as soon as I can, and noting it here.

Rafi, good to see you on the bolt. Looks like we will get a virtuous Rom too. Ran your Rom on the inc till I got run over by the desire z, hd craze.
Sent from my Thunderbolt!

Hmm, not sure if I should do this. I ran fix permissions in Rom Manager and it seemed to take care of all the problems. Everything's been working fine since then. What do you guys suggest?

i see no reason to mess with it if your set up is currently working

I agree - however, in my case, nothing was solving the FC's - so I put in this SU and all is right with the world.
I think it's worth trying if all other permissions methods are failing - it certainly "feels" more stable.

This fixes su issues while the superuser app is open.
Flash it.

Thank you rmk & jcase

even aftere re rooting fix my su issue i ran this and i feel su runs wayyyyy smoother now for apps that need su.

There is simply no way any newer Sense ROM works correctly without this patched version. You *will* ultimately encounter issues.
Don't believe me, try this. Open up the Superuser app itself, connect via adb shell, su system, su root. Observe hang. This is just an example, there are numerous other ways to have the issue occur.

This was working for me until I rebooted. Once I did, everything was back to how it was.
I just applied the patch, restarted. VOILA! SU is working again. Thanks rmk40!

Superuser is acting up after working fine earlier. How can i boot into clockwork without rom manager anyone? thanks

Thank you for the response, my newbness was the problem as there was a file on sd card that keep trying to install when trying what you mentioned above.

Still getting FC's in SU after flashing... Did I miss something?
Never mind, fixed after running a program that required root.
Thanks!

Adaway on jwr66y blocked?

Can someone help confirm that Adaway (version 2.3) installs on your phone? For some reason I can't get it to install after updating to jwr66y.
Edit: Resolved! Cleaned up app corpse using SD Maid.

It just says “app not installed” with a single “done” button as opposed to a “done” and “open” button with other successful installs. I do have have a nandroid backup before the update.. but that'll hopefully be the last one to do..

That's weird! Try to download another apk! The one you got might be bad or something...go to their website

if you took an ota update, you need to reflash su. you can flash custom roms and kernels and not have root. you just wouldnt be able to use root apps/functions, like titanium, or adaway. open a terminal emulator app.. type su(press enter). if you get a # then you have root. if you dont, then you dont have root.

It's 117.38 MB, but it's slow..slow dwl.

System ROM is 2GB so its unlikely to be anything significant

It will not install if you have custom recovery. Will reboot only in recovery. I had to restore to my latest back-up (edit: and same thing ) I think i will revert to stock.
This update : Apps enhancement.

Which base? Still jelly bean 4.2.2?

Can someone make a flashbacks zip we can update the new changes via twrp. Or cwm?

Is "Drive" its exact and complete name? I don't seem to have got that, it might be market-specific... Are you sure you are not mixing it up with Drive from Google?

Yes it is google drive but i have not downloaded it was not there before the update

Got this "V50010B" update via OTA yesterday (in Italy on an Italian G Pad).
Things I have noticed so far are they have corrected a couple of bugs: tap sounds randomly muted and then randomly working again (I have them on) and a bug where you have the "Auto-show the Remote in the lockscreen when on some AP" option ON and the time widget would "multiply", over time.
P.S. I didn't lose root and I forgot to disable Xposed before updating but it hasn't affected anything. Everything works perfectly well after the update.

I have noticed two changes after the update.
1. Screen seems to be brighter on minimum brightness. Those who was crying for the 7 led's leek, can be happy.
2. If you lock screen rotation, it will be locked on the current position, instead of going back to portrait mode. Now you can lie on your side, and use the tab on landscape:good: !

Good to know! The few times I lock the screen (of both my smartphone and my tablet) I usually need it in portrait but I have always found VERY STUPID this behaviour some makers/devices have of locking the orientation always and only in portrait!!
My Note II unfortunately has it, I didn't notice the G Pad had it too (I have probably never tried to lock it in landscape, so far) but I am very glad it hasn't anymore! :good:

I still haven't got the update as of noon eastern time today. Do they push it in waves or something?

For anyone tryed to flash the update with TWRP recovery and stuck into "recovery bootloop" just do this.
1)Boot into recovery
2)Go to "Advanced" and then "Terminal Command" and choose root folder.
3)Type this and then hit enter. TRY TO TYPE IT RIGHT OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
PS:Without this command even restore will not work

Yeah! Not going to be a test mule @Mudavo especially since there have been so many issues with the Nexus 4 variant of this root method. Rather wait for a permissive build.

Auto root seems to have worked for me. However, I didn't see the red android but the script text was there. After install, my device rebooted three times ... which was weird.

I would be freaking out over the possibility of bricking it so soon
First verification of working, with three reboots, hopefully that's normal.

Did you unzip the autoroot files to a folder on your desktop, put your Nexus 6 in bootloader and run the extracted bat file?

Excellent the day is complete root and twrp

Seems to work just fine.

Mine also rooted fine after the reboots. I did not see the red sign either. It is a good day.

Will try when I get home. Anybody tried tethering dun?

I'm curious what rooting at the moment gains us. A few apps? Xposed doesn't work(yet). But for The moment I don't really have a huge urge to root. I will however unlock immediately. In case I'd like to root.
Besides titanium, what apps can we use?

No red logo either.
Had to run the bat 2 times, but looks good, root confirmed.

Barclays mobile banking app

Just wondering if anyone has got the Barclays banking app to work on any custom Rom. I have tried nearly all of them and even the ones that are not rooted don't work.

I know that barclays used to crash if it detected root at all. I'm rooted using Magisk and if I add barclays to Magisk Hide, it opens for me. Don't have an account with them to test login but it's better than nothing. Also make sure you pass safetynet before you open it and clear app data before launching for first time

I am also interested in the steps to get this app working on my phone as I have been unable to get past the start screen for a couple of months however it would be really helpful to have access to this app and it's features .

Don't use it no more but what I've done is had systemless root (magisk) then install the app that you want t hide, prior to opening it, click magisk, go to settings and show magisk hide, then check the box next to the application you want to hide.
Then start your app for the first time.

Not sure then mate. Must have been patched
What about temp unrooting? Yours be surprised how little you need root? Cant think of any other way.
At the moment I just use the mobile website.
Or there may be an older version of the app not susceptible to root checking or the methods the newer version of the app uses, I know my old bank Lloyd's did this. Old version worked perfectly.
Have you got xposed on your phone?
