How to test if Android is rooted

[salvomic]

hi,
how to test if Android is rooted?
I re-flashed with "trial boot" (rooted Android, Linux, Sailfish), the scatter file reported

Code: [Select]

- partition_index: SYS23
  partition_name: boot
  file_name: root_boot.imgand in the Firmware folds there was root_boot.img, but Rootchecker app affirms that there is no root reachable...
Could I test with Termux or other apps?

thank you,
salvo

root_boot.img is the right image.

But after flashing that, you also need to install an app to give you root access.  Planet recommend Magisk Manager, and that's what I used.  (I don't know why that's needed, but it is.)

After that's set up, you can then e.g. ‘su root’ in Termux.

Its required because the SU binary has been patched to force user UI level notification of root access attempts requiring confirmation, and fails closed by default.

thanks Andy,
I installed Magisk now, but how to use it? Here the app open the logo and I cannot see any menu...

EDIT: another thing: should I keep "Boot loader" option enabled or it is not necessary?
