cryptfs-password-manager Root isn't being detected on the FP2

When I start the app, it request superuser permissions. But after that, it just exits saying "Cannot get superuser access, exiting". More detailed information would be nice.

Superuser access is there, using su via a terminal app or via adb works fine.

Other people seem to have the same issue.

What Superuser app are you using? I don't have that device, but if you can find the cause or get me debug logs, I should be able to add a workaround or new condition to the app.

It does need a utility from SuperSU to adjust SELinux policy, so if you are using anything else, or the policy is different, root may not be detected, or the app might be able to get the necessary permissions to run properly.

Additionally, the format of the cryptfs command parameters might be different, which further complicates things. Can you change or verify the password from a root shell? See the README for the commands you need to use.

Yes, I could change the password in the terminal by running vdc cryptfs changepw password <old> <new>. And I could verify it by running vdc cryptfs verifypw <new>.

I'm not using any superuser app. The su support is built into the ROM. (This should be the code used.) [Edit: It's simply the CyanogenMod root thingy.]

Here's a logcat when I start the app:

i can confirm exact the same issue with RR-OS 5.8.5 (which is based on LineageOS 14.1) with LOS' su... including the possibility to change and verify password via terminal with vdc cryptfs changepw password <old> <new> and vdc cryptfs verifypw <new>.

@nelenkov can you go into or link some details about the SELinux policy?

Nov 06 '17 06:11 DJCrashdummy

Same Issue here (App exists with ""Cannot get superuser access,exiting" after allowed root access has been confirmed by a toast before)

Running 7.2.1 Nougat Stock ROM with Magisk applied.

vdc cryptfs changepw pin

after su in adb shell completes withou error.
