I don't know if i will update this, installation instructions may change over time, make sure you contact/read Viper4Androids instructions before hand always. Especially if this topic gets dated.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
FAQ:
Question: Why not use the Playstore version?
Answer: It's not officially maintained by the Viper4Android devs, this is easy and secure and up to date.
Question: Why do i need the SELinux Changer application?
Answer: Our firmware comes with SELinux mode ENFORCING, which does not allow Viper4Android the permissions it needs to install properly and installation without this will result in only the Viper4Android app working and making no changes to the sound quality as the sound driver fails to work. What this app does is change the mode to PERMISSIVE, which gives it the permissions to install properly so the sound driver installs successfully.
Question: Can i uninstall SELinux Changer application after installation?
Answer: No, the sound driver will fail as soon as you remove it, as it goes back to ENFORCING mode.
Question: I followed the instructions but i still did not notice any sound improvements?
Answer: Try rebooting and wait a couple minutes then open SELinux Changer and make sure it has root access and select PERMISSIVE and make sure It's on by closing and opening it and reboot and try again
*Reinstall the sound driver
*Make sure you tick Enable Viper4Android in all the tabs if you don't know which one your audio is played through and just to be sure
*Post in the Viper4android thread
Question: Can i install this as a user app? And is this a system app?
Answer: Yes you can install it as a user app but you might have problems with installation. Yes this is a system app.

Did you follow the instructions correctly? I think you did not follow the SELinux changer part.

I followed it all. Btw, i got unlocked bootloader and I used eagleroottool to root my device
Edit: It says "Driver installation failed, the busybox found on your device doesn't work. this usually means you installed the wrong or broken busybox, V4A needs stericson busybox to work. If you are sure about having installed the proper busybox, then please confirm your device has been properly rooted."

Already did but still not working. I'll try it again later
Edit: Got it to work. I used solid file explorer rather than es file explorer. Thank you
I would first like to say that I cannot guarantee if this works on ALL devices. I was able to get this to work on the Galaxy S6 and posted it on the Galaxy S6 forums, however I am looking for people with other devices to see if it works for them as well (because why not share the bypass love to everyone ) If it works, please post a screenshot to confirm so I can post it on the thread here. Thanks.
(Please note that I am not responsible if your phone bricks etc. Please use at your own risk! Myself and others who have also tested this bypass have had no reported issues of this bypass causing some sort of brick etc., but I cannot guarantee anything.)

Since October 2016, Google has (yet again) changed their way on how SafetyNet works and how they can now easily figure out if your phone is rooted or not. This caused many issues for rooted Android users who wanted to play games such as PKMNGO and use apps such as Snapchat. However, there is still ways to bypass SafetyNet.
Tested Devices:
- Samsung Galaxy S6
- Samsung Galaxy S5
*Looking for people with other devices to try and see if it works for themselves so I can add the device to the list.*
__________________________________
Requirements:
- Basic Understanding on how to use Custom Recovery, flashing zip files etc.
- Running on Android 6.0 (Looking for anyone with Android 7 to see if this works for them as well.)
- Phone has a custom recovery (I suggest TWRP) and on a Custom ROM. (Stock roms "should" work too.)
- Rom should have November 1st Security update or older updates. (Have not tested with roms with November 5th Security update and higher.)
- Magisk V10.2 & Magisk Manager 3.0
- SafetyNet Checker
- Phh Super User APK. PlayStore or 2.0 Beta
- Root File Explorer. I suggest Root Browser
- Kernel Adiutor
- Root Checker
(I have had issues trying Xposed on Magisk V9, however it may work on V10.2)
Tutorial
**WARNING: BIG IMAGES** (Had no time to resize them, but will soon.)
Before we begin, I suggest that you make a Nandroid backup through your preferred Custom Recovery. I suggest you use TWRP however CWM "should" work, but I have not tried myself.
Step 1:
Clean Install
The first step 'is' optional, however it is recommended that you do a clean install. I will be using Alexis Rom 8.0 Beta 2 for my Galaxy S6, but any rom should work. (Other than certain GraceUX ports, but am able to get it to work with other ported rom like CoreUi (a MIUI port) for the Galaxy S6). You should also flash a kernel now as well. I use to personally use Arter97 as SuperSU is not installed in this kernel, however Arter97 is slowly starting to become unstable as it hasn't been updated and there is better kernels out there. For this tutorial, I will be using Twisted Kernel.
Step 2:
Removing SuperSU
This step is 'also' optional, but ONLY if your rom/kernel does not automatically install SuperSU for you. In my case, it is automatically installed.
What you will need to do is to go to the SuperSU app, go to settings.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Scroll down until you see "Full unroot" and click it.
A popup will come up and click "Continue", then followed by another popup and click "NO".
Once you click no, your phone will freeze and then reboot. You should then install Root Checker to verify if your phone is unrooted.
(If for some reason, you are unable to use the SuperSU app but you know SuperSU is installed, I'd suggest you download UPDATE-unSU-signed.zip and flash it as it will manually remove SuperSU.)
Step 3:
Installing required APKs.
You will now need to install MagiskManager 3.0, SafetyNet Helper Sample, PHH Super User APK, Root Browser and Kernel Adiutor.
Step 4:
Flashing MagiskV10.2
You will need to reboot into your custom recovery and flash "Magisk-v10.2.zip", followed by rebooting. If you receive ERROR: 1 in TWRP when it is trying to mount SU, I suggest reflashing a kernel (and re-remove SuperSU), uninstalling Magisk with MagiskUninstaller (in Magisk thread) and reinstall Magisk V10.2, or reinstalling your rom.
Once you have flashed the file, reboot into System and open Magisk Manager to verify you have installed Magisk. A little pop up will open to allow Magisk to have root. Make sure to click allow and set it so it has root for "Forever".
If it states that root isn't properly installed, manually flash PHH Super User V266-2.
Step 5:
Enabling Magisk Hide
In Magisk Manager, go to the side menu and go to "Settings." You will see an unchecked box that says "Enable Magisk Hide." Select it and reboot. Re-open Magisk Manager and verify that it is now check marked. If the App crashes when you select "Enable Magisk Hide", reboot your phone and retry.
Step 6:
Set Permissions
In Root Browser, go to the directory "/sys/fs/selinux" and find the file "enforce" and the file "policy". On the file "enforce", change the permissions of the file from "644" to "640", and for the file "enforce", change the permissions of the file from "444" to "440". If Phh Super User pops up and asks for root access, click "Allow."
Once you are done, open up SafetyNet Helper Sample and it 'should' pass. If you are getting "Response Validation Failed" and the background is blue, uninstall Magisk by flashing Magisk Uninstaller, flash UPDATE-unSU-signed.zip, then reflash Magisk V10.2. Then, go back to Step 5 and enable Magisk Hide.
Step 7:
Use Kernel Adiutor to automatically set permissions in init.d
This last step is 'optional', however it automates the permission setting as every time you reboot your system, the file permissions will reset. Open up Kernel Adiutor, go to the sidebar and scroll down until you see 'Init.d'. Click it and make sure "Emulate Init.d" is enabled.
Then click the plus button, set the name to "Permissions" and then add the following script:
"chmod 640 /sys/fs/selinux/enforce" and "chmod 440 /sys/fs/selinux/policy" and save the files.
Also allow root access to Kernel Adiutor!
Step 8:
Reboot
Reboot your device, let Kernel Adiutor do its countdown (you will see in the notifications drop down) and once it says "Applying settings completed!", open up Safetynet and you should be passing!

Finally I can play again since they added the SafetyNet check! It's been way too long.
Worked perfectly on my Galaxy S5! I'm using the Resurrection Remix KLTE 6.0 for my Galaxy S5 so it came with it's own root. I just searched Root in settings, disabled it, flashed the unroot zip and then I was unrooted. Except for that everything worked the way you described! I forgot to reboot after Magisk Hide so I unrooted and reflashed Magisk but I'm not sure that was needed to be honest. Is SafetyNet Checker really needed? Magisk Manager also has a SafteyNet checker.
When I get more time I will do a backup and flash the 7.1.1 rom too and test if it works.
Complete package with everything needed in the guide for the lazy:

There 'is' a Safetynet checker in Magisk Manager, however it will always say 'CTS Profile error', while SafetyNet Checker will say if its either a CTS error, Response Validation error, Play Store error etc. Maybe it's just a bug in Magisk Manager but if it gets fixed; I'll remove SafetyNet Checker from the tutorial.

Can confirm that this works on 7.1.1 roms too! As I mentioned in my other post I use the Resurrection Remix rom.
By the way, you could mention that instead of using root browser to change permissions you could skip that step all together and just add the modification to Kernel Auditor. And instead of rebooting to test it you can just click the "Permissions" addition to execute the script right away just to make sure it works and then do a reboot to confirm.
Thank you so much. it worked

1. Open the Settings app, and go About phone tab and spam click on Version to enable Developer Tools.
2. Do a search in the settings for "Root" and disable Root access.
3. Reboot to Recovery mode and flash this unroot https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63615067
4. Reboot phone and follow xJovs' guide from step 3
Note: I also used the flashable zip file from the guide to get root and did not install the APK. https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/magisk-phh-s-superuser-android-pay-t3435921

It might be because of the Kernel but I'm just speculating. Try flashing a new one to see if it helps!

It will always return blue right after installing Magisk. You need to follow through with the whole tutorial to work. If you have, then it's probably your rom. It happened with me on GraceUX roms.

On the file "enforce", change the permissions of the file from "644" to "640", and for the file "enforce", change the permissions of the file from "444" to "440". If Phh Super User pops up and asks for root access, click "Allow."
Once you are done, open up SafetyNet Helper Sample and it 'should' pass. If you are getting "Response Validation Failed" and the background is blue, uninstall Magisk by flashing Magisk Uninstaller, flash UPDATE-unSU-signed.zip, then reflash Magisk V10.2. Then, go back to Step 5 and enable Magisk Hide.
Step 7:
Use Kernel Adiutor to automatically set permissions in init.d
This last step is 'optional', however it automates the permission setting as every time you reboot your system, the file permissions will reset. Open up Kernel Adiutor, go to the sidebar and scroll down until you see 'Init.d'. Click it and make sure "Emulate Init.d" is enabled.
Then click the plus button, set the name to "Permissions" and then add the following script:
"chmod 640 /sys/fs/selinux/enforce" and "chmod 440 /sys/fs/selinux/policy" and save the files.
Also allow root access to Kernel Adiutor!
Step 8:
Reboot
Reboot your device, let Kernel Adiutor do its countdown (you will see in the notifications drop down) and once it says "Applying settings completed!", open up Safetynet and you should be passing!

Step 6:
Set Permissions
In Root Browser, go to the directory "/sys/fs/selinux" and find the file "enforce" and the file "policy". On the file "enforce", change the permissions of the file from "644" to "640", and for the file "enforce", change the permissions of the file from "444" to "440". If Phh Super User pops up and asks for root access, click "Allow." Which file gets which perms bud you mention the same file twice.

Yeah I had to change it on my other thread in the GS6 forums. However I'm stopping maintenance of these threads as MagiskHide deals with all that permission stuff automatically now.
