Android 4.3 rooted?

Hey guys.
I'm having problems with the new 4.3 image. I installed a root checker, and it says the device isn't rooted. I've then proceeded to manually copy the su file to the /bin directory on the system partition and chmod to 4755. I've also installed the supersu.apk and I can see it shows up and runs. Still though, no root permissions.

Anybody else having root issues?

Thanks

Eric

 

Me too, anyone got a fix?

 

I got it. I had to manually do it, but it seems to be working.
First download the zip from here
Mount the SD card and find the /system partition (should be partition number 5).
You need to copy some files from the zip file. Those files are

Code:

arm/su
common/99SuperSUDaemon
common/install-recovery.sh
common/Superuser.apk

This is an excerpt from the file used to install root via a recovery console, which we don't have.
"$BIN/su" is the arm/su binary file from the zip. Also don't copy directly to /system, copy to the subfolders on the SD card.

Code:

mkdir /system/bin/.ext
cp $BIN/su /system/xbin/daemonsu
cp $BIN/su /system/xbin/su
cp $BIN/su /system/bin/.ext/.su
cp $COM/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
cp $COM/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
cp $COM/99SuperSUDaemon /system/etc/init.d/99SuperSUDaemon
echo 1 > /system/etc/.installed_su_daemon

After that is done, you need to set permissions

Code:

chmod 0777 /system/bin/.ext
chmod 06755 /system/bin/.ext/.su
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
chmod 0755 /system/xbin/daemonsu
chmod 0755 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
chmod 0755 /system/etc/init.d/99SuperSUDaemon
chmod 0644 /system/etc/.installed_su_daemon
chmod 0644 /system/app/Superuser.apk

After all that is done, open the SuperSU program. It should work without any complaints. You can also install the Android Root Checker to verify access.

 

That's cool eric, I'll give it a try later. Could anyone confirm it's working?

 

Hi,
I'd like to try but my competence aren't that great. Is there any possibility to do a more detailed version ? that would be great.
thanks anyway

 

I'll see if I get time to whip up a script to do it from within a linux machine. It will have to be Linux, because we need access to the Ext4 file system.

 

I confirm that this root procedure is working!!!

Great job eric ... Thanks
