Systemless SuperSU for stock roms - Xperia Z2 General

Hello all,
as you may know installing systemless SuperSU for Z2 stock roms was not possible until now due to the ELF format of the boot image. As a workaround one was required to install SuperSU in system mode, but support for this installation type seems to fade away...
In order to have convenient solution to enable systemless installation for elf boot image files, @adriandC created a tool called boot_bridge that works around the limitations caused by the ELF format. Up to now, only Xperia SP and similar device have been supported.
But, due to the recent efforts to support ELF images in libbootimg (backend library used by MultiRom) and which are found in Z2 and similar devices, the boot_bridge tool now supports the Z2 as well (boot_bridge also uses the libbootimg library). This is a result of a collaborative effort of AdrainDC and me wherby the main portion of the work on the boot_bridge was done by AdrainDC (I focussed on the Z2 ELF support, where AdrainDC fixed may changes such that the Xperia SP support is no broken )
You can find the tools here:
boot_bridge
Regards,
Diewi
P.S: I am posting this here to raise awareness of this useful tool, since this update may be easily missed in the cross-device dev section).

very interesting and saw this in Cross Dev section . will try and let u know
Do i have to come from clean install of the ROm ? currently im on stock .291 with super su

To be safe, uninstall supersu before. Either via a the uninstaller or by flashing stock.

Does this mean that we can now use Magisk, for example?

I have this exactly same doubt. I was using Magisk on my Z2 with @Gustavo RD78 amazing Advanced Stock Kernel, but after Magisk 6.0 i always got a bootloop when i try to use then

Hmmm I have Sony Xperia Z2 with Elite Kernel v3, Xposed, SuperSU, and Magisk V8 installed and everything is working fine for me

Custom kernels are not using the ELF format. The boot_bridge is for the stock kernel, not custom kernels compiled from stock sources.

So bootbridge will help us with e.g android pay? (systemless root on stock kernel?)

UBL only?

IF you need stock for that then: probably yes. But I am not into this android pay stuff (which has even more scurity mechanisms AFAIK to even detect systemless root), so at least I can't give you an answer to this. Anyone?

Deodex a Stock Rom is useless if you dont want to use Layers and because in the Stock Rom is the Sony Design App, you wont use layers. Deodex a Rom makes it a little bit slower, for designs like layers thats ok, but if you dont use layers it´s just making the device slower. And this thread shouldnt be in "General"
Oke master, i just want to share this rom perhaps there is need to mod app, cz i need for mod systemUI n framework, and i also use layers...
Thanks before master

I didnt say that its useless what you did, and you made it well. But you should explain more what for, what effects deodexing and so on, or that your script wipes something. Here are not only developers or Hardcore users But one real critic, it´s no rom, it´s just a deodex patch. You dont have the whole system in there.

How to remove this cm to lineage migration build background ?
People who have the watermark did you flash the nighly or experimental?
From my understanding the experimental build is only used for migration from CM and will have that watermark no matter what, the nightly build should have no water mark. I believe they posted this info on their site.
You're supposed to flash nightly over experimental. Just read the instructions...

You mean permissive, but you can use stock kernel enforced, a bit tricky, you need to root with supersu, latest beta sr3 runs fine. Superuser from los page doesn't recognize viper4a for root at all. I flashed latest arise and supersu, reboot, viper4a still not recognized for root, uninstall viper4a driver, supersu recognize viper4a now, confirm it. Reboot to recovery and reflash latest arise. Now it's working.
If you want Dolby too you have to use blackbird kernel and stay permissive.

Kernel Adiutor Mod should let you toggle that (requires root) under the Misc Controls tab. I would imagine the ad-filled subpar original Kernel Adiutor from the Play Store would too but I wouldn't recommend using that.
Is there an updater built in or do we flash all updates? Reading in other threads that ppl get a update notification when a new build is available. I'm on experimental cuz the nightly link didn't work when I tried last night

You must have installed other modules, probably my deep_buffer Remover because this module does NOT touch your bluetooth settings. This module is simply a framework for other modules to utilize and edit audio policy and audio effect files on your system.

Don't know what to tell you man. All this mod does is copy certain configs to a magisk directory and then magisk symlink them to your system.
The only thing I can think is that you have a boot.img compatibility issue with magisk.
Good news guys. I finally found a fix for AM3D and Dolby Atmos to work 100% in enforcing on both MagiskSU/SuperSU, Magisk OR System install.
This will be available in the AudModLib v1.3 update I will be pushing soon. I'll obviously fix any more bugs or make any other additions in the meantime.

So this won't be an app, this will be as part of the script. It essentially makes a few things permissive and allows the appropriate things to be activated, those that effect AM3D and Atmos.
Hi. Thanks for the mod. If I download and install through magisk or even download through magisk I get installation error. Doesn't say why. I'm on Z5C Nougat and fully rooted. Thanks Kam
[UPDATED] Audio Modification Library
v2.3:
- Script addition to allow various audio mods working with SELinux Enforcing
- Remove (audmodlib)service.sh and replace with pos-fs-data(.d) audmodlib.sh, which should fix when root may be lost upon installing certain mods
Download
Previous Changelogs (Audio Modification Library):
HTML:
v2.2:
- Added audmodlib.sh post-fs-data.d script
- Fix selinux injection script to work for MagiskSU/SuperSU (system and systemless)
- Install script fixes
v1.1:

[GUIDE][6/27/17] Magisk V13 + Rom + Passing SafetyNet + Working Modules for Pixel

I am creating this guide for Magisk v13 and working modules. Please let me know if there are additional ROMs that this guide works with, but I am trying to keep the steps as simple as possible.
Magisk Installation Instructions:
Download Latest PureNexus / PA ROM and follow those instructions
Boot into the ROM and go through the initial set up, at this point verify that SafetyNet is passing. If it is not you may need to factory reset and re-install your ROM.
Reboot into TWRP
Flash the attached modified Magisk-v13-Pixel (from Goodwin_c)
Flash the attached verified boot signer (from Chainfire)
Reboot the System
Uninstall the version of Magisk Manager that shows up in the drawer
Install the attached version of MagiskManager_v13_new5.apk (from Goodwin_c)
Open Magisk Manager (you may need to wait a bit, I had to clear it from my recents a few times before it launched and asked for file system permissions)
Go to the app settings and tick on Magisk Hide
Re-run SafetyNet and verify it's passing
Working Modules
I will create a video guide on how to modify modules to work with the Pixel phones until Magisk is fully updated to support Pixel.
Modules I have modified to work with Pixel:
Emoji One - systemlessly replaces emojie font with Emoji One.
Tethering Enabler - enables tethering on phones where it is disabled by the manufacturer/provider.

These still looks like the ones @goodwin_c created. If that's the case, then yes, it's very glitchy and you are better off sticking to v12. It is a good starting point though and hopefully he can get an updated v13 working soon!

What rom are you using? The issue I came across that Goodwin confirmed was that root seemed to work, but apps like Titanium Backup didnt work properly. Are you running any apps that require root? And do they seem to perform correctly?
It also looks like he released a v13_new5.apk on his AFH account. Are you still using new1? Just curious if the new5 version might fix any previous issues.

I'll update the post date in brackets when I make updates here. Goodwin_c does not have his own thread, so I've just been monitoring his android file host account. The original poster has not updated or maintained his guide from the RR thread, so I created a new one to be as up-to-date as possible and include modules as I modify them.

I've included both of those. I basically have been using beyond compare to compare the arise module that works with pixel to other modules and re-zipping them and testing with my device.
I see. Thanks.
Btw do you know the difference between v1 and v5 apk?
It seems MagiskHide is gone on v5?
I have tried Magisk-V13 on Pixel-XL with stock ROM.
I haven't tried it with stock kernel, since SafetyNet won't pass (as far as I understand).
Tested with Elemental-X + MagiskManager-v1, SafetyNet does not pass. App always says "cannot use Play service"
Tested with Kirisakura-Rebase-1.36 + MagiskManager-v1, SafetyNet passes.
MagiskManager-v5 does not come with MagiskHide, so I assume it cannot handle SafetyNet.
Both MagiskManager v1 and v5 loads very slowly.
Before the UI could be used normally (it means Magisk is loaded?), ROOT cannot be obtained.
So those boot-up root-required action would probably fail.

rom advice needed.

Air rom unfortunately you can't use some apps due to prerooted rom.
The first rom I used it but if you use any note 7 port the old ui seems outdated. I wish I could unroot someway the Air Rom which I use for daily driver but unfortunately I can't use an app that I need because it's prerooted.

Why dont U ask dev to Unroot it 4 u???? Give it a try. And as always U can unroot it by installing non rooted kernel after installing rom or inject non rooted kernel into Rom.zip. But, ask Dev, rom is great.
And, Note 7 Ports 4 me r better than s8 etc ports

When you are saying some apps are you talking about safetynet getting tripped? Why not just flash Spacelemon non-rooted and flash latest magisk with prop hide module to get it to work. I was able to pass safetynet with the latest version of AirRom at the time.

so... what are my options on roms that are stock android like...which wont be rooted and be stable ?
thanks in advance for any replies.

No worries for you being a newbie, but I just wanted to clarify that you can actually use restricted apps like Snapchat (created a burner account since I don't use it), Netflix, and Android Pay, etc.
Requirements:
- Lastest build from Bonuzzz (Mar.)
- Some basic knowledge on working Magisk
- Download Terminal app
- Possibly a third party file manager (ex. Solid Explorer, ES Files Explorer, etc.)
Steps:
- You need to download this and flash it in your recovery to remove pre-root from your device. https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/su/addonsu-remove-15.1-arm-signed.zip
- Head over to the Magisk thread and download the latest version of Magisk (16.0). https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
- Flash Magisk in your recovery and and open the Magisk Manager and update it when prompted.
- Head over back to the Magisk thread and download the MagiskHide Props Config module. https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-magiskhide-props-config-simple-t3765199
- Open back up Magisk Manager click on the three dashes on the top left and click on the modules tab. Press the button that shows a plus sign and locate the module that you downloaded/saved on your device.
- It should then start flashing through the manager and prompt you to reboot.
- After reboot, download any terminal app (preferably Termux) and open it.
- Type in "Su" and grant it root access. Next, type "props" and it should open up onto an interface.
- Type in "1" to change your device fingerprint and type in "f" to pick a certified fingerprint.
- From here, you can choose whichever certified fingerprint your device wants to be recognized as (I used Samsung Note 5).
- After choosing your certified fingerprint, it will ask you to reboot.
- After reboot, head back into Magisk Manager and click on the SafetyNet Check (It might prompt you to download something). Eventually you should get the same test like in my picture.
- (Optional) Head back into recovery and wipe dalvik cache/cache.
Hopefully this helps out on your problem on apps not working or not letting you install them. Also, this can work for others too that don't use lineage but other Custom ROMs (AirRom, Nemesis, etc.). All you need to do is just install the latest SpaceLemon Non-rooted Kernel or manually unroot and continue with the steps on "Heading over to Magisk Threads". I do hope that this worked for others, and sorry if the instructions are either too long or really complicated on following.

When you are saying some apps are you talking about safetynet getting tripped? Why not just flash Spacelemon non-rooted and flash latest magisk with prop hide module to get it to work. I was able to pass safetynet with the latest version of AirRom at the time.

No even with non rooted kernel and magisk hide props and safetynet passes correctly the app does not start due to root existance.I don't know what else to do.

For me the only solution was to flash the no root stock deodexed rom you wrote above earlier today. With air rom and doing every step to pass safetynet correctly the app recognises root whatever I do.
Just saying, but please don't create a thread like this on the Android Development page again.
