ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-android-rootbeerwindow.cdvRootBeer.isRooted(successCallback, errorCallback);The responses on successCallbacks are either true or false. NB, these are string values not boolean values. e.g.
window.cdvRootBeer.isRooted(function(res){
// res will be true for rooted device.
// res will be false for non-rooted device.
}, errorCallback)| Methods | True | False |

checkForBusyBoxBinary: This essentially checks for busybox binary in known locations like /bin , /xbin & /sbin.
checkForSuBinary : Checks for su binary in known locations.
checkSuExists : Checks for native root in a different manner.
checkForRWPaths : Checks if paths are writable . Especially important if you have /system is rw.
checkForDangerousProps: Checks for dangerous props in build. Custom ROMs include some props which enable ease of rooting. Especially ro.debuggable.
checkForRootNative : Yet another root check. Checks for root natively, which is harder against root cloaks.
detectRootCloakingApps : Detects Root cloaking apps like rootcloak, & hide my root .Also Xposed and Substrate which are frameworks which help in cloaking.
detectRootManagementApps: Detects Root management Apps like SuperSU, Superuser (noshufou),Superuser (koush)
detectPotentiallyDangerousApps : Detect apps like Lucky Patcher ,ROM Manager & App Quarantine. The list is quite limited though.
detectTestKeys : Detects if ROM build has test-keys
isSelinuxFlagInEnabled : Checks if SE Linux is Enforcing. Thats it.
isRooted: IsRooted is amalgamation of the methods above.
isRootedWithoutBusyBoxCheck : Same as above , just without busybox check. Some phone manufacturers bundle busybox with their firmware.
