SuperSU updated to v2.02 - L fixes
Posted on 2014-07-27, 112 comments, 690 +1's, imported from Google+/Chainfire

NOTICE: This content was originally posted to Google+, then imported here. Some formatting may be lost, links may be dead, and images may be missing.

This update primarily fixes some L-related issues.

An L internal zygote crash which output and exit code could propagate into su's output (thus giving root apps unexpected results) has been fixed. Not sure how many apps had issues with this, but I'm sure there are a few. If you're a dev and have noticed SIGABORTs, this is that issue.

App UIDs on L are subject to change between app un/reinstalls, which could cause SuperSU's tamper-detection to auto-deny root access. This has been fixed.

SuperSU apparently also wasn't working correctly on L when SELinux was set to permissive. This has been tested and remedied.

Lastly, SuperSU now shows you a notification to inform you when the binary needs to be updated.

Google Play

This update is not available through Google Play as of yet. It involves a binary update - always potentially troublesome -, and most of the fixes only apply to L preview users right now. Though I do encourage tech-savvy users to try the latest version regardless of which Android version they are on, I don't want to force it on the Play users just yet.

Wow, thank you for this version!  No idea what I did, but in trying to root my Samsung Note 8.0 I got it into a "1/2 rooted" mode.  Some programs said I had root, but Tibu did not.  After this update, I have full root according to all programs I have tried.  Brilliant!  Thanks!

+Chainfire I've updated to 2.02 in my ROM and it says that it needs to be updated. Is there a way to tell why? And more importantly is there a way to turn off the update checks for a builtin install? And even more importantly will you release the source so I can build it inline?

Teddy C. commented on 2014-08-28 at 22:21:

I have a broken display, with pattern lock, would like to give adb root permission by editing the config for SuperSU so root is granted at startup, in order to remote control the display via AndroidScreenCast.  I have adb root access through recovery so finding and editing the config seems to be the only way through this.  Any chance you could share where the SuperSU config file is?

+Fahmi Abdul Hadi this is the easiest way to toot your device. How to root Lenovo A680

Download the Vroot rooting software from this link. It is a Chinese website, you can use Google Translate.

Install the rooting software on your computer.

Now connect the phone to the computer using USB cable. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on the phone.

Wait until Windows automatically installs the appropriate drivers.

Start the rooting software; it will detect the phone and it will show a Green button on the right bottom corner.

Click on the Green button to root Lenovo A680.

The phone will reboot once the rooting process is complete.
