No root access - FrosSky/Chevstrap GitHub Wiki

This is a common question a lot of people ask, so we’re going to walk you through how to do it right. Be sure to follow these steps carefully so nothing gets confusing.

NOTE

  • Please be aware that you should have some knowledge of cloning apps, how they work and how to use them. To keep your privacy safe, use cloning apps that are trusted and always review their privacy policy.

First, open your cloning app and clone both Roblox and Chevstrap. You need to clone both apps, not just one. Run Chevstrap inside the cloning app you are currently using. If you still get a message saying no root access, it could mean the cloning app isn’t fully supported on your device (phone or tablet).

Q: Why do i need a clone app?

A: Android is now very strict. In fact, iOS is even stricter when it comes to file access. regular apps including chevstrap itself can no longer access other apps's directories. These directories are protected by the operating system. The most reliable way around this is to use a clone app, which runs in a virtual environment that Chevstrap can properly access without requiring root.
