I am root?

[JorgeMC]

Hello, I've been looking but have not found an answer, as I can tell if the phone is rooted?

 

[taneljairus]

You can get the Root Checker app from Android Market. That should be the easiest way.

 

[Erel]

You can try this code (requires the Phone library).
It tries to get root permission for the process.

I didn't test it on a rooted phone.

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   Dim p As Phone
   Dim IsRoot As Boolean
   Try
      p.Shell("su", Null, Null, Null)
      File.WriteString("/", "test.txt", "")
      IsRoot = True
   Catch
      IsRoot = False
   End Try
   ToastMessageShow("Root=" & IsRoot, True)
End Sub

Using that code on a rooted device makes it crash.

 

[Erel]

Can you post the unfiltered logs?

 

[NJDude]

Here is the bottom portion of the log, since when I run the app, I just see a black screen and then a message saying that the app is not responding.

This happens because the console waits for further commands. This method will not work.

You can try to create a script and run it as described here: http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4andr...nning-shell-commands-superuser.html#post39820

 

[vb1992]

Works for me.

'Activity module
Sub Process_Globals
   'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
   'These variables can be accessed from all modules.

Dim Command, Runner As String
Dim StdOut, StdErr As StringBuilder
Dim Result As Int
Dim Ph As Phone



End Sub

Sub Globals
   'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
   'These variables can only be accessed from this module.

End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)


 

Runner = File.Combine(File.DirInternalCache, "runner")
Command = File.Combine(File.DirInternalCache, "command")

File.WriteString(File.DirInternalCache, "runner", "su < " & Command)
File.WriteString(File.DirInternalCache, "command", "df /data" & CRLF & "date" & CRLF & "exit") 'Any commands via crlf, and exit at end 
StdOut.Initialize
StdErr.Initialize

Result = Ph.Shell("sh", Array As String(Runner), StdOut, StdErr)


Msgbox(StdOut.tostring, "")



End Sub

 

[NJDude]

That code doesn't show the MsgBox showing StdOut.ToString, only if I remove this line "Result = Ph.Shell("sh", Array As String(Runner), StdOut, StdErr)" is when I see it, in short, on my rooted device, that example do not work.

 

[vb1992]

Need a screen Shot of my results?

 

[vb1992]

try changing this:

Result = Ph.Shell("sh", Array As String(Runner), StdOut, StdErr)

to

Result = Ph.Shell("su", Array As String(Runner), StdOut, StdErr)

 

[NJDude]

Nope, that crashed the app, just like my original post.

 

[vb1992]

works for me...hmmm

 

[NJDude]

It is this line, don't know why SU doesn't work.

Result = Ph.Shell("su", Array As String(Runner), StdOut, StdErr)

 

[vb1992]

If I throw this code for my other tablet (non-rooted)
it doesnt crash

Try
Result = Ph.Shell("su", Array As String(Runner), StdOut, StdErr)
Msgbox(StdOut.tostring, "")
Catch
Msgbox("NOT ROOTED POSSIBLY!","")
End Try

 

[vb1992]

also, did you end up getting this ?

 

[NJDude]

Yes, I get that, I continue and nothing.

If I throw this code for my other tablet (non-rooted)
it doesnt crash

On non-rooted it works.

EDIT TO ADD: My rooted phone displays nothing, just a black screen and ask to force close, my rooted tablet shows the "rooted" message then hangs and ask to force close.

 

[vb1992]

What happens when you download some of the check root apps?

 

[NJDude]

All the apps I run requiring root privileges work without a hitch.

 

[vb1992]

Here is the apk
