Obtaining Android7.1 ROOT permissions

Modify the file:

system/extras/su/su.c

system/core/include/private/android_filesystem_config.h

system/core/libcutils/fs_config.c

frameworks/base/core/jni/com_android_internal_os_Zygote.cpp

frameworks/base/cmds/app_process/app_main.cpp

device/qcom/msm8909/BoardConfig.mk

Purpose: In order to obtain root permissions by calling su in the application layer App, and then execute some commands.

system/extras/su/su.c

In the "main" function, comment out the verification condition of uid:

 
    //uid_t current_uid = getuid();
    //if (current_uid != AID_ROOT && current_uid != AID_SHELL) error(1, 0, "not allowed");

system/core/libcutils/fs_config.c

Modify the permission configuration related content of the su program:

    /* the following two files are INTENTIONALLY set-uid, but they
     * are NOT included on user builds. */
    { 06755, AID_ROOT,      AID_SHELL,     0, "system/xbin/su" },

frameworks/base/core/jni/com_android_internal_os_Zygote.cpp

Comment out the following:

static void DropCapabilitiesBoundingSet(JNIEnv* env) {
/*
  for (int i = 0; prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, i, 0, 0, 0) >= 0; i++) {
    int rc = prctl(PR_CAPBSET_DROP, i, 0, 0, 0);
    if (rc == -1) {
      if (errno == EINVAL) {
        ALOGE("prctl(PR_CAPBSET_DROP) failed with EINVAL. Please verify "
              "your kernel is compiled with file capabilities support");
      } else {
        RuntimeAbort(env, __LINE__, "prctl(PR_CAPBSET_DROP) failed");
      }
    }
  }
*/
}

frameworks/base/cmds/app_process/app_main.cpp

Comment out the following in the "main" function:

/*  
    if (prctl(PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS, 1, 0, 0, 0) < 0) {
        // Older kernels don't understand PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS and return
        // EINVAL. Don't die on such kernels.
        if (errno != EINVAL) {
            LOG_ALWAYS_FATAL("PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS failed: %s", strerror(errno));
            return 12;
        }
    }
*/

device/qcom/msm8909/BoardConfig.mk

Add the SELinux setting "androidboot.selinux=permissive" to the startup parameter "BOARD_KERNEL_CMDLINE" to relax permissions:

BOARD_KERNEL_CMDLINE := console=ttyHSL0,115200,n8 androidboot.selinux=permissive androidboot.console=ttyHSL0 androidboot.hardware=qcom msm_rtb.filter=0x237 ehci-hcd.park=3 androidboot.bootdevice=7824900.sdhci lpm_levels.sleep_disabled=1 earlyprintk

or

BOARD_KERNEL_CMDLINE := androidboot.selinux=permissive
