Rooting NanoPC-T4???

[Tiemichael]

How do I root the NanoPC-T4?

From another post relating to NanoPI-T4 it says compile with 'Userdebug' - but this does not seem true.
My Build Number says: nanopc_t4-userdebug 8.1.0 ...

I either need a way to build the NanoPC-T4 rooted, or a way to root it afterwards.
If this is not possible, I most likely bought the wrong device ....

Thanks!

Not sure about this ...

Currently I am able to root my NanoPC-T4 via adb, but it only lasts until I reboot.
I have not found a way to 'autostart' it ...

How are you doing this via ADB? What commands are you using?

I am still looking at the kernel to see if this can be done from there.

Here are the commands I am using:
adb root
adb disable-verity (requires adb version 1.0.33 and above)
adb reboot
adb root
adb remount

adb install SuperSU.apk (from SuperSU.zip V2.82 - package)
adb push su /system/xbin/su (from SuperSU.zip V2.82 - package)
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chcon u:object_r:system_file:s0 /system/xbin/su

adb shell su --install
adb shell su --daemon&
adb shell setenforce 0
adb shell mount -o remount,ro /system (now system is rooted)

When opening SuperSu you will be asked to 'update the su-binary' - don't, or you will end in a bootloop!!!

adb reboot ( ==> no longer rooted)

Once this is done, you can become rooted again by:
adb root
adb remount
adb shell su --install
adb shell su --daemon&
adb shell setenforce 0

Looking at the complicated installation script for SuperSU with app 1600 lines, my current hope is to find (or even create) a CWS or TWRP-recovery for the NanoPC ...
Any other idea???

My post on this topic that Tiemichael linked is sufficient. However, you'll have to combine the last few posts to cover all bases.

It will root your system permanently.

Be sure to ask if you have any questions.
