Describe the bug/描述 bug
with apatch version 0.10.7 (10763) on my phone (linux 4.9), ap was running without problem. then i installed another kernel with required configs set:
`` CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y
CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL=y
CONFIG_KERNEL_DEBUG=y (this is needed or otherwise CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL will be discarded) ``
ap patching process was a success, but after installed the pathch kernel, i found some of the apps, which have been granted with root access, did not have root access anymore. i have checked package config file and the uids were correct.
then i opened terminal emulator (granted with root access) and issused su but got an error
Reproduce method/复现方法
$ su /system/bin/sh: /system/bin/su: No such file or directory
Expected behavior/预期行为
expected root access
Actual behaviour /实际行为
$ su /system/bin/sh: /system/bin/su: No such file or directory
however, i found that it was due to the shell (sh). after i switched to another shell root was granted
busybox sh su
so i made a module and put a symlink /system/bin/sh and pointed it to busybox (ie sh -->busybox). after the phone rebooted, most root accesses were granted properly
however, although root access is granted with this symlink trick, a few apps still cant get root and thus not working properly, eg swiftbackup

Your problem is very similar to #439, my suggestion is that until the problem gets solved by the author you can use the wake up root access feature in the software you use to use root (a few more times) - that is, by externally forcing the app to invoke root access on its own (old school rocker engine?).-That's what I'm currently doing and it works fine.
thanks for your reply
yeah they are similar but i can bypass it with the symlink trick for shell apps. while for the others like root explorer there's no way to force it to gain root access
glad to know it's a bug and not my problem
i will wait for updates in the mean time
thanks a lot
oh btw, there are 2 custom kernels for my device. one of them works properly after patching. but this kernel, although i have both CONFIG_KALLSYMS and CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL set to yes, it just didnt work as expected. so may i ask, did you know if there are any other kernel configs which may affect apatch?

Your method is great too (sorry just saw that you've solved it yourself). Whether other configurations affect Apatch or not, I don't know 😓
actually it's not solved completely, the trick only helps in command line but it doesnt work for the apps with one of the kernels
as you mentioned, it is similar to issue #439, may be PATH issue in ap? idk, just wild guess
anyway, hope that it can be fixed soon
thanks a lot
