SU in source

Open elliot-huffman opened this issue 10 years ago • 34 comments

Can you put the SU binary in the source? It is a bother for people to find it wild on the internet without some knowledge...

elliot-huffman avatar May 12 '14 23:05 elliot-huffman

I have to do this soon, just want to be sure there are no licensing requirements.

johnnyapol avatar May 12 '14 23:05 johnnyapol

I just thought about that after I posted it... I will look into it asap.

elliot-huffman avatar May 12 '14 23:05 elliot-huffman

The superuser binary site does not say... http://androidsu.com/superuser/

That should be the home of su...

elliot-huffman avatar May 12 '14 23:05 elliot-huffman

Going to investigate at a little more and than providing everything is okay will upload soon.

johnnyapol avatar May 13 '14 02:05 johnnyapol

Any news?

elliot-huffman avatar May 31 '14 15:05 elliot-huffman

I have not found any license... I am going to upload SU to the source in ~1 day

elliot-huffman avatar Jun 06 '14 17:06 elliot-huffman

Have you uploaded it yet?

benjimt avatar Jun 19 '14 15:06 benjimt

Even a link for the binary in the installation instructions could help to solve this issue.

nh-99 avatar Jun 24 '14 21:06 nh-99

The link that I used to download the SU is broken. I am not sure where to find it atm. I only have my personal copy.

I managed to find a dump of various SU binaries. I won't link with permission, but some specific searches of the filename in question [from androidsu.com] yielded positive results. I will see if it works tomorrow.

Corbow6 avatar Jun 25 '14 07:06 Corbow6

I just checked and all of the download links relevant to us are not working. That is where I got my copy (a long time ago). If you have some way of contacting the author of the website then could you ask him/her if we can upload a copy to our servers?

I will try. What version specifically are we looking for? I was able to get "V 3.1.3 x86 signed" architecture, and "3.1.3 arm signed" downloaded. However, after some digging I downloaded these from adbtoolkit.com, which indicated the version linked above has actually been abandoned. However, SuperSU IS opensource and available to compile here: https://github.com/koush/Superuser

The .apk is available on the Play Store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.superuser&hl=en

So I don't think there would be any issue as long as a credit gets thrown towards koush.

Corbow6 avatar Jun 25 '14 17:06 Corbow6

We are looking for the ARM version

Well I do have "Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed" downloaded, but what does everyone think of using an abandoned work? I've attempted to contact ChainsDD from androidsu.com but no reply thus far. Also, SuperSU by Koush is ARM compatible. I'll try pushing to my Valet on my own in a bit, and check back.

Corbow6 avatar Jun 25 '14 21:06 Corbow6

You need to get a written (in this case typed) consent in order to host it yourself. otherwise he could shut down the entire project suing all of us. Trust me, I know someone who was sued for doing almost the exact same thing.

You need to get the consent before hosting it.

Sounds good. I'm going to try and use Koush's version, as consent should be acquired easier from him.

Corbow6 avatar Jun 25 '14 22:06 Corbow6

ok as long it is compatible with the device. (ARM processor)

I have both the chainsdd su binary and the supersu binary both for arm devices. I'll shoot them an email too just for the heck of it...two things giving permission is better than one! Also i want specific permission to host on the site (valetroot.dx.am) On Jun 25, 2014 4:52 PM, "Elliot Huffman" [email protected] wrote:

Okay, I ended up using ChainFire's ARM binary because I didn't feel like compiling Koush's version. Pushed everything over successfully, ran both methods to no avail. Keep getting read-only errors. I'm going to dig around in /system later tonight.

@benjimt - Cool deal, man. I don't think the SuperSU binary should be a problem, ChainFire has a disclaimer that it can be used, as well as the free .apk in his thread on XDA. Still wouldn't hurt to ask, and maybe even see if he has any idea what's going on with our root.

Corbow6 avatar Jun 25 '14 23:06 Corbow6

Cool, maybe you can find something valuable. :)

Yes definitely. I email him tomorrow.

Is this why I keep getting "cannot stat 'su' : no such file or directory"? Please help I'm a noob 8^)

lifeluvr avatar Jul 15 '14 18:07 lifeluvr

Did you push the su file into the /data/tmp directory?

@lifeluvr is it when you are trying to copy the files to the device or copy the su bin from /data/local/tmp to system? If this is when you are trying to copy the rooting files to the device, which I highly suspect, you need to have the su, roothandler, and installsu.sh in your adb folder for this to work, and cd to that folder (for me anyway) to recognize the three files.
