Description

From the listing uploaded by “mark8”.

The access management tool of the future SuperSU is one of the world’s most famous root-only apps. It acts like a security guard for your phone, helping you manage permissions and ensure apps don’t overstep their boundaries. Great compatibility and no ads make this app a crowd favorite. SuperSU keeps track of which apps you've granted root permissions to and will automatically grant those permissions again the next time you run that app. You can always go back and see which apps you've granted root permissions to, revoke them, or see how frequently they use it. You can even use SuperSU to temporarily unroot your device and the app even works when Android isn't properly booted, giving you a great tool to troubleshoot issues if your phone is stuck in boot loops. The tool will also log how often those apps request root, whether they do so in the background, and even works even in recovery mode. IMPORTANT: In order to make SuperSU work you need to root your phone. Rooting can be done through two methods: using Android Application Package (APK), which is usually provided by 3rd party rooting service; or manually granting root access (can be achieved in recovery mode).

SuperSU APK: questions and answers

Is there a version of SuperSU for older Android phones?

The current version needs Android 2.3 or later. Version 2.71 is the newest listed build that installs on Android 2.1 and later. It is an old build: apps that rely on online services may no longer connect when they are this old. Get version 2.71 · All versions

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the SuperSU APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. It is signed with the same certificate as the other version checked. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 6475e8ec2b286be78ab1d10cae466e40.
