Confused about root access
- Thread starter SirDarknight
- Start date
Sometimes off-brand devices come already rooted.
To test, see whether some task which requires root is possible, i.e. using ES File Explorer to browse /system, or even starting a terminal emulator app and typing "su" (to give superuser access - you can then type "exit" if it does work).
If you do have root, check whether you have a Superuser or SuperSU app installed. If not I'd be tempted to install one to act as a gatekeeper (control which apps can use root privileges).

share the love peeps ;)
Or just download a root app like Titanium Backup free version that will ask for SU permissions straight away

I never tried CPU-Z before. I just ran it on an un-root-ed Droid Maxx and it reported that it was not root-ed.

ES File Explorer,Root Checker failed but the app 'Root Browser' successfully took me through the files.
Which files? The key is whether you can view stuff that needs root, such as system files (just don't modify or delete anything!).

What are you trying to say by posting those pictures?
Sorry I am trying to play catch up here.

As Hadron said, root is needed to access /system, so see if you can view the contents of that directory with Root Browser. If you can't then the device isn't properly rooted.

Sorry for bothering u guys till now.
I've found out my problem and that's : My phone's company uses an edited version of Android which is neither rooted nor stocked.That's why I couldn't access system files.
THANK YOU ALL

Have a look here: (International) Galaxy Note 3 - All Things Root - Android Forums
In particular the 'All Things Root Guide' sticky thread at the top. I'd be rooting that Note3 quick-Sharp if it was aout of warranty and running the latest CyanogenMod ROM for the device.
If you do Root it/install a CM ROM, please read CAREFULLY the guide, and ask if there's anything you're not completely clear on. We're here to help.
