Excellent work! Exactly what I was looking for!April 24, 2024 at 3:31 PM #12478Linux UserParticipantOne more remark:
– Root access in Developer options is limited to “Disabled” and “ADB only”April 24, 2024 at 3:31 PM #12496Linux UserParticipantHi Albert, you might know that the SU binary is not accessible on the Lineage ROM by default (at least for user access) from now onwards. Lineage team has decided not to put this onto the ROM but a developer can make it to be there in the ROM out-of-box by building the Lineage ROM with WITH_SU=true environment variable.
See the Lineage 14.1 ROOT enable guide for more info. Recently I have updated the page.
Please follow the SuperSU flashing for Lineage 14.1 and see if that helps you to enable ROOT or not.
