UPDATE: This method seems to be causing the app to crash for some folks. I haven’t used the feature in a while and am unaware of a workaround. You probably know the su or sudo commands on Linux, but those don’t seem to work in the Android terminal.
Fortunately, you can get around that via a terminal emulator setting. Here’s how to do that:. Install.
Open the above. Tap the options menu icon.
Tap Preferences. Scroll down to Shell. Tap Command line. Enter /system/xbin/su -c '/system/xbin/bash -' as shown below. One thing Android does have in common with desktop Linux is even the simplest things are always unnecessarily complicated for the sake of engineering ideological purism. Back out of Preferences.
Close the terminal window. Restart the app.
Approve the root permissions request that pops up. You’ll now have superuser permissions every time you start the terminal. Thanks for the method.I suspect the main reason for this is Android doesn’t handle user/administrator/root accounts in the same manner desktop Linux does.
On Android every app is a user in Linux parlance, while Android users are something else entirely. I have another solution that the Webmaster could share, using QPython (it might be ‘su’, ‘sh’ instead of ‘su’,’root’. But i think both will work depeding on the Android Version. (6.0 for me) 1) Download & Install QPython 2) create file: rootshell.py ————————- from subprocess import checkcall subprocess.checkcall(‘su’,’root’) 3) Run it from QPython You got a Root Shell bro!

? When i need to run some python from this shell, i type: /data/user/0/org.qpython.qpy/files/bin/qpython-android5.sh “/data/media/0/Download/myscript.py” I would stay with my method simply because i have Python AND a shell in the same app. Fun with “that other OS” paradigm In a stroke of absolute brilliance, Samsung ships a working app whose primary feature is disabled by default A rare good product that lacks a proper support page.
Being more secure makes settings disappear. I recently ran into the above error after attempting to encrypt my Verizon Samsung SM-G900V (Galaxy S5, klte) running LOS 14.1 (that was a mistake.) Basically it means TWRP can’t successfully decrypt the filesystem. When this happens, your best bet is to simply factory reset the device and restore a backup.
To do this, simply Should’ve been compatible from the start, but I’ll take it. Do you accept PowerShell as your lord and savior? $45 for a feature your previous phone had. What a time to be alive. Android’s most powerful feature is found on only handful of devices. None of which are Google’s.sigh.
