SuperSU is an application that allows people to manage the Superuser access rights, which are obtained by rooting the device.
What's new in SuperSU APK 2.82-SR2:
- This update to SuperSU brings SBIN mode (details below) and various fixes to Pixel support. The latter patches have been available as a test version on XDA ('PixelFix') for some time now.
- SBIN mode:
- Traditionally, SuperSU's systemless mode used an ext4 image (/data/su.img) that was mounted to the /su path. It was done this way to bypass some root restrictions (mostly Samsung's).
- SBIN mode stores its files directly on the /data partition, and makes su available through /sbin. The forementioned root protections have now been circumvented in other ways.
- For most root apps, this really shouldn't make any difference. Some very specific ones (like FlashFire) will need to be updated to cope. Apps that need access to SuperSU specific files and paths should refer to /sbin/supersu and /sbin/supersu_link, rather than finding the files on /data manually.
- SBIN mode is the default mode for Android O and newer, but is supported on Nougat and Marshmallow as well. To enable it on N and M, you need to execute the following command in ADB shell before (re-)flashing the SuperSU ZIP:
- echo "BINDSBIN=true">/data/.supersu
- Users are encouraged to try it on N and M as well as O, and report any issues they may encounter to the BETA thread on XDA. Upcoming SuperSU features will require SBIN mode.
