[Free] Root Checker Extension

#1

I’m excited to release my second extension: Root Checker

This extension allows you to:

  • check if phone is rooted

* execute Shell commands

* display executed commands’ output

This extension unlocks a variety of new things and it can prove to be very useful for the community.

Please provide suggestions and feedbacks. I have successfully tested on my friend’s rooted phone.

MORE FEATURES COMING SOON!

Download Extension

* Version 3: RootChecker_v3.aix (6.8 KB) (Changed the package name)

It’s always good to be up-to-date with the latest extension. But I have provided download links for old versions as well.

So does this check if your device is rooted?

#5

Of course, it does checks for root by executing su command.

Rooting is the process of allowing users of smartphones, tablets and other devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as root access) over various Android subsystems. As Android uses the Linux kernel, rooting an Android device gives similar access to administrative (superuser) permissions as on Linux or any other Unix-like operating system such as FreeBSD or OS X.

Powerful Extension!
Great work.

But for some reason, I can’t get this working.

Using v2 of the extension. Checking Root Status works perfectly fine, but executing shell commands doesn’t.

I’ve tried this:
Execute-> ls (No output and no message in logcat logs)

Execute-> su (Brings up Root Access prompt; granting permission produces no result (AfterExecute method doesn’t get executed, app freezes/slow responds) with the following logcat output:
02-26 15:22:52.148 4114 4114 D su : su invoked.

Thank you for doing tests. I was not able to test this extension perfectly as I don’t have a rooted phone. So, I didn’t test this with a rooted phone.
