where is the backup su stored by Voodoo OTA RootKeeper?

When you make a backup of su in Voodoo OTA RootKeeper 2.0.3 on Android 4.1.2 where does it go?
/system/usr/we-need-root/su-backup

I took a statically-linked version of an su which literally just changes the uid to 0 when its run setuid and stuck it there too, named unrestricted-su (it doesn't linkup with SuperSU for privilege prompts or anything).

Note this only works on Android < 4.2 since 4.3 mounts /system setuid and does not allow dalvik zygotes to run setuid binaries.

Forcing windows 8.1 to install google usb drivers for adb access

http://stackoverflow.com/a/25576781/2718295

I had the following problem: I had a Android phone without drivers, and it could not be recognized by the Windows 8.1. Neither as phone, neither as USB storage device. I searched Device manager. I opened Device manager, I right click on Android Phone->Android Composite Interface. I selected "Update Driver Software" I choose "Browse My Computer for Driver Software" Then I choose "Let me pick from a list of devices" I selected "USB Composite Device" A new USB device is added to the list, and I can connect to my phone using adb and Android SDK. Also I can use the phone as storage device. Good luck
