RootBeer sample fail on SElinux check
Hi, I have new Samsung galaxy S21, running Android 11, This is an original device that has never been rooted or with unlocked bootloader. but in the new version of rootbeer I get message says that my device has been rooted.
I checked the device settings (Settings > About phone > software information > Se for Android status) and there's SElinux is on Enforcing mode. So what could be the problem, maybe an error in the checking process?
There are a lot of apps that use the rootbeer library to get root indication, which means I can't use them if the problem isn't resolved.
Hey @david-lev yep we are still maintaining rootbeer albeit on best efforts basis. Just for some extra context the SElinux flag check is an optional/experimental check that isn't included in the main isRooted() check. I agree if you're seeing an issue with this then it does sound like an error in the checking process. Thanks for raising this.
@VD171 sorry I didn't quite get that. What is Selinux returning?
The app is showing SELinux as disabled even though it is not.
Removed the Selinux method in 0.1.1 given it's not accessible on later versions of Android and is not "truly" an isRooted indicator. Thanks for flaggin this issue.
