I want to have fb messenger in ultra power saving mode (UPSM). for that i need to use the UPSM Manager app which requires root. I really do not like to root, because more and more apps are blocking rooted devices (Barclays banking, android pay, pokemon go). So I am asking if there exists some methods for gaining temp root (e.g. with adb). so i can install and use upsm-m once and then reboot and root is gone. It is important that the flag is not flipping.
Thank you for all your help

Nope, and even if you could, the app would fail as soon as root was removed

I expected that, on my old htcs there were temp roots available.
But the failing of the app after removing root, is not a problem. The app is just a configfile creator. Since the config file has changed, the app is not needed anymore.
If you don't know what the app "PhotoTAN Raiffeisen Schweiz" than this is probably not interesting for you.
I'm just writing this to confirm that the aforementioned app can be run on rooted devices. First I tried several of the root hiding apps in the market, but for all I tried, the app still detected root and deleted the credentials.
The next thing I tried was suhide which left my Tab S2 (T810, 6.0.1, rooted) in a boot loop.
I ended up trying Xposed with RootCloak (Xposed Guide for S7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039). Installing Xposed using FlashFire didn't work for me, so I copied the zip to the external sd and installed using TWRP. In Xposed I installed RootCloak and added the app to the apps root should be hidden from.
After a restart, I can now use the app without an issue and I can also backup/restore the credentials using TitaniumBackup.
I hope, this helps someone and I hope the devs of the app don't read this and fix the app.
Using Titanium Backup I also detached the app from the market, so I'll not get automatic updates.
So I rooted Nougat, 930U variant (Snapdragon), and now I can't disable any system apps. BK Disabler, Titanium Backup, 3C Toolbox, App Quarantine -- I tried them all , and none of them will disable anything. What am I doing wrong? I confirmed root is good and those apps a granted access through SU...
Use a root tool like this?

Yep I tried that one too, and App Quarantine. They don't successfully disable anything. And turns out I can't get BusyBox installed either. I don't know what's going on LOL
Update: re-rooted and fixed it. I was using an older version of the root.bat.
Good stuff :good:
I've been rooting my Android phones since about 2012, but today I got a point of sale card reader for my business and I'm not having any luck hiding root from the app (square reader app). The app wont work at all so I tried a number of options in magisk manager (magisk hide the app, hide magisk manager, enable core mode only) rebooting between each try and clearing the square reader app data and setting it up fresh each time, but still no luck
I tried to uninstall magisk but the app still didn't work. So I eventually flashed back to stock and got rid of magisk all together, now the app works but I don't have root...
I tried installing magisk again after I got the app to work and hiding root from the app before I opened it up again, but it still somehow knew the device was rooted
Can anyone suggest anything I haven't tried? Or is there an alternative to rooting the OnePlus 6 (other than magisk) and hiding root? I had a bit of a look around but didn't find anything.
Thanks
I had to go back to 18.0, heard 18.2 works as well.

Thanks for your reply. I tried with 18.0, damn, it still doesn't work, it still picks up that the phone is rooted
I tried the 18.2 canary build as well (18.2-e72c6685) no luck either
This app must be looking somewhere out of the ordinary for evidence of root in the phone
I have a bank application and facing the same problem. Hope someone can help us to make applications run by hiding the root
I think recent applications are looking for if knox security is tripped !! so in this case Magisk will not help
Ooohhh had to subscribe to this as I face the exact same issue!! Been trying to get my Square reader to work for a while with root and could never figure out how they are detecting root. Using Pixel XL here
Google changed something in Safety Net in play services, it passes, yet for me, google pay fails. That COULD be the issue, though I read 18.2 fixes that. Another option I helped a friend with is if it's detecting magisk itself via the files, culprit here was pokemon go.
Try opening your Magisk settings, the tick "hide magisk manager" clear the repo cache, and rename or delete the MagiskManager folder on the root of your storage. Reboot, clear data from the square app, and try again. Keep in mind, you have to unhide magisk to update it.

In my case, I dont think its detecting the files. The reason i say that is because I play Pokemon Go just fine with no issues. So whatever Square is doing, its something different then what PoGo is doing.

I agree, I have no problem hiding magisk and root from other apps, the square reader app must be somehow different. I've even gone through my storage and deleted any files or folders that might suggest the phone is rooted, but still no luck...
I also went into battery optimization settings to stop magisk from being put to sleep (which might stop magisk hide from working..?), that didn't work either.
I've found a temporary workaround to my problem anyway, I realized that I can share my internet (wifi hotspot) with my ipod touch, this way square reader works as the ipod touch isn't jailbroken or modified. It just means I have to carry around my ipod touch with me, which is a better trade off for me than having a stock, non root phone
Managed to get it working today! Upgraded my Pixel XL to the Android Q beta. By doing this, I had to run Magisk canary build. Installed square, enabled Magisk hide, rebooted and it worked fine! Not sure if the Android Q beta has anything to do with it,but give the canary builds of Magisk a try

That's awesome! What canary build did you use?
I tried the latest build a few weeks ago and it didn't work for me
Build 18120

No luck for me...
I updated to the latest canary build, cleared all data from square reader app, selected magisk hide, rebooted the device. After it booted up I tried to run it and it still detected root. I have a feeling that the OnePlus OS does something that doesn't totally allow me to hide root from the square reader app. It's annoying because for other apps root can be hidden
Maybe there's something in the Android Q build that lets you hide root better
Something that seems reliable right now on 18.1, Pixel Experience and OOS :
Combine Magisk Hide with Magisk "Core Mode". This seems to do the trick for now, Google Pay is triggered with normal mode, but works in Core Mode. Same for Snapchat and banking apps like N26.
But within this, you can't use any module.

This is always a good idea, on OOS at least, Magisk being optimized sometimes prevents the granting of root rights to apps, it never reacts to kernel applications requesting root on startup for example.
There's an issue with Googlypay services apparently. You need to downgrade it (remove factory updates) so it's down to version 14.something and then it should work.
You need to disable admin rights and background data to try to prevent autoupdates as well. This thread may be useful?

Hmm, I'm running the magisk xXx ROM and google pay is completely debloated/removed. when I get a spare half hour I might try removing the xXx module and flashing back to stock and following the advice in that thread. I'll let you know how it goes

Ummm yeah.. then the problem doesn't lie within Google pay it lies within the modifications that you are using.
I have to say I have never had any issues with Google pay or Android pay or any banking app using magisk. I don't even have to hide anyting. Of course I'm also not using any modified ROMs or kernels either
Hi guys,
I have this issue for a couple years now and I just cannot find a solution!
Google Pay, and 4 banking app from two different countries work fine with my 1+6 (stock ROM OOS 9.0.9 with magisk 19.4 - 7.3.4) but Square does not.
Did anyone find a solution?
Magisk config:
Magisk hide
Two modules OOS phone record and youtube
No core mode
All banking app and Square hidden
I upgraded to Android 11 (Oct 2020 stable) a couple of days ago. I have never been more disappointed in an Android release. My phone freezes constantly and the only way out is a hard reboot. Sometimes it takes 5-6 reboots before the phone behaves normally. There are lots of threads on Google forums where people are facing the same issue on different pixel models, so it looks like an issue with the OS and not the phone. I would like to go back to Android 10 and preferably save my data. I have a rooted phone. Can I follow the same steps that I performed to upgrade - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYib1WNr2I8?? Thanks!

No, downgrading requires a wipe (factory image with -w intact).

I am assuming you are rooted? Are you using systemless hosts module and Adaway? That causes what you are describing...there is a bug in one of them.
Uninstall Adaway and the Systemless Hosts module if so.

Yes, I'm using Adaway and Systemless Hosts module. Cool, I'll delete it. Any other way to run adblock currently?
Thanks a ton, btw! This really helps!
Edit: I uninstalled Adaway. But I'm running the canary version of Magisk and when I go to settings, there's no option to delete Systemless Hosts module. There is a button "Systemless Hosts" and when I click on it, it says 'Added systemless module for adblock apps'. How do I delete it?

One way to delete it would be to create a file called remove in the systemless host directory in /data/adb/modules/, and reboot. I don't have that module, so I don't know what the directory name is.
An alternative to AdBlock is Settings, Network & Internet, Private DNS. Set Private DNS provider hostname to dns.adguard.com.
