Where to download free SuperSU for Android root
Table of contents:
To be able to modify the system files of our mobile phone we need to be root. And what does that mean? Well, have administrator privileges to be able to carry out this type of task. In this news we are not going to stop to explain how to gain access to your system files (there are a good handful of tutorials on the web and on YouTube for this). Where we are going to stop is the SuperSu application, a familiar face among restless users who cannot stop rooting their computers to tinker with them.
Goodbye to SuperSu in the Play Store
SuperSu is a tool that allows you to install applications on your mobile that require root permissions For example, there are applications that help you uninstall other applications of the system. As you know, a normal Android user cannot uninstall, for example, the Google Chrome browser as it comes pre-installed as part of the system. What if we want to use another browser and not Google Chrome?
We have several options. The simplest is, directly, download that other browser and send Chrome to oblivion. And then we have the most extreme, which is to gain access privileges and uninstall Google Chrome. There is a middle ground which is simply disabling the application. It is still installed but it does not consume resources or data in the background, and it does not appear in the application drawer either. Of course, be careful with which applications you disable, as some may be critical to the system and leave your phone useless.
The developer of the SuperSu application, Chainfire, announced the end of the development of its application, passing the baton to the Chinese company CCMT. Now, in the fourth quarter of 2018, SuperSu disappears from the Google application store without really knowing what the reasons are. In addition, SuperSu's Twitter and Google + (yes, Google's social network still exists) accounts have not been updated for a year, its Facebook page has not shown any signs of life since March and the tool's official forum is not available. operational. How to get, from now on, the SuperSu app?
Where can I get the SuperSu app?
The only way, right now, at least reliably, to be able to download the SuperSu tool is through the APKMirror repository.You just have to go to their website and do the search for SuperSu. Although don't worry, because we have already done the work for you. Once downloaded, simply install like you would any other app and you're done. Don't forget to give proper permission to the system to install unknown applications.
At this point, note that simply installing SuperSu does not give your phone root administrator privileges To do this, as We said before, we have to carry out a process that is not without risk. Among them, unlock the phone's bootloader. What does this mean? Well, the boot loader is usually blocked by the manufacturers so that nobody manipulates them. What this unlocking does is that we can modify it to our liking. In addition, we have to install a custom recovery (or custom recovery).A custom recovery is an alternative menu to the one that comes by default on our phones (and from which we can do very little to avoid messing up our terminal) and with which we can modify the entire system, installing custom ROMs from third parties .
