[SCRIPT] Auto Root x86 4.3 - Simple method:

[Quinny899]

More detailed thread over on xda, with download and screenshots:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44239140

This is a script to root Android x86 4.3 after installation to the hard disk. It installs all the files needed, botched together from the latest SuperSU version. It needs you to have access to a Linux OS on the same device as Android is installed to, but a live CD/USB of that will work too

Try it and see if it works for you, it does for me

[Chih-Wei Huang]

Thank you for the script.
But could you provide a simpler solution?
I expect a patch to the source tree
so we can add it in the next release.
Thanks!

I don't do stuff like that usually, but the bulk of the script is the user input for where they installed it to. Just copying the files to your tree and setting the permissions from what the script does should work, it's just the x86 su file many times and a patched init.sh file to add one line before "return 0":
daemonsu --daemon &

That's all it does. I'm also making a script now that runs in the Android x86 alt+f1 command line to install it, should be easier to understand too

[Quinny899]

Here's version 2:

v2:Included version for Android x86 boot, through the Alt+F1 terminal

Made it a bit simpler

Note: If you want to see how it works, your best place to look is the "install-device.sh" script in the script/ folder

[coax]

Is there source code for daemonsu?

[Quinny899]

It's just the same as su but renamed, no idea why, but it works

[Greg McGee]

...and rootcheck sayeth: ROOTED.

Works peachy on the latest 4.3 iso I have from DCIM.
(Not the tablets-x86 build, the std one)

[Greg McGee]

So... Before I go and mess it up, we should probably install SuperSU or Superuser so we have some actual protection? (since a root passwd is not happening and it's wide open ATM)

That won't bork it?

Supersu works to allow or deny, but the prompt mode doesn't seem to work.
SuperUser doesn't work at all
(using apks from Play store)

[Quinny899]

SuperSU is installed by the script and works fine, prompting and everything. No further installations are needed

[Joris De Matos Nobre]

I have tried to run the script and it does not work. The problem is that the script does not seem to be granted with su permissions.

the first "mount" displayed "permission not allowed".

Of course I tried to run the script from Androidx86 (Alt+F1).

[Greg McGee]

The installed su has no admin GUI and appears to allow everything by default.
Installing SuperSU from Play after rooting allows me to set it to deny or allow by default, but the prompt mode doesn't seem to work AFAICT.

Am I missing something?

Perhaps I need to start over...

[Greg McGee]

Did several clean install//root cycles, it works but there is NO gui unless one installs SuperSU, and even then you can only set it grant or off, SuperSU prompts are inop with the 4.3-test release ATM, and simply running the root procedure defaults to "grant". you can de- and re- activate SuperSU via the gui as well. (tried it without SuperSU fom play, tried installing it FIRST, and after rooting, same issues w/prompt)

[Quinny899]

It definitely installs SuperSU to the system:

cp system/app/Superuser.apk /system/app/

That's SuperSU, which is available on reboot

[Greg McGee]

Odd it didn't show up as an available app on 4.3-test after rooting... But it DID root my system from VT1. (Alt+ F1) using the first android-x86-4.3-test iso. (not the tablets-x86 build)

I can set it to grant or deny by default as well as disable/re-enable su, but only after installing the app from Play, no app shows up to bring up the management GUI.

[Greg McGee]

The root hack installs SuperSU as a system app.

Is this why the GUI/popup notifications are not available to the user?

Tried to install the script. Failed. Sorry for not being capable to take a screen shot
Is there a problem if the android 4.3 is installed on and booted from a sd-card (sdb1) and not the main hard disk sda?

Fujitsu lifebook T730

P-O

[Greg McGee]

It must be RW, at least.

You can't trivially do it from the installer as everything is still mounted ro.

You might be able to manually remount things as needed, but it works on RW installed setups, booted from that installed setup, at least with DCIMs 4.3-test iso from last week.

Some folks have reported the tablets-x86 iso would not root, it kept randomly restarting zygote on me.

The other iso works well for me, even sleep mostly works as intended on both my old Thinkpads.

Video playback on youtube is iffy, and the X200Ts sound will not work with headphones.

Most everything seems to work well on the slightly older X300.

[Quinny899]

A system app is just a user app with more access, nothing more, nothing that SuperSU uses either. It not prompting is not something I've seen before

Also, to reply to all the issues of the root from Android part of the script, it will be hit and miss, I can't do anything about that, it depends on hardware. However, using the root from another OS part should work fine regardless, as mounting a partition in Linux will make it R/W and it will write to it

Hi, All I'm installing A4.3 on a PC, (Android x84 4.3 downloaded as on 13-8-2013, CHECKSUM matched SUCCESFULLY)

The installation doesn't *ask to install /system as read-write as it was in A4.2, even trying many times + in VBox too.(is it me only with such exception, or it is actually not in A4.3?)

I tried to root through Live Ubuntu(USB) too, but it failed.

I need to root A4.3 badly, so is there any other way to root, or I'm doing something wrong.

Please Help!

Technical Details:

XP installed on sda1(NTFS)

Android x86 4.3 installed on sda1(without read-write), through USB Fash Drive

*Check out the screenshot

Android 4.2 asks for the read-write /system, but not Android 4.3 does not asks

[vicki...@gmail.com]

In response to my previous post, i.e I am not able to Root Android x86 4.3

Here is a image of what happens when I run the install.sh script in Alt-F1 screen

[Chih-Wei Huang]

4.3 can't run in NTFS with read-write mode. If you are interesting, try to fix it.

Hi folks If this hasn't been solved yet I'd say the correct implementation the take inspiration from is Cyanogenmod, as they do have Superuser embedded into setting directly what ever was required to reach that will have been covered. 

From what I've l;anced at there an extra sudaemon sat in the middle to feal with SELinux and it's labelled filesystem

After your Reply,

I landed on this page, and I learned that, its difficult to Rooting Android 4.3, even for the experinced duos.

I will try my best to contribute towards development of Android-x85 project.

Yes, indeed I've worked it out.
There are still some issues that
I'm working with the Superuser author.

Hi Chih-Wei Huang  

You're probably already aware of this in 3.7 and above kernels

Processor type and features - Supervisor Mode Access Prevention

  Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP) is a security

  also a small increase in the kernel size if this is enabled.  

Maybe a "gotcha" to look for when everything else is ok.

Thanks 

============

A Couple of off-topics question : Are you accepting patches or pull from github et al?

Is there a less formal way to address you than Chih-Wei Huang? It maybe a programmer thing but I think using the correct name convention is important?

Thank you. I'm not aware of that.
Do you suggest to disable it?

Sure. Patches are always welcome.
You can send them in either way.

[fgdn17]

isn't that only for x86_64 kernels????

[Greg McGee]

x86_64 kernel with 32bit (Android) userland is viable//works on 4.3 with no additional work other than running menuconfig to set up the 64 bit kernel.

Just make sure IA32_EMULATION=1 is also set.

untested build of android-x86 4.3 from latest updated git sources 

available from tabletsx86 on GoogleDrive here:

        https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwGIrsQjBkyQS0FfckE2MHh4Qm8/edit?usp=sharing

Superuser added and needs testing........

    to enable go to Superuser in settings, select SU settings in upper right corner, enable your choices

TO INSTALL GAPPS on YOUR Android-x86 installation

-------------------------------------------------

1) backup your existing apps from your installation

2) find the gapps package you want to install here:

        http://goo.im/gapps  (suggested for 4.3 is gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip)

3) unzip the gapps packages you selected to a folder

4) adb push (system folder from the unzipped package) ./system

5) adb reboot your system

there is also a method to install the gapps zip file after pushing it to the sdcard which is not documented here..locate it by google search
