The update brings back ARMv5 support, and fixes some compatibility issues with Android 2.x, that it seems were introduced in the same update ARMv5 support was dropped (not a coincidence).

The flashable ZIP installer has been updated as well. It should now support more arm devices that used to fail installation, as well as support x86 in the same ZIP (let me know how that works - I don't have an x86 device). If there's any new ZIP installer issues, please report them in the XDA thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

Download

Either update through the Play Store (it will take a few hours after this post before the new version will be available) or get the latest zipfile using this link: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu

Changelog

  • Brought back ARMv5 compatibility

  • Fixed compatibility issues with Android 2.x

  • Updated language files

  • ZIP: combined ARM+x86

You da man! Thanks!

+Chainfire mmmh when I reboot system from cwm, I must disable automatic flash of stock recovery or not?

ASHURiCAN iDe commented on 2013-09-10 at 22:49:

+Chainfire Same question, flash stock recovery or not?

+Chainfire Different question, I'm not able to satisfy my wife "in that way". Suggestions?

Drew young commented on 2013-09-10 at 23:17:

+Chainfire you are hands down the best Dev out there keep on rocking the android world :)

+Chainfire we would be lost without you!!!

Horst-G. Thiel commented on 2013-09-10 at 23:44:

Thank you works fine on S3 with Pacman ROM 09.10. Nightlie CM 10.2

Rick Hultmark commented on 2013-09-11 at 02:12:

I admire the work you Devs do to support the community, but when does it come time to cut the cord on the 2.x development to help curb the fragmentation?  Isn't it time to bring the baseline up to 4.0?

Joe Philipps commented on 2013-09-11 at 02:18:

+Rick Hultmark, not necessarily.  My aunt has a perfectly serviceable Galaxy Tab 7 which is still running GB (don't know why it hasn't been updated).  I own a Pandigital Nova which I bought only last year, which is still a useful tablet, but because of Pandigital going out of business, is probably going to be perpetually on GB 2.3.4 (unless there is some sort of Kang or CM or whatever ROM I don't know about for it...I guess it's an AMLogic-based tab).

Riccardo Belletti commented on 2013-09-11 at 05:44:

sadly but true, I've lost root with this update (Nexus 4, 4.3 JWR66Y)

I've already tried to install from recovery but it didn't work, still no root (and I've lost the SuperSU app too)

is it because I say "disable flash stock recovery"?

EDIT: something odd happened! I've flashed an old version of supersu (1.51) and now supersu (and root) is magically back and UPDATED (checked with rootchecker, su binaries vesion= 1.61)

Cembo Hurricane commented on 2013-09-11 at 05:55:

Thank you

Riccardo Belletti commented on 2013-09-11 at 05:57:

+Chainfire why do you have to modify that script?

MR PNUT commented on 2013-09-11 at 06:40:

I got the update on my note 2 and everything is still rock solid

Phil Knall commented on 2013-09-11 at 08:37:

+Chainfire is temp unroot broken in 4.3? Running this on mako, and even if I uncheck superuser some apps (spec. Puzzles & Dragons) won't work :(

Chainfire commented on 2013-09-11 at 08:43:

+Rick Hultmark If I were building a new app, I would certainly not support 2.x - I've said that for quite a while now. However, there are a number of recent budget-phones that run on ARMv6 and/or 2.x still, and according to the Play Store, almost 15% of SuperSU users still run 2.x. While that certainly isn't much, keep in mind that SuperSU has many millions of users - it's still millions of users I'd be dropping support for. Sure, probably one day I will drop 2.x support, but SuperSU will probably be the last app in my lineup to carry support for it.

+Riccardo Belletti It's needed on 4.3 to launch the background service

Riccardo Belletti commented on 2013-09-11 at 08:46:

+Chainfire but does it means we have to allow "flash stock recovery" when rebooting from custom recovery?

Nojnoj Xap commented on 2013-09-11 at 09:15:

Is there any way in rooting without so many bundle of command?

Chainfire commented on 2013-09-11 at 12:34:

+Riccardo Belletti Yes. Update your recovery to get rid of that message.

+jon Lordivan ... err, what ?

Riccardo Belletti commented on 2013-09-11 at 12:35:

Oh now I see

Riccardo Belletti commented on 2013-09-11 at 12:37:

+Chainfire so basically allowing them means to run the install-recovery script and that means your script

Riccardo Belletti commented on 2013-09-11 at 12:39:

+Chainfire btw how do you explain it worked for me on 4.3 when I flashed SuperSU 1.51 and I clicked "disable flash recovery"?

Nojnoj Xap commented on 2013-09-11 at 13:04:

Still my samsung tab 2 7.0 ver 4.2.1 not root, how sad to say.   .

Diego Campy commented on 2013-09-11 at 13:10:

+Chainfire for me the same of +Riccardo Belletti . The Last version 1.65 not work with. Zip uploading 1.65 but work with the uploading. Zip with 1.51 file zip.

BEST. SUPERUSER. EVER! How could I live, without you, Chainfire?

После обновления СуперСу перестал работать, рут права не предоставляет, просит обновления бинарного файла. Откатился назад, тоже самое. Попробую пеустановить. Посмотрите, нужны исправления.

I dnt understand the guidelines, so complex that is why is not working on my samsung tab 7 ver 4.2.1 jellybean

Martijn Loots commented on 2013-09-14 at 01:48:

+Chainfire: would it at all be possible to add apps to a list so that these apps would become unaware of the rooting of the phone ?

Allan Brazute commented on 2013-09-16 at 12:41:

I'm losing root at every boot. I have a Gnex with odexed 4.3Y stock. Everytime I wanna boot, I need to go to CWM and reflash the 1.65 or I will have no root when the system kicks in. Any ideas?

Jesper Hansen commented on 2013-09-17 at 19:38:

Not sure where to send bug reports, so here goes:

the su binary shipped with v1.65 appears to changes some of the tty flags, causing ctrl-c to no longer work. test case:

adb shell

su -c "echo foobar"

top

Its no longer possible to send sigint to top using ctrl-c.

As a temporary workaround I current use:

su -c "echo foobar" </dev/null

PLEASE HELP.. I upgraded to Super SU Pro. My problem is often I get some message in my Notification that too in a different language(may be japaneese). I just can't understand the message. It keeps disturbing me. I tried changing the language in settings to English. But still I get those notifications in my notification panel in a different language. PLEASE HELP

Thanks, @ last i am now a SUPERUSER again. Once again thank you for helping me. More power

Reza Khezri commented on 2013-09-23 at 21:37:

I installed it on my i9100g & instantly lost my root access. Fortunately I had a cwm backup just before installation but my access to cwm was lost too! So forced to use Odin. Back to original rom then root again & restore cwm backup! Where was my mistake? Please let me know. Thanks.

4.3 root was messed up severely from installing supersu but it started randomly working :)

yet ebreo commented on 2013-10-19 at 12:53:

Hi I notice the unroot function of the supersu?

Just want to know if this will reset my system status back to official?

叶盛 commented on 2013-10-25 at 08:57:

Great, but my app use the su to run "chmod -R 777" will make app can't use su until re-install app, if do this to /system, it will make su permission lost, is there any fault on my operation?

+Chainfire

Hello.

I got SGS 3 version: I9300XXEMG4.

And 4.1.2 OEM android.

I've rooted that with CF-Auto-Root.

And now i got this 1.65 update, and i installed it from Play store. It asked me, if i wanna install CVM/Customrecovery, or normal binary. (there said that it might be good thing to install it phones like HTC).

I installed that normal binary. Did i do the right thing?

Help me please :)

Unable to update binaries in latest version and killed my root apps like Titanium, etc. Is a fix coming? Droid Maxx rooted via pwnmymoto. 

Igor Ivonin commented on 2013-11-15 at 16:13:

How to downgrade to 1.65 ? 

(1.69 is wrong - it breaks the regional settings after each phone restart in GT-N7100, 4.1.2, stock). 

Sauli Rauhala commented on 2013-11-15 at 17:32:

I'm having almost same problem
